Chapter 455: Chapter 452

She would decide to marry him.

After Wen Yu got into the car, there was silence inside, and Wen Xian didn’t initiate any conversation. Lu Xiao knew what she was thinking, so he asked directly:

“Why did you come here alone, without telling me so I and your sister could have picked you up? Also, where are you headed now? Let me arrange a place to stay—”

“No need, thank you, brother-in-law. I still have classes; the college entrance exams are in the summer. It’s tense, academically.”

The young man hurriedly replied.

Lu Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows, “Oh? Does this mean you took time out specifically to see your sister?”

During the conversation, Lu Xiao glanced at Wen Xian.

The latter: “…”

Actually, that was indeed the case, but the young man could no longer easily say it.

Wen Xian felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart; it was somewhat complex.

Afterward, the long-silent Wen Xian finally tilted her head slightly and casually asked, “How’s your studying going? Can you keep up?”

She had never cared about his academics over the years, because she didn’t know what kind of grades her brother, who was always the center of their parents’ attention, would get. A poor result was expected.

Unexpectedly, the young man in the back seat simply replied, “I can keep up. I’ve been boarding since middle school. In the last exam, I ranked first in my grade.”

With these words—

Wen Xian’s breathing momentarily halted, seemingly surprised at how well he was doing in his studies.

However, her gaze deepened as she asked, “Why aren’t you living at home? Why board at school?”

The young man in the seat behind her: “…”

He remained silent.

Though he did not speak, Wen Xian seemed to understand the reason instantly.

What else could the reason be other than avoiding external disturbances?

“That’s good, you’re studying quite well. It wasn’t in vain that I kept sending money home all these years.”

Wen Xian said.

However, she only said it offhandedly, but then immediately heard him say, “…I can start part-time work once I’m in college, and I’ll find a way to pay you back.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Xian’s expression turned slightly.

“What, are you so eager to sever ties already?”

She knew her mood was very complex now and her emotions were fluctuating, but she found it hard to control at the moment.

Lu Xiao even felt a sudden anxiety for her brother.

However, the brother in the back seat remained silent for a while, before finally responding slowly, “That’s not it, I just feel like you also have a hard time earning money.”

Thus, he would pay her back in the future—and even more than he owed.

Upon hearing these words, something inside Wen Xian felt as though it was being poked, leaving her with a bittersweet feeling.

Lu Xiao drove him to the train station; it wasn’t far from here and they were nearly there. At this moment, Wen Xian asked another question:

“Why didn’t you get in the car earlier? Were you avoiding me?”

Wen Yu: “…”

He didn’t speak, just bowing his head in silence, his hand slightly clenched beneath the sleeve of his uniform.

Until they reached the train station, he had said nothing.

Finally, when the car stopped, he got out. Lu Xiao also got out, ready to see him off and gave a look to Wen Xian in the passenger seat.

Afterward, Wen Xian also opened the car door.

And this time, as he was about to leave, the young man stood in the biting wind, looking at Wen Xian, his clear eyes slightly reddening, before he slowly said:

“I wasn’t trying to avoid you, I was afraid you didn’t want to see me.”

She must really dislike him, right?

With this statement, Wen Xian: “…”

Instantly, upon hearing these words, a myriad of complex feelings surged inside her heart as if a bottle of seasonings had been overturned.

The young man was sensitive.
