I'm a world apart from you

Chapter 26 I want to be with you (10)
"You are much more thoughtful about these things than I am. I also talked too much today because I was a teacher, but I still hope you will think about it carefully. The little girl is single-minded about messing around, and you can't follow her. Her enthusiasm comes quickly, It goes too fast. Such a frivolous age is the most prone to accidents, where do you really know anything, and you will regret it in retrospect."

Such a false statement made Wen Shaoyuan think about it all day.

He couldn't let Wen Ge be alone, but he was bound by these factors for too long, and it was Wen Ge who kept him trapped in the center.

Wen Jingfan once asked him: "It's a good thing for Wen Ge to be adopted by such a family. They can give her the best conditions both materially and spiritually. What else do you worry about?"

Wen Shaoyuan didn't answer this question, he just played with the white chess piece under his fingertips.Looking at the lustrous luster around the chess piece, his heart seemed to have sunk into a bottomless pit, and he couldn't find the bottom.

He is too indulgent and special to Wen Ge, not only others don't understand, but he himself can't fully figure out why he treats her like this.Many of the things he did to her did not conform to his style of conduct. He lost his composure, self-control, and sense of proportion. It would not be enough to use the word "soft-hearted" to explain it.

Xu Liqing's words made an idea pop up in his mind, but it was too vague, and when he was about to catch it, it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

As for Wen Jingfan's question, he vaguely had an answer - how could he be relieved of someone who was not under his nose and was about to have an emergency in a few days?Now that it is in charge, there is no reason to throw it away halfway.

Wen Shaoyuan pinched the center of his brows, put away the pen a little irritably, and looked down at the white paper under his hand, which was already full of words - Wen Ge.

Just two days later, when Wen Ge's situation stabilized, the policewoman Bai Wei and her colleagues who were in charge of Wen Ge's transcripts at the scene that night came to the door.

Wen Shaoyuan was about to go out, seeing this, he stayed first.

Wen Ge's voice is still a little hoarse, like a handful of gravel, there is a slight rough feeling when the sound collides, and some syllables can't even be pronounced clearly, and when they can't be expressed in words, they are written on paper.

Wen Ge's memory is good, and his expressions are complete and clear enough, even speaking and writing, the whole transcript is quite relaxed and pleasant.

Bai Wei only occasionally asked a question just right for her to follow along when she paused because she didn't know what to say.Her voice is gentle, her eyebrows are stretched, and whenever she looks at her, she seems to be smiling with her eyes bent, full of affinity.

Wen Ge could even remember the details of what happened that day. It's not that she didn't have any fears, it's just that she habitually suppressed her emotions and didn't show them.Now talking and recalling, her originally rosy face was as pale as paper, obviously the experience of that night left a deep psychological shadow on her.

After finishing the notes, Bai Wei put on the cap of her pen, her gaze stayed on Wen Ge's slightly pale face for a moment, and she smiled slightly: "Wen Ge, let's get to know each other again."

Wen Yan, Wen Ge looked at her suspiciously, but didn't make a sound.

"I'm Bai Junyi's older sister——Bai Wei."

Wen Ge just picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip to moisten his throat, but when he heard this, his hands trembled and he almost lost his grip.

With quick hands and quick eyes, Bai Wei firmly supported her wrist, with her eyes bent, she smiled extra softly: "I often hear Xiao Yi mentioning you."

mention her?I guess it's not a positive image, right?Hearing the song, he was slightly embarrassed.

The next topic naturally revolved around Bai Junyi. Fortunately, Bai Wei didn't seem to know that they usually get along with each other more often than not, so they had a very happy conversation.

After a short chat, Bai Wei packed up her things and left because she still had work to do.

There was no one at home, so Aunt Xin went back to Wen's house to collect the quilt after lunch.

These two days, although Aunt Xin stayed at Wen Shaoyuan's place to take care of Wen Ge, but at night, Wen Shaoyuan would send her back to Wen's house to rest.This morning, when the sun was shining, I dried the quilt and went out, but it didn’t take long after lunch. The day changed, fearing that it would rain and wet the quilt, so Aunt Xin cleaned up the kitchen and was picked up by Uncle Zhang.

As for Wen Shaoyuan, Wen Ge never saw him, and she even poured the tea for the two policewomen. She thought Wen Shaoyuan had already gone to Shengyuan, so she got up to give it away.

As soon as Bai Wei stepped out of the room, she heard the sound of the door opening. Following the sound, she happened to meet Wen Shaoyuan's eyes.His eyes were calm, and when he met them, he felt cold and without warmth, but there was a faint smile on his face, which only made people feel cold, not alienated and indifferent.

This glance was just a breath, and in the blink of an eye, Wen Shaoyuan nodded his head slightly, as a greeting, his eyes turned, and the next second fell on the little girl behind her.

Bai Wei looked back.

Wen Ge also saw Wen Shaoyuan at this moment, his eyes lit up: "Uncle, are you still at home?"

Wen Shaoyuan hummed lightly, and stepped forward: "I'll take you out."

Bai Wei nodded, with a smile on her lips, gentle and kind: "Are you Wen Ge's uncle?"

All along, people always mentioned him as "the president of Shengyuan Hotel" or "Old Wen's grandson", but this was the first time I heard someone say "You are Wen Ge's uncle".

Wen Shaoyuan glanced at her indiscriminately, without any abnormality on his face, and nodded slightly as a response.

If Bai Wei hadn't seen how softly he spoke to the little girl behind him that night, she would almost have thought that this was his nature.Sensing his alienation, she suppressed her smile and explained: "What a coincidence, my younger brother and Wen Ge are in the same class. I heard that they have been at the same table for two years. They have a very good relationship."

Wen Shaoyuan's footsteps stopped, and a name immediately popped up in his mind - Bai Junyi.

Speaking of which, he is no stranger to this name, the probability of Wen Ge mentioning it in front of him is [-] out of [-], as long as it talks about things in the school, it is no surprise that this person exists.

He glanced at Wen Ge who was following with his head down, and when he turned his head, he said with a calm expression, "Really? My niece doesn't like to talk, but I haven't heard her mention it before."

Wen Ge's pricked ears trembled, and he looked suspiciously at Wen Shaoyuan who was walking in front of her.

The smile on Bai Wei's lips froze, and there was a moment of embarrassment, but it was only a moment before returning to normal: "So that's how it is." After saying that, she had already walked to the door.

Bai Wei turned around and glanced at Wen Ge, squatted down, and gently took her hand: "Xiao Yi wants to visit you on Saturday afternoon, is it convenient for you?"

Wen Shaoyuan frowned, put his hands on Wen Ge's shoulders, and answered for her: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient, I'm going to take her to L City in these two days."

If it wasn't for the apologetic tone and the similar expression, Bai Wei would have felt that Wen Shaoyuan didn't want to see her anymore.

"It doesn't matter." Bai Wei let go of her hand and took a step back.

The colleague had already opened the door and walked out, but she didn't stay any longer, said goodbye to Wen Ge, then turned and left.

Seeing the figures of Bai Wei and her colleagues disappear around the corner, Wen Ge closed the door.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Wen Shaoyuan who was standing behind her and hadn't looked back.

She raised her head, looked at Wen Shaoyuan with a calm face, and muttered, "Uncle, when did you say you were going to take me to City L?"

Wen Shaoyuan didn't answer immediately, his eyes fell on her face, he stayed for a moment, and then asked lightly: "You don't want to go?"

That voice was like the fallen leaves that can be seen everywhere on the streets of City A in early autumn, falling from the branches, and there was a slight irresistible crisp sound, which made Wen Ge unable to distinguish what was hidden in his words for a while. thought.

She pursed her lips, remembering that after she broke up with Wen Shaoyuan not long ago, she got angry and didn't go to L City with him.At first, she thought that if he came to persuade him, even if it was just a sentence, she would immediately wag her tail and follow, but what happened later?He didn't ask, didn't mention it, as if it had never happened.

He never promised to take her back to see her grandma, or offer incense to her, and she never longed to go back to her homeland or grandma's tombstone, let alone at this juncture, her high school entrance examination is coming soon, and Xu Liqing is also in N... City, did not rush back.

Thinking of this, Wen Ge felt a little puzzled again. He always felt that Wen Shaoyuan proposed to take her to L City at this time, what purpose did he have, but what could he have in mind for her?
Seeing her hesitation, Wen Shaoyuan bent down slightly, looked at her at the same level, his tone softened, with a bit of coaxing: "Leave tomorrow afternoon, come back on Sunday, and go back to school on Monday! Huh?"

The last syllable has a rising tone, a bit lazy, a bit tired, but it is numb to the bone.

Wen Ge's mind became hot, he didn't want to think about anything, and nodded in agreement in a daze.

It was not only Wen Ge, the person involved, but also Aunt Xin who heard about it at the dinner table.

She frowned in disapproval, and at the same time she protested, she didn't forget to scoop up a bowl of soup for Wen Ge and add it to the bowl at hand: "Take her to L City when she's healthy, and she's still in school... You let Wen Ge's What does the adoptive mother think?"

Wen Ge concentrated on drinking the soup, but his ears paid attention to Wen Shaoyuan's answer.

"She knows." His voice was a little vague, he paused for a moment, looked at Wen Ge who was pretending, bent his fingers slightly, tapped on the table, and warned in a calm tone: "Concentrate on eating."

"Don't bully her all the time." Aunt Xin glared at Wen Shaoyuan, and defended dissatisfiedly.

Wen Shaoyuan looked at Wen Ge who secretly raised his head and showed a smug expression, his expression was indistinguishable. After a long time, he helped his forehead, feeling a little helpless——Who bullied whom?

Only staying for two days, Wen Ge didn't bring a lot of things, he only packed a schoolbag, and got on the plane with it.

Before her grandmother passed away, she left the house to her, but she couldn't even go back home in the past few years, and the house was definitely uninhabitable. Therefore, Wen Shaoyuan said to take her to the hotel for two days. Although she felt a little regretful, it was fine. unhappy.

After sleeping all night on the plane, although the comfort was not enough, Wen Ge was in good spirits. When he set foot on this land again, even the air he breathed felt somewhat familiar.

Had lunch in the hotel restaurant, and was not idle in the afternoon, Wen Ge and Wen Shaoyuan went shopping in the street together.

City L is a famous tourist city, with the beauty of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Even when it rains, it has its own style.That old street occupies half of L city. Several rivers converge together, twisting and winding. The river water is clear and rippling. Just looking at the scenery, you can immerse yourself in the gentleness of this water town.

Early the next morning, the two went to visit their grandmother.

The early morning in the cemetery was full of water vapor, but after entering the cemetery gate for a short time, the hair on his forehead was soaked in mist, and the cool air made Wen Ge's nose ache.

There is only grandma here. She bought a bouquet of flowers on the way here, and regardless of the wet stone steps, she knelt down in front of the grave and respectfully placed the flowers.

Wen Shaoyuan stood beside her, looking at the black-and-white photo on the tombstone for a long time, then looked away, and walked a few steps away to look at her.

She straightened her back, her expression was docile, her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was trying to restrain herself.

He looked at it, and felt a dull feeling in his heart. It was a feeling of heaviness that he had felt since he stepped into the cemetery.

Wen Ge knew that the whole morning was her own, and she babbled a lot, complaining about too much homework, complaining about the "bad" behavior of the deskmate, always bullying her, complaining about the bad school lunch... just complaining about these insignificant things She didn't say a word about how bad it was for her to be alone for the past two years.
