Wen Xianyue×Huo Lang
Shen Xing followed behind and saw Wen Xianyue, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Xianyue saw Shen Xing at the elevator entrance and asked in surprise, “Uncle Shen?”
"Since you've found it, go inside and talk. Don't stand here. I'm leaving first." Shen Xing said, "Remember to call Zhao Yan. He's also very anxious."
"Okay, uncle. Be careful on the road." Wen Xianyue still didn't figure out what was going on. Her cell phone was just out of battery, but so many people thought she was lost. It was really a big deal.
"Let's go inside and talk." Shen Yanshu pulled Wen Xianyue towards the door, his hands still shaking as he entered the password. He asked, "You know the password to my house, why don't you come in?"
"I'm afraid you won't come back." It's not good for me to go in. Wen Xianyue didn't say the second half of the sentence. She knew that Shen Yanshu would probably be furious if she said it.
"You're stupid." Shen Yanshu's voice rose. "You can go in even if I don't come back."
"I know." I knew Shen Yanshu would explode.
Wen Xianyue followed him in and said, "I'm going to charge my phone."
"The charger is in the bedroom."
"good."
Wen Xianyue went to the bedroom to charge her phone. Shen Yanshu sat on the sofa and relaxed.
She was about to call Wen Zhaoyan when she heard Wen Xianyue ask, "I just heard my uncle ask you to call my brother. Are you going to call my brother?"
"Well, if I can't get through to you, I'll call your brother."
Shen Yanshu remained calm. Wen Xianyue took a deep breath and said, "It's over."
When the call was connected, Shen Yanshu said, "Brother Zhao Yan, Yueyue is here with me. Her phone is out of battery."
Then he shouted towards the bedroom, "Yueyue! Do you want to talk to Brother Zhaoyan?"
Wen Xianyue walked over and cleared his throat: "Brother."
I couldn't tell how much emotion the other party had, "I'm glad you're okay. I'll go home tonight."
Wen Xianyue took a deep breath, feeling somewhat desperate, and said, "I understand."
Shen Yanshu said a few more words to Wen Zhaoyan and hung up the phone.
She drank the water Wen Xianyue handed her, and her mind gradually calmed down. Suddenly, she remembered what Wen Zhaoyan said and asked, "Yueyue, I heard from Brother Zhaoyan that you plan to go to the northwest to teach?"
Wen Xianyue suddenly choked on the water: "Wha...what? My brother knows?!"
"Yeah, he told me." Shen Yanshu asked, "So why did you suddenly want to go teach? Also, you looked weird today, are you hiding something from us?"
Wen Xianyue knew that this matter could not be concealed for long, but her brother finding out and telling her were two different things. Judging from her brother's tone just now, it was like the calm before the storm. She was doomed now.
She spoke slowly, "I saw the announcement for a teacher position and signed up."
Shen Yanshu looked at her for a long time, then she said, "You're lying."
Wen Xianyue was stunned, and looked at Shen Yanshu with a weak gaze.
"You are not good at lying, Yueyue. Once you lie, you will pretend to be firm." Shen Yanshu was very familiar with Wen Xianyue, and he had been reading about psychology during this period, so he had learned some real things.
She asked again, her tone heavier, "So why do you want to go to the Northwest to teach?"
After a long moment, Wen Xianyue nodded and said, "Xiaoshu, I didn't ask too much about your breakup with Jiang Heming before, so please don't ask too much this time, okay?"
Shen Yanshu immediately retorted: "That's different, Yueyue, I'm worried about you."
When Shen Xing was doing charity work before, Shen Yanshu had followed him to remote rural areas in the northwest twice. Some places were indeed remote, and some villages in the mountains could only be accessed on foot. The roads were difficult to remember, and the location could not be determined. After all, she was worried about Wen Xianyue going there.
"We went as a group, and I'm 26 and can take care of myself. I know my choices."
Wen Xianyue is a stubborn donkey. Once he makes up his mind to do something, ten oxen can't pull him back.
Shen Yanshu rubbed his brows and asked, "When are you going?"
"……tomorrow."
"What!?" Shen Yanshu stood up angrily, "It's not—you—"
Wen Xianyue grabbed Shen Yanshu's hand and coaxed her, "I came here today to tell you. Besides, it's not like I won't be back. I'll be back in about three months."
"Have you really thought it through?"
Wen Xianyue smiled and nodded, looking at her seriously, and said, "I've made up my mind. Don't worry, I'll send you a message every day to let you know I'm safe."
Wen Xianyue is like this, a natural idealist and optimist. When she was in college, she went to the countryside to teach and do volunteer work. After graduation, she continued to do charity work in her spare time. She still has scars on her arms from rescuing stray dogs.
"It's up to you, but remember to call me if anything happens." Shen Yanshu thought about what happened just now and was still a little scared: "I will never turn off the mute phone again."
"Okay. I promise you." Wen Xianyue patted her hands and agreed.
"There's one more thing...I need your help."
"What's up?"
"If Holland asks about me, just say you don't know or make up an excuse. Don't tell me where I am."
Shen Yanshu looked at her suspiciously, his mind racing, "Is it related to him?"
Wen Xianyue smiled and said nothing.
Judging from Wen Xianyue's reaction, I guess that's the case.
Shen Yanshu said: "Okay, I won't ask anymore. I support your decision as long as you are happy."
"Thank you."
"If you want to thank me, then take care of yourself." Shen Yanshu said, "Brother Zhao Yan wants you to go back. He will probably be angry. What are you going to do?"
"My brother is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but everything will be fine if I give in. He has been very busy lately and has no time to take care of me." Wen Zhaoyan is about to get promoted in position and does not have much time to take care of her.
"How is that possible? He would even drop his work to take care of you." Considering how much Wen Zhaoyan cares about Wen Xianyue, promotion at work is not that important.
"Maybe, but I'm grown up now, and I can't always rely on him to protect me." Wen Xianyue said, "I also want to protect him, but I don't have that much ability."
"As long as you are well, it means you are protecting Brother Zhao Yan."
Wen Xianyue smiled lightly and said, "Maybe."
Shortly after Wen Xianyue left, Shen Yanshu received news from Huo Lang. But someone who made Wen Xianyue avoid him even when she was teaching in the northwest couldn't be a good person.
Huo Lang: Did Yueyue come to see you?
Shen Yanshu was sitting on the sofa. The latest TV series was playing on TV. She leaned back on the sofa with a disgusted expression: No.
Huo Lang: I know she will contact you, can you tell me as soon as possible.
Shen Yanshu sneered and replied: I don’t know.
As soon as Shen Yanshu sent the message, Huo Lang called.
Shen Yanshu put the phone aside and slowly picked it up when the second ring was almost over. He said unhappily, "Hey, how could Master Huo have the leisure to call me? Isn't he wasting his time in some girl's arms?"
Huo Lang ignored Shen Yanshu's ridicule and said anxiously, "Since I helped you and Su Bai before, please help me this time."
After hearing what Huo Lang said, Shen Yanshu became more resolute in her decision. She sat up, looked at Wen Xianyue's water cup on the table, and said impatiently, "Tell me how you offended her first?"
Huo Lang: "..."
"Don't tell?"
"Did she tell you?"
"No."
Huo Lang's voice suddenly rose, and he said, "Shen Yanshu, I knew she had looked for you. Tell me where she is!"
Shen Yanshu was also furious. Because of this man, Wen Xianyue had to leave Ningcheng and go to a place where she might not even have a signal when she called. He was squatting pitifully at her door. When she returned, she would have to endure her brother's scolding. Thinking of this, the blood in her chest surged. She roared, "Why the hell should I tell you! Don't you know what you've done? Why did you provoke her with your cunning mind?"
Huo Lang was stunned by the shouting and asked in surprise, "You know?"
Shen Yanshu replied coldly: "My father guessed it. I now regret saying hello to you that day and letting you meet Yueyue. If she hadn't told me anything, I would have really beaten you up."
"Huo Lang, I don't know what happened between you, but this is the first time I've seen her like that. She was raised under the strict discipline of the Wen family, and every step she took was by the rules. She likes freedom and is easily influenced. She's never been in a relationship, so it's not surprising that she's attracted to someone like you, but that's no reason for you to bully her. So—either make amends or leave her."
"So you tell me where she went! I can't even find her now, how can I make up for it?" Huo Lang had no choice. Wen Xianyue had blocked him, and Wen Zhaoyan was even less likely to reveal Wen Xianyue's whereabouts to him. The only one left was Shen Yanshu.
Shen Yanshu said calmly: "She's gone."
Huo Lang, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, hurriedly asked, "Gone, where did he go?"
Since Wen Xianyue didn't let her say it, she wouldn't tell anyone. If Huo Lang really wanted to find her, he had plenty of ways to do it.
"She went abroad. I don't know the details. She didn't tell me, and she didn't let me tell you."
It's partly true, anyway, she really didn't let me tell you, and Shen Yanshu wouldn't lie, so I felt uneasy.
There was a clanging sound from the other end, and no one knew what had happened. All they could hear was Huo Lang yelling in pain, and heavy breathing coming from the receiver. His voice sounded a little sad, as if he was about to cry.
He asked, "Didn't she ask you to tell me?"
It doesn't sound like a question, but rather like a soliloquy.
"Yes, it was the first time I saw her like that. She must be really disappointed in you and very sad." Shen Yanshu's mind flashed with the scene of Wen Xianyue squatting at the door. The originally thin person looked shaky, and her eyes were full of loneliness. "But don't worry, Brother Zhao Yan will be fine with her."
She heard the voice on the other side repeat very quietly: "Don't you want me to find it?"
It seems that there is a big conflict between the two of them. What a bastard.
Having said that, this person was Su Bai's good friend after all, and had helped her before. Shen Yanshu asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
After a long time, Huo Lang replied, his voice hoarse: "...It's okay. If she contacts you, let me know. Thank you."
Then he hung up the phone.
Shen Yanshu sighed. Thinking of Wen Xianyue who was leaving Ningcheng tomorrow and felt a little lost in such a far place, she was still very worried.
She couldn't understand what Huo Lang had done to drive away Wen Xianyue, who was such a good-tempered person. Shen Yanshu now just wanted to kick Huo Lang a few times. This playboy was really not good at provoking people.
After a long time, Wen Xianyue sent a message: My brother agreed.
Shen Yanshu had fallen asleep on the bed and woke up when he heard his phone vibrate.
It's strange that Wen Zhaoyan agreed.
Shen Yanshu: He didn’t say much.
Wen Xianyue: No, he just told me to take good care of myself, but he kept a gloomy face, and I guess he would keep it gloomy until I left.
Shen Yanshu: What time do you leave tomorrow? I’ll see you off.
Wen Xianyue: No need, I’ll go with the team very early. If you can’t get up, I’ll message you when the time comes.
Shen Yanshu felt a little lost. Wen Xianyue grew up with her, and now she had to go to such a far place alone. She was hurt in love, and she couldn't help. She felt depressed.
She wiped her eyes and typed: Take good care of yourself.
Wen Xianyue: I will, and I will be back in three months.
But three months later, Wen Xianyue did not come back. She went further away, abroad, and continued teaching in countries along the Belt and Road.
As for Huo Lang, she didn't know where he had gone. She had only seen him in a disaster relief news report from one place in the country.
