Chapter 328 But She’s Stuck
Xu Wen has little interest in his parents’ love.

Dai Guizhen also said that she didn’t know a playmate named Li Qingyun at all.

In her memory, she often went to play in a building with her friends when she was a child.

But these friends were all girls, not a single boy, and she really couldn’t figure out who this person was.

Since neither of them was interested, the matter was gradually shelved and no one mentioned it again.

Xu Wen never made that call.

Slowly, he was about to forget about this matter.

It was not until the school awarded him a first-class scholarship that he remembered this incident.

Based on his grades and activity points, he definitely wouldn’t get the first-class scholarship.

But Li Jiefeng said that he had made special contributions to the school and the scholarship was specially approved by the principal, so he gladly accepted it.

When school just started, everyone had back-to-school syndrome, feeling that time was passing very slowly and every class was a torture.

But once you get used to it, time passes so fast as if you pressed the fast-forward button.

After the first half of the freshman year, everyone is no longer freshmen.

Some people start to let themselves go once they get familiar with the environment.

Skipping classes, asking for leave, etc. are common occurrences.

Xu Wen is also one of them.

But he didn’t really want to skip class. If he was given a choice, he would definitely prefer to stay in the classroom and attend class instead of running around.

But reality did not give him the opportunity to learn.

Sometimes, when he received a call from the company, he would leave his teacher in the classroom and rush to the company to handle work.

He keeps a close eye on the progress of Flash City every day, hoping that it can be launched as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

The market waits for no one. If you are a step slower, you will be overtaken by latecomers.

In this busy life, March passed by quickly.

The biting chill of winter turns into a veil-like mist and quietly dissipates. The moment new green leaves bloom on the branches, the earth has been coated with a layer of soft light by the warm March sun.

The weather seemed to get hot all of a sudden, even reaching over 30 degrees when the sun was out.

Gu Xingruo always complained to him that even after so many years, she was still not used to the weather here.

When she was a child living at her grandfather’s house, she sometimes had to wear a cotton-padded jacket in March.

Xu Wen had never been to the north, and the thought of this kind of weather was terrifying.

But the warmth of spring did not last long.

As time was approaching April, a light rain covered Linjiang.

It rained for several days in a row, and the temperature was only around 10 degrees Celsius every day.

On the last day of March, Xu Wen’s cell phone alarm rang.

The reason the alarm rang was because of the reminder event he had set a long time ago.

There was no description of the event, just a small birthday symbol.

After seeing the symbol, he immediately remembered that tomorrow was Xia Ning’s birthday.

If the two had not separated before, he would be worrying about what gift to give her now.

When Xia Ning first told him her birthday, he complained, “Is your birthday really on April 1st? Are you trying to play a trick on me on April Fool’s Day?”

He didn’t expect that the girl’s birthday would be on the same day as April Fool’s Day.

Xia Ning said she didn’t want to be one either, because her parents had to give birth to her on that day.

She was afraid that Xu Wen wouldn’t believe her, so she even took out her ID card to show him.

Ordinary people are always reluctant to show their ID cards to others. After all, no matter how beautiful a person is, the photo on the ID card is not that good-looking.

But the photo on Xia Ning’s ID card surprised Xu Wen.

She appears less lively in the photo than in real life, and has a more dignified and graceful beauty, just like a lady from a wealthy family.

Any photo can be photoshopped, but the photo on your ID card cannot be photoshopped.

After seeing the ID card, Xu Wen sighed sincerely: “The photo on your ID card is so beautiful.”

Xia Ning was a little shy and whispered, “I’m letting you watch my birthday!”

As expected, the birthday column on the ID card said April 1st.

At that time, Xu Wen joked with Xia Ning that she had saved him money on his birthday.

After hearing this, she was of course curious and asked him how he saved money.

Xu Wen replied in a mean way: “I will give you an empty box on your birthday, and when you open it I will say ‘Happy April Fools’ Day’ to you. What do you think? Am I smart?”

Xia Ning’s answer was smarter.

Not only was she not angry, but she said to him very gently: “As long as you can spend my birthday with me, I will be happy even if you give me an empty box.”

Jokes aside, Xu Wen had already considered what gift to give Xia Ning on her birthday.

But it was still early for her birthday, so he didn’t think about it too much.

I plan to think about it carefully when her birthday is approaching, and it would be best if I could give her a special gift.

But when the day finally came, he didn’t have to think about it anymore.

Xia Ning was far away in Beijing and didn’t even leave him her address before leaving. Even if he wanted to send her a gift, he could only wait until he came back.

Xu Wen thought, just wait until tomorrow and send her a happy birthday message.

He took out his cell phone and the screen stayed on the text message he sent to Xia Ning.

It was a chat between the two of them before.

Xia Ning had a habit. She knew that text messages were charged at 1 cent each.

But I still stick to one sentence at a time.

Her reason was that she was afraid Xu Wen would lose patience after seeing a long list, and she still kept this habit even after they were together.

The last text message between the two was “I’ll wait for you to come back” sent by Xu Wen.

This was the text message he sent when he saw the letter left by Xia Ning last month.

More than a month has passed, but I still haven’t received a reply.

Xu Wen thought, maybe it’s because they are not allowed to use mobile phones during treatment.

Tomorrow he will send Xia Ning a text message wishing her a happy birthday.

But most of the time, no response is received.

Xu Wen looked through the window at the green plants in the school.

It was cloudy outside because it had just rained and there were still water droplets hanging on the leaves.

When the spring breeze blows, the leaves sway.

I don’t know if Xia Ning’s condition has improved after more than a month.

“What are you thinking about?” A voice sounded behind Xu Wen, and the other party patted his shoulder gently.

He had just been staring at his phone and out the window, and this shot really scared him.

After coming to his senses, Xu Wen looked in the direction where the photo was taken, but there was no one behind him.

Only then did he realize that he had been tricked, and the other party had indeed hidden behind his other shoulder.

“It’s really not easy to see you at school now.” Yang Yiyao said with a smile.

The expression on her face now looks like four big words.

The evil plan succeeded.

“Why are you dressed like this today?” Xu Wen asked puzzledly.

He looked back and forth at this senior. Yang Yiyao was wearing a black shirt with a huge red bow on it, which almost covered her upper body.

The bow was not properly attached to the body, and there was a bulge underneath the bow that was difficult to ignore.

The black shirt is matched with a red and black plaid skirt. A pair of well-proportioned legs are wrapped in black stockings. There is an absolute area of ​​white between the black and the skirt.

Xu Wen knew that this outfit should be called JK, but it didn’t seem to be a JK uniform.

Yang Yiyao shook her long black hair with her hands and said proudly, “This is called the little idol style. How is it? Doesn’t it look good?”

Xu Wen touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully: “I think the sales volume should not be very good.”

This dress looks nice, but not everyone can pull it off.

Only Yang Yiyao looks okay in it.

If someone else wears it, it will easily look out of place.

Faced with the blow, Yang Yiyao, the designer of this uniform, was very unconvinced. She snorted and muttered softly, “What a tasteless guy.”

Xu Wen was too lazy to discuss whether the clothes looked good or not. He asked directly, “Tell me, what do you want to see me about today?”

Recently, Yang Yiyao has come to see him only a few times.

It seems that this senior student has completely given up the idea of ​​becoming his girlfriend, and he is happy to have some peace and quiet.

I guess he came to see me suddenly today because of something important.

But don’t let some idea rekindle your hope.

Yang Yiyao pulled a chair over and sat down. She coughed and said to Xu Wen, “My company is ready, and I’ve hired a few fortune tellers. Do you want to go over and take a look?”

“We have so many fortune tellers in Linjiang?” Xu Wen complained.

As expected, where there is a world of martial arts, there are always swindlers.

Faced with the question, Yang Yiyao smiled awkwardly: “Good fortune tellers all have their own fields. I recruited a few psychology graduates and asked them to learn on the spot.”

Xu Wen understood, it turned out to be a program to train swindlers.

Yang Yiyao was afraid that Xu Wen would not go, so she found another excuse: “We are partners after all. Why don’t you go and see what the company you are working with is like? Are you so confident?”

Xu Wen shrugged: “I feel relieved when our president personally comes.”

That being said, he has already started packing up.

When Yang Yiyao saw Xu Wen’s actions, she automatically ignored his previous words and stood up from the chair.

When he walked out, she quickly followed him.

“Where is your girlfriend? Didn’t she come to see you today?” she asked tentatively.

Xu Wen didn’t think much about it and answered truthfully: “Someone botched the group assignment, and she is dealing with that person at school.”

“Giving up? What does that mean?” Yang Yiyao asked.

Xu Wen always came up with words she had never heard of before.

Every time she finished explaining it, she still felt it made sense.

“It means doing nothing and thinking about nothing.” Xu Wen explained.

Sometimes he also finds that after spending a long time on the Internet in the future, there will be a generation gap when he works with people of this era.

“I hate group assignments the most. There are always a few people who give up, and you have no idea what to do. You can’t just not do it, right?” Yang Yiyao learned and applied what she learned immediately.

After hearing Xu Wen’s words, she felt inexplicably happy.

This also means that Gu Xingruo will not come over for a while and will not disturb the two of them.

On the way to the parking lot, the two chatted idly about the topic of “group work”.

In fact, Yang Yiyao has another question to ask.

This question is about Xia Ning.

Before patting Xu Wen’s shoulder, she was already standing behind him.

Someone greeted her as she entered the studio.

But these sounds didn’t seem to attract Xu Wen’s attention. He just stared blankly at his phone.

As they got closer, Yang Yiyao saw the contents on his phone.

The phone screen stopped at the text message interface.

The contact person is Xia Ning, and the last text message was “I’ll wait for you to come back” last month.

Yang Yiyao was stunned when she saw it.

She didn’t understand why Xu Wen sent such a text message. Isn’t his current girlfriend Gu Xingruo?
And looking at his expression and demeanor, he seemed a little melancholy.

He didn’t even notice her coming up behind him.

Yang Yiyao found that she was beginning to not understand Xu Wen.

If Xia Ning really comes back one day, what will their relationship become?
Yang Yiyao wanted to ask something about Xu Wen and Xia Ning, but she didn’t know where to start.

She hadn’t figured out what to ask or how to ask.

Should we ask him if he intends to have two relationships at the same time? That’s too much.

Yang Yiyao used to hate indecisive men. She believed that loyalty was the most important quality between lovers.

But when she saw what happened today, she found that she didn’t hate Xu Wen at all.

I even felt a little excited for no reason.

This made her feel very strange.

She thought she might be crazy.

Yang Yiyao witnessed Gu Xingruo’s confession, witnessed Xu Wen and Xia Ning’s love, and now she is witnessing his love with Gu Xingruo, and she even saw his attachment to Xia Ning.

She saw too much.

If she had been more rational, she should have extricated herself from this complicated relationship long ago.

But she still couldn’t bear to leave.

When she reached the entrance of the teaching building, Yang Yiyao thought of a very good description.

She had clearly turned on the God’s perspective in the “Love” game, but she still got stuck.

Yang Yiyao noticed that Xu Wen’s gaze was still lingering on the tree outside the window where rain had accumulated. Tiny drops of water were sliding down the veins of the leaves, creating barely perceptible ripples on the windowsill.

As the two passed the art and education building, intermittent sound of “To Alice” came from the piano room, and the sound of Yang Yiyao’s high heels intertwined with the piano keys.

Yang Yiyao couldn’t help but hum along with the rhythm of the music, as if this could temporarily soothe her complicated mood.

Sometimes she should listen to more light music to stop her from having too many wild thoughts.

Yang Yiyao followed Xu Wen’s steps and walked towards the parking lot.

The puddles in the parking lot reflected the gray clouds, and sparse petals fell on the cars parked in them.

“Do you know what I’m thinking?” Yang Yiyao suddenly asked.

Xu Wen was a little confused by this question. He replied: “I can’t do math, and I’m not a psychology major. How can I know what you are thinking?”

Yang Yiyao looked at the fallen flowers on the hood of the car and felt a little emotional for a moment: “I was thinking, the fallen flowers have feelings but the flowing water is ruthless.”

Xu Wen also noticed the petals on the hood of the car. He complained, “When did you change your major to literature?”

While the two were chatting, they saw a girl walking straight towards them.

There’s no need to think about it, it must be directed at them.

At first, Yang Yiyao just felt that the girl looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember who she was.

When she got closer, she suddenly remembered.

Isn’t this Xia Ning’s best friend, Bai Banxia?
Bai Banxia’s light green knitted cardigan was stained with rain, and there were tiny water droplets hanging on the ends of her ponytail.

Her eyes swept across Yang Yiyao and finally stopped at Xu Wen’s hand holding the car keys.
