Shen Jun slid Wen Nian’s room card into the card reader and unlocked the door to her guest room.
Wen Xing, noticing that Wen Nian hadn’t responded despite the late hour, was just about to give her a call when he caught sight of Shen Jun carrying her into the room.
Wen Xing hurriedly approached and observed Wen Nian’s peaceful sleeping face. Without wasting any time, he turned around and swiftly opened Wen Nian’s door.
Shen Jun carefully laid Wen Nian down on the bed and proceeded to gently remove her outer clothes and pants.
Wen Xing was taken aback and swiftly intervened, putting a halt to Shen Jun’s actions. He glanced at Shen Jun with a cautious expression. “There’s a distinction between men and women. Let me take care of it. You should step outside for now.”
Shen Jun straightened up and looked at Wen Xing’s waist. “Uncle, are you sure you can bend down now?”
Wen Xing hesitated for a moment, realizing that his previously injured back had significantly improved after the treatment. However, he suddenly remembered the doctor’s advice, instructing him to avoid any strenuous movements for the time being.
However, a solution quickly dawned on Wen Xing. “Go and find a waitress to assist us,” he suggested to Shen Jun.
Shen Jun suppressed the irritation in his eyes and forced a smile at Wen Xing. “Sure.”
As Shen Jun maintained a smiling facade, Wen Xing couldn’t shake off a faint sense of unease creeping up his spine. However, he quickly dismissed his apprehensions, attributing them to his previous back sprain and its associated complications.
Shen Jun agreed and went out to call for help.
Recalling his mother’s elaborate skincare routine before bedtime, Shen Jun rummaged through the items on the dressing table next to the bed. Although he couldn’t discern the specific effects of the various bottles and jars, he knew he should at least remove Wen Nian’s makeup.
Shen Jun found the makeup remover and handed it to the waitress. He said in a low voice, “Please help remove jer makeup.”
The waitress, a young girl, blushed upon seeing Shen Jun’s handsome face. “Okay,” she replied shyly.
Wen Xing and Shen Jun exited Wen Nian’s room. Reflecting on Shen Jun’s actions earlier, Wen Xing couldn’t help but inquire, “Young man, you seem quite knowledgeable. Do you have a girlfriend?”
Shen Jun hesitated for a moment, then replied with a natural expression, “Yes.”
Wen Xing felt a sense of relief upon hearing Shen Jun’s response. Despite his appreciation for Shen Jun’s assistance and growing fondness for him, Wen Xing was resolute in his determination not to let Wen Nian get involved in a romantic relationship at such a young age.
Therefore, when Wen Xing witnessed Shen Jun attentively tending to Wen Nian, his heart skipped a beat. Knowing that Shen Jun already had a girlfriend, Wen Xing felt a sense of relief wash over him.
Observing Wen Xing’s expression, Shen Jun could already discern his stance on Wen Nian’s potential romantic interest. Understanding that it wasn’t the appropriate moment to reveal his own relationship, he decided to keep it concealed for now. “Uncle, 1’11 head back to my room first,” he said, bidding Wen Xing farewell.
Wen Xing smiled warmly as he escorted Shen Jun out of the room.
The following day, while Wen Nian took some much-needed rest, Shen Jun utilized the time to provide her with additional lessons and guidance.
Recognizing the importance of not hindering Wen Nian’s classes, Wen Xing instructed her to request Xu Chang’s assistance in arranging transportation to the hospital for his final treatment.
In that moment, Shen Jun was providing tutoring to Wen Nian in her room, focusing solely on their academic discussions. After two hours of intense learning, they decided to take a short break.
Coincidentally, the staff members who had come to pick up Wen Xing arrived at that very moment. Prior to his departure, Wen Xing exchanged greetings with both Shen Jun and Wen Nian before taking his leave.
As the door closed, Wen Nian turned to face Shen Jun and playfully remarked, “This morning, my dad mentioned that you have a girlfriend and advised me to maintain some distance from you to avoid any misunderstandings on her part.”
Upon hearing Wen Nian’s words, Shen Jun’s heart tightened, and he wore a thoughtful expression. He gazed at Wen Nian and inquired, “Will my girlfriend also misunderstand?”
Wen Nian couldn’t help but giggle as she covered her mouth. “You know how it is in China. Parents are concerned that romantic relationships might distract from their children’s studies. How about we announce it once 1 improve my ranking?”
Shen Jun’s gaze softened as he observed Wen Nian’s innocent, blinking eyes, and a smile formed on his face. “It does feel like we’re involved in a secret affair when it’s supposed to be open and honest. It’s like we’re hiding in the shadows. You owe me some compensation for that,” he replied, teasingly.
With that, Shen Jun reached out and tapped his cheek.
The tips of Wen Nian’s ears turned slightly red, indicating her bashfulness. In hindsight, her attraction to Wei Xiao in her previous life was mostly due to the image of the thoughtful and caring gentleman he had deliberately portrayed. She hadn’t truly understood him at all. Looking back now, it all seemed hollow and unreal.
It was akin to the idealized image of a prince that she had concocted in her mind after being captivated by fairy tales during her childhood. Moreover, in her pursuit of her goals, Huang Yue had manipulated and further reinforced Wei Xiao’s feelings, pushing her towards the notion of sacrificing everything for love.
That wasn’t genuine affection towards someone; she was merely infatuated with the romanticized notion of liking him.
Wen Nian felt as though she had been enchanted during that period. In her misguided attempts to gain Wei Xiao’s attention and affection, she had engaged in a series of foolish actions..
