night falls

Chapter 76 Hearing the sound at night 75
The car stopped smoothly in the courtyard of the villa. Jiang Gai, who was in the passenger seat, saw that there were two more Maybachs and Land Rovers in front of him, and his timidity to escape suddenly emerged again.

She tugged on her seat belt and bent her straight back, looking troubled: "Wen Shiqing, I think I'd better say goodbye first..."

Wen Shiqing raised his hand to hold her down, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I..." Jiang Gai frowned, looking at the injuries on his face, the corners of his mouth dropped, and he wailed, "I don't have the face to see your parents and your grandfather..."

Wen Shiqing smiled, unbuckled his seat belt, and comforted: "No one will care about this, don't think too much."

Jiang Jie: "Yes..."

Wen Shiqing let go of her, pushed the car door open, went around to the passenger seat and opened the door, and reached out to her: "Let's go home together."

Jiang Gai felt uneasy and didn't stretch out her hand.

Wen Shiqing chuckled, and said again: "Today I'm so timid, I'm not like you anymore, what about the usual enthusiasm? Huh? Where did it go?"

Hearing this, Jiang Gai looked at him with evasive eyes, and finally handed him her hand.The latter clenched her hands tightly, seeing her feet on the ground, exerted a little force on her arms, and lightly pulled her into his arms, while she raised her head in surprise, lowered her head and kissed her on the lips, gently and lightly.

Jiang Jie's originally entangled and restless little emotions were covered by his kiss in an instant, and she subconsciously turned her head to see if there was anyone around.

Wen Shiqing didn't change his expression, closed the door and pulled her directly into the house.

Today's Wen family is very lively. It is Wen Nian's first family dinner after confinement. Mr. Wen attaches great importance to it. Since last week, he has repeatedly emphasized that Wen Shiqing should bring Jiang Ji together.

After unlocking the door, changing their shoes and going in, the two of them happened to bump into Wen He who was about to go to the kitchen from the living room.When the latter saw them, he paused and said, "Hey, brother, you're back! Here's my sister-in-law!"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Gai, who was hiding behind Wen Shiqing, moved out silently: "Here...here..."

Wen He waved to her: "Hi!"

A little far away, Wen He noticed a black thing on Wen Shiqing's face. He frowned and took a closer look, exclaiming: "My mother, Wen Shiqing! What's wrong with your face!"

When the words fell, Jiang Jie's neck subconsciously shrank, and she felt guilty and wanted to find a hole to get in.

The entrance and the kitchen are close. Yu Cen, who was cooking inside, heard Wen He's exclamation and immediately turned off the fire and ran out: "What's wrong?"

After asking, Yu Cen also saw the injury on Wen Shiqing's face. He took a closer look and frowned nervously: "Hey, what's wrong with your face? You won't be beaten, right?"

Jiang Jie didn't dare to make a sound.

Wen Shiqing was calm: "It was a collision, it's okay."

The more Wen He looked at it, the more something was wrong: "It was a collision? I don't see it, how could it be like this?"

Wen Shiqing gave him a cold look and looked unhappy.

Wen He sneered, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He turned around and said, "I'm going to cut the fruit, cut the fruit."

Yu Cen raised his head and looked at it several times, the wound was black and purple with blood, and looked very painful.She wiped her hands with the apron, and wanted to raise her hand to touch it, but Wen Shiqing turned her face away and smiled: "Mom, it's okay, it's a small injury, and the medicine has been taken."

Jiang Jie on the side spoke up at this time, smiled dryly, and called: "Ah...Hello, Auntie..."

Only then did Yu Cen notice her, and he clapped his hands after realizing it: "Oh, Mustard Seed, you didn't make any sound, you were hiding behind him, I just looked at his wounds, and I didn't even see you!"

"Come on, come in and sit down." Yu Cen stretched out his hand to hold her and walked into the back room, "I heard from Shi Qing that you like to eat shrimps and crabs. Auntie bought a lot today. Remember to eat more later!"

Jiang Gai felt more and more guilty: "Thank you... thank you, Auntie."

"Thank you no matter what, we will be one family sooner or later!"

Jiang Jie began to be unable to bear the condemnation of her conscience. She felt that if she didn't tell the truth to Wen Shiqing, she might have her mouth pierced when she ate those shrimps and crabs later!
She stopped and looked back and forth.Wen Shiqing had just gone to find his father. Wen He was still in the kitchen and everyone else was in the living room. However, in order to take Wen Shiqing's face into account, Jiang Ai carefully pulled Yu Cen to a corner to prevent others from hearing.

Seeing her being so mysterious for a while, Yu Cen asked without knowing what was going on: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Gai pursed her lips and lowered her head, as if she was a sinner: "Auntie, I'm sorry..."

The apology came a bit suddenly, which made Yu Cen even more confused. He looked stunned and asked: "What's going on? Why are you apologizing? Did Shi Qing bully you?"

Jiang Jie laughed and cried: Auntie, I apologize to you. Shouldn't you ask if I bullied your son? ? ?
"Actually..." Jiang Ai hesitated, "Actually, Wen Shiqing's injury... was caused by my uncle..."

Hearing this, Yu Cen was slightly startled, but didn't have a big reaction: "Did your uncle beat you?"

Jiang Jie nodded and opened his mouth to say something else, but suddenly another shout came from behind him——

"What? You said that Wen Shiqing's face was beaten by your uncle?"

The high-pitched voice with a hint of laughter made Jiang Gai tremble in fright and turned to look.

Wen He was holding a fruit plate and standing behind her and Yu Cen. The way he covered his mouth and snickered was obviously gloating.

She walked over while laughing, put her arms around Jiang Jie's shoulders, and began to inquire: "Sister-in-law, how many punches did he get from your uncle?"

Jiang Jie: "..."

"Did you fight back?" Wen He said thoughtfully, "I guess he didn't dare to fight back and grabbed your uncle's baby cabbage. If he had dared to fight back, he wouldn't be standing here today, right?"

Jiang Jie: "..."

Sister, why don’t you feel sad and distressed...

……

At dinner, everyone gathered around the round table.Wen He was still immersed in the schadenfreude of Wen Shiqing being beaten. He ate and laughed while eating.

Qin Yan glanced at her inexplicably: "What are you laughing at?"

Wen He glanced at Wen Shiqing's face subconsciously again. Now he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks and laughed even louder.

Jiang Gai's head dropped so low that he almost hid under the table.

Wuwuwu Wen Shiqing, I really didn’t mean it...

Seeing that Wen He's smile was out of character, old man Wen reminded him aloud: "What are you doing, Xiaohe, eat well when you eat."

Wen Hemao suppressed a smile: "Oh."

After the meal, several juniors helped clean up the dishes. Wen He put away the chopsticks, raised his hand and patted Wen Shiqing on the shoulder, with a look of laughter on his face: "Hey, brother, let me tell you, you pushed the young Xiaobaicai, and this punch didn't hurt." No matter what, you still took advantage."

Jiang Jie: "..."

Wen Shiqing put away the bowl for a moment and looked at her with a deep look without saying a word.

Wen Nian next to him was confused: "What? What kind of punch?"

Yu Cen came out of the kitchen at this time, took the kitchen waste from Wen Nian's hand, and said in passing: "Your brother was beaten by uncle Mustard Seed, just the one on his face."

The tone and expression when he spoke were completely gone from the nervousness he felt when he saw Wen Shiqing injured at first, and there was even a hint of "he deserves it".

At this time, Wen Nian couldn't hold back. He chuckled and asked Wen Shiqing: "Brother, were you really beaten?"

Wen Shiqing: "..."

Jiang Jie: "..."

This... seemed different from what she imagined.

-

In the afternoon, the two of them stayed in the villa, occasionally teasing Wen Nian's children, occasionally chatting with Mr. Wen, and occasionally baking cookies with Wen Shiqing's mother.

After dinner, the two left.

On the way back to the apartment, Wen Shiqing received a WeChat message. Taking advantage of the traffic lights, he glanced at the lit phone screen. After seeing the words "Fang Yu" at the top, his gaze paused, and he reached out to open it——

[Fang Yu: Come here. ]
[W: Where? ]

[Fang Yu: My family]

[W: Got it. ]
Putting the phone back, the green light just turned on. Seeing that he seemed to be replying to a message, Jiang Ai asked casually: "What's wrong? Is something okay?"

Wen Shiqing was silent for a moment and lied: "Well, I have something to do at the hospital, so I have to go there."

Jiang Jie: "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Wen Shiqing's expression remained unchanged: "I'm afraid I'll be too busy, so I'll take you back to school now."

"Oh." Jiang Gai didn't have any doubts. He turned and looked at the street outside, "Then you don't have to send me away. Just leave me here. I can walk back by myself. It's not far."

Wen Shiqing turned to the right and smiled: "It doesn't matter, the hospital is not in a hurry right now."

Jiang Gai thought for a moment: "Then let me go to the student street, and I'll bring Shen Beihan a cup of milk tea."

Wen Shiqing: "Okay."

……

After delivering Jiang Jie, Wen Shiqing turned around and drove towards Fang Yu's apartment.

When they were approaching the community, Fang Yu sent another WeChat message. Wen Shiqing slowed down the car and touched it to take a look——

[Fang Yu: Passing by a small store, I brought two bottles of Dream Blue, the highest grade one. ]
Wen Shiqing: "..."

Although he expected a fierce battle tonight, Wen Shiqing still carried the two bottles of expensive wine and went to fight bravely.

The doorbell rang twice, and it was Shen Zizi who opened the door. She glanced at him and looked like she knew he was coming.

Wen Shiqing changed her shoes and came in, handing her the wine.

Shen Zizi looked confused: "What?"

Wen Shiqing: "Fang Yu wants you."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yu came out of the back room when he heard the movement, wearing a casual sweater and sports shorts, he walked over with his head raised, and said in a very arrogant tone, "Then I want it, come in and sit."

Shen Zizi was too lazy to care about them and sat on the sofa watching TV.

Wen Shiqing followed him straight to the restaurant.

There were several dishes of side dishes and two empty wine glasses on the dining table. In addition to the two bottles of white wine he brought, Fang Yu also prepared a box of Tsingtao beer. Looking at this posture, he was afraid that there would be a bloody battle.

Fang Yu pulled up a chair and sat down, and Wen Shiqing followed suit.

The two looked at each other face to face for a moment, and Fang Yu suddenly sneered: "I see you are very familiar with the road. How many times have you been here when I'm not around?"

Wen Shiqing: "..."

Fang Yu glanced at the wound at the corner of his mouth, but didn't ask any further questions. He opened a bottle of Dream Blue, filled the glass with wine, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked him: "Can you drink it?"

The light tone was not a normal inquiry, but a bit of purposeful provocation.

Wen Shiqing had expected this and nodded.

Seeing this, Fang Yu pushed his own cup in front of him, with ill intentions: "Then you've finished these two cups, do you have any objection?"

Wen Shiqing glanced at him, then at the wine glass, and finally raised the glass and drank it all without blinking.

Fang Yu smiled, his eyes were full of indifference: "If you want to be my nephew and son-in-law, you will have a thousand cups."

Wen Shiqing: "..."

Shen Zizi in the living room couldn't stand it anymore, and cursed: "...I just met you."

"Shut up!" Fang Yu scolded, "Men are talking, ladies, don't interrupt!"

Shen Zizi: "???"

Is this fucking itchy lately? ? ?
……

Then, the two of them drank in silence, drinking one third of a bottle of wine, as if they were having a drinking contest.

Drinking too quickly, both of them blushed a little at the moment.Fang Yu slapped the table, took a breath, and asked, "Have you slept yet?"

Wen Shiqing looked directly at him and said without hesitation, "No."

Fang Yu finally got to the point now: "I said she is only 21 years old, how did you manage to pick her up?"

Wen Shiqing was silent for a moment, and just when he was about to speak, Shen Zizi interrupted, unceremoniously revealing: "According to the person involved, Jiang Gai herself revealed that it was she who took the initiative to pursue Wen Shiqing!"

"..." Fang Yu was speechless for a moment, but he still had to maintain his momentum. He poked at the table and raised his voice, "I know! What I mean is, she is only 21 years old, how can you let her chase you!"

Shen Zizi: "..."

Wen Shiqing: "..."

"It's really about day and night defense. It's hard for brothers to defend themselves against each other." Fang Yu laughed self-deprecatingly and asked him again, "What do you like about us, Jiang Jie?"

Wen Shiqing lowered his eyes and said bluntly, "I like everything."

Fang Yu squeaked, obviously not accepting this trick: "Don't do all these bells and whistles with me. If Jie Zi didn't like you, I would really want to chop you into pieces."

"Also, she said it was hard for her to catch you. How long have you let her chase you?" Fang Yu became angry again when he thought of this, "I even went to work as a social worker because of you! I borrowed my kitchen to cook for you all day long." Rice, give me leftovers, and you still hang her! Are you fucking human!"

Wen Shiqing looked calm and responded quickly: "No."

"..."

Fang Yu choked, thinking that if Wen Shiqing defended himself a few words, he could still find trouble to show off his power, but he admitted it so quickly, which was a bit out of line with the plot...

Wen Shiqing raised the cup, raised his head and took another sip of white wine, his voice was very slow and deep: "If I had known that I would love her so much, on the day she stopped me from confessing, I would have accepted her without hesitation. Date her, marry her, and grow old with her."

"But in the final analysis, I am still too cowardly. She is so young and I dare not touch her. I am just afraid of causing trouble for myself. I would rather be cruel and keep her away from me."

Thinking that someone actually wanted to reject his niece, Fang Yu got angry for no reason and yelled at him: "Then why the hell did you accept her later!"

Wen Shiqing smiled, with a bit of helplessness and pity in his eyes: "She is so passionate, brave, kind and beautiful, what man can refuse her?"

Hearing this, Fang Yu snorted proudly: "That's about the same. The cabbage I raised myself is naturally [-] times better than the wild flowers outside!"

……

In the end, the two of them drank two bottles of Dream Blue. Fang Yu was so drunk that he was speechless. He hugged Shen Zizi and babbled to Wen Shiqing: "Wen... Shi... kiss! Again, let's go again I...I'll give you a...punch!"

Shen Zizi: "..."

Wen Shiqing was lying on the dining table, his head too dizzy to lift up, let alone speak.

Shen Zizi saw that this was not the solution, she couldn't take care of the two drunks by herself, so she finally called Jiang Jie.

……

When Jiang Gai arrived, Wen Shiqing had already been helped by Shen Zizi to lie down on the sofa.The tall and long-legged people were crowded on the sofa. Qingjun's face was very red from the alcohol. The strong smell of alcohol permeated the whole room, making him almost suffocated by the smoked ginger.

She pinched her nose and patted Wen Shiqing's face. It was incredible: "How much did you drink?"

After Shen Zizi settled down, Fang Yu came out of the bedroom and answered her: "Two bottles, Dream Blue."

Jiang Jie laughed angrily: "These two fucking drink too much and want to write poetry? Li Bai, the wine fairy???"

Shen Zizi sighed: "But, judging from the conversation at night, your uncle should not be angry anymore."

Jiang Gai's eyes were filled with joy: "Really?"

Shen Zizi nodded: "But you'd better come and coax your uncle, his stubborn tongue is very annoying."

Jiang Ai understood: "I understand, I understand."
