When I woke up the next day, the snow had stopped.
Before Lin Shen went to work, he had breakfast with Xia Wenxi. After breakfast, Xia Wenxi even saw him to the door.
Just as Lin Shen was about to say that he didn't need to see him off, she said, "How is it? Don't you feel like you've already married into this family?"
Lin Shen smiled and said to Xia Wenxi, "Yes, after today, we can't wait to join this family."
"Sure, sure, it depends on your performance. I have a very good chance."
After leaving the Xia family home, Lin Shen's upturned lips remained on his face all the way to the company. Many people saw this; the president arrived at work with a beaming smile.
"As expected of the CEO, he's so happy even at work."
An employee nearby overheard this and replied, "If I were the CEO, I'd be happy at work too."
You're right.
At this moment, Liang Yi, who had appeared behind the two of them at some unknown time, smiled mysteriously.
The CEO is so happy, but it's not because of work!
Liang Yi shook his head and sighed, "Knowing too much is also a kind of trouble."
——
Three days before the exam, Ke Shurong and Xia Hengyuan returned from the temple. This time, the two of them stayed in the temple for half a month, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures.
After returning, he handed Xia Wenxi a sachet, saying, "The talisman inside has been blessed by a master. Put it under your pillow when you sleep."
Xia Wenxi would certainly not refuse her parents' good intentions. Besides, things had come to this point, and she had done almost everything she could. The metaphysics would also be a way for her to continue her efforts.
It wasn't until dinner time that Xia Wenxi realized that hard work... was reflected in every aspect of her life.
Xia Wenxi stared at the turtle in the center of the dining table, lost in thought. How come this turtle seems to be alive? This doesn't seem to be Aunt Li's skill.
Aunt Li turned the plate around and explained, "Miss, look! This is water, this is the shore, and this is a turtle. Put them together and it means 'going ashore'!"
Oh, it's a soft-shelled turtle. That makes sense. "Soft-shelled turtle coming ashore" sounds much better than "turtle coming ashore."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wenxi went to observe. In the large and deep plate, there was usually soup, and what looked like a "bank" made of yams. The turtles that appeared to be alive were lying on the bank.
This is truly a very creative dish!
Ke Shurong smiled and praised, "Good, good, good, the meaning is really good, Sister Li really went to a lot of trouble."
"Turtle is good too, it's very nutritious, Xiao Bao should eat more later."
Xia Wenxi tried a sip of the soup, and to her surprise, it tasted really good. Aunt Li was indeed amazing; she could make such an abstract dish taste so delicious.
However, she only drank the soup and didn't eat the turtle.
"The turtles have already come ashore, so let's not eat them. Let them stay on the shore."
The exam was on Saturday, and Ke Shurong was thinking of taking her daughter to the exam with the whole family, including Xia Wensheng.
But Xia Wenxi refused. "I'll get nervous if you all go. Just wait for me at home."
Fortunately, Xia Wenxi's exam venue was on the school grounds, but she still went to check out the venue beforehand because she wasn't very familiar with the school yet.
However, one good thing is that the school is not far from home.
Xia Wenxi didn't let her family or Lin Shen see her off; she just had the driver take her to school and pick her up in the afternoon.
However, she was "startled" as soon as she went out on Saturday.
Because there were several banners hanging at the front door with messages like "Wishing Miss a great success," it was obvious that this was the work of Butler Zhou.
It seems that this time, I'm definitely going to make it ashore.
"Study hard on the exam, or you'll have to come work for the company."
Xia Wenxi was about to roll her eyes when she heard Xia Wensheng's words, but then she heard him say, "But I didn't reserve a position for you. I know you'll definitely pass the exam."
Xia Wenxi thought to herself that it was really not easy; Xia Wensheng had started to speak like a human being after she took the exam.
"Dabao is right. You've worked so hard for so long, just do your best. Mom and Dad believe in you!"
"Go, Xiao Bao!"
With the blessings of her family, Xia Wenxi boarded the car with great pride and confidence.
As soon as I got in the car, I realized something was wrong. I grabbed the back of the seat and leaned close to the "driver," saying, "Why is it you? Where's the driver?"
Lin Shen smiled slightly, "I'll be on duty for the next couple of days. Get ready, it's time for us to set off."
"So that's why you only said a dry 'Go for it' so early in the morning. Turns out you were waiting here."
Xia Wenxi woke up early this morning and received WeChat messages from Minghuan and her roommates wishing her good luck on her exams. Of course, Lin Shen also sent her a message, but it was a little out of character for him.
Unexpectedly, it was because he applied for a driver job at her house.
Xia Wenxi didn't change seats, but leaned back and said to the person in front, "Xiao Lin, drive carefully."
"Yes, miss."
During the journey, Xia Wenxi stopped reading. She figured that if she got carsick and felt uncomfortable while reading, it would be counterproductive, so she simply sat quietly and cleared her mind.
Lin Shen's cosplay of a driver was spot-on; when they arrived at their destination, he even got out of the car to open the door for Xia Wenxi, saying, "Miss, we've arrived."
Xia Wenxi was amused by him. Looking at his outstretched hand, she teased, "I've never seen a driver ask a young lady to get out of the car like this."
However, I still extended my hand.
"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here at noon."
"good afternoon."
Since parking is not allowed for extended periods, the two didn't say much. Xia Wenxi waved to Lin Shen and entered the school.
After watching Wenxi go inside, Lin Shen drove home and planned to go over there again at noon.
