“Tm pretty good.” Xia Wanyuan sensed the concern in Wei Zimu’s eyes. “What about you?”
Wei Zimu seemed to be especially surprised that Xia Wanyuan would take the initiative to care about him. He could not hide the smile on his face. “I’m quite good, Sister Wanyuan.”
As Wei Zimu spoke, he handed a small box to Xia Wanyuan. “This is for you. I heard from the people over there that it’s delicious.”
Wei Zimu had been on a business trip in Suhang recently. The desserts there were famous for being exquisite. The most famous was the pastry from a hundred-year-old shop, but that shop only provided a hundred boxes a day.
After hearing that, he especially woke up at five in the morning and queued for three hours. Then, he rushed to the airport and brought the dessert back with an ice pack the entire time.
There was still some mist at the edge of the box. It was obvious that he had just taken it out of the ice bag.
“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the cold box. “I remember hearing you say before why you brought snacks from all over the world.”
“Mm.” Wei Zimu nodded with gentleness in his eyes. “In the past, when I was begging on the streets, there was a young lady who would give me a little of her snacks every day. I promised her that when I had money in the future, I would help her collect delicious snacks in the world.”
“You said you didn’t find her.” Seeing the emotions in Wei Zimu’s eyes, Xia Wanyuan lowered her eyes slightly and restrained the expression in them.
“Mm,” Wei Zimu replied softly.
Xia Wanyuan stopped asking, and Wei Zimu stopped talking.
“It’s getting late. I’ll go back first.” From afar, Xia Wanyuan had already seen the car that had come to pick her up.
“Okay.” Wei Zimu smiled. “I’m going on a business trip. Goodbye, Sister Wanyuan. I’l bring you delicious food when I come back next time.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded and walked towards the Phantom with the box.
Wei Zimu stood rooted to the ground and watched the Phantom gradually disappear into the distance. Only when it turned into a small dot did he tun around and walk to the convenience store beside him.
“Boss, thank you for helping me look after my luggage.” Wei Zimu smiled gently and handed the boss a hundred-dollar bill, which made the boss thank him profusely.
After receiving the luggage, Wei Zimu walked in the opposite direction.
The owner of the convenience store looked at Wei Zimu’s disappearing figure and clicked his tongue in wonder. “Say, this young man is strange. He was afraid that the ice bag would not be able to keep it cold, so he sent the gift over the moment he got off the plane. If it were anyone else, they would
definitely carry their luggage and claim credit. This young man is good. It’s as if he’s afraid that others will be grateful to him.”
“Why do you care so much about him? Old man, why are you learning from others to gossip? Hurry and bring me a cloth!”
Only then did the convenience store owner retract his gaze and send a rag to his wife with a smile.
Not far away, Wei Zimu’s tall figure became even more bleak under the setting sun.
In the car, seeing that Jun Shiling was staring at the pastry in her hand, Xia Wanyuan pushed him in amusement. “What kind of look is that? This was given to me by Wei Zimu. He bought it himself and brought it back. If I don’t accept it, won’t I be letting him down?”
“Of course I know that it was sent by Wei Zimu.” Jun Shiling stared at the box as if he wanted to bore a hole in it.
After looking at the dessert box for a long time, Jun Shiling finally retracted his gaze and reached out to Xia Wanyuan. “Come here, let me hug you.”
Xia Wanyuan also reached out her hand, but Jun Shiling stopped her with a look. “Put that box aside. It’s hurting me.”
Xia Wanyuan put the box aside, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Then, Jun Shiling hugged her.
After returning to the manor, Jun Shiling surprisingly did not stick to Xia Wanyuan. Instead, he handed her a rare ancient book.
“Study this here. I’m going to test you later.” Jun Shiling pulled out a stool in the study for Xia Wanyuan and pressed her down on the chair.
“Jun Shiling, what are you playing at this time??” Xia Wanyuan felt that there must be a reason for the abnormality. Normally, when she was reading, Jun Shiling would insist on pestering her, but today, he was actually willing to let her be alone.
“Is there anything wrong with letting you study? Sit properly. There will be punishment if you fail the test later.” Speaking of punishment, Jun Shiling’s eyes flickered for a moment as he looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully, causing her to glare at him.
“Leave quickly.”
Jun Shiling smiled and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead, then closed the study door.
Xia Wanyuan flipped through the book in her hand. It was really a rare good book. It immediately attracted Xia Wanyuan’s gaze.
By the time Xia Wanyuan was halfway through the door, it was still quiet. Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It had been two hours since Jun Shiling left.
Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. That was strange. What was Jun Shiling up to?
Xia Wanyuan put down her book and followed the voice downstairs.
Looking at Jun Shiling’s actions from afar, Xia Wanyuan was surprised.
“Jun Shiling, what are you doing?”
