Along the way, Xie Sili chatted warmly with Wenxin for a long time.

Listening to Xie Sili recount various elegant and interesting anecdotes about life, Wen Xin'er's cheeks flushed, and her resolve grew stronger; Xie Sili was the one she had been searching for.

He's witty, humorous, and refined—definitely better than that rough, uncouth man from the compound.

Moreover, I've heard that Xie Sili is quite influential. If I could date him, I'd definitely be able to outshine Shen Lu.

"What are you thinking about, Miss Wen? I've noticed you've been spacing out."

Xie Sili turned his head to ask.

"It's nothing, I just miss home." Wenxin blushed for a moment, then made up a random excuse to brush it off.

"May I have the opportunity to exchange translation experiences with Comrade Wen?"

"good……"

Wenxin'er's mind was in turmoil as she thought of Shen Lu. She didn't pay attention to the steps and tripped, falling forward.

"what……"

Just as Wenxin felt she was about to land, Xie Sili grabbed her waist.

After helping Wenxin up, Xie Sili looked embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Miss Wen, I was worried you would fall, I was in such a hurry that..."

Wenxin stood up, her cheeks flushed, her heart pounding, her mind filled with the image of the man rescuing her.

"It's okay."

Wenxin looked away nervously, afraid that Xie Sili would notice her unusual behavior.

"I'll take you back," Xie Sili said.

Wenxin nodded, and the two remained silent the whole way, an ambiguous atmosphere lingering between them.

Shen Lu returned home in the evening.

She put the wad of cash from her pocket into the savings box, and looking at the full stack of ten-yuan notes, Shen Lu slowly felt a sense of security.

Shen Lu sat down on the bench and started counting the money.

"Tui... ten yuan, twenty,... two hundred and ninety, three hundred."

She translated a lot this week, and the dean gave her a full three hundred yuan!

Adding the money her mother had repaid her before, and the money she earned from translation in the past few weeks, her savings will soon exceed two thousand.

Shen Lu wished she could jump up and bounce around a couple of times.

Unfortunately, it's difficult for her to buy clothes. She's still on a weight loss journey, and buying clothes is too expensive. Although she's been working hard to lose weight these days, she's lost more than 30 pounds in a month.

However, as the weather gets warmer, it's time to wear skirts.

The oversized clothes in her wardrobe now fit her loosely.

Shen Lu had learned a lot of sewing techniques from Gu Xiaohua these past few days, so she decided to do it herself and alter her oversized skirts to make them smaller.

Shen Lu took out a dress that belonged to the original owner from the closet.

Although the female lead is overweight, she has a particular fondness for this brightly colored dress.

This dress is made of bright yellow fabric and embroidered with vibrant red peonies.

In Shen Lu's eyes, the floral pattern was nice and flattered her skin tone, but the skirt's cut was terrible, too baggy and lacking any aesthetic appeal.

Shen Lu disassembled it completely and, with her bold modifications, quickly transformed it into a Hong Kong-style A-line skirt with a cinched waist.

Shen Lu couldn't wait to put the dress on and then went to the mirror to admire herself.

Even though I had mentally prepared myself, I was still surprised by how beautiful I looked in the mirror.

This face is about 80% similar to hers in her previous life, but because the food consumed in this era has no additives, the skin of this body is much smoother.

Shen Lu's strength training these days has made her skin firmer. Although she weighs 140 pounds now, she has been exercising a lot these days, so muscle accounts for a portion of her weight.

In addition, she has a classic pear-shaped figure with a large bust, a small waist, and a pert bottom, making this kind of fitted dress perfect for her.

Shen Lu spun around, admiring her own graceful figure.

Just then, the two little ones came skipping back from outside the door.

After putting the fish they had just caught into the pond to purge them of the mud and sand, Shen Lu told the two little ones to water the vegetables in the yard.

The seedlings in the yard are growing well under Shen Lu's careful care.

When Xiao Ze and Xiao Yu came in, they were stunned to see Shen Lu wearing a floral dress. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief, as they had never seen their mother so beautiful before.

"We caught a lot of fish today, how about we make you some steamed fish?" Shen Lu said with a smile.

The two little ones have already forgotten how to properly idolize Shen Lu.

In their eyes, their mother, who can't catch fish but can cook, is the most amazing mother in the world.

Is she the most amazing mom in the world, or the most beautiful mom in the world?

The two little ones jumped into her arms one after the other. Now they can have close contact with Shen Lu without any psychological pressure.

Shen Lu was very happy about this; for her, all her previous efforts had not been in vain.

Shen Lu gave two of the fish she caught to Li Mei.

At noon, Shen Lu made two steamed fish, one with garlic sauce and the other with fermented black beans.

The two little ones had never eaten such plump and tender fish before, and there wasn't a single piece left.

After Shen Lu woke up from her afternoon nap, the doorman informed her that there was mail for her at the post office.

After entrusting the two children to Li Mei's care, Shen Lu set off for the post office.

As Shen Lu walked, she looked everyone over, constantly thinking about how to make money.

With China's economy developing rapidly in the coming decades, as the saying goes, even a pig can fly if it stands at the right place at the right time. She absolutely cannot lie low in this era where gold is everywhere.

She plans to start with what she's good at.

In her original world, Shen Lu inherited a large fortune, and all her relatives and friends were eyeing her covetously.

The only two times she opened her heart to others, both ended in betrayal. Whether it was those who pursued her or those who befriended her, they were all after her vast wealth.

Due to her unique experiences, Shen Lu closed herself off, became unwilling to trust anyone, and devoted all her time and energy to the things she loved.

My daily routine consists of cooking and studying.

Shen Lu achieved exceptionally high grades, skipping grades to complete her studies at the best university in China and earning two bachelor's degrees. She then went abroad for three years to study and earned her master's and doctoral degrees from the world's number one ranked university.

Therefore, the most suitable jobs for her are running a restaurant, as well as various jobs that involve studying.

However, she doesn't have enough money to open a restaurant right now, and the college entrance examination will be held in two years. The most important thing right now is to save money to open a restaurant while preparing for the college entrance examination.

In terms of her studies, she could perhaps focus on improving her study materials.

Shen Lu thought to herself that she would go to the restaurant and bookstore later to find out what was going on.

Shen Lu first went to the post office to check her mail.

Shen Lu arrived at the post office, and the postman handed her a letter. Shen Lu quickly took it out, opened it, and found a secluded spot to read it.

The man's handwriting was strong and vigorous, filling three or four pages.

Shen Lu read it carefully.
