Chapter 229 A Conspicuous Landscape
Wu Yuhong's expression was firm. "Yes, I definitely will."
Her gratitude towards Shen Xuewei could not be expressed in just a few words.
The events of the past two days feel like a dream, leaving her in a daze, afraid that she will wake up from the dream.
Although Wu Yuhong successfully enrolled, she missed some classes and some content compared to other students.
She wanted to talk to Shen Xuewei again, but Shen Xuewei told her to go back to school immediately.
The two didn't go to school on the same route, so they walked a little further before parting ways.
Shen Xuewei is now rich and has started to spend money more lavishly.
Seeing the tricycles waiting to be full before leaving, she decisively hailed a motorcycle and spent six yuan to get to school.
The school food was really terrible, so Shen Xuewei bought lactose-free milk powder, goat milk powder, and other convenient and nutritious items over the weekend and brought them back to school.
I make myself some every morning and evening.
As the class monitor and the subject representative, she was a frequent visitor to the teacher's office.
I'm quite familiar with the teachers in the office, so getting water from the office isn't a hassle.
Shen Xuewei gradually adapted to high school life.
Because of the unreliable water outages in the dormitory, the group of people in the dormitory have a habit of filling a bucket with water and placing it in the corner after taking a shower every day.
Wu Yuhong's matter had been resolved, so when the school holiday came again, the Chen family did not take precautions against Shen Xuewei's return.
With nothing to do, Chen Fangyang found out that Shen Xuewei was on holiday this week, so he drove up early and waited outside the school gate.
As soon as the school bell rang, a huge wave of students rushed out of the school.
Chen Fangyang leaned against the car, her hair meticulously styled, dressed in a casual and artistic style, becoming a striking sight at the school gate.
A girl walking past him in a group couldn't help but glance at him, then tugged at her companion's sleeve and whispered in surprise:
"Look, look! There's a guy over there, so handsome!"
Chen Fangyang was genuinely flattered by the girl's compliment on his beauty. He flicked his bangs in a flamboyant manner, raised his hand, and smiled at the girl.
When Shen Xuewei came out of the school, she saw Chen Fangyang and, like a peacock, kept greeting the students who were passing by.
She paused, then turned around, intending to go back to school to hide.
As Chen Fangyang greeted everyone, his eyes were particularly sharp, and he spotted Shen Xuewei at a glance.
"Hey, Weiwei, I'm here. Where are you going?"
With his shout, everyone's eyes at the school gate focused on Shen Xuewei, making her feel what it meant to be the center of attention.
This felt different from when she spoke on the podium as a student representative.
At that moment, Shen Xuewei felt her scalp tingling.
She steeled herself and walked over to Chen Fangyang, opening the car door and urging him to get in in a low voice.
"Alright, Second Uncle, get in the car now."
Chen Fangyang remained calm and said, "What's the rush? I haven't finished greeting you yet."
Huang Huiling, always eager to join in the fun, jumped out and asked, "Weiwei, your family has come to pick you up? Who is this?"
Before Shen Xuewei could speak, Chen Fangyang, seeing that he recognized Shen Xuewei and was calling her "Weiwei," smiled and interjected:
"I'm Weiwei's second uncle. Classmate, do you know my Weiwei?"
The girls who were with Huang Huiling nodded in unison, "Yes, we all know Shen...Weiwei. We're in the same class as her. Weiwei, right?"
Shen Xuewei forced a smile and returned the compliment.
Chen Fangyang's attitude improved even more, "We're all classmates, that's great. My Weiwei started school early and is still young, this is the first time she's been so far from home. If it's convenient for you, could you please take good care of her for me..."
With such a handsome guy standing right in front of them, the girls nodded vigorously again.
Chen Fangyang was about to offer to take them to the county to catch a bus, but seeing that there were several of them, he figured the bus wouldn't be big enough, so he didn't bring it up.
He wanted to say a few more words to Huang Huiling and the others, but at that moment Shen Xuewei reached out from the car and quietly pinched his arm.
A voice filled with gritted teeth rang out: "Second Uncle, it's time to head home."
Chen Fangyang was in so much pain that he instinctively wanted to howl, but in order to maintain his dashing demeanor, he swallowed it back.
He smiled at the others and gracefully got into the car.
After getting on the bus, he immediately covered his arm and rubbed it to relieve the pain.
"Xiao Weiwei, why are you pinching me? I came to pick you up out of kindness, and I even dressed up specially so you could look good at school..."
Shen Xuewei sighed, "Second Uncle, I don't care about saving face. Besides, I know the way and can get home by myself."
Chen Fangyang was displeased that his good intentions had been trampled on by Shen Xuewei.
"Well, it's only been a short time since we last met, and this is how you treat your second uncle? Have you forgotten all those years when I took care of you, changing your diapers and cleaning up after you..."
That time she was sick, I stayed by her side for several hours. Is that what you call taking care of her poop and pee?
Shen Xuewei's forehead veins bulged. "Second Uncle, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll never talk to you again."
Chen Fangyang controlled himself perfectly, glanced at Shen Xuewei's expression, and immediately stopped her performance.
"Okay, if you don't like listening, then I won't say anything more. Let's go home."
The car started and drove along the road paved with pebbles.
Shen Xuewei opened the window to let in the fresh air.
After feeling a little better, she glanced at Chen Fangyang, who had a sullen face and looked unhappy, and took the initiative to apologize, giving him a way out.
"Okay, I'm sorry. Second Uncle, it was my fault, I was heartless."
"By the way, Second Uncle, what brings you here?"
Chen Fangyang's expression softened. "I just happened to be meeting up with some friends in the county, and I came to pick you up to go home."
Shen Xuewei wasn't feeling carsick at the moment, so she started chatting with him about everyday things.
"Second Uncle, I remember Brother Xiannan is in his senior year of high school, right? He hasn't been to Xiaoli Village for quite some time now."
"Yes, he's a senior in high school now. Besides attending classes, he also has to participate in various competitions, a whole bunch of other things. He's usually quite tired, and when he has a rare holiday, he just stays at home and doesn't want to go anywhere."
"I still have to stay with him and take him to and from school. I'll be spending two days at home with your grandparents this week, and I'll be going back on Sunday. I probably won't be back until Chinese New Year..."
...
The two talked as they walked, but before they knew it, Shen Xuewei's voice lowered and she gradually stopped responding.
Chen Fangyang glanced at Shen Xuewei, who was sleeping in the passenger seat, and turned down the volume of the melodious music in the car.
After returning to Xiaoli Village, Chen Fangyang woke up Shen Xuewei and got off the bus.
When the two returned, the house became lively during dinner.
Grandma Chen's health has been deteriorating, and she has rarely been able to get out of bed lately.
More often than not, she would sit at the doorway, gazing absently at the passing cars, lost in thought, seemingly not knowing what she was thinking.
After dinner, the family sat in the living room talking, with the background noise of the TV playing in the background.
Granny Chen looked at Shen Xuewei with her cloudy eyes, then got up shakily and went back to her room.
A little while later, she came out with some small bread rolls and milk candies and put them in Shen Xuewei's arms.
"Weiwei, eat."
