Chapter 4 You are also beautiful, like me
It was almost 7:30 in the morning when Xie Yanwen drove back to the police station.
It was bright outside and people were coming and going on the street, but the entrance of the police station was still deserted. Except for the occasional staff member coming in and out, no one else would approach here casually.
From a distance, Xie Yanwen saw the little girl sitting on the steps outside the police station, hugging her knees and staring blankly at the door.
He hadn't hoped she would still be here. After all, it was daylight and she could go back to school by herself.
But she is still there.
She just sat here all night?
Are you still waiting for him?
Xie Yanwen slowly tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
Why are you so stupid?
Even if you have to wait, won’t you go in and wait?
After parking the car outside the police station gate, he did not get out immediately. He just frowned and turned his head to look in Xu Nianyi's direction.
She sat quietly, her dirty white dress and gray face, like a wilted gardenia.
But just as he stopped the car and looked at her, she also saw him, sat up straight in an instant, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Xie Yanwen could see clearly, and she started laughing again. The flowers that had wilted just now seemed to be watered by the clear spring water and instantly revived and bloomed.
It's really silly that you can still laugh.
Xie Yanwen was in a very complicated mood. He didn't delay any longer, opened the door, got out of the car and walked in front of her.
As he approached, she slowly raised her head, and when he stopped in front of her, her eyebrows curved, "I knew you would come back to pick me up."
According to Xie Yanwen's understanding of girls, at this time, they would probably have red eyes and look aggrieved, complaining about why he abandoned her and making him feel distressed.
But this little lunatic didn't.
She didn't seem to feel aggrieved at all and could even smile even after being abandoned.
But this made Xie Yanwen feel even more guilty.
The hands in his trouser pockets clenched into fists, he pursed his lips slightly, his Adam's apple slowly rolled twice, and he looked away uncomfortably, not looking into her sparkling eyes, "Don't be so self-indulgent."
Even before he rushed over, his heart was beating abnormally fast.
She had said something so accurately that was like a prophecy, and it had indeed succeeded in shaking Xie Yanwen's resolve.
Although it's ridiculous, maybe it's true?
Xie Yanwen couldn't describe how he felt right now, and this wasn't a good place to talk.
After two seconds of silence, he turned around and said calmly, "Get in the car."
Xu Nianyi looked at his back, her eyelashes flickering and the corners of her lips curved up.
She was indeed very happy. When she saw him, she couldn't control her happiness.
Although her heart ached as if it was torn apart when he leaned lazily against the wall and tilted his head towards her in the KTV last night.
At that moment, their eyes met, and Xu Nianyi's world was left with only this touch of color from him.
She clearly realized that the person in front of her was the 20-year-old Xie Yanwen, whom she had never seen before.
Xu Nianyi's father was Xie Yanwen's childhood friend. Her mother passed away for some reason shortly after she was born, and when she was 15 years old, her father also became seriously ill.
The Xu family had a complicated situation, and her father was worried about her, so he sent her to Xie Yanwen and asked him to take care of her.
At that time, Xie Yanwen was already 35 years old.
Although she looks like she is less than 30 years old, she has a strong aura, mature temperament and a strong sense of oppression.
As for Xie Yanwen when he was young, she had only seen him in photos.
But no matter how much I see, I can't imagine what he would look like when he was young and actually standing in front of me.
Until now.
She finally became convinced that she had returned 30 years ago, to when Xie Yanwen was 19 years old.
Xu Nianyi sat in the passenger seat and tilted his head to look at him beside him.
He didn't drive away immediately, perhaps still struggling with what to say to her. He crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and frowned slightly.
The leaves of the banyan tree by the road fluttered in the early autumn wind, and the morning sun poured in through his car window, landing on his hair and shoulders.
His profile was hidden in the sunlight, and there was fatigue and worry between his tightly closed brows.
In Xu Nianyi's eyes, this scene looked just like the yellowed old photos she had seen in her album.
Very familiar, yet very strange.
There doesn't seem to be much difference between him at 19 and him at 40, apart from his younger appearance, the only difference is his aura.
The years have not left too many traces of wear and tear on him. Now he does not feel particularly oppressed and is more relaxed and casual.
There was a strong youthfulness in his tangled brows and eyes, and his irritability was obvious.
This was probably an emotion he rarely had after he turned thirty, and after he turned forty, she almost never saw it again.
Xu Nianyi just looked at him, and as she looked, she wanted to laugh again.
That’s great.
The corners of her lips curved up, and her beautiful eyes became brighter.
Her gaze was too direct and burning, and Xie Yanwen's eyebrows twitched, and his mood became even weirder.
Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the way this girl looked at him. It wasn't like looking at her father, but more like a hungry wolf staring at a fat sheep.
Xie Yanwen originally wanted to think seriously about what she said and think about how to ask her so as not to appear as stupid as she was.
But with her looking at him like this, he really couldn't calm down and couldn't think properly.
He couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the little fool beside him, trying his best to maintain a calm and indifferent expression, "Why do you always look at me and smile?"
His eyes are also beautiful, naturally gentle, with pupils of clear amber. No matter how indifferent he appears, he still looks affectionate.
Xu Nianyi couldn't help but recall that from the time she came to him and until their divorce, he had always been very gentle to her.
He is the gentlest and most powerful Xie Yanwen.
Otherwise, at her tender age, she would not be seduced by an old man like him.
She thought, her eyebrows curved, and she praised him without any concealment, "Because you are so beautiful, I feel so happy when I see you."
Xie Yanwen: "...Thank you."
Of course he knew he was good-looking.
From childhood to adulthood, what he was most accustomed to was the obsessed look on women's faces when they looked at his face, which made him disgusted.
Xu Nianyi was obviously much more straightforward than anyone else, but strangely enough, Xie Yanwen didn't feel disgusted.
His eyes fell on her face.
Willow-shaped eyebrows, doe eyes, a tall and small nose bridge, and lips as delicate as roses.
It was rare for Xie Yanwen to look at a girl's appearance so carefully, and he found that she was indeed very beautiful as Jiang Yuan said.
I don’t know if it’s just his psychological effect.
As he watched, he felt a strange sense of familiarity in his heart.
Her pretty face seems quite familiar.
The eyebrows, nose bridge, and lips that he had just looked at one by one seemed to be quite similar to him, except for the eyes and facial contours.
She has standard doe eyes, dark and bright pupils, and soft and delicate facial features.
Maybe, like her mother?
He looked at her without saying anything, and Xu Nianyi let him look at her openly.
After a moment, Xie Yanwen said lightly: "You are also very beautiful."
After two seconds of silence, he inexplicably added two words: "Like me."
Xu Nianyi: “…”
Huh~
He really believed it.
