Ye Wenyu, eyes closed, pointed to the corner, her face ashen, and stammered, "Cat, cat—"
Cai Wenchuan went over to take a look and found that it was a dead cat. It had been dead for a long time and had become a dried-up corpse. It didn't smell particularly bad, but it was very scary.
No wonder she was so scared.
Cai Wenchuan gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'll clear it out."
Next, Ye Wenyu stood blankly on the cleaned floor while Cai Wenchuan finished cleaning all the remaining tasks by himself.
Two hours later, at 11 p.m., the room was finally clean. But seeing that Ye Wenyu was still as pale as a dead person, Cai Wenchuan thought for a moment and said to her, "How about this, Xiaoyu, you sleep in my room, and I'll sleep in this one."
Ye Wenyu felt a warmth in her heart, but she was embarrassed and couldn't agree. However, she really didn't want to sleep in this room with the dead cat. Perhaps the ghost of the dead cat would mistake her for its former owner and scare her by pressing down on her bed at night. Therefore, under Cai Wenchuan's insistence, she finally agreed.
Cai Wenchuan brought over a blanket. Ye Wenyu was sleeping in his room, but her body was tossing and turning like a pancake, and she couldn't sleep all night.
The next morning, the sunlight outside pierced through the window like a wedge. She stared blankly at the bright sunlight, lost in thought, thinking that even the brightest sun could not warm her or illuminate her dark world.
At that moment, upon hearing a knock on the door, Ye Wenyu got out of bed, dressed, and went to open it. Cai Wenchuan stood at the door with the breakfast he had bought outside, smiling slightly at her.
Ye Wenyu felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes inexplicably reddened.
At this time, it was fortunate that Brother Wen was by her side, giving her meticulous care. His care for her was like a torch in the winter night, dispelling the cold and clearing away the darkness.
Cai Wenchuan asked her gently, "Did you sleep well last night?"
She hadn't actually fallen asleep at all, but she still politely replied, "I slept well, thank you."
How can I sleep well when such a big thing suddenly happens in my life?
Cai Wenchuan handed breakfast to Ye Wenyu and said to her, "Want to have breakfast together?"
Ye Wenyu nodded, and the two went into the house and sat on chairs in the dining room. Sunlight streamed down in rays, like golden threads on a loom.
Cai Wenchuan took out clean bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, poured the breakfast he bought outside into the bowls, and placed the clean chopsticks on top of the bowls. The millet porridge emitted a steaming aroma, and the vegetable buns seemed to still be warm. Ye Wenyu sat opposite him, letting him take care of her.
Actually, she had no appetite at all and felt very heavy-hearted. Looking at the golden millet porridge in front of her, which looked very appetizing under the golden sunlight, she had no desire to eat. Cai Wenchuan said to her, "Let's eat."
Ye Wenyu nodded, picked up a small spoon and began to eat porridge. Cai Wenchuan watched as she repeatedly brought the empty spoon to her mouth without realizing it, and couldn't help but worry. Her big eyes were empty and lifeless, as if her soul had left her body.
Was yesterday's incident really that devastating for Xiaoyu? Did he make a mistake by agreeing to accompany Lin Tingyue to see Lin Tingxuan?
Cai Wenchuan's heart grew heavy, as heavy as the earth.
He composed himself, forced a smile, and greeted Ye Wenyu, "Xiaoyu—"
"Hmm?" Ye Wenyu looked up at Cai Wenchuan. She was still like a puppet on a string, with a mechanical expression and movements.
Cai Wenchuan smiled and asked her with concern, "Do you have class today?"
Classes? Only now did Ye Wenyu remember her identity; she was still a junior in college! She couldn't remember if she had classes today. It was as if what happened with Lin Tingxuan yesterday had formatted her entire life, leaving her mind blank.
Regardless, she had neither the mood nor the energy to attend class, so she lied and said, "I don't have class," regardless of whether she actually had class or not.
She's currently in a low mood, and in this state of mind, even if she forces herself to go to class, it'll probably be a waste of effort. Besides, her phone has been switched off since yesterday evening, and it's been almost fifteen hours since then. Lin Tingfeng can't contact her, so he's definitely looking for her all over the world.
If she goes to class and he goes to Q University like a madman, then her beloved campus will be the scene of another melodramatic soap opera! She doesn't want to be the female lead in another melodramatic soap opera, so the best way is to hide in this house and not go anywhere.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing her answer, Cai Wenchuan smiled and said, "That's great, I don't have class today either."
Ye Wenyu was stunned and looked at Cai Wenchuan in surprise, wondering why he suddenly spoke like that.
One is afraid to go to school, and the other doesn't have to go to work. Is it worth being so happy?
Cai Wenchuan composed himself and explained to her, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to visit your old house? Well then, let's go today."
Really? Ye Wenyu's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes lit up. Like a wounded animal, she was single-mindedly focused on returning to her old lair to lick her wounds, so she had a very strong desire to go back to her former home.
Ever since she discovered Lin Tingfeng's true colors yesterday, she has wanted to go back to her childhood and visit her old house.
So she forced a smile and nodded.
Cai Wenchuan smiled and advised her, "Then eat well, eat more. People need food to live, so you'll have the strength and energy on your way back to your hometown."
Ye Wenyu picked up the small spoon and said with a mischievous smile, "I've been eating the whole time."
Cai Wenchuan looked at her empty stainless steel spoon and corrected her, saying, "You've been eating air the whole time."
Ye Wenyu looked down and saw a full bowl of porridge and an empty spoon. Her face flushed, knowing that he had discovered her inner pain. Her small face turned hot and red, and she buried her head and ate her food.
Half an hour later, she finished the bowl of porridge, stood up and said to Cai Wenchuan, "I'm full, let's go."
I'm so eager to go home.
Cai Wenchuan nodded, and while cleaning up the leftover dishes from breakfast, he said to her, "Xiaoyu, it's a two-hour bus ride to our hometown, so I bought some snacks, fruit, and bottled water and put them in a bag on the sofa in the living room. Go and pack them up. Oh, and it's cold, so bring some extra clothes."
Ye Wenyu thought that her brother Wen was still as thoughtful and considerate as he was when they were children. She agreed and felt warm inside. She ran to the living room to find the bag he had mentioned.
The bag was full of her favorite fruits and snacks, including a type of shrimp cracker called "Mimi". It cost 50 cents a pack when she was a child, and it still costs 50 cents a pack now. It's amazing that more than ten years have passed, and it not only still exists, but the price hasn't increased either.
Holding a bag of Mimi shrimp chips, Ye Wenyu felt a warmth in her heart. Her brother Wen's feelings for her, like these little snacks, would always remain.
