gentle fall

Chapter 116

Two beams of car lights pierced the thick night, Wen Huaiyu parked the car, unexpectedly the lights in the living room were still on.

When she walked in, Wen Yan was playing chess under the lamp. He raised his head when he heard the voice, and smiled at her: "Nan Nan is back."

Wen Huaiyu hummed, and sat down beside him: "Why is grandpa staying up so late?"

"I'm all asleep, no one left a light for you, and your wife is not here."

Wen Huaiyu smiled: "I've grown up, it's fine if no one leaves the light on, so go to bed early in the future."

"I can't sleep either. I can't wake up for the first 30 years, and I can't sleep for the next 30 years. Come and play a game of chess with me."

"Okay."

Wen Huaiyu sat on the opposite side, and the speed of the chess pieces was not rushed. There was a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, and he still didn't have the slightest sense of respecting the old. He ruthlessly killed the chess pieces on the opposite side.

Wen Yan shook his head: "When you taught Xiao Ji to play chess that day, the style of chess became much milder. Why do you have to kill you when you play chess with grandpa?"

"Grandpa, how old are you, why are you still comparing yourself to Rou Rou? You are not a young and beautiful girl."

Wen Yan laughed loudly: "You girl, you really have no conscience when you talk."

"Did I said wrong thing?"

"That's right."

"Then I won't talk, I haven't called her yet."

"When you have a daughter-in-law, you forget about grandpa's girl. No wonder I saw my old friends that day. They all joked that your reputation of fear of guilt has already spread."

The corner of Wen Huaiyu's mouth twitched, but he didn't forcefully pretend in front of his grandfather: "It's not that she doesn't want me again."

Wen Yan's smile also faded a little. During those six months, she often didn't go home. Most of the time she spent the night at the company, cleaning up the inside and outside of the group. Others thought that she made up her mind because she suffered an unreasonable disaster. Reform, only he knows it is not, this child just wants to give himself something to do, so as to fill his empty heart.

"You just think too much, Nannan, I always told you before, but you don't believe me, you think that your marriage with Xiaoji is just a marriage between two families, so when you encounter things, you are rational and decisive, but people's hearts are not cold contracts And the law. Do you think Grandpa couldn't tell at that time, you obviously like her, and Lao Ji and I will let you get married."

Wen Huaiyu was startled: "Grandpa..."

Wen Yan touched the top of her hair: "You are an awkward child when it comes to feelings. Of course, it's not entirely your fault. Don't do this again in the future."

Wen Huaiyu hummed: "It's been a year, and this is the first time you've said these things to me."

Wen Yan slowly put the chess pieces back into the chess box: "Life is like chess, you have no regrets when you make a chess piece. Every time you take a step, you will lose your chess piece. We can only watch and cannot go for you. Go, grandpa, sit down for a while." , go call."

Wen Huaiyu hummed, took a step forward, then turned around and said, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

"Thanks for what?"

"Thank you for letting us get married."

This made her hold her hand when she still couldn't see her heart clearly.

Probably because of the mention of Ji Yirou, Wen Huaiyu felt that she missed her even more, entered the room, lay down on the bed, made a call, but no one answered, she checked the time, it was quite late, Ji Yirou She probably fell asleep, she put down her phone, took a shower, waited on the bed for a while, and fell asleep.

She dreamed about when she was 14 years old.

At that time, she had been back to Wen's house for several years, and she had never seen her adoptive parents, nor even called her, but there was always a book under her bed, and when she left, her adoptive father chased after her. The car ran all the way and forced it to her.

It was a fairy tale book, one she liked when she was a child. There was a series of numbers written on the title page of the book, and beside it was written: Remember to call home.

This string of numbers has long been familiar by heart, but she just doesn't type, sometimes she has to look at it a few times before going to bed, and then close the book, she whispers to herself: "I don't miss you."

At such a young age, he was so stubborn.

If they don't want her, then she won't look back.

She is bright and proud, she is the focus of the crowd wherever she goes, she is flattered early by her peers, she is so young, but smart enough, she has already sensed the warmth and coldness of people's hearts, she dismisses it, and has never had a true friend.

Occasionally, she would think of the little girl she saved before, with clean eyes and fair cheeks like a bulging little bun. She called her a little fool, poked her in the face, and talked to her unreasonably, and the little girl didn't get angry , when he walked away, his eyes were still red like a little rabbit, and he would look back every few steps.

That made her feel the long-lost feeling of being cared for.

So she chased after a few steps and said loudly: "When you grow up, I will go find you."

The car drove away with a bang, and she suddenly clapped her hands angrily, "Oh, it's broken, I forgot to ask her name."

Later, during the summer vacation, she went to Australia to participate in a summer camp, and her grandfather accompanied her there, and met the little aunt whom she rarely saw.

The little aunt was gentle and said little, but she was very happy to see her. She wanted to buy her a beautiful dress and take her to the beach, but she coldly rejected them.

She was not used to being treated so tenderly. Zhou Lin had never taken her out for shopping at home, so she longed faintly, but resisted pretendingly indifferently.

She stayed at her little aunt's house for a few days, and heard her grandfather quarreling with her from time to time, probably asking her how long she would exile herself for one person.

At that time, she still didn't understand the meaning of exile, but when she heard her little aunt weeping in the middle of the night and calling a person's name, it was a strange emotion to her, but when she heard it, she suddenly felt sad, but she seemed, and can't do anything about it.

Later, when she returned to China, she couldn't help asking her little aunt when she left, "Why don't you go back?"

At that time, the little aunt touched her forehead: "You will know when you grow up."

The girl was very dissatisfied, and took a step back. She didn't like others treating her like a child, and she was obviously an adult.

But after returning to China, she was knocked down by reality.

As soon as she got off the plane, she received a call from her grandpa, and ran to the hospital as if she lost her mind, but she went late and only got a cold hand.

She couldn't believe it, she rushed out like crazy, walked on the road, her eyes were unfocused, and just walked into the traffic, it seemed that someone was yelling beside her ear, but she couldn't hear anything, and then she heard There was a loud screeching of brakes.

At that moment, she even thought with relief that she will see her father and mother soon, and she will never leave them again, never leave again.

Later, consciousness fell into chaos.

The dream also ends here.

This dream had appeared many times when she was a teenager, haunting her and making her breathless.

But it hadn't appeared for a long time. In the middle of the night, she suddenly dreamed about juvenile affairs. She slowly sat up, turned on a bedside lamp, walked to the window and looked out with her shoes on.

The night outside the window was as thick as ink, she breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling a little lost.

Probably because I was chatting with grandpa tonight, he said that she had been awkward with relationships since she was a child, so he reminded her of the past.

However, her thoughts paused. What about the little bun? Why hasn’t she seen her since she grew up, and she hasn’t seen her again... No, she seems to have forgotten this person for a long time, as if she has never seen her before. She never thought of her again.

The window was pushed open a small gap, and the cold air smelled of snowflakes, and she scrambled to get in first. She withdrew her thoughts and smiled softly.After the car accident, the doctor said that she seemed to have forgotten something, but she kept silent about what she forgot.

Only she knows what she has forgotten, mostly things and cute people that she found interesting in the past, such as the sweetest muffins on the street corner, the orange cat at home who basks in the sun every day, and when it rains There were many more umbrellas waiting for her at the school gate, and she deliberately and selectively forgot all the good things that made her feel good.

She fell into silence for quite a long time, did not talk to others, went to class and studied as usual during the day, returned home at night, did her homework and read books until late at night, her emotions were only left for herself to digest, and she never asked for help from the outside world until she graduated from high school and she went abroad After studying abroad, it took a long time to find out that she had a little sign of depression.

Thinking of this, she smiled.

Now she is glad that she didn't leave at that time. She met a very good girl. If she knew that she would meet her in the future, she would move forward a little faster.

……

The next day.

Wen Huaiyu got up early, went downstairs and took a corn and a glass of milk: "I'm leaving."

She was going to pick up Ji Yirou, if she hadn't been too busy recently, she would definitely have followed.

It was still early when we arrived at Ji's house, Ji Yue was teasing his annoying parrot at home, Wen Huaiyu greeted him, and was about to go upstairs to find someone.

Ji Yue called her to stop: "What's the rush? Xiao Rou had a drink with me last night and she was falling asleep."

Wen Huaiyu stopped unwillingly, no wonder he didn't receive her call last night, and followed him to play with the birds: "Come on, call me sister."

The parrot hopped up and down on the bamboo pole, its groomed hair was smooth and smooth, and it was still unpleasant when it opened its mouth: "Idiot, big idiot."

Wen Huaiyu: "..."

Ji Yue laughed loudly: "Look at you, people hate dogs."

"It must be taught by you, it is disrespectful to be old."

Ji Yue patted her on the head lightly: "It's not big or small, forget it, go, go and call Xiaorou down for dinner, this time you stay at home for a few days before leaving."

Wen Huaiyu hummed, and obediently agreed, but his heart was so bad, he went up to grab his daughter-in-law into his arms and hugged her, had a meal, and then ran away with her.

Ji Yirou pampered her, and smiled helplessly: "No wonder Grandpa doesn't like you every time, you are also bad."

Wen Huaiyu smiled triumphantly: "No matter who tells him, he will always call me a fool."

The phone rang at this moment, she saw that it was Deng Ruo calling, she parked the car to the side of the road, pressed the answer button: "Ruo Ruo, it's New Year, when are you coming back?"

Deng Ruo couldn't say it back: "She just wants to be here, and I'll be here with her. Do you want to come and play?"

Wen Huaiyu felt scared when he thought of the troubles last time: "It's so far away, you will really trick me."

"Oh, this false sisterhood, are you really not coming?"

"I'll ask my wife."

"I have to ask about it, what about saving face! Mr. Wen!"

"What is face, and you can't eat it."

Wen Huaiyu looked at Ji Yirou: "Baby, do you want to play?"

Ji Yirou raised her eyebrows and joked, "Mr. Wen, how about face?"

Knowing that she agreed, Wen Huaiyu said hello to Deng Ruo, made an appointment, and happened to take his wife out for a walk.

When the phone was hung up, Ji Yirou snatched the phone over: "Does Boss Wen know that others say I'm a tigress?"

Wen Huaiyu looked solemn: "Nothing. Who? Who said it?"

"you said."

Wen Huaiyu felt guilty: "I didn't."

She said no, but thinking of the recent events, she couldn't help thinking, how did she usually reject others?

"Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen, there is a party tonight, do you want to come?"

"Sorry, my wife is waiting for me at home."

"Miss Wen, long time no see, do you have time to have a drink together?"

"Sorry no, my wife doesn't like me drinking."

"Mr. Wen, are you leaving in such a hurry? Is it still early?"

"It's getting late, I'm going to kneel on the washboard when I get back late."

She secretly thought about it, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just said with a straight face: "Wait, I'll teach these nonsense people a lesson."

Ji Yirou looked at her with a smile that wasn't a smile, as if she had seen through everything, but deliberately didn't say anything.

Wen Huaiyu blushed when she saw her, and snatched the phone. A vice president of a cooperative company just called. She turned on the speaker. After hearing the intention of the caller, she subconsciously refused: "Sorry, I can't go out for dinner tonight. If you come home late, you will be kicked out of bed."

The man smiled jokingly: "Mr. Wen, it is said that you are fearful of internal affairs, but it seems to be true. What's so good about the one at home? She has a bad temper. Let me introduce you to a new one, the girl from last time. You said it looks good..."

Wen Huaiyu was so frightened that his hands shook, he said something about a pretty girl, but he didn't know him, and then hung up the phone.

Ji Yirou spoke softly, "A pretty girl?"

"no no."

"Too bad-tempered?"

"no no."

Ji Yirou unbuckled the seat belt, leaned over, and approached her, a pair of dark eyes were clear and clear, her faint breath fell on her cheeks, her voice was as clear as broken ice touching the wall, and the ending sound rose slightly: "Fear of the inside ?”

"No, no, no... no," Wen Huaiyu paused, the corners of his lips slowly curled up, he lifted her neck, and kissed her on the face, "Yes, fear of guilt."
