“My grandmother is doing fine, Little Aunt. Don’t use the tone of an old lady to chat with me. When you started asking about my grandmother in that tone, I really couldn’t adapt. I even felt like kneeling down to answer your question.”
Zhao Yuyao joked with Wen Xin. He knew Wen Xin knew his grandmother, but he was not used to the way she asked it.
“Oh, Zhao Yuyao, don’t block me from talking to Sister Xin. Sister Xin. Do you know that when I was in the third mock exam, I had already entered the provincial key school? If nothing unexpected happens in my college entrance examination, I can also attend Beijing school. My mom said that when you have time, she must treat you to dinner. Without you, I might still be at the bottom!”
Qin Ling pushed Zhao Yuyao aside eagerly. They finally saw Wen Xin and wanted to chat with her.
Mu Chengxi was also squeezed out by the students of Class 20 at this time and could only watch Wen Xin being surrounded.
Wen Huai, Tan Xingyue, Ling Xuer, and others were in the same exam venue. Liang Luoyu volunteered to pick them up, so they arrived later. When they walked in, they saw Wen Xin being surrounded by the crowd.
Wen Huai walked past the lively crowd and went straight to Mu Chengxi’s side, looking at Mu Chengxi seriously with eyes as dark and bright as Wen Xin’s.
“I want to go for special training. I know you have contacts with the Ou family in Beijing. Help me get into the Ou family’s base.”
Wen Huai’s tone was not polite when speaking to Mu Chengxi, and there was even a sense of entitlement.
“Let’s talk about this when we get home.”
Mu Chengxi casually pulled over a chair and calmly sat down, speaking to Wen Huai. Wen Huai’s request took him somewhat by surprise.
Seeing Mu Chengxi’s actions, Wen Huai guessed that Mu Chengxi had already made arrangements for this matter, but he didn’t know if his sister knew about it.
Seeing Wen Xin surrounded by the crowd without any signs of impatience, Mu Chengxi could tell that Wen Xin genuinely liked these kids from Class 20.
Probably because of the identities of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, the dishes were served exceptionally quickly.
When the classmates saw the waiters starting to serve the dishes, they all left Wen Xin’s side one after another and returned to their seats.
After everyone was seated, Zhao Yuyao stood first, holding a bottle and walking to Wen Xin’s side.
“Today is a special day. Our twelve years of hard work in studying have ended today. Speaking of twelve years of hard work, I feel like I wasted my time in the first eleven years. If it weren’t for my Little Aunt and that old witch betting, I might never understand the joy of studying!”
“Little Aunt pulled me back from the cliff’s edge. Tan Xingyue, Wen Huai, and all the classmates’ help gave me the confidence to participate in the college entrance examination.”
“In every late-night study session, I wondered, if I hadn’t met you all, what could I do after the college entrance examination? Would I only be able to go to a university where money can get me in? After graduating from that university, what could I do?”
“Thankfully, I met you all…”
“Little Aunt, thank you for pulling me up at the last moment. Otherwise, I might really have been a waste.”
Zhao Yuyao’s sudden earnestness made everyone feel somewhat uncomfortable. Everyone thought Zhao Yuyao was a carefree teenager; even Wen Xin didn’t think he would think so much.
His words made everyone turn serious.
Wen Xin lifted the drink before her and chuckled, “You’re putting me on such a high pedestal all of a sudden. I really feel unworthy. Since you’re so sincere, let me drink with you.”
With that, Wen Xin lightly tapped her glass against Zhao Yuyao’s glass.
“Sister Xin, I also want to thank you…”
After Zhao Yuyao and Wen Xin clinked glasses, Qin Ling also stood up excitedly. Zhao Yuyao’s words were what he wanted to say too. Although he hadn’t thought about it as much, after Zhao Yuyao said it, that’s how things really were. Without Wen Xin, they wouldn’t have today or their future.
“Sister Xin, and me!”
“And me…”
“And me!”
“Sister Xin, we all know that the information in Mr. Yang’s hands was sent by you. Although you’re not in our class, we can feel your kindness towards us every day. Sister Xin, we, Class 20, thank you!”
Miao Xianhe was the class monitor of Class 20, and her words were convincing enough for everyone. What she said could represent the students of Class 20. Her gratitude was also echoed by all the students of Class 20.
Wen Xin looked at the classmates who stood up, feeling somewhat at a loss for words. She did so much simply because she liked them, and to thank them for taking care of Tan Xingyue and Wen Huai. Looking at the innocent faces of her classmates, she felt deeply moved. This was probably the most innocent age for them.
As Wen Xin looked at her classmates, who were standing and looking at her, she put away her lazy and indifferent demeanor and stood up, looking sincerely at everyone.
“I feel unworthy of what you all said. I can only congratulate you here and wish you all success in achieving your dreams! No matter which university you go to in the future, I hope it’s the one you want to attend.”
“Cheers…”
Wen Xin picked up the glass of wine in front of Mu Chengxi and herself. She knew that if she drank this glass, she might not be able to play with them for long. However, the atmosphere was at this point—she could not express her true feelings without drinking. She raised her glass and drank the wine in one gulp.
After Wen Xin finished the drink, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked down at the glass and then at the casually sitting Mu Chengxi beside her.
She raised an eyebrow at Mu Chengxi, wanting to know when he had switched the white wine in the glass with mineral water, which instantly made her emotional state uncertain.
“Sister Xin, Mr. Yang just sent a message saying he’ll be here soon!”
Miao Xianhe held her phone with some excitement. They had wanted to invite Mr. Yang before, but they were afraid everyone would not be able to enjoy themselves if their homeroom teacher would be there, so they didn’t. Now that Mr. Yang was coming over on his own, she suddenly felt very happy.
“Well, let’s eat slowly and wait for Mr. Yang. Although we’re liberated today, we still need to drink in moderation. I’m the one arranging to take you all home later.”
“Sister Xin, rest assured, we promise not to cause any trouble for you!”
The group of boys had already begun to let loose. They were inherently passionate, and their enthusiasm was not easily controlled.
Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, discussing where they would travel for vacation after graduation.
In this lively atmosphere, only Mu Chengxi was diligently helping Wen Xin with the dishes, his concern was only about whether Wen Xin could eat her fill..
