Chapter 4 Love Overcomes All Difficulties
Wen Ci tightened her grip on the bed sheet, took a deep breath, and said, "It hurts."
"Then I'll be gentle."
Xie Peizhou curled his thin lips and softened his pressure.
After the long five minutes, Wen Ci's back was soaked with sweat.
"Wrap it in plastic wrap when you take a shower tonight, and don't let it get wet."
Xie Peizhou went to the bathroom to wash his hands, then went downstairs carrying the medical kit.
The door was not closed when the man left.
Wen Ci thought Xie Peizhou had forgotten, so she hopped over and closed the door. Just as she sat back on the bed, there was a knock on the door. Xie Peizhou's gentle voice came, "Wen Ci, can you come in?"
Wen Ci was stunned and subconsciously looked at the electronic clock on the bedside table. It was almost ten o'clock.
"……Can."
"Uncle, do you have anything else to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Peizhou pushed open the door, his bony hands holding a glass filled with steaming water.
Xie Peizhou placed the water cup, alcohol-sickness medicine, and common stomach medicine on the bedside table, pulled the desk chair over, and sat down opposite her. "Are you sleepy?"
"Forehead……"
Wen Ci saw that he seemed to have something to talk about, and shook her head, "Not sleepy yet."
When she was abroad, this was the time when her inspiration burst forth and she was most efficient in revising the script.
"How have you been these past few years?"
Hearing his elder-like greeting, Wen Ci's breathing tightened, but she smiled sweetly. "I'm doing very well. During the five years I've been abroad, I completed my bachelor's and master's degrees at the Washington School of Film and Television Communications. I did very well and received the school's first-class scholarship every year. I also filmed three art films and won many new director awards in Washington."
Wen Ci unlocked her phone and showed Xie Peizhou the awards and certificates of honor she had received over the years, saying, "Uncle, I didn't embarrass you."
Xie Peizhou looked at Wen Ci's award-winning photo, and a flash of surprise crossed his black eyes.
At first, he forced her to go abroad, firstly to make her give up thinking about him, and secondly to let her go abroad to gild her reputation. He never thought that Wen Ci had done so well abroad in the past few years.
Xie Peizhou returned the phone to her with satisfaction, "Did you have a relationship abroad?"
For a moment, the bedroom was silent for a second.
Wen Ci finally understood why Xie Peizhou was so intimate with her, contrary to his usual behavior.
It turned out that he wanted to get closer to her and have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
She smiled calmly, "Well, we talked about it."
"We talked about it... When did we talk about it?"
Dark waves rolled in Xie Peizhou's eyes, and his voice became a little hoarse.
Wen Ci's tone was still sweet and sweet. "The first one was probably three months after I started school. He was a Chinese student like me. We dated for half a year and then broke up."
"The second one was during the winter break after the first semester. We met at an internship crew. He was Chinese American and we dated for about two years."
"I also met my third boyfriend on the set. He's an American."
"They are all around my age. I have photos here. Would you like to see them, uncle?"
Wen Ci walked over to Xie Peizhou, holding onto the bedside table, and showed him photos of herself with her "boyfriends." "This is the first one, with a buzz cut and black hair. This is the second one, with naturally curly hair. This is the third one, with amber eyes."
…
Second floor master bedroom balcony.
Xie Peizhou was smoking a cigarette, and the ashes in the ashtray had piled up into a small mountain.
He had even forgotten how embarrassed he was when he escaped from Wen Ci's bedroom.
The smoke enters the lungs, passes through the respiratory tract and is exhaled through the nostrils.
My heart felt an unbearable suffocation.
When Wen Ci was deeply in love with him and couldn't live without him, he coldly pushed her thousands of miles away. After she realized her feelings belatedly, Wen Ci had already fallen in love with someone else.
When Wen Ci showed him intimate photos of her with several of her ex-boyfriends, his heart felt like it was being roasted on fire.
He also asked: "When did you break up with your third boyfriend?"
Wen Ci replied: "Uncle, we are still in love and have not broken up."
In love.
No points.
Each word was like a hooked dart piercing his heart.
"——Love overcomes all difficulties. I returned to China to work because of the support policy for emerging directors. I believe in the relationship between me and my boyfriend."
The girl's gentle and confident voice echoed in his ears. Xie Peizhou closed his eyes, brought the cigarette to his lips, and took a deep puff.
"Squeak--" The phone vibrated. It was my good friend Lu Bingchen.
As soon as the call was connected, Lu Bingchen's teasing voice came, "I heard that Wen Ci has returned to China. Is someone's insomnia going to be cured?"
Xie Peizhou smoked a cigarette and said nothing.
The call was silent for a few seconds, and Lu Bingchen noticed something was wrong, "Could it be that our Wen Xiaoci has a new lover abroad?"
Xie Peizhou felt a sore throat when he heard this.
"For a moment, I don't know whether I should feel sorry for you or think you deserve it."
Lu Bingchen smiled and sighed, "Since we're brothers, I'll give you a 30% discount on tonight's psychotherapy session. Do you want to come?"
Lu Bingchen is a psychiatrist.
Since Wen Ci went abroad, Xie Peizhou has suffered from insomnia every night.
He went to Lingyin Temple to ask for Buddhist beads for sleeping, but it didn't work.
After enduring it for four years, the situation became increasingly serious. At the beginning of this year, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and went to Lu Bingchen's psychological clinic.
Lu Bingchen hypnotized him ten times, and all ten times were related to Wen Ci.
The diagnosis Lu Bingchen gave him was: [Lovesickness]
Treatment plan: [Go abroad to find Wen Ci for a romantic relationship]
The company is currently working on an important project. After Xie Peizhou finishes this project, he will go to Washington to find Wen Ci.
I didn't expect Wen Ci to come back early.
Moreover, she has completely let go of her past worries and started several new relationships.
-
Master bedroom on the third floor.
Wen Ci came out of the bathroom wrapped in plastic wrap after taking a shower and heard the sound of a car starting in the yard.
She walked to the bedside, holding the desk, and saw a black Maybach in the yard on the first floor, with its low beams on, slowly driving out of the villa gate.
The exclusive cell phone ringtone rang, and the note was "baby".
"Good morning, Mommy~"
My daughter's soft voice came from the other side of the ocean.
Wen Ci smiled softly. There is a 13-hour time difference between Beijing and Washington. Ten o'clock in the evening in China is exactly nine o'clock in the morning in Washington.
"Nian Nian, good morning. Have you had breakfast?"
"Eat! Today, my godmother cooked me some yellow millet porridge and eggs, but I didn't eat the egg yolks, hehe~"
Wen Ci smiled indulgently.
She did not say "Egg yolks are also nutritious, children should not be picky eaters", perhaps because she was influenced by Xie Peizhou.
She remembered that when she first came to Yushuiwan, she didn't eat egg yolks. Aunt Zhou advised her, saying, "Egg yolks are more nutritious. Xiaoci can't be picky about food."
Xie Peizhou just happened to come down from the second floor. He glanced at her calmly and said, "If you don't like it, don't eat it. You can make up for the nutrients you lack from other sources. Don't make it difficult for the child."
Wen Niannian stayed with her mother for a while, then asked expectantly, "Mommy, did you see Daddy after returning home? Does Daddy miss Nian Nian? When can Nian Nianan have a video call with Daddy?"
