sense of crisis
"Wen Yan, will your sister come to pick you up after evening study?"
Shen Guangxi's voice came from beside her. She was Wen Yan's deskmate.
"yes."
"Well, I actually still have a glimmer of hope of going home with you."
Wen Yan smiled apologetically, "Next time."
As they spoke, the two of them picked up their backpacks and walked out of the classroom together.
That year, Wen Yan was 14 years old and in the second grade of junior high school, while Wen Zhili was a freshman at Jiangnan University, a famous domestic university in Hangzhou.
In fact, Lu Wanqing had advised Wen Zhili that there was no need to pick up the children from school every day, as it was too tiring.
Wen Zhili had been going home by herself since she started elementary school. At the time, Lu Wanqing and Wen Jie were busy expanding their business. They hired a nanny to care for Wen Yan, then only two or three years old, and to cook for both children. Little Zhili had to go to school and come home by herself.
Wen Zhili just smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom."
Wen Zhili was in the same boat when she was choosing a university and a major. She'd already secured a recommended spot at Jiang University through an information competition, but her college entrance exam scores were still exceptional. That day, Wen Jie frowned slightly as he stared at her grades for a long time, then asked, "Your scores are good enough for Beicheng University. Are you really not going?"
Lu Wanqing chimed in, "Xiao Li, you don't have to stay here just because you're worried about your sister. Also, why are you studying computer science? That's so tiring. Wouldn't it be great to study business and run the company with Yanyan in the future? Although our company isn't a big one, it's more than enough to support the two of you. Don't look down on me and your dad being busy; it's still much easier than studying computer science."
Looking at Wen Yan again, she was pouting and lowering her head, clearly looking like, "Sister can obviously stay with me, why do you insist on making her leave?"
Wen Zhili chuckled and rubbed his sister's head.
"It's okay, Mom. I just want to be closer to you. You can leave the company to Yanyan from now on."
…
As you approach the school gate, you can easily see Wen Zhili standing with a group of parents.
She was wearing loose, light-colored jeans and a casual white shirt. Her straight black hair reached almost to her waist, and she had a warm smile. The sleeves of her shirt were casually rolled up twice, revealing a section of her fair, clean arm.
In her hand, she was holding a cup of Four Seasons Milk Tea with coconut milk jelly in it.
This is Wen Yan’s favorite drink.
“Your sister is really beautiful—although I have said it many times.” Shen Guangxi couldn’t help but sigh.
A beautiful woman in the general aesthetic.
She has a tall and slender figure and a gentle temperament.
The facial features are so soft and delicate that people feel a sense of respect and distance, thinking that it is "only to be admired from a distance and not to be touched".
She also has a pair of eyes that look very gentle when she smiles, and her pupils are as black and calm as ink.
Wen Yan smiled at Shen Guangxi with a little pride, said goodbye to her, and ran towards Wen Zhili.
"elder sister!"
Wen Yan was like this every day, greeting her sister with a bright smile. Her bright, round eyes, like a little deer, curved into crescents.
Wen Zhili also smiled, rubbed her head, took her schoolbag naturally, and waved to Shen Guangxi behind her.
Wen Yan took the cup of milk tea without hesitation.
"Why did you buy me Four Seasons Milk Tea today? Didn't you say you can't drink milk tea at night?"
"Don't want to drink?"
"I want to, I want to!"
Wen Zhili smiled and patted the top of her head again.
"Yanyan, what do you want for breakfast tomorrow?"
"I want to eat the sandwiches and soy milk my sister made. Is that okay?" Wen Yan asked with her little face raised.
"sure."
As they chatted, the two got into a white BMW 6 Series. This was a gift from her parents when Wen Zhili turned 18, and she took the driver's license test the summer after the college entrance examination.
The evening self-study class in junior high school doesn’t end until 9:30, and it’s almost 10 o’clock when I get home.
There was still no one at home. Wen Yan was used to it, but she still asked, "Mom and Dad haven't come back yet. Didn't they say they were away on a business trip for a week?"
"Well, it may have been delayed for a while. I guess I'll be back soon." Wen Zhili touched her head and helped her take off her school uniform jacket.
"Yanyan, go take a shower first. Give me your changed clothes and I'll wash them."
Wen Yan nodded and was about to go take a shower when her sister suddenly called her. She looked at her lips for a few seconds, then smiled helplessly and asked softly, "Yan Yan, didn't you put on lipstick at school?"
Hearing this, Wen Yan smiled guiltily, took out the lipstick that her sister had put in her school uniform pocket that morning, opened it and was about to apply it on her lips when she suddenly stopped.
"Sister, help me wipe it."
She handed the lipstick to her sister and tilted her head deliberately.
Wen Zhili couldn't help laughing, took the lipstick and gently pressed it against her soft lips.
"Okay, for your cuteness's sake," she whispered.
…
The next day, Wen Yan was gently awakened by her sister as usual.
"Yanyan, the sandwiches are on the table. Be quiet when you wash up later. Mom and Dad came back last night and are still sleeping."
"I understand...sister..." Wen Yan responded.
After staying in bed for a while, I finally got up and brushed my teeth and washed my face in a daze.
Wen Zhili, who was passing by the bathroom, couldn't help but laugh when he saw his sister in the mirror whose eyes were still closed.
"Yanyan, your hair has become like a chicken coop."
Wen Zhili walked into the bathroom, wet his hands, and carefully helped her smooth her bangs.
Wen Yan squinted his eyes and smiled, as if he was enjoying it very much.
After breakfast, Wen Zhili drove Wen Yan to school.
On the way, Wen Yan asked her: "Sister, don't people say that college students are lazy? How about I go to school by myself in the future, and you can sleep a little longer in the morning."
"If I sleep a little longer, will you still be able to get up and go to school?" Wen Zhili raised his eyebrows and teased her with a smile.
Wen Yan curled her lips and was about to argue when she heard Wen Zhili say, "It's okay. This will just help me get more regular."
As he spoke, the car had already stopped steadily at the school gate.
Wen Yan smiled, "Sister, you are the best to me."
After saying that, he leaned over and kissed Wen Zhili on the cheek, then jumped out of the car before waiting for the other party to react.
Wen Zhili was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she only saw her sister running into the school while smiling and waving at her.
She curled her lips unconsciously, her heart softening.
Just a few steps into the campus, Shen Guangxi suddenly came over to Wen Yan.
"I just saw it."
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow, "What did you see?"
"You kissed your sister in the car just now when you got out, and the window was not closed."
"Oh, what's the big deal?"
Although she said it was nothing, Wen Yan still secretly felt a little embarrassed. She didn't usually do this to her sister. It was just that she couldn't help herself just now.
“Tsk tsk.” Shen Guangxi shook his head, “You’re so clingy to your sister, if she finds a boyfriend in college, you’re done.”
This sentence was like a heavy hammer to Wen Yan.
She just opened her lips in vain, not knowing what to say in response.
Wen Yan spent the whole day thinking about this question in a daze.
Even the ugly guys in my school can change girlfriends several times in a semester. Since my sister is so beautiful, it must be easy for her to find a boyfriend in college.
What should I do if my sister finds a boyfriend?
Although she felt her parents loved her as much as her sister, they were extremely busy. Her sister said that it was after she was born that her parents started to become like this, becoming busier and busier day by day, working non-stop.
In Wen Yan's memory, she spent more time with her sister than with her parents.
When she was one, her older sister taught her to talk and walked with her. If she fell, her older sister was always the first to hug her and soothe her softly. Then came her parents.
When she was 3, her parents became extremely busy at work, leaving her and her older sister alone in the house, along with an aunt who only showed up during the day. She began to cry often, often asking, "Sister, will you always be with me?"
My sister always answered yes without hesitation. During that time, she could always eat two small cakes bought by my aunt every day.
When she was 7 years old, her sister went to junior high school and had to live in the school dormitory. The night before she left, she hid in the quilt and cried.
My sister got into her bed and gently wiped away her tears.
"Don't you want me to leave? Yanyan."
My sister's tone was gentle and childish.
She sobbed and answered yes. Her sister patted her on the back and said, "Okay, then I won't leave. I'll go tell Mom and Dad."
So the next night, my sister really showed up at home again, and she never lived on campus until she went to college.
When he was 9 years old, his father’s college roommate brought his son to their house to play.
The little boy was about the same age as Wen Yan. He threw her doll to the ground and was stopped by his sister Wen Sheng.
As a result, he said angrily: "This is Wen Yan's home, not yours!"
Before her sister could react, she rushed over and started wrestling with the boy.
After being pulled away by the adults, her sister helped her wipe the blood from her nose with concern and asked her if it hurt and whether she was stupid.
She just shook her head. It was the first time she had ever fought with anyone in her life, and it was also the first time she had seen her sister cry.
At 10, she was already much more sensible, but she still clung to her sister every day. Her parents teased her, asking her if she would be so sad that she would cry every day if her sister and brother-in-law left.
She thought seriously for a while and said, "If my sister must go with her brother-in-law, then I will be her brother-in-law."
Both parents were smiling happily, but her sister smiled and nodded seriously at her.
At the age of 13, she experienced her first period and her parents were not at home.
Her sister blushed and told her how to use sanitary napkins, not to drink cold water, and helped her wash the blood-stained sheets.
It was her sister who held her in her arms and soothed her tenderly during those nights when her lower abdomen ached. Even when she bit her shoulder in agony, her sister would only smile softly, teasing her if she was a puppy.
Even my own underwear was bought by my sister.
Wen Yan still remembers that Wen Zhili was watching TV with her on the sofa at that time.
As soon as Mom and Dad came back, my sister whispered to Mom while Dad was in the bathroom, "Mom, I think Yanyan seems to be starting to develop."
Lu Wanqing paused for two seconds, glanced at Wen Yan, and said, "Yan Yan is at this age now, I will choose a small vest for her tonight."
Wen Zhili gently squeezed his mother's hand.
"Mom, let me do this from now on. I stay with Yanyan every day, so it's convenient for me to observe her size and change it in time."
Thinking of this, Wen Yan's little face suddenly turned red.
The first word Wen Yan said in her life was "sister".
The one who grew up with her was her older sister.
A sister who always responds to her requests and is always gentle and considerate.
Wen Yan has lived her entire life so far under the care of her sister, and she naturally thinks that her life will be the same in the future.
Today, Shen Guangxi's words made her realize that her sister was already a college student—the kind of college student that adults said would be missing out if they didn't fall in love during college.
What would she do if her sister got a boyfriend? She couldn't accept that another man would appear beside her sister and take away the tenderness that originally belonged to her alone.
I thought about it for a whole day, but there was no good solution.
…
After school in the evening, Wen Zhili saw Wen Yan and Shen Guangxi walking towards the school gate from afar.
What was unusual was that there was a boy walking beside Wen Yan today.
The boy was probably about 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a strong build.
Walking next to Wen Yan, she looked very small.
Wen Zhili narrowed his eyes and immediately realized the boy's intention towards his sister.
He kept smiling and talking, circling around Wen Yan. Wen Yan, on the other hand, had a calm expression, holding Shen Guangxi's arm all the time, and even had a subtle annoyance.
That's right. My sister has grown to the height of my chin in the blink of an eye.
She has fair and small cheeks, a soft and lovely smile, and a pair of big double-lidded almond-shaped eyes.
Whenever my sister looks at me with those charming eyes, I can't help but feel soft-hearted.
What about little boys of this age?
Wen Yan ran to Wen Zhili happily as usual.
"elder sister."
"Well, let's go home." Wen Zhili looked calm.
She took her schoolbag and waved to Shen Guangxi. She glanced at the boy behind Wen Yan one last time, and the two of them walked out.
Very dark, with a big face and small eyes.
Wen Yan was a little confused. Why didn’t her sister snore today?
The look in his eyes when he looked at me seemed to be filled with... mixed emotions?
Sitting in the car, Wen Zhili suddenly said: "Yanyan, are there any boys in school who like you?"
Wen Yan thought of Li Hao who was just beside her, and instantly understood what her sister wanted to say.
"Sister, are you trying to ask about the guy next to me? I don't know if he likes me, maybe a little."
“What about you?”
"Yanyan... do you like him?" Wen Zhili asked hesitantly.
Wen Yan opened her mouth to say that she didn't like it, but suddenly stopped and rolled her eyes.
"Sister, what does it feel like to like someone?"
Wen Zhili was speechless, his mind racing as to how to respond.
"Hmm... maybe it's because you want to be with that person every day? Do you want to share the good things you think are good with that person?"
Wen Zhili didn't know, she just heard these from her friends.
I want to be with that person every day, and I want to share with that person anything good that I think is good.
Isn’t this my sister?
Wen Yan was frightened by this strange idea that suddenly popped up in his mind, and quickly suppressed it.
"So, has Sister ever had someone she likes?"
"No."
"Sister, do you want to find a boyfriend now?"
"No." Wen Zhili was a little confused and took his attention away from driving to glance at her. "Why do you want to ask these questions today?"
Wen Yan pursed her lips and spoke nervously: "Sister, let's make a deal. If you have someone you like, you must tell them, okay?"
When Wen Zhili heard this, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Of course, Yanyan."
