If You Are a Dodder Flower

Part 66

The following Thursday, Wei Qi came to school to visit her again. He brought her a bag of stuff and she didn't know what was inside..

"My colleague went on a business trip and I asked him to bring some things back," he said. "You can say it's a local specialty, a traditional Chinese medicine, or a supplement. Mix it well with water and drink it. It's good for people with cold hands and feet."

Was it because she said she was afraid of the cold before?

Xia Rou remembered that in the past Wei Qi had also given her several different kinds of supplements or something along those lines. The reason he had given her then was because he heard she was scared of the cold.

And at that time, his salary was higher, so the things he had gifted were also much better.

She looked at him carefully and realized that the clothes he had on were not as particular as she had known him to be in her previous life. His economic condition was likely not there yet, so he hadn't started paying attention to brands.

This Wei Qi was actually quite different from the Wei Qi she had known before.

But his heart, and enthusiasm for her... were exactly the same, no matter the time.

Xia Rou recalled his appearance as he stood in front of the Cao Family household entrance, staring silently at her. Inside her heart, she felt sour.

Wei Qi was shocked.

But inside his heart, he felt warm.

He thought she was just the person he expected her to be: an emotional, delicate girl. She could be so meticulously aware of the feelings expressed by others that she became easily touched.

Not only was she beautiful, but her heart was also soft. She seemed a very kind and gentle girl.

He felt that he still didn't know much about her.

On their last date, he had only thought of looking for topics in common to talk about with her, but he had forgotten to ask more about her house.

But there was no huge rush. He thought their future was still very long; he would have a lot of time to get to know her slowly.

He looked gently at her. Xia Rou was embarrassed by his gaze and sniffled to hid ethe sourness in her heart.

"Thank you," she said.

Wei Qi smiled as he looked at her. "I received it Monday, but I've been very busy over the past few days. I could only come today."

Xia Rou remembered that it hadn't been too long since he had entered the workforce. He had probably only just established himself in the company. This was the phase he needed to work hard and make progress for.

So she told him, "You've been working overtime lately. It's better than you don't come over at night. We can just meet on the weekends."

Wei Qi's face immediately brightened. "Then, this weekend?"

Xia Rou nearly promised him without a second thought. But she remembered that Cao Yang wanted to bring her to ski, so she had no choice but to reply, "This week, I can't. My family is going skiing."

"What about next week?"

"Next week I need to start studying for finals, or I might fail my classes..." Xia Rou said helplessly.

It was now exam season. On this campus where all the students were overachievers, the weak Xia Rou needed to work hard to catch up.

Wei Qi's glowing visage faded until his head tilted dejectedly downwards.
