I'm a world apart from you

Chapter 39 The Difference Between You and Me (1)
Wen Ge had a dream, dreaming that his 17-year-old self had returned home.

The rain in City L has soaked the entire city, the gray and black eaves are dripping with water, and there is a trace of coolness in the air.The bluestone slabs paved on the ancient street extend all the way, weaving alleys and alleys extending in all directions.Yellowed paper was pasted on the gray and white walls on both sides, and the handwriting on the paper was blurred by the rain.There is a touch of emerald green at the base of the wall, tenderly protruding out, and can pinch out the clear water color.

Wen Ge walked straight along this road, and the rain soaked her shoes, making them feel damp and cool.

At the end of the alley is the moat, the water is green and clear, like a fine emerald, and the rainwater falls, creating circles of ripples.Occasionally, a black-covered boat passed by on the river, with the oars swinging back and forth.

I don't know where the wind chime came from, Wen Ge followed the sound and walked all the way forward.

As soon as I turned a corner, I saw my grandma. She was sitting at the door of the house, wearing thick reading glasses and hanging her head like a straw hat.

As soon as Wen Ge walked over, grandma raised her head, smiled slightly, her voice was familiar and warm: "Xiao Geer is back? There is mung bean soup for you in the room."

I don't know who's cooking smoke is rising, and it is slowly being carried away by the wind. With the rain curtain, it is like a thick fog, with a fairy air.

Wen Ge squatted down, and hesitantly stretched out his hand to hold grandma's: "Grandma?"

Grandma raised her glasses to look at her, then gently touched her face: "My little Ge'er has grown up and is a big girl."

Wen Ge's nose was sour, tears fell instantly, and he buried his face in grandma's palm, sobbing: "After so long, are you finally willing to see me?"

Grandma raised her hand and gently rubbed her hair, smiling kindly: "Xiao Ge'er is doing well, grandma is relieved, so she won't come."

Wen Ge was so crying that she couldn't speak, the sound of raindrops falling from the eaves and falling to the ground could be clearly heard in her ears, the splashing water was cool and had a moist fragrance.

"Smell the song."

The peaceful and sweet dreams were shattered, and Wen Ge suddenly turned her head. In the white mist, she was standing alone on the black-covered boat that was slowly drifting forward. As soon as she passed under the arch bridge, she saw behind the wooden railing on the shore. , Wen Shaoyuan stood with his hands behind his back, staring at her intently, and called softly: "Wen Ge."

She woke up in an instant and sat up with the cold quilt in her arms.

There was only one night light left in the room, and the warm orange light was warm and bright.

Wen Ge clutched his still aching chest, palpitations.

The dream just now was so real that she even heard Wen Shaoyuan's voice.

She wiped the cold sweat off the bridge of her nose, took a breath, and was about to get out of bed when the door opened, and a familiar figure pushed in.

half an hour ago.

An Ran opened the door to let Wen Shaoyuan enter the room, went to the kitchen to make tea for the waiter, and was about to go to the room to wake Wen Ge, when he heard him ask: "Did she fall asleep?"

Sui Anran was startled, and nodded with a smile: "Well, I just fell asleep for a while. Sit down for a while, and I'll wake her up."

"Since she just fell asleep, don't rush to wake her up."

Hearing this, An Ran took a serious look at him, turned around and sat down on the sofa opposite him, and calmly poured himself a glass of water.

"Wen Ge should have mentioned me to Mr. Wen. My name is Sui Anran. I am a friend Wen Ge met when he was in L City." After speaking, she smiled slightly, her smile was quiet, and her gentle voice made people feel at ease And, "she came to me last night, her eyes were swollen from crying. I asked why, and she said she was joking with you too much."

Sui Anran glanced at Wen Shaoyuan calmly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. Those eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, bright and clear: "She is young, ignorant, doesn't think about things before and after, and is not mature enough. I am more mature than her." A few years older, maybe it is presumptuous to say these words in front of you, but for her, Mr. Wen is very important."

After saying this, she took a careful look at Wen Shaoyuan and saw that she was not impatient, so she was relieved.

From the moment Wen Shaoyuan entered the room just now, she felt his restrained aura and sensed his politeness to her, so she had the courage to say these words for Wen Ge, so that the relationship between the two of them would not be so rigid. I just don't know if it will work for him.

Without waiting for Wen Shaoyuan's response, Anran pointed out the location of her room to him: "She sleeps in my room."

After finishing speaking, An Ran used the excuse of going to work on the thesis, and went to the study with the computer in his arms.

Wen Shaoyuan didn't sit for long, drank a few sips of tea, then got up to watch Wen Ge.

He didn't take his time to observe the layout of the room. After entering the room, he turned on the wall lamp, and at a glance he saw Wen Ge curled up on the bed in the small bedroom.

The windows are wide open, and the night breeze rolls into the house with the street lights outside the window, bringing the coolness of late spring and early summer.

The person sleeping on the bed didn't have the slightest sense of keeping warm. The thin quilt was placed on the stomach, and the hands and feet were exposed, a large part of which was white and tender.

Wen Shaoyuan frowned subconsciously, went to close the window first, walked to the bed and was about to wake her up, only to find that she was crying.

The hand that was about to touch her froze in the air, Wen Shaoyuan looked down at her, his whole face was obscured in the darkness.

She should have been crying for a while, and under the dim light, the tear stains on her face were clearly visible.The eyelids were slightly swollen and pink, and the eyelashes were wet and trembling slightly.The lips parted slightly, as if to say something.

"Why are you crying..." He murmured helplessly, and gently grasped her wrist with his outstretched hand, and touched her arm, which was cold as expected.

The person who was still asleep whimpered, turned over suddenly, hugged the arm that he hadn't retracted in time, pressed the warm face to his palm, and then, a low, inaudible sound "Grandma" overflowed from her mouth, she shrank back, and rubbed over again.

Wen Shaoyuan's heart suddenly softened.

Originally, I thought that after I found her, I must let her know the consequences of "leaving without saying goodbye, running away from home", but now, she is as fragile as a little animal, curled up by his hand, hugging his arm in her sleep Crying so sadly, he lost his temper all of a sudden, he only had eyes on her, and only saw her dependence at the moment.

He sighed softly, leaned sideways on the head of the bed in this posture, and looked at her quietly with lowered eyes.

The facial features have opened up a lot, although she is still a little childish, but she can vaguely see what she will look like in the future.Unsuspecting, fluffy ball in sleep.At this moment, holding his arm, her cheek was pressed against his palm, and the hot air she exhaled made his palm itch slightly.

Just as Wen Shaoyuan wanted to avoid this uncontrollable feeling, with a slight movement, his fingers brushed her lips, soft and warm, his body froze suddenly, and he didn't dare to move anymore.

His other hand pinched the center of his brow, feeling extremely helpless.

Forget it, what's the point of getting angry with her? 17 years old, just ignorant adolescence, how can what you say count?It's just that some things that he has been deliberately ignoring in the past really need to be taken seriously.

Thinking of this, Wen Shaoyuan gradually became tired. He withdrew his eyes and looked into the distance from the window. When he became more conscious, he gently withdrew his hand and pinched her cheek with a little force.

"Smell the song."

The sleeping person hummed vaguely, his eyelids moved, lazily, but he didn't open his eyes.

Wen Shaoyuan waited for a while, but she didn't wake up, stood up, covered the quilt for her again, turned off the wall lamp, left a small night light behind, and opened the door to go out.

When Wen Shaoyuan came back with a wet towel, Wen Ge had already woken up and was sitting on the bed blankly, looking at him who opened the door without blinking his dark eyes.

Her hair was messed up from sleep, the tear stains on her face were clearly visible, the tip of her nose was still dripping with sweat, her cheeks on both sides were bright red when she just woke up, she looked distressed and loving.

Before he could open his mouth, the person who was still in a daze for a second rolled over from a sitting position to a kneeling position, and shrank back into the bed.

Wen Ge's eyes widened, and he looked at Wen Shaoyuan who appeared here in disbelief, and his brain "crashed" instantly: "Little, uncle?"

Although Wen Shaoyuan didn't intend to argue with her anymore, he still didn't give her a good face and looked at her sullenly for a while.

While staring at each other silently, Wen Ge understood what he meant, obediently moved to the side of the bed, turned a blind eye to the towel he handed over, raised his head, and looked at him shamelessly: "Uncle wipe it for me. "

It is a typical example of forgetting the pain when the scar is healed.

Fortunately, Wen Shaoyuan had figured it out before, otherwise he would probably have the heart to throw the towel on her face right now.

Wen Shaoyuan doesn't often do this kind of meticulous work, but his strength is moderate.

Wen Ge raised his face and sighed contentedly, carefully scrutinized his face several times, and then asked cautiously: "Uncle, are we reconciled?"

Wen Shaoyuan didn't answer directly, but glanced at her, his eyes undiminished: "Follow me after wiping your face." In an irresistible tone.

Wen Ge didn't dare to resist, his mind was in a mess and he didn't say anything. Ever since he saw him just now, he was pleasantly surprised and excited. He didn't remember the cold face he put on the day before. He really wanted to wag his tail for a little sweetness.

Let Wen Shaoyuan wipe his face obediently, and seeing him turn around to go out, she quickly tugged on his cuff: "Uncle, I dreamed about my grandma just now, she said I was not good, let me make you an apology, I will do it later Stop talking nonsense."

Wen Shaoyuan understood such nonsense words, she was explaining what happened yesterday afternoon.

Wen Shaoyuan turned his head and glanced at her, just in time to meet her obsidian-like bright eyes, and she was looking at him with a faint smile.

"No next time." He compromised.

Wen Ge immediately raised the corners of his lips and smiled, a bright smile flashed in those eyes, as bright as a meteor passing by, and when Wen Shaoyuan looked intently again, it had already disappeared.

"Uncle, you should have met An Ran, right? She is a major in hotel management at A Hotel. You see, her appearance, temperament, and conversation are very good. Can you arrange a place for her in Shengyuan?" Wen Ge Jump out of bed, step on the cold floor, and follow him to the door.

"An Ran's studies are also very good. Anyway, he's going to practice in a hotel, so the fat doesn't flow to outsiders... Uncle, you..." Before he could finish speaking, Wen Ge bumped into Wen Shaoyuan who suddenly turned around.

Before she could rub her forehead, she was carried away by Wen Shaoyuan, and after a few steps away from him, she heard him ask: "Have you made your own decision or have you asked her what she means?"

Wen Ge was stopped by the question, blinked, and looked at him innocently, as if saying——Shengyuan Hotel is now one of the few big hotels in City A, so what else is there to ask? ?

Wen Shaoyuan remembered what An Ran said to him just now, "She is young, ignorant, and does not think things through, she is not mature enough", and suddenly smiled.

It doesn't matter if you are immature, you have him to protect you.

This silent tug-of-war had ended before even the smoke of gunpowder was ignited.

Wen Ge chose to pretend to be stupid, and never mentioned this untimely "confession" after returning home.

Wen Shaoyuan also seemed to have completely forgotten that Wen Ge ran away from home this time, and he did not settle accounts after Qiu Hou, nor did he show any face to her again.

Everything is back to the beginning.

Are you worthless?But more than anything else, Wen Ge was even more panicked and frightened by not losing Wen Shaoyuan.

His existence has been engraved into her life, and she cannot give up, cannot let go.

Wen Shiqian came the next day, didn't ask the reason, just put on the air of a sister-in-law and scolded Wen Ge, his tone was merciless, but Wen Ge was very comfortable to listen to.

Her wedding is approaching, and she has been busy preparing for the wedding recently, so she only stayed for lunch together, and then hurried back.

In addition, Wen Shaoyuan really vacated a position for Sui Anran in Shengyuan Hotel and asked her to come for an interview first.

When Wen Ge heard the news, she was even more excited than the person involved. If it wasn't for the fact that the interview day was Saturday, and Wen Shiqian took her back to Wen's house, she would have pestered Wen Shaoyuan to ask about the result.

Probably because he knew that she was fidgeting and waiting for news, Wen Shaoyuan didn't let it go, and called her even if she couldn't come back.

Since he wanted to let Anran enter the hotel, he would not deliberately make things difficult. Even if his performance was not outstanding, as long as he reached the pass line, he would be able to get a pass to Shengyuan Hotel. What's more, with Anran's interview results, several interviewers were very satisfied .

It's just that within a few days of this kind of life, an uninvited guest suddenly broke the carefully maintained peace and set off a turbulent wave in the world of Wen Ge.

On Sunday afternoon, Wen Ge accompanied the old man to water the flowers in the back garden.

It has been a sunny day for several days, and the sun is shining brightly. These flowers and plants have just shaken off the frost of winter, and they are too delicate to withstand the scorching sun.

The old man trimmed the flowers and leaves with great interest, and on the wooden table beside him were the cakes that Aunt Xin brought not long ago. Wen Ge rested his chin on both hands, and stuffed the pastries into his mouth while listening to the old man talking about his entrepreneurial experience when he was young.

When he talked about his history of struggle, the old man blushed, full of complacency.That was his battlefield. He went to battle in common clothes, and he fought for himself and his descendants all his life. All his achievements today are his medals. How can he not be proud and complacent?In particular, if you listen to the song carefully, you can speak it vigorously.

Before the old man finished speaking, Aunt Xin came across from the front hall and said that there were guests at home.

There are quite a few guests who come to Wen's house, usually the Jinlan brothers whom the old man has been friends with all his life. They stay at home leisurely, walking birds, playing chess, raising flowers, and teasing cats. Their retired life is more comfortable and pleasant than anyone else's.

The old man didn't even ask who was here, he took the water and washed his hands, and went to the front hall with Aunt Xin.

The sun was just going to the west, so I chose this time to visit, and I don't know if I decided to stay and have a meal.

Wen Ge was free, learned to cut the branches and leaves of flowers and plants, fiddled back and forth several times, not at all as handy as the old man just now, and was afraid of being nagged by the old man, so he just sat by the wooden flower stand and drank her wine afternoon tea.

Unexpectedly, before she could swallow the sweet and greasy pastry, Aunt Xin called her out: "Wen Ge, the old man asked you to come too."

Wen Ge's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Aunt Xin suspiciously, not daring to delay, hurriedly washed his hands and followed.

Just after drying his hands and stepping into the room, Wen Ge couldn't help being stunned when he looked up and suddenly saw Bai Wei sitting on the sofa in the living room and another strange old man.After standing in the door of the living room for a long time, she came back to her senses, made up her mind, and walked over calmly.

The old man smiled kindly, waved to her, and introduced to the two guests present: "This is my great-granddaughter, Wen Jing's daughter Wen Ge."

Wen Ge obediently called "Grandpa", and when he turned to meet Bai Wei's smiling eyes, he paused and called "Sister".

The old man asked Wen Ge to sit beside him, and heard what Bai Wei said. Although the eyes he was looking at her now were still kind and gentle, they were vaguely deep and restrained.Instead of talking about the previous topic with Bai Wei, he talked about Wen Shaoyuan with the old man who looked about 70 or [-] years old.

Wen Ge listened quietly for a while, and finally understood that this old man was Bai Junyi's grandfather. He was a very good friend with the old man's eldest son. When he was young, he often visited Wen's house.

It's just because before Bai Junyi went to junior high school, his family all settled in other provinces, so he didn't travel frequently. Now that his grandson is in high school, and he's idle at home, he came to visit and recognize relatives.

Bai Wei, who was sitting at the side and kept quiet all the time, always had a slight smile on her lips, her eyes were full of light, and her eyes were gentle. Occasionally, when the old man said something funny, she would even chuckle a few times in coordination, which was just right, and would not Stage fright, well-spoken.

Inadvertently meeting Wen Ge's eyes, she always squints her eyes and smiles, looking very familiar.

Wen Ge sat with him for a long time, and gradually felt the smell.

The old man communicated with each other in such a friendly manner, and praised each other's grandsons and granddaughters one by one. The purpose was so obvious that he almost stamped it. If she still can't hear it, it's really been so many years——The Bai family Grandpa, he's playing with Wen Shaoyuan!

After trying to understand this point, Wen Ge couldn't sit still any longer. She always felt that a few people were talking in harmony, and she was extremely awkward, and Bai Wei's crooked eyes made her feel inexplicably jealous. Wei's goodwill disappeared.

With a fire in his heart, Wen Ge couldn't sit still any longer, so he found an excuse and left the living room.
