Chapter 549
Ms. Wen was very happy that her two children had successfully completed the college entrance examination. She did not ask them how they did, but instead cooked a sumptuous dinner to celebrate. During the dinner, she chatted with them about the summer vacation that lasted for more than two months and asked them what their plans were.
When Zongmu said he wanted to take Wenxin on a trip, Wenxin's mother wholeheartedly agreed.
After two years of getting along, Wen's mother had long since come to regard Zongmu as her own son.
In her eyes, Xiao Mu is a good student, has a good temper, is reliable, and has a sense of responsibility. He is the most outstanding child in the eyes of all parents.
Moreover, this wasn't the first time Zongmu had taken his daughter out to play; he always arranged everything perfectly, never causing Wen's mother any worry.
Zong Mu also intentionally or unintentionally let Wen's mother know that he was too strong in combat and that protecting Wen Xin outside was no problem at all.
Now, Wen's mother was even more relieved.
Wen Xin: -_-||
She was speechless at her own mother's naiveté.
It's been two years already, and she still hasn't figured out what Zong Mu's intentions are towards her daughter?
So, how exactly did Mom and Dad fall in love back then?
Wen's father underground: Sigh, it's all tears when I think about it!
If Wen Xin pretended to be oblivious when it came to matters of the heart, then her former mother was truly a blockhead, the kind who made Wen's tough father shed tears.
Zong Mu: "..." It seems like I'm not in such a bad situation?
Suddenly I felt so at peace!
Mr. Wen was furious: Throw this brat who's eyeing my little darling out of here!
Wen's mother didn't hesitate to expose her: Come on, Xiao Mu, eat more. Take Xin Xin out to play more often. Young people should be more lively and enjoy their youth to the fullest.

It's not that my wife was too naive; it's just that he left us too soon.
...
Wen Xin stayed home and caught up on sleep for a week, making up for the sleep she had missed due to studying over the past two years, before she was refreshed and went on a trip with Zong Mu.
Unlike before when they were preoccupied with their studies, and even during winter and summer vacations when they would only visit scenic spots within their own province, this time they planned to first go to Y province and then travel around the beautiful landscapes of the motherland.
Upon arriving in Y Province, they first settled in a scenic ancient town.
Zong Mu rented an old house with great expense. It was very clean, antique, and the environment was very quiet.
They just need to repack their luggage.
Zong Mu took care of all the affairs, while Wen Xin, who had traveled all the way by high-speed train, rested on the soft couch in the room, watching him busy himself.
Noticing her gaze, Zong Mu looked up, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "Hungry? I'll take you out to eat later."
The girl nodded obediently.
After dinner, the two walked along the ancient town road paved with bluestone slabs, watching the sun set in the west and the pedestrians around them strolling leisurely.
There is no hustle and bustle of the city here, and time seems to slow down. For them, who have been under pressure for two years and immersed in a sea of questions, this is a great place to relax.
Wen Xin also understood why Zong Mu chose this place as the first stop on his trip.
The two walked to the stream and watched adults playing with children on both sides of the stream.
A cool breeze blew along the stream in the evening, dispelling the summer heat.
They sat on the grass, watching the beautiful sunset together.
It seems that no matter the sunrise or sunset, they will always be together, neither of them leaving the other.
Just when Wen Xin thought he was going to say something, the boy said nothing again.
After taking her for a short walk outside, we returned to our lodgings.
However, the moment she stepped through the gate, the lights in the courtyard suddenly came on.
Exquisitely designed lanterns hung throughout the courtyard, and red roses bloomed beautifully under the lights.
In the center of the courtyard, roses were arranged in a heart shape. A hissing sound came from inside, and a dazzling spark caught her eye, forming a sentence.
"Wen Xin, I like you."
Before Wen Xin could react, the boy standing behind her reached out and hugged her, his deep voice whispering gently in her ear, "I've been thinking about how to confess to you after the college entrance exam?"
He knew she wasn't someone who valued material things or rituals. Perhaps after the college entrance exam, if he confessed his feelings directly outside the exam hall, she might accept it.
It wasn't that he was narcissistic, but rather that they had developed a tacit understanding by spending time together over the past two years.
Besides, Zong Mu was more confident than anyone else that no one in the world loved her more than him.
His little white rabbit is kind and obedient, but she is also very smart and insightful.
Therefore, he knew she would accept him.
However, Zong Mu was unwilling for their closer relationship to start casually, fearing that it would end in an unclear and ambiguous way.
This is something he cannot accept.
He wanted to give her a formal confession ceremony to make their relationship clear and unambiguous.
Zong Mu nuzzled her face. "Ah Xin, will you be my girlfriend?"
How could Wen Xin not know what he was thinking?
She smiled, pursing her lips. "Do I have the option to refuse?"
"No!"
"Then why are you asking me?"
"We always need to have a sense of ritual, just in case you cause trouble for me later."
Am I being that unreasonable?
"Of course not, it's just that I'm afraid of having regrets."
Yes, whatever my girlfriend says is right, even if she's wrong.
Wen Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She turned around, her soft arms wrapped around his neck, her eyes shimmering with tears. "Zong Mu, you've been chasing after me all this time, aren't you tired?"
Zong Mu held her slender waist, lowered his eyes to meet her gaze, and the affection in his eyes was as intense as a flame, burning brightly and never going out. "I have rediscovered the joy of living because of you, and even when I am tired, I am happy."
He was only afraid that she didn't love him and would leave him.
Now he no longer lives in a daze. When he opens his eyes, all he thinks about is her. Every moment has something to look forward to and something to mean.
She brought color to his gray and desolate life.
Wen Xin's eyes flickered. "But if I love you, but not as much as you love me... no, my feelings for you are never as strong as your feelings for me, won't you feel bad?"
Zong Mu affectionately pinched her little nose, "But you only have me by your side, and I'm the only other person you can accept, right?"
Wen Xin nodded gently, without denying it.
She couldn't bear not even giving him this small token of her affection.
Zong Mu happily embraced her, "That's enough, little rabbit. Just know that I will always be loyal to you."
Wen Xin hugged him back and buried her face in his shoulder. "Zong Mu, you're so good to me."
Zong Mu pretended to be unhappy, "Little white rabbit, can't you just say you like me?"
The girl's pearly ears flushed red. "Didn't I already agree to be your girlfriend?"
Isn't that what it means to like someone?
