Crossing the line

Chapter 40: Little Jealous Girl

How happy she was that the man she had been waiting for half a year now had a girlfriend.

Maybe he still had someone else's scent on him, or hugged or held hands, or kissed, and put her second in meeting her.

Maybe the other person acted coquettishly and asked him to spend more time with her, so he stayed longer.

They made her wait an extra hour without taking her emotions into consideration.

However, Yun Yuwan only wanted to cry for a moment, but she forced herself to hold it back.

Wen Yangzhi stood up and walked to her side, also looking up at the falling snow outside the window, his figure like a tall pine tree.

She finally mustered up the courage to ask the question, cautiously asking for the answer that might break her heart.

"What were you doing just now? It took you so long to get here." The word lingered in her mind several times before she finally said it out loud, "Does your girlfriend live far away?"

She used a little anger to cover up her jealousy and sadness.

Wen Yangzhi was slightly surprised: "Girlfriend?"

The snow outside the window is flying like mud.

The light in the window was always on, and the warm yellow light fell on people, making them feel warm. She pretended to be angry because he was late:
"Yeah, you made me wait for you for so long, couldn't you send that sister back earlier? You don't keep your promise at all."

Wen Yangzhi remained calm and asked her:
"Where is the sister?"

She was really sulking: "Your girlfriend."

Wen Yangzhi remained calm, looking at her with his clear and dark eyes: "Brother doesn't have a girlfriend."

With just one sentence from him, the feeling of her tear glands being squeezed suddenly disappeared, and she even almost let out a smile at the corner of her lips.

But she was afraid that he would sense her little thoughts, so she continued to ask with a stern face:
"Why are you late if you don't have a girlfriend?"

Wen Yangzhi did not answer immediately, but asked in a good-tempered manner:
"Where did you hear that I have a girlfriend?"

"Auntie and uncle said you sent your girlfriend home." Yun Yuwan was not discouraged and answered confidently.

Wen Yangzhi finally understood how she had misunderstood. He chuckled, "It was the girlfriend of the brother from the Jiang family. He had a fight with his girlfriend, so I sent them back separately."

She paused, and although she wanted to laugh, she pretended to be fierce and complained:

"Why is that brother from the Jiang family like this? It took me so long to see you. I've been waiting for you for more than an hour."

But she used her complaints to say what she dared not say in her heart.

His voice was even gentler, almost like the gurgling of spring water: "Brother is wrong. I will not come to see you late because of others in the future."

His eyes were like a gentle sea of ​​forests, and she almost drowned in them.

It turned out that it was because he acted as a peacemaker.

But she couldn't help but confirm this matter more deeply and more deeply to ensure his emotional status:
"You said you don't have a girlfriend, so where's the ring on your hand?"

He wore a silver ring on his ring finger.

Wen Yangzhi bent down slightly and looked directly at her: "Too many people want to meet you, and I don't want to be disturbed."

"A lot of people are chasing you?"

Her tone was still questioning, she didn't even realize how possessive she was of him, and what identity she had in which she asked him.

He was questioned in such a strong tone, but he didn't get angry. He just said gently as always: "Not much, it's just that my brother doesn't want to fall in love for the time being."

She finally couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and Wen Yangzhi also raised the corners of his lips slightly:

"Little jealous girl."

Perhaps he just meant that she and her brother's friends had to compete for time.

But at that moment, she felt that her brother and she liked each other.

Yun Yuwan had an inexplicable possessive desire in her heart, but she could only use the name of brother and sister:
"I thought you were late because of your girlfriend. I'm your sister. How can anyone be closer to you than me?"

Wen Yangzhi naturally placed his hand on her head: "You and I are closest."

Maybe he just thinks that children should be the best to others.

But she was seduced by such words of favoritism and privilege, and could not help but feel happy.

Wen Yangzhi reminded her softly, "Didn't you say you wanted to make a wish? Where's your wish?"

She pretended to have forgotten, her hair completely smoothed down: "I almost forgot, I wanted to make a wish."

Wen Yangzhi was not angry, he just smiled and looked at her.

Yun Yuwan faced the window, clasped her hands and closed her eyes.

In front of her worries, she silently made a wish related to her worries.

I hope to be with Brother Gangsheng forever and never be separated.

She loves brother Hongsheng very much, and hopes that he likes her a little bit, even if it's just a little bit.

Yun Yuwan opened her eyes and subconsciously looked at him, wanting to see him more every moment.

Wen Yangzhi was putting his hands in his pockets, looking at the sudden heavy snow outside the window, looking very elegant.

When sitting, he would often unconsciously touch his forehead or cheekbones, and when standing, he would naturally put his hands in his pockets, but he seemed to be one with it, as if he was naturally relaxed and at ease.

The arms are long and the wrist circumference is just right. It is not feminine or masculine, but slender and elegant with distinct joints, prominent veins, and a cool and white look.

When he holds his forehead or puts his hands in his pockets, his arms form a natural arc, making him look nonchalant, lazy and calm.

If you have short arms, it is easy to stretch them into a straight line, which makes you look pretentious.

So much so that when she saw this kind of demeanor in Wen Yangzhi, whenever she saw others doing similar things later, she would think that they were imitating Wen Yangzhi.

But no one can make it as beautiful as Wen Yangzhi.

Because I love him, the whole world belongs to him, but no one can replace him.

My brother is different from other men.

She looked at him with joy, her love almost leaking out from her expression. Anyone could see that she liked the man in front of her, but as long as Wen Yangzhi looked over, she would immediately retract her gaze that showed undisguised love, for fear that he would see it.

While eating, she always watched Wen Yangzhi out of the corner of her eye, wanting to see him at different moments, collecting every moment about him in her mind, carefully pretending to play with her phone, but actually taking pictures of her brother.

Just like stamp collecting, every moment she has him makes her happy.

When she didn't know that NPD was extremely possessive, she had already confirmed her obsessive love, step by step, leaving footprints in the heavy snow. Her personality required the most privileged love, which put her first.

When she returned home at night, she deliberately sat on the passenger seat of his car. Wen Yangzhi's hand was on the door closing button beside the steering wheel, and he froze for a moment before returning to normal.

She would be secretly happy if she could occupy this position even for a moment.

But after returning home, she hardly saw Wen Yangzhi for several days.

Finally, she caught an opportunity. The servants at home were going to bring midnight snacks to Jinglou. She made an excuse, saying that she was going to ask her brother about the school application and that she happened to be there so could help bring it to her brother.

The servant was also happy that he didn't have to go to Jinglou to avoid causing trouble, and quickly handed the porridge to her.

When Yun Yuwan brought the midnight snack to the study, Wen Yangzhi had a stack of A4 papers filled with handwriting in front of him. He was leaning his forehead against his laptop, thinking quietly.

She knocked on the door.

The man's cold and self-sustaining voice came out:
"Come in."

Yun Yuwan walked in excitedly, without even raising Wen Yangzhi's head.

She felt that he was like a floating god, with half-opened and half-closed eyes, restrained and masculine, calmly and steadily watching the world, but never over-probing. There was almost no vitality in him, and the clear distinction of his aura excluded humans. Yun Yuwan walked to his table and didn't say anything. Wen Yangzhi felt something was wrong and looked up to find that it was her.

She bit her lip slightly, looking unhappy.

He turned slightly to the side and held her slender wrist with one hand. The chill on his body gradually eased with his gentle tone: "Brother is writing a paper, what's wrong?"

Her wrist was held by the man, but she couldn't be completely happy: "Brother, you ignored me when you came home this time."

He put down the pen with his other hand and asked her softly:
"What do you want to do with your brother?"

She didn't expect him to ask this. Many desires flashed through her heart in an instant, but she knew she couldn't say them.

She knew he was busy and that she was being unreasonable, but she still wanted to get a response from him:
"Can you stay with me?"

He explained in a gentle voice: "But my brother is a little busy and is meeting a deadline."

She didn't want to influence him and make him do bad things, but she was also reluctant to give up the opportunity she had finally obtained:
"Can I just read the comics next to you? I won't make any noise to disturb you."

Wen Yangzhi glanced at the side, as if he was unsure whether it would affect his paper, which he urgently needed to finish, but he still responded, "Okay."

Yun Yuwan was in high spirits, but she fell asleep as she watched, sitting on the carpet with her head against the glass window.

When I woke up, I was lying on my brother's bed.

Covered with Wen Yangzhi's quilt and sleeping on his pillow.

The bed was filled with the slightly cool but elegant and masculine scent of Wen Yangzhi. She crawled into the quilt and took a deep breath. The soft and warm quilt was filled with the scent of her brother.

Her brother allowed her to sleep in his bed, and she was vaguely happy, feeling that her brother accepted her.

It was the first time she entered her brother's room.

The quilt was dark grey, and there were some original books beside the bed. She flipped through them, but there were too many technical terms and she couldn't understand the contents.

The doorknob suddenly rang, and she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, afraid that he would see that she was awake and ask her to go back.

Wen Yangzhi came in and rummaged through the closet, hearing some rustling noises. She quietly opened her eyes a little and saw her brother unbuttoning his clothes.

She quickly closed her eyes.

After a while, he opened the door and went out again, and the clothes he took off on the stool at the end of the bed still had his residual warmth.

She left only when it was daybreak.

When Wen Yangzhi entered the room, he saw his shirt and sweater neatly folded at the end of the bed. He didn't know that she had never folded clothes so carefully and patiently before, almost wanting to smooth out every fine line before folding them and placing them at the end of his bed.

But if it would always be this good, perhaps Yun Yuwan would not have left.

That winter when he returned home, he stayed at home for a very short time, barely less than ten days.

The time they spent together was so short that she could only think about him and wait for him to come back.

She wrote in her diary that she missed her brother Hongsheng very much and wanted him to come home.

She comforted herself that everything would be fine by summer and her brother would graduate and stay in the country.

But she didn't expect that the first news Xia Tian heard about Wen Yangzhi was that her brother was with someone else.

Wens Bank has reached a long-term cooperation with one of the largest real estate companies currently.

When fireworks were set off on the lawn of Wenyuan, Zhao Qin occasionally laughed and teased: "Hong Kong students should also watch the fireworks with others now."

Wen Wei looked up at the sky full of fireworks: "Tokyo's fireworks display is romantic and suitable for young people to watch together."

Yun Yuwan didn't quite understand at first.

Wen Wei and Zhao Qin continued chatting on the side.

"Have you seen his girlfriend, the girl named Fu Yu?"

"Since they were college classmates, there's a high probability that they had an affair when they were in school. But we can't interfere with our son's relationship."

Yun Yuwan suddenly felt a stuffy sensation on the back of his head, as if he had been hit by a stick, and he stood there cold all over.

Wen Yangzhi has a girlfriend.

Maybe there were already signs of it the last time I saw him.

He said he didn't want to be in a relationship and didn't have a girlfriend, he was just fooling the kids.

He didn't treat her as a person of the opposite sex of the same age.

Of course it's even more impossible to like her.

She looked at the fireworks in the sky and suddenly wanted to cry.

Fireworks are so out of reach, why does she fall in love with the fireworks that are elusive?

The scattered meteors fell from the sky, hitting her like bullets at a speed of 180 miles per hour, and her tears and body shattered at the same time.

But my brother can’t see it. Maybe he is kissing someone else ambiguously. There is another girl in his arms, bathing in his brother’s tenderness and romance.

Bitterness fills my heart.

The next day Wen Yangzhi flew back to China.

Yun Yuwan was very surprised when she saw him, but she felt very sad:

"Brother, I heard that you and a sister went to see the fireworks display."

He took off the watch on his wrist: "Yeah."

She was still smiling, pretending to be playful: "Is she your girlfriend?"

He didn't care: "No."

She felt a little relieved, but pretended not to care, and even said, "We're all watching the fireworks together, if you like her, go after her, maybe she'll be your girlfriend."

Wen Yangzhi just perfunctorily said: "No need."

Her heart suddenly lost,
No need to chase,

They have already developed to this extent.

I'm afraid the relationship will be broken at the last moment.

"Hurry up and seize the opportunity, or someone else will snatch it away first."

Wen Yangzhi was just indifferent and didn't answer her question at all: "Which schools did you apply to before?"

She studied IB and had just finished the college entrance examination. At that moment, she just lowered her head, holding back tears and said, "They are all European schools."

In fact, she applied most often to schools in the United States, and in Europe she only applied to the University of the Arts London.

She thought that if her brother continued to study for a master's degree in the United States, she would have more opportunities to meet him.

But if he has a girlfriend, she doesn't want to see him at all, for fear that when she sees him she will also see his girlfriend and she will go crazy.

Wen Yangzhi just looked at her silently for a moment, his gaze was so hot that it seemed to penetrate her, as hot as an inky flame.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "That's good. Europe has a stronger humanistic atmosphere and is suitable for studying art. You have your reasons for choosing Europe."

She couldn't help but wonder if her brother had originally wanted her to go to the United States.

But why did she go to the United States? To let him continue to fulfill his duties as an older brother and take care of his younger sister?
