"Yes, let's eat first, eat first..." Wen Qinghua said, suddenly noticing the birthday cake in the middle, and quickly stood up and said, "Hey, I almost forgot, I haven't made a wish yet and blew out the candles."
Wen Xue glanced at Li Yong, feeling a little resistant to this childish behavior.
I don't know why, but it seems that he doesn't want Li Yong to see it.
However, the other three people were happy to see the result, and the atmosphere was good now. She couldn't bear to ruin it, and she couldn't resist Wen Qinghua's repeated urging. In the end, she could only close her eyes and make prayer gestures after he lit three candles, feeling in her heart But he was confused and didn't know what he was thinking about for a while.
When she opened her eyes and saw three pairs of eyes on her, she had no choice but to stand up and blow out the candles.
Fortunately, I succeeded after trying it twice.
"Here, let's eat the cake!" Wen Qinghua actively adjusted the atmosphere. Wen Ju'an also took the cake with dignity, took a bite and said "delicious" with a smile.
As for Wen Xue, she didn't know whether it was because she was distracted or inexplicably nervous. She took a bite without paying attention, and took the cream and stood on her lips.
Wen Ju'an was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and actually felt that his mother was a bit cute at this moment.
No, no, this must be an illusion...
Li Yong laughed, took a handkerchief and handed it to her, then pointed to his mouth, and Wen Xue finally reacted.
When she took the handkerchief, there seemed to be some static electricity, which frightened her face. She immediately withdrew her hand and touched it gently.
Li Yong was stunned, and Wen Qinghua and Wen Ju'an next to him were also a little surprised.
Wen Xue didn't speak. Although her expression was normal as always, she felt very embarrassed inside.
I regret it now, very much.
Li Yong's expression remained normal, and he naturally put the handkerchief on the table and explained to Wen Xue: "It may be due to static electricity. To be honest, I was also shocked."
Wen Xue twitched the corner of her mouth in cooperation, wanting to smile and let the embarrassment go away. Then she remembered that there might be cream on the corner of her mouth. After a moment of hesitation, she picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.
At this moment, Wen Ju'an took the initiative to cut a piece of cake and put it on an empty seat next to him. Although he didn't say anything, Wen Xue's face suddenly became a little ugly.
Wen Qinghua was also secretly complaining, and was worrying about how to make things right this time, when Li Yong spoke up again: "Speaking of which, Mr. Wen and I have some extra connections."
Wen Xue no longer paid attention to the plate of cake, and Wen Ju'an also looked over.
Wen Qinghua was even more curious: "Well, have we met before?"
"No," Li Yong said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Wen still remembers Qiao Yicheng?"
"10%?" Wen Qinghua was startled for a moment, then immediately laughed.
Of course he had an impression of that young man. At that time, he had just returned from the countryside. He had not yet thought of a way out, so he became a substitute teacher through the introduction of his father's old friend.
It was also during that short period of time that he met a young man that he would never forget.
He shouldered the burden of his family at a young age and even thought about giving up his studies.
In the end, Wen Qinghua persuaded him. Of course, the redemption was mutual. Although Wen Qinghua never gave up, it had to be said that it was Qiao Yicheng's influence that made him feel that the difficulties in life in front of him were nothing at all.
"Where is he now?" After asking this question, Wen Qinghua suddenly hesitated, worried that he would hear bad news.
Fortunately, Li Zhao said with a smile: "He was admitted to Nanjing Normal University and is now studying in college."
"That's it..." Wen Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief, and was actually a little surprised to see him again, "Then I have a chance to see him again. I am still interning. When the internship is over, I will return to school. I should stay in school to teach. .”
When talking about this matter, Wen Xue interjected: "Are you going to stop thinking about it?"
Obviously, she had some disputes with her younger brother over his forehead, but after all, Wen Qinghua was already an adult. She could control her daughter, but not him.
Wen Qinghua just smiled and shook his head, his attitude self-evident.
Then he glanced at Li Yong again and said hesitantly: "What is your relationship with Qiao Yicheng?"
"I have a close relationship with their family, we can be considered friends."
Next, Wen Qinghua asked some questions about Qiao Yicheng, and Li Yong also answered them one by one.
It wasn't until Wen Xue interrupted them impatiently that the two stopped and then looked at each other and smiled.
Wen Qinghua felt that he could suddenly understand why his sister looked at Li Yong differently. Although he had not yet figured out the relationship between the two, after all, the age gap between them seemed obvious. Wen Xue was not that irrational, but Li Yong was also far away. He is more mature than he looks.
Even after the conversation, he felt like he had met each other too late. They both had similar thoughts on many topics. This was a feeling he hadn't had in many years.
Because the last person who made him feel this way is no longer there...
Wen Ju'an listened with great interest and occasionally looked at Li Yong, feeling as if his profile was glowing.
Because of Wenxue's restrictions, not only could she not see her father, she also had little contact with her peers. After all, everyone could go out to play together in their spare time, so she could only go home.
At first there were people looking for her, but over time they ignored her, assuming that she would not go.
Not only friends of the opposite sex, but also friends with the same surname are very rare because there is no chance to establish a relationship at all.
There was only so much time in school, and Wenxue had to force her to study hard and spend her mind on studying. Although she didn't study very well, this was somewhat intentional and she didn't give up at all. It would be amazing to be able to learn from that.
This was the first time that a peer of his own age appeared in his home. Although Li Yong looked much older than him, he talked more like his peers when talking to his uncle.
At this time, Wen Xue became like an outsider. Of course, she had to express some of her dissatisfaction and show her sense of existence.
Maybe she didn't think so, but she subconsciously did it.
Then after everyone looked over, she felt a little embarrassed and coughed slightly before saying: "Tsinghua, come with me, I have something to tell you."
This is quite a bit of a search for something to talk about. Anyway, Wen Qinghua felt that he was a typical example of being caught.
In front of outsiders, Wen Ju'an didn't behave too much, so Wen Xue naturally wouldn't do anything to her.
Facing Li Yong, an outsider who has just arrived, he will not do anything. He is the only one who can be used as a punching bag.
After the siblings left, Li Yong suddenly looked back at Wen Ju'an.
The girl's eyes were originally blank, not looking at him, but she was facing him, as if she was peeking at him.
Especially after he looked over, she immediately turned her head away. She felt a little annoyed in her heart for avoiding him.
But Li Yong suddenly asked: "Did you leave that cake for your father?"
"Ah?" Wen Ju'an was surprised, and even subconsciously glanced in the direction Wen Xue and the others left, as if he was afraid that Li Yong was an informant arranged by his mother and stayed here to test him.
But seeing Li Yong's eyes, his expression was very casual, just like an ordinary chat.
Wen Ju'an couldn't help but relax and nodded after hesitating, but he didn't want to say anything more.
Even if Li Yong has no ill intentions, he is just a stranger whom he met for the first time.
Although he smiled very kindly and seemed very approachable.
"If I say, I know your father, do you want to meet him?"
