However, Xia Wensheng remained silent and stayed quietly until the party ended and the two of them left Teacher Fang's house to go home.
He then told Minghuan, "I think I didn't mistake you for someone else. She said she had been to Fanshi before, and that reminded me."
Where have you seen this before?
Minghuan was somewhat surprised, so she asked Xia Wensheng where she had met him.
"It was someone I met at a party that a friend dragged me to. Someone there brought their female companion, and now I remember it was her. But I had something to do that day and left quickly, so she probably didn't recognize me."
Xia Wensheng was dragged there by someone that day. When he arrived, he didn't know anyone there. He sat on the side for three to five minutes and then made an excuse to leave.
Hearing Xia Wensheng say this, it did seem like there was no problem, and that the meeting was just a coincidence. However, judging from Xia Wensheng's expression, Ming Huan knew that things were not so simple.
"Is there something else you haven't told me? Do you know her boyfriend?"
Xia Wensheng nodded first, then shook his head.
"I don't know him, but I've heard a little about him before."
Xia Wensheng recalled for a moment and then recounted the story he had heard from a friend to Ming Huan.
After that party, when he was having dinner with some friends, the guy who had insisted on dragging him to the party chatted with them and said, "That bastard Yin Er, he's really something. His last girlfriend was a music student, and this one is too. Is he trying to improve his off-key singing genes?"
Another person present at the time said, "Wasn't Yin Er's first love a music student? Can't he just keep thinking about her?"
Xia Wensheng didn't pay much attention at the time, treating it as just random gossip. He had only met this "Yin Er" a few times and hadn't even exchanged more than a few words with him.
However, just now, when he saw Su Yinyin and heard her say that she had been to Fan City a few times, he suddenly connected the two things in his mind.
The person sitting next to Yin Er at that drinking party really looked like Su Yinyin, whom he saw today, and she was also a music student. He thought it couldn't be such a coincidence.
"However, I only heard about it secondhand; I didn't know Yin Er before."
Minghuan nodded without saying anything.
Since it wasn't their business, the two forgot about it when they got home and were even busy making dinner for their future in-laws who hadn't gotten off work yet.
Minghuan can cook some home-style dishes. Family meals don't need to be complicated or delicious, so she takes the lead in cooking, and Xia Wensheng assists her.
However, when it came to chopping vegetables, he was afraid that Minghuan would cut her hand, so he volunteered to chop the vegetables himself. As a result, Minghuan wisely changed the stir-fried shredded potatoes to braised chicken with potato chunks. At least the chicken was already cut at the market, and the potato chunks were easy to cut.
This way, the whole family won't end up eating only potato fries.
When cooking, Xia Wensheng was worried that Minghuan's hands would get splattered with oil, so he took over the cooking, while Minghuan was only responsible for adding seasonings.
While the chicken was stewing in the pot, Minghuan suddenly asked Xia Wensheng, "Do you think... it's possible that a man breaks up with his true love and then finds someone else to replace her?"
Xia Wensheng didn't think much of it at first. She was excited about cooking for the first time and was taking pictures of the chicken with her phone. When she heard this, she casually said, "Isn't this crazy? It's not like the chicken is dead after the breakup. What kind of substitute is this?"
After he put down his phone, he suddenly realized what Minghuan was saying.
"You don't mean... that Yin Er might be using your junior sister as a substitute?"
Minghuan then realized that her idea was a bit too outrageous; life doesn't always have so much drama.
"...I recently read two melodramatic novels, I must be overthinking it."
"From what I heard from your junior, her relationship with her boyfriend seems pretty good, otherwise she wouldn't be thinking of going to Fan City to be with him after graduation. If I have the chance to meet my friend later, I'll ask her about it."
Both of them felt that things like body doubles and true love were just fiction in novels, and that real life didn't have any of that nonsense.
If Xia Wenxi were here, she would definitely tell them: No, what you think is melodramatic is actually just life!
However, Xia Wenxi is currently busy with something else.
It was raining outside today, so Xia Wenxi didn't go to the study room. In the afternoon, the aunt who takes care of the cat came to find her and said that the cat seemed a little strange.
Xia Wenxi thought she was sick, so she quickly put down her book and went to see the cat.
When Xia Wenxi saw the little fish, it seemed a bit restless, sniffing around and rubbing against people whenever it saw them. It even seemed to have lost interest in its favorite freeze-dried food, and its calls were different from before.
"Miss, should we take her to the hospital?"
"Hmm...we probably won't need to for now."
Actually, Xia Wenxi had a guess in her mind; judging from Xiaoyuer's age, it should be about right. But just to be on the safe side, she still took a video and sent it to the vet at the pet hospital.
Five minutes later...
The doctor replied, and Xia Wenxi also scheduled Xiaoyuer's surgery for next Monday.
"The doctor said that Xiaoyuer is in heat, and I will take her to be spayed next week."
Aunt Yu, who has been taking care of Xiaoyuer, was heartbroken when she heard the news. "Won't the surgery be harmful to his body? I have to hurry up and make some nutritious food for Xiaoyuer."
Xia Wenxi didn't stop her, but she glanced down at the small gas cylinder that was rolling around...
Forget it, let's talk about it after the surgery. They didn't say I was overweight during the last checkup.
While relieving Xiaoyuer's discomfort according to the doctor's instructions, Xia Wenxi forwarded her chat history with the doctor to Lin Shen.
After all, Lin Shen was practically Xiaoyuer's co-parent, so Xia Wenxi knew he would definitely say he would go with them. She quickly replied:
Dr. Wang is quite busy next week; his surgeries are almost fully booked. He's only available on Monday afternoon. I can take it myself, so you can focus on your work.
Lin Shen checked his schedule. He was going to a subsidiary in another city next Monday and wouldn't be back until the next day.
So this Saturday, Lin Shen came to my house to visit Xiaoyuer, who was about to undergo sterilization surgery, and brought a lot of delicious food with him.
"You bought so many canned foods again. Little Fish is almost as big as a pig!" Xia Wenxi said with a smile, pulling him upstairs.
Are your aunt and uncle not home?
"Yes, my parents went to see a movie."
Yes, after retiring and being rehired for another week, Mr. Xia Hengyuan can finally rest again.
"Your uncle and aunt have such a good relationship," Lin Shen said with a smile. He also hoped that he and Wen Xi could be like that in the future, and that they could still go on weekends to watch movies together decades later.
"By the way, when Wei Shaoan's dog Niu Niu was neutered, he said he was afraid the dog would hold a grudge, so he even hired someone to act it out. Does Xiao Yu'er need that?"
