Therefore, Ye Wenyu lost contact with Cai Wenchuan for the next six years. It wasn't until today, when he took the initiative to find her and reappeared in her world, that she saw him again.
As for her past life, she only contacted Cai Wenchuan during her sophomore year of college. By then, she was already Lin Tingfeng's woman and knew his true situation. Despite knowing she had loved him as a child, her vanity and pragmatism led her to bow to reality and choose Lin Tingfeng, resulting in a series of tragedies. Sigh—
In short, she was the one who wronged him in her past life, and in this life, she is determined to repay him properly!
Cai Wenchuan was unaware of Ye Wenyu's thoughts. He stood under the magnolia tree, head bowed, looking at her gently, and smiled at her, saying, "I've looked for many people. My parents said they moved away many years ago and they don't have your contact information anymore. So I went to the place where we used to live to look for your mother. But I heard from the neighbors that your mother sold the house and remarried."
Tears welled up in Ye Wenyu's eyes again, a warm feeling washing over her. To get his contact information, he had even gone back to his old home. And she? She wanted to contact him, but had done nothing.
He said he only made a phone call to her mother, speaking in a casual tone, but in reality, it took a lot of effort.
Tears streamed down Ye Wenyu's face, blurring her vision. She dared not look up, afraid her brother Wen would see. Yet, her heart was filled with gratitude and joy. How fortunate she was to have someone care for her like this, especially in her current tragic situation—homeless, unloved, and struggling to make ends meet.
Ye Wenyu clasped her hands tightly together at her sides. She thought to herself, "I will never forget this day in my entire life. Brother Wen, thank you for still caring about me after all these years apart!"
Cai Wenchuan continued, "I was very surprised and worried about you." As he said this, he felt a pang of heartache. A young girl, who had just graduated from high school and entered university, should have been enjoying her life to the fullest, but overnight she lost her home and financial support. Anyone who heard such a story would feel sorry for this girl.
Ye Wenyu quickly wiped away her tears, looked up, smiled in the moonlight, and said, "Thank you, it's nothing, it's fine."
Cai Wenchuan was silent for a while before continuing, "I was afraid you would have to drop out of school, so I wanted to find you as soon as possible, but I didn't have your phone number. I thought the only way was to find your parents, so I asked a neighbor in my hometown for their phone number and called them."
Ye Wenyu tried to smile and listened quietly.
It was a long and winding search process, yet he spoke of it as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
Cai Wenchuan looked at Wenyu with heartache in his eyes. He smiled sarcastically and said to her, "Call your dad. He has no idea that your mother remarried, nor does he know that you have been admitted to Q University. He said, 'Isn't Xiaoyu still in junior high school?' It's really ridiculous."
Ye Wenyu felt a sharp pang of sadness. Yes, she wasn't born from a rock; she had a father, but it was as if he didn't. He had forgotten her existence and hadn't fulfilled any of his responsibilities as a father over the years. Yet, she still smiled brightly, pretending not to care, and said, "My dad remarried and had another son. Life isn't easy for anyone these days. My mom told me that my dad was almost forty when he had this son, and he dotes on him. To raise this child, he works outside every day, and I heard he even works several jobs. It's very hard for him. It's not easy for him either."
Cai Wenchuan listened silently, feeling a warmth in his heart. He thought to himself that this girl was so good, so kind-hearted. Her father had forgotten her and ignored her completely, yet she not only didn't blame him, but also understood his difficulties. She had a heart of gold; she was truly a good girl.
Just then, a night breeze blew by, ruffling Ye Wenyu's dark hair. A few strands flew forward and scattered across her fair face. Cai Wenchuan couldn't help but reach out and gently tuck them behind her ears, whispering to her, "Your hair is messy."
His long, white fingers brushed across her exceptionally fair face, leaving a burning sensation wherever they touched. His fingertips trembled, his heart trembled, and even the moon overhead seemed to tremble. He didn't know if it was because of the long-awaited reunion or because they had both grown up, but his feelings for her had naturally changed.
Her heart was pounding, but she felt sweet inside, like she had candy in her mouth. Brother Wen still cared for her as before. The way he combed her hair was so familiar, as if he were still a high school student and she was still an elementary school student, as if she had never grown up.
Some people are like that; they grow up together as childhood sweethearts, and even without saying a word, just standing together fills their hearts with the joy of being together.
Time passed, and the two of them finally came to their senses, both blushing. Cai Wenchuan finally came to his senses, coughed, and quickly put his hands behind his back.
He continued, "Out of desperation, I had to call your mother. I finally got your contact information, and that's when I learned that she sold the house to get married and bought a new one. She didn't even save enough for your college tuition. Your mother—"
Cai Wenchuan was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't speak. He had never seen such bizarre and irresponsible parents in his life! He was shocked and furious. A girl who was only 19 years old had lost her home overnight, had no money, had just graduated from high school, and was about to go to university, yet her parents ignored her and abandoned her like this. He had never seen anything like it before, no, he had never even heard of it. How many abandoned children like this went astray, how many girls had to drop out of school? Q University, the best university in the country! If a child got into Q University, their parents would send them off with great fanfare. But the Ye family—
At that time, Cai Wenchuan, who was on the phone with Ye Wenyu, was so angry that he couldn't speak. Ye's mother began to complain, saying to him, "Xiaowen, I have no choice. I have suffered for half my life. Now Xiaoyu can only rely on herself. I know she is pitiful. Xiaowen, you have been good to Xiaoyu since she was a child. When you have time, go to the university to see her and help her."
What else could Cai Wenchuan say? He could only ask for Ye Wenyu's phone number, confirm Ye Wenyu's university major with Ye's mother, and then hang up. He couldn't get through to her, so he went to the business school and asked the person in charge of freshman registration about Xiaoyu. He finally found out which dormitory she lived in, and then went directly to the dormitory to find her.
