Chapter 879: 877: His Fondness for Xiao Mi Was No Less Than That for Wen Xin

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Qi Qian arrived just in time to see Ling Xu ‘Er standing alone outside the medical school building, and they quickly approached her.

Qi Qian reached out and took Ling Xu ‘Er’s arm, blinked at her, “What are you doing here? I thought something had happened when you suddenly came running over.”

“Nothing, I just remembered that Sister Xin prepared four sets of dresses for us, and there should be one for Xiao Mi too. Let’s go to the cafe and wait for her there. She’ll come over once she’s done with her stuff.”

Ling Xu ‘Er took Qi Qian’s hand and pulled both Qi Qian and Zhou Xiaoxiao towards the cafe inside Jingda University.

While drinking a coconut latte, Qi Qian gossiped, staring at Ling Xu ‘Er, “Who’s this Xiao Mi you mentioned? How come I didn’t know our aunt also knows someone from the medical school? Is she also a student?”

Wen Xin had not appeared in Jingda University for a long time, and now, aside from the legends about Wen Xin, no one could see her in person, which was truly a pity.

Ling Xu ‘Er sipped her cappuccino and, seeing the curious looks from Zhou Xiaoxiao and Qi Qian, lightly smiled.

“She is… She is Sister Xin’s sister, recently found by Sister Xin, and she’s also Wen Huai’s twin sister. When she comes over, I’ll introduce you.”

When Ling Xu ‘Er was revealing Xiao Mi’s identity, her eyes gleamed with excitement. She adored Wen Xin so much that she felt a fondness for Xiao Mi through association.

But her fondness for Xiao Mi wasn’t just through association. When she met Xiao Mi today, she thought the young girl was incredibly cool, exactly the type she admired.

After hearing Ling Xu ‘Er’s explanation, both Zhou Xiaoxiao and Qi Qian were very surprised, having known Wen Xin for so long, they only knew about her brother Wen Huai and had no idea she had a sister.

“Is Sister Xin’s sister similar in personality to her? That would mean… we’d have another good sister…”

Zhou Xiaoxiao, a little fan of Wen Xin, idolized Wen Xin as much as one would a celebrity, so finding out about her sister felt almost like discovering merchandise related to a star.

“Hey, Zhou Xiaoxiao, get a grip. She’s just my aunt’s sister, an independent individual. I know you like my aunt, but really, you shouldn’t think of her sister as a proxy for my aunt…”

Just then, Qi Qian saw a girl in a black down jacket walk in, wearing a black baseball cap on her head and a black backpack over her shoulders.

She exuded an inherent aloofness, a cool vibe that left people somewhat at a loss for words.

“Xiao Mi, over here!”

Ling Xu ‘Er, noticing Qi Qian had gone silent, looked up following her gaze and saw Xiao Mi walking in. She excitedly waved her hand at Xiao Mi.

Xiao Mi, hearing the call, looked towards them and walked over with a cool demeanor.

When Xiao Mi reached Ling Xu ‘Er, Ling Xu ‘Er unabashedly grabbed Xiao Mi’s hand and pulled her to sit beside her.

“What coffee do you want?”

Qi Qian warmly placed the coffee shop’s menu in front of Xiao Mi, who glanced at it briefly before pushing it aside.

“Didn’t we say we were going to have lunch? Let’s go have hotpot. I’m not very fond of coffee.”

Xiao Mi fished a few lollipops out of her pocket and tossed them to the three people watching her. She then peeled one open and casually popped it into her mouth.

Watching Xiao Mi’s carefree behavior, they suddenly missed Wen Xin. They unceremoniously picked up the lollipops in front of them, unwrapped them, and placed them in their mouths.

After eating Xiao Mi’s candies, the four of them felt instantly less like strangers. Qi Qian was no longer reserved and began to warm up to Xiao Mi enthusiastically.

“Hi Xiao Mi, I am Qi Qian, Wen Xin is my little uncle’s wife, and from now on, we are relatives!”

Qi Qian was very proud that Wen Xin was her little uncle’s wife. She felt extremely happy to become relatives with Wen Xin and showed great enthusiasm towards Xiao Mi.

Seeing Xiao Mi suddenly become very enthusiastic, Xiao Mi was somewhat uncomfortable. She unconsciously frowned but then thought she was a bit cute and smiled gently.

“Hello! I didn’t expect my sister to belong to such a high generation. Nice to meet you all. But speaking of which, when can we go eat?”

Xiao Mi was somewhat indifferent to the three girls’ enthusiasm, but she was looking forward to the hotpot that preoccupied her mind.

“Let’s go eat first, then go to my house to try on the dresses!”

The moment Ling Xu ‘Er heard Xiao Mi mention eating for the second time, she instantly stood up from her chair, feeling that they shouldn’t keep such a stylish girl hungry.

With Ling Xu ‘Er speaking up, Qi Qian and Zhou Xiaoxiao also stood up, both looking towards Xiao Mi, who remained seated without any intention to stand.

“What? Are you not hungry anymore?” Qi Qian, looking at the languidly seated Xiao Mi, felt a very familiar sensation and her tone became much lighter.

“Not really, I just find you all quite interesting. It seems like the friendship between the three of you is really strong.”

Xiao Mi, accustomed to being alone, found their friendship and understanding quite fascinating and was even curious about it.

Ling Xu ‘Er was momentarily stunned by Xiao Mi’s comment. She didn’t understand why Xiao Mi would ask such a question. “Um… isn’t the bond between young girls just really straightforward, is it strange?”

“No… Let’s go eat.”

To avoid making them feel she was an outsider, Xiao Mi hid the expressions in her eyes. She casually slipped on her hat, grabbed her backpack, and stood up, leading the way out of the café.

The three of them stood still, watching Xiao Mi’s departing figure, feeling an aura of loneliness and melancholy.

They exchanged looks and quickly caught up to Xiao Mi’s strides, walking beside her as they all headed out of the university.

After trying on several dresses, Wen Xin lay exhausted on the couch, too tired to even move her arms; the dresses were simply too heavy, and her recent lack of strength was not helping.

Mu Chengxi approached Wen Xin and knelt beside her. With a tender gesture, he brushed back the loose hair from her forehead and gently kissed her there.

“Those dresses were too heavy, not suitable for the birthday banquet. I’ve already asked someone to look for other dresses, and someone will deliver them later.”
