Was he being too greedy? Did he just want to see how long Mu Wenxi could hold out? Is seven days really a long time? It must be that seven days is too long; she's unwilling to continue.
Guang didn't get out of bed until midday and found Lu Heting sitting blankly in his seat, holding his phone and seemingly lost in thought. He was about to tease him when he noticed that Lu Heting's expression was a little off.
Guang quickly checked his phone; there were no posts about lovingly prepared breakfasts on his WeChat Moments today. He cautiously asked, "Didn't the young lady bring any today?"
Lu Heting: "Hmm, there might be something going on."
He quickly regained his composure and went to the library.
When Mu Wenxi saw Lu Heting's post again, she realized that she had forgotten to send him the breakfast. By then, Lu Heting had been staying at home for several days.
Lu Heting posted a picture of rain.
Mu Wenxi asked Xiao A, "Oh no, I forgot to tell Lu Heting. Do you think his post on WeChat Moments means he's in a bad mood?"
A: "Maybe it's just raining?"
Mu Wenxi then sought help from Xia Ni.
Xia Ni: "That's because you're in a bad mood! You have to remember that no one posts on Moments for no reason. Even if someone posts on Moments just to record their life or their mood, they're still recording their life or their mood. If someone posts about rain, they might be telling you about the weather where they are or how they are feeling right now."
Mu Wenxi: "You're right, then I'll have someone send him an umbrella?"
Xia Ni: "Of course not, you should care about him."
Mu Wenxi racked her brains again. After thinking for a while, she sent Lu Heting a message: "It's raining, take an umbrella."
Lu Heting almost laughed out of anger. He wasn't stupid; of course he knew to bring an umbrella when it rained.
Seeing that the other party hadn't replied, Mu Wenxi wondered if she had sent the message to the wrong person. So she thought for a moment and sent another message: "It's raining, wear more clothes."
Lu Heting closed his eyes. This must be a sign of concern for him, but when he saw the message, he actually laughed. Should he laugh at how silly the other person was?
She's usually quite clever when she's angry. She was the one who said she wanted to win him back, so how come she doesn't even know how to care for others? She just disappeared without a word. Heaven knows how his mood has been fluctuating these past few days because of her.
Lu Heting thought he had to do it himself, as it would be a long time before she figured it out: "Why aren't you bringing breakfast anymore?"
Mu Wenxi: "I'm home, what's up?"
Lu Heting breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent a message: "I thought you had disappeared and given up."
Mu Wenxi felt a little guilty: "No, I'll bring it to you again when I get back."
Lu Heting: "Don't bother seeing me off."
He didn't actually want Mu Wenxi to get up so early; she used to sleep until she naturally woke up.
Mu Wenxi thought Lu Heting was angry and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I forgot about it after I went home."
Lu Heting, sitting opposite, also paused. In the past, he had always been the one to apologize to the young lady in a humble manner. When did she start apologizing? He felt a little uncomfortable, but he also wondered if he was a masochist. She had only said "sorry" once, and he was already feeling sorry for her.
Lu Heting: "It's okay."
Mu Wenxi cautiously sent another message: "Is there any way I can win you back?"
Lu Heting's heart skipped a beat; she was serious. He replied, "Yes."
Mu Wenxi patted his chest. Great, it's solved. He can even win Lu Heting back. But how can he win him back after they get back? Sending him breakfast probably won't work.
Mu Wenxi paced back and forth in the enormous room, then came up with an idea: "Then I'll bring you some water!"
Lu Heting almost fainted when he saw the message. How come he never realized that this girl was so oblivious before? He thought that when Mu Wenxi asked him if he could win her back, she meant whether they could get back together, so he answered yes.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed the other person was asking if it was still possible to continue the process of winning him back, so she decided to continue bringing him water.
Lu Heting felt a pang of sadness, a bittersweet feeling, but after a while he came to terms with it.
He recalled the scene when he was dating Mu Wenxi. At that time, there was no process of either of them pursuing the other, or even a confession. It was as if the two of them suddenly hit it off and then often went out to eat.
As a result, they started arguing about food. At that time, Mu Wenxi didn't want to eat in the cafeteria at all, and her words were full of disdain. Every time they went out to eat, it was a huge expense. It wasn't that Lu Heting didn't want to spend the money, but he felt that it was unnecessary to use several months' worth of living expenses for a single meal.
Later, the two of them gradually became busy and often had cold wars. Except for the very beginning, Lu Heting's memory of this relationship was that it was mostly unhappy.
But now he thinks it's good to take things slowly. He's thinking of giving himself and the other person another chance to get to know each other better. Maybe the other person will be willing to change their bad temper and bad habits for him?
He also began to reflect on himself, realizing that he hadn't worked hard enough. His family was so different from Mu Wenxi's, and now he was just a student. The money he earned from part-time jobs and his usual scholarships was simply not enough to support Mu Wenxi's daily life.
He was also unwilling to let Mu Wenxi give up her original quality of life for him, which may be the root cause of their many cold wars.
Lu Heting held his phone, thinking, "Give me some more time, and I'll give her the life she wants." He opened his phone and replied with "Okay."
Mu Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, he agreed. It's so hard to win someone over."
The family of three ate dinner at the restaurant that evening. The table was laden with a variety of delicious Chinese and Western dishes, totaling more than a dozen dishes. There was no way the three of them could finish it all.
Mu Wenxi ate this and that, and suddenly felt that so many dishes seemed a bit wasteful.
Mu Wenxi: "Dad, Mom, let's cook less next time. It's such a waste to not be able to finish so much."
Mu's father: "We don't have that many dishes when you're not home."
The shepherd's mother said, "This shows that my daughter has become sensible and knows how to cherish food. Next time, I'll ask the kitchen to cook less."
Mu Wenxi: "Hmm."
Mother Shepherd: "How are you adjusting to school?"
Mu Wenxi: "It's fine."
Dad: "Do you still like the food at the school cafeteria?"
Mu Wenxi: "I can eat it. If other classmates can eat it, why can't I? Besides, it's quite delicious."
The shepherd's mother, with tears in her eyes, said, "You've become so sensible!"
Mu Wenxi: "You've grown up."
Father: "How have you been lately? Do you have all your medications with you? We'll go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."
Mu Wenxi: "It's fine, I brought them all."
Mother Shepherd: "That's good."
Inside the room, Mu's mother and father were leaning against the bed.
Mother Shepherd: "Now I can rest assured."
Father: "Hmm."
Mu Ma: "I was a little anxious before, thinking that my child was too spoiled. After living at school for a while, he has become much more sensible."
Father: "Isn't it because you spoiled him?"
