If you hadn't come, how old would you make me

Chapter 34

Finally, it was the holiday again, and everyone else was easily packing their bags to go home, but Wen Ran was unexpectedly nervous, and was absent-minded when packing up.

Lin Sheng asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Wen Ran shook her head and continued to pack her things.I still remember talking to Lin Sheng about her boyfriend once by chance, Lin Sheng casually said while applying nail polish to his toenails: "Oh, the first time I met Mrs. Xu, that is, when my ex-boyfriend's mother , She raised her chin to me, tried her best not to slap me, and at the same time said something noble, guess what it is?"

Wen Ran held the lunch box curiously: "I can't guess, what is it?"

Lin Sheng smiled: "She said." Straightening her body, she began to imitate Mrs. Xu, "Miss Lin, our treasure is not for you to spoil." After speaking, Lin Sheng let out a sigh of relief, "At that time, I really wanted to slap him, but I held back."

It can be seen that this is not a good memory for her.So, how could Wen Ran tell her again that she was going to see Ye Yizhen's father.Not a mother but a father, don't know what will happen.

On this day, there was a heavy rain in City B that had not been seen for a long time, and the sweltering weather finally felt a bit cool.Wen Ran wore a long-sleeved jacket, and it was already more than half wet when he got in the car.

Ye Yizhen frowned slightly: "Why don't you open an umbrella?" He said and handed over a clean towel.

Wen Ran groaned, wiped her bangs carefully with a towel, then put down the towel, and sighed.This frowning look made Ye Yizhen slightly bend the corners of her lips, and stretched out her hand to smooth her messy hair, "What's wrong? Nervous?"

Wen Ran admitted honestly: "A little bit."

Not a little, I'm afraid it's a lot.Ye Yizhen sighed in his heart, at first he wanted and was willing to give her some time to accept it, but now Mr. Ye has called several times to remind her, if it doesn't go, I'm afraid it won't be good.Ye Yizhen smirked slightly, knowing that no matter how small a matter is with the old general, it can become a big one.

When the car drove to the foot of Jingshan Mountain, Ye Yizhen tilted his head slightly: "Don't worry, the old man is very kind to the younger generation, except for me."

This sentence made Wen Ran rub his face again, except for him?Isn't that unkind?Teacher Ye is so knowledgeable, don’t you know there is an idiom called "Love the house and the bird"?

"I'm still a little scared."

Ye Yizhen parked the car and smiled: "Do you still remember that I accompanied you to meet your mother during the winter vacation?" Seeing Wen Ran nodding, he continued, "Actually, I was also nervous at that time, no less than you are now. But fortunately, I have a recipe."

Wen Ran looked at him with wide eyes, only to see him move, and leaned over to give her a hug: "That's it." He smiled and said, "We are well prepared, so you don't have to worry, the only thing that needs to be done now is All you have to do is—face it, okay?"

Under his serious gaze, Wen Ran nodded.

The scenery of Jingshan is really beautiful, and it goes without saying that Ye Zhai framed most of the beautiful scenery of Jingshan.Wen Ran admired a few words from the bottom of her heart, followed Ye Yizhen out of the car.Another jeep was parked in the parking lot outside Ye's house. Ye Yuntong also just came back from the art troupe. He just got out of the car at this moment. He was wearing a military uniform, and the epaulettes with two bars and four were particularly conspicuous.

After seeing them, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "Why are you doing so well recently? The frequency of going home is discussed on a weekly basis." Then he looked at Wen Ran and said with a smile, "Hi, we meet again. "

Wen Ran smiled at her, with a nervous expression, and couldn't help but think of her embarrassing behavior when she first met Ye Yuntong.

But Ye Yuntong didn't mention it, patted her on the shoulder, and led them inside.

Looking at the rain curtain outside the window in the lobby of Ye's house is very interesting, but Wen Ran can't feel this kind of feeling.

When he entered the door, Mr. Ye was thinking with a red envelope in his hand. When he saw the two people entering the door, their confused expressions had not been put away. Ye Yizhen couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hearing his son's voice, the old man regained his composure in an instant, leaned on a cane to sit firmly, and put the envelope on the table, "Huining came over just now."

"Oh?" Ye Yizhen squinted his eyes. If Gu San doesn't do something to irritate his father, he won't live in peace for a day?After a pause, he said, "Then what is it in your hand?"

The old man snorted: "Invitation letter for the wedding." Then he tapped on the crutch again, "Look, they even booked the wedding date!"

Seeing that the old man was about to go online again, he turned around with a smile, gently put his arms around Wen Ran's shoulders, and said gently, "Here is the one who will not satisfy your greed."

Grandpa Ye opened his eyes and looked at Wen Ran for the first time this time. With just one glance, Wen Ran immediately had the feeling of seeing his grandfather, his body trembled inadvertently, and the hands around her shoulders tightened. When she raised her head, she heard Ye Yizhen say : "Wen Ran, this is my father."

Wen Ran bowed seriously to Ye Zan: "Hi, I'm Wen Ran."

Mr. Ye hummed, picked up his crutches and walked upstairs. Ye Yizhen stared at his father's back, and when he was about to think about the deep meaning of Mr. Ye's move, Mr. Ye turned around, tapped the steps of the stairs, and said: Zhen is downstairs first, and Wen Ran comes to the study on the second floor." Then he turned and left without giving Professor Ye a chance to speak.

Ye couldn't help stroking her forehead, and looked at Wen Ran with gentle eyes, a little worried, but Wen Ran blinked her eyes unexpectedly, his sly look surprised him a little.

He couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter?"

Wen Ran stuck out her tongue and said, "I just, suddenly feel that this scene is a bit familiar." After speaking, she hastily added, "Every time I go back to Wen's house, I see my grandfather like this, very experienced."

He froze, "Don't mention your grandpa to the old man yet."

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, as if asking, but he just smoothed her smooth hair and said, "Good boy, just do as I say."

When Wen Ran entered, she was first taken aback by the room full of books.She subconsciously thought of Grandpa's study room, full of antiques, rare and exotic items, luxurious and elegant, but only lacked the bookish atmosphere.Seeing this, Wen Ran couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Mr. Ye raised his eyes and looked at her, then lowered his voice: "Like books?"

"I like it." Wen Ran replied earnestly, his eyes lingering on the bookshelves, "My father is a half-scholar, he said that it is always good for young people to read more books."

When she mentioned her father, she unexpectedly calmed down.

Mr. Ye took a sip of hot tea and smiled kindly: "Your father is right. Young people should read more books. Otherwise, if you have this empty skin, it will be useless wherever you take it. It will be broken if you poke it."

Wen Ran nodded slightly, and suddenly understood the difference between Grandpa and Mr. Ye: Mr. Ye, you should be more gentle.

"How long have you been together?"

Wen Ran was also prepared for the usual question, and answered honestly: "Half a year."

Ye Lao frowned when he heard the words, did he bring someone he had known for half a year back home like this? !It's not like his son's style.

"I heard from Yuntong that you are his student?"

Wen Ran nodded, raised her head slightly, and said seriously: "Yes, Teacher Ye is our tutor."

Ye Lao nodded, noncommittal, and just said another sentence: "You still call him teacher." Wen Ran once heard this sentence from Ms. Qi, but Ms. Qi's tone was questioning. But when it came to Ye Lao, he was so determined.

Wen Ran suddenly felt a little restless, hesitantly said "I", and was pressed down by Mr. Ye, still smiling gently, but in her eyes, she looked a little distant: "I know." Then asked, "How old are you this year?"

"21 is old."

"Oh." Mr. Ye nodded, "Yizhen will be 29 soon."

Wen Ran immediately felt the difference between Grandpa and Mr. Ye again. Although Grandpa spoke little, he never ambiguously, unlike Mr. Ye who left half of what he said and needed her to guess the meaning.

After thinking about it, Wen Ran pursed her lips and smiled, and said seriously: "Eight years old is indeed a long distance."

Grandpa Ye looked at her with puzzled eyes.

"However, someone once told me that there is always one person, whether it is time or space distance, who is an exception to me."

The old man smiled lightly and stroked his beard: "Is he an exception?"

Wen Ran nodded slightly, "He can easily make me feel warm, this feeling is very precious..."

After finishing speaking, there was another silence.After a long time, Mr. Ye shook his head lightly: "Little girl." That is, these four words, too many, Ye Zan refused to say any more.

On the way back, Wen Ran sat in the passenger seat in a daze.It was evening now, and the sky was covered with a thick layer of Huoshaoyun, and the sun was shining brightly.When Wen Ran was in the Jingshan garrison area by the roadside, he accidentally saw two groups of soldiers from the battalion standing in front of a building singing loudly, and he couldn't help being very curious.

Ye Yizhen explained to the curious boy Wen Ran: "Before dinner in the army, there is always singing to boost morale."

"Wouldn't it be that I'm going to be even more hungry, and there's no morale left to sing." Wen Ran turned her head.

Ye Yizhen smiled lightly: "Soldiers are always more resistant than ordinary people." He asked softly, "How did you talk with the old man?"

Wen Ran suddenly looked like a balloon that had been punctured: "It seems that it's not very good."

"Huh?" He tilted his head slightly, "How do you say?"

Wen Ran sighed: "I don't think it's easy to be liked by the old people." She raised her head in distress, "What should I do?"

Ye Yizhen smiled while inspecting the road conditions, the street lamp outside the window leaked light, reflecting his pair of black eyes shining particularly brightly: "It's okay."

"Well?"

"As long as I like it."

Hearing this, Little Wen blushed again as expected.

As soon as the second year of graduate school started, Wen Ran became very busy.The leadership team of the college counted the employment rate of the previous graduates, and then issued a heavy warning to their current students during the meeting: the employment rate of the Department of Economics of Q University was lower than 90% for the first time. The statistic is still watery, because it includes the number of graduate students and Ph.D. students.

After the meeting, Wen Ran put the book on his head and went to the library to review.As a professor, Ye Yizhen is of course happy to see this kind of situation, but as a man, it's hard to say.

After returning from a meeting in T city, as soon as he stepped into the office, he saw Wen Ran lying on his desk in a daze, tapping his fingers on the table little by little, without any reaction to the movement from him.Frowning slightly, he took off his coat and walked towards her lightly.

When I got closer, I realized what she was doing.He pinched the half-finished resume spread out on the table with his fingers, and shook his head: "Student, most companies like this resume will choose to throw it into the trash can."

Hearing this voice, Wen Ran was startled suddenly, and after seeing those smiling eyes clearly, he shrank back listlessly: "Ms. Ye, you are back."

The professor was obviously dissatisfied with this way of welcome, and raised his hand to lift her chin, intending to say a few words, but Miss Wen's dark circles comparable to American treasures really surprised him, so he couldn't help asking: "How can I go so far?" What have you been doing for a few days?"

Wen Ran whimpered, and ravaged her face with her paws: "I want to find an internship, but I found that my time has been filled up by schoolwork and qualification exams." She raised her head in distress, "What should I do?"

Professor Ye naturally didn't want her time to be so tight, but his face remained calm: "Then let it go for now."

"Yeah." Wen Ran nodded.

After eating a meal, the listless Miss Wen finally came back to life.Biting his spoon, he complained to the man sitting across from him: "Supposedly our academic qualifications in Q University are considered excellent, why do I submit so many resumes online and get so few replies, and most of them are companies I don't want to work for. "

Professor Ye raised his eyes and said gently, "So eager to find a job?"

"Of course." Wen Ran said hastily, "If I start making money, my mother will feel better."

How could he object for such a reason?Ye Yizhen smiled lightly, and said three words: "Good boy."

Wen Ran blushed immediately, and wanted to stare at him, but when her eyes swept over somewhere, she paused.She saw a person, and that person seemed to have seen her too, was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and walked towards her.

Wen Ran suddenly felt something was wrong, who is that person, Zhao Weichuan!

"What's the matter?" Sensing that something was wrong with Wen Ran, Ye Yizhen raised his head slightly, turned his gaze, and naturally saw the person coming, and tightened his fingers slightly.

"Hello, Wen Ran." Zhao Weichuan smiled slightly, then looked at Ye Yizhen, and shouted out two words that made the two people present couldn't help but break their kung fu: "Uncle Ye."

This name made Wen Randeng's eyes widen immediately, and he looked at the two of them in disbelief.Ye Yizhen raised his eyes slightly, and his sharp gaze wandered over Zhao Weichuan's face, noticing his slight intention, his beautiful eyes flickered, and he hummed calmly: "Come here for dinner?"

"En." Zhao Weichuan responded, he didn't wear military uniform, he only wore casual clothes, so he didn't look so conspicuous.He looked at Wen Ran with a gentle expression: "Wen Ran, when will you come to my house for a sit-down, the old man is still nagging these days?"

Seeing that both of them were staring at her, Wen Ran bit the spoon again and said, "Go when you are free."

Zhao Weichuan smiled: "Then I won't bother you when you eat, there is still a dinner upstairs."

Ye Yizhen looked at his back and smiled slightly.this kid.

"Ms. Ye." Wen Ran, who took a few mouthfuls of porridge, couldn't help but put down the spoon.

"Say." He knew she was going to ask.

"Do you know?"

"Yeah." Ye Yizhen wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue, "Your grandfather, General Wen Ke, and my father once served in the same army. Zhao Weichuan's father was their common subordinate, and I am of the same generation as his father." It's just that there is a big difference in age. .

Wen Ran nodded, then lowered her head obediently and went to eat.Just after Professor Ye thought she understood, a certain girl said "Huh?" again.

He looked up and saw her eyes wide open, a little excited: "Then I'm a generation taller than Zhao Weichuan now?"

Ye Yizhen: "..."
