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

After a moment, Chen Chen slowly put down his chopsticks, gently patted his round belly, and his face was full of satisfaction. He sighed:
"Oh dear, I'm so full! This meal was so satisfying. Thank you, Xiaoxi."

Lin Muxi stood up with a smile and began to methodically clear the dishes from the table, her tone carrying a hint of reproach:
"Senior, we already agreed beforehand that you don't need to be so polite. You've been too polite several times today."

Chen Chen quickly replied, "Okay, I promise I won't say such formal things again."

As Lin Muxi tidied up, she reminded him:

"By the way, senior, don't you have class this afternoon? It's getting late, hurry up and pack your things, don't be late."

Lin Muxi's reminder made Chen Chen suddenly remember the afternoon's class schedule.

He quickly pulled out his phone to check the time, his eyes widened instantly, and he hurriedly stood up, saying in a slightly flustered manner:

"Oh dear, I almost forgot about that completely."

As he hurriedly packed his things, he said to Lin Muxi:
"Xiaoxi, just stay home and wait for me to come back. I'll take you out for a nice meal tonight."

Lin Muxi's face lit up with a bright smile, and she nodded playfully:

"I'll go to class with you. Anyway, I swapped classes with a classmate this afternoon, so I'm free."

Without a second thought, Chen Chen replied, "Okay, let's go together then."

Soon, Chen Chen packed his things, and the two hurriedly left.

Walking on the bustling street, the two naturally held hands.

Chen Chen's lips unconsciously curled up, his eyes filled with happiness and sweetness.

The warm and gentle sunlight softly shone on them, as if draping them in a golden veil, and even the surrounding air seemed to be filled with an intoxicating sweet fragrance.

The two continued walking and soon arrived at the school.

The campus is shaded by green trees, and students come and go.

They walked hand in hand toward the teaching building, drawing envious glances from many students.

Upon arriving at the classroom, Chen Chen and Lin Muxi found adjacent seats and sat down.

The class bell rang, and the instructor walked into the classroom to begin the lesson.

Chen Chen tried his best to concentrate on the lecture, glancing at Lin Muxi beside him from time to time.

While Chen Chen was in class, Lin Muxi took out her phone and sent a message to Wang Ma.

In the message, she asked Wang Ma to come to her house to clean when she had time, and hoped that Wang Ma could come over to help cook every day from now on.

Initially, Lin Muxi had this plan in mind:

My younger sister has now returned home, and with Wang Ma's extensive experience, it's perfect for her to help take care of her.

Moreover, she also longed to spend more time with Chen Chen, so this arrangement was a win-win situation.

However, things have changed now, and she and Chen Chen have been extremely busy lately.

Lin Muxi felt particularly sorry for Chen Chen, who had stayed up all night last night.

After much thought, Lin Muxi decided it would be more appropriate to have Wang Ma come back to cook for them.

This way, Chen Chen can eat comfortably, and the two of them can relax a bit in their busy lives.

After making up her mind, she carefully explained some specific details to Wang Ma, specifically emphasizing that Chen Chen had been working hard lately and that she should cook more nutritious food to help him recover. Not long after sending the message, Wang Ma replied.

She was naturally happy to take care of Lin Muxi and the other person.

They also asked with concern if there was anything unusual at home, and why she was suddenly needed to come over to do things again.

Lin Muxi simply replied that she and Chen Chen had been too busy lately and hoped that Wang Ma could lend a hand, and also expressed her gratitude to Wang Ma.

Putting away her phone, Lin Muxi tilted her head slightly, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and unconsciously smiled.

The thought that Wang Ma would come to help in the future would mean Chen Chen wouldn't have to worry about trivial matters and could focus more on her work and studies filled her with joy.

After the afternoon classes ended, Chen Chen and Lin Muxi walked out of the teaching building.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red, and the entire campus was enveloped in a warm atmosphere.

Lin Muxi looked at Chen Chen with a smile and took the initiative to say:
"Senior, I've called Aunt Wang back. From now on, she'll come to our house every day to clean and cook for us."

That way, you won't have to work so hard and can have more time to rest.

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen was slightly taken aback, quickly thinking for a moment before realizing what was happening. A worried expression appeared on his face as he asked:
"Wouldn't it be too tiring for Aunt Wang to run back and forth every day?"

Lin Muxi gently shook her head and explained with a smile:
"No, senior. There's more than one helper at home, so she won't be too tired. Besides, there's a driver to take her around, which is very convenient."

Chen Chen nodded slightly, the worry on his face fading somewhat, but he still said:

"That's good. Wang Ma is a very nice person. It wouldn't be good if she worked too hard. Since that's the case, when she comes, we should be more considerate of her."

Lin Muxi nodded vigorously, her eyes full of agreement:
"Yes, that's what I think too. Aunt Wang has worked for our family for so long and has always been very dedicated. Plus, she's an amazing cook, so we'll be in for a treat from now on."

Chen Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a warm smile:

"Yes, the thought of being able to eat delicious meals every day makes me feel quite happy. Speaking of which, Xiaoxi, why did you suddenly think of calling Aunt Wang back?"

Lin Muxi's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes filled with shyness. She gently tugged at the hem of her dress and said:

"It's because we've all been too busy lately, and you stayed up late last night, so I was thinking of making life a little easier."

And I also want to spend more time with you and don't want to be bothered by these trivial matters.

Chen Chen's heart stirred, a mixture of emotion and happiness welling up inside him.

He gently took Lin Muxi's hand, looking at her with tender yet firm eyes:
"Xiaoxi, I feel so lucky to have you by my side."

Lin Muxi raised her head and met Chen Chen's gaze, her eyes sparkling with a dazzling light, as if they held a sky full of stars:

"Senior, I'm willing to do these things for you. As long as you're happy, I'm happy."

The two gazed at each other silently, and the air around them seemed to soften.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still as they immersed themselves in the loving and warm atmosphere, enjoying the beautiful time that belonged only to each other.

After a while, Chen Chen naturally and gently took Lin Muxi's hand, looked at her tenderly, and said softly:

"Xiaoxi, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll take you."

Lin Muxi tilted her head slightly, blinked her bright eyes, thought seriously for a moment, and then looked expectant as she said in a sweet voice:
"I want to eat steak. Come to think of it, it's been ages since I've had it." (End of Chapter)
