Xia Wan didn’t give him a chance to escape and pulled him straight into the restaurant.
Xia Wan looked around and saw Zhou En waving to her from a corner window seat.
Xia Wan led Xia Chen to Zhou En’s table. “You guys arrived early!”
Xia Chen greeted Zhou En, his gaze then falling on the fashionably dressed girl sitting next to Zhou En.
The girl wore sunglasses and her brown hair was simply tied up with a silk headband.
“Let me introduce you, this is my good friend, Lina.” After Zhou En finished introducing, he then introduced them to Lina. “This is my good friend and business partner, Xia Wan, and the other is her brother, Xia Chen.”
Lina extended her hand generously to shake hands with Xia Wan, then reached out to Xia Chen.
Xia Chen was stunned for a moment before he gently shook Lina’s hand.
After both parties introduced themselves, they sat down.
After asking for Lina’s preference, Xia Wan and Zhou En unreservedly ordered a table full of dishes.
Although Xia Chen was unclear about the meaning of this meal, he did not directly ask.
Since Xia Wan had called him over, he must have had his use.
“Xia Chen, I heard you were chosen by the school to participate in the reception of foreign guests!” Zhou En picked up the drink cup in front of him. “Impressive!”
Xia Chen smiled somewhat reluctantly, just raising his glass as a gesture, without saying a word.
Xia Wan gave Zhou En a “you see, that’s how it is” expression, then said to Xia
Chen, “Brother, this is Lina, the oral language tutor I hired for you.”
“An oral language tutor?” Xia Chen subconsciously looked at Lina again.
Xia Wan gestured to Zhou En, and he formally reintroduced them.
“Lina, a pure native born and raised abroad,” Zhou En grinned and said, “She’s also my university classmate.”
“I think she’s definitely qualified to be your oral language tutor!”
Xia Chen seemed unable to react for a moment, blinking and looking at Zhou
En and Lina. Then, he turned to Xia Wan, “Wh-what do you mean?”
Xia Wan patted Xia Chen’s shoulder. “Don’t you feel you lack the opportunity for oral conversation, and therefore worry you won’t be able to successfully complete the task?”
“Now that I’ve found you a tutor, you’ll have real-life experience. That way, you’ll have the confidence to complete the reception task!”
Xia Chen still seemed a bit dazed, asking Lina, “Is she a foreigner?”
“I’m a local!” Lina immediately shook her head in protest. “I just live abroad!”
Xia Chen, seeing that Lina was unhappy, immediately lowered his head and apologized. “I’m sorry, I misspoke.”
Lina wasn’t really angry. Seeing Xia Chen apologize so earnestly, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Zhou En couldn’t resist teasing, “You’re really easy to be bullied like this!”
“With me around, who dares to bully my brother?” Xia Wan raised her chin slightly.
Hearing Xia Wan say this, Xia Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
“Since both of you have no objections, it’s decided. From today onwards, my brother will practice oral language with Lina.” Xia Wan said while the iron was hot. “You two can discuss the time and place yourselves. We won’t be too involved.’
“There are less than two weeks left. I hope we can cooperate happily.” Lina extended her hand to Xia Chen.
Xia Chen shook her hand gently. “Please!”
The four of them finished their meal happily. Zhou En said he wanted to accompany Lina to buy some daily necessities and left first.
Xia Wan and Xia Chen were on their way home.
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance?” Xia Chen was surprised that his sister was so considerate of him and had arranged everything so well.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t have the ability to find such a tutor.
However, Xia Wan’s secrecy was a bit too thorough.
“I was afraid you would refuse.” Xia Wan didn’t hide her thoughts. “You’re worried you won’t be able to complete the task and also worried about causing trouble for others.”
Xia Wan turned to Xia Chen, her eyes filled with a slight reproach. “Brother, you can’t always think about others.”
“There are some things that I can help you with.”
Xia Chen’s eyes moved, and his expression became gentler.
He reached out and gently stroked Xia Wan’s hair. “My sister has really grown up! You’re completely different from before!”
Xia Wan lowered her head. “Brother, don’t worry. I won’t let the past happen again!”
“Good!” Xia Chen smiled happily, but he did not know that Xia Wan’s memories were completely different from his..
