Chapter 125 Cannon Fodder Campus White Moonlight 7
Wen Xuheng suddenly stopped in his tracks: "I..."
Wang Fang placed the dishes on the dining table and asked him, "Have you finished your homework?"
"finished."
"So, do I not need to give Yuxin video tutoring today?"
"She usually contacts me after meals."
"I see." Wang Fang wiped her hands on her apron.
"Then go wash your hands quickly and call your dad to eat together. If you eat early, he can help Yuxin with her homework."
"mom……"
Wen Xuheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Wang Fang asked, looking at him.
Wen Xuheng paused for a moment, then shook his head: "It's okay, I'll go call Dad for dinner now."
He turned around and went to his room to call his father out for dinner. Then he took the opportunity to go back to his own room and send a message to Qi Ning on his phone.
"Ningning, why did Han Yuchen bring you back? Are you alright?"
He had just sent the message when he heard Wang Fang yell at him, "Xuheng, what are you still dawdling in your room for? Why aren't you coming out to eat?"
Wen Xuheng immediately responded, "Coming."
His parents were very strict with him in every aspect, including not only his studies but also his daily life.
For example, you can't watch TV or use your phone while eating.
Wen Xuheng had no choice but to put down his phone and go out for dinner.
However, he was somewhat absent-minded while eating today, constantly wondering if Qi Ning had replied to his message.
He couldn't help but eat faster, wanting to finish quickly and go back to his room.
Wang Fang glanced at him several times, then put a piece of food into his bowl with her chopsticks: "Eat slowly, why are you wolfing it down today?"
Wen Xuheng paused, holding his chopsticks, and said, "I'm too hungry today."
"Even if you're hungry, don't eat too fast, or you'll upset your stomach."
"Ah."
Wen Xuheng responded and slowed down a bit, but it was still much faster than usual.
He quickly finished his bowl and stood up, saying, "Mom and Dad, I'm full. You can continue eating."
After saying that, he took the empty bowl to the kitchen sink, then slipped into his room and slammed the door shut.
Wen Xuheng's room cannot be locked from the inside, and his parents don't even allow him to close the door normally.
Upon hearing the door close, Wang Fang immediately put down her chopsticks: "Why is this child closing the door? I'll go check on it."
"Hey." Wen Qiming stopped her. "What are you looking at? He should be in a hurry to go back and video chat with Yuxin. Don't keep such a close eye on him, or Yuxin will have a problem with our son."
Wang Fang's expression softened after hearing Wen Qiming's words.
She picked up her chopsticks again, both happy and worried: "These two kids, could they be secretly dating behind our backs?"
Wen Qiming immediately laughed: "If they really are dating, wouldn't that be great? With a daughter-in-law like Han Yuxin and in-laws like the Han family, aren't you satisfied?"
"I am satisfied, but I'm worried about my son's studies."
"Don't worry, our son's grades aren't the most important thing now. The most important thing is that he can make Yuxin happy. If he can really marry Yuxin in the future, will his future be any better?"
"That's true."
The couple became happier and happier as they talked about this topic.
However, Wen Xuheng did not contact Han Yuxin as they expected.
As soon as he entered the room, he picked up his phone from the table.
Unfortunately, Qi Ning has not yet replied.
Just as he was holding his phone, hesitating whether to find an excuse to go out, Qi Ning finally replied to him.
Almost as soon as the screen lit up, Wen Xuheng clicked on it with lightning speed, only to find that Qi Ning had only replied with two words: "It's nothing".
They didn't say anything else.
Is it really okay?
Wen Xuheng sat at his desk, his heart pounding with anxiety.
He didn't emerge from the room until the next morning, looking exhausted.
As soon as Wang Fang saw him, she said, "Son, breakfast is ready. Remember to eat it on the table. Your dad and I both have things to do today, so we can't take you to school. You can go by yourself."
Wen Xuheng's heart skipped a beat, but he calmly replied, "I understand, Mom."
After giving her instructions, Wang Fang went out with Wen Qiming.
Wen Xuheng didn't go to eat breakfast right away. Instead, he went to the window and saw with his own eyes that his parents had indeed left.
He then tidied himself up and casually grabbed a bottle of milk from the dining table.
As he ran downstairs, he saw Qi Ning's figure not far ahead.
"Ningning, wait for me."
Qi Ning stopped and looked back at him.
Wen Xuheng, being tall and long-legged, caught up with him in just a few steps.
He handed the milk in his hand to Qi Ning: "Here you go."
Qi Ning glanced at the bottle of fresh milk and shook her head: "No, this must have been prepared for you by your aunt. You can drink it yourself."
Wen Xuheng hesitated, then had no choice but to take the milk back.
He walked side by side with Qi Ning, glancing at her expression.
"You... why was Han Yuchen the one who brought you back yesterday? Did he bully you again?"
Upon hearing the word "again," Qi Ning looked up at him and asked, "What do you mean 'again'? When have you ever seen him bully me?"
"There's none?"
Wen Xuheng reached out and grabbed Qi Ning's wrist: "Ningning, don't keep everything to yourself. Tell me, and I can help you."
Qi Ning chuckled: "How are you going to help me? Tell the teacher, or plead with Han Yuxin?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Xuheng was speechless for a moment.
He knew that people of their status couldn't do anything to the Han family, and even the teachers couldn't do anything to them.
Qi Ning smiled slightly again, and she changed to a relaxed tone: "I was just kidding you. Actually, I'm fine and I don't need your help."
"Also, I was in danger yesterday, and Han Yuchen happened to appear and help me, then brought me back. Speaking of which, I should thank him; he's not such a bad person."
"Really?" Wen Xuheng was skeptical of her words.
"Of course it's true. Okay, let's go, or we'll be late."
After Qi Ning finished speaking, she broke free from Wen Xuheng's hand and walked towards the bus stop.
Wen Xuheng lingered for a moment, watching Qi Ning's retreating figure for quite a while before quickly following after her.
-
After school that day, Han Yuchen and his friends slowly walked out of the classroom, not as anxious as they had been the previous two days.
The main thing is that once the excitement of racing wore off, he found it boring and didn't want to play anymore.
Today they decided to play basketball.
On the way to the basketball court, Han Yuchen's little follower was still asking him, "Brother Chen, where did you go yesterday? Why did you disappear for so long?"
"Yeah, Brother Chen, we thought something had happened to you, and we almost called the police."
Han Yuchen scoffed, "What could possibly be wrong with me? It's just that you guys were driving too slowly, and I got bored waiting for you, so I took a walk around to kill some time."
That being said, when yesterday's events were mentioned, Han Yuchen naturally thought of Qi Ning.
