Chapter 64 Don't forget to call me during the long holiday!

Do you hate them? How much do you hate them?

“I hate it, but I can’t really bring myself to be ruthless. I’m exhausted after all this time.” Wen Han lowered her head. “I know they’re waiting too, waiting for me to stop causing trouble.”

After all, they were family, and they had shared happy times together when they were children. Jingyu wiped away his tears: "Besides your family, is there anyone you can hate more decisively?"

Wen Han frowned slightly, as if thinking of something: "Yes, Wen Ruan's grandparents, but they moved to the countryside and don't live with me anymore."

"Isn't a long holiday coming up soon? The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are combined, giving us a full ten days off." Jing Yu smiled gently, then continued, "Are you going to their place, or staying with me?"

Being with Jingyu was certainly relaxing, but the Mid-Autumn Festival was a time for families to gather, and Jingyu definitely needed to spend the festival with his family. Wen Han shook her head: "No, I'm going to Wenruan's grandparents' house."

Jing Yu turned his head away, and Wen Han thought he was upset because he had rejected his kindness. She quickly leaned over to look, but he turned his head back and smiled, "Then don't forget to call me."

"Remember to have fun."

*

Before the long holiday, Wen Han spent a period of great depression. Every night when he got home, he would lie on the bed and not move at all, not even able to lift a finger. Fei Nai'er took care of all the chores around the house, leaving him in a completely blank state.

"Wen Han, your cat is blocking the bathroom door and won't leave!"

Wen Han heard it, but he was too lazy to even reply.

Wen Ruo ran to his room, frowning, "Hey, your cat is sitting there, and no one can take a shower."

Wen Han closed her eyes: "Go to the kitchen and splash some cold water on yourself."

"What? You're not going to take a shower?"

"Wen Ruo, come here!" Wen Qingke waved to her, not caring whether Wen Ruo could see him or not. "Dad has boiled the water. You can take a bath with a towel."

Wen Ruo wanted Wen Han to call Fei Nai'er back to her room, but Wen Han remained unmoved, so she had no choice but to squat in the living room and soak a towel.

While Wen Ruo was still complaining, Wen Ruan finished wiping himself down in the kitchen. He had been in a good mood these past few days because Wen Han looked very tired, and the family had enjoyed three or four peaceful days, which was unprecedented.

After Wen Ruo had wiped half of it with a towel, Wen Han finally got up, took her pajamas and towel and headed to the bathroom. Fei Nai'er meowed and moved aside, then sat motionless by the door.

Wen Ruo: "..."

Seeing Wen Han like this, Wen Qingke subconsciously suspected that Wen Han might be sick and planned to take him to the clinic during the holiday. However, when the holiday came, Wen Han suddenly changed his behavior and started making loud noises in his room when he got home, doing something that was unclear.

Wen Ruo snorted coldly: "Looks like you've been studying too much. You'll be more energetic when the holidays start."

Wen Han pushed open the door. Although it was already 10:30 p.m., he couldn't wait a moment longer.

"Hanhan, why are you carrying a suitcase?"

"Go on vacation."

"But tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival! Dad has already bought the fruit and mooncakes. Don't you like pomegranates? And where are you going on vacation?"

“You can eat pomegranates anywhere.” Wen Han had already put on her shoes and picked up Fei Nai’er, who didn’t like being put in the cat carrier.

"I'm going to visit my relatives."

Wen Qingke asked in bewilderment, "Which relative? Isn't it inappropriate to visit their home during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"I'm going there precisely to make things difficult for them." Wen Han didn't intend to hide it: "To Wen Ruan's grandparents' house."

"What?" Wen Ruan exclaimed in alarm. "Wen Han, what are you doing there?"

"Vacation." Wen Han picked up his suitcase and went downstairs. Wen Qingke tried to stop him but was scared away by Fei Nai'er's claw.

"No, I have to go with them." Wen Ruan had clothes at his grandparents' house, so he didn't pack any clothes and went straight there.

"Wen Han!" Wen Ruan was surprised that Wen Han could walk so fast while pushing a suitcase and holding a big fat cat in her arms. She almost couldn't catch up.

Wen Han had already hailed a car, and the driver, upon hearing that she was going to the countryside, immediately asked for fifty yuan. Wen Han thought for a moment and then agreed, since she would likely be driving empty on the return trip.

Wen Ruan wanted to sit down too, but Wen Han slammed the door shut.

Wen Han was finally able to say those words with a triumphant air: "You want to take a taxi even though you don't have money? What, you want to ride for free? Driver, hurry up, someone here is trying to freeload."

Wen Ruan: "......"

——

Wenhao was clamoring for a banana when his grandmother stopped him: "Oh dear, no, this is for offering sacrifices to the moon tomorrow night. Here, Haohao, have some chocolate."

Grandpa Wen was watching TV: "It's so late, let Hao Hao go to bed early."

"Anyway, I don't have to go to school tomorrow morning, so what's the big deal?"

Wenhao responded, "That's right, that's right."

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and the dog in the cage immediately started barking loudly. Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen looked at each other, wondering, "Who could it be so late?"

When Fei Nai heard a dog barking, her fur stood on end. Wen Han could only gently pat her twice and say with a double meaning, "It's okay. If it's not a good dog, you can just hit it."

Wenhao was engrossed in playing a game when he suddenly heard his grandmother scream, causing him to lose the game.

"Grandma, what are you shouting for!" Wenhao jumped up, only to see that the person standing at the door also cried out in alarm.

"Wen Han, what are you doing here!" Grandma Wen clutched her chest. "We've already moved to the countryside, and you still won't leave our family alone?"

"Why are you saying such harsh things?" Wen Han raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm here on vacation."

"What's so fun about the countryside? You should go back home!"

Grandma Wen wanted to make another move, but Fei Nai'er let out a fierce meow, and she immediately stepped aside.

Wen Han carried her suitcase through the door. Ever since Wen Ruan's grandparents and Wen Hao sheepishly moved to the countryside, Wen Han hadn't come over on her own initiative. Unexpectedly, the old folks lived in a two-story villa in the countryside. The house was specially decorated, the TV was several times the size of theirs, and the table was covered with Wen Hao's favorite snacks. It seemed they were living a very comfortable life.

Wen Hao, sitting on the sofa, glared at Wen Han with hostility.

The biggest mistake Wenruan's mother made was giving her kidney to her youngest son, sacrificing her own life and leaving behind something that would wreak havoc on the world.

"You bullied my brother, and you dare to come any closer!"

Wen Han looked around and sneered, "If you care so much about your brother, why don't you switch places with him? Let him come over, and you can come to my house, how about that?"

Wen Hao said he felt sorry for Wen Ruan, but when it came to actually making him suffer, he would act completely differently. He pursed his lips, having learned his lesson this time. He didn't dare to provoke Wen Han directly, but instead went and let the dog out: "Quick, bite him!"

The dog was large and strong, looking very fierce; it was clearly a dog bought specifically to guard the house. But who was Fei Nai'er? A super fierce cat who could shred half a doghouse with one swipe of her paw. It just nestled in Wen Han's arms and howled once, and the dog started trembling on the spot. By the time Fei Nai'er rushed over, the dog hurriedly tucked its tail between its legs and ran far away. Even so, half of its tail fur was still shaved off.

"Let me tell you, my cat isn't as good-tempered as I am. You'd better watch out, or it won't be my problem if your precious A-Sun gets scratched."

Grandpa and Grandma Wen huddled in the corner, trembling. Wen Han sat down on the sofa, which was genuine leather. He wasn't interested in games, so he started watching movies.

He used the wrong approach before. Shouting and yelling only made him seem immature to others, and he ended up exhausted. Now it's much more convenient. With a cat, he can talk much more easily.

Grandma Wen ran outside to call Wen Qingke, but Wen Qingke's phone was charging and no one answered. Half an hour later, Wen Ruan finally arrived, and Grandma Wen exclaimed as if she'd seen a savior: "Ruan Ruan, quick, take that madman back!"

Wen Ruan hesitated and said, "Grandma, Wen Han won't listen to me."

"What about Wen Qingke? Why isn't he here?"

Even if he came, it wouldn't make a difference. Wen Ruan only dared to mutter this to himself as he pushed open the door, with Grandma Wen hiding behind him.

Wen Han was engrossed in watching the movie and didn't respond when Wen Ruan called him.

"Quickly, chase him away!" Grandpa Wen urged Wen Ruan as he approached.

Wen Ruan pointed to herself: "Me?"

"Grandpa, he's only staying for a few days anyway, he'll go back when he goes to school."

Grandma Wen was on the verge of tears: "That...that won't do either. How can I live with him?"

Wen Ruan glanced away indifferently without saying a word. He noticed that Wen Han was watching a newly released movie, which still cost money to watch now.

The table was covered in snacks. Wen Han looked at them and got hungry, so she picked out a bag for herself. Wen Hao exclaimed, "My chocolate!"

"Oh." Wen Han didn't understand. "It's all in English."

Wen Ruan whispered, "...Wen Han, that's Spanish."

Wen Han rolled her eyes: "You think you're so capable, so smart."

Wen Han tossed the Spanish chocolate into her mouth like it was free candy, much to the dismay of the Wen family. Fei Nai'er tried to join in, but Wen Han pushed its large head away: "Not this time. This is real chocolate; cats can't eat it. Let me see if I have any beef jerky."

Menggu beef jerky looks like a genuine brand. Wen Han tore open the packaging bag, and it smelled quite authentic, without any random additives. She poured it directly onto the table for Fei Nai'er to eat.

"Oh dear, feeding beef jerky to a cat, what a waste!" Grandpa Wen slapped his thigh. "Wen Ruan, you, you should say something to him!"

Wen Ruan didn't tell them that he had no control over Wen Han at all. Wen Han was annoyed by their chattering behind her: "Can't a person watch TV anymore?"

Seeing Wen Ruan's expression, Wen Han chuckled and picked up the remaining chocolates on the table, tossing them to him: "Eat up, you can't get these in that house."

Wen Ruan looked at the chocolate in her palm without saying a word.

Wen Han smiled every now and then, completely relaxed as if she were at home. After finishing the chocolate, she ate cookies, and then got thirsty: "Go, get me something to drink."

The Wen family was angry and didn't want to talk to him. Wen Ruan looked around and finally went to the refrigerator to see what drinks were available.

Wen Han waited for ages but no water came. She even suspected that Wen Ruan had frozen to death from the refrigerator's cold air, so she had no choice but to go get the water herself. She found Wen Ruan staring blankly at the refrigerator, seemingly lost in thought.

"Why does it take so long to get some water?" Wen Han glanced at the refrigerator. Their own refrigerator looked incredibly old, short and small, with even the exterior yellowed. This refrigerator, on the other hand, looked gleaming and was taller than a person.

Wen Han was in a good mood and didn't blame Wen Ruan. She picked out a bottle of coconut water as if she were shopping in a supermarket.

"Huh?" Wen Han suddenly noticed something, picked it up and laughed, "Oh dear, isn't this your favorite treat from when you were little?"

A layer of colorful cheese sticks filled the refrigerator. Wen Han opened the drawer and took one out. The cheese stick was packaged like jelly, but it was much more expensive than jelly. Ever since the Wen family moved to the tenement building, they haven't had cheese sticks, let alone milk.

Wen Han didn't care about that; he was lactose intolerant and felt nauseous easily when eating pure dairy products.

Wen Han picked up the cheese stick in his hand and twirled it around. Seeing Wen Ruan's helpless look, he smiled and patted Wen Ruan's face with the cheese stick: "Eat more, there's plenty here."

Wen Han even turned up the TV volume, and everyone around him dared not say anything, only waiting for him to fall asleep: "Okay, which room do I stay in?"

"Go back to your own home and sleep. There are no rooms for you here."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it then." Wen Han shrugged. "You guys can each choose one person to sleep on the sofa."

"After all, if I can't sleep, no one else can sleep either."
