I'm a world apart from you

Chapter 68 Fortunately, I Didn’t Lose You (2)
Xu Liqing saw Wen Shaoyuan behind Wen Ge at a glance, looked at Wen Ge with gentle eyes, and didn't notice her existence, her smile froze immediately.

When I saw the living room lights on when I was downstairs, Wen Ge guessed that Xu Liqing was still asleep, but now I saw her froze smile, and my heart skipped a beat, and I quickly explained: "Mom, uncle came to N City for business, so it's so late It’s not convenient, it’s snowing outside again, and he’s still running a fever, so I decided to bring him home.” After she finished speaking, seeing Xu Liqing’s calm expression, she sighed lightly, bent her head lips, and smiled flatteringly: "Can we have a study room for my uncle for one night?"

Xu Liqing gouged out her eyes and pretended to be calm Wen Ge, who obviously had a guilty conscience, pulled the corner of her lips, and greeted Wen Shaoyuan to enter the door neither coldly nor warmly: "It came so suddenly, otherwise we could have prepared in advance."

Wen Ge looked back at Wen Shaoyuan and blinked, but his hand stretched out without warning, and behind Xu Liqing's invisible back, he quietly held hers.A burst of warmth spread from the fingertips to the heart, Wen Ge shivered, and his face froze unnaturally.

It just so happened that Xu Liqing turned around and took a look at the two people again. Although she didn't notice the small movements of the two people under her nose, but seeing Wen Ge's obviously unnatural appearance, she paid more attention and took the two people to the study room first to set up.

Wen Ge struggled but didn't break free, when he reached the door of the study, he finally got annoyed, and pinched Wen Shaoyuan fiercely with his backhand.

Wen Shaoyuan felt the pain, so he let go of his hand.

Xu Liqing didn't notice their "you come and I go" at all, she simply made the bed, didn't stay any longer, pulled Wen Ge out and whispered a few words before going back to her room.

Wen Ge stood at the door for a while. The lights in the corridor were not turned on, and it was pitch black. She looked back at the half-closed door of the study room, raised her hand and knocked lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't sleep, I'll go Pour you some water."

What responded to her was a very low voice: "En."

Wen Ge went into the kitchen and boiled a pot of hot water, poured it into a thermos, washed a mug, and then brought it into the study.

Wen Shaoyuan's coat had already been taken off, and he was only wearing a slightly thin sweater inside, with his eyes slightly closed, he lay on the pillow.The warm orange light from the floor lamp on one side fell on his face, casting a faint black shadow under the eyelashes.

As if sensing Wen Ge's approach, Wen Shaoyuan opened his eyes, his lazy expression becoming more and more blurred under the light.He sat up with support, bent down, clenched his hands into fists, and coughed a few times.

"It's so late, go back to sleep." He got up and took the thermos and mug that Wen Singer was holding, shaking the medicine box in his hand, "Take the medicine, I'll go to sleep later."

His eyes were astonishingly bright under the light, the light and shadow were fragmented, passing quickly in his eyes, Wen Ge had disappeared without a trace before he could see clearly.

Wen Ge didn't speak, watching him pour the water, the steam was dense, blurring his delicate facial features.

The tempering of time can make a person settle down the most. He is now mature and calm. It seems that nothing can make him frown again. It makes people feel safe and can block all wind and rain.

Seeing her staring at him, Wen Shaoyuan turned his head, and the face was clearly magnified in front of her eyes from the hazy mist: "Still going back to the room?"

Wen Ge nodded, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was a bit cold: "I'll be back now. I'm in the opposite room, if you're not feeling well, knock on the door, I can hear you."

After she finished speaking, she didn't want to stay any longer - Xu Liqing had warned her not to overstep before returning to her room.

Unexpectedly, just as she took a few steps, Wen Shaoyuan came up from behind and hugged her in his arms.Her back was pressed against his chest, and the sweater carried his body temperature and a faint fragrance.

Wen Shaoyuan lowered his head, rubbed his chin against her neck, and deliberately lowered his voice softly and magnetically: "I haven't had time to ask you why you came home alone so late?" His snort hit her sensitive earlobe On the bed, the slight itch made her flinch unconsciously, and she was about to turn her head to look at him, but he hugged him even tighter: "Don't move." Wen Ge paused, and then heard his helpless and low voice. : "I can't help but want to kiss you."

Wen Ge suddenly felt helpless: "Uncle..."

As soon as the two words fell, his hands tightened slightly, and as soon as his hot lips lowered, they fell on the soft spot behind her ears.

Wen Ge was caught off guard by his sudden attack, shrank his neck, a little annoyed: "No kiss."

As if Wen Shaoyuan hadn't heard of it, his lips followed the arc of her chin and kissed her little by little, until finally, he was no longer satisfied with such a superficial touch. kissed his head.

The soft lips touched his, and the warm orange light fell on their bodies. There was a slight warmth, and it seemed that there was a different kind of tenderness in the air.

After finally kissing someone, Wen Shaoyuan felt that his long-turbulent heart gradually calmed down.He backed away a little bit, looked at her softly, let go of the hand that was holding her chin, and pressed his slightly rough thumb on her lips. Seeing her bright red lips, he couldn't help squinting , almost became greedy again.

Thinking about how late it was, he reluctantly let go of her: "Call me tomorrow morning."

Wen Ge's ears were burning, and as soon as he let go, he hurriedly took a few steps back to the door, without daring to look at him again, muttered "Got it", opened the door and went out.

It was almost a figure who fled from the desert, and Wen Shaoyuan's mood that had been depressed for several days finally cleared up.

Wen Ge rushed back to his room and slammed the door behind him, leaning against the door and gasping for breath, and when his breathing became smoother, he scratched his hair fiercely a few times.

When she calmed down, the phrase Yang Qiao said in the evening, "Don't you already have the answer" popped out of her mind.

Wen Ge touched his chest, recalling the violent heartbeat in his chest just now, his face turned red.

The snow did not know when it fell even more heavily, almost covering the entire city of N, covering the sky and the sun, like torn pieces of paper, falling all over the ground one after another.

Xu Liqing went out to buy breakfast, and when she came back her nose was red from the cold, she rubbed her hands together, took a few breaths into her palms, and when she calmed down, she went to the kitchen with her breakfast.

As soon as she put the breakfast plate out, she heard rhythmic but strange footsteps behind her.

She looked back and saw that it was Wen Shaoyuan, the smile that had just been raised immediately disappeared, and she only nodded slightly: "Are you up?"

Wen Shaoyuan hummed, and helped her bring the bowls and chopsticks to the dining table: "Ms. Xu."

Xu Liqing looked up at him.

I don't know if it's because he is still sick, but his face is pale, the fatigue between his brows is obvious, only his facial features are still delicate.At this moment, he was looking at her with bright eyes, with a quiet and gentle look.

Xu Liqing frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Wen Ge's room, smiled faintly, and asked, "Is there something you want to tell me? That's right, I want to talk to you too."

Wen Shaoyuan remained silent, his eyes drooped slightly, and he nodded slightly.

In the early morning of cold winter, the air is so cold that it is almost frozen, and the wind outside the window is biting, and the coldness seems to penetrate into the bones of people, invading in strands and strands.Because of the heating, the house is as warm as spring.Due to the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, a layer of hazy white mist covered the glass windows, completely separating the world of ice and snow outside.

Wen Shaoyuan sat down opposite Xu Liqing, holding a cup of warm tea in his hand, the headache caused by the fever seemed to be relieved a little because of the warmth, he looked down at the clear green tea in the teacup, a little lost in thought.

"I thought it would take another two days for you to have the idea of ​​chatting with me." Xu Liqing glanced at him, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and looked through the transparent tabletop at Wen Ge's two days ago. The small toys bought in the toy store are said to be suitable for "time" to play, so buy them first and put them away.

"Originally, that's true." Wen Shaoyuan pursed his dry lips, and gave a wry smile, "Something happened to the hotel, the assistant will come to pick me up later, if you don't tell me now, I'm afraid you won't forgive me in the future me."

Xu Liqing glanced at him, smiled lightly and said: "I have nothing to forgive you, you brought Wen Ge to me personally. If it was because of that incident four years ago, there is no need, I am not you That stubborn and unreasonable grandfather, I can still consider some things from your point of view."

When she spoke like this, there was no blame or resentment, but her tone was so calm and distant that Wen Shaoyuan didn't know how to deal with it.He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Besides these, I also want to ask for your opinion."

"About Wen Ge?" Xu Liqing laughed suddenly, as if she had expected it and was not surprised.

She turned her head and looked out the window, her eyes were indifferent and peaceful: "I have always respected her choice, if you are really together, I won't have to worry about her for the rest of her life, after all, there are so many people, except you are always by her side , really no one is suitable." After a pause, she continued: "Others can't see your intentions, but I always know. The most difficult time is when you are with her. Many important times in her life , and only you are participating in the experience. I don’t know anyone else who can surpass your position in her heart. We all know that she values ​​feelings. Even if you have never done anything for her, she will be grateful, let alone you."

At the end, Xu Liqing's eyes were slightly moist, she blinked, and lowered her voice to cover up the strangeness: "Don't worry about me, she is willing, and I won't object, but you have to know, her feelings for you are far away. It's deeper than you know, if you can't respond, you should push her away without hesitation like you did four years ago."

"I won't." He promised in a low voice, "I want to be responsible for her life to the end."

The warmth of the fingertips seemed to be cut open, Xu Liqing looked at the man in front of him with almost devout eyes, and finally nodded in agreement.

Wen Shaoyuan smiled at the corner of his lips, and wanted to say something else, when the doorbell rang, his expression changed slightly, he nodded to Xu Liqing, and got up to open the door.

Xu Liqing thought something was wrong at first, there was no reason to ask Wen Shaoyuan to open the door, but when she got up and saw Wen Shaoyuan's assistant standing at the door, she remembered what he said just now "something happened in the hotel".

What is the big deal to make his assistant Da Xuetian come to pick him up?
Xu Liqing was still puzzled, Wen Shaoyuan had already turned back, his eyes still had a gentle smile, except that his face was a bit serious, it was not much different from before: "Mr. Xu, can I go in and see Wen Ge?"

Xu Liqing thought for a while, and after making sure that Wen Ge didn't have the habit of sleeping naked, she nodded.

Wen Ge fell asleep late last night and had a good dream in the morning, hugging the quilt with only one face showing.The face was flushed, the eyes were closed, and the long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the lower part of her lids.The defenseless appearance when sleeping is exactly the same as it was a few years ago.

Wen Shaoyuan stood by the bed and looked at her for a while, but he still couldn't help stretching out his hand. His warm fingers pressed against her forehead, and then moved down along the bridge of her nose, landing on her side face.Slightly straightening her head, he bent down and kissed her on the lips, and then let go gently, without disturbing her at all.

He couldn't bear to wake her up, so he turned around and walked out.

When Wen Ge woke up, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and the dim sunlight came in through the window and fell on her eyelids, which was soft.

She hugged the quilt and sat up, watching the heavy snow outside the window for a long time without any sign of stopping, and then she recovered from the state of emptiness, remembering that Wen Shaoyuan was still sick at home.

After hurriedly brushing her teeth and washing her face, without even putting on her slippers properly, Wen Ge walked to the door of the study.

Xu Liqing's husband had just made the bed and came out. Seeing her recklessly approaching, he turned slightly to make way for her.

The study was completely new, and Wen Shaoyuan was nowhere to be seen.

Only then did Xu Liqing's husband say calmly, "Looking for your uncle? He left early in the morning."

Wen Ge was taken aback for a moment, standing at the door, unable to react for a while: "Leaving?" Or leaving early in the morning?
She frowned, and a feeling of displeasure suddenly surged in her heart: "You didn't even say hello to me."

After mumbling, she realized that Xu Liqing's husband was looking at her thoughtfully.

She lowered her head, and by tying up her long hair with a rubber band, she concealed the disappointment and displeasure on her face, and turned her head back to her room.

Xu Liqing had just bought groceries and came back to prepare for cooking. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Wen Ge wearing a coat and looking like she was about to go out. She turned her head and looked at the gentleman who came out when she heard the noise, and she couldn't help being surprised: "It's almost noon, where are you going? "

Wen Ge lowered his head and put on his shoes, and replied in a muffled voice: "I'm going to cut my hair, it's growing."

Xu Liqing glanced at her long hair, which was cut a little short a few days ago, with suspicion in her eyes: "Why are you bothering with your hair?"

Wen Ge didn't answer, she sat on the floor and looked up at her while putting on her shoes: "Mom, did my uncle say anything when he left?"

"Shaoyuan left in the morning. It seems that something happened to the company, and He Xing came to pick him up. He left in a hurry, and I forgot to ask what happened. You can call later and ask."

Wen Ge hummed, but frowned slightly.

Even if something happened at the hotel, you wouldn't be so anxious that you didn't even say hello, would you?

Xu Liqing didn't see Wen Ge's tangled brows, and walked into the kitchen with the vegetables in his hands, telling her, "Come back quickly after cutting your hair, we're going to eat soon." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but mutter: "Girl, Just one thought a day."

Wen Ge absent-mindedly agreed, looking at the heavy snow blowing outside through the unclosed door, feeling restless for a moment.

Xu Liqing made several calls to remind her before Wen Ge came out of the barber shop.

It was snowing heavily, and she held an umbrella and walked slowly on the stone brick road covered with thick snow.The cold wind seemed to be penetrating into every joint of her body. She shivered from the cold, raised the handle of the umbrella slightly, looked at the drowsy sky that seemed to be covered with mist, thought for a while, took out her mobile phone and called Wen Shaoyuan Telephone.

The car just drove into the urban area of ​​City A. Due to the serious ice and snow disasters in the past few days, there are very few vehicles passing by on the usually congested roads.

Wen Shaoyuan looked out the car window, but his eyes were soft: "Are you awake?"

"I woke up a long time ago." Wen Ge muttered angrily, "What's wrong with the hotel?"

However, Wen Shaoyuan raised the corners of his lips in a good mood, and hummed softly: "Something happened, I'll go there after it's dealt with."

"Who cares that you're here?" Wen Ge raised his toes and kicked the snow, but his lips that had been tightly pressed were slightly loosened, and he smiled involuntarily, "That's nothing, I'll hang up first."

Wen Shaoyuan hummed, and told her not to run around outside in heavy snow, and was afraid that she would be cold if she wore too little clothes, so he asked her again before hanging up the phone.

He Xing glanced at Wen Shaoyuan through the rearview mirror, his always cold face showed a bit of warmth, his brows and eyes were soft, and he was not disturbed by the sudden emergency in the hotel at all, and he appeared to be in a particularly good mood.

He silently retracted his gaze, slightly tightened his jaw, and his brows were almost tied into a knot.

Wen Shaoyuan in the back seat raised the corners of his lips slightly, maintaining this expression all the time, closing his eyes and taking a nap.

Apart from Wen Ge, there is nothing else that can make him lose his balance.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Ge's steps became much lighter. She wrapped her scarf tightly, shook her short "freshly baked" hair, pursed her lips and walked home with a smile.

After dinner, because of the bad weather today and the fact that he had already done all the important things last night, Wen Ge didn't follow him to the store, and stayed at home to tidy up the room.

It was such an ordinary day, but the bad news came quietly and unexpectedly.

Yang Qiao reposted a piece of news on WeChat and sent it to Wen Ge's mobile phone. At that time, Wen Ge was arranging the bookshelves. When he saw that the news came from City A, the anxiety in his heart gradually expanded. The four big characters "Far Hotel" came into view.

At three o'clock in the morning today, a guest room on the fifth floor made several consecutive calls to the front desk, but each call was quickly hung up after the front desk staff picked it up, and then continued to make calls.
