Chapter 53 Chapter 53 I Want Her Heart More
Wen Yu and Ye Yinuo stayed in the hotel for another night. Ye Yinuo was chatting animatedly with Dou Lang on her phone. They slept so close to each other. Last night, they were all playing around, but tonight, the lines between them were clearly drawn. Wen Yu felt like she shouldn't be here, or else this bed would be Dou Lang's.
They had only known each other for a few days, yet it was like they had pressed the fast-forward button.
The next morning, Wen Yu and Ye Yinuo took the high-speed train home. At the station, Dou Lang saw them off. Ye Yinuo and Dou Lang were in the early stages of their relationship, where casual physical contact could excite them. Before they left, Ye Yinuo hugged Dou Lang. As they boarded the train, Ye Yinuo said to Wen Yu, "I've hugged him, so how long will it take to sleep with him?"
After observing their relationship all day yesterday, Wen Yu had gotten used to Ye Yinuo's lecherous look and said to her calmly, "Be careful, he seems serious."
Ye Yinuo snorted and said, "How do you know I'm not serious?"
Wen Yu produced evidence: "You only want to sleep with him."
Ye Yinuo said logically, "You only want to sleep with someone if you like them. Think about it, if you are facing someone you don't love, can you kiss or lie down with them? On the contrary, when facing someone you love very much, you can't help but hug, kiss, and sleep with them. This is a normal physiological reaction of a normal human being."
Wen Yu: “…”
Sure. But could you please not say it so loudly? People around here are looking at me again.
Ye Yinuo didn't say anything to Wen Yu after that. She was busy chatting on WeChat with Dou Lang, whom she missed so much right after their breakup. Wen Yu also looked down at her phone. Few people knew her new number, and her new WeChat account was empty. She had added a new male friend yesterday, and he was now quietly at the top of her chat list.
She passed the time scrolling through her WeChat Moments. Photos of Xu Yanshan painting and riding motorcycles frequently popped up in her feed. She also saw pictures of herself enjoying the scenery and a selfie—she was boating on Lover's Lake in an orange life jacket. Xu Yanshan liked her post and commented: "This is Lover's Lake. Did you go there with your lover?"
At that time, Wen Yu was watching Ye Yinuo and Dou Lang sitting together, inseparable, and replied to Xu Yanshan with a face full of dog food: I went with other lovers. Xu Yanshan understood and replied with a smirking little yellow face expression.
Now, Pan Xianchen had added another comment to the post: "Hello, are you there? Please take me with you next time." He was mocking the friend request she had sent him, but Wen Yu ignored him.
After getting off the high-speed train, Wen Yu and Ye Yinuo went home separately. Wen Yu took a taxi and went directly to her mother's villa. Aslan had been away for the past few days and had no one to take care of him, so she had no choice but to send her son to Yu Xianyun's house and ask her mother to help take care of him for a few days.
My mom has experience raising small animals. Very early on, when she was a child, she raised Chinese rural cats and dogs at my grandparents' house. Later, when Wenyu was in first grade, my mom brought home a little tabby cat from a friend's house. Shortly after it was weaned, it would stretch out its little paws and wave at people.
Wen Yu loved it so much that during class she was still thinking about going home to feed the kitten dried fish. But later, the kitten was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and thrown out of the villa by its father because it ran to the garden to poop and lost control of itself and pooped on the floor.
Now that Wenyu has grown up, has a job, and is financially independent, she won't let anyone abandon her pet. The day she took Aslan away, she had already decided that she would stay with him until he grew old and died.
When she got back, the first thing she thought of was picking up the dog. Like a new mother who hasn't seen her son for a few days, she missed him. Wen Yu had assumed Aslan was attending kindergarten at her place, and now that school was over, she wanted to take her son home.
Wen Yu went into the villa, but there was no one at home and no dog. She called her mother, who breathlessly said, "We're walking the dog outside!"
Wen Yu grew bored waiting and left the villa. A couple and a dog approached her from a short distance. Her mother, sweating profusely from being walked by Aslan, now stood with her hands on her hips in exhaustion. Someone else was holding the dog. But Wen Yu wasn't surprised anymore; Pan Xianchen had appeared so often in her life that she'd grown accustomed to him.
When they all reached Wen Yu, Aslan was the first to rush over excitedly. Wen Yu squatted down to hug the dog. Aslan's tail was wagging almost double, and his large, wet tongue darted out, licking and licking, slobbering all over Wen Yu's face. She stood up, trying to stop Aslan from smearing his saliva on her face. Aslan stood up too, turning into a long, erect figure, his front paws firmly grasping Wen Yu's pants.
The mother looked at Aslan with disdain and said, "This dog is so clingy!"
Wen Yu defended his son: "Don't say bad things about my son."
"You've got a son, and you've forgotten who you are?" Mom said as she looked at Wenyu's face. Wenyu came back from playing with a rosy complexion and a good spirit. Mom also became happy and continued, "Where are you going to play next? If you need money, tell me and I'll transfer it to you. Have fun when you go out. I'm happy when you're happy."
Wen Yu smiled. With outsiders around, her mother wouldn't mention anything about her father, or anything bad about the family. Wen Yu didn't want to ask her about these things right now. Her mother pointed to Pan Xianchen next to her and said, "Xiao Yu, this Pan said he works in the same unit as you, and he's your colleague. I just ran into him while walking the dog."
Wen Yu looked at Pan Xianchen and greeted him, "Mr. Pan, what a coincidence?"
"Ah? Mr. Pan?" Mom blinked in confusion, then realized, "Not a colleague? He's your boss. Hello, Mr. Pan. Thank you so much for taking care of and supporting my little girl, Xiaoyu."
"Auntie, just call me Xiao Pan," Pan Xianchen said. "Don't worry, Auntie, I like Wenyu very much. I will take care of her at work."
Wen Yu looked at Pan Xianchen speechlessly. Pan Xianchen smiled and raised his eyebrows at her.
Mom didn't notice these little actions between them at all, nor did she hear the implied meaning of Pan Xianchen's words. She just felt that Mr. Pan seemed to be a very approachable leader, who seemed easy to talk to and had no airs of a leader at all. Her Xiaoyu was lucky to follow such a leader.
My mother pointed to the villa in front and said, "Mr. Pan, this is my home. If it's convenient, come in for lunch. I have a lot of fresh vegetables at home, all of which I just bought this morning. You just helped me walk the dog. The dog can run really fast. Thank you for your hard work."
Aslan barked twice. With the leash in Wen Yu's hand, he couldn't run far and could only circle in place. He looked energetic, as if he hadn't run enough.
Wen Yu squatted down, rubbed Aslan's head, and asked with a smile: "Aslan, do you still want to go out for a walk? Mommy will take you there herself, okay?"
Aslan barked twice more.
Wen Yu stood up and said to her mother, "Mom, I'll take it out for a walk."
Aslan excitedly followed Wen Yu. After walking a few meters, Aslan rushed ahead of Wen Yu. A huge pulling force carried Wen Yu forward, and Wen Yu was thrown backward by Aslan's pull.
"Son, slow down!" Wen Yu shouted from behind Aslan.
Pan Xianchen helped her hold the leash, and Aslan felt a sudden surge of power from behind, pulling him back. He looked back at Pan Xianchen. It was this man with so much strength! He had been the one holding him back, limiting his ability to move! Aslan barked at Pan Xianchen speechlessly.
Pan Xianchen didn't bother to argue with the dog. He pulled the leash and said to Wen Yu with a smile, "Are you going to be a mother already?"
Wen Yu watched the dog jumping around with joy and said, "You won't understand the relationship between Aslan and me."
"How many days have you known it?" Pan Xianchen recalled and gave a date: the day Wen Yu bought the dog. He said, "How could you have developed such a deep affection in just a few days? How can you treat a dog better than you treat people?"
"How did you know?" Wen Yu asked back immediately, and quickly thought of Ning Kai and Hu Jingjing, and understood that it was Ning Kai and Pan Xianchen who said it.
"Ning Kai and his friends bought a silly Bichon Frise. When he was caught eating Hu Jingjing's snacks, he just lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. Your Border Collie is very smart," Pan Xianchen said. "Do you want to bring Aslan to Ning Kai's house to play next time? Dogs need to socialize and make friends too."
"Making friends with stupid people?" Wen Yu asked.
Pan Xianchen laughed heartily. "Aslan is so smart that he can outsmart me. Isn't that a good thing? He might even be happy with it."
Wen Yu snorted and said, "My family's educational philosophy is to make friends equally and have equal friends. I will never let my son use his IQ to crush others."
Pan Xianchen pointed at Aslan and said, "My educational philosophy is not to make decisions for children casually. Why don't you ask your son's opinion now?"
Wen Yu rolled her eyes at him, then squatted down under his gaze, hugged Aslan's neck, and whispered devilishly in Aslan's ear: "Aslan, do you want to make friends with Bimbisara? Do you? What? No? Okay, Mommy respects your opinion."
She stood up and spread her hands towards Pan Xianchen.
Pan Xianchen smiled and squatted down, imitating Wen Yu's behavior. He stroked Aslan's head and said, "Your mother was just talking nonsense. We make friends regardless of status. When Daddy has time, he will take you to Uncle Ning Kai's house to meet Bimbisar, okay? Hmm? What? Okay? You're such a good son!"
Wen Yu crossed his arms and said, "When did you become Aslan's father?"
Pan Xianchen said, "Aslan has no objection, what do you have?"
Aslan stared at his parents: "..."
The dog walked for another half an hour and finally ran out of energy. Wen Yu took Aslan back to the villa. She didn't plan to stay for lunch. She had already sent Pan Xianchen away when she finished walking the dog. Now she came back and said goodbye to her mother, then took Aslan back to her home.
She began planning her next trip. She planned to drive, take Aslan with her, and explore the world with her son. Acting immediately was something she had always wanted to do. After a quick lunch at home, she packed her bags and set off with Aslan.
As she got on the highway, Wen Yu felt a sense of peace as she watched the monotonous scenery whizz by on both sides of the car. It seemed as if it would be wonderful if this road could just keep going on forever. Soon, she was out of the city, and soon, she was in the next city.
This was a city Wenyu had never been to. Back in middle school, her classmates wrote about climbing mountains, about scaling them, about the pride they felt after conquering their fears and timidity and reaching the summit. This mountain in this city was a common theme for their essays. Wenyu had only seen it in travel videos on TV, but now she had set foot on its soil.
The mountain is very famous and attracts many climbers. Wen Yu met a man selling crutches at the foot of the mountain. He tried hard to sell his crutches. Wen Yu waved her hand and said she didn't need them. She wanted to climb to the top on her own two feet. The man with the crutches laughed at her and said, "I've met three people as stubborn as you today."
Wen Yu looked at him: "..."
The crutch man pointed at the team next to him and said, "Do you think you are them? Even they would feel weak climbing this mountain."
Wen Yu glanced to the side and saw a well-trained armed police force ready to go. Each member of the team was young and strong, their uniforms rolled up with their sleeves, revealing the clean lines of their arms. They were surrounded by a circle of women who had come to climb the mountain, from screaming female college students to middle-aged women with their hands behind their backs.
"What do you think? Our armed police are very handsome, right? The one on the left is married, and the one on the right is single. If you like whichever one, just ask for their WeChat." Brother Crutch said to Wen Yu with a smile.
Wen Yu turned around and looked at the man with the cane: "If I ask for his WeChat, can I ask him to help me up the mountain?"
"Of course! The armed police brother is so strong, you can even let him carry you up the mountain."
"Should I still buy your cane?"
“…”
The man with the crutch twitched his lips and was speechless because of Wen Yu's words.
Wen Yu stopped teasing him and prepared to scan the code to pay: "Give me a cane."
They took their crutches and set off with their dog.
At first, Wenyu climbed the mountain alongside the armed police. They all came to see her dog, some even petting it when she wasn't paying attention. Along the way, Aslan received far more attention than his mother. Then, Wenyu's strength gradually wore out, and her pace slowed, leaving her trailing behind the police. Then, her crutches started to break, and Aslan grew tired. Continuing further back, Wenyu looked up and could no longer see the rear of the armed police. Aslan was as tired as a dog, and Wenyu was as tired as Aslan.
The hikers around her were not much better than her and the dog. They all looked like they were on a famine-stricken migration, with their backs hunched and their heads lowered, walking out with the aura of beggars.
"No, we're only halfway up." Wen Yu and Aslan sat on the steps to rest. They were stuck in the middle, unable to go up or down. Wen Yu sweated profusely as she stared at the dog, who panted out his tongue at her.
At this moment, a QR code was extended in front of her. Wen Yu looked up and saw a young man with a buzz cut said to her, "300 yuan to accompany you to climb, and I guarantee you will reach the summit. Do you want it?"
Wen Yu: “…”
There are a lot of climbers on this mountain, and there are also a lot of people selling things.
Wen Yu said, "I've almost reached the top, and you're still charging 300 yuan. That's so expensive."
"I'm not just an ordinary climbing companion."
"What's so special about you?"
The man with the crew cut stood up and looked down at her. "I used to be a soldier. Did you see the armed police just now? I'm no worse than them. And I'm handsome. I can also chat with you when we climb together."
Wen Yu took a look at his height, figure and appearance, and he was indeed not bad.
"That's a bit expensive. After all, I'm pretty, and it won't be a disadvantage for me to chat with you." Wen Yu said while massaging her legs.
The man with the buzz cut also took a look at Wen Yu. Her height wasn't obvious from the seated position, but her figure and appearance were indeed excellent. He was also very selective with his climbing companions, and young, attractive women like Wen Yu were his first choice.
"Then how much do you want?" the man with a crew cut gave in.
Wen Yu chopped him off: "One hundred."
The man with a crew cut: “…”
So cruel.
The buzz cut man gritted his teeth and agreed. He then scanned the code to pay. Then the buzz cut man helped Wen Yu stand up and asked, "Do you want me to help you walk the dog?"
"want."
"That plus fifty."
“…”
Wen Yu gasped as she looked at the buzz-cut man. She hadn't expected to be tricked. As she was hesitating, her cell phone rang.
Pan Xianchen made a video call to her. After the call was connected, Pan Xianchen was speechless for a while, then said, "What's wrong with you? Every time I open my eyes, you're gone. What have you been doing?"
"I'm climbing a mountain." Wen Yu raised his phone and moved it so that Pan Xianchen could see the beautiful scenery on the mountain.
The buzz cut man glanced at Wen Yu's phone screen and his gaze met Pan Xianchen's. Pan Xianchen asked, "Who's that guy next to you? He's looking at your phone."
Wen Yu pointed the phone at the man with the buzz cut: "I'm looking for a climbing companion."
Pan Xianchen almost wanted to laugh. She had to find a man to climb a mountain with. Her life was truly too comfortable. With Xu Yanshan and this guy to accompany her, why were there so many men around her? She never had a moment's rest.
Pan Xianchen asked with a straight face, "How much does it cost to climb with me?"
Wen Yu replied: "One hundred and fifty."
The man with the buzz cut glanced at Wen Yu. Did he just raise the price successfully? He curled his lips and smiled quietly.
Pan Xianchen couldn't help but laugh. He watched Wen Yu and Peipa standing together on the other side of the phone, while he couldn't even reach the screen on his side. He felt anxious. Wen Yu would rather pay 150 yuan than think of him. He was free.
After hanging up the video call, Pan Xianchen went to Ning Kai to complain. Ning Kai not only refused to comfort him, but also mocked him: "She is like a gust of free wind now, and you still want to catch the wind?"
"Can you tell me something I like to hear?"
"Okay. A strong woman is afraid of clinging to a man, so you cling to her, cling to her desperately." Ning Kai came up with a bad idea, "Or you can also take a leave, and go wherever she goes."
"She doesn't seem to be buying it. That's how I treated her before she called off the engagement, and she didn't take it," Pan Xianchen said. "Plus, she said she wanted to spend these three months on her own to get something done, and I respect that."
"Then when she comes back and you're together, create some opportunities for physical contact." Ning Kai came up with another bad idea, "Men will think about that, and women will think about it too."
"I did that before and pushed her away. Now I don't dare. I want not only her body but also her heart."
Ning Kai: “…”
This is not allowed, that is not allowed.
"Okay. Just enjoy your pure love. I won't say anything else." Ning Kai hung up the phone.
