Chapter 448 Wen Zhixia x Shen Jiachen (Twenty)
Wen Zhixia was actually not very busy. Business was sporadic today and it was a rare moment of leisure.
At exactly nine o'clock, Shen Jiachen pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked in.
Wen Zhixia was not surprised to see him. Shen Jiachen would come over almost every now and then, order a cup of chocolate or a dessert, and then sit quietly in the corner.
I really love sweets.
Shen Jiachen walked to the counter with a smile. The two of them were actually much more familiar with each other than at the beginning.
Wen Zhixia asked, "It's so late, what would you like to order?"
"No." Shen Jiachen said, "I was passing by and saw that the store was not busy, so I came over to talk to you."
Wen Zhixia hummed and pulled her mask down to her chin.
Shen Jiachen looked at her face: "You don't look very well today, did you not sleep well?"
"I went to the hospital with my roommate last night, so I just need to get some rest tonight." Wen Zhixia thought about it and explained, "I fell asleep when I got back to the dormitory at noon. I didn't mean to not reply to you."
"I thought..." Shen Jiachen pursed his lips slightly.
Wen Zhixia looked at him, but Shen Jiachen didn't continue. He changed the subject: "So are your roommates better?"
Wen Zhixia nodded: "Better now."
Just then a customer came in, and Wen Zhixia pulled the mask back on neatly.
Shen Jiachen stood aside and watched Wen Zhixia take orders for customers. When she faced the customers, her eyes were crooked. Although the mask covered most of her face, her gentle aura could still be felt.
Shen Jiachen found himself unable to take his eyes away.
He pursed his lips, but now he and Wen Zhixia were only in the acquaintance stage, was there any way to make them get to know each other better?
Shen Jiachen was in a dilemma. He had no experience in chatting up girls, and he was afraid of scaring Wen Zhixia if he was too direct.
Just as he was struggling, a glass of warm water was pushed in front of him.
Shen Jiachen raised his head. Wen Zhixia had already pulled down her mask again. Her eyes were still smiling, and the corners of her mouth were raised a lot: "Drink some water."
"Thank you." Shen Jiachen came back to his senses, and Wen Zhixia kept smiling and replied, "You're welcome."
After saying that, he stood back. Shen Jiachen thought for a moment, then walked over holding the cup. He asked, "Do you live in Yunguan?"
Yunguan is the name of the community where Shen Jiachen lives.
Wen Zhixia shook her head: "No, why would you ask that?"
"The last time I saw you, I thought you lived there too." Shen Jiachen took a sip of the warm water in the cup.
Wen Zhixia was a little confused: "Didn't I deliver a cake last time?"
Why does Shen Jiachen speak so strangely?
Shen Jiachen shook his head: "We met once before."
Wen Zhixia tried hard to recall, but still couldn't figure out when she had met Shen Jiachen in Yunguan.
Seeing that she looked a little confused, Shen Jiachen guessed that she had forgotten.
He reminded: "Over there on the rockery."
rockery?
Wen Zhixia thought about it carefully and finally found a clue in some corner.
She asked hesitantly, "Are you the man who fell that day?"
Shen Jiachen finally showed a relieved expression on his face, and he seemed quite happy that she could remember it.
Wen Zhixia really didn't expect this. She said, "What a coincidence."
In fact, if Shen Jiachen hadn't hinted at this matter, she wouldn't have even remembered it.
Shen Jiachen put down the cup: "Yes, I wanted to thank you that day, but you left so quickly that I didn't react."
Wen Zhixia said, "I have a part-time tutoring job there, and I was a bit late that day."
Shen Jiachen said, "I still want to say thank you. When are you free? I want to treat you to a meal."
"Really." Wen Zhixia still refused and said honestly: "Even if it wasn't you, I would have caught it. It's an instinctive reaction."
She caught it on impulse, and luckily she was strong and able to stand steadily.
Wen Zhixia silently praised herself in her heart.
"I have to thank you." Shen Jiachen insisted, "If it weren't for you, I would have fallen down the stairs and I don't know what would have happened to me."
Wen Zhixia was about to say no, but after meeting Shen Jiachen's eyes, she didn't know how to say no, "Okay, thank you for the expense."
Shen Jiachen's hand hanging at his side loosened a little, and he said: "This is what I should do. Are you free this weekend?"
Wen Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it at noon tomorrow. I don't have classes tomorrow afternoon, and I will go to Yunguan for class after lunch."
"Okay, do you have any food taboos?" Shen Jiachen had already started searching for the restaurants he often ate at in his mind.
"No dietary restrictions." Wen Zhixia said, "Just arrange it."
Shen Jiachen smiled at her and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the school gate tomorrow at noon."
He pushed the cup back: "Thank you for the water, I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."
Wen Zhixia nodded: "See you tomorrow."
She watched Shen Jiachen leave with brisk steps, feeling even happier than when he came. Wen Zhixia stared at his back for a few seconds, but Shen Jiachen seemed to have eyes on his back. Before she could look away, he turned sideways and looked at her.
Just like that day, he raised his hand and waved, and then his figure blended into the night.
Wen Zhixia withdrew her gaze, and somehow, she thought of the post she had seen.
University A has its own student forum, where sometimes some part-time jobs are posted, and Wen Zhixia would go there to take a look every now and then.
During the National Day, she also saw a post about Shen Jiachen. The general content was that she had a good impression of Shen Jiachen, but Shen Jiachen was not easy to get along with, so she asked her classmates if there was any good way to get in touch with him.
The post had only been posted for ten minutes when there were already over a hundred replies. Wen Zhixia just scrolled through them twice at that time. Most people were saying that Shen Jiachen looked very gentle but was actually not easy to get along with. They told the original poster to give up the idea, saying that it was useless for a good-looking man to have a bad temper.
After Wen Zhixia quit, she could no longer find the post.
I had forgotten about this matter, but when I saw how healthy and cheerful Shen Jiachen was just now, it seemed that he had a good temper.
However, Wen Zhixia quickly put the matter behind her. It seemed that whether Shen Jiachen was easy to get along with or not had nothing to do with her.
After finishing my part-time job, I returned to the dormitory.
As soon as Wen Zhixia opened the door, she saw several paper bags on the ground. She closed the door and walked in, only to find that except for the space for her and Yu Mingxue, the rest was filled with bags, which were probably filled with clothes.
She was a little surprised, but Wen Zhixia's greatest strength was that he respected others, so she just glanced at him twice and then looked away.
Yu Mingxue was curled up in a chair playing games. When she heard the door open, she just turned around and glanced at her: "Oh, you remember to come back."
Wen Zhixia glanced at Yu Mingxue and replied, "Well, I found the way and came back."
Yu Mingxue felt herself choking. She put down her phone and asked, "Did you not see the message I sent you?"
"I saw it." Wen Zhixia said, "I thought you didn't have anything urgent to do, so I didn't reply."
How can you be so calm?
Yu Mingxue crossed her arms, a little speechless: "Do you know that no one has ever dared not to reply to my message, you are the first one."
When Wen Zhixia heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Yu Mingxue watched Wen Zhixia take out pajamas from the closet.
Wen Zhixia turned around, her eyes curved, "It just reminded me of the domineering CEO novels I read when I was a kid. The CEOs in the novels loved to say this. It's the first time I heard this in real life, and it's a bit novel."
Yu Mingxue: ...
She was too lazy to argue with Wen Zhixia and continued, "These clothes are for you as compensation. If you don't like me, I'll have someone send another batch over."
Wen Zhixia, who was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, paused. She looked at the clothes in the room. Are these for her?
