☆, Chapter 4 Wen Yuming
About one in the morning.
Wen Yuci finished his work for the day and just turned off his computer when he heard the sound of a door closing downstairs.
At this time, Shu Wanning was the only one in the villa besides him. He slowly opened the door and stood in the corridor looking downstairs.
He saw Shu Wanning maneuvering the wheelchair downstairs, then he walked down the stairs lightly and followed her, and saw her open the refrigerator door in the kitchen.
She took out a piece of dessert from the refrigerator and ate it bite by bite. Wen Yuci behind her could only see her puffy cheeks.
Wen Yuci stared at her intently, trying to see if she was sleepwalking. When he saw her turn around and prepare to leave, he subconsciously hid himself.
Shu Wanning finished her dessert and slowly returned to her room. In the quiet living room, the only sound was the wheelchair rolling on the floor. Round and round, until the elevator reached the upper floors, Wen Yuci slowly walked up to the third floor.
The next morning, when Wen Yuci came downstairs, Aunt Jing was wiping the table. He asked her about what happened the night before, and Aunt Jing patted her leg and said, "You haven't been to Liyuan recently, so I forgot to tell you about this.
During the first few days after Miss Shu arrived at the park, I worried she might not be able to adapt, so I found a room on the first floor to keep her company. Then, starting from the second day, around 1 a.m., she emerged from her room and went to the kitchen to look for something to eat.
She didn't say why and I didn't ask, so I left some food in the refrigerator every day. Later I found that she would look for food at that time almost every night. I also told her yesterday that I would leave food in the refrigerator.
Wen Yuci nodded and signaled Aunt Jing to leave. He sat on the sofa with a slight smile on his lips. He really accidentally discovered her little secret.
When Shu Wanning went downstairs, Wen Yuci was still reading the newspaper in his hand. She stretched her neck slightly to look at him. In this era of information explosion, few people read newspapers.
He wore a dark grey shirt, buttoned up meticulously, with diamond cufflinks adorning the cuffs.
Noticing her gaze, Wen Yuci put down the newspaper and looked up at her: "Miss Shu, what's the matter?"
Before Shu Wanning could answer, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door, and then someone wailed: "Brother~Brother~Brother~"
Wen Yuci looked towards the door with disgust, and Shu Wanning saw a red-haired boy running towards Wen Yuci as if he was running for his life, and then he was stopped by him with his hand.
"Brother! I don't want to settle abroad! I want to stay in our capital! Please, persuade my mother!"
He howled loudly, and even had tears on his face. Wen Yuci handed him a tissue and said calmly, "That's your mother. I can't interfere with her decision."
The red-haired boy fell to the ground and hugged Wen Yuci's legs tightly, "Anyway, I won't go abroad with her!"
Shu Wanning felt that it was not appropriate for her to continue staying here, so she turned her wheelchair and prepared to leave quietly, but the red-haired boy suddenly looked up in her direction.
The moment he saw her, the young man wiped the tears from his face and stared at her face. After a moment, he suddenly pressed Wen Yuci's legs: "Oh my God, brother! I actually have a sister-in-law!"
The young man flashed in front of Shu Wanning, glanced at the gauze on her foot, and asked her with concern in his eyes, speaking very quickly:
"Sister, how old are you? Where do you live? What's your job? Who's pursuing whom, you or my brother? How long have you been together? How did your foot get hurt?"
Shu Wanning was frightened by the series of questions and stepped back. Wen Yuci, who was behind him, kicked him and said, "Wen Yuming, shut up!"
"Okay, bro."
The young man sat next to Wen Yuci. They had some similarities in their features, but they gave off completely different vibes. The young man had red hair, a black top, and overalls, and was full of vigor and energy.
Wen Yuci glanced at him coldly and said, "Miss Shu is a guest, please be polite." He stood up and continued, "If you want to stay here, it will be quiet."
Wen Yuci left the living room. The boy fixed his hair and smiled foolishly at Shu Wanning: "Hello, my name is Wen Yuming, I'm his younger brother, and I'm eighteen years old."
Shu Wanning nodded in response: "Hello, I'm Shu Wanning."
"How old are you, sister?"
"Twenty-three."
Wen Yuming stood up and walked around Shu Wanning, then bent down to look at her and asked seriously, "Sister Wanning, are you really not my brother's girlfriend?"
"Really not."
"Alas...that's such a pity."
Shu Wanning turned her wheelchair and wanted to leave, but fortunately Aunt Jing came to save her in time. At the dining table, Wen Yuming sat very close to Wen Yuci and kept complaining about how hard his life had been recently.
Wen Yuci endured for a long time, and finally said: "Wen Yuming, if you say one more word, I will throw you out.
"Okay, no need to talk, I'll shut up."
He closed his mouth but looked at Shu Wanning. Just as he was about to approach her, he saw Shu Wanning immediately put down her chopsticks and quickly leave the restaurant.
Wen Yuming touched the tip of his nose in dismay, then turned to look at Wen Yuci with a mysterious smile: "Brother, can you make Sister Wan Ning my sister-in-law?"
Wen Yuci's eyes twitched slightly, and his tone was filled with helplessness: "Why are you urging me to get married like grandma?"
Wen Yuming smiled and shook his head: "No, I just think you two look like a couple."
He sat next to Wen Yuci, rummaged in his pocket for a long time, took out a red brocade bag and handed it to him, smiling as if asking for credit: "Hey, brother, this is the amulet I got for you at the temple, remember to carry it with you."
Wen Yuci took it, his palms warm. He held the brocade bag tightly in his hands and nodded: "I understand."
He stood up and patted Wen Yuming on the head: "Haven't you always wanted that new sports car? I'll give it to you."
"Brother! You're so handsome!"
Wen Yuming jumped up from the sofa: "Thank you, brother! I'll go back to the old house to see grandma first. I look forward to your good news~"
He trotted into the car in the yard. Wen Yuci chuckled, picked up his coat, and went out. He was usually busy and didn't see Shu Wanning more than once a day. Only when he came back occasionally, he would see Shu Wanning lying on the rocking chair on the balcony, basking in the moonlight.
A week passed in a flash, and Shu Wanning's foot injury healed. When Wen Yuci returned home from get off work that day, Shu Wanning was waiting for him in the living room.
There was a suitcase beside her. When Wen Yuci entered, she stood up and said softly, "Thank you for taking care of me these days, Mr. Wen. My injury has healed, and it's time to leave."
Wen Yuci paused as he unbuttoned his suit, then said, "Well, I'll let Yan Hao take you home."
Shu Wanning bowed slightly and walked away. Wen Yuci took off his coat and put it on the sofa. His footsteps gradually moved away. Finally, he turned around and glanced at the white skirt at the door.
The car left Qianyue Bay and Shu Wanning lowered her head. These days, Aunt Jing had made her gain two kilograms of weight.
Yan Hao sent her to the downstairs of the apartment building. With the sound of the elevator going upstairs, Shu Wanning returned to the door of the apartment.
She opened the door and saw that the one-bedroom apartment was only 30 square meters. She put down the box and cleaned the dust caused by no one living there.
