I'm a world apart from you

Chapter 23 I want to be with you (7)
Wen Ge has been in poor health since she was a child. Later, when her grandmother passed away, not only was there no one to take care of her, she was delayed at her cousin's house, and her foundation was even weaker, and then she came to Wen's house. Fortunately, Aunt Xin continued to give her nutrition. At Xu Liqing's place, Aunt Xin also asked Wen Shaoyuan to send him soup every now and then.

After meeting Xu Liqing a few times, she didn't say anything clearly, but one day after Wen Shaoyuan left, she said to Wen Ge: "If you don't like the smell of this aunt's cooking, I'll find you another one later."

Wen Ge glanced at her, feeling a little uncomfortable, but still shook her head, pretending that she didn't understand anything, and replied with a smile: "No need to change, I think it's pretty good."

But she couldn't refuse Aunt Xin's kindness, even if accepting it would make Xu Liqing unhappy.

If she hadn't noticed anything before, after doing this a few times, Wen Ge finally understood that Xu Liqing treated her well by treating herself as a family, but she didn't mean to let her children receive the favor of the adoptive family in the past.For Wen Ge, this is not a good thing, but a threat.

After Xu Liqing went on a business trip, there was no one at home at night, and tomorrow was the physical examination. Wen Ge finished her homework at school and thought about taking a vacation for herself. When she returned home, she didn't even take out her books from her schoolbag. Lying on the sofa, crossing your legs and watching TV.

When the phone rang, Wen Ge thought it was Xu Liqing, picked it up and gave a feed, but heard Bai Junyi's familiar voice, she didn't even bother to sit upright, she just lazily nestled on the sofa to have a match with him talking.

Hearing a lot of nonsense from him, Wen Ge finally figured out what he wanted to do.Bai Junyi felt that Wen Ge's physical fitness was too poor. Every time she ran, she tried her best but was only a trailblazer. She was afraid that if she was too nervous tonight, it would affect her mood for the exam tomorrow, so she kindly called to do some ideological work.

However, Bai Junyi obviously thought too much. Although she was nervous and worried about tomorrow's exam, she didn't scare herself away without going to the exam room. Besides, wasn't she relaxing herself?
The young man who was ridiculed by Wen Ge frowned, with an unhappy expression on his face: "I am concerned about you. I said Wen Ge, so you can't accept my kindness?"

"Accepted!" Wen Ge took a piece of candy and put it in his mouth, his voice was so vague that Bai Junyi could barely hear it, "Otherwise I would have hung up on you long ago."

Bai Junyi on the other end of the phone took several deep breaths and snorted: "Be careful tomorrow."

Wen Ge sneered, not paying attention at all.

Just about to hang up the phone, Bai Junyi called out to her again: "Have you heard about the case that happened in Fengye Community recently?"

Wen Ge thought for a while, and asked, "The community where the burglary happened a few days ago and the murder happened?"

"I thought you were a nerd and didn't know anything!" Bai Junyi muttered, without talking nonsense to her, and said directly, "I haven't caught him yet! You are at home alone recently, check the doors and windows before going to bed , don't be careless."

Wen Ge responded casually, and after hanging up the phone, he lost the mood of watching TV, turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower, preparing to rest.

In fact, she doesn't watch TV or pay attention to the news. If Wen Shaoyuan didn't mention this matter, she wouldn't know about it at all.However, Xu Liqing's house has high floors and is equipped with anti-theft windows, so it is very safe. In addition, this is the city center with sufficient security forces. How could a wanted criminal have the guts to come to such a bustling place.

Wen Shaoyuan made a few phone calls, but they were told that the line was busy. Finally, he looked at the time and guessed that she had already fallen asleep, so he simply gave up.

However, the failure to get through the phone still made his mood clouded with a little irritability. Looking at the documents spread out in front of him, he knew every word, and when they were pieced together, they turned into dazzling characters.

He couldn't see it, so he closed it, pushed open the door of the lounge, and went in to make himself a cup of coffee.

From the window, one can have a panoramic view of the bustling city A, but this night scene is enjoyed by one person alone, no matter how gorgeous and charming it is, it feels a bit lonely.

For the physical test, the girl group starts first.

Wen Ge was assigned to the second group, and Zhu Qingwan was in the same group as her.

Stretching her limbs on the lawn inside the runway, Zhu Qingwan saw Bai Junyi walking across the runway, squatted down and lightly bumped into Wen Ge who was sitting on the ground picking grass and destroying the lawn: "Look who is here?"

Wen Ge squinted his eyes and looked over, only to see that Xiao Bai was wearing a white sportswear. He was tall and had long legs, which was particularly eye-catching among boys. In addition, he had a good face. Isn't he just like a prince charming?

Bai Junyi was carrying two bottles of mineral water, one for Wen Ge and one for Zhu Qingwan.

Seeing the laziness of the former, he glanced at the first group of girls who were starting to prepare, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, sat down opposite Wen Ge, didn't speak, just stared at her, with a three-pointed smile in his eyes. With good intentions.

Zhu Qingwan looked funny, raised her foot and kicked Bai Junyi: "Why are you staring at Wen Ge like that?"

Bai Junyi snorted twice: "Look at her joke!"

Wen Ge nearly choked on a sip of water, glared at him fiercely, got up and moved his limbs.

Although she acted like a normal person, she was actually feeling frightened, but after thinking about it, if she didn't have a full score, she wouldn't have a full score. If you want to control it, you can't control it.

I don’t know if it’s because of the sun, or maybe it’s the pressure accumulated at this time. Wen Ge suddenly felt that the runway was long and endless, and every step he took was as heavy as lead on his legs. .

Seeing Wen Ge being overtaken by the people behind him one by one, Bai Junyi gradually fell out of the team, and pinched the water bottle so anxiously that it made a crackling noise.Before he could react, he had already followed Wen Ge's pace during her second lap.

Wen Ge saw a white figure appearing beside him from the corner of his eye, he was startled, turned his head to look, saw that it was Bai Junyi, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Don't be distracted. I haven't hugged him for so long, I really have you." Bai Junyi turned his head to look at her, and suddenly smiled, "Keep up with my speed, and I will run with you."

Wen Ge was already so tired that his forehead was sweating, and his throat was as dry as if he had been exposed to the sun. Hearing his words, his head became dizzy for a while, and he didn't say a word in the end, just kept up with his speed.

Wen Ge ran to the finish line without any risk, stepping on the passing time. Wen Ge only had time to glance at the result, his feet were weak, and he wanted to sit down on the ground, but Bai Junyi grabbed his arms and dragged him to the shade of the lawn.

"It looks like you're worthless."

After passing the exam, Wen Ge felt relieved, and didn't bother to argue with him, so he walked a few steps with his support, and when he saw someone looking over, he withdrew his hand, pursed his lips, and said, "Thank you!"

Bai Junyi gave her a squinting look, the corners of his lips curled up, and he began to smile, that smile was as bright as spring.

After the physical examination, Wen Ge, who finally didn't have to practice running suddenly, had time to breathe, and gradually put all his energy into studying.

When you are young, it is the time when the relationship between men and women is vague and curious. In addition, the third year of junior high school is heavy, and the whole day is either reviewing or commenting on sample questions. Gossip has become the only weapon to relieve the pressure of study. The matter of running around with Wen Ge has always been at the top of the gossip list.

Even if Wen Ge didn't hear what was going on outside the window, she knew about it—oh, it wasn't just hearsay, but someone stopped her directly and asked, "Is Bai Junyi your boyfriend?"

Wen Ge glanced at the other party, looked around him, and said calmly: "Your class will deduct one point for not wearing a student ID card."

She was too lazy to deal with these things, but in the end...

After the grades of the girl's class were deducted in the "public report", not only the class, but also the whole class went viral. Bai Xiaocao's girlfriend was the same class and deskmate—Wen Ge who was in charge of the discipline inspection.

After Wen Ge was called to the office by the head teacher to give a side-by-side reminder, she wrinkled her nose and stated in a rather forceful tone: "Bai Junyi and I are just friends."

As long as there is something wrong with her in school, the class teacher will communicate with Wen Shaoyuan, which Wen Ge knew from Wen Jingfan not long ago.Knowing this, how dare she be sloppy anymore, the relationship with Wen Shaoyuan was alienated in the first place, and now she doesn't want Wen Shaoyuan to misunderstand her at all.

The homeroom teacher took a surprise look at Wen Ge, and didn't say much, but Wen Ge didn't know what she was thinking.

A few days later, Xu Liqing came back, didn't say much else, just said that she was sent abroad and was going to exchange and study, and had to stay until the end of the university semester, and asked Wen Ge if she wanted to move to Wen's house temporarily.

Wen Ge knew what Xu Liqing was worried about, but she was alone during this time, so she had nothing to be afraid of. Someone would do the housework, and someone would cook the food. She was at home alone, and instead enjoyed herself.

In the twinkling of an eye, the end of the term is just around the corner.

This semester feels extremely short, and with the fact that junior high school graduates will take exams in mid-June, there is not much time left for Wen Ge to work hard.The intensity of the cram school also began to increase, and her homework was pressed down like a hill, which caused her recent nervous tension and severe brain exhaustion, and this state directly manifested in worsening sleep quality.

Xu Liqing is on a business trip, so there is no need to tell her to make her worry; Aunt Xin is careful, knowing that she must be giving her all kinds of food supplements—Aunt Xin is the only person who can make her feel like a grandmother again, and she doesn't want it at all. Let Aunt Xin worry about it; as for Wen Shaoyuan, Wen Ge always cared about his sentence "In terms of law, you have nothing to do with me", so naturally he didn't want to rush to trouble him.

After "holding the corpse" for a long time, she finally couldn't bear it any longer. She frowned and planned to go to the kitchen to make a glass of milk.As soon as she turned around, she heard a soft click of the door lock in the silent night. She was taken aback and raised her ears in doubt—there seemed to be a sound outside the door.

Wen Ge's heartbeat suddenly went out of order, and for a moment, his mind went blank, he just held his breath and listened intently.

Although the rustling sound was small, but Wen Ge focused all his attention on hearing, the sound was extraordinarily clear, and fear suddenly flooded in like a tide.

Wen Ge listened to the voices outside in horror.

The other party seemed to be opening a cabinet, perhaps because she knew she was the only one in the house, and did not deliberately hide her voice.

When she realized this, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she instantly remembered the robbery case in Maple Leaf Community more than a month ago, and she immediately shuddered.

She hid under the quilt tremblingly for a long time, listening to the voice of the person outside who hadn't left, desperately trying to calm herself down, but the rapid breathing and beating heart almost made her blood boil.

Closing her eyes fiercely, Wen Ge wiped the cold sweat that was constantly oozing from her forehead, and lightly lifted the quilt - the phone was at the bedside, she could reach it, call the police.

Finally touched the phone, the cold touch made her mind clear up for a moment, she quickly took a breath, was about to pick up the dial, but suddenly heard footsteps approaching her.

Wen Ge's eyes widened suddenly, maintaining this movement, his body was almost stiff, many bloody images involuntarily appeared in his mind, the feeling of fear reached its peak in the sound of approaching footsteps, and his throat tightened for a while.

She turned her ears sideways, not daring to make any movement, her temples throbbed, and the imminent fear made her almost scream out.She gathered her fingers together, her nails pierced her palm fiercely, her teeth bit her lips hard, until she heard footsteps stop at her door, her tense nerves almost broke.

Just when Wen Ge thought that the man would open the door and come in, he heard a click, and the man entered Xu Liqing's room.

Wen Ge breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his lips had been bitten, and the smell of blood permeated the entire mouth.Her back was already drenched in cold sweat, and the quilt was still on her body, making her feel so sticky and uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Ge lightly grabbed the phone and dialed.

Although he knew the busy tone was very light, but when he put it next to his ear, the sound was amplified several times. Wen Ge's fingers trembled uncontrollably, and there was only one thought in his mind. Fortunately, there was no key tone on the phone.

After trembling, she dialed a series of mobile phone numbers, and locked her eyes tightly on the door, for fear that the person would find her and break in in the next second.

At this time, the wait was extremely long.

The busy tone was cold and mechanical, and Wen Ge was trembling all over.

Just when she was disheartened and about to hang up the phone and choose to call the police, the busy tone cut off, and a clear voice came from the other end: "Xiao Geer?"

Wen Ge's nose was sore, as if he was hugging the driftwood firmly, suppressing his fear, lowered his voice, and said word by word: "Uncle, come and save me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a muffled sound outside, as if something had fallen to the ground.Wen Ge was so frightened that his hands shook, his eyes were as black as midnight, shining with fear.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, Wen Ge's tense nerves also tightened inch by inch, her chest and heart beat out of order, and the dull sound covered everything, she couldn't hear what Wen Shaoyuan was saying at all.

The sweat oozing from her forehead slid down and landed on her eyelashes. When she blinked, her eyes were warm.When she licked her lips and tasted the strong smell of blood on the tip of her tongue, her blank brain finally started to function—no, she couldn't sit still.

Her intuition told her that this late-night visitor was not a good person.

At the same time she made this decision, the footsteps outside the door stopped, and there was an instant silence.In the next second, the doorknob was gently pushed down, the door was opened, and the cool moonlight outside came in through the crack of the door.

Wen Ge's heartbeat almost stopped.

Against the light, the man was of medium build, with a hood covering his face, Wen Ge couldn't see his face at all, only his exposed eyes were gloomy, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, looking at him coolly. to her.

For a moment, it was as if a pair of hands were strangling her throat, her throat tightened for a while, she wanted to scream, but when the fear in her heart reached its peak, her voice suddenly became hoarse, unable to make any sound, she could only clenched helplessly. Receiver, staring at each other.

"Awake?" The other party seemed a little surprised, his voice was gloomy and hoarse, sending a chill down Wen Ge's spine.

She couldn't help coughing lightly, tried to open her mouth, and said intermittently based on instinct only: "Don't hurt me. Everything here, whatever you want...you can take it away." Hoarse, fearful , with choked pleading.

The person standing at the door smiled coldly and looked at her for a while.It was probably because she was huddled in a small ball in the corner, and he didn't feel a sense of crisis in his heart. He didn't plan to go forward, but asked her in a cold tone and a rough voice: "What's the password of the safe?"

Wen Ge's thoughts were confused, and he could hardly think normally. After a moment of stupefaction, he finally came to his senses.

She rarely went to Xu Liqing's room. As for the safe, she didn't even know it existed. How could she know the password?But at times like this, she can't show ignorance. Once she loses her use value, what she will encounter is...

After trying to understand this, her voice trembled, she tried her best to suppress the choking, and told him as clearly as possible: "My mother didn't tell me, but I probably know what it is...it seems to be her birthday 690711, or... Wen Ge paused, coughed lightly, lowered his head, and reported another series of numbers.

Perhaps it was because of the fear and panic in her tone that the other party didn't notice anything unusual. The man's scrutinizing eyes only stayed on her for a moment, then turned and left.

Wen Ge immediately let go of the breath that was tightly held in his throat, and when he let go of the receiver, he realized that his palms were wet with sweat.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the other party turned to go to Xu Liqing's room to try the password to unlock it, Wen Ge propped up the wall with his limp arms and stood up quickly.However, as soon as she took a step forward, she felt limp and powerless, as if she had pulled out her muscles and bones.

She closed her eyes, calmed herself down, and pinched her arm hard.Pain suddenly spread throughout her nerves, her chaotic mind cleared up a bit, and she ran out quickly without any hesitation.

Her room was facing the living room, so if you ran faster, you could get out of the room before the man could react.

Just run out... just run out...

This thought drove her crazy, and she didn't even think about the consequences of the other party turning around and catching up if she didn't succeed.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, she had never been so thirsty for speed.
