Chapter 127: I'm willing to do anything you need.
Ji Xuan was quite surprised to see him. "When did you arrive?"

Wen Qi stopped in front of her, and just by looking into her eyes, he could tell that something was wrong; she seemed tired and listless.

He reached out and took her bag, asking without replying, "Are you tired?"

Ji Xian shook his head.

She's emotionally exhausted.

My good mood for the day was ruined by those two phone calls.

She hadn't expected Jiao Yan to be interested in her before, but now, she's stuck to her like a leech.

Wen Qi raised his hand and gently touched her furrowed brows, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you having trouble at work?"

"No."

Ji Xian hesitated, not wanting to offend his ears with such a troublesome matter, and ultimately didn't say anything.

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Wen Qi didn't press her further. He took her hand and asked, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"I want to eat beef noodles."

"noodle?"

Ji Xuan turned her head to look at him, "You don't want to eat noodles? Then..."

“Okay.” Wen Qi interrupted her. “I’ll eat whatever you want.”

Ji Xian raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "You're going to eat cilantro with me too?"

Wen Qi looked back at her, "You won't eat it."

Yes, they both agree on the point that they don't eat cilantro.

Ji Xuan insisted on being persistent and asked again, unwilling to give up, "You eat peanut butter too?"

Wen Qi is allergic to peanut butter.

She found out in the second year of their relationship. She made a sandwich with peanut butter in it. Wen Qi didn't know and ate it. He only realized there was peanut butter in it on the second bite.

Then, unsurprisingly, he developed a rash all over his body, and Ji Xian immediately called the family doctor to give him an IV drip.

Later she learned that Wen Qi had a very severe peanut butter allergy.

If Wen Qi had finished that sandwich, it would have been a lethal dose for him.

After hearing this, Ji Xuan was still shaken and covered in cold sweat.

Wen Qi continued to glance at her, his voice gentle and deep, "I'm willing to do anything you need."

Ji Xuan was stunned, his heart was clenched by something, and then it began to beat rapidly, as if it were leaping with joy and surging with excitement.

Could this be interpreted as 'My life is yours'?

She chuckled softly, and the pent-up frustration that had been lingering in her heart was easily dispelled.

When they arrived at the car, Wen Qi opened the passenger door for her. After she got in, he handed her the bag, walked around the front of the car, and got into the driver's seat.

"Where should we eat?" Wen Qi asked.

"There's a pretty good beef noodle shop on the food street behind Peking University. I saw it was still open last time, and the owner hadn't changed."

"On the day of Kyoto University's anniversary celebration?"

Ji Xuan was surprised, remembering that he had said he saw her and Xiao Guxing, and did not deny it, "Yes, we went there to eat hot pot that day."

That was with Xiao Guxing.

That day was also the day Xiao Guxing confessed his feelings!
Wen Qi didn't say anything, just nodded, started the car, and drove in that direction.

It was the weekend, and there weren't too many people coming and going from the school gate, but there were still quite a few. We drove all the way to the parking lot near the food street, parked the car, and walked inside.

Wen Qi naturally took her bag and then held her hand. They entered the alley and walked for a few minutes before arriving at the noodle shop. The environment was certainly not as luxurious as a Michelin-starred restaurant, but it was also very simple, and the tables and chairs were very clean.

Ji Xuan ordered the restaurant's signature beef noodles, and the owner then looked at Wen Qi.

There were seven wooden plaques by the window, each with a different noodle on it. Wen Qi said calmly, "The same as hers."

It was lunchtime, and although there were some empty tables in the restaurant, there weren't many, and the number of customers was still considerable.

The two sat down near the wall, and Wen Qi casually asked, "Did you often come to this place when you were in school?"

"Yeah, I guess so. Sometimes when I don't want to eat the cafeteria food, I come here with Wanwan. Besides this shop, there was also a rice noodle shop, but it seems to have been replaced by a roast goose restaurant."

Wen Qi stopped there and didn't ask any more questions.

He was afraid that if he asked any further questions and heard about the things she had done with Xiao Guxing, he would feel upset.

Ji Xuan had almost finished eating the noodles when he finally received Shi Wan's reply.

She messaged me again on the way here, asking if I wanted to come to the food street behind the school and have beef noodles together.

Shi Wan: [Just woke up. Are you alone?]

Ji Xuan put down her chopsticks and typed back: 【He Wenqi. We're almost finished eating.】

Shi Wan: [I won't come if I haven't finished eating. I still need to wash up and put on makeup, and I don't want to be a third wheel. You and Wen Qi can leave first. Just send me the address on your phone, and I'll drive there myself.]

Ji Xuan was speechless: [What do you mean by "third wheel"? There's no need for that. We'll come pick you up later.]

Shi Wan: [No, really, I can go by myself.]

Ji Xian couldn't persuade her, so he had to give up and told Wen Qi, "Wanwan told us to go ahead by ourselves, we don't need to pick her up, she can drive herself."

Wen Qi nodded upon hearing this, "Then send her the address later, Jixi Path South A2 District."

Ji Xuan edited the text and sent the location to Shi Wan.

After Wen Qi scanned the code to pay, the two came out of the store, and Wen Qi asked her if she wanted to continue shopping.
Ji Xian shook his head, "Aren't we supposed to go to Jixi Path? If we go now, it will be almost two o'clock."

Wen Qi didn't say anything, but took her hand again and walked out of the food street. Then he said something nonsensical, "If you want to come again next time, I'll come with you."

She turned her head, not understanding why he suddenly said that, but when she met his deep, captivating eyes, she smiled gently and said, "Okay."

Ji Xian slept for half of the forty or fifty minutes he spent in the car.

As they approached their destination, Ji Xuan could see the "Jixi Path" sign from afar in the car, with a few kites sparsely flying in the sky.

Jixi Path is actually a very large park with a huge artificial lake and a small island in the middle where you can fish. The scenery is quite nice.

It is divided into four areas: east, west, south, and north. The north and south areas have the best scenery, a wide view, and are the closest to the central island.

Many people come here for picnics and camping during the spring and autumn seasons.

Wen Qi parked the car in the parking lot on the south side and led Ji Xian inside.

The park is really big; it took about ten minutes just to get into the south section.

Ji Xian was glad that she had the foresight to not wear high heels today. She was just thinking about having a picnic this afternoon, so she dressed very casually.

After walking for another two minutes, Ji Xuan saw a familiar figure.

It was Lu Xuming and Yin Qianran.

Lu Xuming was flying a kite, and Yin Qianran was jumping up and down excitedly beside him, shouting, "Higher! Higher!"

Lu Xuming was startled by her action. He dropped the spool in his hand and pulled her away, saying earnestly, "My dear, don't jump around like that, you're trying to scare me to death!"

As Yin Qianran watched the kite soaring high in the sky slowly fall, her face instantly fell, and she slapped his arm hard.

"What are you panicking for! Are you afraid I'll throw your son out?"
