Chapter 25: Saving Humanity
Chapter 25
It would have been fine if he hadn't read the note, but after reading the contents of the note, Wen Xi, who was eating with red ears, really had the illusion that he was a pig that was being raised to be fat and then eaten.
Wen Xi placed the pink sticky note board neatly together with the previous puppy sticky note. He couldn't help but think that Shanshuiju's own delivery guy should not be involved in packing, otherwise he would know who the piglet feed was for.
TT
Don't do that.
Wen Xi felt both warm and shy about this thoughtful lunch. She struggled for a long time and finally took a bite of the chicken leg fiercely. She couldn't help but complain in a low voice with red ears.
"Bad stuff with bad taste."
After dinner, Wen Xi and Wen Ran made a video call.
Wen Ran showed him the woolen bouquet she made in the handicraft class through the screen. The little girl, who looked like a white ball, held a large bunch of sunflowers and smiled at the camera, saying, "Ran Ran's treasures will all be given to brother."
"Brother, do you like Ranran's flowers?"
"Of course I like it," Wen Xi felt like his heart had turned into a pool of warm water, bubbling. "Ran Ran, why sunflowers?"
Wen Ran came close to the screen, the camera zoomed in, Wen Xi waited patiently for her, Wen Ran stared at him with sparkling eyes, as if it was a matter of course: "Because brother is the best brother in the world, sunflowers are also good flowers, so I have to give it to brother."
Wen Xi smiled with narrowed eyes, and made a head-butting gesture in the air: "Okay, next time I visit you, I will give you and Brother Su the flowers to show off. This is the flower that Ran Ran gives to the best brother in the world."
"Okay." The little girl agreed crisply at first, then paused and said hesitantly: "Will you cry if you don't have Brother Su and the others?"
"It's possible." Wen Xi teased her deliberately, "I'll tell you secretly that those brothers will cry."
The little girl frowned: "What should I do then?"
Wenxi: "Then Ranran should follow the teacher's instructions in the next craft class and make a few small gifts for them, okay?"
"Okay," Wen Ran nodded heavily and said seriously like a little adult: "I will study hard, and brother must also study hard and get a perfect score."
The brother and sister both had the same fox eyes, and they were smiling. Wen Xi raised his little finger and made a pinky promise with her: "I'll listen to you and get 100 points on the test."
The teacher next to her was urging Wen Ran to take a nap. The little girl looked reluctant, but she still said goodbye obediently and hung up the phone.
After the call ended, the Wenxi subway arrived at the station.
Although the weather was not very good today and it was drizzling, with the wind bringing raindrops that felt chilly on the skin, Wenxi's heart was warm.
It was a weekday and there was a drizzle, but the store's customer flow was still a little more than half of usual.
Wenxi's job today was to play various entertainment games in the booth, which required interacting with people. It was actually a rather stressful job, but he worked for eight hours straight and did not feel tired at all.
Wen Xi deeply agrees that this is the power of love and responsibility.
Before changing out of his bartender uniform, Wen Xi made a cheering gesture to himself in front of the mirror.
I must never give up, the best Ranran wants me to protect!

The next afternoon, Wenxi returned to school.
"Where are you?" Wen Xi had just come out of the elevator when Yan Hesu called. He looked at the artificial intelligence laboratory not far away and said, "I'm at the door."
So far, Wenxi has finished all his courses and submitted some reports. Many of his classmates have already gone home for the holidays. His roommates Chen Qiao and Ning Haoyu are staying in school to take the postgraduate entrance exams, and the local team of Yan Hesu and Wenxi has not finished the International College Student Artificial Intelligence Competition and has not left yet.
Wenxi has no home to return to, so he has stayed in school for three years, and this year is no exception.
The competition project of Wen Xi, his roommate Yan Hesu, who is also a student majoring in artificial intelligence, and Zhou Hengyu, the president of the student union of our school and a student majoring in energy and power engineering, was notified by the official competition committee today that it had been selected for the international finals.
When Wen Xi arrived at the laboratory, the other core members of the team were already in place. Wen Xi nodded and greeted everyone, then sat in the chair next to Yan Hesu and watched him debug the intelligent robot dog.
"I can't find you all day." Yan Hesu controlled the robot dog and shook hands with Wen Xi.
Wen Xi held the mechanical dog paw and said, "I worked until very late yesterday and I am delivering journals today. Of course you can't find me. After all, I am very busy."
Yan Hesu controlled the robot dog and nodded up and down: "Thank you, Wen Xi, who is studious and hardworking, for taking the time to discuss the overseas competition with us."
"Xiao Yan, you are good at being weird." Senior Wen Jing stood up for Wen Xi, "Don't bully our Wen Wen."
Wen Xi had someone to back him up, so he nodded and said, "That's right. Boys with sharp tongues may not find a partner."
Yan Hesu turned to look at him: "It's as if I've talked to you before."
"you--"
Wen Xi looked at his roommate's face, which was somewhat similar to Yan Jue, and some embarrassing memories popped up in his mind. How to put it, although Yan Jue also had a bit of the weirdness inherited from the Yan family, he and Yan Jue could not help flirting whenever they met. When Yan Jue flirted, his words were not malicious at all, but rather sweet and cute, which made people's hearts beat fast.
But how could he explain this to Yan Hesu? Wen Xi's ears turned red and she was at a loss for words. She finally retorted dryly, "Is it not okay for me to have more theoretical knowledge? Yan Hesu, don't look down on me."
Yan and Su sneered.
Wen Xi was hurt and sat aside sulking, thinking: I am just good-tempered and I am worried that your heart can't take it, so I told you that I want to have a relationship with your uncle, so I can scare you to death.
"You're so annoying."
Wen Xi imitated him and sneered in the same way, then ran to sit next to Wen Jing with her schoolbag.
Wen Jing looked at Wen Xi, who was looking very unyielding, and laughed out loud. He changed the subject and asked, "When is the final?"
"The finals are scheduled for ten days from now. We have to go early, so we have to leave in seven days. We will stay for a week, but the exact time depends on the actual situation."
A cold male voice came from behind. Wen Xi turned around and saw that it was Zhou Hengyu, the captain of the same team.
“Everyone can coordinate their schedules.”
"Okay, Brother Zhou." Wen Xi nodded. In fact, he was a little afraid to look Zhou Hengyu in the eye.
Because the other party's eyes were dark green, like the eyes of a wild wolf in the deep forest, and looked fierce. Although Yan Jue didn't look easy to mess with, compared to Zhou Hengyu, he was still willing to stay with Yan Jue, who liked to pretend to be a good dog and could disguise himself as a wolf.
"Do you have work to do?" Wen Jing thought for a moment and said, "I remember you were working part-time, Wen Xi?"
Yan and Su pulled a bench and sat on the side, interrupting: "Didn't you say you were going on a business trip?"
The senior student smiled and said, "Are you on a business trip? I thought you were working part-time."
The Niye Club will hold its anniversary the day after tomorrow. Before Wenxi got off work yesterday, the manager gathered everyone together and informed everyone that this year's anniversary celebration would not be held in the store. The club chartered a cruise ship for the celebration and also held an antique auction. Many wealthy celebrities and industry elites will attend, and the scale is extraordinary. Manager Zou selected a large number of good-looking and capable waiters from the club's main store to go on a short business trip on the cruise ship, and Wenxi was among the selected waiters.
The two-day and one-night cruise celebration had high field expenses, and it could also broaden one's horizons. It was a good job opportunity to travel the sea at public expense, so Wen Xi certainly agreed.
"It's actually a part-time job. We just need help from another store because our store is short of staff." Wen Xi didn't discuss the idea of working late at night with the team members and vaguely said, "I won't delay anything."
Seeing that Wen Xi did not clearly state the purpose of the business trip, the others tactfully stopped asking further questions.
"You go to work first." Wen Jing said gently, "I have taken care of everyone's visas and other matters."
The topic changed and everyone started to discuss the finals. There were many details about the finals, and the discussion lasted until 6pm.
"I haven't been to Country M yet. I'm going to have a good time when I go there this time." Wen Jing is a graduate student. She answered a phone call and came back smiling, "I'm going to have dinner with my partner, so I won't be with you guys."
"Yeah, bye Sister Wen Jing."
Wen Xi sat and chatted for more than four hours, feeling stiff, so he stood up and stretched his body.
The laboratory suddenly became quiet after the discussion ended, and the WeChat phone suddenly rang, which attracted a lot of attention.
The other two people looked over subconsciously. Wen Xi lowered his head and looked at the message notification from the contact [Yan Jue (Pig Head)] on the screen. The movement of rubbing his shoulders suddenly froze.
Wen Xi quickly raised his hanging left hand and swiped away the message on the lock screen. He caught a glimpse of Yan Hesu looking away and chatting with Zhou Hengyu. He breathed a sigh of relief without saying a word, then picked up his phone as if nothing had happened and opened WeChat.
[Y.]: Have you eaten?
[The stream becomes the sea]: No.
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: You got off work so early today. I thought it would be evening again.
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: Just finished the competition discussion and now I am preparing to go eat.
The banquet decision was announced quickly.
[Y.]: Do you want to eat together?
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, then looked down to see that Yan Jue had sent a new message.
[Y.]: I happened to pass by your school after get off work.
[Y.]: If you haven't eaten yet, let's go together.
During Yan Jue's business trip, Wen Xi learned that his company was the one that came to the campus for recruitment, Mineng Technology. This company was located in the south of Yunjia District in City A, and Yunjia University was in the north of the district, spanning the entire Yunjia District's way home from get off work.
What a coincidence.
[Y.]: If it’s inconvenient, forget it.
[Y.]: Even though it’s as regretful as your blackout after drinking, I understand.
This is not ordinary tea.
Wen Xi thought about how she pretended to be blackout-done and couldn't remember the dream she had. Although she knew that Yan Jue deliberately made Cha Cha's speech, she was still controlled by the bad man who "accidentally crossed the entire district and inadvertently revealed this news."
Wen Xi thought about it and typed a reply.
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: Although you secretly kissed me on the mouth the night before last, I am still willing to have dinner with you.
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: After all, I am very soft-hearted.
[The stream becomes the sea]: [Rose] [Rose] [Rose]
The dialog box said "the other party is typing" for a long time and was interrupted once. Finally, Yanjue sent a voice message.
Wen Xi almost opened the voice bar, but suddenly remembered that Yan and Su were right next to him. His fingertips missed the target and poked the back of his left hand, leaving a white mark.
He raised his eyelids to look at the two people opposite him, made sure no one was paying attention to him, turned the volume to mute, then took out the Bluetooth headphones from his schoolbag and put them on.
"drop--"
Bluetooth connection successful.
Amidst the sound of his roommate's voice, Yan Jue's deep and magnetic male voice reached Wen Xi's ears without any obstruction. He spoke slowly with a slight smile.
"Then, soft-hearted Wen Xi, can you have dinner with me?"
"If you want, can you set out for the north gate now to save me from starvation?"
Wen Xi was coaxed into a state of raised tail, while poor Yan Jue was played around in his hands.
[The stream becomes the sea]: The mission must be accomplished.
[Stream Becomes Sea]: [Serious Face]
He put his phone away, just as Yan and Su stretched and said, "Let's eat together tonight? I'll treat you to the Sichuan restaurant on Chaoyang North Street."
"Wenxi, are you going?
Wen Xi still had a smile on his face. He picked up his schoolbag and said to Yan and Su, "Well, I have something else to do. I won't eat with you. I'll leave first."
"What's the matter? Why are you running so fast?" Yan Hesu said casually.
"Save humanity."
Wen Xi walked so fast that before Yan and Su could react, he put on his schoolbag and trotted out like a gust of evening breeze.
Yan and Su were confused: "Ah, I didn't hear what he said clearly."
"Me neither," Zhou Hengyu paused, and suddenly asked, "Is he in a relationship?"
"Ah?" Yan and Su were stunned: "No way, Wenxi is like a superman every day, either working or studying, how can he have time for a relationship."
"Speaking of this, I actually don't know what his sexual orientation is. It's no wonder I'm curious. After all, there are so many homosexuals around me. Sister Wen is one, and so are you. I'm quite curious about this."
Yan Hesu added: "But apart from Chen Qiaohaozi and you, I haven't seen him get in touch with any other men, and we suggested that he try wearing a skirt, but he was rejected. I feel like Wenxi is a straight man."
"...I hope your feeling is correct." Zhou Hengyu said insincerely, stood up and walked out with his schoolbag on his back, "You can eat the Sichuan food by yourself, my partner is looking for me."
Yan Hesu, who hadn't found a partner during the window period, and even failed to find a partner online, couldn't help rolling his eyes: "...I didn't mess with any of you."
