Chapter 117 Strange Girl
Chapter 118 Strange Girl
After settling everything, Wen Ning took Fang Qing to have dinner and then took a walk around the school to digest the food.
Wen Ning thought about what had happened in the past few days and felt that he should inform Fang Qing.
"Qingqing, starting from next week, I may not be able to eat with you anymore."
Fang Qing was a little surprised. He stopped and looked at him, "What's wrong? Did something happen, or are you going to compete again?"
Wen Ning touched her woolen hat and smiled gently, "Neither of those. I asked you to find me a part-time job tutoring two local high school students. The working hours are flexible and the pay is good. But this means I won't be able to accompany you on weekends."
Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand nonchalantly, "I thought something had happened. It's a good thing that you're looking for a part-time job. Just go for it. I absolutely support you."
Wen Ning put her hands in his pockets, and the two of them continued to walk slowly back along the lake. "But in this case, I won't have time to take care of you. If you encounter any problems in the student union, go find my friends. I've already told them in advance."
Fang Qing had never seen Wen Ning so talkative before. Although the things he instructed were just trivial matters, Fang Qing was very happy to hear them.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'm fine, and I won't cause you any trouble. As for you, just go out and work. I'll run around in school again..."
But neither of them expected that this remedial lesson would bring them countless troubles in the following years.
The days that followed were peaceful but busy.
Wen Ning was in his sophomore year, and in addition to his normal classes he had to prepare for various competitions, and he also had to work part-time in his spare time, so the time they had to meet each other suddenly became much less.
Fang Qing was a little uncomfortable at first, but she also understood that not everyone had to be with her all the time. In order to ease her sudden lack of spare time, she also began to add more life plans to herself.
In addition to normal courses, she began to use her spare time to do simple designs according to the accompanying courses, learn interior and exterior decoration courses, and even began to learn from some nearby decoration companies. On weekends, she would go to the activity room to draw her own designs.
Because she was weak and often fainted before, Fang Qing took this opportunity to put her fitness plan on the agenda. Every night before going to bed, she would run around the playground a few times, memorizing words while running, and she felt more fulfilled every day.
Wen Ning had a rare day off that day, so the two of them made an appointment to have lunch together.
Fang Qing looked at Wen Ning who was peeling eggs for him, with only a bowl of vegetables and a steamed bun in front of him, and frowned. Fang Qing knew that Wen Ning was actually a person who loved to eat. Although he didn't say it, when he was in his hometown, every time his mother made delicious snacks, he was very active. But now he was so harsh on himself, Fang Qing felt uncomfortable.
This guy buys himself some fruit when he earns money, but he is reluctant to eat something good.
He turned around and got a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a plate of salad, and pushed them over. "You haven't been eating well recently, have you? I see you've lost weight. Don't eat the steamed buns. Eat this instead."
The fragrant chicken soup wrapped around the silky noodles, and the emerald green onions made the chicken soup instantly burst with an enticing aroma. Wen Ning couldn't persuade Fang Qing, so he had to put down the steamed bun and picked up the chopsticks with a smile.
After taking a bite, he nodded repeatedly, "This soup is quite good, you should try it too."
As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful of soup and handed it to Fang Qing. Fang Qing drank it in small sips and felt the freshness and fragrance in his mouth. He immediately felt that it was worth spending the extra three dollars to buy this soup noodle.
"This should be stewed with old hens. The soup is clear and delicious, and even the oil is skimmed off. The canteen has been paying more and more attention to the dishes recently. This is worth the money. You should eat it all. It's more nutritious than the steamed buns you eat."
Wen Ning lowered his head and ate the noodles. This scene seemed familiar. He suddenly remembered that Fang Qing had made him a bowl of noodles before. Although that bowl of noodles was plain and the soup was clear, he still couldn't forget the happiness he felt at that moment. Wen Ning's ears were red, and he said while stirring the noodles: "I still think that the bowl of noodles you made for me that time was more delicious."
Thinking of the day when they got engaged, Fang Qing looked embarrassed. He lowered his head and ate the food in the bowl, then put a piece of meat into his mouth. "Eat quickly. Even food can't stop your mouth..."
Not long after, the school was closed for three days for New Year's Day. Wen Ning finally had some time to rest and prepared to take Fang Qing to see a movie. When they reached the school gate, the guard ran over to stop Wen Ning and said that there was a package for him.
"Young man, this is it. A driver brought it here and said it was for you."
Wen Ning is a celebrity in the school and usually has a good relationship with these people. Most of the security guards know him.
Wen Ning smiled and thanked him. After taking the package, he found that there was no delivery information on it. "Uncle Zhang, do you have any impression of the person who delivered the package?"
The security guard, Uncle Zhang, lit up his pipe and took another long puff. He couldn't see his features in the swirling smoke. "I've never seen him before, but he's dressed very elegantly. He looks like a driver for a wealthy family. His car is polished to a high shine. I don't recognize the brand, but it's obviously a good car!"
Wen Ning frowned slightly. He didn't know anyone like this in his social circle. He thanked the security guard, sent the box back to the dormitory, and told them not to move it. Then he took Fang Qing out to play.
In the evening, Wen Ning returned to the dormitory and looked at the box for a long time without saying a word. Finally, he got dressed, went downstairs to the school store and made a phone call.
The phone was picked up shortly after it rang. After hearing Wen Ning's voice, a sweet voice came from the receiver, "Teacher Wen, how come you have time to call me? I'm doing my homework and I'm not being lazy~"
Wen Ning held the microphone and turned sideways, looking at the street lamp in the distance. "You delivered the package, right? Thank you for your kindness, but your father has already paid my salary, so there is no need for the other things. I will send the things back another day."
There was silence on the other end of the microphone for a moment, and then the girl's bell-like laughter came over, "Teacher Wen, we are acquainted now, it's normal for students to give teachers holiday gifts, don't feel burdened, they are just some small things, just accept them~"
Wen Ning gritted his teeth and glanced at the time. It was almost a minute. He didn't want to say anything more, so he said goodbye and hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, a girl in silk pajamas held the receiver and heard the busy tone. Her pretty and gentle features darkened instantly. She glanced at the receiver and pulled the corners of her mouth in a half-smile, "What are you pretending for?"
Hanging up the phone, the girl glanced at the handwriting left by Wen Ning on the desk, and her cold smile instantly turned gentle. "I'm not in a hurry. We have plenty of time, Mr. Wen."
