Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Wang Ma listened from the side. Although she didn't understand much about these things on the Internet, she always had a concerned smile on her face and asked curiously:
"Miss, Mr. Chen, are you planning to build a website?"

Chen Chen smiled and said:

"Yes, we plan to open a comics website called 'Fantasy Comics'."

Wang Ma seemed to understand, nodded repeatedly, gave a thumbs-up and said:

"You two are amazing. You can even handle something as complex as creating a website. I'm sure you can make this website a success!"

Chen Chen responded with a smile:

"It's not just Xiaoxi and I who are involved in the website. Our roommates are all involved. But I'll still give you my blessing, Aunt Wang."

Wang Ma said with a look of satisfaction, "It's great that you young people have come together and worked together to do something. It feels like success is waving at you!"

"Auntie Wang, you really know how to talk."

The three of them ate and talked, laughing constantly.

After dinner, Chen Chen and Lin Muxi returned to their seats and continued to complete the unfinished work.

Mother Wang deftly cleared the dishes on the dining table one by one, and then carefully cleaned the house.

After everything was packed up, she walked lightly to Chen Chen and Lin Muxi and said respectfully and gently:

"Miss, Mr. Chen, I'm done here and will go back first."

After hearing the voice, Chen Chen took the time to raise his head, with a concerned smile on his face, and said:

"Okay, Aunt Wang, be careful on your way back and stay safe."

A kind smile appeared on Wang Ma's face, and she continued:

"I've also prepared some midnight snacks in the kitchen. If you're hungry tonight, just heat them up in the pot and you can eat them."

Lin Muxi stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Aunt Wang, for being so thoughtful."

"Then I'll leave first."

After saying this, Aunt Wang turned around gently and left with light steps.

With the departure of Aunt Wang, the whole house gradually became quiet, leaving only Chen Chen and Lin Muxi immersed in their own thoughts and work.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally came back to their senses from their busy thoughts.

Only then did I realize that the originally bright sky outside the window had now become completely dark. The night was like a huge piece of black silk, gently wrapping the world.

Chen Chen rubbed his sore eyes and looked at Lin Muxi. He saw that she also looked tired but was still concentrating on the unfinished painting on the drawing board.

He said softly:
"Xiaoxi, take a break. You've been busy for so long. Don't tire yourself out."

Lin Muxi shook his head slightly, his eyes still fixed on the drawing board, and said:
"Wait a little longer, I want to finish this part, otherwise I'll always feel worried about it."

Chen Chen smiled helplessly, stood up, walked to the window, and gently pulled open a corner of the curtain.

The streets outside are brightly lit, cars are constantly flowing, and the city night is prosperous and lively.

His life is no longer monotonous because he has a goal.

Because of Lin Muxi, I am no longer confused.

After a while, Lin Muxi finally put down his paintbrush and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally finished."

When Chen Chen heard the voice, he stopped what he was doing, turned around and walked to Lin Muxi.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes falling on the paintings that Lin Muxi had just completed, examining them carefully one by one.

The lines in the paintings are delicate and lively, and the colors are interwoven to create a dreamlike scene. Each painting seems to have a unique soul leaping in it.

The characters in the painting are portrayed vividly, and the emotions expressed in their eyes are delicate and subtle, sometimes gentle, sometimes resolute, sometimes smart, as if they will walk out of the painting at any time. Chen Chen couldn't help but show an expression of amazement, his eyes full of admiration:

"Xiaoxi, your paintings are so beautiful! It's as if I can see myself through these paintings."

Lin Muxi's pretty face turned slightly red, and she thought, that's natural.

Because when I was drawing these characters, I was thinking of you.

Chen Chen didn't notice the subtle change in Lin Muxi's eyes.

At this moment, his attention was completely attracted by the mobile phone.

He looked at the flashing caller ID on the screen and couldn't help muttering to himself:
"Why is my mom calling so late?"

After returning to Jiangcheng after the Chinese New Year, Chen Chen's mother would send him messages from time to time, asking about his life, study and other aspects.

Chen Chen would sometimes take the initiative to call home and share his experiences here with his mother.

However, in the past, most of these exchanges took place during the day, and it was extremely rare to receive a call late at night like this.

Chen Chen looked at Lin Muxi with a hint of apology and said softly:
"Xiaoxi, I have to take a call first."

Lin Muxi smiled gently and nodded slightly:

"Go and pick it up."

Chen Chen pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear, with a hint of doubt in his tone:
"Mom, it's so late, what's going on?"

The familiar voice of Ms. Liu came from the other end of the phone:

"Isn't Qingming Festival coming soon? Your dad asked me to ask you if you will be back for Qingming Festival?"

"It's almost Qingming Festival, isn't it?"

Chen Chen was slightly stunned. He had been devoted to various things during this period of time and had completely forgotten about this matter.

Ms. Liu continued on the phone:

"Yes. My family has already planned to visit the graves and pay respects to our ancestors on Qingming Festival. If you are too busy and can't make it back, that's fine."

Chen Chen thought for a moment and said, "Mom, it might be a bit rushed to visit the grave on Qingming Festival. I'm not sure if I can buy a ticket."

"Okay, as long as you have this intention. Jiangcheng is indeed far away, so you don't have to make it too difficult for yourself. By the way, how is Xiaoxi? Is she with you?"

Chen Chen's mouth corners slightly raised: "Xiaoxi is with me."

As Chen Chen spoke, he looked towards Lin Muxi's position, but saw that she was also on the phone, so he said to Ms. Liu:

"She's on the phone now. I'll call back with her some other day. You and Dad should take care of yourselves at home."

"That's fine. Be nice to Xiaoxi and don't bully her, okay? If you come back, tell your family in advance so your dad and I can prepare."

Ms. Liu finished her speech and gave a reminder with a smile.

"I understand, Mom. You and Dad should go to bed early." Chen Chen said.

Chen Chen hung up the phone, and Lin Muxi had just finished speaking.

Lin Muxi looked at Chen Chen, his eyebrows curved, and said with a smile: "Senior, I have something to tell you."

Chen Chen nodded slightly, his eyes soft: "I also have something to tell you, you go first."

A faint blush appeared on Lin Muxi's cheeks, and her tone was a little shy and expectant:
"My dad asked me to bring you home to have dinner with him this weekend. Do you... have time?"

Chen Chen smiled and said, "Since my future father-in-law has invited me, of course I have time. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Lin Muxi glared at him and asked, "Senior, what did you want to tell me just now?" (End of this chapter)
