"Are you... okay?"

Wenwan shook her head.

"Nothing. I just suddenly felt like drinking."

As he said this, he walked over, opened the refrigerator door, and took out two cans of beer.

Turned to look at Chen Fan.

"Is it icy?"

Chen Fan nodded, reached out to take the beer, and the two sat down next to each other on the sofa, keeping a safe distance from each other.

Bang!

Chen Fan opened the pull ring, took a sip, and turned to look at Wen Wan opposite him.

The other person lowered his head and sipped his beer.

It was obvious that he had no intention of speaking.

Chen Fan didn't quite understand what this woman meant.

So he didn't say anything either.

The two of them sat on the sofa, taking turns to drink, and soon finished a can of beer.

Chen Fan glanced at the other person, stood up, walked to the refrigerator, opened the door and took a look.

There were six cans of beer in it, and Chen Fan took them all out.

Walk back and put it on the coffee table.

Before Chen Fan could say anything, Wen Wan had already reached out, picked up a can, opened it and started drinking.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan understood.

This woman is worried.

"Teacher Wen..."

Wen Wan suddenly said, "Don't call me Teacher Wen at home from now on."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly. What else could he call if not teacher?

Should I call you Wanwan?

I estimated that I would be kicked out of the house in the next second.

"Are you worried about something?"

Wenwan shook her head, then nodded.

He lowered his head and drank silently.

Chen Fan sighed inwardly, but finally spoke first.

"If... you don't mind, you can tell me. I'll keep it a secret for you."

Wen Wan looked up at Chen Fan and suddenly grinned.

"Little guy, you've even learned how to comfort others."

"But I'm a lot stronger than you think. I'm fine."

Chen Fan was a little embarrassed and had to lower his head and drink to cover up his embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Wen Wan actually spoke.

"My father and mother went to college in Beijing. As college students, they were a couple that countless people envied."

"After they graduated, my mother was assigned to Yunhai, and my father gave up the opportunity to study abroad and followed."

"Since then, the two of them have been teaching at this school for more than four decades..."

Seeing Wen Wan opened up the conversation, Chen Fan did not say anything, but just quietly listened.

"Until my father passed away and my mother got Alzheimer's disease, I had no choice but to apply to transfer my job to Yunhai University and take care of my mother while working..."

Chen Fan raised his beer and said, "You... have had a hard time. I toast to you."

Wenwan glanced at Chen Fan lightly and lowered her head to drink.

Chen Fan thought of something and asked, "I remember you studied film and television directing in college?"

She smiled gently, a very confident smile.

"Before I came here to teach, I was also involved in the entertainment industry. I was a screenwriter, director, and actor. I have worked in everything..."

Chen Fan's eyes suddenly widened.

"Aren't you a big star then? Can we see your works on TV?"

Wen Wan showed an awkward smile for the first time and shook her head.

"When I was in college, my academic performance was always the best in the school, and I also had dreams."

"But when I really stepped into society, I found that dreams were so ridiculous in the face of reality."

Wenwan stared at Chen Fan with burning eyes. Because she had drunk some wine, a blush appeared on her fair face, which looked very beautiful.

"Want to be a director? Without capital support, no one would dare to hire you."

"As for being a screenwriter or actor, if you don't have connections, you'll never be able to really enter this circle..."

"I prefer teaching quietly to the stinking cesspool that is the entertainment industry. Unfortunately..."

Wenwan shook her head, a hint of fatigue flashing in her eyes.

Chen Fan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Wen Wan had so much experience before coming to Yunhai University to teach.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be in a bad mood, Chen Fan took the initiative to comfort him.

"Being a teacher is actually pretty good. You spend time with your mom and teach her every day, isn't that good?"

Wenwan lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

"That's good. But... I'm afraid there won't be such opportunities anymore in the future."

Chen Fan was stunned and looked over in surprise, not quite understanding what this meant.

Wen Wan took a deep breath, looked up at Chen Fan, and suddenly smiled.

"I have a question for you. Please tell me the truth."

Chen Fan thought about it and nodded.

"good."

"You haven't come back to stay this week. Is it because of me?"

Chen Fan quickly said: "Actually I..."

Wenwan: "Tell the truth."

"Yes." Chen Fan smiled bitterly.

With a gentle and faint smile, this woman must have been a little tipsy, her eyes were hazy and her smile was really charming.

"In fact, I saw that a long time ago."

"But... you don't have to worry about this from now on."

"I'll be moving out in a few days."

"ah?"

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment.

"You want to move?"

Wenwan shook her head, picked up the beer and took a sip.

"I'm wrong. I'm not actually moving. I'm selling my house."

"I should have said sorry to you."

"I just rented a house here, but I have to sell it after just a few days. I'm really sorry."

Chen Fan, however, looked puzzled.

“Why do you want to sell your house? Is it because it’s inconvenient for me to live here?”

"It has nothing to do with you!" Wen Wan shook her head.

"My mother's condition is getting better and worse, and her time spent awake is getting shorter and shorter. Some time ago, she told me that she wanted to go to Beijing again while she was still awake, to visit the place where she and my father knew each other, and to go to the school where she studied..."

"I want to sell the house to raise money and take my mother to a big hospital in Beijing for treatment."

Wen Wan looked at Chen Fan apologetically.

"sorry."

"I will return the rent to you tomorrow..."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly, "Even if I go to Beijing to see a doctor, there's no need to sell the house, right?"

"Are you not coming back? Where will you live when you come back to teach? Are you going to rent a new house?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment and said tentatively: "If you are really short of money..."

"Not coming back."

Before he could finish his words, Wen Wan's words completely stunned Chen Fan.

"Not coming back?"

"Then what's the job here..."

Wenwan held the can in her hands, staring blankly at the wall opposite the living room, where a landscape painting was hung.

Her voice sounded like she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"I have quit my job."

Chen Fan: “…”

“Is this decision too hasty?”

Wenwan shook her head, unwilling to continue this topic.

"Let me tell you. You look very young but you seem to be very shrewd. I can see that you have your own worries...

Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "Are you complimenting me or scolding me?"

Wen Wan glared at him and said, "Of course it's an exaggeration! Sister, I am very good at complimenting people."

I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, but her gentle tone has become more lively, and she's no longer as cold as she was a while ago.

Seeing that Chen Fan didn't say anything, Wenwan curled her lips.

"I don't want to say it, forget it."

Chen Fan shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to say it, I just haven't figured out how to say it yet."

She smiled gently, "Then think about it slowly. Today, just think of it as a conversation between an older sister and a younger brother."

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He took a deep breath, then picked up the can in his hand and drank the rest of the beer in one gulp.

He raised his hand and threw it accurately into the trash can opposite.

Only then did Chen Fan turn his head and look over.

"Do you believe in reincarnation?"

Wen Wan: “…”
