Crossing the line

Chapter 127 Squirrels Steal Nuts

He didn't know how to explain this emotion. He obviously loved her very much, but he had to suppress his possessiveness.

He is twenty-eight, not eighteen, so it is impossible for him to express his possessiveness completely.

He didn't want to restrict her freedom because she was an adult and had her own ideas and plans.

His thoughts should not become shackles that restrict her freedom.

But he also hoped that she could understand and be willing to love him alone without any reason forcing from him.

Wen Yangzhi had a blank expression on his face: "Are you unhappy about talking about one more person?"

She sat on the carpet, hugged her chest and looked up at him, deliberately saying nonchalantly: "Yes, I am happy. I talk to them every day, I eat with them, accept their roses, and go shopping with them. I am not like you. When I go to the supermarket with you, you have to clear the place."

Instead of getting her affirmation, he got her angry words. Wen Yangzhi just said calmly: "Isn't it happy to think so?"

But she suddenly lost her nonchalant air and whispered, "Do you really think I'll be happy?"

Her eyes were not completely innocent, but rather a little resentful: "You are the one I love most in the whole world, and you are the only one I love."

Wen Yangzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her, and neither of them spoke.

His flickering vision was like a reed marsh. She fiddled with the reeds that were taller than her and couldn't see what was underneath.

But he was still calm and composed, while she was so aroused that she was covered with reed fluff.

The two people's eyes met, as if in a tug of war, and their breathing was lengthened and shortened.

Finally, it was Wen Yangzhi who spoke up: "Come up."

Yun Yuwan climbed onto the sofa and on top of him, but didn't speak to him and turned her face away, ignoring him.

A big hand suddenly held her face, trying to turn her over, but Yun Yuwan kept turning her face away.

Wen Yangzhi murmured, "Don't want to pay attention to me?"

Yun Yuwan turned her face away, like a pouting oil bottle.

Someone knocked on the door just then: "Mr. Xiao Wen, the gentleman said he wants to talk to Miss Yun about something."

Wen Yangzhi responded: "I understand."

She climbed off his lap with a grunt, stood up and walked towards the door.

Although she ignored him, Wen Yangzhi stood up and followed her.

During this period of time, he would at least not let her meet Wen Wei and Zhao Qin alone.

Wen Wei was waiting in the main hall.

Seeing Yun Yuwan and Wen Yang coming down one after another, he didn't notice anything wrong with them.

Yun Yuwan walked up to Wen Wei and said, "Uncle."

Hearing that it wasn't his father, Wen Wei was a little disappointed, but things had to be done slowly. He was kind and amiable, and when he smiled kindly, the wrinkles at the end of his eyes were longer than the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: "Sit down."

Wen Wei specifically said, "Your aunt has been home less recently. I told Uncle Deng to ask you if there is anything. You can make the decision on all matters big and small at home."

"Me?" Yun Yuwan was quite surprised.

Wen Yangzhi sat nearby, and although he didn't say anything, Wen Wei clearly felt that the atmosphere around him was different, as if the coldness that was originally covered with a thin layer of snow had suddenly let down its guard.

Having the whole family listen to Yun Yuwan means that she will not be excluded by her family because of the recent incident.

In the past, the family basically only listened to Zhao Qin. When Yun Yuwan first came, everyone looked at Zhao Qin's face and acted accordingly. They were very mean to Yun Yuwan. Although they didn't show it openly, Yun Yuwan did have a hard time.

After Wen Yangzhi found out, Yun Yuwan's life became a little better.

Now that Wen Wei has expressed his stance, at least Yun Yuwan won’t be bullied.

Zhao Qin just returned home and heard Yun Yuwan say, "Thank you, uncle."

I also heard Wen Yangzhi's calm voice: "Thank you."

Wen Wei was moved: "We are a family, let's not talk about this."

Zhao Qin heard Wen Yangzhi's reply: "Yes."

He hummed, and Wen Wei couldn't help but feel shaken inside. The clear boundary between him and Wen Yangzhi seemed to be softened.

He once thought that they would never be able to be ordinary father and son again in this life.

Now he knew that if Yun Yuwan respected him, Wen Yangzhi would follow suit.

Wen Yangzhi also cares about someone. Being nice to Yun Yuwan is, to a certain extent, a way of showing kindness to Wen Yangzhi.

After hearing Wen Yangzhi say thank you and agree with the family's opinion, Zhao Qin paused for a moment on her way to the main hall.

It has been a long time since we have had this kind of atmosphere, and my son has never communicated with them in such an open manner.

Now we can actually get along like this.

Just like a normal family.

Out of reach.

Although Zhao Qin came in with a cold face, Wen Wei saw her carrying a paper bag: "Going shopping?"

Zhao Qin hummed lightly.

Wen Wei followed her upstairs, not wanting her to be unhappy about this at her age: "Let me tell you."

But all she could think about was what had just happened.

I was still a little distracted when it came time to eat.

Yun Yuwan still didn't talk to Wen Yangzhi, and Wen Yangzhi let her do as she pleased, and neither of them spoke.

At the dinner table, the tuna was a little far away from Yun Yuwan. She wanted to eat the belly of the tuna but couldn’t reach it.

She whispered to the maid: "Auntie, can you help me get a pair of serving chopsticks?"

It was a bit far away for her to reach the food, so the serving chopsticks were relatively long.

The servant just handed the boiled water to Wen Yangzhi, and Wen Yangzhi casually placed the bowl on his right hand, close to Yun Yuwan.

He reached for the glass.

Yun Yuwan saw him put the bowl over from the corner of her eye, and suddenly the corners of her lips curled up in satisfaction.

She knew it. He pretended so well, wasn't he afraid that she would ignore him and give in immediately?

Her eyes fell on the tuna in Wen Yangzhi's bowl.

It was just a piece of tuna, and she didn't really want to eat it.

But since he wanted to please her so much, he even wanted to give her everything he put in the bowl to make her happy.

And he didn't avoid it at all in front of his parents.

If she didn't take it away reluctantly, he would be so embarrassed.

After all, the posture has been so low.

Yun Yuwan calmly took the piece of tuna from his bowl.

Since he was pretending to be nonchalant and put the bowl over to ask for peace, and since he was so tough on the outside but soft on the inside and had let go of his attitude, it would be better for her to take over the conversation.

Wen Wei and Zhao Qin just happened to look over and saw Yun Yuwan taking food from Wen Yangzhi's bowl while he was getting water.

Zhao Qin, who had thought Yun Yuwan knew a little bit about etiquette some time ago, said: "?"

Wen Wei, who thought Yun Yuwan was obedient and reserved, said: "......?"

It was rare for Wen Wei and Zhao Qin to have the same idea at the same time.

Are they this good now?
Yun Yuwan dared to take food from Wen Yangzhi's bowl.

Wen Yangzhi looked back following the two people's gaze, only to find that Yun Yuwan had directly taken the tuna from his bowl.

And he had already taken a bite of it.

Did she really want to make him uncomfortable?

Yun Yuwan was secretly pleased with herself and gently nudged him with her elbow to show that she barely accepted his kindness.

Wen Yangzhi frowned slightly.
He even bumped into him on purpose to vent his anger.

But Wen Yangzhi frowned and gave her all the food in the bowl. Yun Yuwan snorted secretly, like a proud squirrel who had just stolen two nuts from a human's pocket and swaggered to put the nuts in his cheeks.

As expected, he wanted to make peace. He also knew that it was wrong to be jealous. It was the stinky Wen Yangzhi who made her angry. She was so angry that she got a wrinkle on her face today. Even though she said she loved him the most, he didn't believe her.

She pursed her lips slightly in a snicker, her cheeks puffed up as if she was showing off her nuts.

Wen Yangzhi seemed so stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, but in the blink of an eye he couldn't help but give in to her.

Men are just hypocritical. He obviously loves her and cannot live without her, but he starts sticking to her after only half an hour of cold war.

Wen Wei saw that Zhao Qin looked unhappy, and immediately said, "Xiao Wang, please help bring the plate of tuna to Yu Wan."

Mother Wang also wanted to wipe the sweat off her face, so she quickly changed the position of the dishes.

But when it was put over, Yun Yuwan refused to eat it. As soon as Wen Yangzhi put a piece into her bowl, Yun Yuwan immediately took it away.

Wen Wei and Zhao Qin: "..."

Yun Yuwan was very proud of himself.

I knew that Wen Yangzhi was picking it for her.

Although the effect was reduced when the same trick was used twice, since he did it, she would still follow up.

Wen Yangzhi: “…”

It’s just a child’s trick. Yun Yuwan thinks that disturbing him while he’s eating can make him uncomfortable?

Wen Wei didn't expect that Yun Yuwan and Wen Yangzhi's relationship had reached this extent.

Wen Yangzhi was a man who attached great importance to rules. Yun Yuwan took food from his bowl but he didn't say a word.

Zhao Qin should have been furious after seeing this, but she didn't know what she was thinking. When she saw Yun Yuwan taking food from Wen Yangzhi's bowl, she was stunned for just a moment and started to lose focus.

Hong Kong students have such a good relationship with her.

From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Qin had never seen Wen Yangzhi be so indulgent to anyone.

Wen Yangzhi has been very disciplined since he was a child.

Yun Yuwan is an exception.

Yun Yuwan had a very satisfying meal, while Zhao Qin and Wen Wei left the table each with their own concerns.

When Wen Yangzhi put down his chopsticks and left the table, Yun Yuwan also stood up. She bumped into Wen Yangzhi's arm, then raised her chin proudly and ran away.

When he returned to the room, he found Yun Yuwan had messed up his things.

Wen Yangzhi said nothing, but cleaned up quietly in the back, putting the watches back one by one and tidying up the drawers, arranging them back to their previous state.

Yun Yuwan turned him over and swayed at the same time.

Wen Yangzhi finally spoke: "What do you want to do?"

She sat down on the bed and said, "Let me see if there are any women's things. Why are you only talking about me? You must have received many gifts from the opposite sex. I want to find them and ask you to pay for them one by one."

He said calmly, "No women's stuff."

Yun Yuwan pulled out a book that was at the bottom of the drawer and said, "Don't tell me the name on it is yours."

The name Wan Hui is written on the cover of the book, and it is obvious that it was published many years ago.

Wen Yangzhi even forgot that there was such a book: "Where did you find it?"

"You hid it so deep in your drawer. Do you often miss someone when you see it?" Yun Yuwan asked.

Wen Yangzhi hadn't lived in this room for ten years before this. Yun Yuwan actually knew it, but she just felt unhappy about it.

He recalled for a moment before saying, "I borrowed a reference book from her ten years ago, but forgot to return it. I threw it away."

She said confidently: "I won't throw it away. This is evidence in court."

He took it from her, and after a moment he said calmly: "You made such a mess in the room, but you actually knew that the book was here a long time ago."

Yun Yuwan felt wronged and retorted, "Who knew your book was here? This is the first time I've seen it."

He directly took her hand and compared it with the small painted palm print on the cover of the book. The size was basically the same, and even the fingerprints were the same: "You haven't read it, how can there be your fingerprints?"

Yun Yuwan took a look and found that the paint was printed clearly and every fingerprint matched.

She was stunned.

But she clearly hadn't touched it, so she swore: "It's clearly the handprint of that senior from Parsons, and you still framed me."

Wen Yangzhi said coldly: "You are the only one around me who has such small hands."

The wrist is thin, like the hand of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.

Even the fingerprints matched.

But Yun Yuwan was reading this book for the first time.

How did she know why the fingerprints matched?

She had just moved into this room recently, and she said aggrievedly, "You are wronging me. It's clearly the handprint of your old lover, and even the handprint is the same as mine. Did you find mine based on her appearance? Or do you just like people with small hands?"

The veins on Wen Yangzhi's temples tightened, and his voice was cold: "Stop making trouble, it's only you from beginning to end."

She turned her face away: "I don't believe it."

Ten years ago.

Wen Yangzhi borrowed a book from his senior schoolmate and was about to turn around and leave when he heard the girl's gentle and warm voice calling him.

"Wen Yangzhi."

He stopped, the evening breeze blew the hem of his white T-shirt, and his eyes fell calmly on the girl's face which was illuminated by the setting sun, but his eyes were still indifferent.

The horizon is far away, and so is he.

The girl's voice was gentle: "See you at Parsons, if possible."

He did not answer, but just looked at her for a moment in the evening breeze, then turned and walked away.

A junior high school girl with a pink backpack was running hurriedly and bumped into Wen Yangzhi.

The book in Wen Yangzhi's hand fell to the ground. The round-faced girl quickly picked it up and handed it to him: "Brother, this is for you."

The timid big eyes were in a hurry and they had to look up hard to see Wen Yangzhi who was as tall as a mountain.

However, the paint on her hands stained his book, leaving a palm print.

Wen Yangzhi's gaze fell on the palm print without any depth or shallowness.

There was no answer for a while.

His books usually don't even have a trace of a fold.

She obviously noticed it, and hurriedly handed the book to him, then took her hand back and said, "I'm sorry, I made your book dirty."

The girl was obviously very anxious: "But I'm going to be late for the cram school. Which school and class are you in? Where can I buy this? Can I buy one for you after class?"

This little dirty kid.

Wen Yangzhi held a corner of the book and said indifferently, "No need."

The girl felt a little guilty.

But Wen Yangzhi was too lazy to bother with the kid: "Go to class, this book is not important."

Hearing this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and ran away happily again.

She ran like a Donald Duck, with her hands and feet turned outward, her feet in white Converse sneakers like duck webs, as she ran along the Suzhou River.

At this moment, Wen Yangzhi knew very well that she was looking for trouble and deliberately made this incident. She even made a palm print herself to vent her anger on him. She was completely childish: "This fingerprint is not yours?"

She thought he was being unreasonable. There were so many people with small hands in the world, how could it be hers? "Even if it's mine, it's the first time I found it. I didn't take advantage of the situation, nor did I deliberately put my handprint there to pick a fight with you. It's obviously you who secretly kept Senior Parsons's old book."

Wen Yangzhi said coldly: "I don't like her. How many times do I have to say it?"

Yun Yuwan couldn't help but climb onto the table, stood on it and raised her voice: "Then do you like me?"

He had a cold face, and she thought he would not answer, but the next second, he said coldly:

"Was there ever a moment when I didn't like you?"
