Even during the meal, Jin Wenyao was still sighing.
"I didn't have a boyfriend during my four years of college, and it's even less likely that I'll be able to find one after I graduate and go home."
Xia Wenxi joked, "Your defense isn't until the end of May, and you won't be leaving school until June at the earliest. You still have time; you can start a sweet campus romance in your twilight years."
Jin Wenyao chuckled, "I'd like to, but I don't have a goal yet, do I?"
Zhang Jiayi exposed her, "Didn't you tell me yesterday that you saw a handsome guy in the cafeteria?"
"I don't know what happened, I never realized there were handsome guys at our school before. I'm about to graduate, and suddenly I see one every few minutes. I should have taken the postgraduate entrance exam."
Jin Wenyao's words amused the three of them, and after dinner she insisted on treating them to a movie.
"You can see each other often in Fan City from now on. I don't know when we'll be able to see each other again after I go back."
Hearing Jin Wenyao say this, Xia Wenxi felt a pang of reluctance. She thought back to when she graduated, she and her roommates had made a promise to meet once a year, but for various reasons, they had never been able to do so.
Later on, let alone meeting in person, we only chatted online once in a long while.
While the internet and transportation are very advanced nowadays, it has become difficult to get together again after leaving school.
“Your home isn’t far from Fan City, so it won’t be difficult to meet up if you want.”
"Yes! You wait for me, I'm going to expand my family's factory and open a branch in Fancheng!"
No matter what the future holds, the time we spend together is always joyful, and we are full of anticipation for the future.
——
It was already past four in the afternoon when the movie ended. Xia Wenxi asked the driver to take her roommates back to school before going home herself.
As soon as Xia Wenxi entered the room, she was changing her shoes when Butler Zhou suddenly appeared in front of her. Xia Wenxi was startled, as she hadn't seen him when she entered the room and didn't know where he had suddenly appeared from.
"Miss, several packages were delivered to you this afternoon. They have been disinfected and placed in your room."
"Okay, I understand. By the way, Uncle Zhou, I brought back all my school stuff on my way back to school today. It's still in the car. Could you have someone go and get it?"
"Yes, miss."
Xia Wenxi walked to the stairwell, intending to ask Butler Zhou where her mother was, but when she turned around, she found that Butler Zhou was gone. She wondered if all butlers in the CEO's family had this ability to appear and disappear without a trace.
After returning to her room, Xia Wenxi unpacked the package, took a shower, and revised her thesis. By the time she finished, it was already dark.
Just then, Xia Wenxi received a video call from her mother.
As soon as the call connected, Xia Wenxi saw two faces on the screen.
"Mom, Dad, you went on another date?"
Xia Hengyuan laughed and said, "Yes, your mother and I are camping!" He then adjusted the camera to show Xia Wenxi the tent.
Ke Shurong instructed, "Xiaobao, you must eat on time while you are at home. We will be back in a couple of days."
"Okay, you guys have fun, don't worry about me."
Xia Wenxi thought to herself that the old couple were quite adventurous. Her mother was still at home when she left in the morning. She had only told her that the two of them were going out to play, but she didn't expect them to spend the night outside.
Xia Wenxi decided to start studying in the study room next week. She hasn't tried the annual pass for the deluxe single room that Xia Wensheng bought for her yet.
Of course, she plans to sleep in for the rest of the week, if possible—
Xia Wensheng: [Image]
Xia Wensheng: [Image]
Xia Wensheng: [?? What's going on?]
Xia Wensheng: [Explain this to me, Xia Wenxi?]
Xia Wenxi opened the picture Xia Wensheng sent and was dumbfounded.
The first image is a screenshot from Weibo: "[The heiress of Hengyuan Group and the president of Lin's Group are in a relationship! Pictures don't lie!]"
The second picture is the so-called truth. Xia Wenxi is also very familiar with this picture. It was taken at the Wei family that day when Lin Shen helped her snatch the shoe from the dog's mouth.
The angle of this photo is quite tricky. Lin Shen was just helping her get her shoes, but it was captured in a way that made it seem like a romantic scene.
Lin Shen bent down and put down the shoes, and the two of them gazed at each other affectionately.
My shoe was stolen by a dog, and Lin Shen knew dogs, so he got it back for me. It was that simple...
Xia Wenxi replied to Xia Wensheng's message and saw that Jin Wenyao was also asking her in the dormitory group. She could only reply with "Fake" and couldn't explain much else.
In short, it's something that "can't be explained in just a few words."
Xia Wensheng: [You mean the dog took your shoe from your foot?]
Xia Wenxi replied helplessly: "To be precise, for some reason, I took off my shoes, and then a dog picked them up. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lin Shen, or ask the dog..."
Xia Wenxi never expected that someone would be taking pictures of her nearby. Besides, she wasn't a female celebrity, so why would anyone talk about her relationship all the time?
Perhaps feeling that things couldn't be explained clearly over WeChat, Xia Wensheng called directly. Her first question was, "When did you and Lin Shen become so close?"
"Which eye of yours saw that we got along well? He just happened to be passing by and helped me save my shoe from the dog's mouth. Who took this photo?"
"It was either a guest from that day or a servant from the Wei family. I will find that person."
Xia Wenxi asked an important question, "Will this rumor affect the company? Does it need to be clarified?"
"It's impossible to predict what the subsequent impact will be, but Hengyuan and Lin's are currently cooperating, so I guess such rumors won't do the company any harm."
As for clarification, this isn't as simple as last time. In my opinion, it's better to handle it quietly. However, if you want clarification, then we can issue a statement.
"I don't care, as long as it doesn't affect the company. Anyway, I don't have a boyfriend right now, and I'm not an idol, so let the rumors spread."
As long as Xia Wenxi herself has no objection, Xia Wensheng has nothing to say. Rumors are too normal. When he wasn't dating, he was dragged into dating several girlfriends every month.
"I understand. I'll contact the Lin family later and see what they think."
"Um."
As Xia Wenxi finished speaking and was about to hang up, she heard Xia Wensheng ask her, "You and Lin Shen are really not together?"
Xia Wenxi was speechless. "Do you think I, your sister, have time to date lately?"
"Okay, I was just asking."
Xia Wensheng hung up the phone, saw the photo in the WeChat chat box, and couldn't resist clicking on it to take a closer look.
"wrong!"
The assistant asked疑惑地问道, "What's wrong? Mr. Xia, should we contact the Lin Group next?"
"I'll contact General Manager Lin myself. You can go out now."
After the assistant left, Xia Wensheng looked at the photos again and again, and finally came to a conclusion.
"Something's not right. Is Lin Shen really after Xia Wenxi?!"
