Chapter 272: Being a Guest
The next morning, Li Wenxi and Hao Sanmei took a taxi to Chen Zhiyan's house.
Chen Zhiyan's family lived in a small villa in the suburbs, with green lawns in front and back, surrounded by neatly trimmed bushes and beautiful flower beds. The sun shone on the lawn, making the small villa look particularly warm and comfortable.
When they arrived, Li Wenxi saw Chen Zhiyan and his girlfriend Shen Meiying standing at the door to greet them.
Shen Meiying looked gentle and soft, wearing a simple long dress, and her smile was as warm and natural as the flowers around the villa.
When she saw Li Wenxi and Hao Sanmei, she immediately came forward and gave them a warm hug, which caught Li Wenxi and Hao Sanmei off guard.
"You must be Xiaoxi." Shen Meiying's voice was soft and her smile was sincere. "You are as beautiful as in the photo." She took Li Wenxi's hand affectionately, and there was no hostility in her smile. "Chen Zhiyan often mentioned you. I am very happy to meet you today. I really want to meet someone who is very important to him."
Li Wenxi was infected by her friendliness and sincerity, and the embarrassment in her heart was immediately resolved. She also smiled and said, "I am very happy to see you today."
Shen Meiying turned her head and smiled at Chen Zhiyan, with a happy expression on her face, and whispered, "I know he has a very good ex-girlfriend, which shows that Zhiyan has always had a good vision." As
soon as Shen Meiying's words came out, everyone laughed.
Shen Meiying held Li Wenxi's hand tightly, "Everyone, come in quickly. Zhiyan has been saying that you guys are coming today, and I've been busy for a while."
The house is decorated simply and warmly, and there are many beautiful paintings hanging on the walls, all painted by Shen Meiying herself. She is a student majoring in fine arts, and her painting style is soft and warm, full of natural aura. Shen Meiying enthusiastically took Li Wenxi and Hao Sanmei to visit her studio, which was filled with her works and oil paintings that she was currently creating.
"Your paintings are really beautiful." Li Wenxi looked at the paintings and couldn't help but admire, "You arranged this place like a small gallery."
"Thank you. These are some of my small works." Shen Meiying smiled and said, "I like painting very much. It makes me relax and allows me to express my emotions in another way."
Hao Sanmei also nodded repeatedly, "You are really talented in art. These paintings make people feel comfortable."
Shen Meiying was a little embarrassed by the two people's praise, but her smile became warmer. She then said, "In fact, the process of painting is a bit like your academic research. It requires concentration and persistence."
The two girls got along very easily with Shen Meiying. Her gentleness and sincerity easily let people let down their guard. Whether it was her conversation or her passion for painting, Li Wenxi and Hao Sanmei liked her.
Afterwards, Chen Zhiyan took Li Wenxi to visit his study, and the two talked about mathematical research and discussed each other's research directions. Li Wenxi was quickly attracted by Chen Zhiyan's mathematical data. The two couldn't help but pick up a pen and draw various formulas and models on the whiteboard, completely immersed in the discussion.
Shen Meiying watched their discussion without any dissatisfaction. Instead, she chatted with Hao Sanmei naturally and helped to make coffee. She smiled and said to Hao Sanmei: "Every time Zhiyan talks about mathematics, he will be particularly involved. I have seen such scenes many times and have long been accustomed to it. No wonder they are each other's first love."
After hearing this, Hao Sanmei's affection for Shen Meiying deepened, and she couldn't help but sigh that Chen Zhiyan was so lucky.
Hao Sanmei and Shen Meiying continued to chat on the side, and slowly talked about the love story of Shen Meiying and Chen Zhiyan. Shen Meiying, with a gentle smile on her face, told the stories of her and Chen Zhiyan.
It turned out that Chen Zhiyan and Shen Meiying were from aristocratic families, and Chen Zhiyan stayed at the Shen family when he first arrived in Country M. Shen's parents asked Shen Meiying to take Chen Zhiyan to get familiar with life in Country M. Shen Meiying was considerate and naturally tried her best to help Chen Zhiyan and help him adapt to the new environment.
"At first Zhiyan especially missed Xiaoxi, with whom he had just broken up." Shen Meiying said this, and looked at Li Wenxi with a smile, "At that time, he looked at Xiaoxi's photo every day, and felt very sad. I thought maybe I could do something, so I painted a portrait of Xiaoxi for him as a commemoration."
After hearing this, Hao Sanmei looked at Shen Meiying in surprise, "You are really thoughtful."
Shen Meiying smiled and shook her head, "I didn't think much about it at that time, I just felt that he needed some comfort."
"What happened later?" Hao Sanmei asked curiously.
"Later," Shen Meiying recalled with a smile, "as time went by, Zhiyan slowly immersed himself in new studies and life. Zhiyan also liked art very much, and we often discussed music, painting, and sculpture together. We had many similar interests and hobbies. From mutual understanding and support, to slowly getting closer to each other. Later, he took the initiative to confess to me, and both families particularly supported us being together, and that's how we came to this day naturally."
Hao Sanmei listened with great interest and smiled, "Then you two are really a match made in heaven."
Shen Meiying smiled and nodded, her eyes full of love for Chen Zhiyan.
Later, when Chen Zhiyan and Li Wenxi finished chatting, Shen Meiying took Hao Sanmei and Li Wenxi to a room next door, opened the door, and there was a small studio inside. She took out a painting.
The painting showed a young girl, full of youth, tenacity and confidence. Shen Meiying handed the painting to Li Wenxi with a smile: "This is the painting I made of you. Zhiyan has been hanging it in his room. I think your confidence and tenacity are particularly charming, so I want to capture it with my brush."
After listening to Hao Sanmei's story, Li Wenxi looked at the painting and was stunned for a moment. She recognized herself in the painting. It was her 18 years old. She didn't expect that there was such a past between Chen Zhiyan and Shen Meiying, and this painting actually recorded her best years.
"Really... very beautiful." Li Wenxi couldn't help but sigh softly. She also liked the portrait of herself painted by Shen Meiying.
Hao Sanmei also sighed beside her: "Shen Meiying, you are really amazing. Not only is your painting good, but you are also a good person. If it were someone else, they would have been jealous and couldn't stand it."
Shen Meiying just smiled softly and said softly: "Emotional matters cannot be forced. What is important is understanding and support."
On the way back, Hao Sanmei was still sighing that Chen Zhiyan was so lucky.
Li Wenxi also nodded in agreement, "Meiying is more suitable for Chen Zhiyan than me. Look at how happy Chen Zhiyan is now." She could guess that Shen Meiying was the future wife arranged by the Chen family for Chen Zhiyan. But now it seems that this was discussed by the two parents, but Shen Meiying and Chen Zhiyan themselves did not know, but just created a condition for them to come together naturally.
So she also sighed that Chen Zhiyan was so lucky to meet Shen Meiying. A pure and beautiful person like him should have such good luck and happiness.
Hao Sanmei held Li Wenxi's hand: "Xiaoxi, Han Yi is so lucky."
Li Wenxi laughed: "Are you comforting me? I will only be happy for Chen Zhiyan and Shen Meiying."
"No, I'm not trying to comfort you. I just think that you and Chen Zhiyan both found someone you love after breaking up, and this feeling is really touching."
Li Wenxi nodded, thought for a moment and smiled, "But I think Han Yi and I are lucky to have met Han Yi."
Hao Sanmei pointed at her and smiled, "Look at you all, put away your happy faces, otherwise I'll want to find someone."
"Then it seems I should talk more. Change your mind." Li Wenxi smiled.
