Shen Jiachen dropped Wen Zhixia off across from the coffee shop. He originally wanted to stay in the shop a little longer and keep Wen Zhixia company, but then he received a call from the company saying they needed to have a meeting.
Wen Zhixia said, "You go ahead and get busy, I've already arrived."
Shen Jiachen put his phone in his pocket, but before he could speak, Wen Zhixia pointed to the green light and said, "Bye."
She walked briskly across the street, before Shen Jiachen could even call her back.
The green light turned red, and Shen Jiachen stopped walking. Wen Zhixia had also reached the other side.
He watched Wen Zhixia's figure. After taking two steps, she suddenly turned around. The two looked at each other across the street. Then he saw Wen Zhixia smile at him, raise her hand and wave, and then turn and walk into the coffee shop.
Shen Jiachen's heart had never been at peace. Wen Zhixia took the initiative to greet him. Did this mean that she had feelings for him?
He couldn't control the corners of his mouth from turning up, and he said, "Effort will definitely pay off!"
Wen Zhixia didn't think as much as Shen Jiachen did. She entered the coffee shop and started working busily until nine o'clock in the evening before she had a break.
Whenever I have free time, I can't help but replay the image of Shen Jiachen crying in my mind.
She hadn't even cried yet, but Shen Jiachen started crying first. He was so tall and strong, but I never expected him to be so emotionally vulnerable.
Wen Zhixia raised her hand to pat her face, but as soon as she raised her hand, she saw that she was still holding a rag. She paused for a second, then quickly put her hand down and silently wiped the countertop.
Luckily, no one saw it.
Wen Zhixia returned to her dormitory, where she was alone. After taking a shower, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for the first time.
She picked up her phone, and after a short pause, a message from Shen Jiachen popped up on WeChat.
[Shen Jiachen: Have you arrived at the dorm yet?]
She had actually seen it before, but hadn't responded.
Wen Zhixia pursed her lips, looking at Shen Jiachen's message, and couldn't help but toss and turn several times. She didn't really know what she was thinking, and for the first time, she had a very conflicted feeling.
Reason told her that she should focus more on her studies and life. Although love is sweet, there are many examples of people who are devastated by breakups.
Wen Zhixia buried her face in the blanket and let out a small scream.
Seriously, this is so difficult.
Before Wen Zhixia could figure out what to do, Shen Jiachen's advances became increasingly intense, including, but not limited to, picking her up from school at the school gate in the afternoon to have lunch and take her to work, and then appearing at the coffee shop door on time in the evening to wait for her.
Moreover, Shen Jiachen is very sensible. He knows she doesn't want to attract too much attention, so he always pays attention. Whenever he notices that Wen Zhixia is even slightly unhappy, he immediately adjusts his mindset and takes the initiative to apologize.
This series of moves left Wen Zhixia speechless, unable to utter a single word of refusal.
After finishing her work outside the school, Yu Mingxue returned to her dormitory for a midday rest. She was surprised to see her and said, "It's only been half a month since I last saw you, but you seem to have a lot more energy and vitality."
Wen Zhixia is cleaning her dorm room right now. Tomorrow is Saturday, and she has a day off, so she can go home.
Hearing Yu Mingxue's words, she touched her face: "Really?"
Yu Mingxue nestled in her chair, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Looks like you've had a good two weeks."
Wen Zhixia silently swept the floor again, and Yu Mingxue said, "Stop sweeping, I'll call the cleaning staff to come and clean this afternoon. Tell me, how far have you and that guy gone?"
"It hasn't gone that far. We just eat together and take walks occasionally," Wen Zhixia said. "I listened to you and told him about my family situation."
"What was his reaction?" Yu Mingxue became interested and even straightened her back a lot.
“There wasn’t much of a reaction,” Wen Zhixia said. “She just cried.”
Yu Mingxue's eyes widened: "You cried?"
Wen Zhixia nodded: "Later, he contacted me even more often, asking me out to dinner every few days, and occasionally bringing me food."
"No wonder, you look a bit fuller in the face." Yu Mingxue nestled back into her chair. "Looks like you're a nice person, you know how to care for others. Are you two together already?"
Wen Zhixia shook her head: "We're still in the stage of getting to know each other."
Yu Mingxue looked at her face. Wen Zhixia was indeed in much better condition now. Although she was fine before, she was so thin that she looked like she could be blown away by the wind. Today, her face looked a little fuller.
She was already pretty, but now she looks even more like a soft, sticky rice ball.
Yu Mingxue said, "If someone is kind and caring, don't let them go. Although we don't know if we can make it to the end, it's important to enjoy life while we can."
Hearing Yu Mingxue's words, Wen Zhixia couldn't help but laugh: "Miss, I'm a little unaccustomed to you talking like this all of a sudden."
Yu Mingxue rolled her eyes: "Don't be ungrateful. I'm only reminding you because you cleaned the dorm room so well."
"Yes, yes, yes." Wen Zhixia then asked, "And what about you?"
"What do you mean, 'me'?" Yu Mingxue tilted her head.
"The guy you confessed to before?" Wen Zhixia asked, "How are things going between you two?"
“…We can’t even see him, he’s too busy.” Yu Mingxue picked at the rhinestones on her nails. “I don’t know what he’s been busy with lately, but I’m busy too, so it avoids the awkwardness of meeting him.”
She considered messaging Shen Jiachen several times, but then decided against it.
The other party has already rejected her, so why is she still going to pester them? Yu Mingxue is not the kind of person who clings on relentlessly.
But she was curious about the person Shen Jiachen liked, and wondered if Shen Jiachen was already with her.
She really wanted to ask Uncle Shen, but then she remembered that Shen Jiachen had told her that day that only she knew about this...
She and Shen Jiachen were childhood sweethearts, and she knew some things about the Shen family. Since Shen Jiachen didn't tell the Shen family, there was a 99% chance that this girl's family background was not as good as the Shen family's.
