Shen Xiaoxiao felt Dai Xingyu's enthusiasm, and her initial nervousness gradually eased. She smiled.
"I've heard about you before. Xingyun often mentions you to me, saying you're incredibly cute. But seeing you today, I find you're even cuter than he described!"
Dai Xingyu was a little embarrassed by Shen Xiaoxiao's praise. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she called out coquettishly, "Sister-in-law!"
Seeing his younger sister and Shen Xiaoxiao getting along so well, Dai Xingyun felt incredibly happy.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and softly reminded, "Alright, let's not just stand at the door. Let's go inside and sit down, and we can talk slowly once we're inside."
"Oh right! Sister-in-law, look at my memory, I almost forgot. I came out to check if you'd arrived yet, Mom and Dad are all waiting inside." Dai Xingyu slapped her forehead as if waking from a dream and quickly said.
The three of them walked toward the hall, chatting and laughing.
A warm and harmonious atmosphere was spreading over Shen Xiaoxiao's side.
At Kyoto Station, Xu Wenhua dropped Chen Mengmeng off at her destination. Looking at her expressionlessly, he said, "Alright, we're here. Get off the train."
However, just as Xu Wenhua turned to leave, he suddenly heard an angry shout from behind: "Xu Wenhua, you stop right there!"
Xu Wenhua stopped in his tracks, his mind filled with doubt.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Chen Mengmeng, who had a face full of anger and was staring intently at him.
Chen Mengmeng's anger surged even more the moment she saw Xu Wenhua, but when she noticed the passersby around her, she forcibly suppressed her emotions that were about to erupt.
She gritted her teeth, clutching her small bag tightly, and silently followed Xu Wenhua off the train.
Chen Mengmeng remained silent throughout the journey, her silence creating a sense of oppression.
Although Xu Wenhua noticed her unusual behavior, he didn't know how to break the deadlock, so he could only keep his distance and walk silently.
Finally, they arrived at Kyoto University.
However, Chen Mengmeng's anger did not dissipate upon reaching her destination; she remained expressionless and silent.
"System, tell me what's going on?" Chen Mengmeng said indignantly to the system in her heart, "I've been good enough to him, haven't I? I've been so patient, but why won't he marry me?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the anger in her heart was ignited and burned fiercely.
She felt that all her efforts and sacrifices had been in vain, without any reward.
She finally got into university this time, and she thought that Xu Wenhua would change his opinion of her and pay more attention to her because of this.
But that wasn't the case; he remained as indifferent to her as ever, treating her like a stranger.
Just then, the system's cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in her ears: "The system suggests that the host be patient."
Chen Mengmeng's anger instantly reached its peak. She glared at the system with wide eyes and roared, "You always say the same thing, but you never actually help at all!"
She felt that the system's response was simply perfunctory and completely disregarded her feelings and situation.
Just then, Xu Wenhua looked at Chen Mengmeng, who was walking ahead without turning her head, and said, "Comrade Chen, now that we've arrived at the school, I'll be going now."
Upon hearing his words, Chen Mengmeng suddenly turned around and pulled Xu Wenhua to a secluded spot.
"Xu Wenhua, what exactly do you mean? For so many years, I have been silently following by your side. Don't you understand my feelings at all?" Chen Mengmeng's voice trembled, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
Looking at Chen Mengmeng's tearful appearance, Xu Wenhua felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if a million ants were gnawing at his heart.
He tried hard to control himself and not let his inner emotions show, but the impulse was like a surging wave, constantly assaulting his reason.
"Why is this happening? Every time Chen Mengmeng encounters something, I become completely unlike myself." Xu Wenhua asked himself silently. He really couldn't understand what kind of feelings he had for Chen Mengmeng.
He took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice calm, and said, "Comrade Chen, I've completed my task of taking you to school at your father's request. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now." Without even glancing at Chen Mengmeng, he turned to leave.
Seeing this, Chen Mengmeng's despair intensified.
Unwilling to give up so easily, she quickly walked up to Xu Wenhua, blocked his way, stared at him with tearful eyes, and asked, "Xu Wenhua, don't you really know how I feel about you?"
Xu Wenhua remained silent, then, as if giving in, said, "I'll take you to your dorm."
Chen Mengmeng pushed Xu Wenhua away forcefully, her eyes brimming with tears, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "I don't need you to see me off! Why are you doing this to me? You clearly promised me that as long as I went home and broke off the engagement, you would marry me!"
Chen Mengmeng's tears flowed down her cheeks like a burst dam.
Her body trembled slightly from excessive grief.
She continued, sobbing, "But what about you? You've been off the engagement for so long, yet you've never thought of marrying me, and you've even been deliberately avoiding me!"
Xu Wenhua felt a sharp pain in his heart as he looked at the heartbroken Chen Mengmeng.
He quickly pulled Chen Mengmeng into a tight embrace and gently comforted her, "Mengmeng, don't cry, it's all my fault, it's my fault..."
However, Xu Wenhua was interrupted by Chen Mengmeng before he could finish speaking.
Chen Mengmeng broke free from Xu Wenhua's embrace, crying and shouting in despair, "Since you don't like me, I'm not the kind of person who clings to you! I'll promise my dad right now that I'll go on a blind date with Grandpa Yu's grandson in Kyoto and get married as soon as possible, so I won't be an eyesore to you anymore!"
Upon hearing Chen Mengmeng's words, Xu Wenhua's heart tightened. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, as if this could alleviate some of his inner pain.
His voice was low as he said, "I won't allow it!"
Seeing this, Chen Mengmeng deliberately looked at Xu Wenhua provocatively, "Who are you to me? Why do you say I can't be with other people?"
Xu Wenhua's mind seemed to suddenly lose control; he could no longer bear Chen Mengmeng's resolute words.
