While walking on the campus, Lin Yitang asked: "When is your parent-teacher conference next Monday?"
Wen Hangxing didn't expect that she still remembered this, so he said: "Probably in the morning." After saying that, he felt a little nervous, wondering if she would come?
However, he concealed it very well, and Lin Yitang didn't notice it. She asked, "Who usually attends your parent-teacher conferences?"
From what she had seen Wen Zeli and Wen Hangxing doing together at home over the past few days, it seemed like the father and son were just bored with each other and didn't bother each other. She had a hunch that the workaholic who loved his job wouldn't put his own work aside to attend a meeting.
Sure enough, the next second, Wen Hang said, "Assistant Li is here."
Lin Yitang understood: "Oh~" and then there was no further words.
Wen Hangxing: “???” Just tell me whether you are coming or not. I am feeling very uncomfortable being kept hanging like this.
Lin Yitang paused, suddenly looked in one direction for a while, and then walked over.
When Wen Hangxing saw the direction she was walking towards, he was shocked for a moment and quickly stood in front of Lin Yitang, "What's so good about this? Go back."
Lin Yitang looked at Wen Hangxing's slightly panicked expression suspiciously, and felt that he had to take a closer look. "Get out of the way, don't block the way."
Wen Hangxing didn't move and continued to persuade: "Forget it, Ms. Lin, it would be rude if you don't go home."
Lin Yitang sneered on his cold face, "It would be rude if you don't move aside."
Seeing Wen Hangxing still standing in front of him, Lin Yitang lost his patience and turned his head to shout at Jiang Sui who was standing behind him: "Xiao Sui, drag me away."
Jiang Sui had been feeling a little lost watching Lin Yitong and Wen Hangxing chatting with each other in such a harmonious way. At this moment, he was standing not far from the two of them and was called unexpectedly. Jiang Sui hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and held Wen Hangxing back under his surprised gaze.
Although Wen Hangxing was stronger than Jiang Sui, he couldn't break free for a while, which gave Lin Yitong an opportunity.
As soon as she saw the content, she knew why Wen Hangxing wanted him to leave. Because this was their exam ranking.
Lin Yitang looked down, row by row, and was surprised to find Wen Hangxing's name lying in the lower corner on the far right, with only two or three people below.
Lin Yitang felt that it was completely unreasonable. She shifted her gaze to Wen Hangxing, which made Wen Hangxing feel creepy.
Since she had already seen it, Wen Hangxing withdrew his hand that was retaliatingly pulling Jiang Sui's hair and smiled innocently, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yitang said solemnly: "I think the only reason you can be friends with Jiang Sui and Yan Junqi is because they don't look down on you."
Wen Hangxing's feigned goodwill almost gave way, and he bared his white teeth, "Why?"
Lin Yitang replied, "Jiang Sui is first in the grade, and Yan Junqi, who usually looks so careless, is also ranked third. You..." Lin Yitang glanced at him incomprehensibly and said, "How did you become fourth from the bottom? I think you can still compare with them if you are second from the bottom."
Wen Hangxing: “…” What number does it match? One, two, three?
Lin Yitang looked at Jiang Sui again, and touched his hair, which was messed up by Wen Hangxing. She stepped forward and carefully smoothed it for him, her eyebrows curved like a crescent moon emitting clear light. "You did well in the exam. Keep it up."
Jiang Sui stared at her blankly without reacting at first. Suddenly, his nose felt a little sore. He lowered his head and replied muffledly, "Hmm."
Wen Hangxing looked at this scene and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey, hey, that's a bit too much, I'm also in a mess, why don't you come and help me clean it up?"
Lin Yitang looked at Wen Hangxing, whose clothes were wrinkled but everything else looked normal, and shook her head, ignoring him.
Wen Hangxing stared at her in exasperation, unable to do anything but twitch his feet. He certainly didn't act so cold and distant in front of others. If anyone else saw him, they'd probably be so surprised their eyes would pop out of their heads.
Lin Yitang said to Jiang Sui: "Let's go."
Jiang Sui replied: "Okay." Before leaving, he glanced at Wen Hangxing behind him and happened to find that Wen Hangxing was looking at him. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Jiang Sui was the first to shift his gaze.
Lin Yitang got in the car and looked at Jiang Sui who was still standing outside. "Where is your home? Come in and we'll give you a ride."
Jiang Sui's eyes dimmed, but he still looked up and smiled: "It's okay, Aunt Lin. I can go back by myself."
"Go ahead." Wen Hangxing, who was standing behind Jiang Hou, suddenly spoke.
Jiang Sui clenched his hands, still craving for that bit of warmth, and got into the car.
Wen Hangxing got in and the car started slowly. This car was a stretched Lincoln with a small living room-style back seat.
Lin Yitang sat in the middle, with Wen Hangxing and Jiang Sui sitting on the sofas on the left and right sides respectively.
Lin Yitang said casually: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, I really want to eat zongzi."
Wen Hangxing looked at her greedy expression and asked, "You can ask Aunt Wang to make it anytime! I don't have to eat it during the Dragon Boat Festival."
In response to Wen Hangxing's statement, Lin Yitang refuted: "That won't work. If we can eat it on ordinary days, then the special meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival will not be so special."
Wen Hangxing listened to her twisted logic. Although he couldn't understand it, he still remembered the truth of not provoking Ms. Lin and said nothing more.
Lin Yitang then pulled Jiang Sui aside and praised him, "Little Sui is really smart. Isn't he always number one?"
Jiang Sui replied shyly, "That should be the case. I'm just lucky."
Lin Yitang's eyes were calm. "That's not the case. Talent, hard work, and self-discipline are all indispensable. You're already amazing."
Jiang Sui looked at her, a little distracted. He suddenly thought, if his mother were still alive, would she also look at him so tenderly and say to him, you are already very great.
The car stopped.
Lin Yitang stared at the apartment in front of him for a moment, then stopped Jiang Sui, who was about to get out of the car, and asked, "Do you live alone?"
Jiang Sui murmured in response, thinking meanly in his heart that, with her personality, she should let him stay. But then he remembered Wen Hangxing's distant gaze when they looked at each other just now, and Jiang Sui clenched his hands.
"Will you go home tomorrow?" asked the quiet voice.
Jiang Sui finally raised his head and looked at her, and replied: "Aunt Lin, I have always lived alone."
Wen Hangxing, who had been sitting motionless in his seat, suddenly sneered with an ambiguous tone, his expression cold and mocking.
Lin Yitang said, "Then why don't you come stay at our house for a few days." Fearing he would refuse, she added, "It's the holidays, it's not fun to be alone."
Jiang Sui's face turned pale, and his fingers curled up. After a long moment, a voice came from the quiet back seat, "Okay."
Jiang Sui sat down and felt extremely disgusted with himself. He felt despicable, uneasy, and calculating. Jiang Sui's heart was filled with apologies to Wen Hangxing, but it was undeniable that he also felt secretly happy and satisfied that his goal had been achieved.
