On the way home, Xia Wenxi asked her mother curiously, "Mom, do you really have a friend's daughter who wants to find a boyfriend?"
"How could I? Your mother would never do something as thankless as being a matchmaker."
"Then... what if Mrs. Pigeon Egg really asks you to introduce her son to someone?"
Xia Wenxi accidentally blurted out her inner thoughts.
"Mrs. Pigeon Egg?"
Ke Shurong was puzzled for a moment, but then she immediately realized, "The name you gave me is quite interesting."
She wears two large diamonds wherever she goes, so this name couldn't be more fitting.
"That's easy. Just ask me and I'll tell you that she's found a partner."
Ke Shurong told her daughter, "The aunties I met today are all very nice and talkative. If you need anything, you can't go wrong asking them."
Xia Wenxi immediately showed an expression of admiration, "Mom, you're amazing!"
Ke Shurong watched as her daughter spoke with such seriousness, as if she genuinely believed that what she had done today was something truly remarkable.
"What's so great about gossiping?"
On Wednesday evening, Xia Wensheng made a special trip home to listen to the mother and daughter recount what they had heard about Yin Chengjing that day.
Of course, Ke Shurong added after she finished speaking: "Just listen and forget about it. If I didn't know them, I wouldn't ask. You can't tell the truth from hearsay."
Although there are various signs that this is indeed true, there is still no evidence... Even gossip should be taken seriously.
Xia Wensheng assured him, "Don't worry, we definitely won't talk about this."
However, just two days later, news spread that Mrs. Yin had brought a girl to the banquet.
It's said that Mrs. Yin is particularly close to that girl...
It is also said that Mrs. Yin said the girl was her future daughter-in-law.
It is also said that the girl's father is a leader in a certain bureau.
Anyway, there were all sorts of rumors. Ke Shurong got her hands on the gossip through a WeChat group and then relayed it to her daughter.
However, Xia Wenxi expressed concern about their way of gossiping.
"Isn't chatting on WeChat too dangerous? What if someone loses their phone and the information gets leaked?"
Everyone here is a seasoned observer, so of course we wouldn't be completely unprepared. Ke Shurong told her daughter, "We use code names when we talk. Even if the King of Heaven himself finds our phone, he won't know who we're talking about."
In response, Xia Wenxi could only give a thumbs up again to express her admiration.
Minghuan also learned about her junior's recent situation and knew that she was oblivious to everything else and focused only on the final exams, so she didn't bother her any further and decided to wait until after the exams to discuss everything.
——
On Saturday morning, Xia Wenxi waved goodbye to her parents and went out on a date.
It had been a week since they last met. Lin Shen looked at the girl who had run three steps away from him and suddenly stopped, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize me after a week?"
Xia Wenxi walked forward with her hands behind her back, "Yeah, I've almost forgotten what you look like since I haven't seen you for a week..."
She paused here, stared at Lin Shen's expression for a while, and saw that he still had that gentle smile on his face.
She could only say the second half of the sentence she had prepared with great disappointment.
"I forgot what you look like, so I was stunned by your handsomeness when I saw you! Okay—I know it's cold, let's get in the car and leave quickly."
Xia Wenxi initially thought her carefully crafted love confession was brilliant, but she froze halfway through.
Lin Shen's smile widened. "I'm very happy that you complimented me on my looks."
"Really? I didn't see that coming..." Xia Wenxi looked up at him with a resentful expression.
But when I looked up, I saw his delicate chin, his perfectly shaped lips... and above that, his straight nose...
This is terrible!
Xia Wenxi closed her eyes, her mind screaming: Xia Wenxi, shut your head! Didn't you promise to forget that sentence??
It turns out that sometimes the more you try to forget something, the more your brain remembers it, and it will keep popping into your head to remind you.
For example, right now, Xia Wenxi's mind is filled with the three words "high nose," but it's more than just those three words...
"What's wrong, Wenxi?"
Lin Shen saw Xia Wenxi suddenly close her eyes and her face getting redder and redder, and he was worried that she might be sick.
So he lowered his head and gently touched Xia Wenxi's forehead with his own, carefully feeling the temperature of her forehead.
"It seems a little hot? Did you catch a cold last night?"
"No, no..." Xia Wenxi was speechless and could only quickly pull Lin Shen into the car.
"Let's hurry up and go. Didn't you say you were going to cook lunch for me? If we don't leave now, we won't be able to cook lunch in time."
After saying that, Xia Wenxi fastened her seatbelt again, "I really don't have a fever, really!"
Lin Shen looked at her again and could see that she was full of energy and did not seem sick. He finally felt relieved and drove away.
When the car was almost at his house, Lin Shen finally noticed the problem.
Something's not right about Wenxi today.
She used to love turning her head to look at him when she was in the car, but today she kept her eyes fixed on the road ahead, looking even more serious than the driving school safety officer.
Lin Shen didn't say anything for the time being, deciding to ask him properly once they got home...
Xia Wenxi entered the room, skillfully took off her coat, sat down to change into slippers, and then prepared to lounge on the sofa...
This was her usual routine, but today, as soon as she stood up after changing her shoes, Lin Shen stopped her.
