Affectionate trapping

Chapter 37

Coming out of the flower shop, Wen Xi and Shu Tong went straight to the bookstore. Wen Xi ordered two cups of "Love Letter Coffee" and pushed them in front of Shu Tong: "Try it."

Shu Tong pecked slowly, "It's delicious!"

"Really? The boss made it himself, love letter coffee."

"love letter?"

"Yes." She told her what Shen Yuli said last time.

Shu Tong smiled: "It's quite romantic."

"But what's going on with you and him?"

Wen Xi knew that he couldn't escape, but he still pretended to be confused: "What's going on?"

"I remember that you used to turn a blind eye when you saw him, let alone laugh." She flicked her eyes on the two bouquets of flowers: "Now, you even send flowers casually?"

Wen Xi laughed, lowered his eyes to think for a while, and concluded: "The death of Zhou Ge was a big blow to my aunt. I was afraid that she would not make it through, so I went to chat with her every week? Then I communicated more with Shen Yuli, and found that, I may have misunderstood him before, he is actually not as... bad as he appears on the surface."

"He's actually a little friend who's occasionally sensitive but craves attention and love."

Shu Tong's expression became weirder the more he heard it, "Kid?"

"He was taken home later because he lacked love, and then, most of his aunt's attention was on Brother Yu Zhou. It's normal for him to be unhappy. Now that I think about it, he used to have a bad temper. I just want to get attention, but I didn't find the right way, so I feel that he is actually quite pitiful."

Shu Tong rubbed his head and landed on the opposite side of her.

Wen Xi retreated: "What are you doing?"

"I just want to take a good look at what is going on with your loving mother." She was overjoyed: "You are still a child, have you taken a fancy to him?"

Wen Xi patted her away: "What are you thinking, I just treat him as a friend."

Reminiscent of the scene with him before, she added silently in her heart.

An awkward friend who is actually quite gentle and considerate.

Shu Tong sighed and shook his head: "Don't transfer your feelings for Shen Yuzhou to him."

"Why do you say that? There is no such thing as emotional transfer in friendship. Would you put your feelings for me on another woman?"

"Of course not! You are the most important thing in my heart, and no one can replace you."

"Okay, I won't talk anymore." Shu Tong lowered his head and sipped his coffee lightly: "I came here to tell you something."

"Well... have you talked to your uncle and aunt?"

"Smart, Xiaoxixi."

Wen Xi smiled: "How did the talk go?"

"Overall, not bad."

Shu Tong put his arms on her shoulders: "After I went back, I said to them very seriously and calmly according to what you said: 'Mom and Dad, I want to talk to you, please listen to me before publishing it. Opinion, okay?’ Then they were surprised by my appearance, sat across from me, and allowed me to speak.”

"Afterwards, I roughly talked about my thoughts on the future. I said frankly that I haven't seriously thought about my future work, and I don't have too many plans. It can also be said that I am avoiding work. But for my future work I have already thought about the matter of doing a Ph. D. I plan to do what I want to do, what to research, and what to do with my supervisor. I also talked with my supervisor. He said that as long as I follow him to do a Ph. D., he will do well. Take me, he still has a place for further study abroad, he can recommend me to go there."

"Of course, when my mother heard that I was going to study for a Ph. D. and go abroad again, her first thought was how old I am now, and whether I can still get married, so I said, I have become so good and so good-looking. How could it be impossible to get married?"

"After thinking about it, my dad is quite supportive of me. After all, he has such an excellent daughter, and he has a lot of face when he says it out. He said that at work, my colleagues know that I am a graduate student at T University, and they all say he is blessed. He is quite happy. happy."

Wen Xi raised her eyebrows: "You are indeed promising, my mother praised you to me before."

"So what did Auntie say later, did you agree?"

"It's half-agreed, probably because I see that I have certain ideas and goals, and I also realize that I can make my own decisions."

"Hello, this is our new dessert, and it's for you to taste for free." The front desk attendant brought over a plate of pastries.

Shu Tong sat up straight: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Shu Tong squeezed a piece and tasted it: "Mmm... delicious, this shop is so nice, and they even give away pastries, it smells like jasmine, which is very similar to yours."

Wen Xi lowered his head and sniffed his wrist, "Really?"

"You do smell of jasmine, can't you smell it yourself?"

She shook her head, "My shower gel seems to be from Jasmine."

"It's probably marinated, it's quite refreshing."

The two laughed, Shu Tong ate a piece of pastry, and continued: "Also, isn't my mother worried about my life-long event? I said, if you really want to arrange a blind date, let's arrange it. I'll see, I will do it if it feels right." Let’s try to get along, but I’ll have to wait until I finish my graduate studies, because I’ve been busy recently, and it’s not appropriate to neglect others, I said that you can get married even if you’re a PhD student.”

"She is quite happy with my sudden change, but she has other concerns. I just said that I am 26 now, and I will not be [-] even after finishing my Ph.D. A really good partner will not stop me from pursuing excellence. , if he wants to end with me because I am studying for a Ph.D., then there is no need for this person to get along with him."

When her father heard it, he laughed instantly: "Why is my daughter so transparent all of a sudden! That's right, did Xiaoxi tell you?"

Shu Tong spread his hands: "Look, if I say something to surprise them, their first thought is that you taught me."

Wen Xi didn't take credit for this: "I didn't say anything, you realized it all yourself."

"Anyway, if I hadn't talked to you last time, I wouldn't have said that to my parents when I went back. It took me more than ten days to figure out how to tell them."

"As long as the result is good."

Before leaving, the waiter suddenly came over with two cards, "Can I trouble you to write a few words?"

Wen Xi asked: "What to write?"

"Anything is fine." She pointed to the wall behind the coffee, which was covered with colorful cards: "After writing, post it."

Shu Tong understood: "Isn't this just like a post-it note? I'll come first."

She picked up the pen, almost without thinking, and wrote down a few words: Wen Xi and Shu Tong are good friends for life, and they both want to make a fortune!

Wen Xi thought about it and wrote a sentence: Holidays and friends are the two best things in life!
Shu Tong took a look: "That's how you say it."

She smiled and handed over the card: "I didn't say it, but Haruki Murakami said it."

"I can't even remember it after reading it, but you can still remember it, it's amazing."

Wen Xi held her hand: "Let's go."

The two went shopping again, bought two sets of clothes, and after dinner, Shu Tong went back before dark because there was still a group meeting the next morning.

As soon as Wen Xi got home, she went into the bathroom. After walking a lot, she just wanted to take a hot bath and sleep.

Putting on pajamas and lying on the bed, watching the video for half an hour, he suddenly received a call from Shen Yuli.

She picked it up: "Hello?"

It was not my own voice that came from the opposite side: "Hi, are you Mr. Shen's friend?"

"Yes you are?"

"Mr. Shen drank too much with us, and there was no one else around. He didn't say anything when we asked him, so he took his mobile phone and called the person he had contacted recently. Could you please come and pick him up?"

Wen Xi frowned, and pondered: "Okay, please tell me the address."

　Wen Xi: He is just a child who lacks love

　　Shen Yuli: After pretending to be co-author with me for so long, you actually treat me like a child.

　　Shen Yuli: Oh, fine.

　　Vacations and friends are, yes, two of the best things in life.

　　- Haruki Murakami
