Calm

After hanging up, Chen Zixuan handed the phone back to Lin Wei.

“All right, you don’t need to deliver it for him. I’ll go to the County Hospital in a while,”

Chen Zixuan said.

Just two sentences? That’s it?

Lin Wei took the phone in a daze. “Thank you.”

“We’re classmates, you don’t need to be so polite,”

Chen Zixuan said with a smile, shaking his head.

Lin Wei wanted to say more, but at that moment, her phone suddenly lit up again.

It was the same number calling.

Under Chen Zixuan’s encouraging gaze, Lin Wei hesitantly answered the call.

Through the receiver came Yellow Hair’s pleading voice.

“Bro… Big Bro! I was wrong. I didn’t know sister-in-law was delivering food. I won’t dare next time!”

“Please, don’t come to the County Hospital! You hit me pretty hard yesterday. I’m still lying here in the ICU…”

Beep… beep… beep…

In her excitement, Lin Wei accidentally hung up the call.

What did he just call me…? Sister-in-law…?!

Her body temperature gradually rose, and the girl’s cheeks turned rosy.

She was both excited and very shy.

“Did he still want you to keep delivering?”

Chen Zixuan looked at Lin Wei and asked.

If Yellow Hair hadn’t learned his lesson, Chen Zixuan didn’t mind teaching him again.

Fighting is exercise anyway, after all.

“No, he said I didn’t need to deliver anymore. Thank you.”

Lin Wei shook her head and thanked Chen Zixuan again.

“It’s nothing. Disciplining people like that is good for society too.”

Chen Zixuan chuckled. He was telling the truth.

“I’d better talk it over with my family. Delivering food is too tiring.”

Lin Wei sighed, slumping weakly on the table. “I’ve already run into several situations like this. People are just too much.”

“When the woods are big, you get all kinds of birds. Xijiang City has millions of people—a few weirdos aren’t rare,”

Chen Zixuan agreed with a nod.

Lin Wei really had a great figure.

Even while wearing a loose T-shirt and a rustic apron, she stood out. If she wore normal clothes, wouldn’t it be even more eye-catching?

Plus, she wasn’t bad-looking and had a soft personality—that “easily bullied” vibe, so who wouldn’t be tempted to take advantage?

It was just like one of those Japanese movies—gentle housewives who always wind up in “pay-to-view” storylines with repairmen. It was basically the same logic.

Thinking this way, Chen Zixuan felt that Lin Wei’s rustic attire was actually a smart choice.

A few minutes later, the two finished the meal together.

“Can I add you on WeChat? I want to transfer today’s meal money to you.”

Lin Wei picked up her phone, face flushed, a bit embarrassed.

Chen Zixuan thought for a moment—for a sum this small, there was no need to make Lin Wei owe him a favor. So, they added each other on WeChat, and Lin Wei transferred him the meal money.

After Chen Zixuan finished cleaning the disposable dishes from the table, Lin Wei grew a bit anxious. “So, what are we going to do next?”

“I have to go out for something, so I’ll walk you home on the way,”

Chen Zixuan replied.

“Oh…”

The girl nodded, both happy and a little disappointed.

They packed up, and Chen Zixuan sneaked Lin Wei downstairs with him.

They were lucky this time too—still didn’t run into Gu Yanxi.

Exiting the complex gates, since they were heading in different directions, Chen Zixuan said goodbye and parted ways with Lin Wei.

Watching Chen Zixuan leave, Lin Wei lowered her head, looking at the Cinderella-like apron at her chest, feeling deeply dejected.

Am I really that unattractive…?

But thinking about everything that happened today, she couldn’t help but perk up.

Not only did she go to his house—she even had lunch with him, and got his phone number and WeChat…

Come on, Lin Wei! You still have a chance!

With that, she hurriedly took out her phone, found a contact, and sent a long message.

A dozen seconds later, she received a “Go for it!” emoji in reply.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Walking alone for over ten minutes, Chen Zixuan arrived at a phone store and inquired inside—they only had cheap models for a thousand or two, with little memory and unimpressive performance, not much better than what he already had.

Now that he had money, including the payment from Yuewu, there were over two million in his account. If he was going to buy a phone, he might as well get the best.

Forget it, I don’t know much about this—better ask Gu Yanxi when I get back.

With that in mind, Chen Zixuan left the phone shop and opened his phone’s map. After another ten minutes, he arrived at a fishing gear shop.

The owner was an old man with a frosty look. Chen Zixuan picked out a fishing rod costing 900 yuan and started bargaining.

A few minutes later, the old man couldn’t resist, and gave in—final price, 750 yuan.

Carrying his new rod, Chen Zixuan headed toward the convenience store where he used to work.

Uncle Wang didn’t have many hobbies—didn’t smoke or drink, just loved fishing. Even though he rarely caught anything, he was always enthusiastic.

But his wife kept him on a tight leash, and gave him little pocket money. The most expensive rod Uncle Wang owned cost just over 200 yuan.

Whenever he couldn’t catch fish, uncle Wang liked to blame it on his cheap rod—saying if he had a more expensive one, he’d surely haul in a big catch.

That’s why Chen Zixuan decided to buy Uncle Wang a good rod—he’d definitely like it.

After another ten-odd minutes in the blazing noon sun, Chen Zixuan arrived at the store.

Uncle Wang seemed to be out, and the cashier on duty was an unremarkable girl, average in both looks and figure.

Chen Zixuan recognized her—she was a student from a nearby university, working part-time.

“Sister Liu, where did Uncle Wang go?”

Chen Zixuan pushed open the glass door and asked the girl.

The girl looked up at Chen Zixuan, her eyes almost hurting from the dazzling sight.

Where did this cute boy come from? He’s so handsome!

She checked Chen Zixuan out from head to toe before exclaiming, “You’re… Little Chen?”

“Yeah, good afternoon, sister Liu,”

Chen Zixuan greeted with a smile.

“G…good afternoon…”

The girl blushed from being spoken to so suddenly.

No, you’re an experienced university student—how can you be fazed by a high school boy?

Thinking this, she cleared her throat and said, pretending to be calm, “Uncle Wang went out for something—said he’ll be back in half an hour. Do you want to wait?”

“No, I’ve got something to do too, so I’ll be leaving soon.”

Chen Zixuan casually replied, putting the fishing rod on the counter.

Then, he took out his phone and transferred over 300 yuan by QR code.

“What are you doing?” the girl asked, surprised.

“I borrowed 300 yuan from Uncle Wang a few days ago. I’m returning it today. Got him a small gift too—please give it to him for me,”

Chen Zixuan said with a smile.

“All right—I’ll let him know when he’s back.”

The girl nodded, then asked, “Did you find a new part-time job? Maybe I can help recommend a few.”

Chen Zixuan used to be fairly attractive—but now he was even more handsome, and mature in behavior, not childish like his peers. The girl liked him a lot.

Having a high school boy as a little boyfriend sounded quite nice.
