I'm a world apart from you

Chapter 1 Prologue

In the early morning, heavy mist shrouded the sky, and there was a cold chill in the air, which seemed to penetrate into the bones.

An old residential area, quiet and peaceful.

Wen Ge rolled over the quilt, opened his sleepy eyes and stared at the white mist outside the window in a daze.Outside the door, the faintly audible voice finally gradually became clear, but she only felt that the warmth in the bed was being swallowed up by the cold air bit by bit, making her teeth chatter from the cold.

The sound outside the door didn't last long, and it soon became quiet.

Wen Ge supported the bed and sat up, listened for a while, then slowly got dressed and jumped out of bed, went to the window and pushed it open, looking out through the rusty anti-theft window.

The fog was so hazy that the distance could not be seen clearly, only the outlines of the buildings on both sides could be vaguely seen.There are already people walking around in the alley, and occasionally there is a rush of car bells, tinkling, and drifting into the distance like the wind.

The cousin fed the little milkman breakfast and was about to send her to school when she caught a glimpse of Wen Ge standing at the window, frowned slightly, let go of the little milkman and walked towards Wen Ge.

"Close the window! I'm afraid that people won't know that my family has raised a person who can only open his mouth to eat?" She pushed the window back, cursing, "It makes me upset just looking at it..."

The little milkman stood not far away, grinning and making faces at Wen Ge, and when he was taken away by his cousin, he turned his hands behind his back and made a victorious "V".

"I want to go to school too..." Wen Ge scratched hard at the wooden window sill, his nails turned blue, his eyes were red again and again, but in the end he didn't let the tears fall.

Both Wen Ge's parents died three months ago, and the grandmother who raised her since she was a child also passed away within a week after hearing the bad news. be adopted.

Wen Ge was in a daze when she suddenly heard the sound of a car's engine coming from outside. Thinking that her cousin and aunt should have gone far away, she carefully opened the window and looked out, only to see a black car parked at the door.

Before she could see clearly, she saw her cousin and aunt walking back with the little milkman, standing beside the car door in surprise and vigilance.

The car window was lowered, and the people in the car didn't know what to say, and my aunt suddenly looked back at Wen Ge.Seeing that the window was ajar, she gave Wen Ge another hard look, her voice suddenly raised: "Close the window, it's so cold, what should I do if I'm freezing?" Close the window before turning back.

Wen Ge continued to look out through the gap in the window.It was already cold winter, and everywhere I could see was a bleak and cold scene, just like her gloomy mood at the moment.

Not long after, there was a slight sound of a car door switch outside, and then in her narrow field of vision, a heroic woman with short hair was walking quickly towards her room.

Behind the woman was the slow-moving aunt and cousin, who opened and closed their mouths as if they were cursing.

Wen Ge had a premonition of something, her heart was beating fast.She pushed open the window and looked out on tiptoe, only in time to see the puzzled eyes of the little milkman who was walking at the back tilting his head to look at her. Then she turned her head and saw Wen Shaoyuan standing by the car door.His gaze was like layers of distant mountains, looking at her from a short distance, deep and peaceful.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped up and walked over, stood in front of the window and gave her a condescending glance, as if he felt that it was inconvenient to speak at such a distance, and bent slightly to look at her: "You are Wen Ge?"

Wen Ge nodded awkwardly, her heartbeat suddenly went out of order, adding to her nervousness.She licked her dry lips and replied seriously: "Hi, I'm Wen Ge."

Wen Shaoyuan curled his lips and smiled imperceptibly, then stood up straighter, and stretched out his hand to her: "Hello, I'm Wen Shaoyuan."

Wen Ge stared at his hands, only to see his slender and white fingers sticking out straight in front of her eyes.She hesitated for a moment, and seeing that he was still waiting patiently for her response, she stretched out her hand and slowly put it into his palm.His hands were dry but warm, wrapping hers tightly.

Wen Ge glanced at him shyly, and asked timidly, "You... are you here to look for me?"

Wen Shaoyuan frowned slightly, let go of his fingers, touched her wrist along her palm and gently clasped it, only to feel that her palm was cold and her wrist was as slender as wood.

He stared at her calmly, his voice was low, and he enunciated each word clearly: "Yes, I came to you."
