Chapter 8 Wen Ran is loved by someone
Chapter 8
I don’t know whether Yan Jue slept yesterday or not, but Wen Xi herself was so embarrassed that she couldn’t sleep. She went to the bathroom and took a cold shower, and didn’t fall asleep until almost four o’clock.
Wenxi woke up at 9:30 in the morning. Fortunately, he had no plans in the morning, which gave him plenty of time to catch up on his sleep. After tidying up the guest room and cleaning the whole house carefully, Wenxi left a good message for Mingyao and left the rental house.
Ming Yao currently lives in an old residential area, very close to the Niye Club and the subway station. There are many breakfast shops downstairs, mainly serving residents of the community. Although it was almost noon, Wenxi looked around and found a shop selling soup dumplings. He bought a tray of soup dumplings and a bowl of white fungus soup, which was considered a breakfast solution.
Before eating, he took a photo and sent it to Yanjue.
[Streams become seas]: [Picture.]
[Stream into the sea]: Good morning\(^o^)/~
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: Brother, remember to have breakfast.
Glancing over the chat history, especially the videos, his memories came back to him and Wen Xi felt his scalp tingling with embarrassment.
However, Yan Jue did not reply immediately. Considering that the other party was busy with work, he should not have slept yet or had just slept for a while. Wen Xi left two messages and did not send any more messages.
He bent down to pick up the soup dumpling, and the soup filled his mouth. Wen Xi came back to life and then thought of Yan Jue calling him a pig, and snorted in dissatisfaction.
Wen Xi took out his phone again, clicked on Yan Jue's homepage, and added a pig head emoji after his name in dissatisfaction.
It was already ten o'clock after dinner. Wen Xi had made an appointment with the kindergarten teacher Yang yesterday to visit Wen Ran today. On his way to the subway station, he received a call from Yan Hesu.
"Wenxi, where is he now?" It sounded very chaotic over there with Yan and Su, with many men and women screaming.
"At Chunxihe Station, about to enter the subway. Why is it so noisy over there?"
"I'm in Tianji City now. My ex-girlfriend is a fan of celebrities. Today, the movie star couple she likes happened to have a fan meeting here. I took her backstage to get an autograph and take a photo with them."
Wenxi remembered that Yan and Su had just broken up three days ago, and she didn't know if they had reconnected, let alone which ex-girlfriend he was talking about. She blinked and said, "You're pretty nice to your ex."
"Isn't it normal for me to take a photo with you after a conversation with you?" Yan Hesu said with a sigh, "Am I not nice to you? I even asked for a signed photo for you when you asked for it."
"Okay." Wen Xi was puzzled, not really understanding these words: "What does to sign mean?"
"It's a signed photo with your name on it, just for you. I asked for ten of them for you. If you don't like them, you can keep them as bookmarks."
"I will definitely keep it carefully if it is written by someone else. But thank you for giving me a copy." Wenxi entered the station by swiping the gate: "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I will hang up."
"You didn't come back to school yesterday, so I asked you if you wanted to go to school together. I could give you a ride so I could save you the travel expenses."
Wen Xi looked at the No. 6 line that was parked right in front of her: "It's too late, the train has already arrived. And I'm not going back to school. Ran Ran called and said she missed me. I'll go and accompany her while I have a day off today."
"Wait a moment." After a pause, Wenxi heard footsteps. Yan Hesu said, "Then don't leave when you get off at Minzu Street Station. I'll go see Ranran with you. It's been two months since we last met. I wonder if you still remember me."
Wenxi's roommates all knew that he had a younger sister. The three roommates were two years older than Wenxi and usually treated him like their own younger brother. Knowing that Wenxi was raising Wen Ran alone, they were even more concerned about him. Sometimes, the dormitory team building would first go to the kindergarten to see his sister together, and then go out to play.
Wen Xi is the best friend in the dormitory because he is in the same club as Yan and Su, and their grades are similar. They are in the same team for various group assignments and competitions. Wen Xi sees Wen Ran every day and often goes together.
"Okay, how could I not remember you? Ranran asked me yesterday if you were going. But I forgot about it when I got busy." Wenxi got in the car and sat down: "But what about your ex-girlfriend? Are you bringing her here instead of sending her back?"
Yan Hesu: "She is with her friends, I will reimburse her 200 yuan taxi fare, but I am not responsible for her going back to school."
"That's fine, as long as we can ensure their safety." Wen Xi looked up at the station and said, "Then I'll wait for you to hang up first, and be careful on the road."
Twenty minutes later, Wenxi exited the subway station.
Yan Hesu was already waiting in the roadside parking lot in his flashy red Maserati. He saw Wenxi coming out of the subway station and waved from afar.
"This way, Wenxi."
Wen Xi sat in the passenger seat with ease. Seeing Yan and Su in casual clothes and with short hair styles, she exclaimed, "Wow, you actually pull off a short hair style so well. Ning Haoyu cried when he failed to get a short hair style last time. He will cry again when you go back to the dormitory."
"Call him, it's not like Chen Qiao won't coax him." Yan Hesu took off his sunglasses, very satisfied with Wen Xi's reaction, and started the car, "There's nothing we can do, after all, he's handsome."
Wen Xi: "...So narcissistic."
"Here, autographed photos." Yan Hesu handed Wen Xi a stack of photos, which felt like there were about twenty of them.
"so much?"
"You get ten, and Chen Qiao and Ning Zi get five each."
Wen Xi looked at each of the signatures carefully. The signatures were all very serious, with everything from academics, career, health and marriage being mentioned. The two movie kings' intimate poses showed that they had a very good relationship.
"After ten years, we are still a model couple. It's great." Wen Xi sighed, carefully collected the autographed photo, and put it between two books in his schoolbag: "Thank you for your hard work."
Yan and Su: "It's just a small matter."

The subway station is only a fifteen-minute drive from Xiu Lun Full-time Kindergarten. Wen Xi, Yan and Su chatted casually and soon arrived at their destination.
After parking the car and handing over the snacks, fruits, new clothes, etc. they brought to the life teacher, Wen Xiyan and Su walked towards the parent reception room with ease.
Wen Ran had been waiting inside early, with her hair in pigtails and a small butterfly hairpin on each side. Her eyes lit up when she saw Wen Xi come in.
"elder brother!"
Wen Ran ran very fast, like a little butterfly, straight towards Wen Xi. She jumped suddenly and was stopped by Wen Xi. She hugged her brother's neck and called him brother. She couldn't control her tears after saying one word.
"Wuwu——Brother, I miss you so much——"
"Don't you want me anymore? Why did you take so long to come and see me - woo woo -"
"Brother, Ranran misses you so much——"
Wenxi's mother died of cancer and her father was a compulsive gambler. When Wenxi was in the first year of high school, he ran away abroad with a lot of debts, leaving the brother and sister to depend on each other.
Wenxi has been taking care of his sister alone since then, relying on help from the neighbors and applying for the five-guarantee household. He has strived for all kinds of scholarships, subsidies and donations for school. Reputation is not a big deal to Wenxi. As long as he is with his sister, he has hope for the future.
When Wen Xi was sixteen, or fifteen and a half to be exact, he skipped a grade and was admitted to Yunjia University. After that, with the help of others, Wen Xi sold the old house where he had lived for more than ten years and came to the unfamiliar city A with his two-year-old sister. Because he could not take good care of Wen Ran in college, Wen Xi chose to pay the tuition of Xiu Lun's full-time care with the more than 400,000 yuan from the sale of the house. As for his own life and the debt owed by his father that he was forced to pay, Wen Xi chose to continue to apply for subsidized student loans, study hard to get scholarships and competition bonuses, and work various part-time jobs to maintain a peaceful life.
When Wenxi took the college entrance examination, his family was in a mess. His teacher helped him fill out his application. When he received his admission letter, he found out that Yunjia University was in the super first-tier city A. Many kindergartens in City A require local hukou or proof of residence for several years. Wenxi is an outsider and can only go to private kindergartens. Xiulun Full-time Kindergarten is already the most cost-effective private full-time kindergarten in City A, but more than 400,000 yuan can only support the three years of the small class, small class and medium class. In order to pay for Wen Ran's tuition for the large class, Wenxi had no choice but to find his fellow countryman and friend Ming Yao, and use his connections to get him into the Niye Club.
Fortunately, he met Yan Jue soon, and the tip Yan Jue gave him was enough for Wen Ran to spend the next year without worries.
Although Wen Xi has no family to protect and love him, Wen Ran has him.
Although life is difficult and miserable, Wenxi still wants to give his sister the best.
Wen Ran inherited her parents' excellent genes for appearance. She has been a beauty since she was young. She is usually very strong. Her teacher commented that she is a very obedient, smart and dexterous child. But she hasn't seen her brother for too long, and even the strongest child will be afraid. Wen Ran was afraid that Wen Xi didn't want her anymore, and she couldn't help crying.
Wen Ran hugged Wen Xi's neck tightly, as if she was afraid that Wen Xi would not want her. Her tears as big as beans rolled down Wen Xi's neck, one after another, hitting Wen Xi's neck and sliding down to her heart. The hot tears made Wen Xi's heart ache.
"I'm sorry, Ranran." Wen Xi patted Wen Ran on the back and coaxed her in a panic: "Brother is wrong, brother should have come to see you earlier."
Wen Ran didn't cry loudly. Except for a few words at the beginning, she just kept crying. Wen Xi was so distressed that he hugged Ran Ran and comforted her. Yan and Su were also frightened by her and stood behind her, wiping Wen Ran's tears.
It took the two of them ten minutes of coaxing before Wen Ran could calm down.
Wen Xi used to come once a week, but this time he was too busy. He worked so hard every day that he only had time for half a month. Even if Wen Ran was sensible, she couldn't stand not seeing her brother for half a month. This time she was really scared.
"It's okay, I... I know my brother is busy studying..." Wen Ran stopped crying, but still couldn't control sobbing, with red nose and eyes: "Ran Ran just misses you too much... Brother is too busy, can you call Ran Ran?"
"RanRan will be obedient."
Wen Xi was so soft-hearted when he heard this that he squatted in front of Wen Ran, slowly wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and made a promise: "Brother promises to come to see you every week, okay? I'll call you every two days. If I don't call you or come to see you, and you miss me, just call Teacher An, and I'll come to see you when I know, okay?"
Wen Ran said in a muffled voice: "Really?"
Wen Xi held up his little finger: "Of course it's true, brother never lies to Ran Ran. Pinky promise, whoever lies is a puppy."
Yan and Su squatted down and coaxed him, "Really? Ranran loves her brother the most, right? You have to remember that no one in the world loves you more than Brother Wenxi."
Wen Ran nodded heavily and stretched out her little finger to pinky promise with Wen Xi.
"We'll make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years."
The little girl's sensible and obedient appearance made people feel very distressed. The moment his fingers clasped Wen Xi's fingertips, he almost couldn't hold back his emotions.
"Ranran is awesome," Yan Hesu handed the rocket model that he had hidden for a long time to Wen Ran, "Dang dang dang! Look what this is!"
Wen Ran's eyes lit up when she saw the rocket model. She hugged the rocket model and smiled happily: "It's the Long March 2! Thank you and Brother Su!"
Yan Hesu rubbed Wen Ran's head: "As long as you like it."
Wen Xi breathed a sigh of relief when her sister finally smiled.
Wen Xi, Yan and Su played with Wen Ran for an hour and a half, and even borrowed the kindergarten's parent kitchen to cook her sister's favorite dishes. They stayed with her until one o'clock, and only then did Wen Ran reluctantly follow the teacher to bed.
"Brother will come to see you next week."
Wen Ran hugged the big rocket and stopped crying. She looked very excited and nodded heavily: "Bye, brother!"
"Bye bye Brother Su!"
Wen Ran went to take a nap, and Wen Xi communicated with Wen Ran's class teacher, Ms. Yang, and the life teacher, Ms. An, until two o'clock in the afternoon. After learning that Wen Ran's recent indicators were all excellent, Wen Xi finally left Xiu Lun full-time kindergarten.

In fact, Wen Xi had been trying hard to hold back her tears in kindergarten. When she got on the bus and Wen Ran was gone, although Wen Xi did not shed tears, her eyes were red.
How can you say they are brother and sister? When Wenxi is sad, they look like the little girl, with red nose and eyes, biting his lips and trying not to let the tears fall. It is more heartbreaking than the tears of ordinary people.
Yan Hesu was a little at a loss for a moment when he saw him being sad in silence. He had coaxed many girls before and was even good at it, but this was the first time that his brother cried.
Yan Hesu pulled out a piece of paper and spoke dryly: "Wenxi, don't blame yourself, you have tried your best. It's true that you have been too busy recently with your part-time job and various competitions."
"We should have come over to see you too. Next time if you don't have time, I'll ask Chen Qiaoning Haoyu to come over and play with Ranran for you."
Wen Xi: "It's okay, I'll just adjust the time later."
Yan Hesu handed him a tissue: "You are really great now. Much better than me."
Wen Xi took the tissue, looked at Yan Hesu, and said in a muffled voice: "Are you serious?"
"If I were you, I would definitely not be as strong as you." Yan Hesu stretched out his little finger, imitated Wen Xi and Wen Ran's agreement, and said, "If I lie to you, I'd be a puppy."
Wen Xi burst into laughter: "Why are you acting like you're coaxing Ran Ran?"
This was the first time Yan and Su saw Wenxi cry. In their impression, Wenxi was always positive, not afraid of difficulties, and rarely asked them for help in life. Although he had no parents, he was able to live well in a strange city with his young sister.
But this kind of stubbornness can easily make people overlook his helplessness. It was not until today, when they saw Wen Xi about to cry out of fear and self-blame, that Yan and Su suddenly realized that Wen Xi, who had always been strong and brave, was still a child who needed the care of his family.
In fact, he just came of age last week.
Over the years, Wen Xi has gone through all kinds of hardships and has gone from not being able to believe why life is so cruel to him to being calm and peaceful. He accepts the injustice of fate but refuses to succumb to the difficulties of life.
Wen Xi firmly believed that he could lead Wen Ran out of the muddy family of origin, and he was working hard towards this goal. So he quickly sorted out his personal emotions, wiped away his tears, and became the positive Wen Xi known to Yan, Su and others.
"Okay, I've gotten myself together, let's go back to school."
Yan Hesu looked at his still red eyes and asked doubtfully, "Really? You won't cry secretly again?"
"I won't cry secretly. I'm very strong, I just felt a little sad just now." Wen Xi saw that he didn't drive yet, so she held out her little finger as a guarantee: "If I lie to you, I'd be a puppy."
Yan Hesu felt relieved, "Wenxi, if you have any questions, just ask me for help."
Wenxi: "Okay."
Yan and Su put on their sunglasses again and started the car: "Then let's go back to school."
The Maserati's window was half open and the car was driving at a moderate speed. The rich fragrance of the gardenias in the roadside gardens blew into the car along with the cool breeze, blowing away Wenxi's unhappiness.
Wen Xi's cell phone vibrated, and he took it out of his bag. He opened it and saw that his friend Sui Ning had invited him to attend the campus recruitment briefing at 3pm to experience in advance the miserable days of job hunting in the senior year.
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: I'll be at school soon.
[Winning is easy]: Then I'll go to the lecture hall and find a good seat, play with my phone for a while and wait for you.
[The stream becomes the sea]: (OK) (OK)
After exiting the chat box with Sui Ning, Wen Xi realized that [Banquet Decision] was pushed to the bottom by various group messages.
Yan Jue must be very busy, and he hasn't replied yet. But this didn't stop Wen Xi from finding a photo of his notes from studying in the library and sending it to Yan Jue.
[Streams become seas]: [Picture]
[Streams Become Seas]: Come to the library to study~
[溪流成海]: No matter how busy my brother is, he should take a good rest (heartache)
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: Remember to reply to the message.
[The stream becomes the sea]: (The bear with glasses crosses his arms and looks serious)
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: Otherwise I will be sad (grievance) (grievance)
"What are you going to do when you return to the dormitory later?" Yan and Su turned the corner and could already see the shadow of the school in the distance.
Yan Jue didn't reply to the message, and Wen Xi didn't continue the conversation. He knew enough to stop, put away his phone, and turned to look at Yan and Su.
"Just drop me off at the school gate later. Sui Ning and I will go to the school recruitment briefing."
"Campus recruitment? Why are you going there?" Yan Hesu frowned: "Are you going to find a job now? Aren't you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination? Improving your academic qualifications will be better for your future development."
"I'm not looking for a job right now. I'm here to accompany Sui Ning today and get a feel for the atmosphere." Wen Xi sighed and shook his head, "But I'm not planning on taking the postgraduate entrance exam, nor the civil service exam. Although I really want to continue my studies, you know that delaying employment is not a good option for me."
Wenxi didn't plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam, nor could he take the civil service exam. Time was money to him, so he needed the fastest way to get results, which was to work. However, it wasn't a job at a tech company, but a place like Niye Club where he could make quick money.
Although Wenxi planned to pay off his debts, return to normal life, have a stable job, and bring his sister to live well, the monthly salary of the interns recruited by Yunjia University could not even cover Wenran's tuition, not to mention the debts that had to be paid off every month, so Wenxi just accompanied Suining to listen today.
Yan Hesu felt it was a pity that Wenxi had the grades to be admitted to Q University, but he couldn't continue his studies. Yan Hesu couldn't help but sigh when he thought that Wenxi went to college at the age of 16 just to work part-time to earn living expenses two years earlier.
Yan and Su parked the car on the roadside near the school gate and turned to look at Wen Xi: "Think about it again. Anyway, my uncle and his friends are working on this field. With your current skills, you are far ahead. They will want you even more when you graduate from graduate school. There is no rush to find a job now."
Wen Xi didn't tell the truth to Yan Hesu, but she didn't reject his kindness: "Okay."
Wen Xi got out of the car and leaned close to the window: "I will consider your suggestion carefully, but thank you for giving me a ride today. I'm going to the lecture hall now. Bye!"
