Winter vacation is relaxing and happy, but it is also fleeting.
Domestic colleges and universities have started to reopen one after another, and Zhou Chen has also embarked on the road to return to China.
This time, Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li were not as reluctant to say goodbye as they were the last time. After all, they had been together for more than a month during the holidays, so there was not much sadness in saying goodbye again.
During the vacation, they had already asked Zhou Chen about his future plans and learned about Zhou Chen's decision.
Although Zhou Chen will return to China to do business in the future, he will still stay in Chinatown most of the time, which makes them completely relieved.
They have become accustomed to the existence of Zhou Chen, their grandson, and as they grow older day by day, they naturally hope that Zhou Chen can stay with them and fulfill his filial piety.
Zhou Chen was naturally very clear about their expectations, and this seemed to him a matter of course.
You raised me up, and I will accompany you until you grow old. Anyway, that's what he thought in his heart.
The four-person dormitory group gathered together again after a winter vacation.
Xu Lin, who was the most noisy, was even more excited. As soon as he saw the other three people, he excitedly rushed over to give them a hug.
When it was Wang Ying's turn, she was pushed away by Wang Ying in disgust as soon as she started to touch her. However, she was thick-skinned enough and still hugged Wang Ying forcefully. Wang Ying was so angry that she had no choice but to do anything.
"Xu Lin, you've lost me during the winter vacation, and your face has become even rounder."
Xu Lin chuckled and said: "During the Chinese New Year, you must eat something good. It's normal to be a little fatter. But Miss, you are more beautiful than before the holiday. Qianxi and Qiaoqiao are also getting more and more beautiful."
So beautiful.”
Xiao Qianxi smiled and said: "It has to be Xu Lin, his mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
Xie Qiao also smiled and said: "Xu Lin is the most talkative person in our dormitory. Wang Ying, I heard that you went to Phuket with Yang Cheng during your vacation?"
"He told you everything. He went out for a walk during the Chinese New Year."
Wang Ying tidied the bedding. In the new semester, she naturally changed into new sheets, quilts and other daily necessities. She was not the kind of person who could save money. She put her own comfort first in everything.
The four of them hadn't seen each other during the winter vacation, and they had a lot to talk about when they met again. Xiao Qianxi and Wang Ying talked less, but Xu Lin and Xie Qiao kept talking about their interesting New Year anecdotes.
"Qiao Qiao, what do you mean, you spent most of the winter vacation with Qin Chuan?" Xu Lin scratched his head and asked.
Xie Qiao didn't think there was any problem and nodded with a smile.
Wang Ying, on the other hand, frowned slightly. She could naturally see that Qin Chuan's feelings for Xie Qiao were unusual, but now Xie Qiao was her girlfriend Yang Cheng, so when she saw Xie Qiao kept talking about Qin Chuan, she felt
Yang Cheng was not mentioned much, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
But she didn't say anything because she wasn't optimistic that Yang Cheng and Xie Qiao could really get together.
If it were in the past, she would definitely fight against the injustice, because in the past, Yang Cheng's status in her mind was far higher than that of Xie Qiao and others.
But things are different now. Ever since she became friends with Zhou Chen, especially after experiencing the gift-giving on Valentine's Day, her heart has gradually changed.
The phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was Zhou Chen calling her. As soon as the call was connected, she heard Zhou Chen's voice.
"Come down, I'm right downstairs, I have something for you."
After secretly glancing at her three roommates, she stood up calmly.
"I have something to do and I need to go out for a while."
Xie Qiao and the three of them were not together and continued to talk.
When Wang Ying just walked out of the girls' dormitory, she saw Zhou Chen standing in front of the iron gate of the dormitory building, and she walked over.
"You asked me to come down so urgently. What do you have for me?"
While asking, she also saw a large gift box half a person's height held in Zhou Chen's arms, and knew that this should be the gift Zhou Chen wanted to give her.
Zhou Chen handed the big gift box in his hand to her: "This is it. I spent a winter vacation and made it by myself. I hope you like it. Be careful, it's quite heavy."
Wang Ying stretched out her hand to take it, her hands sank, it was quite heavy.
"It's so heavy, what's in it?"
Zhou Chen explained with a smile: "Go back to the dormitory and see. I won't treat you to dinner today. I just got off the plane and didn't even go home. I came here in the car to give it to you. Now I have to go back and pack it up first."
Wang Ying felt touched again when she heard that Zhou Chen had just gotten off the plane and didn't even return home, so he sent her a gift.
No matter what, the fact that Zhou Chen can think of her first means that Zhou Chen really takes her to heart.
On Valentine's Day, I flew someone to Phuket in advance to send her flowers and chocolates, and now I'm sending her gifts as soon as I get off the plane.
To be honest, this was the first time in her life that she felt such care and concern from a male friend.
"Zhou Chen, thank you."
Zhou Chen chuckled: "There is no need to thank you for following me. You can take the gift back and look at it. If you are not satisfied with it in any way, call me and I will make it again for you."
Watching Zhou Chen leave in the car, Wang Ying hugged the gift box, full of curiosity, wanting to know what was inside it as soon as possible.
But it was really difficult to open it here, so she hugged the box and quickly went upstairs back to the dormitory.
Xie Qiao and the other two people in the dormitory were talking when they saw Wang Ying walking in with a big gift box in her arms.
"Hey, Wang Ying, what are you holding? Is it your birthday? Who gave you a gift?"
Wang Ying placed the gift box on the table, shook her hands, and exhaled.
"I'm exhausted."
Xu Lin came over very curiously and was about to touch it, but was slapped away by Wang Ying.
"Don't move, this is mine."
Xu Lin muttered: "I know it's yours, and I won't snatch it from you. I just want to see what's inside. You haven't said who gave it to you yet?"
"none of your business."
Wang Ying glared at her angrily, and then opened the gift box herself. Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi also walked over with the same curiosity.
When the gifts inside the box were revealed, Wang Ying and the other four were all dumbfounded.
"This, this, this..."
Xu Lin's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face. He pointed at the wooden carving standing on the table and looked at Wang Ying again without saying a complete sentence.
Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi were also in disbelief, staring at the wood carving.
"Oh my god, Wang Ying, this is you."
"It's incredible. Is this your statue? It looks too similar. Which master carved this?"
Wang Ying was also shocked at this time. She didn't expect that the gift Zhou Chen gave her was a statue of herself. When she saw this statue, she remembered the first time she went to the amusement park with Zhou Chen. This statue
That's who I was that day.
Xu Lin's sharp eyes suddenly saw a card next to it.
"Hey, there is a card here, let me take a look."
Wang Ying just wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Xu Lin had already read out the words on the card.
"I said that I will launch a fierce offensive after the new year, and this is the beginning; I spent a winter vacation to carve this wood carving by myself, stroke by stroke. I hope you like it."
"Zhou, Zhou Chen?"
After reading to the end, Xu Lin's eyes widened and he screamed.
"Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, Wang Ying, what's going on? When did you two get together?"
Wang Ying took the card back angrily and snorted: "Can you speak? What do you mean by getting together? It's too ugly."
As soon as she turned around, she saw Xiao Qianxi and Xie Qiao staring at her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Xie Qiao couldn't hold back and grabbed her arm.
"What's going on, Wang Ying, you and Zhou Chen, are you in a relationship? Why didn't I find out at all? When did you start?"
Xiao Qianxi was also like a curious baby: "Yes, Wang Ying, we live in the same dormitory, and we didn't even realize that you and Zhou Chen were together. You have done a good job of keeping it secret, right?"
Wang Ying, who was impatient with their questions, could only explain: "You are overthinking. Zhou Chen and I haven't started dating yet."
Xiao Qianxi understood: "It seems that Zhou Chen has been chasing you for a long time. He hasn't started dating yet, but he probably won't be far away from becoming boyfriend and girlfriend."
"If anyone could give me such a wooden sculpture, let alone fall in love, I would be willing to do it even with my body."
Xu Lin looked at Wang Ying's wood carving with fascination, and then reached out to touch it. Wang Ying was so frightened that she quickly pushed her aside.
"Xu Lin, don't touch me."
"When did I touch you, Miss? I wanted to touch the wood carving."
Wang Ying said sternly: "This wooden sculpture is me. You are not allowed to touch it blindly. Do you hear me?"
Xu Lin was very helpless: "The eldest lady is the eldest lady. The real person will not be touched, and the statue will not be touched. Miss, can you tell Zhou Chen and ask him to make me a wooden sculpture similar to yours?
I can give him money."
Wang Ying was too lazy to talk to her. Although she didn't know how much this wood carving was worth, even a layman could see how precious her wood carving was. I didn't listen to what Zhou Chen said. It was carved during the winter vacation.
This time and effort are already worth a lot of money.
The more Xie Qiao looked at it, the more she was amazed: "I didn't even know that Zhou Chen still has this kind of skill. It's so beautiful. Wang Ying, Zhou Chen is too kind to you."
Xiao Qianxi nodded in agreement and said, "Well, it's almost as good as my Xiaozhou."
Wang Ying glanced at Xiao Qianxi and was embarrassed to say, can your He Xiaozhou compare with Zhou Chen?
Although He Xiaozhou is a very good boy, in Wang Ying's eyes, he is just better than ordinary people. Compared with Zhou Chen, he is still far behind.
Today's society is very realistic. If you don't have money or status, you can't do it. No matter how good He Xiaozhou is and how hard he works, their starting point may be the end point that He Xiaozhou cannot reach.
This is not contempt or contempt, it is the reality.
Xie Qiao and the others marveled at the wooden sculpture for a long time, and finally reluctant to look away, each doing their own thing, while Wang Ying kept sitting at the table, looking at the wooden sculpture carefully.
Zhou Chen sculpted her so well. What particularly amazed her was that she didn't even serve as a model for Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen only relied on his own photos and imagination to sculpt her into such a three-dimensional and real figure, which was simply unimaginable.
She realized more deeply that Zhou Chen was more talented than she imagined.
'Zhou Chen, how many secrets do you hide that I don't know about?'
She originally had a good impression of Zhou Chen, but now her favorability has greatly increased, and she even has infinite curiosity.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Xu Lin couldn’t stand it anymore.
"Miss, I know you are good-looking and the wood carvings are beautiful, but you have been looking at it for almost two hours, haven't you seen enough?"
Xie Qiao smiled mischievously and said, "What do you know? What Wang Ying sees here is not only the statue, but also the deep love."
Xiao Qianxi: "Leave me alone, even if you watch for a few days, it won't be enough."
Wang Ying rolled her eyes, ignored them, and carefully placed the wood carving. However, she was still uneasy because she didn't know how strong the wood carving was. She thought it would be better to take the time to transport it home. She would definitely put the things in her room.
safest.
After checking the time, it was already afternoon, so she took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Zhou Chen, asking him to have dinner together.
Zhou Chen, who had just returned home not long ago, received a text message from Wang Ying and immediately smiled. It seemed that all his efforts were not in vain. This was the first time that Wang Ying took the initiative to invite him to dinner. This was a very good start.
Then he immediately went back and asked Wang Ying to wait while he drove to pick her up later.
The sports car hadn't been driven for a month and had already accumulated a lot of dust. Zhou Chen drove it to a car repair shop and had it cleaned inside and out.
In Girls' Dormitory 213, Wang Ying tidied up and prepared to go out. Before leaving, she gave Xiao Qianxi a special instruction.
"Qianxi, please help me look at my wood carvings and make sure they don't fall."
Xiao Qianxi made a gesture: "No problem, I'll watch it for you, but where are you going?"
"Have a meal."
After saying that, Wang Ying walked out of the dormitory.
As soon as she left, the three gossips in the dormitory immediately started talking.
Xu Lin: "I bet she is dating Zhou Chen."
Xie Qiao kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice: "I agree, it must be Zhou Chen. Do you think I should call Zhou Chen to ask about the situation?"
Xu Lin, who was standing on the balcony, suddenly shouted: "Look, I guessed it right, isn't it Zhou Chen? Wang Ying is indeed going on a date with Zhou Chen."
Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi also ran over. Although they were far apart, they recognized Wang Ying and Zhou Chen who were waiting at the door. Then they saw Wang Ying getting into Zhou Chen's car.
, leave far away.
Xiao Qianxi sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect that Wang Ying would actually start a relationship with Zhou Chen. This is really not like Wang Ying's style."
Xie Qiao thought it was nothing: "I think it's okay. Wang Ying's conditions are very good, but Zhou Chen's conditions are not bad either. He is handsome, rich, mature, kind and has a good heart. He and Xiaochuan brother are both
No distinction is made between superior and inferior.”
Xu Lin held his chin: "What I'm more curious about is, you said that Wang Ying's family background is extraordinary. Can she and Zhou Chen really succeed?"
Xiao Qianxi said: "Love has nothing to do with family conditions. As long as two people truly love each other, they will be able to overcome thousands of ups and downs."
"I think so too. What's more, Zhou Chen's conditions are not bad. As far as I know, Zhou Chen is rich, so he may not be worthy of Wang Ying."
Although Xie Qiao and Wang Ying are roommates, when it comes to the depth of their relationship, she definitely feels closer to Zhou Chen.
Xu Lin chuckled and said, "Wang Ying is gone, and now I can finally appreciate her statue."
Xiao Qianxi hurriedly warned: "Xu Lin, be careful. If we bump into each other, Wang Ying will definitely chop you up because of how concerned he was just now."
"I just want to look at it and don't mess around. This is a wood carving, not a porcelain piece. It's not that delicate."
Xie Qiao also followed Xu Lin and sat in front of the wood sculpture, admiring it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more amazing he became.
