Chapter 30
The content of the dream seemed bizarre and strange. Perhaps it was because it was a rare occasion for me to be in such an embarrassing situation, or it was because I met my former classmates again.
In the fragmented memory fragments, the moonlight seemed to have a different ability in an instant, making Lin Wan seem to return to that embarrassing teenage period in his dream.
"Lin Wan!" Someone called her from behind. Lin Wan turned around slowly, holding the books in her arms. At the moment, she was helping the math teacher move homework, and the voice behind her was completely unfamiliar.
The feet in white sneakers drew a circle on the ground hesitantly. Lin Wan looked at the person behind him and found that he was a short boy with long hair that slightly covered his ears.
His expression looked solemn and shy, his lips were slightly pursed, and his eyelashes were trembling.
Lin Wan looked at him in confusion; they were not familiar with each other.
The boy trembled more and more violently, opened his mouth again and again, but in the end he couldn't utter a word.
The two of them were in the corridor. Students were coming and going, but many people's eyes were fixed on them.
Lin Wan didn't care about their gazes. She focused on the boy in front of her, thinking about why he asked her to stop.
The autumn sun shines through the handrails and onto the ground, creating a gentle glow.
The boy's gaze was a little evasive, but he walked towards Lin Wan in an extremely forceful manner and snatched the heavy exercise book from Lin Wan's hand.
Even though the book in his hand was snatched away, Lin Wan subconsciously pinched the edge of the book tightly with his fingers, not wanting to let go.
What is he going to do? Lin Wan thought about this and asked.
The boy's face in her memory was vague, because Lin Wan didn't know him at all at the time and just thought he was a strange classmate.
And now - the immature face gradually overlaps with that of an obviously mature young man.
"What are you doing?" Lin Wan turned sideways and moved the exercise book away from the boy.
Want to copy homework?
The elite class's progress was much faster than the regular and specialty classes. Lin Wan looked at him warily.
The boy took a step forward, snatched the book from her hand, and said in a firm tone that was completely inconsistent with his nervous expression, "I'll help you."
The boy was very strong, and Lin Wan was unable to grab him in a hurry. She could only follow him in confusion.
By the way, he seemed to have said his name to himself at that time, but his voice was low and a little unclear.
Lin Wan was so focused on her math homework at the time that she didn't pay any attention to what he said.
After all, her level of responsibility was praised by the teacher.
From childhood to adulthood, Lin Wan has always been a good child in the eyes of his parents.
They walked one after the other, and Zhou Wangjing never looked back once.
Such pretense of profundity in a young child is extremely inconsistent and even disjointed.
I don’t know who gave him the advice at that time?
Half asleep and half awake, Lin Wan pondered with adult thinking and couldn't help but ask this question. Helping a girl move her homework wasn't something that the extremely conflicted boy at the time could have thought of.
Another wave of pain surged through my drunken brain.
She turned over with her head in her hands. The alarm clock hadn't rung yet, so Lin Wan planned to continue resting.
Love is too far away for her even now, let alone her in junior high school.
Lin Wan was still immersed in his own thoughts and didn't pay any attention to what was happening outside the door.
When the footsteps stopped at the door of Lin Wan's room, Lin Wan was still feeling sad.
But the next second, the door opened, and fine light came in, accompanied by the sound of footsteps - and slightly heavy breathing.
At first, Lin Wan didn't realize what was going to happen.
The alcohol poisoned her brain so much that her thoughts could no longer function.
Until someone's body was thrown onto the bed, letting out a short but rapid groan.
?
what happened?
Lin Wan's slow brain belatedly realized what was going on outside, and she hurriedly sat up, wanting to leave the room before they could be together again - she didn't have any special fetishes.
Lin Wan's arms were covered with goose bumps.
She wanted a sense of security and chose to rest on the small couch by the bay window. The space was large enough to accommodate her body, and by pulling the curtains on the side, a separate space was created.
Such a small space gives Lin Wan a unique sense of security, as if she can control everything that happens in this small world.
That's how tragedy happens.
After sitting up, Lin Wan touched the curtain with his hand, wondering whether to go out now.
If I go out now, it will only be awkward for a few minutes; if I don’t go out, it may be awkward for dozens of minutes.
I didn't know who was outside. I could only hear a faint voice, which seemed to come from a young girl.
The bed creaked and twisted.
Lin Wan was about to cough lightly to remind the passionate young couple that there was a third person in the room so that they could be alert.
But the girl's words made Lin Wan cough pretentiously and swallow it back.
"Chen Yu, when are you planning to go home?" The girl's voice got louder and her speech was a little fast, obviously a little anxious.
Chen Yu?
go home?
These two words again,
Lin Wan suddenly felt that he had sobered up a little, and even his slow brain began to work.
Why does Chen Yu want to go home again?
Her home is his home.
Lin Wan bit her lower lip, feeling a little confused.
But the information shows that he is an orphan, so how could he have a home?
Lin Wan's fingers began to tap her chin, something she always did when she was thinking or struggling. She withdrew her hand from the curtain.
"Chen Yu, answer me? Mom is dying." The woman's voice was trembling and almost crying.
"The Chen family will always accept you. Come back to Beijing with me!"
There was still no response from the other side.
Lin Wan heard the friction of a lighter's rollers, followed by a ding as it closed. It seemed as if someone was fiddling with the lighter, or lighting a cigarette.
As far as I can remember, Chen Yu doesn't smoke.
The only person smoking was another young woman.
wrong.
Lin Wan realized that maybe the person outside wasn't Chen Yu at all, but just another stranger, or maybe it was just a woman.
So what is her purpose?
To sow discord between her and Chen Yu?
Why and how would this be done, and who would benefit from it? Lin Wan began to think rapidly about all the possible people.
It is those cousins who want to fight for more shares - this is very likely.
The woman's tone tightened. "You've been messing around for so many years, and I ignored you, thinking you'd change your mind. You can continue to indulge yourself, but not now."
"Chen Yu, Mom is very ill. It happened in the past two years." She continued with a sigh.
The person on the other side still didn't speak, and the woman continued to talk to herself.
Lin Wan caught a whiff of the faint scent of tobacco. It wasn't overpowering, but it made her already overwhelmed respiratory tract itch. She suppressed the itch and remained silent; she had to continue listening.
This may be a conspiracy aimed at creating discord.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Is it fun to stay in a small business in Jiangcheng?"
The woman's tone slowed down a bit, then became anxious again, with a hint of impatience. But it was always just her one-woman show, as if there was no third person outside the curtain.
Lin Wan raised an eyebrow at someone who dared to say that the Lin family was a small business.
"interesting."
The person on the other end finally answered, his voice a little hoarse, probably because he hadn't spoken for a long time.
His tone was sharp, he was arguing.
The answer was extremely brief. Lin Wan hoped to hear a hint of familiarity in the voice or tone, but there was none.
The smell of tobacco became stronger, and the sound of a lighter was heard again, as if someone had lit another cigarette.
The woman seemed to sneer, and her high heels made a crisp sound as they stepped on the wooden floor.
"You're still such a child. Do you think you can change your situation with such childish means? You're so naive and stupid."
The woman spoke bluntly.
Even through the curtains, Lin Wan could imagine what she looked like at the moment: her arms folded across her chest, her chin held high, and an extremely arrogant expression.
She must be a very opinionated woman, Lin Wan thought.
"Unlike you, Miss Gu Zhu, lowly people like us should behave like lowly people." The other side sneered, and because he was biting the cigarette, his tone was a little unclear.
This was definitely not something Chen Yu would say, and Chen Yu didn't smoke. Lin Wan was still analyzing.
She had deep doubts about the authenticity of the scene outside.
My uncle and his friends should really be screenwriters instead of doing business. He's obviously better at making up stories!
Lin Wan raised his lips in mockery.
"I don't care what you say. My message has been conveyed. You'd better follow me now. If you don't return to Beijing within a month, we will have to take compulsory measures."
The woman's voice was resounding, as if she was sure of victory.
"Compulsory measures." The person on the other side simply repeated her words in a nonchalant manner.
Lin Wan felt that she would be furious if she encountered such a tone.
Hiss, not ordinary.
Doesn’t she even know that Chen Yu is going to Beijing to attend university?
If her identity was really as precious as she claimed, shouldn't someone just use some connections to tell her about such a small matter?
Is it a loophole in the script, or does she not want to get to know Chen Yu at all, and comes here just for the so-called mission?
"I know you understand the pros and cons—"
Before the woman could finish her words, the tense atmosphere in the room was disturbed by another sound.
——Lin Wanding’s alarm clock.
She even set the alarm! But she was so busy eavesdropping that she completely forgot about it!
Lin Wan was startled, and all the hairs on his body stood up instantly. He fumbled around on the bay window, hoping to quickly find the phone that he had put there in a drunken state.
Isn’t it right here?
hateful!
Lin Wan suppressed his emotions and wondered what that woman would do if it was an actor hired by his cousin.
Turn a deaf ear.
The alarm clock was still ringing, but the sound of high heels was getting closer and closer.
The cold sweat on the back of Lin Wan's neck soaked her hair. She opened her mouth to breathe but bit her tongue again. She almost cried out in pain, but she held it back.
The footsteps finally reached the curtains, and Lin Wan's hand just barely touched the phone.
The curtains were about to be drawn open, and Lin Wan could almost see the hand.
Gu Zhu was a little annoyed. She didn't have enough time for work, and now she had to take care of her so-called younger brother. There was a third person present when she was still disciplining Chen Yu. She wondered how much he had heard. What would happen if it got out?
Gu Zhu rubbed his eyebrows and reached out to open the curtains.
It turned out to be a drunken girl. Gu Zhu's heart relaxed slightly as she looked up and down at the girl in the bay window. Her skin was delicate, and in the moonlight it shone beautifully, like a piece of carefully carved jade. Her face was scarlet, and beads of sweat were on her forehead.
She looked so drunk that even the ringing of the bell couldn't wake her up.
The girl on the bay window looks quite familiar.
Gu Zhu stared at Lin Wan for a long while, then heard Chen Yu ask her from behind, "Who is it?"
Gu Zhu recognized Lin Wan. She laughed mockingly and said, "Your sister."
As the protagonist of the banquet, Gu Zhu was seen by so many people in the crowd, but he didn't even have the ability to recognize people. He should have taken the initiative to retreat.
Chen Yu was obviously stunned. He leaned idly against the headboard for a moment, then quickly sat up.
Gu Zhu stared at Lin Wan's trembling eyelashes and curled the corners of her lips.
Amidst the repetitive sound of the alarm clock, she said, "It's okay, she didn't hear it."
Lin Wan felt her heart beating very fast. As she lay stiffly on the bed, she could hear the violent sound of her heart beating.
Each one is heavier and faster than the last.
His heart was about to jump out, and Lin Wan was not sure whether Gu Zhu could hear the sound of his own accelerating heartbeat.
After all, it was too loud.
