I'm a world apart from you

Chapter 74: You and Me, Who Were Treated Favorably by Time (1)
"Be careful." Wen Shaoyuan watched Wen Ge's last few steps with trepidation as he rushed down the stairs step by step, and quickly stepped forward to catch her.

Wen Ge rushed down fast and fiercely, Wen Shaoyuan took a step back before letting go of that force, and hugged her firmly in his arms: "What's wrong?"

Wen Shaoyuan patted Wen Ge's back lightly. When he heard her violent and rapid panting, the movements of his hands paused, his brows frowned even tighter, and he looked down at the woman buried near his neck. Head: "It's all right, huh?"

Running too fast, he stopped suddenly, and Wen Ge realized that his throat was choked by the wind, and it was slightly stinging at this moment.She swallowed a few times as smoothly as possible before replying, "It's too dark up there, I'm afraid."

Hearing this, Wen Shaoyuan looked up at the bright stairs and the skylight that was pouring soft sunlight, the hand on her waist tightened slightly, the words of doubt came to his lips, when he looked down and saw her pale snow-like cheeks, finally It became a sentence: "Well, I am here, what are you afraid of?"

I don't know if the phrase "I'm here" comforted Wen Ge, she let go of his collar tightly, fell down and wrapped around his waist, opened her mouth and bit his delicate collarbone: "I'm lying .”

There was a bit of frustration and helplessness hidden in that muffled voice, and it fell into Wen Shaoyuan's ears, sweeping away the irritability and depression caused by her subconscious concealment, and she actually wanted to laugh so much.

In fact, he did laugh out loud, but he didn't dare to be too arrogant, the laughter was low, and his chest trembled slightly.

Wen Ge pouted, and moved the hand around his waist to his back, and twisted it lightly through the thin material.

"I know." Wen Shaoyuan raised his head slightly, put his chin on the top of her hair, the soft and smooth touch made him unable to close his eyes, and the tiredness from not sleeping all night surged up, "I know. "

He repeated the phrase "I know" twice, and the latter one was a little hoarse, with a soft and magnetic voice, which made Wen Ge's ears soften, his heart numb, and the tip of his nose felt sour.

"I know a lot of things that you think I don't understand or don't know." Wen Shaoyuan raised his hand and gently rubbed her short, fluffy hair. "We still have a long, long time. The uncertainty now, Fear and hesitation are things we have to experience together. Although time treats me favorably, it will take away a lot of things as it moves forward, so don't be afraid, let's take our time."

His voice carried the coolness of the morning mist, the warmth of the rising sun, and the power to comfort her, smoothing away the long-standing wrinkles in her heart one by one.

"There is nothing to be afraid of, as long as you are still here, as long as I still love you."

His voice fell in her ears, like the Sanskrit sound that passed through the ancient dust, echoing cleanly.

Wen Ge closed her eyes, rubbed her forehead against his coat, and gave a muffled hum.

Many things, only experienced together, can cross the torrent of time.

After hugging for a while, when Wen Ge's mood stabilized, Wen Shaoyuan tilted his head and kissed her closed eyes: "Open your eyes, look at me."

With a slight coolness, his soft lips fell on her eyelids, which was indescribably comfortable.

Wen Ge opened his eyes, still wrapped his arms around his waist, looked up at him: "Huh?"

His face was handsome and soft in the morning light, with deep outlines, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be imprinted in a painting, with thick colors.

"It's nothing, just look at you." He smiled again, the breeze was like the moon.

With only a few days until New Year's Eve, Xu Liqing finally had a holiday.

This year's Chinese New Year is finally a bit more lively at home, not only Wen Ge came back, but also Wen Shaoyuan with him.

On the first day of the holiday, Xu Liqing took Wen Shaoyuan and Wen Ge to buy new year's goods.

In one morning, the New Year's goods were almost ready.

After going home for dinner, Xu Liqing and her husband were going to buy some outfits, so they left first.

When Wen Ge packed up the dishes and came out, Wen Shaoyuan was standing in the living room waiting for her with her scarf and coat in his arms.

"Want to go out?"

"Take me out for a walk." He stepped forward, put the coat on her, and carefully tied the scarf for her. After looking around, he took her hand and stuffed it into his pocket: "Go Where you want to take me."

"Where do I want to take you?" Wen Ge frowned and thought for a while, then scratched his head, "Is there any place I want to take you?"

"Ask me?" Wen Shaoyuan hooked his lips and smiled, and gently scratched the tip of her nose with his fingers, "Didn't you have many places you wanted to take me to?"

Wen Ge still looked at him in bewilderment.

"A long time ago." Wen Shaoyuan reminded.

Wen Ge suddenly flashed a lot of memory fragments in his mind, and asked uncertainly: "I told you before, where do I want to take you?"

"No." Wen Shaoyuan clenched her soft and delicate hand in his pocket, and squeezed it lightly, until she was dissatisfied with his distraction and twisted him backhandedly, then he looked up at her, "You told uncle, I told the teacher, but I didn't tell me the person you want to take away."

That night, the three of them stayed up all night and had a discussion meeting, which was only interrupted by Xu Liqing when it was almost dawn.

That smoky night left hazy and warm memories in his heart.In the flickering cigarette butts, he listened to Mr. Xu Liqing's narration, and in his mind was her when she was 17 years old.

When she propped her chin and lowered her eyebrows and smiled, her eyes were like two leaves, she pointed to a certain place with a little embarrassment, and said, "I will bring my uncle here in the future."

There are no redundant people in her world, but he is the unique existence in her heart, her savior, and she places all her beliefs on.

She cared about him unabashedly in many places he could see and couldn't see, and liked him.

This kind of entrusted all the feelings is the most profound and heavy.

The place where Wen Ge took Wen Shao far was Book City.

The snow stopped for a few days, and with New Year’s Eve approaching, not only the street, but also the bookstore was full of people, most of them were children on winter vacation, sitting in the reading room in twos and threes, or standing in front of the bookshelf reading books, From a distance, there is almost no open space.

There is heating in the book city, and the air is a bit stuffy.

Wen Ge took off the scarf and held it in his hand, pointing to the second floor: "Let's go upstairs."

Wen Shaoyuan responded, put his arms around her shoulders, separated the crowd, and went upstairs together.

There are fewer people on the second floor, and the reddish-brown bookshelves exude a lustrous luster under the soft light, like ancient books that have been opened, with a heavy sense of history, rushing towards the face.

Wen Ge walked around the bookshelf familiarly, took his hand and walked to the window at the end.

The frosted glass reflects the lighting on the ceiling, which is cold and harsh.

The bookshelves here are filled with unpopular books, and few people come here.

There are two old tables side by side behind the bookshelf, backlit, covered with dust as if abandoned by time.

"I like to read books here. I took the books from the first floor and ran to the second floor to read." Wen Ge pointed to the two tables, "The first time I came here, I took a map. From here, it happened The direction of City A is also the direction of Shengyuan."

Wen Shaoyuan pulled her to sit down.

"I figured it out all afternoon, so I'm very happy." Wen Ge looked at him with her chin resting on her cheek, recalling the past that she wanted to abandon at this moment, carrying the beauty bestowed by time, "I remember very clearly, it was summer vacation, It was the first time I was brought to City N by my mother. I thought I would go back to City A after the summer vacation and see you, so I looked forward to and thought about it every day. look at you."

Once upon a time, just one direction, I can remember it as you.

"Later, I found out that my mother wanted me to stay in City N. I didn't want to, so I did something inappropriate for the first time. I used the excuse of coming to the book city to read, and then bought a ticket to go back to City A." Wen Ge stared at it for a long time. The white light reflected by the frosted glass was in a trance, and I felt that my eyes could not see clearly, so I moved my eyes away, "Do you think I love you or not?"

She obviously had her eyes bent, but the faint bitterness in her tone made Wen Shaoyuan's whole heart twitch.

He held her hand, feeling numb in his heart, and lowered his head to press a kiss on the back of her hand: "I love it, I love it very much."

His voice was low and hoarse, with an affirmative tone, as if he was answering her question, and seemed to be expressing his own feelings.

Wen Ge has always known his influence on her, raised the corners of her lips, and pouted at him: "Then can you kiss me?"

At that time, I only wanted to have the opportunity to hold hands with him, but even such a small wish was hard to come true.

"Okay." Wen Shaoyuan bent his lips and smiled, stood up, bent down, across the table, and lowered his head to kiss her.

The sunlight projected from the window fell on the profiles of the two people, rendering it into a permanent ink painting.

ten years.

do you still love me

When Wen Ge and Wen Shaoyuan came back from Book City, Xu Liqing was already cooking in the kitchen wearing an apron.

There are several cold dishes on the dining table, which look particularly bright under the warm orange light, and the aroma of the food makes people's index fingers move and salivate.

Wen Ge quietly took a bite out of her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The hot and sour taste made her empty her stomach all afternoon and immediately sang "Empty City Strategies".

Xu Liqing was holding the Dongpo meat just out of the pot, and when she turned around, she saw Wen Ge stealing food like a little mouse, she shook her head helplessly and laughed, then turned to the living room and shouted: "Shaoyuan, this little mouse in the restaurant Don't you care about the rat?"

Wen Shaoyuan was talking to Xu Liqing's husband. Hearing this, he turned his head to look over, raised his lips slightly, got up and walked over.

Walking closer, seeing that the corners of her mouth were still stained with pepper, he pressed down the corners of her upturned lips, deliberately putting on a serious expression.As a result, this expression didn't last long, and when he saw the moist black eyes she was looking at, he immediately failed.

He stretched out his hand, and patted Wen Ge's hand holding the chopsticks: "Have you washed your hands?"

Wen Ge's chopsticks were like a puppy with a bone in his mouth, his bright black eyes were full of tenderness.

Wen Shaoyuan took the Dongpo meat from Xu Liqing's hand and put it on the heat insulation mat: "Teacher, how many dishes are missing? I'll help."

Xu Liqing was Wen Shaoyuan's professor at university. Although Wen Ge had been entrusted to her for adoption, he still called Xu Liqing "Teacher". This title has not changed in the past ten years.

But Xu Liqing was very pleased with this, so he let him go.

Today, hearing him call her "teacher" so naturally, Xu Liqing couldn't help thinking, if one day he changed his name, would he feel awkward?
Xu Liqing was in a trance, Wen Shaoyuan had already lowered his head and unbuttoned his cuffs, folding them up a few times.

Just as he was about to roll up the other sleeve, Wen Ge stretched out his hand, fingers resting on his wrist, slender and fair.She raised her head and glanced at him, those eyes were crooked, seeming to be smiling, rippling under the light, they were indescribably bright.

One hand was inconvenient, so she simply put the chopsticks in her mouth, and her slightly cool fingertips passed over his arm, like a dragonfly on water, soft to the touch.

Wen Ge unbuttoned it and folded it up along his arm. As soon as he raised his head, he met his smiling eyes, like a deep ancient well, quiet and peaceful.

Wen Ge paused, and squeezed his hand with the hand that hadn't been withdrawn, and suddenly laughed: "I'm hungry."

Wen Shaoyuan held her restless hand back, and while Xu Liqing wasn't paying attention, he pulled it to his lips and kissed it: "Well, I'll cook for you."

This sound was deliberately subdued and gentle, like the mellow aroma of wine, with a strong aroma.

Wen Ge bit his chopsticks, looking at his back melting into the light, thoughtful.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, snowflakes began to fall in N City, which hadn't snowed for a long time.

At the entrance of the shopping mall near the community, a thin layer of snow has accumulated on the temporary stage. From the window, people occasionally pass by with umbrellas, but they also leave in a hurry.

Wen Ge was sitting next to Xu Liqing making dumplings. Her hands were clumsy, either she put too much stuffing, or the dumplings were made in odd shapes.When Wen Shaoyuan came back from a trip, what he saw was a row of dumplings she had placed crookedly on the table.

He took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, then Wen Shaoyuan pulled out the chair and sat down beside her.His body still had the chill in the snow, fresh and moist, with a cool dampness.

Wen Ge tilted his head and sniffed, his brows subconsciously frowned: "Didn't you bring an umbrella?"

"En." He responded, watching Xu Liqing's making dumplings intently, and after a while, he also tried to make one.

I don't know if it's because a person with slender fingers looks good in everything. The simple making of dumplings, under his slender and white fingers, is like carving a fine work, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Wen Ge watched intently, and when his first finished product came out, he frowned, not very happy: "Uncle, you used to know how to make dumplings, right?"

Wen Shaoyuan turned his head to look at her, didn't speak, but his eyes were clearly asking her - do you think it's possible?

In fact, Wen Shaoyuan doesn't like to cook, and there are only a handful of dishes he can cook, but he knows it as soon as he learns, and he doesn't look like a novice in everything, such as cooking, such as... falling in love?

Wen Ge looked at his handsome side face with his head propped up. He was talking to Xu Liqing with his head tilted. His brows and eyes were gentle and friendly, and there was a faint smile on his lips. Even getting along with elders was casual and natural.

If it wasn't for Wen Shaoyuan being her uncle, and she knew everything, she would have wondered where his experience came from right now.

She looked out of the window in a daze, the snowflakes were still floating tirelessly, not knowing where to go or getting lost.

After the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, Wen Shaoyuan went for a walk with Wen Ge as usual.

On such a special day, there are very few pedestrians on the street, and there is only a row of street lights stretching far away, forming a river of lights, shining endlessly.

Wen Ge shivered and stamped his feet, stuffed Wu Bure's hands into Wen Shaoyuan's pockets and shook hands with him.

Her cold hands made him frown, and he turned to look at her. Her nose was red from the cold, and her ears were pink and tender.Obviously the scarves, hats, and gloves are all fully equipped. She was afraid that she would be cold before going out, and even ordered her to wear two extra clothes. Now she still looks like a New Year's doll carved with jade.

"Cold?" Wen Shaoyuan stretched out his hands to touch her cheeks.

"Hands are cold, feet are cold..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but stomp her feet again.

Wen Ge has a cold physique, his hands and feet are cold in winter, like a piece of frozen jade, it is difficult to warm up.

"Then let's go back?" Wen Shaoyuan straightened her hat that was tilted to one side. Seeing her looking at him without blinking, his heart felt itchy, and he lowered his head and kissed, "Don't look at me like that."

Wen Ge immediately shifted his gaze to the temporary stage covered with snow not far away.

Because it was snowing heavily and today is such a special day, after the temporary stage was set up, the audio equipment was removed, and the stage shelf was left here.At this time, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the table, which looked like a white carpet from a distance.

Wen Ge's interest suddenly came, and he pulled him towards the stage: "Let's go there."

Wen Shaoyuan followed her gaze to the stage, raised his eyebrows slightly, and let her pull him to run over.

When he got closer, he realized that the stage was really rudimentary. It was supposed to be a big promotion for some product before, and even the banners and posters were not removed.

When he reached the steps, Wen Ge let go of him, and walked up a few steps, his feet stepped on the thick snow, the creaking sound was very clear in the quiet night.

Wen Ge walked around the stage, and when he turned his head to find Wen Shaoyuan, he found that he was standing on the steps with his hands in his pockets looking at her, his eyes were as soft as the sunshine in spring.

Seeing her turn her head to look over, Wen Shaoyuan paused, then stepped forward and walked to her side: "We'll go back after playing for a while."

The snow was still falling, and Wen Ge had to take an umbrella when he went out, and after standing in the snow for so long, not only his shoulders, but even his eyelashes were covered with fluffy white.

Wen Shaoyuan leaned down, and bent over to get closer: "Close your eyes."

On the contrary, Wen Ge looked at him with wide eyes, with a playful smile in his eyes: "Uncle, do you want to kiss me again?"

Wen Shaoyuan didn't answer, but just focused on the fluffy white on her eyelashes, raised his hand to brush it away, but she stopped him just as he stretched halfway.
