Chapter 10 Tears "Then come back to my place first, okay?"

Yun Tan first met Lu Wangshan not when he was 18 years old, but earlier, when he was in junior high school.

Probably twelve or thirteen years old.

Lu Shiyue is the same age as her, in the same class, and sits at the same table with her.

Once, Lu Shiyue deliberately put a bug on her desk to scare her. Yun Tan was frightened and beat Lu Shiyue up.

The young master of the Lu family had never suffered such an injustice before. His face was scratched. He was shocked, wronged and humiliated, and was beaten to tears by Yun Tan.

The teacher came quickly and called the two to the office.

After understanding the whole story and some persuasion, the two children listened to the advice and apologized to each other obediently.

This matter could have ended here.

But Lu Shiyue is the young master of the Lu family after all. Although his parents did not spoil him too much and asked for special treatment from the school, the principal explained the situation to the class teacher at the beginning of the school year and he could not be neglected.

What's more, Lu Shiyue's face was scratched, and it would be troublesome if his parents pursued the matter later.

So the head teacher dialed the number left by Lu Shiyue in the address book.

The person who answered the phone was a man with a very young voice.

Yuntan stood in the office, listening to the head teacher explain the situation to the person on the other end of the phone.

The other end seemed to ask, "Are you hurt?" The head teacher answered truthfully, "Nothing serious, but there's a small cut on the face."

Yuntan silently clenched his fists.

Her heart was beating fast and she was a little scared.

She remembered that the nanny at home did not keep a close eye on Yuan Hongren, which caused her brother to get a bruise. Yuan Qinrong was so anxious that she started cursing.

A young master like Lu Shiyue, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, must have been very much loved.

She would definitely be scolded too.

-

Lu Shiyue's parents arrived faster than she expected.

But he was wearing a school uniform, a high school uniform.

Yun Tan looked at the tall boy in front of him. He was really tall, two heads taller than Yun Tan at that time. He had broad shoulders, muscular arms, big hands, and blue veins running upwards along the back of his hands.

Yuntan pursed his lips.

At that time, Yun Tan certainly could not have imagined that many years later, it would be these big hands that would effortlessly support her hips and lift her up.

She was just afraid and thought that if he took action, she might really have to be hospitalized.

Lu Wangshan really took action and slapped Lu Shiyue on the back of the head: "Still crying, aren't you ashamed?"

Lu Shiyue was stunned: "Brother...I was the one who got beaten..."

"Weren't you the one who scared others first?"

Little Lu Shiyue was still afraid of his brother. He shrank his neck and whispered, "I apologized to her."

"Don't scare girls anymore, understand?" Lu Wangshan frowned at him, "You scared people and got beaten and cried. Don't call me your brother anymore."

Lu Shiyue's face flushed red, fearing that Lu Wangshan really wouldn't treat him as his brother anymore, so he quickly wiped away his tears: "I won't cry anymore, brother."

Yun Tan, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Wangshan looked at her.

Lu Wangshan, who was still a high school student, already had a stern temperament, and Yun Tan quickly fell silent.

Unexpectedly, this fierce brother bent down to look her in the eye, and his voice was very gentle: "Little friend, are you hurt anywhere?"

Yuntan shook his head.

"That's good." Lu Wangshan rubbed her hair and straightened it out from the mess she had made during the fight. "I'm sorry. Brother apologizes to you again on behalf of Ah Yue."

Yun Tan blinked and said, "It's okay, brother."

It was on that day that Yun Tan began to envy Lu Shiyue for having such a brother.

…

Unlike me, I only have a rubbish brother like Yun Jin.

The next day was grandma's 80th birthday. When Yun Tan arrived home, he saw Yun Jin still looking dead, slumped on the sofa playing games again.

Beibei wanted to play flying chess with him, but Yun Jin waved his hand and said, "Go play by yourself."

Yuntan was getting angry again, but he couldn't show it in front of Beibei.

"Beibei." Yuntan sat next to her. "Auntie will play with you, okay?"

Beibei immediately smiled happily and asked Yuntan what color he liked.

Yuntan said casually, "Green."

Beibei gave her the green flying chess piece.

Yuntan actually doesn’t like children very much. Most children nowadays are spoiled and you have to follow their wishes when playing games.

But Beibei wouldn't be like that.

She rolled the dice several times but never got a "6" and couldn't "take off".

Yun Tan had already "flown" quite far, but Bei Bei was in no hurry to cheat. When Yun Tan rolled a 6 again, she clapped her hands and said, "Auntie is so awesome!"

Halfway through the game, Yuan Hongren got up and went downstairs.

He went to Yuntan and watched them play games, and said he wanted to play too.

So the game process is reset to zero and starts over.

But Yuan Hongren didn't understand the rules of the game at all. He only knew that he had to fly in the front, and he didn't care how many numbers he rolled.

Beibei corrected him, moved his plane back a few spaces, and said in a soft voice: "Uncle, you are wrong. The dice is 2, you can only move 2 spaces."

Yuan Hongren refused to listen and insisted on moving the plane forward.

Beibei still couldn't understand her uncle's illness, but she just kept moving the plane back without getting tired of it.

Yuan Hongren exploded in an instant. He raised his hand and knocked the chessboard to the ground. The chess pieces fell to the ground with a clatter and he started screaming.

Beibei was frightened and started crying too.

Yun Jin tutted impatiently, picked up Beibei, and scolded Yun Tan: "Why are you meddling in this for no reason? You really want to make everyone uncomfortable today, right?"

Yuan Qinrong and the nanny immediately surrounded Yuan Hongren to comfort him, and Beibei was held by Yun Jin.

Only Yuntan was still sitting on the carpet, with the surroundings in a mess.

She was about to open her mouth to argue, but Yun Qihui came over to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, it's rare for the whole family to be together for grandma's birthday. Stop arguing, it would be sad for grandma to hear it."

Yuntan then shut up.

It was not until dinner time that Yuan Hongren was slightly comforted.

Beibei is very well behaved and has stopped crying a long time ago.

Only Yuntan would play with her here, and after eating, she would stick to Yuntan again.

She asked Yuntan if there was a camera in his phone, saying that her mother had a very interesting camera in her phone that could turn people into pigs.

"A special effects camera?" Yun Tan asked.

"What is a special effects camera?"

Yun Tan downloaded one for her: "Is it this one?"

"Yes!" Beibei's eyes were bright, like a little deer.

She clicked on a few of the special effects, played them on her face and laughed heartily, then asked Yuntan to take a photo with her.

Yuntan cooperated with her and took photos, transforming into a pig, a lamb, and even an old man.

Beibei was very happy and said in a sweet voice, "Auntie, you are so beautiful!"

Yun Tan smiled and imitated her tone: "You are so beautiful too, Beibei."

Yuan Hongren was sitting on the other side of Yun Tan, watching them play. He became more and more anxious. He didn't like Yun Tan focusing her attention on anything other than him.

Suddenly, Yuan Hongren grabbed the plum-glazed pork ribs in front of him and threw it hard at Beibei.

The sticky sauce splattered Beibei's face and clothes, and one of the ribs also poked her cheek red.

The situation got out of control again.

Yuan Hongren grabbed the ribs with his bare hands again and pretended to smash them again.

Yuntan quickly blocked Beibei and the ribs hit her.

This time, Yun Tan couldn't help himself: "Yuan Hongren! What are you doing! Apologize to Beibei!"

There was no way Yuan Hongren would apologize. There was no such word in his world. He just screamed again.

Yuan Qinrong asked the nanny to quickly bring a towel over, saying, "Xiao Tan, your brother is ignorant. Why are you so angry with him?"

Yun Jin doesn't like Yuan Qinrong and even less so Yuan Hongren. If it wasn't for grandma's birthday, he wouldn't have come today.

At this point, he simply picked up Beibei and left cursing.

Yuntan still stood there, his chest heaving violently due to anger and depression.

Yuan Hongren screamed and called her name.

He needs Yuntan's 100% attention.

Yuan Qinrong pulled her: "Xiao Tan, go and comfort your brother!"

"Why should I coax him? He did something wrong himself."

Yuan Qinrong was in a hurry to wipe Yuan Hongren's hands while comforting him: "Your brother is not sensible, but you have to be sensible!"

The sauce stains on Yuntan's collar dripped onto the floor, and no one saw it.

"Yuan Qinrong."

When Yun Tan called her name, everyone in the room looked at her and fell silent, except Yuan Hongren who was still screaming.

"Yuan Hongren has become what he is today because of your indulgence. He should apologize if he does something wrong!" Yun Tan pointed at him and said sternly, "His low intelligence is not an excuse for his willful behavior, nor is it a reason for him to be ignorant of right and wrong!"

Yuan Qinrong couldn't stand others saying that Yuan Hongren was mentally retarded, even if it was the truth.

What she couldn't accept even more was that someone ignored her efforts and hard work, and blamed her for her son's transformation.

She suddenly stood up, her blood boiling, and raised her hand towards Yun Tan.

Yun Tan didn't let her hit him. He grabbed her wrist and pushed Yuan Qinrong back.

"Yun Tan!" Yun Qihui protected Yuan Qinrong and said sternly, "You just returned home and you're already turning this family upside down again!?"

"I've turned this family into a mess?" Yun Tan laughed angrily. "No matter who you ask to judge what happened back then, you're the ones who have wronged me!"

Grandma, sitting in a wheelchair, went to pull Yun Qihui's hand: "Qihui, what are you talking about?"

Yuntan suddenly felt frustrated and wronged.

When she returned to China, she wanted to never mention the past again for her grandmother's sake. Since it could not be undone or changed, she would just maintain superficial peace for her grandmother's sake.

But in the end, the most embarrassing thing happened at grandma's birthday party.

Yuntan turned his head away and opened his eyes wide to let the tears flow back.

The intense emotions were suddenly suppressed, and a deeper bitterness began to spread: "After I returned to China, every time you asked me to come home for dinner, it was for Hongren, but didn't you want to abandon me when you divorced Mom?"

Where is my home?

In fact, she has never had a home since she was a child.

Yuntan picked up her bag and turned to leave.

Yun Tan stopped when she noticed her grandmother's gaze, but she saw her grandmother waving at her and whispering, "Let's go."

Yuntan's eyes became hot and he left quickly.

She never wants to come back here again.

-

Ever since meeting Yun Tan last night, Lu Shiyue has been secretly observing Lu Wangshan.

Lu Shiyue hated Yun Tan not because of some trivial matter like she had beaten him to tears, but because he had witnessed with his own eyes how painful Lu Wangshan was after Yun Tan left.

As the only witness to their relationship, Lu Shiyue certainly felt it was unfair to Lu Wangshan.

When Lu Shiyue had been hanging around Lu Wangshan for the umpteenth time today, Lu Wangshan finally got impatient and asked, "What on earth do you want to do today?"

Lu Shiyue paused and leaned over: "Brother."

"explain."

"Are you still in touch with Yun Tan?"

"without."

"So what do you do to her...?"

Lu Wangshan frowned: "How many years have passed? Are you still worrying about this?"

"I told you so!" Lu Shiyue finally relaxed and slapped his thigh hard, "How could my brother go back to me?"

Lu Shiyue always felt a little uneasy because his brother had rejected so many blind dates suggested by his parents.

Lu Wangshan ignored him and continued to deal with work emails on the computer.

Lu Shiyue could finally lie down on the sofa and relax. He was not as good at studying as Lu Wangshan. He followed Xiang Yin's advice to study in the UK and did not have the pressure of inheriting the family business. After graduation, he did not join the company and did what he liked.

Lu Shiyue never told Lu Wangshan that when he was studying in England, he had heard of Yun Tan's name who was studying in Milan at the time.

It’s such a small world.

When Lu Shiyue's good brother went to Milan for vacation, he met Yun Tan. He fell in love with her at first sight and begged her to add him on WeChat.

When he came back and showed him the girl's photo, Lu Shiyue almost choked to death.

At this moment, Lu Shiyue was sure that his brother had let it go, and finally dared to speak out: "My friend is actually quite handsome. She has been pursuing Yun Tan for more than a year, and she goes to Milan every time she has a holiday. However, Yun Tan is not moved at all. Later, she sent my friend a message saying that she has no intention of having a boyfriend and directly blocked my friend."

Lu Shiyue lay on the sofa, legs crossed, and couldn't help laughing when talking about the past: "It really broke my friend's heart. She almost lost her confidence and had plastic surgery!"

Lu Wangshan paused his fingertips tapping on the keyboard and asked, "When did it happen?"

"Yun Tan hadn't been abroad for long at that time."

He remembered that Lu Wangshan had not come out yet at that time.

It felt very awkward to watch his brother pursuing his ex-sister-in-law, and he even secretly felt relieved every time his brother was rejected.

"Did your friend ever ask if someone had a boyfriend before pursuing them?"

"Yun Tan doesn't have a boyfriend." Lu Shiyue said as a matter of course, "He asked as soon as he added WeChat. Even after being blocked, he still didn't give up and secretly asked Milan's friends. Yun Tan didn't have a boyfriend in four years of college."

"When are you leaving?" Lu Wangshan suddenly asked.

Lu Shiyue was a little confused: "Huh?"

"You can go back now." Lu Wangshan directly ordered them to leave.

Lu Shiyue was a little sad, but in a good mood. After all, he had confirmed that his brother no longer liked Yun Tan, so he left obediently.

-

Lu Wangshan put away his computer and went into the kitchen to make dinner for Leo.

While stroking Leo's head, he looked down at Yun Tan's number in his phone's address book.

In fact, he thought that Yun Tan broke up with him not because of Ding Mian.

The love we shared for a year and a half cannot be faked.

They are so loving and compatible. If Yun Tan is still with Ding Mian at this time, it would be too disconnected.

But Yun Tan did not deny it, and he could not find any other reason for Yun Tan to leave.

If he no longer believed that reason, Lu Wangshan would never be able to let it go.

He finally dialed Yuntan's number.

He wanted to ask if he was the only one in her life back then.

No matter how much or how little that love is, or whether he is the only one who has it.

I also want to ask why she left.

But when the call was connected, Lu Wangshan heard the quiet sound of the wind on her end and suddenly couldn't open his mouth.

In the silence, he touched Leo's head and silently gave the command "call".

"Woof!"

Yun Tan on the other end of the phone suddenly burst into tears when she heard Leo's cry.

Her crying was also suppressed, with very light sobs and trembling breaths and ending sounds.

But Lu Wangshan heard it.

He only felt a sudden prickling in his fingertips, and he couldn't ask any of the questions he wanted to ask just now. The only thing left was one realization - Yun Tan was crying.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he was afraid of disturbing the sad girl, so he even spoke in a very gentle voice: "What's wrong with you?"

Yun Tan didn't know how to say those things, nor did he want to say them, so he said, "Can you please stop asking? I'm on the phone with Leo."

When Leo heard his mother calling him, he excitedly shouted, "Woof woof woof!" "Leo wants to call Mommy too!"

"Where are you?" Lu Wangshan asked.

Yuntan was silent.

"I'll come find you, okay?"

Lu Wangshan thought that he hadn't spoken so gently in five years. Afraid that she would refuse, he added, "Take Leo with you, okay?"

…

When Lu Wangshan parked the car at the subway entrance and saw Yun Tan sitting on the steps, he still felt distressed.

The temperature dropped at night. The woman was only wearing a thin shirt, and the evening breeze outlined her slender figure. She rested her arms on her knees and buried her cheek in her arms.

The bustling neighborhood was crowded with people, but Yuntan was the only one curled up there quietly.

Lu Wangshan suddenly thought of the scene when he first saw Leo on the cold roadside.

Leo shouted excitedly in the car, and Lu Wangshan got out.

He called out "Yun Tan" and when she looked up, he saw her red eyes, and his fingertips felt like they were electrocuted again.

The handsome Doberman in the pure black Cullinan and the tall and handsome man squatting in front of the woman are all eye-catching enough.

Lu Wangshan didn't like being watched, but he didn't care about anything at the moment.

He noticed the stain on Yuntan's clothes and asked, "What happened?"

Yun Tan shook his head: "Can you please not ask?"

Lu Wangshan didn't ask any more questions: "Shall I take you home first?"

Yuntan's eyes became even redder, and he continued to shake his head.

Lu Wangshan roughly guessed that it was something about her family.

He knew from the beginning that Yuntan didn't like that family.

Lu Wangshan paused for a moment, took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. He gently held her cold hand and looked up into her eyes: "Then come back to my place first, okay?"

…

Cullinan drove towards Lu's residence.

Leo seemed to notice that his mother was in a bad mood and calmed down.

During the red light, Lu Wangshan turned his head to look at Yun Tan.

She stared out the window silently, the taillights of the car in front casting a red shadow on her cheek. Her whole demeanor was very calm and solemn, but her eyes were moist and crimson, which made people tremble at the sight of her and dared not look any longer.

Lu Wangshan felt that this scene was very familiar.

It was just like that night six years ago, the source of all their entanglements.

Yun Tan was also very sad that day. Lu Wangshan took her home and they made love.

Wuhu

It's hard to guess what will happen.

Damn, our father Lu has hated me for five years, but in fact, he would be completely soft-hearted if he gave in a little bit.
