Chapter 476 Wen Zhixia x Shen Jiachen (Forty-eight)
Wen Zhixia nodded. She put the broom aside and went to the bathroom to get a mop. She asked curiously, "I always thought that arranged marriages only existed in TV dramas and novels, but I didn't expect it to really exist. But logically speaking, since there is an arranged marriage, then can't we refuse? Do we have to get married?"
"What century is it?" Yu Mingxue said, "Marriage is for the benefit of the two families to develop more steadily, but if there is no love, if something goes wrong after marriage and they get divorced, how can the interests be balanced at that time? When you get married, you definitely want to spend the rest of your life with each other, it's not like playing house."
Wen Zhixia hummed: "That's right."
Yu Mingxue said, "Forget it. I guess you won't fully understand what I'm saying. Let's talk about something else. Do you plan to tell your sister about your relationship?"
"...We haven't talked about it yet." Wen Zhixia's ears blushed: "Why do you make it sound like we've already talked about it?"
"Look at you, it's only a matter of time." Yu Mingxue yawned, "Why are you shy? You're already in your twenties. Haven't you ever been in a relationship before?"
Wen Zhixia shook her head: "What about you?"
Yu Mingxue coughed lightly: "...Why do you care whether I have it or not?"
"That means there is nothing left." Wen Zhixia said, "Miss, have you always spoken like this since you were a child?"
"Don't call me Miss." Yu Mingxue pursed her lips: "It sounds weird."
Wen Zhixia just smiled and sat back in her seat. Yu Mingxue said again: "What's wrong with me talking? Also, you haven't answered my previous question yet. Do you want to tell your sister about your relationship?"
"I think you're a little hard-mouthed. Sometimes you seem to care about people, but when you open your mouth, it's like you've eaten a bomb." Wen Zhixia sighed, "I don't plan to tell her. She's going to take the college entrance examination next year, so I'd better not let this kind of thing affect her. Besides, it's only been a short time since we broke up."
"I can say whatever I want." Yu Mingxue muttered. After hearing what Wen Zhixia said next, she couldn't help but say, "You really care about her."
Wen Zhixia shrugged, and Yu Mingxue continued, "Is she going to be eighteen? When she turns eighteen, will you still be her blood bag?"
"You really don't show any mercy when you speak." Wen Zhixia turned around and looked at her: "Miss, can you please consider me a little bit?"
"I didn't say anything wrong." Yu Mingxue said confidently, "I just swallowed dynamite, what's wrong with that?"
Wen Zhixia ignored her, but still replied: "After she finishes the college entrance examination, she should go to work during the summer vacation. She should work for two months first."
Wen Zhixia had never let Wen Sisi suffer since her mother passed away, but after the last big fight, Wen Zhixia began to reflect on herself and wondered if she had raised Wen Sisi too well and made her not realize how difficult life was.
"That's right. I thought you were going to raise her as a daughter." Yu Mingxue said, "You should have let her face the reality a long time ago."
For a man, she actually threatened her relatives to jump off the building. Even an outsider like Yu Mingxue couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this.
"She's still a child. Some things must be discussed after she turns 18." Wen Zhixia sighed, "My only request to her now is that she doesn't get into any big trouble."
"Well... usually when they say that, there will be a big revelation later." Yu Mingxue said with a sigh, "You better be careful."
What else could possibly happen? Wen Zhixia thought to herself, since they had already threatened to jump off the building, she felt like she could accept anything now.
Thinking of this, Wen Zhixia couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect that she would actually think like this. She patted her face and continued to pack her things. Now that the weather was getting colder, she had to take her summer clothes back and then bring some autumn clothes.
The wind outside the dormitory was rustling, and the leaves were rustling. Wen Zhixia looked over and saw that winter was coming again.
Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the final review week. The study atmosphere in University A was already strong, and at the end of the semester, everyone plunged into studying. Even Yu Mingxue stayed in the dormitory for several days in a row to prepare for the final exam.
After finally finishing the exam, Wen Zhixia walked out of the classroom, stretched her neck, and felt completely relaxed. Next up was a vacation of about forty days, so she could work peacefully.
Wen Zhixia was thinking about her two part-time jobs as she walked. She only had three hours of tutoring classes on Saturday afternoons, while the part-time job at the coffee shop was always in the evenings. From tomorrow to New Year's Eve, she could still earn a considerable income.
Wen Zhixia couldn't help but feel happy when thinking about the considerable income coming in. The happiest time was when she had a holiday, because she didn't have to run back and forth. She could use the rest of the time to rest and the pressure was much less.
More importantly, she also had to plan some tutoring for Wen Sisi. Although her grades had improved a little, she could only barely get into a second-tier university. If she performed poorly, she might not even get into a second-tier university. She still had to give her some proper teaching.
As she was thinking, she felt her shoulder being patted. She subconsciously turned her head to look, but saw no one. When she turned her head to look to the other side, her face touched something warm.
Wen Zhixia looked over and saw a cup of milk tea.
The milk tea cup blocked some of her view. Just as she was about to raise her hand, the milk tea moved away, revealing Shen Jiachen's smiling face: "Congratulations, you've finished the exam."
Wen Zhixia looked at him with some surprise: "You finished the exam too?"
"You have an exam tomorrow." Shen Jiachen handed her the milk tea and took out a straw from his down jacket pocket: "Drink it quickly, it will get cold soon."
He inserted the straw for Wen Zhixia and skillfully put the straw paper back into his pocket. Wen Zhixia looked at him and smiled.
Shen Jiachen was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
The two of them walked outside together, and Wen Zhixia said, "Nothing to laugh about. There's a trash can in front, so just throw away the trash."
She held the milk tea in both hands, and the hot tea warmed her palms.
Shen Jiachen also knew what she was laughing at. He hummed lightly and walked over quickly to throw the garbage into the trash can. When he turned around, Wen Zhixia was standing there waiting for him with a smile.
After spending some time together, the relationship between the two can be said to have made great progress, and it is almost like the window paper has been broken. Shen Jiachen also wants to find a good time to confess his feelings, but the company has a lot of things to do at the end of the year in the past two days, plus exams, and he doesn't want to confess his feelings so casually. He wants to give Wen Zhixia the most unforgettable confession, but he can't find the right opportunity.
He walked quickly to Wen Zhixia and asked, "Are you ready to go home now?"
Wen Zhixia hummed: "I don't have to work part-time tonight. I'm going to move all my things back and then clean up the house."
It's been an exam week recently, and she hasn't been home for a long time, except for going back to get clothes when it was cold. Today is Friday, and she has to go back to clean up the house first.
Shen Jiachen said: "I'll take you home. My car is outside the school. Can I drive in?"
"No, didn't you say you were busy with work recently?" Wen Zhixia took a sip of warm milk tea: "You go back to the company first. I only have a big suitcase. It's the same if I take the bus back later."
"I still have time to take you there." Shen Jiachen said, "I'll go drive."
Wen Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "No need to drive in specially, I can just move it down. It's just a big box. You can wait for me downstairs later. If there's enough time, can we have dinner together?"
"Okay." Of course Shen Jiachen was happy to do so. He had been busy recently and had less time to meet Wen Zhixia.
The two of them walked towards the dormitory chatting and laughing. Wen Zhixia's cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Yu Mingxue.
Yu Mingxue was in the dormitory at the moment, and they asked her if she wanted to go together. She asked the driver to take a detour and drop her off home.
Wen Zhixia replied with a relaxed expression: [No, are you in the dormitory now? I'll be coming up soon.]
Yu Mingxue didn't reply, probably because she didn't see it.
Wen Zhixia put down her phone, and Shen Jiachen asked, "Why are you so happy all of a sudden?"
"I just feel that I'm very lucky." Wen Zhixia took a deep breath: "The people around me are all very good people."
She remembered that Yu Mingxue had said before that she wanted to meet this attractive guest, but Yu Mingxue and Shen Jiachen were both very busy and had no time to meet. Isn't today a perfect day?
Wen Zhixia tilted her head to look at Shen Jiachen. She hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Would you like to... meet my friend later? She's my roommate, and she happens to be in the dormitory right now."
Shen Jiachen: !!!
