Chapter 112
Chapter 112: She Has Me in Her Heart!
January 30th.
There are only a few days left until the Spring Festival this year, and everyone has officially entered the holiday.
As expected, the weather forecast was unreliable. Just a few days after saying that, the cold wave receded, and the temperature quickly rose again.
Mom and Father Wen were busy at home, preparing for the Spring Festival.
First, they had to clean the inside and outside of the house, and then they had to buy some important New Year goods in advance.
When Wen Yu got up in the morning to help, he saw that the next door, the Fu family, was also bustling about, with Mr. and Mrs. Fu also busy.
Mrs. Fu was about to throw away some garbage, and Wen Yu happened to see her, so he hurried forward to take it.
Mrs. Fu was a little surprised, “Xiao Yu, you’ve grown up, getting up so early to help!”
Wen Yu smiled and said, “I’ve been sleeping well these past two days, so I’m feeling energetic. It’s uncomfortable to stay still.”
Mrs. Fu pretended to be angry, “Qiao’er is still sleeping now, she can’t even be woken up! Xiao Yu, you should teach her a lesson!”
Wen Yu offered to help, “Auntie Fu, do you have any other garbage to throw away? If not, I’ll go downstairs.”
“Go ahead.”
After Wen Yu left, Mrs. Fu turned to her husband and whispered.
“Xiao Yu seems to have grown up a bit recently.”
“After all, he’s in her third year of high school.”
“No, I mean, he seems more like an adult now. Our Qiao’er still looks like a child, will she be deceived when she goes to university?”
“Who dares!”
“Why are you shouting!” Mrs. Fu glared at Mr. Fu, “Xiao Yu is becoming more and more reassuring, and his grades seem pretty good too, right?”
Father Fu recalled and nodded, “Exactly! His grades are outstanding now! Their class teacher keeps praising him. I reckon there’s hope for him to rank first in the grade in the second semester of senior year.”
Mother Fu widened her eyes, “Does this mean he has to get into a prestigious university?”
“He’s definitely going to get in!”
“Sigh… The Wen family has raised a good son!” Mother Fu sighed and then pondered, “Xiao Yu also has fair skin, and he’s honest. If he graduates from a prestigious university, there should be plenty of families coming to propose marriage, right?”
Father Fu snorted, “My daughter is no less! Qiao’er’s grades are also improving. She’s definitely top-tier!”
Mother Fu scoffed, “What’s it got to do with you? If Qiao’er has good grades, it’s because of my good genes.”
Father Fu immediately started mumbling, muttering to himself, “At least half of it comes from me,” “I was handsome when I was young, and she takes after me in looks,” “You can’t just shout at me like that outside.”
Fu Chengque slept until midday.
Her mother banged on the door outside, and she wrapped herself in the blanket, mumbling, “Get up, get up—”
She didn’t budge.
After a while, she heard her mom scolding, “Sleeping, sleeping, sleeping. You should at least get up to study and review your lessons. If you don’t study, you can help with housework. Look at Xiao Yu next door, he’s already up and helping with chores!”
The girl’s anger flared.
Fine!
Wen Yu, you slightly handsome traitor, you’ve betrayed the nation! You’ve betrayed your queen!
You’re trying to win favor in front of your parents, causing me to be scolded!
She reluctantly got up, glanced at the window opposite, saw no one, and swallowed the scolding words back.
Getting out of bed, she brushed her teeth while enduring another round of scolding. She pretended not to hear it. After washing up, she returned to her room pretending to study but was actually on her phone. In the chat, she and Xiao Gua and the others discussed the specific time and place to meet in the afternoon.
Even if she’s already showing signs of beauty, a little more wouldn’t hurt. Likewise, it’s okay if she fails. Even if she loses a bit, she’s still a little beauty, hehe.
At noon, Mother Fu called for lunch.
Fu Chengque quickly went to the dining table and buried herself in eating.
Mother Fu then said, “Qiao’er, your dad and I are going to buy New Year’s goods this afternoon. Are you coming?”
Fu Chengque looked up, “I’m not going. I’m going to the flower exhibition with friends.”
“What friends, which friends?” Father Fu immediately asked.
“Wen Yu and a few girls who came to our house to study last time!”
“Hmph, come back early.”
Mother Fu said displeased, “What are you hmph-ing about? Eat your meal.”
Then she looked at her daughter, “Qiao’er, this year we’re going to your grandma’s place for the New Year, and we’ll be back on the first day of the lunar new year.”
“Ah? When?”
“On New Year’s Eve, we’ll have the reunion dinner together.”
“Isn’t our family supposed to have the reunion dinner at home?”
“Your grandma’s health has changed a lot this year, she can’t walk anymore, so we’re going to visit her.”
Fu Chengque understood and exclaimed, “Oh, I see.”
After lunch, Mother Fu and Father Fu went out to buy groceries. Fu Chengque leisurely cleaned up and dressed up, happily preparing to go out.
Oh! Right! Let the wise Empress Chengque guess what Wen Yu’s first impression of her will be when she sees her later—
Today’s Chengque looks so beautiful!
The hairstyle and perfume match so well, so beautiful!
She’s wearing the outfit from the day before yesterday, so beautiful!
She’s taking a bit longer to get out today, just in case, let’s add one more: she’s slow to leave, so slow!
Perfect, let’s go!
***
Wen Yu waited for a while before Fu Chengque came out of the house.
As soon as the girl appeared, his gaze was drawn to her—
Fu Chengque was wearing a new pair of earrings, which she bought a few days before New Year’s Day and hadn’t worn until today.
And on her wrist, she was wearing the bracelet he gave her. Although her sleeves were quite long, he could vaguely see it.
But what was strange was that there seemed to be a red string wrapped around the bracelet. Although he didn’t know what it symbolized, his heart started to flutter…
Feeling the gaze, Fu Chengque smiled faintly.
Wen Yu also smiled back and said, “Let’s go.”
Then the two went downstairs.
After waiting for half a minute, the girl felt a little numb inside.
No task prompt!
Oh my god, does Wen Yu still think she’s not pretty?
Even if he didn’t notice the slight changes in her hairstyle and the faint scent of perfume, wouldn’t he comment on the outfit that she wore the day before yesterday?
Why is it like this!
It shouldn’t be like this…
And he didn’t even think she was slow to leave… Did she guess wrong on both counts?
Fu Chengque gritted her teeth with a sense of reluctance and followed.
In the taxi, Fu Chengque couldn’t help but say, “Wen Yu, I changed my hairstyle today…”
Wen Yu looked at her for a moment and exclaimed, “You really did!”
Alright, he really didn’t notice!
But then she heard him continue with a smiling tone, “I didn’t see your hairstyle, but I noticed you’re wearing new earrings, very beautiful. Also, you’re wearing the bracelet I gave you, and there’s a red string wrapped around it. I was just curious, what does the red string mean?”
Fu Chengque sighed inwardly, alright, it turned out Wen Yu’s attention was completely drawn to her earrings and bracelet.
She would have to pay more attention next time.
She rolled up her sleeve slightly and showed it off, saying, “The bracelet you gave me, I wrapped it with a red string. It’s said to bless the person who gave the gift, so now I’m blessing you.”
“Is that so, thoughtful of you,” Wen Yu’s heart stirred slightly.
“Hehe.”
The two didn’t speak anymore. Fu Chengque lowered her head and played with the bracelet for a moment, carefully pulling down her sleeve to cover it. She took out her phone and started texting in the group chat.
Sitting beside her, Wen Yu could clearly see that the earrings were a cluster of small plum blossoms, delicately charming on her small and exquisite ears.
He could also capture her almost perfect profile, her fair face looking flawless, and the faint hint of red on her earlobe, like a blooming plum blossom in the snowy winter, clear and dazzling…
Today’s Chengque, being beautiful was secondary. What was most important was that she wore the bracelet he gave her and even wrapped it with a meaningful red string.
What was this?
This was “her heart has me”!
It’s time to think of a name for the child…
