Chapter 21

Song Wenran said: "I also have an irresponsible father."

Bai Chong looked at him quietly, thinking that he wanted to talk about his past, but Song Wenran didn't continue.He was in a bad mood, and he didn't know if it was because he recalled those bad pasts, or simply because he felt that Bai Chong was not a responsible enough father.

However, he couldn't come up with any better suggestions on how to deal with Bai Ziqi.For no reason, he remembered that when he was in the army, an old instructor once told him that some people are really bad when they are bad, and the nature in their bones cannot be recovered no matter what.

Song Wenran felt that he had never met such a person, and he also hoped that Bai Ziqi would not become such a person.Perhaps, as Bai Chong wished, in a pure environment, life will gradually get on the right track.

Seeing Song Wenran say something, Bai Chong stopped talking, so he said, "It's too late, go to bed."

There was no ready-made quilt on the bed in the room, so Bai Chong opened the wardrobe door, took out a quilt, and spread it out on the bed.

"Do you want to take a bath?" Bai Chong asked Song Wenran.

Song Wenran thought about it.

Bai Chong quickly said: "Then go to sleep when it's late, and wash tomorrow morning."

Song Wenran said, "Okay."

Bai Chong walked out of the room, and when standing at the door, he said to Song Wenran, "I'm right next door, call me if you need anything."

Song Wenran looked at him and said, "Good night, Mr. Bai."

Bai Chong responded with a smile: "Good night." After speaking, he backed out and closed the door gently.

Song Wenran lay down alone in the empty room. He closed his eyes and told himself not to think about anything until he gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Song Wenran woke up very early. After getting up, he went to take a shower and came out of the bathroom. Seeing that Bai Chong's room door was still closed, he went downstairs alone.

The nanny of the Bai family was already busy. Seeing Song Wenran, she was very enthusiastic, "Xiao Song, good morning. What do you want for breakfast?"

Song Wenran walked into the kitchen and said, "I'll eat whatever Mr. Bai eats."

The nanny said: "He likes to drink plain porridge. You are a young man, and I am afraid that you will not get used to it."

Song Wenran saw that he couldn't help much, so he retreated to the door and said, "Anything is fine, I'm not picky."

The nanny turned around and saw him, and said, "You go and sit, you go and sit."

Song Wenran left the kitchen, went to the living room, picked up his coat hanging by the door, and took out the gift he bought for Bai Chong yesterday from his pocket.He felt that this gift might not be given out.

"What are you looking at?" Bai Chong's voice suddenly came from behind.

Song Wenran turned around in astonishment, and found that Bai Chong had gone downstairs at some point, and was walking towards Song Wenran while buttoning his cuffs.

Song Wenran immediately tried to put the small box back into his coat pocket, but the more impatient he was, the more he made a mistake. The small box fell from his hand, rolled twice on the ground and landed at Bai Chong's feet.

Bai Chong bent down to pick up the box, and seeing Song Wenran's hesitation to speak, he opened it and looked at it.

"What is it?" Bai Chong looked at the pair of snowflakes inside and asked, "Earrings?"

"No, it's cufflinks." Seeing that the matter had come to this point, Song Wenran said directly, "I bought you a Christmas present yesterday."

Hearing this, Bai Chong's eyes shifted from the small box to Song Wenran's face, and he stared at Song Wenran for a while without speaking.

Song Wenran was stared at by him, and suddenly couldn't restrain his ears from turning red, and said, "It's not worth much, it's just a little care."

Bai Chong closed the box, held it in his hand and said to Song Wenran, "Thank you."

"Ding dong! Ding dong!" Wen Wenyao was woken up by the doorbell the next morning. He grabbed the quilt and covered his head to continue sleeping, but he pulled the gauze on top of his head. Suddenly, the wound hurt and he woke up half.

Wen Wenyao got up from the bed, wrapped his nightgown and went out to open the door with a dark face, and saw Bai Yangyu standing at the door with breakfast again.

Before Wen Wenyao had an attack, Bai Yangyu said: "Teacher, go on to sleep, and I'll make you hot breakfast when you sleep enough."

The other party's attitude was too sincere, Wen Wenyao held back his anger, he didn't slam the door hard, but left Bai Yangyu alone, went back to his room, lay down and continued to sleep.

After falling asleep again, Wen Wenyao felt throbbing pain from the sutured wound on his scalp, and his drowsiness became more and more faint.He heard Bai Yangyu go to the kitchen, turn on the faucet to turn on the water for a while, and walk around making noise everywhere outside, so he shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

Bai Yangyu replied loudly: "Teacher, let me clean up the house for you."

Wen Wenyao opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling silently for a while, then closed his eyes again, thinking: let him go.

Bai Yangyu seemed to be in a cheerful mood, sweeping and mopping the floor, humming a couple of songs from time to time.

Wen Wenyao lay on the bed with his eyes closed and did not fall asleep. Hearing Bai Yangyu's movements outside, he felt like a fool.

After tidying up the floor, Bai Yangyu cleaned up the magazines, water cups, and medicine bottles that Wen Wenyao had left on the tea table and sofa.When he was packing up the medicine bottles, he squatted in front of the TV cabinet, opened the leftmost drawer, and found a photo frame inside.

Bai Yangyu took out the photo frame, and saw a photo of Wen Wenyao and a woman inside.

At this time Wen Wenyao really couldn't sleep, got up from the bed and wanted to go to the bathroom, when he passed the living room and saw Bai Yangyu looking at his photo, he said, "What are you rummaging about? Put the things back for me."

"Teacher," Bai Yangyu held up the photo, "Who is this woman?"

Wen Wenyao stared at the photo, the expression on his face did not change at all, he said: "Ex-girlfriend, we broke up."

Bai Yangyu looked at the woman in the photo again, and asked, "Then where is she now?"

Wen Wenyao said impatiently: "None of your business! I told you to put it back! Don't you understand?"

Bai Yangyu put the photo back silently, closed this drawer, opened the next drawer and started to tidy up the medicine box.

When Wen Wenyao was eating breakfast, seeing Bai Yangyu was still wiping the dust off the TV cabinet, he took a bite of the deep-fried dough stick and said, "She has gone abroad to study, and we have been separated for many years, but we haven't contacted each other."

Bai Yangyu stopped what he was doing, looked at Wen Wenyao, and said, "En!"

After breakfast, Wen Wenyao asked Bai Yangyu, "No class today?"

Bai Yangyu said, "No."

Wen Wenyao stared at him suspiciously: "Then how is the progress of your experiment?"

Bai Yangyu replied, "I plan to go to the laboratory in the afternoon."

"Don't leave the afternoon," Wen Wenyao said, "Go now."

Bai Yangyu seemed a little hesitant, "Then what about your lunch?"

Wen Wenyao said: "I want you to take care of it! Get out of the house right away!"

Bai Yangyu put the dishcloth in his hand back into the bathroom, then walked towards the door and said: "Then I'm leaving, call me if you need anything."

Wen Wenyao raised a hand and shook it, "Goodbye."

At noon that day, Wen Wenyao received a call from Wen Wenhao. On the phone, Wen Wenhao asked him anxiously: "Brother, are you injured?"

Wen Wenyao was eating the chicken soup and rice delivered by the takeaway. He bit the spoon and replied vaguely: "Yes."

"Are you okay?" Wen Wenhao's tone sounded really worried, "Do you want me to come and see you?"

Wen Wenyao put the spoon on the edge of the bowl, "It's okay, you are busy with your work."

"Then are you resting at home now?" Wen Wenhao asked him again.

Wen Wenyao thought that Wen Wenhao was planning to visit him, so he said, "I'm resting at home, but there's only a scar on my head, no bones or brain, so don't bother."

As a result, on the other side of the phone, Wen Wenhao said hesitantly: "Then I won't come to see you for the time being, I wonder if you are free this afternoon?"

"What's the matter?" Wen Wenyao had a bad feeling.

Wen Wenhao said: "If you are free, you can help me pick up Wen Qian, and the second brother will go to your side to pick her up later."

Wen Wenyao replied fiercely: "No! I still have a scar on my head! You called me to arrange something?"

"I'm really inconvenient tonight..." Wen Wenhao said in a low voice.

After vehemently refusing, Wen Wenyao didn't hang up the phone, he asked, "What time does school end?"

Wen Wenhao was stunned for a moment, realized Wen Wenyao's meaning, and said happily: "Five o'clock! Brother, I know you have always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted. When I finish my work recently, I will bring something to see you. Take care of yourself!"

Wen Wenyao said impatiently: "It's all nonsense!" He hung up Wen Wenhao's call directly.

At around 04:30 that afternoon, Wen Wenyao put on his coat and went out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Bai Yangyu standing at the door of his house, raising his hand to knock on the door.

"Why did you come back so early?" Wen Wenyao asked him.

Bai Yangyu said: "Today's plan is completed. Where are you going, teacher?"

Wen Wenyao came out and closed the door, "Go out for a while."

Bai Yangyu quickly followed him, "Teacher, I will go with you."

Wen Wenyao glanced at him, "Are you a dog skin plaster?"

Bai Yangyu nodded seriously, "Maybe."

Wen Wenyao didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he walked over and pressed the elevator, "Come if you want."

The two of them drove the car and went to Wen Wenqian's kindergarten to pick her up from school.

Wen Wenqian hadn't seen Wen Wenyao for a long time, she was a little nervous when she saw her eldest brother, and she didn't say a word after getting in the car.But to Bai Yangyu, her attitude seemed to be more affectionate, and she greeted Bai Yangyu: "Brother Bai."

Bai Yangyu turned around and reached out to touch the top of her head.

The author has something to say: Regarding the difference between Bai Yangyu and Bai Chong, one is the age of daring to love and hate, and if you like it, you have to let it go and chase after it; the other is the age of maturity and stability, and you need to think carefully about the consequences of everything

At Bai Chong's age, even if he fell in love with a woman, he would not necessarily give up and chase after him, let alone a man, so there will always be a process

Of course, the longer you suppress it, the more intense it will be once you release it... right?
