SCHS - Chapter 95
Chapter 95
Xu Rangshan called Pan He again to inquire about Xu Jianfan's recent situation. Each time, he would start by asking about Xu Jianfan's health in great detail, afraid that Xu Jianfan might secretly fall ill outside and not tell his parents.
Pan He recalled the day he visited Wen Shixue and calmly said, "Young Master is in very good health. He can run on the treadmill for several minutes without getting too out of breath."
Xu Rangshan was greatly relieved upon hearing this: "Good, that kid knows to exercise properly."
"It wasn't the Young Master's initiative," Pan He said honestly and subtly, "He was 'invited' onto the treadmill by Miss Wen."
Xu Rangshan was stunned for a moment, then surprised and curious, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao He, you've been by Jianfan's side for so long and seen them interact. What do you think of the two of them?"
Holding his phone, Pan He calmly and slowly said, "I think, Young Master and Miss Wen are indeed—"
"Not a match."
Xu Rangshan: "???"
Pan He honestly stated his feelings: "The two of them are actually very suitable to be siblings. It's truly a pity if they aren't."
He thought back to the day Wen Shixue chased Xu Jianfan onto the treadmill, and after he ran for a while in confusion, he got off and chased Wen Shixue onto it. This familiar mode of mutual torment made him even more certain.
It was simply against the laws of nature for the Xu family's young master and the Wen family's young lady not to be siblings.
Xu Rangshan: "???"
I wanted a daughter-in-law, but you recommended a daughter instead???
...
After Pan He became an ally, Xu Jianfan finally didn't need to put on clumsy acts, and Wen Shixue didn't need to act either; her gaze towards him became much friendlier.
With Pan He taking the lead in helping Xu Jianfan alleviate his parents' pressure, the following days, as if to fulfill the saying "new year, new beginnings," everything Wen Shixue and Xu Jianfan did went smoothly. Their careers were particularly thriving and unimpeded.
What made Qin Zhen relieved was that Wen Shixue really started exercising obediently.
Wen Shixue's cheeks were flushed. She raised her hand to turn off the treadmill, her physical education class for the day was over. Parched, she took the water cup Qin Zhen handed her and drank it down heroically. Then she ran to the sofa to rest, staring blankly at the ceiling, her whole being feeling ethereal, as if the running hadn't consumed her physical strength but her life force.
Every time after Wen Shixue finished running, Qin Zhen would see this world-famous painting, "Who Am I, Where Am I?"
So she walked over with a smile, stroked her head, smoothed her hair, and watched as she slowly came back to her senses, grabbing her hand and asking, "Lao Qin, where are you planning to spend the New Year this time?"
New Year was at the beginning of next month, and Wen Lianchang and Meng Yuezhu would also finish their months-long world tour and come home for the holiday. At that time, Wen Shixue would definitely have to go back to the Wen family to accompany them.
She had a place to go, but her girlfriend didn't yet.
"Is our Emperor's Son-in-law going to Hanhan Jie's place for the New Year?" she asked curiously.
As soon as Qin Zhen heard that title, she felt a headache coming on, so she lightly pinched her face: "Don't learn all this nonsense from Hanhan."
Wen Shixue readily complied: "Okay, Crown Princess."
Qin Zhen looked at her without a word.
Wen Shixue immediately smiled brightly, like a little sun: "Zhenzhen Jie." Then, with a radiant expression, she kissed her.
Qin Zhen: "..."
Forget it, why make things difficult for herself...
She said, "Hanhan is going back to her hometown with her husband for the New Year this year. I don't need to visit them; I'll just stay at home."
Wen Shixue obediently said "Oh" and then asked, "Have you ever come to my house for New Year's greetings?"
The children her parents had sponsored were more than she could count on her fingers and toes. After these children grew up, entered society, started working, and were able to support themselves, they would visit during holidays. If they couldn't visit in person, they would send gifts or ask her father's secretary to forward greetings to show their gratitude.
However, Wen Lianchang didn't let them come every time; an occasional visit was enough. You don't need to know the hen that laid the egg to eat it, and they weren't doing charity work just to be thanked.
But no matter which sponsored children came to visit, Wen Shixue had never met any of them because she wasn't interested in entertaining people she wasn't close to, and the other party wasn't coming to see her anyway. So she would always stay in her room, either sleeping, playing on her phone or computer, or planning where to go next to cultivate her mind.
Qin Zhen chuckled and stroked her head: "I have. When Uncle Wen and the others were free and I had time, I would go."
The Wen family never lacked visitors, many of whom were prominent figures in the industry. She had no intention of meeting them and could only choose times when there were fewer people to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Wen.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen were very kind to her, so much so that she often wondered if her own parents would have treated her with such love and gentleness if she had them.
After she finished speaking, she quietly looked at the obedient person in front of her, her gentle fingers lightly stroking her soft hair.
She used to envy her, envying that she wouldn't be abandoned by her parents, envying that she was unconditionally loved by her parents, never having to suffer any hardship, and even more envying that she knew what her parents looked like. But that was when she was younger. As she grew older, she had long since come to terms with it. It was useless to dwell on what she didn't have; perhaps losing her parents was always destined to be a part of her life.
But she had never expected that the little princess she once envied would have so many bizarre and fantastical experiences, and even... become her girlfriend.
Looking back at everything that happened last year, it felt like a dream, incredibly unreal.
Wen Shixue saw her lost in thought, shifted her body, and softly asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"Thinking about everything from when we met until now," Qin Zhen said gently, "It feels like every minute and every second is a dream."
Wen Shixue agreed with this statement. After all, she had never imagined that bumping her head would also reveal the script of the world—bizarre, fantastical, and ridiculous.
After accepting this setting, she often wondered if another bump might reveal the scripts of her next life, or even the lives after that, or even the scripts of others. But whether it could or not, at least after she bumped herself "awake," she found the person who truly belonged to her, and didn't have to desperately be the villainous side character, the male lead's lapdog.
She hugged Qin Zhen: "I'm not a dream, I'll always be with you." She rubbed her head against hers, whining affectionately, "I know you definitely won't come home with me for the New Year this time, but you must come for New Year's greetings. I've never received a red envelope from my girlfriend before."
Qin Zhen was one of the children sponsored by Wen Lianchang and Meng Yuezhu, and moreover, an internal employee of the Wen Group. If she were suddenly brought home by the little princess for the New Year, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction and jealousy among others, attracting much suspicion. People are not troubled by scarcity but by inequality. How could Wen Lianchang, as the chairman, balance the situation then?
Once she confessed her relationship with Qin Zhen to Wen Lianchang and Meng Yuezhu, she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to bring her girlfriend home. So this time, she planned to test the waters with Wen Lianchang and Meng Yuezhu.
If they didn't mind her being in love with someone of the same sex, she would even have Qin Zhen propose immediately. If they did mind, it didn't matter. She would appeal to their emotions and reason; with time, they would surely move them. After all, for parents, nothing in the world is bigger than their child's true happiness.
Qin Zhen stroked the back of her head and said with a smile, "I hope our Miss Wen won't dislike the small amount I give."
"It's not small," Wen Shixue said, "Because your whole person is mine, and that's not small at all."
...
Chenfeng held its annual meeting before the Chinese New Year holiday. This was Wen Shixue's first company annual meeting in her life. She specifically instructed her subordinates to make it lively and festive, but she couldn't see any messy games appear, otherwise, none of the planning team would escape her "Convince by Virtue" bat. At the end of the annual meeting, of course, she gave a speech to everyone, expressing her sincere wishes and hoping that Chenfeng and every employee would get better and better.
At the same time, she quietly made two wishes: that "Gui Hong" and the female lead's TV drama would make Chenfeng unstoppable this year, and that both she and Xu Jianfan could smoothly break off their engagements and be with the people they truly liked for a long, long time!
Wen Shixue: I'm willing to trade two precious strands of hair from the male lead, my brother Jianfan, for this!
After a lively and relaxed evening, everyone went back to their respective homes and families, to meet again after the New Year.
Wen Shixue also excitedly pulled Qin Zhen's hand and went back, clearly more eager to go home than usual, which made Qin Zhen feel a bit bewildered, subconsciously thinking that she was brewing some new mischievous plan today.
Having a unique girlfriend not only ensures that life is never boring but also exercises one's ability to expand their thinking. It's simply full of benefits, wonderfully indescribable.
As the door closed, the world was divided into two. They stood on the undisturbed side, took off their thick, warm coats, removed their scarves, and walked into the living room feeling light.
Wen Shixue proactively took both their coats and scarves to put away, smiling the whole time, as if something happy had happened, which made Qin Zhen even more puzzled.
Qin Zhen asked, "Did something happy happen?"
"Of course," Wen Shixue said, "Even if there's no happy event, I can create one myself."
Then she happily pounced on her, pushed her onto the sofa, grabbed her wrists, and swung a leg over, sitting on her with righteous confidence. Looking down at her, she said very considerately, "Lao Qin, I'm going home tomorrow afternoon. I hope you can sleep in during the holiday and not always wake up so early."
Qin Zhen didn't say anything, just looked at her, waiting for her to continue, but even while being pinned down, the smile in her eyes was very gentle.
Then Wen Shixue said with a righteous air, "So I'm going to give you a little farewell gift to help you sleep in more."
Qin Zhen chuckled and asked, "What kind of gift can help me sleep in?"
Wen Shixue's fingers slid ambiguously along her fair wrists towards her palms, threading through her slightly parted fingers, intertwining their hands. At the same time, she slowly leaned down, lowered her voice, and smiled brightly at her.
"Me."
