Wen Nian wrapped her arms around Zhou Mei’s arm and gave it a gentle shake.
She spoke in a playful, childlike tone, “Thank you, Mom.”
After the plans were made, everyone went to wash up and prepare for the following day’s activities.
The next day, under Shen Jun’s guidance, Wen Nian successfully completed the first stage of her studies according to his plan.
Shen Jun sent Wen Nian the study plan for the second semester of high school on her phone and said, “Start with this plan. If it doesn’t yield good results, we’ll adjust it accordingly.”
Wen Nian checked her phone and noticed that it was already 6 pm. “Okay, come to my noodle shop at 7 pm. I’m heading there now, and I’ll send you the location when I arrive.”
Shen Jun replied, “Okay.”
When Wen Nian arrived back at the noodle shop, Wen Yu was already there helping out after school. Since it was a Sunday, there weren’t many customers from the nearby office buildings or schools. The only places that could attract customers were the nearby malls and residential buildings, so there weren’t many people around.
After Shen Jun hung up the phone, he checked the address that Wen Nian had sent him. He opened the message and realized that it was less than 100 meters away from his district. Realizing that it was almost time, he quickly changed his clothes and headed out.
Bowl of Noodles Noodle Shop
As Wen Nian turned around, he caught a glimpse of silver in Wen Yu’s hair. He was taken aback and exclaimed, “Oh my god! Brother, you have white hair now!”
Upon hearing Wen Nian’s comment, Wen Yu quickly turned on the front camera of his phone. He pulled at his hair anxiously and asked, “Where? Where is it?!”
Wen Nian slapped Wen Yu’s hand away. “Take your claws away. I’ll look for them for you.”
As Shen Jun stood at the door, he didn’t expect to witness Wen Nian behaving so intimately with the boy he had eaten with during his last visit to the noodle shop. Shen Jun felt a sudden heaviness in his chest and lost his appetite, so he turned around and left.
Wen Yu sat cooperatively on a chair as Wen Nian inspected his hair. “Make sure you don’t miss anything and don’t make a mistake,” he said. “Why do I have white hair… Ow!”
Wen Nian plucked the white hair and showed it to Wen Yu. He said with a teasing tone, “See, the evidence is irrefutable. You’re finished. You’ve entered the white-haired stage of old age prematurely.”
Wen Yu took the strand of white hair with a long face. How could his once-black hair turn white so suddenly?!
Although Wen Nian didn’t know the reason behind Wen Yu’s sudden white hair, she remembered that two years later, Wen Yu no longer had any white hair.
She figured that it was probably just a temporary phenomenon. Despite seeing Wen Yu holding the white hair and lamenting the loss of his youth, she couldn’t help but find it amusing and didn’t offer any consolation.
For a man, this was a trivial matter.
Wen Nian was busy at the front desk, occasionally helping to collect empty bowls. She waited until 7:10 pm when Zhou Mei brought the dishes to the table, but she didn’t see Shen Jun.
Zhou Mei asked, “Your classmate hasn’t arrived yet? Oh dear, I’ll start cooking early then. The dishes won’t taste as good if they get cold!”
Wen Nian was about to make a call when she noticed a WeChat message that was sent 20 minutes ago.
Shen Jun had sent a WeChat message that read: “I’m sorry. Something came up at the last minute and I won’t be able to make it. Thank you for your kindness in treating me. Please don’t wait for me.”
Wen Nian let out a soft sigh. It seemed like treating him to a meal was not going to be easy. “Mom, my classmate had something come up and won’t be able to make it.”
Zhou Mei felt a little regretful that she couldn’t thank him in person. “It’s fine. Bring him over next time when he’s free, and I’ll make some dishes for you.”
At the beginning of the new week, Wen Nian began following her new study plan.
Wen Nian had just finished her night lessons when she received a WeChat message.
Bai Zheng: Wen Nian, the school’s anniversary is in a few days. Are you really not participating? It’s not too late for me to add a show now. If it’s any later, I really won’t be able to do anything.”
Wen Nian didn’t expect Bai Zheng to still be thinking about this. She smiled helplessly.
Wen Nian: Thank you for your kind intentions. We’re about to enter the revision stage of the third year of high school, and I just want to study hard now and not think about anything else.
Looking at Wen Nian’s reason for rejection, Bai Zheng felt a little regretful that he couldn’t bring such a good piece of work to the stage, like last time.
Bai Zheng: Alright, I hope you can learn and improve!
Bai Zheng opened the clip from last time. In the end, he couldn’t help but share this video with a niche circle on the Internet, filled with friends who really liked music and filmed these arts.
On the streets of the capital.
A sharp-faced man with long hair and sunglasses was leaning against the wall of the busiest alley in the south building. His gaze kept scanning the crowd, but his eyes were fixed on the girl.
“Police, it’s him! I’ve been watching this hooligan for half an hour. He’s been specifically targeting beautiful girls and even sizing them up. He must have ulterior motives! He might even have a criminal record. There’s definitely something wrong!”
An auntie was holding onto two police officers and pointing at the man as she shouted angrily..
