I'm a world apart from you

Chapter 41 The Difference Between You and Me (3)
After riding for a while, after making sure that he was out of Wen Shaoyuan's line of sight, Wen Ge quietly let out a breath, and relaxed the foot that had been stepping on the pedal stiffly.

He Xing looked embarrassed, he glanced at Wen Shaoyuan who was silent in the back seat of the car in embarrassment, sat back in the driver's seat despondently, thought for a while, looked at Wen Shaoyuan carefully through the rearview mirror, and asked Said: "Boss, do you want to catch up and have a look?"

Wen Shaoyuan still maintained the posture just now, until Wen Ge's figure disappeared from sight, then he lowered his head and said vaguely: "No need."

When he lowered his eyes, a gloomy black color suddenly surged in his eyes, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent. He raised the car window, and his tone was so flat that it was almost indifferent: "Go back to the hotel."

After returning home, Wen Ge cooked the rice first, then hurriedly rode to the supermarket to buy ingredients.

In the evening, the vegetables and meat were no longer fresh. Wen Ge only picked out a small portion of beef and a carrot, and a handful of vegetables—one person can’t eat much, one meat and one vegetable, plus a dried radish .

For dried radishes, Wen Ge only buys those produced in L City.

When she was young, her grandmother raised her, she had to get up early to go to school, and her breakfast was either wonton or white porridge.Every time she cooks porridge, grandma always serves her with a salted duck egg and a small dish of dried radish.

She likes to eat the yolk of salted duck eggs. She peels off a small piece of eggshell and scrapes the whole yolk with chopsticks. With crispy and sweet dried radish, she can often drink two bowls of porridge.

Later, on the way to school, she suddenly remembered that she didn't bring a water bottle, so she went back to get it. As soon as she entered the room, she saw her grandmother squinting and scraping the egg whites into the bowl. Suddenly felt sad.After that, she didn't even care about the salted duck eggs, and always felt that she was not filial to save an egg white for grandma.

Later... there was no later.

When the fried beef and shredded carrots came out of the pan, Xu Liqing, who was far away in N City, called to say hello.

Ever since Wen Ge moved out to live alone, Xu Liqing's calls have been very frequent.She is always worried about Wen Ge, and will call every once in a while to check her status and tell her to be safe.

The first few times I still felt very sweet, but after a long time, my ears were calloused from hearing the song.

What happened that year was that she, the client, didn't take it seriously anymore.

Speaking of which, Xu Liqing didn't care about why Wen Ge suddenly moved out of Wen Shaoyuan's place, and didn't even ask a word.At first, Wen Ge felt that Xu Liqing respected her choice, but after so long, Xu Liqing didn't even mention Wen Shaoyuan's name, Wen Ge could not help feeling that everyone seemed to have an almost tacit silence on a certain matter, The old man is like this, Xu Liqing is like this, Wen Jingfan is like this, even Wen Shiqian is like this.

After she moved back to live, Wen Shiqian visited her several times, occasionally staying for a meal, but uncharacteristically, he seldom mentioned Wen Shaoyuan in front of her.

This feeling is not very good.

After eating, Wen Ge was about to clear the dining table, when she heard the doorbell ringing, which startled her, she hurriedly put down the rag in her hand to check the situation.

Through the peephole, Wen Ge felt embarrassed when he saw someone standing outside, hesitating whether to pretend he didn't know that he didn't see the door behind closed doors, or to welcome people in with a haha?The former is outrageous, the latter...

Before she could figure it out, Wen Shaoyuan's cold voice sounded outside the door: "Open the door." Those eyes looked straight at the cat's eyes, as if they could penetrate.

Wen Ge's heart skipped a beat, and he patted his face lightly to make himself look better, then rolled his eyes and opened the door with a smile: "Uncle, why are you here?"

Wen Shaoyuan didn't answer, walked straight into the room, glanced at the shoe cabinet, and then asked her: "Have you eaten?"

Just as Wen Ge closed the door, she looked back and saw that he seemed to be looking for something. The tacit understanding of getting along with her for many years made her immediately squat down, and took out a pair of brand new men's slippers from the shoe cabinet: "This pair has never been worn."

Putting the slippers in front of him, she answered his question just now: "I just finished eating. Uncle, have you eaten yet?"

Wen Shaoyuan followed the pair of dark slippers in her hand and looked at her fair fingers, then looked over her baggy school uniform and moved directly to her face, and said bluntly: "I haven't eaten. Is there any leftovers?" ?”

So... are you here for dinner?

Wen Shaoyuan didn't seem to see the hesitant and strange expression on her face, and went straight to the dining table, glanced at more than half of the dishes left and the dried radishes that had been dealt with until there were only tintins left, frowned subconsciously, and asked : "Just eat these?"

"What's wrong with these?" Wen Ge, who had gained a lot of guts, pouted, not at all frightened by Wen Shaoyuan's aura.

I went to the kitchen to look at the "surplus food", and found only one bowl. She brought it over and looked at him with piercing eyes: "That's all. Uncle, do you want to stay and eat?"

What responded to her was the sound of Wen Shaoyuan pulling away the chair.

He sat down and took the chopsticks from Wen Singer, his movements were as natural as it had happened many times.

Wen Ge watched in a daze, and was in a daze, as if he saw the past.

The time spent with Wen Shaoyuan flashed before her eyes like movie clips, and she suddenly realized that there were so many memories between them, and now she could no longer treat him simply as a brother-in-law .

Wen Ge stood aside blankly for a while, saw that he was eating, and felt embarrassed to look around, turned around and went to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes.

She is determined to change herself, and the first step is not to rely too much on him, and this has been done very well so far, hasn't she?Of course, she would not admit that all the starting point was just because she wanted to avoid him - she didn't want to see him, she didn't want to know his news, and she didn't want to use "his responsibility" to intersect with his life anymore.

Wen Ge cleaned up the kitchen, Wen Shaoyuan also finished eating, he put away a few empty plates and brought them in, without asking her to wash them, he threw a clean towel over to let her dry her hands, and put the plates into the empty dishes by himself. Foam in the pool.

Wen Ge watched his slender, well-knit fingers soak in the water, and struggled for a long time, but finally he didn't let himself uncontrollably sweep them over.

She opened the refrigerator and looked. There were still a few apples in the crisper. She took them out, washed them, peeled them, cut them into slices carefully, and finally inserted a few toothpicks.

As soon as he turned his head, he met Shang Wen Shaoyuan's deep and indistinguishable eyes, which seemed to sweep the entire night, as cool as water and as light as wind.

"Why move back?" he asked.

Wen Ge had already figured out how to answer, and didn't hesitate at all: "I've grown up, and I don't want to live with my uncle."

I don't know if the answer was in his expectation, Wen Shaoyuan didn't show any surprise at all, he just stared at her for a while, reached out to take an apple from her side, sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV.

Like so many nights they've spent together, there's nothing out of the ordinary.

Wen Ge stood in the kitchen, listening to the news broadcast from the living room, his nose was sore and uncomfortable, and he suddenly wanted to cry.She went back to the sink, scooped up a few handfuls of water and washed her face, only to wake up a little bit.

When Wen Ge walked out, Wen Shaoyuan was holding an apple in his mouth. Hearing the sound, he glanced sideways at her and didn't ask any more questions.

Just like that, the two sat on both sides of the sofa. After watching the news for a while, he stood up.

Wen Ge's gaze immediately turned to him.

Wen Shaoyuan checked the doors and windows, and then walked back, turned off the dazzling crystal lamp, left an incandescent lamp for lighting, and walked out—this meant that he was leaving.

Wen Ge hurriedly got up to see him off, watched him change his shoes unhurriedly, and opened the door. As soon as he said "goodbye, uncle", Wen Shaoyuan suddenly turned his head and glanced at her, and said in a very natural tone: " Tomorrow night, I will increase the amount of food, and today is not enough. There is no need to buy fruit, someone from my side sent some, and bring them when you come to eat."

After finishing the words, seeing the dull and unrecoverable expression of the little girl behind him, he finally calmed down after being suffocated all night. With his back to her, he quietly raised his lips.

In the blink of an eye, one semester has passed.

A few days before the start of the summer vacation, Wen Ge packed his luggage, and as soon as the school break was over, he went to N City to join Xu Liqing with all his bags.She came back only two days before the start of the second year of high school, and she brought back not only the special products of N city, but also the mobile phone that Xu Liqing rewarded.

As for Wen Shaoyuan's strange behavior, Wen Ge also mentioned it to Xu Liqing - ever since Xu Liqing gave in and compromised that time, the relationship between the "mother and daughter" has become better and better, and Wen Ge will take the initiative when there are things that I don't understand Share with Xu Liqing.

Xu Liqing responded with a meaningful smile and said nothing.

Wen Ge didn't do anything throughout the summer vacation, just trying to figure out what Xu Liqing's smile implied.

The second year of high school begins, and the arts and sciences are divided into classes.

Wen Ge chose science, and there are very few girls who study science. In her junior high school class, only she and Li Jiani were assigned to the same class, and they naturally became deskmates.

Wen Ge's mathematics is weak. After the second class of high school, she dare not take it lightly. In addition to listening carefully in class, she also works hard after class and completes her homework carefully. When she has free time, she uses a few sets of test questions that Wen Shaoyuan brought her shortly after the start of school.

Ever since Wen Shaoyuan came to have dinner that day, this mode seems to have been accepted by default.

It was a weekend holiday, if Wen Shaoyuan came over, he would send her a text message in advance, and even if he didn't come, he would ask her to close the doors and windows before she went to bed.

With such a mode of getting along that is neither salty nor dull, neither advancing nor retreating, Wen Ge couldn't tell for a while whether it violated her original intention.

The result of hard work is naturally gratifying. Wen Ge ranked among the best in the midterm exam and still maintained a brilliant record, but compared with Bai Junyi, who has a natural advantage in science, he is still far behind - he is in the top ten of the whole grade. at the front and she at the back.

Two of them are at the top of the top ten list, and the other is at the bottom of the list. Even Li Jiani couldn't help but tease: "If you don't know that you and Bai Junyi have nothing to do, this can be called a different kind of show of affection."

Wen Ge laughed and didn't respond.

Half a year ago, the relationship between her and Bai Junyi was rumored to be raging, and half a year later, no one brought the two of them together anymore.

After the exam, there was a parent meeting once a semester. Wen Ge struggled for a week, but she didn't mention it to Wen Shaoyuan, and just kept it a secret - she didn't want Wen Shaoyuan to appear in front of anyone as her "parent" again.

She thought she was keeping everything secret, but she didn't expect Wen Shaoyuan to suddenly ask her that night before leaving, "Are you going to tell me about the parent meeting?"

Wen Gechu stared at him blankly, she thought her expression at that time must have been completely stupid.

Wen Shaoyuan didn't go to school after all, he only called Wen Ge's class teacher at noon that day, learned about Wen Ge's school situation and learning situation in detail, and very cooperatively said that he couldn't be there because he couldn't make it back in time.

At that parent meeting, because some students didn't pay enough attention and their attitude was not positive enough, they didn't notify the parents at all, resulting in too few parents attending. The class teacher even used Wen Shaoyuan as an example, and praised Wen Ge severely in front of the whole class.

Of course, Wen Ge was ashamed and almost couldn't lift his head.

After the final exams in the first half of the second year of high school, Wen Ge set off for N city as soon as the break-up ceremony was over.

The airport where Wen Shaoyuan sent her to.

All the way to the security check, he handed her the trolley of the suitcase. Looking at Wen Ge, who had grown a little taller after half a year, he felt emotional for a moment—this girl was raised by him.

Before Wen Ge entered the security check, he remembered something, turned around and saw Wen Shaoyuan still standing where he was, and blinked: "Uncle, after the new year, I'll be done."

Me, uncle.

Xu Liqing had a holiday a few years ago, bought a round-trip ticket to the island in advance, and booked a hotel for the holiday, just waited for Wen Ge's plane to arrive, pick up the person, and wait at the airport for six hours before flying to Island vacation.

Wen Ge saw Xu Liqing with a suitcase at the airport, and heard her talk about her plan, and was completely "surprised". Until she got on the plane to the island, Wen Ge was still in a daze, and was quite a bit surprised by Xu Liqing's sudden swift action. do not adapt.

On the radio, the flight attendant's soft voice sounded, announcing the upcoming destination.

Seeing Wen Ge's rarely confused look, Xu Liqing couldn't help laughing all the way.

When we arrived at the airport, it was just in time for a heavy rain, and it was pouring down. Wen Ge and Xu Liqing didn't stand at the gate of the airport for a long time, their skirts were wet by the rain, and they felt cold.

When the hotel bus drove all the way to the hotel, the rain stopped, and the salty sea breeze blew in. After taking off the heavy and clumsy winter clothes, it was indescribably light, comfortable, warm and comfortable.
