Xia Xi was shivering with cold, and for a moment, she thought winter had come early.
Suddenly, a car came from the opposite direction and stopped at the curb about four or five meters away from her, flashing its hazard lights. Seeing that she didn't react, the people in the car honked their horn.
The rain was pouring down so heavily, and there happened to be a street lamp next to the car. The light and shadow overlapped with the rain curtain. Xia Xi leaned forward and stretched his neck but couldn't see who was sitting in the driver's seat.
In the car, Xu Yanfeng frowned impatiently and ordered Chen Mian beside him: "Get out of the car and pick them up."
"Oh yes, it's raining so hard, your clothes must be wet if you walk here, you are really thoughtful." Chen Mian took action after realizing it, and took a large black umbrella from the back seat. He pushed open the car door with one hand and opened the umbrella. Just as he was about to step out of the car, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Xu Yanfeng, "Why don't you go downstairs to pick them up?"
Xu Yanfeng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "Hurry up."
Chen Mian got out of the car, closed the door, and ran towards Xia Xi with an umbrella.
Xia Xi looked at the person who came and seemed a little familiar. She thought about it and realized that it was Xu Yanfeng's...
Just as the word "roommate" came to mind, the other party introduced himself: "Xia Xi, I'm Xu Yanfeng's roommate Chen Mian. We happened to be having dinner nearby tonight. I saw you taking shelter from the rain here, so I thought I'd give you a ride back to school."
Xia Xi tilted his head and looked at the car behind him. Is this Xu Yanfeng's car?
Chen Mian clearly saw that when the three words "Xu Yanfeng" were mentioned, the girl's eyes lit up more than one degree, and the joy on her face was also obvious, which showed that she really liked that person.
"Let's go." Chen Mian tilted his head.
Xia Xi took a few steps forward and hid under his umbrella, raising the corners of her mouth: "Thank you."
The raindrops hit the umbrella, making a messy sound, just like Xia Xi's heartbeat at the moment, chaotic, not nervous, but excited.
If she had known that she would meet Xu Yanfeng by chance and ride in his car on this trip, she would not have scolded Zhou Xiaoyu behind her back. She should be grateful for Zhou Xiaoyu's arrangement.
Chen Mian tilted his umbrella, trying his best to take care of the girl, and escorted her all the way to the car. Then, an idea suddenly struck him, and he said to Xia Xi, "You take the passenger seat. It's not appropriate for a girl to squeeze with two grown men. I'll sit in the back."
Xia Xi was just wondering how to ask for the passenger seat, but she didn't expect this senior named Chen Mian to be so considerate. She was immediately overjoyed and wanted to give him a "Good Man Award": "Thank you, thank you."
She opened the car door and stole a glance at Xu Yanfeng, who sat calmly in the driver's seat. The corners of her mouth curled up, and even the corners of her eyes fluttered. She climbed in, sat down, closed the car door, and started teasing him: "So you care about me so much, Senior Xu. How can I thank you? Otherwise, I will marry you!"
Xu Yanfeng's forehead twitched. What did he say? He knew that good intentions would not be rewarded.
Chen Mian, who was standing outside the car, was so shocked that his hands shook and he almost dropped his umbrella. Oh my God, I had only heard that my schoolmate Xia Xi was fierce before, but seeing is believing!
Chen Mian sat in the back seat, squeezed the other two in, and turned sideways to fold the wet umbrella.
The windshield wipers swept back and forth, and the rain fell continuously. Just as it was wiped clean, the glass was soon hazy again. Xu Yanfeng started the car, turned around, and drove very slowly.
"You shouldn't thank me. You should thank Chen Mian." Xu Yanfeng put himself aside. "It was he who saw you, and it was he who asked to take you with him."
Xia Xi held onto the back of the car seat with one hand and turned back to Chen Mian who was standing behind him and said, "Thank you, Senior Chen. I'll treat you to dinner later."
No one knows how hard it was for Fang Huaiyuan and Yu Tingbo to hold back their laughter.
This school girl is really interesting. Her way of thanking Xu Yanfeng is to marry him, but when the object of her gratitude becomes Chen Mian, she treats him to a meal... This difference in treatment is hilarious just thinking about it.
Chen Mian had no other thoughts: "You're welcome. No need. I'm just happy to help others."
Xia Xi pondered for a moment and said, "I think your tone is very similar to that of an enthusiastic senior I met recently on Tieba who does good deeds anonymously."
In his excitement, Chen Mian almost admitted that he must be the "enthusiastic senior who does good things without leaving his name" she mentioned, but reason overcame impulse. Xu Yanfeng was still here, and if he knew that he had betrayed him, he would be in trouble.
"Ahem, there are still many enthusiastic seniors in this world." Chen Mian said seriously.
Xia Xi turned around and sat down. Her eyes seemed to have been washed by water, bright and moist. There was no seductive charm in them, only pure and full love. She stared at Xu Yanfeng eagerly.
"Anyway, you're the one driving the car and you've done the hard work, so I should still thank you. I see you don't need anything except a girlfriend. Look at how I..."
After the previous experiences, Xu Yanfeng had already formed a conditioned reflex towards Xia Xi. As soon as she spoke, he knew it was not a good word and immediately stopped her: "If you keep talking nonsense, get off the car."
"I don't."
Xia Xi clutched the seatbelt tightly with both hands. She was already in the car, so how could she be forced out? Of course not! Besides, was she talking nonsense? It was clearly all from her heart.
Chen Mian spoke up to ease the atmosphere: "Hey, Xia Xi, what are you doing here alone?"
"Complete the task assigned by the minister," Xia Xi said, "and help raise sponsorship for the debate competition held by our school."
"Did you pull it?"
"Well, eight stores have agreed, and I've filled out the forms."
Chen Mian suspected he had misheard: "How many?"
Xia Xi didn't understand why he was so surprised: "Eight. I was a bit rushed today, and I didn't have time to talk to some of the stores. I'll come back and ask them tomorrow after class."
