I'm a world apart from you

Chapter 11 Spending time with you (2)
Summer is really here, the sun is scorching and dazzling, and even the wind blowing in the afternoon is as hot as fire.The street trees on both sides of the campus are lush and lush. At noon, only under the cover of leaves, there is a green shade that is not scorched.

Wen Ge opened an envelope while walking—a letter that was over a month late with An Ran.

Sui Anran is her only friend, a friend who lives far away in L City, because of subsequent changes, she can only use this primitive way to keep in touch.

There were only a few words in this belated reply, and she briefly explained her own situation—the third year of high school was approaching, her parents were divorced, and she was not doing well.Because of the strong resistance, she was sent to the Fanyin Temple in L City by her father some time ago, and only recently came back to see Wen Ge's letter.

Wen Ge frowned, and stood under the tree for a long time before walking towards the teaching building.

The last section is the class of the head teacher.

Wen Ge's English grades are good and stable, and she is valued by the head teacher.Wen Ge originally liked the head teacher very much, until the day she found out that my uncle had been in touch with the head teacher, she unconsciously developed a subtle emotion towards the head teacher. If she had to describe that emotion, she couldn't find the right words .

Soon the final exam will come.

After eating, Wen Ge went to Mr. Wen's back garden to water the flowers as usual.

Ever since Old Man Wen fell ill that time, Wen Ge has been helping to take care of the flowers in the back garden.Later, the old man was discharged from the hospital, and he didn't take over again. He only got interested occasionally, and walked around the garden with her.

Orchid, who was standing on the flower stand high up, suddenly heard footsteps behind him, Wen Ge supported the flower stand and looked back.

The sun was about to set, and the whole garden was shrouded in a layer of golden light. Under the glare, Wen Ge looked at Wen Jingfan, and almost blurted out "Uncle"—she only called Wen Shaoyuan "Uncle".

As if seeing the flash of disappointment on her face, Wen Jingfan smiled and looked at her narrowly: "Waiting for someone?"

Wen Ge shook his head, and called him with a smile: "Uncle Jing Fan."

"Yeah." Wen Jingfan approached a few steps, glanced at the orchids that looked extraordinarily vibrant in the afterglow of the setting sun, folded the green stems with his fingertips, picked one off without mercy and held it in his hand to enjoy.

"Uncle Jing Fan, aren't you from Xiangfo, why do you pick flowers?" She muttered, then turned her head and continued watering.

Wen Jingfan asked the Buddha, the string of red sandalwood beads on his wrist was prayed in the temple during the recent vacation, and he just came back from the temple a few days ago.

I don't know if people who believe in Buddhism have such a gentle temperament, but the precipitation between his brows is something that Wen Shaoyuan didn't treat with indifference.

"Xiangfo can't pick flowers? What's the reason?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, interested.

"Didn't the "Avatamsaka Sutra" say that 'Buddha produces five-colored stems, one flower, one world, one leaf, one Tathagata'?" Wen Ge raised his arms, stood on tiptoes, and raised the watering bucket with some difficulty.

Wen Jingfan helped her up and asked, "Where did you see it?"

"You put it on my uncle's bookshelf, so I flipped through it." After finishing speaking, she stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, "I didn't know it was yours at first, but I looked at the cover carefully, so I flipped through it." Open it up and take a look."

Wen Jingfan had heard about Wen Shaoyuan's pampering of this little niece a long time ago, and he was not surprised that she could freely enter and leave Wen Shaoyuan's room, and was able to browse the books on the bookshelf at will.

Raising the corners of his lips, he said slowly, "I forgot to tell you, Shaoyuan is looking for you."

Wen Ge was complacent because Wen Jingfan looked at him with admiration. Hearing this, he was taken aback. When he turned around, he almost stepped on the air and fell off the wooden frame. Fortunately, Wen Jingfan helped her quickly, and then he regained his footing without any danger. .

If so, Wen Ge's arm was also scratched, and blood was oozing from the thin and long wound.

Almost subconsciously, before Wen Jingfan noticed, Wen Ge tore off the rolled-up sleeves of his school uniform, just covering the wound, and then jumped down from the wooden stand with his head down and holding the kettle.

"I'm going to find my uncle."

After washing his hands, Wen Ge went upstairs to find Wen Shaoyuan with the barley tea made by Aunt Xin.

She went to his room but was in vain, everything in the room was neat, there was not even a trace of him coming back.Wen Ge scratched his head in doubt, went downstairs again, searched around, and when he returned to his room, he realized that he had been waiting for her for a while.

What he was flipping through in his hand was her math correction book, and he had already read more than half of it.Seeing her back, he frowned slightly, and asked, "The final exam is coming tomorrow, where are you being naughty again?"

Wen Ge put the teacup on his left hand, like a primary school student who made a mistake and is listening to training, standing upright, looking at his error correction book from time to time, and then at Wen Shaoyuan, who was seriously looking at the wrong questions.

After being silent for a long time, Wen Ge finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Uncle, why are you back tonight?"

He didn't listen seriously, and his answer was perfunctory: "If you want to come back, you will come back."

Wen Ge snorted, and obediently withdrew her head to wait for instruction.

Wen Shaoyuan closed the correction book, glanced sideways at her, and asked, "Are you sure about the exam?"

Wen Ge thought about it seriously, then nodded.

"Then go to bed early tonight." He stood up, his eyes fell on her, and he seemed to think of something, and asked, "I heard from your class teacher that your sitting posture is not normal recently, is it nearsighted?"

Wen Ge was staring at his own toes in a daze. Hearing this, he was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head blankly: "No!"

You even have to tell my uncle about the sitting position?
"Uncle, do you often contact our homeroom teacher?" Her voice was muffled, and she was startled when she said it.

Wen Shaoyuan didn't notice her strangeness, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and when he spoke again, there was a bit of warmth in his voice: "I will contact you every week. What's the matter?" in a casual tone.

Wen Ge opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt inappropriate, so he silently swallowed them back.

She was even more depressed, but she didn't know it at all, her little thoughts were all shown on her face.

"What do you want to say?" He bent down and glanced at her.

"No." Wen Ge shook his head, afraid that he would see it, he lowered his head and pulled his sleeves, "I have nothing to say..."

Before he finished speaking, his wrist was grasped by him.

Wen Ge was startled, and looked up at him.

Wen Shaoyuan's eyes fell on the slightly swollen wound on her forearm.

The wound was obviously cleaned briefly, and a clear bloodstain appeared on her white and thin arm.

"How did you do it?" He lowered his face and looked at her.

His gaze sank instantly, slightly cold.

Wen Ge twitched her hand, but unexpectedly, Wen Shaoyuan's fingers clasped her wrist tightly, and she couldn't move anymore: "I'll ask you how you did it." Every word was clear and cold.

"It's for the flower stand." She moved her arm towards his eyes, and smiled heartlessly, "Hurrah, uncle. Every time I get hurt or fall outside, my grandma will call me when I get home." call."

Originally, the scratch was not so serious. Wen Ge just washed it while washing his hands, but it turned out to be swollen, a long one, and it looked really painful.In fact, she was in pain for a while, and the pain was gone without bleeding.

Unexpectedly, Wen Shaoyuan listened to what she said casually, his face changed a few times, he let go of his hand, and said in a blunt tone, "I won't."

How does it end?

On the night after the exam, Wen Ge received a call from Jiang Junyu.

I don't know if it's because of a cold, Jiang Junyu's voice is a little hoarse, when Wen Ge asked, she laughed a few times, and only said that the training was too intense and her throat hurt.Although Wen Ge found it strange, Jiang Junyu didn't want to say more, and she didn't ask any more.

Jiang Junyu took two sips of tea, cleared her throat again, and then got to the point: "Wen Ge, do you want to come over for summer vacation?"

This was one of the multiple-choice questions given to her by Wen Shaoyuan more than a month ago. At that time, she asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Can I be with my uncle?"

Wen Shaoyuan stared at her for a long time, then smiled lightly, and asked, "With me?"

The sound was so distant that it was like a piece of music from ancient times, so erratic that Wen Ge couldn't hear it clearly, and couldn't guess its meaning.

Then, he asked again: "Wen Ge, what did you call me?"

His serious attitude made Wen Ge a little uneasy: "Call me Uncle."

Wen Ge doesn't like such questions very much, he is doomed to have no solution, and is also doomed to be helpless.Moreover, as soon as such a question was uttered, it was as if a pair of invisible hands were pushing her, pushing her away from her uncle, farther and farther away.

He didn't answer her in the end, whether the third choice existed, or the multiple choice question was left alone. He didn't ask any more questions, and Wen Ge didn't mention it anymore, but she already had the answer in her heart.

"My uncle arranged cram schools and interest classes for me during the summer vacation. I want to stay in City A."

Wen Ge's summer vacation started in a hurry. During the few days of waiting for her grades, Mr. Wen took her and Aunt Xin to Jinguang Temple for a short stay.

Although the place of going out is in this city, Wen Ge is still very happy, this is her first time going out for fun except for the group activities organized by the school.

Jinguang Temple is much larger than the Fanyin Temple in L City. It is located on the top of the mountain, and you can admire its style from the foot of the mountain. The red walls and black tiles, and something on the eaves are shining in the sun, making the whole Jinguang Temple majestic and elegant. magnificent.

There are many tourists who come to Jinguang Temple every year. The dirt road that was difficult to walk has long been repaired into a wide cement road. If you don’t want to climb the mountain, you can drive up from the other side of the mountain road.

Wen Ge likes the fast food and afternoon tea at Jinguang Temple, and Mr. Wen would copy Buddhist scriptures after taking a nap, and every day Wen Ge would send pastries to Mr. Wen after he received them.Occasionally, the old man wants to practice calligraphy on a whim, and she will be a little book boy, studying ink and laying paper.All the cakes that were usually given to the old man went into her stomach.

Although it was only a few days, it was the first time Wen Ge put aside everything and completely relaxed after arriving at Wen's house.

The final exam results were much better than Wen Ge expected, but her math foundation was too weak, even if she tried her best to keep up with the team, she barely reached the good line.

Such a result made Wen Ge temporarily heave a sigh of relief.

Two months of leisurely time passed by in cram schools and interest classes, and the scorching heat of summer was covered up by the busyness and fullness. Except for the slightest heat, I couldn't recall anything else, and that feeling was like passing through The fine sunlight cast by the branches and leaves is warm and bright.

She suddenly discovered that she didn't have to live half a year ago all the time, and lived in her own memory.She really has a new life and is trying to adapt, blend in, and make progress.

September.

On the first day of school, Wen Shaoyuan drove Wen Ge to school. This was the first time she saw him after the summer vacation.

Shengyuan Hotel has taken root in City A, and its development is getting better and better. Wen Shaoyuan came up with the idea of ​​opening a chain store. He spent the whole summer vacation in City S, inspecting and supervising work, and didn't come back until late last night.

Wen Ge's physique is not good, and she gets sick easily. Aunt Xin never lets her turn on the air conditioner when she sleeps. She opens the door to ventilate at night, and hangs a breathable curtain on the door, so she can hear any movement. Clearly.

When she was sleeping in a daze last night, she vaguely felt that someone had come back, and she could hear Aunt Xin's footsteps coming downstairs, which were clear and hurried.At first she thought it was Wen Jingfan, but she didn't know it was my uncle who came back last night until she went downstairs in the morning and saw Wen Shaoyuan sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

Although there are occasional phone calls, it's been a long time since we've seen each other.

When she was standing in front of him blankly, not knowing how to react at all, he removed the newspaper in his hand, looked up at her, and said calmly: "Come over for breakfast, and I'll take you to school after eating. "

Ever since Wen Ge saw him, it was like a ball of paste in his mind, he said what he said, and after oh, he pulled out the chair obediently, sat beside him and ate with his head down.

Wen Ge was still in a trance, so he got into his car and came to the school.

The busiest day of the school was definitely the registration for the start of the school year. The school gate was crowded with students and parents. Wen Shaoyuan could only park his car far away, and the two of them walked over.

There were too many people, Wen Ge didn't have much strength, he couldn't push the people in front of him, and was almost squeezed by the crowd several times. Fortunately, Wen Shaoyuan was quick with his hands and eyes, and grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back to protect him in front of him. Stay, this is the only danger.

The more people walked in, the more people walked in, almost to the point that it was impossible to move an inch. In the end, Wen Shaoyuan became impatient, so he simply took her hand, opened the way ahead, and let her follow behind.

When he arrived at the teaching building, he was already so hot that he took off his suit jacket and put it on his arms. Thin beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead and cheeks.

Seeing her looking up at him from time to time, Wen Shaoyuan could no longer pretend not to see her calmly, lowered his head, and stared at her: "What are you looking at?"

Wen Ge replied seriously: "Look at Uncle."

Wen Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a slight smile in his tone: "You've grown up and don't know how to be ashamed?"

"Look at why my own uncle is shy?" Her tone was taken for granted. Seeing that he was concentrating slightly, she reached out and held him directly, fearing that he would break away, and then silently clenched a little more, "Uncle, I Can I hold you?"

Wen Shaoyuan frowned, and the hand he was about to withdraw froze immediately.

He lowered his eyes and saw her looking up at him with a smile, those eyes were as bright as stars, curved like crescent moons, he thought about it, looked away, and walked to her classroom, he didn't say yes, but he didn't let go of her either. .

Wen Ge stared at the hands held together by the two, and couldn't help being lost in thought.

In the noisy environment, the human voice seemed to disappear at this moment, and everyone else's figures were blurred and faded away, leaving only the hurried silhouette beside him.

This corridor is obviously not very long, and the marble floor is obviously dazzled by the light, but she has a warm feeling that she can't go to the end - her heart beats.

This feeling hit my heart directly, and Wen Ge felt a little overwhelmed for a moment, and hurriedly withdrew the back of her hand behind her, her whole face was already blushing shyly, not even escaping her ears, like a piece of crimson jade, shiny and soft Transparent.

With his hands empty, Wen Shaoyuan subconsciously lowered his head to look at her. Seeing her appearance, he couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?"

Wen Ge's hands behind his back kept twisting and twisting.

She was facing the sun, and when she raised her eyes, she was dazzled by the dazzling light and her eyes went black for a while.

She pursed her lips, suddenly a little embarrassed: "Uncle, I'm ashamed."

Before Wen Shaoyuan had time to speak, there was a sudden burst of laughter from the door of the classroom in front of him. A tall, handsome boy whom Wen Ge had never seen before was standing there and looking at them with a smile.

Seeing them looking over, the boy grinned a small canine tooth, his eyes fell on Wen Ge, he paused for a while, then turned and left.

"Student?" Wen Shaoyuan called out.

Wen Ge shook his head, a little strange: "I haven't seen it before!"

There is no reason to have seen such a good-looking boy but not remember him.

The head teacher was sitting behind the desk registering names and collecting tuition fees. When she turned to look at the door, she saw Wen Ge and Wen Shaoyuan walking towards her.

Wen Shaoyuan lowered his head slightly, and was listening to Wen Ge's words. The posture of listening was quiet and patient, and his slightly sideways face was bathed in the sun, which was so beautiful that it made people feel lingering.

The homeroom teacher paused as he pressed down the pen cap, and couldn't help but slander: Talk about the importance of reincarnation!

In the new semester, the seat needs to be re-adjusted. The head teacher has not hesitated to move Wen Ge from the fourth row on the far right to the third position on the right side of the second row directly opposite the podium—a standard seat for a high school student , enjoy the comfort of the cool breeze, and just stay away from dust particles... Oh, I heard that there is also a great deskmate who can provide her with learning motivation and help--it is really well-intentioned.

After Wen Shaoyuan paid the tuition, he went to the car to wait for Wen Ge.

Wen Ge handed in her homework, walked to her new seat and sat down, just next to the chair, a breeze swept by her side, she looked up in surprise, the boy she saw at the door just now was sitting beside her seat.

He was also looking at her, with the corners of his lips bent, still smiling, but the smile was bad, and he asked maliciously, "I'm at the same table?"

The head teacher told my uncle just now that she specially arranged a new partner-style deskmate who is "excellent in all aspects, and has all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor". He should be him.

Wen Ge looked away and nodded.

The other party also saw that she didn't like to talk to her, so he tactfully stopped talking to her.
