I Witnessed My Parents' Love Story

“My new novel, Love Comes on the Evening Breeze [School Life], is now online.”

“Excuse me, could I borrow your phone to make a call?”

Wen Zhixia wore a mask. She gave a muffled reply, then handed her phone to the girl in front of her.

“Sorry, the person you are calling is busy...”

Wen Huai had to hang up. Wen Zhixia took her phone back and glanced at the number, then exclaimed in surprise, “Who did you call?”

“My mom.”

Wen Zhixia: ?

Then why was it the exact same number as hers?!

“Why don’t you... try calling your dad?”

The call went through. The person who answered was Qiu Shenghan, a boy in Wen Zhixia’s grade whom she had never spoken to, and the school’s famously aloof genius.

.

On her eighteenth birthday, Wen Huai closed her eyes and made an impossible wish: she wanted to see her young parents fall in love.

The next day, she woke up decades in the past.

Beneath the blazing sun, No. 1 High School was holding a lively pep rally for the college entrance exam on its athletic field.

Wen Huai looked at the boy in a white shirt speaking at the podium. A minute later, she let out a shocked, excited scream. That handsome face, that tall, straight posture! Who else could it be but her dad when he was young?

Still reeling from the shock, Wen Huai heard a voice.

[Host's status is normal. Congratulations, Host, you have successfully bound to the Wingman System.]

Wen Huai frowned. “Wingman System? What’s that?”

[The Wingman System helps two people reach a happy ending. The Host only needs to complete the wingman missions issued by the System.]

[Wingman targets: Wen Zhixia and Qiu Shenghan.]

“? I’m supposed to play matchmaker for my parents? They’ve known each other since childhood and went from school uniforms to wedding clothes. What do they need me for?”

[Mission One: Help Wen Zhixia meet Qiu Shenghan.]

Wen Huai: ? Who’s trying to fool me?

How are you about to graduate and still haven’t met?

-

Wen Zhixia thought that having a strange girl suddenly burst into her peaceful life was already enough of a shock. But she was even more baffled when the famous Qiu Shenghan repeatedly showed interest in her, going far beyond the boundaries of ordinary friendship.

She silently turned around, still holding Wen Huai’s hand. Was it just her imagination, or had this genius suddenly changed so much?

Wen Huai, who had witnessed everything, frowned more and more deeply.

Finally, one day she stopped Qiu Shenghan and asked, “How old are you now?”

“Twenty-eight.”

“...”

No wonder he was so jealous. He was just like her dad in his forties.

“You’ve really stayed the same for decades.”

[Childhood friends]

Energetic, resilient sweet girl × tsundere top student with a jealous streak

“People say the early bird catches the worm, but I’m not even perched on the same branch as the others in Class One.”

“...Don’t be so pessimistic. Instead of wasting time saying that, you might as well get ready to take off. Come on, we haven’t finished going over the questions you got wrong last time.”

“...Chen Chaomu, you’re so annoying.”

Someone once asked Xu Wan whether she and Chen Chaomu had always been evenly matched.

Xu Wan nodded. “Of course!”

Then she quietly added, “Except when it comes to grades.”

The two had fought ever since they were little. They were as close as lips and teeth, yet always at odds, and neither was willing to give in to the other. Even later, when they ended up in bed together, they were still like that.

Chen Chaomu was steady by nature and rarely got angry, but whenever he did, it was almost always because of Xu Wan.

When Xu Wan made him furious, he would block her, then unblock her two minutes later. It was a way to calm himself down and, in his mind, to feel as if he had already punished her.

However, he usually pulled these little stunts without Xu Wan knowing. That is, until the summer after the college entrance exam, when he took Xu Wan off his blacklist again and discovered that she had deleted him.

Snow fell heavily in December. He closed his eyes, his heart about to leap from his chest, and dialed with stiff fingers.

As if afraid the person on the other end would hang up, he spoke as soon as the call connected. “Want to go to Universal Studios on New Year’s Day? I have two tickets.”

When he finished, he held his breath.

After two seconds of silence, Xu Wan spoke. It was the first thing she had said to him in two or three years.

“I’ll see if I can get a high-speed rail ticket.”

“If you get one, you’ll come?”

“...Yeah.”

Her phone dinged. Xu Wan looked and saw a new 12306 ticket notification.

Xu Wan: “You bought it already? You still remember my ID number?”

“Yeah.”

He could recite it backward.

Xu Wan had always had a bad memory. He remembered her personal information better than his own.

They had fought countless times, and every time he was the first to give in. This long, drawn-out cold war was no exception.
