cold war(1/2)
On the afternoon of the Cold War, Wen Lin finished the exam and immediately called Wen Cai: "Sister, I'm relieved!"
Wen Cai heard this and couldn't help but smile: "Did you do well in the exam?"
"I think it's pretty good. Let's wait until the results are out before you can see it." Wen Lin said again, "Sister, you're waiting for me in the hospital, I'll come to see my father right away."
"Don't you go out with your classmates?"
"I don't feel in the mood. I want to accompany my father with you!"
An hour later, Wen Lin arrived at the hospital and told Wen Cai about some interesting things that happened in the exam room. She became a little tired and fell asleep on the sofa in the ward.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Wen Cai ordered takeout and woke Wen Lin up and ate some food together.
Wen Lin just finished the exam and all the pressure was relieved. She had a good appetite and ate very well, but Wen Cai always had no appetite.
Wen Lin finally whispered: "Sister, are you angry with your brother-in-law?"
Wen Cai came back to his senses and smiled faintly: "No."
"Sister, you won't lie at all, all your emotions are written on your face." Wen Lin pouted, "I didn't like Fu Siruo yesterday, it's really too much! Why is my brother-in-law protecting her so much?"
"If Fu Si is his best friend's sister, he will also treat her as his own sister." Wen Cai whispered.
"Then you are still his kissing girlfriend!" Wen Lin bit her lip, "I see that my brother-in-law seems to be closer to that woman. She even knows what dishes she likes to eat. Sister, do you know your preferences?"
Wen Cai shook her head lightly when she heard this: "I don't have any special preferences." After that, she picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put them in her mouth, and smiled at Wen Lin: "Look, I eat everything."
Wen Lin curled her lips: "You are still exonerating him..."
After the two sisters had supper, Wen Cai moved his limbs for Wen Tingyu again. Just as he was about to pack up his things and was about to leave, Wen Lin's phone suddenly rang. She took it out and looked at him, and immediately shouted to Wen Cai: "Sister, it's brother-in-law."
Wen Cai responded lightly, and heard Wen Lin answer the phone, quickly said a few words and then hung up.
"Sister, my brother-in-law said he was waiting for us downstairs, but your phone couldn't be reached."
Wen Cai took out his cell phone and looked at it, only to find that it had run out of power. She sighed softly, feeling tired inexplicably.
If people can also do this like their mobile phones, they can turn off themselves completely and isolate them from the world when they are tired.
After going downstairs, Song Xiyuan was indeed waiting downstairs, still smoking a cigarette as usual.
Wen Lin greeted him and went straight into the rear compartment to sit down. Song Xiyuan wiped out the smoke, reached out to take what Wen Cai was carrying, and habitually rubbed her head: "Get into the car."
Wen Cai was actually still very uncomfortable, but if he had a quarrel at this moment, he would seem pretentious, so he got into the car.
The car was speeding all the way, Wen Cai held his hand on the car window, and was blown by the cool night wind. Just when she felt comfortable, Song Xiyuan suddenly slowly raised the car window on her side.
Wen Cai couldn't force himself to look at him: "I want to have a breath of wind."
"It's cold at night, don't catch a cold." Song Xiyuan freed up a hand and shook her.
Wen Cai had no choice but to lower his seat and look at the neon lights that kept retreating from the street, and gradually fell into drowsiness.
When he got home, Wen Cai was still asleep. Song Xiyuan signaled Wen Lin to go in first. Before he woke Wen Cai up, he sat quietly beside him, put down the car window, and lit a cigarette.
After Wen Lin entered, the lights gradually lit up in the villa, and gentle light was cast on each window on the ground floor, the second floor.
Song Xiyuan remembered that every time he returned at night, he could always see this scene. The brightly lit house is the warmth of home, and occasionally there are steaming food, which is the atmosphere of home.
He turned to look at Wen Cai who was sleeping, and his eyes gradually became a little confused.
After a long time, he held his forehead and looked at the deep blue sky in the distance in silence.
Wen Cai didn't sleep for long, because she couldn't sleep well, and a sudden shock woke her up from her dream.
Song Xiyuan turned around, looked at her sleepy eyes, and smiled slightly: "Awaken?"
Wen Cai's mind was blank at first. When he saw his smile, he felt warm intuition. But the next moment, what happened yesterday came back to his mind. Wen Cai's just smile immediately became a little stiff. He pushed open the car door and was about to get off.
Song Xiyuan locked the car door at once.
Wen Cai looked back at him: "What are you doing?"
Song Xiyuan leaned over slowly, got very close, and carefully observed Wen Cai's face: "Are you angry with me?"
Wen Cai's face froze, and then slowly lowered his head.
"Because Ruoru?" Song Xiyuan continued.
"I don't want to say it." Wen Cai bit his lip slightly, paused for a moment before whispering.
Some things, with his carefulness, cannot be noticed, but if they are spoken from her, they are very likely to become a sin.
"She has been accused of being arrogant since she was a child and has no restraint. Although I think she is a real sister, there are many things that I don't really want to treat her as a real sister to educate her. So, in your eyes, I may be a little indulging in her. But you don't have to be jealous of such things, do you understand?"
"I understand." Wen Cai answered quickly, as if he was just talking.
Song Xiyuan looked at her quietly for a moment, then suddenly smiled faintly, opened the car lock, Wen Cai immediately got out of the car and walked into the room.
Next is the Cold War.
Song Xiyuan seemed to have explained, and Wen Cai seemed to have accepted it, but the two of them were inexplicably trapped in the Cold War.
Especially on the third day, after Wen Lin packed up her things and moved to her grandfather's house, Wen Cai went back to her small apartment every night, and never went back to the villa for several days.
In less than five days, the two of them appeared on the cover of the magazine again. This time, completely different from the past, the magazine published photos of the two, but a crack was pulled out in the photos, accompanied by a big title - Song Wenlian dropped sharply, and he was suspected of breaking up with zero communication!
The article carefully describes Wen Cai’s itinerary these days, almost at 2:00 a.m. every day, running back and forth between the hospital and her small apartment. Song Xiyuan was also photographed going home alone for several consecutive days. For several consecutive days, the lives of the two were completely uninterrupted. They were not as affectionate as before, and they seemed to have really broken up.
On the day the article was published, Wen's stock price dropped sharply again. In the afternoon, Wen Cai received a call from Wen Tingxuan.
"Xiao Cai, did you really break up with Song Xiyuan? You young men and women are always impulsive and do things regardless of consequences. Even if there is really a discord, how can you let the reporter catch a handle at this moment? Girls should not be too stubborn and obedient. Go down with Song Xiyuan. What can't be solved? He likes you so much, but can't follow your wishes?"
Do you like her so much? Wen Cai clamped the phone, but couldn't even say a word.
Why did she always feel that he is getting further and further away from him?
"Song Xiyuan is not young anymore. I think it's time to start a family and establish a house. I'll get angry with Song Qi Wan and see what he means."
Wen Cai realized after a long time that Song Qiwan was Song Xiyuan's father. Before he could speak, Wen Tingxuan had already continued: "Listen to my uncle, I will go back to find Song Xiyuan today. Don't do anything to hurt everyone's feelings for a moment."
Wen Caimu responded vaguely, and did not continue to say anything, and hung up the phone.
She was unobedient and did not look back to find him, but Wen Cai did not expect that someone who was completely unexpected found her.
That afternoon, when Wen Cai was still carefully moving his limbs for Wen Tingyu, a noble lady holding flowers suddenly appeared at the door of the open ward. Yingying stood at the door and knocked on the door.
Wen Cai raised her head and looked at the graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman, and suddenly became stunned - Mrs. Song!
She still remembered having a meeting with Mrs. Song, which was when she was having an accident when she invited Su Tingyue to dinner in the previous company. At that time, she actually ridiculously thought that Mrs. Song was Song Xiyuan's "guest"! Thinking of it now, a hint of embarrassment rose on Wen Cai's face and looked at Mrs. Song: "Hello, Mrs. Song."
Wen Xin smiled and nodded, and walked in: "You are Wen Cai, right? I'll come and see your father."
Wen Cai took the flower from her hand and nodded: "Mrs. Song has trouble, but my father's current situation is not enough to thank Mrs. Song in person."
"It's okay, you don't have to be so arrogant. Just call me aunt." Wen Xin smiled kindly at her.
Wen Cai put down the flowers and hurriedly poured water for her: "Auntie, you drink water."
"Be good." Wen Xin nodded and smiled, and said, "I just saw you help your father move his limbs? Why don't the caregiver do these things?"
"I used to be a nursing worker, but then I learned to do it when I have nothing to do. Now I am used to it." Wen Cai smiled.
Wen Xin nodded before speaking again: "He is a good boy. If you have time, let Xi Yuan take you home for a meal and show it to his father."
Wen Cai was stunned. In the past, she and Song Xiyuan were in harmony. She had never heard of Song Qiwan and Mrs. Song at all. Now, she had a with Song Xiyuan. Mrs. Song actually proposed to ask Song Xiyuan to take her home?
Wen Cai couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Mrs. Song, I and him--"
"You forgot again, call me aunt." Wen Xin smiled and took a sip of water, saying, "Xi Yuan and I never like to read gossip magazines. If there is anything, we are used to asking clearly in person, rather than understanding it through magazines compiled by outsiders. Do you understand?"
Wen Cai was stunned, and then realized that he was thinking too much, so he nodded: "I understand, I'll come to visit my uncle and aunt."
"Okay." Wen Xin smiled and then stood up, "Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore and say goodbye."
Wen Cai sent her downstairs all the way, but unexpectedly, a large group of reporters had been waiting at the door. When they saw the two of them coming out together, they immediately came forward and slapped her, asking questions in a slight manner.
"Miss Wen, there are rumors that you and Mr. Song have broken up. Is it true?"
"Ms. Song came to see Miss Wen this time, I wonder what it was for?"
"Mrs. Song, what do you think about Mr. Song and Miss Wen are together? Are you satisfied with Miss Wen's daughter-in-law?"
"Is Mrs. Song coming this time to keep Miss Wen?"
...
Wen Cai felt that he was about to collapse after a lot of questions, but Wen Xin still smiled gently and said calmly: "In a few days, I think there should be a clear answer for everyone. Don't be impatient and wait for a few days."
After saying that, she turned around and looked at Wen Cai again, and smiled slightly: "Goodbye."
"Auntie, please go." Wen Cai watched her get in the car. The car drove away from the hospital under the pursuit of the reporters. Then he avoided the group of reporters who were still pestering him and hurried upstairs.
Unexpectedly, the next day, rumors spread in newspapers and magazines that Wen Cai met his parents and suspected that he was having a good relationship with Song Xiyuan. Wen Cai really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
************************
Two more days later, Wen Lin came to the hospital to accompany Wen Tingyu. Wen Cai finally had a day off. It happened to be the weekend, so he found Wan Li.
Recently, newspapers and magazines have been filled with news about Wen Cai. Wan Li naturally knew that she was upset, so she never looked for her. It was rare that Wen Cai took the initiative to make an appointment and appeared immediately.
The two sat in a water bar that they used to come to. Each of them asked for a portion of ice, and they were as satisfied as they used to be, and they narrowed their eyes and smiled.
But after laughing, I still have to ask what I should ask.
