Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Seeing that although the two were still being sarcastic, their appreciation for the food was evident in their words, Chen Chen didn't say anything more.

After finishing their hot and spicy hot pot meal, the three of them got up and left.

"Senior, I'll come find you to hang out another day."

After Yan Zihao finished speaking, before Lin Muxi could react, he walked straight to his car, opened the door with a flourish, got into the driver's seat, and drove away.

Lin Muxi shouted loudly to Chen Chen, looking at Yan Zihao's retreating figure:
"Senior, don't hang out with him another day~"

A helpless smile appeared on Chen Chen's lips as he gently took Lin Muxi's hand and walked towards their car.

Previously, Mijia had made a firm promise to compensate them for the car, but it still hasn't arrived.

The car Chen Chen is currently using is a Wuling Mini that he bought with his own money.

Initially, seeing that there was still no car available, Lin Muxi thoughtfully suggested:

"How about we just drive any car from my dad's garage over and use it temporarily? It's just sitting there anyway."

Her eyes were full of concern, and she was focused on helping Chen Chen solve his transportation problem.

However, Chen Chen smiled and shook his head, refusing the offer.

He felt that he should rely on himself as much as possible in everything.

Why do we say "try our best"?

In today's society, it's a pipe dream to rely solely on yourself.

Use your connections when you can; there's nothing shameful about it.

Being broke is truly shameful.

After getting in the car, Chen Chen skillfully started the engine, and the car slowly started moving, heading towards home.

A warm atmosphere filled the car. Lin Muxi turned her head slightly to look at Chen Chen, sighed softly, and said:

"The office issues are finally resolved, but this means we'll be very busy during the May Day holiday."

Lin Muxi sighed because after the office matter was resolved, her original plan to spend the May Day holiday with Chen Chen was probably ruined.

She knew in her heart that once she got busy, she simply wouldn't have any time to spare.

However, she also knew that Chen Chen was at a critical stage in his career development, and there were more important things for him to deal with and strive for than to play.

Lin Muxi turned her head slightly, looking at the street scenes flashing past the car window, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

But she quickly composed herself, turned around, and with a gentle smile on her face, said to Chen Chen:
"It's okay, I know. Right now, our careers are more important. We'll find time to go out and have fun after we're done with this busy period."

Chen Chen sensed the subtle changes in Lin Muxi's emotions.

He felt a pang of heartache and reached out to gently grasp Lin Muxi's hand; that hand was warm and strong.

He frowned slightly, his tone full of apology:

"Xiaoxi, I'm so sorry. It feels like you're always the one accommodating me and going along with me, which makes you suffer."

Lin Muxi grasped Chen Chen's hand in return and gently squeezed it to comfort him.
"Senior, don't think like that. I'm willing to do this because I love you."

Moreover, being together means understanding and supporting each other. Your dreams are something I want to protect together.

Chen Chen squeezed Lin Muxi's hand slightly, glanced at her, his eyes filled with emotion and love:

"Xiaoxi, having you by my side is the luckiest thing in my life. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll definitely take you to a special place to make it up to you."

Lin Muxi tilted her head, her eyes sparkling, and her face beaming with a happy smile:
"Okay, I'll remember that. Actually, I'm happy no matter where we go, as long as I'm with you." The car slowly came to a stop, just in time to stop at a red light.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Chen Chen naturally reached out and gently grasped Lin Muxi's hand.

His palms were broad and warm, his fingertips caressing the back of her hand, conveying a silent comfort and affection.

Lin Muxi was slightly taken aback, and then a faint blush appeared on her face.

She turned to look at Chen Chen, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection, and gently grasped his hand in return, as if responding to this silent love.

Inside the slightly noisy car, at this moment it was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

The streetlights streamed through the car window, gently enveloping them and creating a cozy little world just for the two of them.

I got home after eight o'clock.

I went home for three days during the Qingming Festival holiday.

After returning to school from the holiday, a series of tasks came one after another, and they were busy again.

During this period, Chen Chen's creative energy was significantly diverted.

Now, Chen Chen clearly feels that his manuscripts are seriously insufficient.

For him, having a stockpile of manuscripts is like a soldier's ammunition reserves before going into battle; when ammunition is insufficient, he inevitably feels anxious.

So as soon as he stepped into the house, Chen Chen didn't even have time to rest for a moment. He went straight to his desk, skillfully turned on his computer, and prepared to immerse himself in his intense creative work.

Lin Muxi watched Chen Chen's hurried figure, her heart filled with heartache.

She tiptoed into the kitchen, determined to make Chen Chen a cup of coffee to perk him up.

The kitchen lights shone softly on her as she skillfully found the coffee beans, ground them, and brewed them. Soon, the rich aroma of coffee filled the entire house.

After brewing the coffee, Lin Muxi carefully walked to Chen Chen's side, carrying the steaming cup of coffee.

She gently placed the coffee on the table and said softly:
"Have a sip of coffee to perk yourself up, don't overwork yourself."

Chen Chen turned his head and looked at Lin Muxi's gentle face. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Xiaoxi. You go and rest. I'll finish writing this part."

Lin Muxi didn't leave, but instead moved a stool and sat down next to Chen Chen.

She watched quietly as Chen Chen focused intently on typing, the words on the screen constantly flashing, as if telling stories.

Occasionally, Chen Chen would stop to think, his brows furrowing slightly, and Lin Muxi would reach out and gently massage his shoulders to relieve his fatigue.

Time passed quietly as Chen Chen immersed himself in his creative world, with Lin Muxi always by his side.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Chen finally completed a portion of the work.

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Lin Muxi, and found that she had fallen asleep leaning back in her chair at some point, with a faint smile on her face.

Chen Chen was deeply moved. He gently picked up Lin Muxi, carried her to the bed in the bedroom, and covered her with a blanket.

Looking at Lin Muxi's peaceful sleeping face, Chen Chen gently kissed her forehead and whispered:

"It's so good to have you by my side."

Back at his desk, Chen Chen looked at the computer screen again, his heart filled with motivation.

He knew that no matter how many difficulties and busy things would come in the future, Lin Muxi would always be by his side, giving him support and encouragement.

This warmth and strength made him even more determined to continue on his creative path and strive for their future. (End of Chapter)
