Shen Jiachen placed his suitcase in the trunk. Wen Zhixia was already waiting for him in the car, her phone screen still showing her chat with Yu Mingxue. She was considering how to send a message to Yu Mingxue.
She never imagined that the person they were talking about was the same person.
Shen Jiachen opened the driver's door and got in. Looking at Wen Zhixia, he asked, "What's wrong? You look hesitant and conflicted."
Wen Zhixia turned off her phone: "It's nothing."
Looking at her, Shen Jiachen asked, "Is it because of Mingxue?"
Wen Zhixia just smiled, and Shen Jiachen said, "That's true."
He turned slightly to the side, resting one hand on the steering wheel, and continued to ask, "Did Mingxue say something to you?"
“No,” Wen Zhixia said. “She mentioned before that she had a childhood sweetheart, and her family wanted them to marry, but he refused.”
She looked at Shen Jiachen: "I just didn't expect that person to be you."
“Yes, I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence,” Shen Jiachen said. “But I’ve always treated Mingxue like a younger sister, and I’ve already taken care of the family’s arranged marriage from the very beginning.”
He clearly didn't want to mention that Yu Mingxue had confessed to him. Wen Zhixia nodded: "I know, she also said that you've always been a good friend since we were little, always taking her out to play, and even helping her with exam questions when she was in her senior year of high school."
"I'm not that good," Shen Jiachen said. "I just did what an older brother should do. After I'm done with this, I'll treat you and Mingxue to a meal, how about that?"
"Let's see what Mingxue says," Wen Zhixia replied. At this moment, she was more unsure how to bring it up with Mingxue.
Shen Jiachen nodded and said, "Let's go then. I'll take you home first, and then we'll have dinner together."
Wen Zhixia nodded, looking ahead. Shen Jiachen suddenly leaned over, and she tilted her head slightly, bringing their faces much closer together.
Shen Jiachen looked at his reflection in Wen Zhixia's pupils and slowly blinked.
My heart felt like it was soaking in a honey pot, all sweet and delightful.
Wen Zhixia blinked slightly, and the two looked at each other. Finally, Wen Zhixia asked softly, "What is it?"
Shen Jiachen suddenly came to his senses. He looked away in a panic, stretched out his long arm, hooked his fingers on the seat belt, pulled it to fasten, and naturally sat back down: "Fasten your seat belt."
Wen Zhixia blankly replied with an "okay".
Shen Jiachen quickly fastened his seatbelt and started the car.
Wen Zhixia sat in the passenger seat, her other hand slightly clenching, her heart pounding wildly.
Shen Jiachen drove Wen Zhixia home and even helped carry her suitcase upstairs, but in the end he just stood obediently at the door and didn't go in.
Standing at the entrance, I looked around the residential building. It was an old building with high floors and no elevator. Even in the dead of winter, I was sweating a bit as I climbed up.
He looked at the video doorbell at the door. The indicator light on the video doorbell was on, and it was now dutifully performing its task, illuminating the people at the door clearly.
She truly does her best in everything she can.
Having gone through so much, Wen Zhixia has become who she is today. Shen Jiachen rarely feels sorry for others, but Wen Zhixia has always been on his mind.
As he was thinking, Wen Zhixia came out. She knew Shen Jiachen was waiting for her, so she put her things away and came out.
She locked the door, turned to Shen Jiachen and said, "Let's go, there's a pretty good grilled fish place downstairs, shall we have grilled fish tonight?"
"Okay," Shen Jiachen replied, "Anything is fine with me."
When the two of them are together, even plain water tastes sweet to him.
Wen Zhixia introduced the surrounding environment to him. Although she was introducing it, she was actually paying attention to Shen Jiachen's reaction. He listened attentively the whole time, without the slightest impatience on his face.
She felt a little relieved. She had thought that a rich young master like Shen Jiachen would not be used to such a scene, but it turned out that he was quite pleased with himself.
After eating the grilled fish, Shen Jiachen had to leave. Wen Zhixia reminded him, "Drive carefully. There's a section of the road with many forks. Remember to follow the navigation. Message me when you arrive."
Shen Jiachen nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely follow the navigation."
Shen Jiachen has a bad memory for directions, so he has developed the good habit of using navigation wherever he goes. He started the car, but then remembered something and turned to Wen Zhixia, saying, "It's almost the end of the year, and there's a lot more work to do at the company, so I probably won't be able to come see you as often."
"Work is important." Wen Zhixia waved her hand. "See you later."
Shen Jiachen hummed in agreement: "See you later."
Only then did they reluctantly drive away.
After watching his car drive away, Wen Zhixia turned her gaze back and walked back, but she stopped again after only a short distance.
It's still early, just past six o'clock. The house is very clean, so even if she tidies up a bit, it won't take her long.
She slightly raised her head, looked at the eighth floor of the residential building, then took out her phone and sent a message to Yu Mingxue.
[Wen Zhixia: Mingxue, can we meet?]
Yu Mingxue replied quickly: 【What's there to see?】
Wen Zhixia: I want to see you.
There was no immediate reply, but Wen Zhixia wasn't in a hurry. She stood quietly downstairs and waited. Fortunately, Yu Mingxue sent a message soon after.
[Yu Mingxue: 303]
Then comes positioning.
Wen Zhixia checked her location; it would take about 20 minutes by taxi, which wasn't too long.
She exited the location service and was about to reply with "okay" when Yu Mingxue transferred another 200 yuan to her.
Wen Zhixia was puzzled, so Yu Mingxue said: [Take a taxi. I don't have time to wait for you to dawdle by bike or take the bus or subway. Don't show up if you're not here in thirty minutes = ="
Wen Zhixia blinked, then suddenly chuckled and returned the 200.
[Wen Zhixia: I was planning to take a taxi anyway, wait for me.]
