When Wen Zhixia arrived by taxi, she discovered that it was actually a high-end club, not just a karaoke bar. The entire entertainment venue was divided into three floors, each with different attractions.
Following Yu Mingxue's instructions, she first went to the front desk, and the front desk then led her to the door of room 303.
She pushed open the door and went in, expecting there to be many people inside, but to her surprise, only Yu Mingxue was sitting on the sofa, with songs playing randomly on the large screen in front of her.
When Yu Mingxue saw the door open, she downed the wine in her hand in one gulp, placed it on the coffee table in front of her, and gave her a light, indifferent glance.
Wen Zhixia closed the door, slowly walked over, and sat down next to her. For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.
In the end, it was Yu Mingxue who made the first move. She turned the volume of the speaker down to the minimum and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me? Why are you silent now that you're here?"
"I'm still organizing my thoughts," Wen Zhixia said. "I had already thought of what to say in the car, but now that I'm in front of you, I don't know what to say."
Yu Mingxue leaned back on the sofa: "Don't be so ambiguous. Just say what you want to say."
Wen Zhixia pursed her lips: "I didn't know he was the childhood sweetheart you mentioned."
“I know,” Yu Mingxue yawned. “I didn’t say that.”
Few people at school knew that she knew Shen Jiachen, and Shen Jiachen spent most of his time at Shen's company, only returning for exams. Moreover, the two were juniors and sophomores, and Wen Zhixia spent her days attending classes and working part-time, so it would be a miracle if anyone knew.
Wen Zhixia looked at her expression and asked, "Are you angry?"
"Why would I be angry?" Yu Mingxue closed her eyes. "What happened between me and Brother Chen has nothing to do with you. Even without you, he wouldn't like me."
Wen Zhixia twisted her fingers, unsure of what to say.
Yu Mingxue opened one eye and glanced at her. She said, "I thought you would mind our previous plans for a marriage alliance after you found out."
"What do I care about..." Wen Zhixia said slowly, "These things have nothing to do with me."
She's not a clueless person. If she knew Shen Jiachen was a bad person, she would have run away faster than anyone else.
"Then why did you come to see me?" Yu Mingxue said, "I thought you were unhappy because I was involved in a marriage alliance with him and confessed my feelings to him."
"No," Wen Zhixia said, "I was afraid you would be unhappy."
"Does it matter whether I'm happy or not?" Yu Mingxue said, "You're so nosy, why do you care whether I'm happy or not? I think you're crazy. Anyone would want to calm down at this time, but you just have to come right up to me."
"But I don't want to lose you," Wen Zhixia said bluntly, "so I definitely had to come see you."
Yu Mingxue was stunned for a moment, then said, "...You're crazy, I'm not a lesbian."
Wen Zhixia said softly, "I'm serious. Although you sometimes say things that are hard to hear, I always feel that we are good friends."
Friendship and love are truly mysterious things. From the first moment she saw Yu Mingxue, she actually liked her quite a bit. After getting to know her better, she discovered that Yu Mingxue was a cute girl who was stubborn and proud. She seemed fierce on the surface, but actually did a lot behind the scenes.
She was about to pay her utility bills when she discovered she had enough money in her account to live on until graduation. She also only found out a couple of days ago that her dormitory fee had already been paid by someone else, and that person who had been silently paying it was Yu Mingxue.
She transferred money to Yu Mingxue, but Yu Mingxue always acted as if she had time to transfer but not to receive it. Even if she secretly transferred the money to another payment app, Yu Mingxue sent her new winter clothes that same day, saying that she didn't like them and was giving them to her as a gift. She was sharp-tongued, but she was actually just showing her concern in a strange way.
Wen Zhixia said, "I know you'll say again, 'When have you, Yu Mingxue, ever lacked friends?' But Mingxue, in my eyes, you are my good friend."
Yu Mingxue reached out to grab the wine on the coffee table, but Wen Zhixia grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't drink it, or you'll get acute gastroenteritis again."
Yu Mingxue opened her mouth, then subconsciously retorted, "You're such a busybody."
However, she still pulled her hand back: "If you want to praise someone, then praise them. What do you mean I sometimes say things that aren't nice? Others want to hear it but don't even have a chance."
Wen Zhixia smiled and said, "I'll change next time, can you please not be angry?"
"What do I have to be angry about?" Yu Mingxue crossed her arms. "I'm not crazy."
Wen Zhixia hadn't done anything wrong, and the two of them had exchanged information without knowing it. Now that she knew, she was more shocked than anything else.
In her eyes, Shen Jiachen was a noble and reserved, gentle but not talkative older brother. Every time she saw Shen Jiachen, he always seemed calm and composed, as if he had everything under control.
But the Shen Jiachen that Wen Zhixia described was different. He would shed tears on the street because he felt sorry for someone, and he would carefully invite Wen Zhixia to dinner. He would laugh for a long time because of a single sentence from Wen Zhixia.
If she hadn't actually met him today, and if Wen Zhixia hadn't told her beforehand that it was Shen Jiachen, she probably would have thought it was just someone with the same name.
It turns out that liking someone really does change you.
Yu Mingxue, however, remembered something else and said, "I just didn't expect that the person he praised so highly was you! Besides your strength like an iron ox, your face is alright, and your temper is alright too. How are you anything but the best in the world!"
"..." Wen Zhixia held back for a long time before finally managing to say, "Thank you for praising me."
Yu Mingxue realized what was happening: "Was I praising you?"
