Chapter 447: Sunflower Facing the Apocalypse 10
"Xu Yuxi, Zhou Shiqiu, what a coincidence! Are you here to shop? So much stuff, where are you going? Let me help you carry it." Senior Chen said as he saw the two carrying large bags of groceries.
"No need, it’s fine, we’re just carrying them to the underground parking spot." Xu Yuxi declined.
Zhou Shiqiu smiled and shook her head gently, also saying there’s no need.
"It’s very close, really. Let me help you carry them. How can I let two girls carry such heavy things themselves? It would be excessive for me to ignore it upon seeing it." Without further ado, Senior Chen grabbed the things from Zhou Shiqiu’s hands, then snatched the things from Xu Yuxi’s hands as well.
Senior Chen helped them put the items into the car and warned them to drive carefully before leaving.
Xu Yuxi fastened her seatbelt, started the car, and as Zhou Shiqiu was putting on her seatbelt, she softly said, "Isn’t Senior Chen really nice? Why are some people speaking ill of him?"
Xu Yuxi turned her head to glance at Zhou Shiqiu and suddenly said, "Shiqiu, you don’t have a crush on Senior Chen, do you?"
"Huh? Me, no, no, nothing like that, you’re overthinking it." Zhou Shiqiu denied repeatedly.
Xu Yuxi didn’t say anything; she knew Zhou Shiqiu’s habit. Every time Zhou Shiqiu lied, she would deny it repeatedly.
Xu Yuxi drove slowly towards the exit, speaking slowly as she drove: "Do you know what those people said about Senior Chen?"
"I know, they said he was dating the dean’s niece not because he truly liked her, but was using her. I feel like Senior Chen isn’t as terrible as they’re making him out to be." Zhou Shiqiu said in a quiet voice.
"Shiqiu." Xu Yuxi looked straight ahead, she thought for a moment but decided to push down the thoughts in her heart. The apocalypse was imminent, and there’s uncertainty about even seeing this Senior Chen again in the future. It’s better to let Shiqiu keep a little bit of a beautiful fantasy. This Senior Chen might look decent, but he’s actually not a good person. He dated the dean’s niece because the dean assisted him a lot. But when it came to securing a postgraduate spot, he couldn’t get it, so he broke up with her. It seems the dean’s niece even had an abortion for him.
As for why he was so enthusiastic and considerate when he met them earlier, it’s because the company he’s interning at is run by her father. Senior Chen had tried adding her on WeChat before, but she didn’t accept his request. She’s not sure when he found out about her identity, but what’s certain was that his kindness earlier was definitely to get close to her. But he was very tactful, didn’t take the opportunity to ask for their phone numbers, just left a good impression first.
He’s very scheming, but what’s the point?
The apocalypse is about to arrive.
"Yuxi, what were you going to say earlier?" Zhou Shiqiu asked.
"Oh, I’ll tell you when we get home, I have something very important to tell you."
"So mysterious, tell me as soon as we get home, what’s this important thing?"
At the entrance of the neighborhood, they happened to run into a staff member from the mall delivering clothes, who followed them home and helped move the items inside before asking Xu Yuxi to sign off before leaving.
Xu Yuxi and Zhou Shiqiu placed all the groceries in the kitchen, and Zhou Shiqiu went and poured two glasses of water. The two of them sat on the sofa. Zhou Shiqiu picked up her cup, took a sip of water: "So, what’s this important thing?"
"Then don’t drink water for the moment. I’m afraid you’ll spit it all over me." Xu Yuxi said.
