Wen Li was right in her guess, Huo Yuanchen did go to coax An Wen afterwards.
The news was naturally told by Zhou Ying, who said, "The school gave An Wen a second chance to retake the English class she failed, and the retake will be this afternoon. Many people saw her crying in the classroom before the exam. Teacher Qi, who works in the same office as me and is the invigilator, kindly asked her if she had any difficulties and whether she wanted to postpone the exam. An Wen said nothing and just kept crying on the desk."
When Wen Li received the message, he was holding up his camera and taking pictures of a couple on the lawn.
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the breeze blew, and the pink petals gently fell on the young and energetic boy and girl. They sat side by side, their heads slightly leaning towards each other, their hands naturally held together, and in their other hands they each held a book and read it seriously. There was no passionate kiss, but the whole picture was filled with the beauty of love.
Wen Li herself didn't have a sweet and happy relationship when she was in school, so when she saw others having such a relationship, she felt a little envious.
After reading Zhou Ying's message, he replied without any emotion, "Your colleague's consolation is like scratching an itch through a shoe. He will definitely not be able to comfort An Wen."
Zhou Ying replied, "You guessed it right. An Wen was the only one taking the make-up exam. To avoid suspicion, I didn't go back to supervise her. Teacher Qi had a class to attend today, so she specially changed her class to supervise her. She cried so hard that Teacher Qi didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Professor Huo came and comforted her."
Wen Li looked at the couple on the lawn. The girl seemed to be so absorbed in reading that she didn't even notice the petals falling on her hair. The boy tilted his head and looked at her tenderly for a long time, then suddenly bent down and kissed her on the cheek. The girl was startled, then reacted, and playfully hit the boy a few times. The two played for a while, then sat back down and went back to reading.
Wen Li thought, if you really like someone, your eyes will be full of her and you can't hide it at all.
She replied to Zhou Ying, "Huo Yuanchen must have coaxed An Wen right away. The little girl was crying for him to see, to make him feel distressed and guilty. If he doesn't come, no one else's persuasion will be of any use."
Zhou Ying gave her a thumbs-up and praised her, "You know what, your guess was pretty accurate."
Wen Li didn't think Zhou Ying was praising her. She typed lazily and asked, "An Wen has taken the exam three times, right? The little girl really doesn't take credits seriously. If she fails the exam again this time, she won't get her degree certificate."
Zhou Ying said disdainfully, "Who knows what she was thinking. Maybe she felt that with Professor Huo here, she wouldn't be unable to get her degree certificate. But the questions this time were really simple. Not to mention that An Wen is already a senior, that set of papers could have been passed by a freshman, so it would be unreasonable for her to fail again."
Wen Li didn't know whether this extra-simple test paper was instructed by Huo Yuanchen, and she was too lazy to guess. She sent the photo of the campus couple she had just taken to Zhou Ying and asked her, "What do you think?"
Zhou Ying commented, "You said you are not good at taking portraits. I think you took a very good one, very vivid. But based on my understanding of the school, this photo of yours will probably not be included in the promotional album."
Wen Li had no intention of sending the details of the couple's interaction to the school officials. She just took the photo because she felt envious at the moment.
She saw the couple stand up and seem to be leaving. She didn't bother to chat with Zhou Ying and ran over to show them the photos she took.
I explained, "I took the photo because I thought it was beautiful. If you mind, I will delete it immediately. If you don't mind, please leave me your contact information and I will print out the photo and give it to you as a souvenir."
Her photo was so good that the couple couldn’t bear to let her delete it. The girl added her on WeChat and asked her, “Do you want to take a photo for your ID? I’m about to graduate and I want to take a good-looking photo for my ID so I can find a job.”
There was no reason for Wen Li to refuse a business that came to his door. He nodded and said, "Photographing. How about this, I'll give you the address of my studio. When you are free, come over to take the photo. I'll give you a discount."
The girl took note and said, "Then I'll go with my friend and you can give us a discount, okay?"
Wen Li smiled, "No problem. As long as you are a student of Haishi University, I will give you a discount."
She also went through the student days and knew that most students were short of money. She wasn't specializing in student business, so she could earn less.
Wen Li finished shooting at about 4pm. She sent a message to Huo Yuanchen to tell him that the work was over.
He didn't reply.
Wen Li didn't dare to leave early. She was going abroad next week, and she couldn't anger Huo Yuanchen at this time. She thought about it, asked Zhou Ying where Anwen's exam classroom was, and walked over there with her camera on her back.
As expected, Huo Yuanchen was standing outside the classroom, waiting for An Wen to finish the exam.
When Wen Li walked up to him, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then he looked into the classroom and asked Wen Li, "Are you done with the work?"
Wen Li nodded and said, "I want to go back. My feet hurt after running all day."
Huo Yuanchen glanced at the time and said, "Go sit outside for a while, I'll take you there later."
Wen Li came to see him just to confirm if his plans for tonight had changed? From what he said, it seemed that he was still planning to stay with her, so she nodded and agreed.
As soon as she took a step, Huo Yuanchen said, "Don't go this way. There's an exam going on inside. Go around and go downstairs over there and wait for me."
Wen Li looked back at him, but his attention was not on her, and his eyes were fixed on the classroom. Through the glass window, she saw An Wen concentrating on answering questions on the test paper. Judging from her sad face, her answers should be average.
She suddenly realized that when Huo Yuanchen looked at her just now, he was not surprised that she came over, but was blaming her footsteps for disturbing An Wen's exam.
She thought, no wonder he had to stand guard outside the classroom all the time. He was probably afraid that too many people passing by outside the classroom would affect the performance of the person inside.
Wen Li curled her lips, but still followed Huo Yuanchen's instructions and took a detour to go downstairs.
She waited downstairs for half an hour and saw An Wen coming out of the teaching building with Huo Yuanchen's arm around her. Judging from the girl's expression, her test results were not very good, but not very bad either. At least when she was chattering with Huo Yuanchen, there was a smile between her eyebrows.
But that smile disappeared the moment he saw Wen Li.
Wen Li walked over, glanced at the pink backpack in Huo Yuanchen's hand, and asked him in a businesslike manner, "Can we go now?"
Huo Yuanchen said without any guilt, "I'm afraid it's not possible yet. I promised An Wen that I would take her to eat hot pot after she finishes the exam."
Wen Li sighed resignedly and asked, "Then, shall I go first?"
"Let's go together."
After Huo Yuanchen finished speaking, he took An Wen and left first.
