Shen Jun cast a quick glance at the note’s contents, and without delay, Wen Nian placed it right in front of him.

“Hmph!” Shen Jun crumpled the note into a ball, but just as he did, Wen Nian grabbed his arm firmly.

“Are you really considering adding him?” Shen Jun’s hand rested on Wen Nian’s thigh, his grip tightening slightly as a subtle warning.

Wen Nian shot him an irritated look, her eyes rolling in exasperation. She spoke in a hushed tone, “Have you forgotten the plan? Our plan!”

Although Shen Jun felt a bit reluctant, he recalled that Wen Nian had crucial tasks to accomplish. He handed over the crumpled paper ball to her.

Wen Nian glanced at the WeChat ID on the note with a helpless expression. Memory could be quite eerie. Even after being reborn, she still remembered Wei Xiao’s WeChat ID. It was as though she knew it by heart, even without having written it down.

She shifted her gaze to Shen Jun, who appeared somewhat jealous, and swiftly put on a pout of feigned distress. With a subtle gesture, she discreetly pulled out her phone.

Using one hand to tug at Shen Jun’s sleeve, she gave him a wide-eyed, pitiable look. Shen Jun couldn’t help but chuckle at her expression.

“Remember, you need to save all the chat records. Otherwise, there will be consequences,” Shen Jun reminded her in a gentle murmur.

Wen Nian nodded eagerly, resembling a chick pecking at grains. Only then did Shen Jun soften, smiling affectionately. “Go ahead and add him.”

Swiftly retrieving her phone, Wen Nian added Wei Xiao on WeChat as if she had been granted clemency.

Observing her actions, Shen Jun’s expression held a tinge of discontent. He glanced at the note, amazed that he had managed to remember such a lengthy WeChat number. He couldn’t decide whether she was exceptionally clever or if that number had been ingrained in her memory all along.

Wei Xiao hadn’t anticipated Wen Nian’s swift response. His excitement escalated as he promptly accepted her request.

Wei Xiao: “I took a look at the fountain pen. It can’t be used anymore. I’ll buy a new one for you. Do you still like pink?”

Wen Nian: No need, it’s fine.

Wei Xiao: “I remember that you like pink. I know a brand that just launched a pink box this year. I’ll get them to order a set later and bring it to you tomorrow.”

Wen Nian: No need. My boyfriend will be jealous.

Wei Xiao looked at the reply on his phone and didn’t know how to reply.

However, Shen Jun didn’t strike him as the jealous type, did he? Additionally, word had it that the men in the Shen family tended to keep their distance from women. Both Old Master Shen and Father Shen were examples of this behavior. How could Shen Jun feel jealous about Wen Nian?

Having sorted out his thoughts, Wei Xiao set aside his concerns. He sent a message and arranged for a pen set from a luxury brand to be ordered.

He made up his mind to deal with Wen Nian first. Given her previous feelings for him, it wouldn’t be too challenging for him to use her to get to Shen Jun.

Thankfully, Wei Xiao didn’t send any further messages to her after school. It was only then that Shen Jun returned Wen Nian’s phone to her. The parting words, “My boyfriend will get jealous,” had come straight from Young Master Shen.

The following morning, Wei Xiao arrived at the classroom ahead of time, anticipating Wen Nian’s reaction when she laid eyes on the gifts adorning his desk.

When Wen Nian arrived at the classroom, she saw a huge pink gift box on the table. Even without thinking, she could figure out who had sent this gift.

She didn’t even bother to open it. Amidst the envious gazes of her female classmates, she approached Wei Xiao with the gift in hand.

“Wei Xiao, as I mentioned yesterday, you really don’t have to make up for the fountain pen. Plus, my fountain pen barely costs ten yuan. I can’t accept this gift.” Placing the box on Wei Xiao’s desk, Wen Nian pivoted and headed back to her own seat.

Wei Xiao acted quickly, grabbing her arm. Suppressing the urge to kick him, Wen Nian inquired, “What’s the idea? Don’t create a scene at school. If your fiancee catches wind of this, she might just start a brawl with you!”

Numerous classmates had already arrived and witnessed the unfolding drama. Their minds couldn’t help but conjure up a multitude of love-hate scenarios.

Wei Xiao promptly clarified, “You’ve got the wrong idea. It’s merely a gesture of compensation through a fountain pen. This brand is rather ordinary to me. Please, accept it.”

“I’ve made myself clear. Wei Xiao, do you not comprehend my words?” Wen Nian impatiently shrugged off his hand.

Seeing that their fellow students were trickling in, along with a handful of students from other classes who lingered near the doorway, Wei Xiao decided against persistently offering the gifts.

Yet, he remained undeterred, persisting with a query, “Remember last time 1 mentioned treating you to a meal? Do you think we could arrange that by this Friday?”

Fearing another rejection from Wen Nian, he hastily appended, “Let’s just call it an apology meal. Give me a chance to make amends.”

Hearing that he was going to treat her to a meal, Wen Nian smiled brightly. “Okay..”
