Chapter 152
Later, Shang Xi learned that the wolf people who had found their mates would come to this place to admire the flowers.
Baby Shang also made a group of young wolf companions in the Snow Mountain, and on the day of their departure, dozens of wolf cubs came to see him off, whimpering and crying with tears, both adorable and pitiful.
After returning to the human world,
Gu Wen began to deal with the accumulated work, while Shang Xi started to focus on her flower shop, hotel, and restaurant, but the couple would still make time to pick up and drop off Baby Shang at school, and they would also reserve weekends to take him out to play.
Two months later.
On an ordinary day, Shang Xi went to the third flower shop to handle some issues.
The store was still doing well, with a few ladies browsing inside, occasionally asking questions.
Shang Xi was at the cash register, discussing matters with the employees.
Then, a voice with a hint of surprise and hesitation sounded from the side: "Shang Xi? ... Is that you, Shang Xi?"
Shang Xi raised her eyes, and in front of her stood a woman wearing a black loose V-neck sweater, white casual pants, and glasses, with curly hair, appearing to be under thirty.
Shang Xi paused for a moment, as the woman in front of her overlapped with the memory of her bespectacled, simply dressed, and unadorned college roommate and classmate.
"Are you... Luo Mindan?"
Luo Mindan hurriedly nodded, "Yes, it\'s me! You..." Her words trailed off as she looked at Shang Xi with a touch of hesitation, "You suddenly took a leave of absence during our sophomore year, and we haven\'t seen each other since then, right?"
Shang Xi hummed in acknowledgment and curved her lips slightly, "And how have you been all these years? Come, have a seat over here, don\'t just stand."
After they sat down, a sharp-witted employee went to bring them some hot water.
"What can we do with our major after graduation?" Luo Mindan shrugged, "Just as we had planned back then, I became a high school history teacher, a dead-end job, sigh."
Shang Xi took a sip of water, "That\'s good."
Luo Mindan held the water cup, her expression changing slightly. Oh, how could she say such things in front of Shang Xi! Shang Xi had once said that she wanted to become a history teacher in the future, and her grandmother thought it was a very good job, in the old lady\'s eyes, it was a lifelong career with no worries about food and clothing, and it was a respectable profession.
Later, Shang Xi\'s grandmother passed away, and she took a leave of absence, and no one had kept in touch.
The things they had talked about in school back then, Luo Mindan had achieved them, although she wasn\'t as happy and fulfilled as she had been before.
But Shang Xi hadn\'t even graduated yet...
She hurriedly changed the topic, looking around the flower shop, "Is this your store? It\'s really nice! Running a flower shop is such a romantic job!"
Shang Xi smiled slightly, "It\'s alright."
Luo Mindan was captivated by her smile, suddenly saying, "Honestly, you\'ve become even more beautiful. My skin can\'t be compared to yours at all now, how do you take care of it? You look even better than first-line celebrities."
Shang Xi glanced at her, "You\'re making me feel embarrassed with your compliments."
"I\'m being serious," Luo Mindan, seeing that the previous topic had been changed, secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Are you married?"
At the mention of this, a gleam of happiness flashed in Shang Xi\'s eyes, warm and gentle. She nodded slightly, "Yes, I am. My child is five years old."
"Wow! Didn\'t expect that! I\'m still single." Luo Mindan showed some interest, "Where\'s your husband from? Is he also from Qingcheng?"
Shang Xi thought for a moment and hummed in affirmation.
The two chatted for a while, and then Luo Mindan left.
After that, Shang Xi felt a bit dazed during the rest of her work.
Luo Mindan\'s appearance had pulled her back to the university days.
Back then, her grandmother would smile and look at her going to school every day, happily saying, "Our Shang, we don\'t ask for great wealth and glory, we just want a peaceful and stable life. Becoming a good teacher in the future!"
"Grandma, I\'ll take you traveling and eating delicious food during the summer and winter breaks."
Unfortunately, later, her grandmother passed away first, and she didn\'t even get to graduate.
Her life had taken a completely different path.
Shang Xi looked at the beautiful flowers in the shop and felt that her current situation was quite good. If her grandmother were still alive, she would be happy for her as well.
Luo Mindan hadn\'t been gone long when it was time for Baby Shang to be out of school.
At the door of the flower shop, a tall figure appeared, wearing a black suit, with handsome features and a low-toned voice, "Wife, it\'s time to pick up Shang Shu."
Shang Xi snapped out of her reverie, got up with a hum, put on her coat, and Gu Wen held her hand as they got into the car parked by the side of the road.
In the backseat of the car,
Shang Xi was embraced by Gu Wen, who kissed her forehead, her cheeks, and then her lips, finally burying his head in her neck, "It\'s been a while."
Shang Xi twitched the corners of her mouth.
She felt this wolf man was getting clingier and clingier.
She didn\'t say anything, and Gu Wen waited for a while, then lifted his head, grasping her chin and looking directly into her eyes, "What happened? Are you unhappy?"
Shang Xi paused, "No, I\'m not..."
Gu Wen tugged at the corners of his mouth, "You\'re not even petting my ears!"
Normally, when he revealed his wolf ears and leaned on her, Shang Xi would pet his ears and hair.
Shang Xi...
Shang Xi was defeated.
"It\'s not that I\'m unhappy..." Shang Xi felt that she wasn\'t at the point of being affected by her mood by just meeting an old college classmate. She was quite satisfied with her current situation, she just thought about the past.
She just didn\'t expect Gu Wen to be so perceptive about such a subtle thing.
"Tell me." Gu Wen waited for her to speak.
Shang Xi now had no secrets from him, so she opened her mouth lightly, "A college classmate came to the flower shop to buy flowers, and we chatted for a while."
"...I didn\'t really want to be a teacher that much, it\'s just that I thought Grandma\'s words were right too, it doesn\'t matter what kind of work you do, and back then I quite liked history."
Shang Xi fell silent for a moment, pursing her lips, "If Grandma were still here, she would have loved Baby Shang so much..."
She rambled on about this and that, saying whatever came to mind, her tone low and slow. Gu Wen listened quietly, then said in a serious tone, "Shang, go to school. I support you in whatever you want to do."
Seeing Shang Xi\'s silence, he continued, "Now you have enough time, and the cub doesn\'t need you to struggle to raise him alone."
Shang Xi pursed her lips, and the man\'s narrow black eyes gazed directly at her, "He won\'t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, what are you worrying about, what are you feeling insecure about?"
"It\'s not that I\'m insecure..."
"Then go, if you want to go."
Shang Xi blinked her eyes, lowering her gaze. Actually, Gu Wen was right, she no longer lacked anything materially, and she was financially free to live the kind of life she wanted.
She still remembered how happy her grandmother was when she received the admission letter to Qing University... but now, she didn\'t even have a graduation certificate.
Finally, she nodded, "Okay."
"Then in the future, my time may not be as free, so you\'ll need to take care of our son a little more."
Gu Wen thought of something, his tone becoming a little more serious, "But at school, stay away from those opposite-sex classmates."
He looked at the ring on Shang Xi\'s finger and said, "Wear it to school."
Thinking that Shang Xi would definitely be popular at school, Gu Wen\'s entire wolf was a bit anxious, but he didn\'t let Shang Xi see it.
Anyway, Shang Xi couldn\'t live on campus, the rest, he would keep a close eye on.
"If someone chases you at school, how will you respond?"
Shang Xi smiled and deliberately said, "I\'ll just say I\'m single."
Gu Wen frowned, pursed his lips, and his wolf eyes narrowed slightly, "If Shang wants to stay in bed all day, you can try it."
Shang Xi: "..."
And so it went.
Shang Xi arranged her work and went to the university to report, and as she interacted with the new classmates and encountered the opposite-sex students in her normal group projects...
A certain wolf also began to secretly get jealous and make sarcastic remarks...
