Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Baima has already started planning her room: "I need one that faces south, so it gets lots of sunshine. And it also needs to be close to my brother..."

Lin Man chimed in, "Why are you getting so close to him?"

Bai Ma choked, realizing she had let something slip, and her face flushed slightly.

"Can't I ask him to play games with me?"

Lin Man laughed out loud, but didn't expose her.

The group started discussing animatedly, but Wen Shu remained mostly silent, keeping her head down and eating.

It's not that I don't want to speak, it's that I can't get a word in edgewise.

None of the things Lin Man talked about had anything to do with her.

She's just back for the National Day holiday; she has to go back to school afterward.

But as she listened, a thought suddenly popped into her head.

If they really move to the capital, will I be able to have my own room?

Wen Shu suppressed her thoughts for the time being and ate her meal in silence.

After finishing her meal, Wenjing began to clear the dishes.

Wen Shu stood up to help, and the two sisters went into the kitchen one after the other.

The tap was running, Wenjing was washing the dishes, and Wenshu took over, dried them with a dishcloth, and put them in the sterilizer.

The two worked together seamlessly, just like they had for the past ten years or so when they were sisters.

"We're leaving tomorrow morning, right?"

Wenshu dried the last bowl and put it in the cupboard.

"Ah."

Wenjing turned off the tap and shook the water off her hands: "Is there anything else?"

"Sister, I want to go back to Zhuzhou first, since it's my first time coming back from university."

"Eh..."

Wenjing looked slightly surprised, then asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"

"Need not."

Wen Shu shook her head: "I can manage on my own."

Wenjing didn't ask any more questions. She took the car keys out of her pocket, handed them over, and gave him some instructions.

"Your brother-in-law is with Yan hope in Zhuzhou. The two families live close by, so you should keep a low profile and avoid causing any trouble."

"clear."

Wen Shu took the key and responded calmly.

Chapter 285: Sister-in-law in a Car Accident

Wen Shu drove to Zhuzhou, but instead of going home or looking for Ding Heng, she went to the factory where her parents worked.

It was almost 2 p.m. when the workers finished their lunch break and prepared to return. A number of people had gathered in the open space at the factory gate, but no one noticed the crowd on the roadside.

Inside the Volkswagen, Wen Shu quietly watched her parents.

Wen Dahai and Luo Guihua, dressed in old work clothes, were surrounded by several fellow workers.

The couple looked extremely pleased with themselves.

“Let me tell you, my daughter Xiaoshu has been different from other children since she was little.”

Luo Guihua's words were full of energy: "She can sit still and loves to read. While her older sisters watch TV outside, she stays in the room doing her homework, often until midnight."

The middle-aged woman with curly hair next to her clicked her tongue twice, her tone exaggerated: "Guihua, you're so lucky! Your eldest daughter married in Pengcheng, your second daughter found such a good partner, and your third daughter got into Peking University. You can just wait to enjoy your retirement!"

"you do not say."

Another man chimed in, his voice rough: "Old Wen, you've lived a worthwhile life! Three daughters, each one more successful than the last. My daughter, on the other hand, plays video games all day long, and if I say anything to her, she talks back to me. It drives me crazy."

Wen Dahai waved his hand, speaking politely, but his back was much straighter than usual.

"If you ask me, I still think the old Wenhui was the best at education."

The curly-haired woman continued her flattery: "Look at his three daughters, aren't they all well-behaved? Unlike those young people nowadays, dyeing their hair, getting their ears pierced, and dressing in all sorts of weird and outlandish ways..."

Wen Shu sat in the car, looking at the smile on her mother's face.

She had never seen her mother smile like that in the past decade or so, and this began to irritate her.

Isn't it good that her parents praise her?

Isn't it good that your fellow workers are envious?

She got into Peking University, which brings honor to her family. Isn't that a good thing?

all good.

But she just couldn't get used to it.

She's not special at all, and her parents haven't done a good job of educating her...

If Wenjing hadn't met Ding Heng, who then hired a tutor for her, changed her school, and bought her various things, she probably would have ended up dyeing her hair and getting her ears pierced.

Wen Shu looked away, shifted gears, and turned around.

The car slowly drove away, and the group of people in the rearview mirror shrank smaller and smaller until they turned a corner and disappeared completely.

She didn't know why she had to come back, as if she was making herself uncomfortable.

The car turned onto the main road, and the midday sun shone in, making people feel sleepy.

I got up too early to catch my flight this morning and didn't rest at noon, so now I'm feeling drowsy in waves.

Wen Shu rolled down the car window a crack, hoping the wind would help her clear her head.

The traffic light was green at the intersection ahead, and she prepared to turn, and then...

"boom!"

The car jolted violently, and Wen Shu swayed to the left, her head hitting the side window.

It wasn't too severe, but the dull pain still made her hiss and gasp.

The airbags didn't deploy, but the car was clearly bumped and veered to the side by about half a foot.

Wen Shu's mind went blank.

She frantically slammed on the brakes and glanced in the rearview mirror.

A white Land Rover was parked diagonally behind her to the left, with its front bumper pressing against her left rear door.

Wen Shu's heart leaped into her throat.

She had only had her driver's license for two months and never expected her first car accident to happen so quickly.

In an instant, he froze in the driver's seat, his mind blank.

"Bang bang bang!"

Someone banged hard on the car window from the outside. The sound was urgent and loud, which startled Wen Shu.

She mechanically turned her head.

A woman in her early thirties stood outside the car, with short hair, heavy makeup, and her brows furrowed, muttering something to herself.

Separated by a pane of glass, Wen Shu couldn't hear very clearly, but judging from her lip movements and expression, it probably wasn't something pleasant to hear.

The car window was knocked twice more, harder than before.

Wen Shu didn't dare open the window.

She didn't know if it was her fault...

My mind is too cluttered; I can't remember at all whether I used my turn signal or checked my rearview mirror when I changed lanes.

What if it really is her fault, and she makes a scene?

Wen Shu subconsciously shrank her neck and frantically reached for her phone, but didn't know who to call.

She swiped through her contacts, and almost instinctively dialed the number saved as her brother-in-law.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

After three calls, Ding Heng's voice rang out.

"Hello? Xiaoshu, is something the matter?"

Wen Shu's nose suddenly stung, and she managed to squeeze out a sob from her throat.

"Sister...brother-in-law...I've been in a car accident!"

.........

The phone hangs up.

Wen Shu sent the location information and gasped for breath.

She was knocked on the car window twice more, but she ignored it.

He knocked twice more. She still ignored him.

The woman outside must have gotten tired of knocking, or maybe she realized the police were determined not to open the window, so she finally stopped, walked back to her car, and waited for the traffic police to arrive.

I don't know how much time had passed, but the familiar Mercedes pulled up to the side of the road.

Seeing Ding Heng get out of the car and walk over, Wen Shu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a police motorcycle also turned into the intersection and stopped on the side of the road.

Wen Shu, as if grasping at a straw, quickly pushed open the car door.

Her legs felt a little weak, but she still walked over quickly.

"Brother-in-law..."

She cried out, her voice trembling with sobs.
