Affectionate trapping

Chapter 65 Her Heartache
November is approaching, the temperature is getting lower and lower, Wen Xi finally steals a few days of leisure, and is going to visit Yao Manqing at Shen's house.

As soon as he picked up the bag, he received a call from Shen Yuli: "Have you gone out?"

She put on her shoes, "Just going out."

"I came back early, to pick you up?"

Wen Xi stood up straight: "Isn't it going to be a few days before returning? Are you done with your work?"

"Well, I'll be there in 2 minutes, come out."

She was dazed by his series of words, and when she looked at it again, the phone had already hung up, and she was not given a chance to refute at all.

She locked the door and went downstairs quickly. The weather was not good today, the foggy blue sky was overcast, and the bleak cool wind howled, blowing the hair scattered behind her into a mess. She stroked it with her hands, and her hands were chilled by the blowing.

Shen Yuli got out of the car and opened the passenger door: "Come here quickly."

Wen Xi walked over in three steps and two steps, buried in the car, blocking a gust of cold wind.

She took a rubber band and coiled her hair casually, making her look much more demure.

"What time did you get back?"

"Six o'clock."

Wen Xi tilted his head: "Come from Luoming at six o'clock?"

"Ah."

It takes three hours to drive here from Luoming, and it's past nine o'clock, which means that he didn't even return home, so he came directly to find her.

Wen Xi looked at his slightly tired side face: "Why didn't you go home? I can actually go there by myself."

"It's so windy today, do you go by tram?"

Wen Xi laughed: "So what, I used to ride to work in winter."

He remained calm, as if promising: "It won't happen in the future."

Her ears moved slightly, she turned her face away and said nothing.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Did I treat you fiercely before?"

"Ah?" She touched the base of her ear: "It's okay."

"sorry."

She looked over in surprise.

"Wen Xi, I'm sorry." He didn't look at her, and his tone was very serious: "I used to be too bad, I didn't mean to be so mean to you."

She smiled: "It's okay, you also said it was in the past, and I didn't treat you well before, should I also say sorry to you?"

"...that's different." You don't like me.

And if he didn't always scare her, she wouldn't shy away from him.

She is so nice, but if he has a better attitude and treats her more gently and politely, maybe she will always smile at him and greet him happily.

He can also find reasons to pick her up and send her off as he does now, so as not to let her suffer so much and blow so much cold wind.

Wen Xi looked at his tight jawline: "What's the difference? Two people communicate with each other. Whether it's friends or others, I used to have prejudice against you, so I also made mistakes. I shouldn't judge people by their appearances, let alone follow them. Make a conclusion on you on the surface."

"We won't talk about the past in the future, can we?"

Shen Yuli didn't respond, and asked instead, "Did you hate me before?"

"No." She didn't understand why he suddenly got entangled with this question today, but seeing his serious expression, she felt quite uncomfortable.

"Actually, it's more about fear."

"Why are you afraid of me? I have never killed you or beaten you."

"Just...something." Wen Xi cleared his throat, "The first time I saw you, you were fighting, your hands were covered in blood, and you looked very fierce. I was scared to death at that time, and I was afraid that you would rush over and kill me. Beat me up and say something threatening to me."

"Afterwards, every time I see you, you always look like you don't like to smile and look fierce. Your eyes are a little scary when you look down at people."

Shen Yuli said silently, "Zitai was born to me, but I haven't seen him since my grandma passed away. That was the first time I met him. At that time, he was chased by four or five people and ran away from me in embarrassment. In the past, he bumped into me, said sorry in a panic, and ran away before he could look at me."

Wen Xi knew that he was explaining to himself, so he listened attentively.

"I walked in the direction he was running, and then I saw him being surrounded and beaten in an alley. Although it was not purely beating, he couldn't stand four or five people."

"I was in a particularly bad mood that day, so I rushed forward." He smiled: "Actually, I was quite impulsive. At that time, I was young, sixteen or seventeen years old, my blood was hot, and I only knew how to vent."

"I didn't expect to scare you. If I knew that I would meet you later, I would definitely not have done that that day."

Wen Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at him motionlessly.

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

Shen Yuli didn't expect her to ask this question, and after a long silence, he slowly said: "I lived with my grandparents when I was young, but my grandpa passed away when I was in primary school, so it was my grandma who took me, so I only get close to her, to my parents ...more of a stranger."

Wen Xi nodded, this is normal, whoever brings her can kiss whoever brings her.

"Later they wanted to take me back, but I didn't want to. I knew my grandma was dying, so I didn't want to be with her in her last days, but I couldn't be by her side. I didn't want her to go alone."

She opened her lips: "You are right."

He was taken aback for a moment, turned his head to look at her fixedly, and forgot to continue driving even when the light turned green.

Wen Xi smiled and pointed to the front: "It's time to go."

The sound of the car behind him sounded, he suddenly regained his senses, and continued to drive forward, but the speed of the car was extremely slow, the yellow leaves fluttered in front of the car, and then wiped the glass and drifted away.

His voice was deep and hoarse: "You are the first to say that I am right."

"Have you shared these thoughts with your uncle and aunt?"

"...No, I only told you."

"If they know what you think, they will understand you."

He slowly groaned, but he didn't care.

He doesn't need their understanding.

Continued: "I have a wild personality and don't follow the rules. I don't know any rules in the city. I don't know that the elders should move the chopsticks first when the food is served. I don't know how to use a fork. I don't know how to cut steaks. I always forget to go home. You have to change your shoes when you enter the door."

Wen Xi's heart ached when he heard that, "Shen Yuli."

He is so well-behaved now, his actions and behaviors are dignified and polite, and he is considerate and just right. He can't see any "wild" appearance at all. On the contrary, most of the time, he shows dignity and cultivation.

Could it be that in the past countless days and nights, he has been working hard to learn how to integrate into this environment, not to be looked down upon by others, not to be called a wild child by others.

She remembered that in Shen's house before, she always heard Yao Manqing use "wild" to describe Shen Yuli, so she just thought that he was indeed wild and bad.

Of course he didn't understand, and no one taught him.

Shen Yuli turned around abruptly, and saw that her eyes were filled with mist, she was slightly flushed, and she was suffocating, so she quickly found a roadside and stopped the car.

His throat was slightly choked, and he was almost at a loss: "You...don't cry, I didn't tell you this to make you cry."

"I know." She just faced him, her empathy ability reached its peak, her heart was filled with unspeakable soreness and complexity, and she felt his helplessness and irritability by putting herself in his shoes.

Shen Yuli looked deeply into her watery eyes. The thin water mist was like gauze, and her pupils were clear and bright. Inside was his tiny reflection.

His heart was like rushing up a wild horse, his rationality pulled the rein to prevent him from letting him go, but the impulse rushed to his head.

He unbuckled his seat belt, put his hand on her face, and leaned over her.

Wen Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide.
