Ji Yuan grabbed Lu Wenxing's hand and looked at him closely, fearing that he would disappear from her sight in the next second.
The place shook violently again, and people around were trying to squeeze out. Ji Yuan felt nothing, her heart and eyes were filled with Lu Wenxing, her eyes were filled with crystal tears that would roll down in the blink of an eye.
Realizing that Ji Yuan was not in a good mood, Lu Wenxing could only let her be pulled, while carefully protecting her and bringing her to a safe place.
With the evacuation of the staff, all personnel escaped safely to the open space in just over ten minutes.
Lu Wenxing's cell phone kept vibrating in his pocket. He guessed that it was Xie Chengfei calling. Just now, when the two of them were walking out, they were separated by the crowd.
"Hello, Xiao Cheng."
"Where are you?"
Lu Wenxing told the approximate location and asked Xie Chengfei to come find him. After hanging up the phone, Lu Wenxing realized that Ji Yuan's delicate face had already been wet with tears.
He took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Ji Yuan, "Are you hurt?"
Ji Yuan couldn't utter a word. She covered her mouth, tears streaming down uncontrollably. Her throat was dry and her chest was heaving violently. Lu Wenxing patted her shoulders gently, trying to comfort the person in front of him who was crying.
"Brother." Xie Chengfei breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay."
"It may be that there was an earthquake in the provincial capital next to us. Except for the first tremor which was quite strong, the aftershocks were just slight shaking."
"It's either City A or City D. Check on your phone, the news should be out." As Xie Chengfei was speaking, he suddenly noticed Ji Yuan holding Lu Wenxing's wrist.
"she?"
At this moment, Ji Yuan's emotions gradually calmed down. Looking at the young man next to Lu Wenxing, she sniffed and asked.
"You are... brothers?"
"Yes." Xie Chengfei turned his gaze from Lu Wenxing to Ji Yuan, "Brother, who is she?"
Lu Wenxing shook his head. “Just now, there were so many people that she was almost knocked down, so I pulled her out with me.”
"Oh. Then she..."
Xie Chengfei was a little confused, but he saw tears in Ji Yuan's eyes. He swallowed the question "Why is she still holding on to you?"
"I'm sorry." Ji Yuan let go of her hand and hid the reluctance in her eyes. She took a deep breath and sorted herself out.
"I was a little excited just now."
Ji Yuan wanted to tell Lu Wenxing the truth directly, but she held back. Lu Wenxing knew nothing at the moment, and the current situation was not suitable for talking about this.
besides…
Ji Yuan's eyes fell on Xie Chengfei. It could be seen that the two had a good relationship. The family that adopted Lu Wenxing should be very good to him. What she was worried about was that Lu Wenxing didn't know that he was adopted.
If I say it rashly, what if Xingxing can't accept it?
He knew nothing, and Ji Yuan was worried that his suddenness would scare Xingxing.
Ji Yuan clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms bit by bit. She would definitely recognize the stars, but not now.
She didn't know anything about Xingxing, and she didn't even know whether Xingxing liked sweets or whether she liked them salty or bland.
She had not participated in Xingxing's life for more than ten years. Under such circumstances, why should she recognize Xingxing?
Others have helped her take care of Xingxing for more than ten years, and as her biological mother, she has done nothing. Does she want to take her away just because she says 'I am your biological mother'?
This is unfair to Xingxing, and also unfair to the family that raised Xingxing.
"Thank you for just now."
"You're welcome. You don't look well. Call your family and ask them to pick you up."
Lu Wenxing was a little worried because Ji Yuan looked very haggard.
"We can't attend the concert. Should we wait here with her?"
Xie Chengfei had no objection, it was not a big deal anyway.
Ji Yuan had finally met Xingxing, and she was reluctant to let Xingxing leave like this. When she heard Xingxing say this, the joy of reunion gradually filled her heart.
Before Ji Yuan could call, Wen Zheng called, "Mom, are you okay?"
"It's okay. Have you contacted your dad?"
"I've contacted you. Don't worry, everything is fine. I'll be there soon."
Ji Yuan hung up the phone and smiled faintly, "Do you often come to concerts?"
“First time here.”
Xie Chengfei continued Lu Wenxing's words, "My homeroom teacher gave me two tickets, so I came with my brother. I didn't expect that my first concert would be during an earthquake."
"Is your brother still in high school?"
"right."
Ji Yuan smiled and turned to Lu Wenxing, "What year are you in?"
"Junior year."
As they were talking, Wen Zheng's car had already driven over. Seeing Lu Wenxing with his mother, Wen Zheng was a little surprised, "Mom, why are you with Wenxing?"
Ji Yuan: "Wen Xing?"
Wen Zheng didn't understand the meaning of Ji Yuan's words. He just thought that Ji Yuan was so surprised because she didn't know Lu Wenxing, so he explained to Lu Wenxing with a little apology.
"My mom doesn't usually pay attention to the entertainment industry, so she might not know you."
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Wenxing was also surprised at this moment, because Ji Yuan looked too young and did not look like a child as old as Wen Zheng.
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
"You know him too?" Ji Yuan's gaze fell on Wen Zheng, feeling a little happy and a little uncomfortable.
The happy thing is that the two know each other, and Ji Yuan has more reasons to interact with Xingxing. The sad thing is that Wen Zheng obviously didn't recognize Xingxing.
The two brothers had a very good relationship when they were young, but now they don't know each other.
"I ran into some trouble before, but luckily I met Mr. Wen. To be honest, I haven't formally thanked him yet."
"Are you in trouble?" Ji Yuan's brows immediately frowned.
"It's nothing serious."
Ji Yuan was not happy about this. Wen Zheng helped her last time, but how did Xingxing solve the problems when she encountered them before?
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan felt even more distressed, but she couldn't show it too obviously.
She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and forced a smile. "It's all thanks to you for saving me just now, otherwise I would have fallen and it would have been dangerous. Can I buy you a meal?"
"Mom, how did you almost fall?" Wen Zheng looked at Ji Yuan worriedly, "Are you hurt?"
"It's okay. Thanks to Xing... Wen Xing. The scene was a bit chaotic and everyone was trying to get out. I was bumped into, but luckily Wen Xing held me back."
Just hearing Ji Yuan say this, Wen Zheng's heart almost jumped up.
"Wen Xing, let's have dinner together?" Wen Zheng followed up on what Ji Yuan had just said and also invited Lu Wen Xing. "You two can go together. I've booked a private room."
Wen Zheng opened the passenger door, but Ji Yuan didn't get in, instead she looked at Lu Wenxing expectantly. Wen Zheng opened the door for Lu Wenxing and Xie Chengfei, "Let's go, let's have dinner together."
"Brother, shall we go?"
Lu Wenxing hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go."
Only after seeing Lu Wenxing agreed did Ji Yuan get into the car with peace of mind. During the ride, she looked up at the rearview mirror several times, secretly sizing up Lu Wenxing's appearance.
Her eyes moved from Lu Wenxing's eyebrows, eyes to his mouth. She looked very seriously, as if she wanted to engrave Lu Wenxing's appearance in her heart.
"I heard that you rejected the contract with Huayi. Can I ask why?" Wen Zheng seldom goes on Weibo and didn't know about the uproar on Weibo a few days ago.
Wen Yan only told him that Lu Wenxing refused to sign. Wen Zheng asked in detail, but Wen Yan couldn't answer why. Now that he met him in person, Wen Zheng naturally asked the question.
"Because I'm going abroad."
Ji Yuan's smile froze instantly, and she didn't even have time to hide the panic on her face. "Why do you want to go abroad?"
Wen Zheng's hands gripping the steering wheel also tightened.
"The school gave me a place as an exchange student to go abroad for a year."
Ji Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, "Is that so? Then you must be a good student."
“Very impressive.”
The speaker was Wen Zheng. Xie Chengfei and Lu Wenxing were both stunned when they heard this compliment. Lu Wenxing even suspected that he had heard it wrongly. His previous understanding of Wen Zheng was only from novels.
Later, Lu Wenxing searched the Internet for information related to Wen Zheng, and only then did he know that Wen Zheng was a top student who graduated from Z University and had two master's degrees. Lu Wenxing believed that he was not comparable to Wen Zheng.
But Wen Zheng just praised him for being so awesome?
Lu Wenxing was still a little confused, but he heard Ji Yuan in the co-pilot seat echoing, "It's amazing."
He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but he seemed to hear a hint of pride in Wen Zheng’s mother’s tone?
Lu Wenxing: ???
Is it an illusion?
"Can I call you Xingxing?" Ji Yuan asked tentatively.
Lu Wenxing was stunned for a moment, and Wen Zheng was also stunned.
Although he had a good impression of Lu Wenxing, it was the first time for his mother and Lu Wenxing to meet. Why did she call Lu Wenxing by his brother's nickname? Because it seemed more intimate? Or...
"It will be all right."
After getting Lu Wenxing's agreement, Ji Yuan happily asked, "Which university is Xingxing going to?"
"Y big."
Now it was Wen Zheng and Ji Yuan's turn to be surprised, because Ji Yuan graduated from Y University with a major in jewelry design.
Ji Yuan: “That’s such a coincidence.”
Wen Zheng thought Ji Yuan was talking about her graduation from Y University, and thought it was a coincidence. But Ji Yuan explained to Lu Wenxing, "It's like this, I have a lecture at Y University in a while."
Wen Zheng: “……?”
When did it happen? Why didn't he know?
Just as Wen Zheng was about to ask something, Ji Yuan slapped him in the face.
"Please pay attention when driving."
Wen Zheng didn't say a word along the way. When they arrived at the place, Wen Zheng finally confirmed that Ji Yuan was hiding something from him.
The hotel that Wen Zheng took Wen Xing to was also owned by the Wen family and was owned by his second uncle.
As soon as they entered the door, the waiter came over to show them the way. After everyone was seated, the waiter immediately handed them the menu.
"What does Xingxing like to eat? The sweet and spicy dishes here are delicious."
Then, Wen Zheng watched Ji Yuan holding the menu, asking Lu Wenxing if he wanted to eat this, and then asking Xie Chengfei if he wanted to eat that.
Wen Zheng sat aside, patiently waiting for Ji Yuan to order food for Lu Wenxing and Xie Chengfei. "Alright."
Then, without even looking at Wen Zheng, Ji Yuan handed it to the waiter, "That's all, they all like to eat."
Wen Zheng, who was about to order some dishes, said: "..."
During the meal that followed, Wen Zheng felt even more strange. Before he had time to think about it, he heard his own name.
"You mean Xiao Zheng? He prefers light taste."
It turned out that Lu Wenxing saw that Wen Zheng didn't eat much, so he asked another question. After getting the answer, Lu Wenxing looked at the table full of spicy vegetables and sweet vegetables, which were all his and Xie Chengfei's favorites.
Every dish was delicious, but... not too bland.
Xie Chengfei asked curiously, "Does Mr. Wen's father also prefer light food?"
The reason for this guess is that Xie Chengfei looks very similar to his mother, but Wen Zheng and his mother don't look alike at all, and even their tastes are different. I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"No, his father's taste is like mine," said Ji Yuan.
"Then Mr. Wen looks like dad?"
"He is not like any of us." Ji Yuan loves Xie Chengfei because he loves his brother. He can see that Lu Wenxing cares a lot about his younger brother.
"Xiao Zheng's mixed-race genes are inherited from his grandfather."
Xie Chengfei knew about intergenerational inheritance, but was this the first time a mixed-race child was born from an intergenerational inheritance?
Ji Yuan was in a good mood today and said whatever came to her mind. "My youngest son doesn't look like me, nor like his father."
Xie Chengfei was even more curious, "Is he also mixed-blood?"
"No, he looks like his grandmother. She was also a famous beauty when she was young." Ji Yuan smiled as she said this. "It seems that our family is all inherited from the previous generation. Xiaozheng's uncle doesn't look like Xiaozheng's grandfather. He looks more like his great-grandfather."
After listening to Ji Yuan's explanation, Wen Zheng felt as if his brain was electrified. The things that confused him seemed to have been explained. He turned to look at Lu Wenxing.
When Wen Zheng was three or four years old, his grandmother passed away. A few years later, Xingxing was born, and many people said that Xingxing looked like his grandmother. But Wen Zheng himself did not have a deep impression of his grandmother. He just thought his brother's eyes were very beautiful.
Eye.
Wen Zheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Wenxing, and his beautiful eyes and eyebrows seemed vaguely familiar.
Even Wen Zheng, who is usually calm and composed, couldn't suppress the blood boiling in his heart at this moment.
He looked at Ji Yuan, whose eyes were full of Lu Wenxing, and then looked at Lu Wenxing who was joking with Xie Chengfei.
At that moment, Wen Zheng finally realized why Ji Yuan was staring at Lu Wenxing absentmindedly at the dinner table. It was because being able to accompany Lu Wenxing for dinner was a great satisfaction for Ji Yuan.
No wonder Ji Yuan suddenly said that she wanted to give a lecture at Y University. In fact, it was because...
Speaking of which, it's not just Ji Yuan who is close to Lu Wenxing. Wen Zheng also has a special liking for Lu Wenxing. It has been like this since the first time they met. He wants to protect Lu Wenxing, can't bear to see Lu Wenxing being bullied, wants to pave the way for Lu Wenxing, and so on.
It turns out that these are not inexplicable, but because...
Lu Wenxing is the younger brother he has tried so hard to find.
