Wen Ning was in the dark, looking at the figure on the balcony not far away in trance.
In a daze, she felt like she had returned to many years ago.
Humility arises from the bottom of my heart.
At that time, there were many nights when she would secretly stand in a dark corner like this, secretly looking at the sun in her heart like a weed that no one noticed.
At that time, she never dared to dream that one day she would be held in Lu Yanci's arms and kissed.
I have never even dreamed of it!
But when this day actually happened, she felt sad and ridiculous at the same time.
No matter what happened, a pathetic plaything is still worthy of being looked up at in a dark corner.
She saw Lu Yanci standing on the balcony smoking. He seemed to be smoking very hard. The orange stars were looming and disappeared after a short while.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Ying appeared behind him and hugged him from behind very affectionately.
Then for some reason, Luo Ying let go of him again. The two of them said something and quickly entered the house again.
Wen Ning was a little distracted, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.
The wind was very strong on the top of the mountain, and the snow was even heavier. It was as if they had eyes, trying to fill the hole in her heart.
She felt the pain there more and more.
It hurts even more than that day when my aunt didn't want her!
She looked at the bright window for a while and then picked up the phone.
This time, it was Lu Yanci who answered the phone.
His voice was gentler than usual, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
In the wind and snow, Wen Ning shivered. She clutched her phone tightly and whispered, "Uncle, where are you? I can't sleep a little, and I miss you a little."
Lu Yanci's voice seemed less cold, "I have something to do outside. I won't be able to come back today. Ning Ning, be good and sleep by yourself. When you get up tomorrow morning, I will be back."
She felt a tightness in her chest, and the knuckles of the hand holding the phone turned white.
It turns out that he is not naturally cold-hearted, and he is not so cold when he is with the person he likes.
She looked at the window not far away, and there seemed to be vague figures on it.
She said softly: "Is it Miss Luo's problem? Is she sick again?"
Lu Yanci was silent for a moment and whispered: "Don't think too much. It's not Luo Ying's fault. It's so late. If you can't sleep, just get up and watch TV for a while, or ask Zhang Hua to get you something to eat."
Wen Ning also fell silent and did not speak on the phone.
After a while, a very thin female voice came from Lu Yanci's side, "Yan Ci, hurry up..."
It was a very thin voice, but Wen Ning still heard it.
Her fingertips trembled and she said softly: "Uncle, I feel sleepy. Go and do your work."
After speaking, Lu Yanci hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.
She felt that the wind seemed to be getting stronger and the snow was getting heavier. She felt a little tired in this icy and snowy weather.
She stared motionlessly at the softly lit window, her whole figure as lifeless as an ice sculpture.
At this time, a big black umbrella was held above her head, and then a fluffy blanket fell on her shoulders.
Li Fengxing put the hand warmer bag into her hand and frowned: "Do you like snow so much? I just made a phone call and you ran down. Can't you watch it in the car?"
Wen Ning didn't say anything, and still looked at the window motionless.
Li Fengxing followed her gaze and saw the beautiful villa.
On the entire top of the mountain, this one is the only one with the lights on, which looks very eye-catching and beautiful.
He raised his eyebrows, put his arm around Wen Ning's shoulders, and said lazily, "Do you like this kind of house?"
Wen Ning said softly: "The starry sky ceiling in the house must be very beautiful. Lying in it with the person you like, watching the stars in summer, the sunset in autumn, and the snow in winter, it is really romantic."
Li Fengxing chuckled softly, "Little guy, he has quite high standards. He likes the house here. My brother developed and built the house here. How about asking him to give you a discount?"
Wen Ning withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Young Master Li, there is no need to tease me, I know I don't deserve it."
This kind of place is naturally for a top wealthy girl like Luo Ying who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. A little flower like her who grew up in a dark corner is not worthy of such a good place.
Li Fengxing put away his smile, reached out and flicked her forehead, and whispered: "What did you say?"
"Isn't it worthy? Do you really like this kind of place?"
Wen Ning said nothing, grabbed the hand warmer in his hand, put it against his cheek, and said softly: "Young Master Li, do you like drinking? How about I treat you to a drink?"
Li Fengxing was a little surprised, "Didn't you say you don't have money to treat me to something to eat?"
Wen Ning lowered his eyes gently and said calmly: "I still have this little money, do you want to go?"
Li Fengxing looked at her with a half-smile, "Don't you want to see the snow anymore?"
Wen Ning felt that all the snow was hitting her chest, which was painful and cold.
She turned around and walked back to the car, "Don't look anymore, go back."
Li Fengxing noticed something was wrong with her, but since he met Wen Ning, every time they met she had never been normal, so he didn't find it too strange.
The car circled around the top of the mountain and quickly went down the mountain.
Wen Ning pointed to the road and asked Li Fengxing to drive the car outside the small street next to her rental house.
Despite the heavy wind and snow, there is still a strong smell of fireworks here.
In front of a small barbecue stall, Wen Ning ordered a lot of skewers, a dozen grilled oysters, grilled eggplant, and finally ordered that the eggplant must be topped with minced meat.
Through the dim light, the owner of the barbecue restaurant looked at Wen Ning with a smile, "It's been a long time, little girl."
Wen Ning smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've been here."
The boss, who was quick and agile, was adding condiments to the skewers while looking at the tall man next to Wen Ning, "Little girl, is this your boyfriend? He looks really handsome!"
Wen Ning smiled and did not answer.
Li Fengxing put his arm around her shoulders, glanced at the shop's simple decoration and greasy tables and chairs, and whispered in her ear: "Will you treat me to this?"
Wen Ning pushed his hand away and whispered: "If you don't want to eat, I'll eat it myself."
Li Fengxing clicked his tongue, "It makes you embarrassed to say that I am your boyfriend?"
Wen Ning remained silent and turned around to ask the boss for a few more bottles of beer.
Soon, Wen Ning carried his things upstairs.
Li Fengxing frowned when he saw the environment of the house, but still followed up.
I haven't been back for a few days, and the house has accumulated a thin layer of dust, but I can still see that the house is neatly tidied.
Wen Ning dusted it off a little, put the barbecue on the table, took out a small electric heater, and turned it on.
The room was small, and it was warmed by the orange electric heater.
Wen Ning took off his coat, put beer in a teapot, added some ginger slices and rice wine into it, and after boiling for a while, the sweet aroma of wine filled the whole room.
Li Fengxing had not spoken since entering the room. He sat silently on the sofa in the living room and watched Wen Ning busy here and there.
He was tall, and the small sofa seemed too small for him, so he had to bend one leg, which made his legs look longer.
He didn't say anything, and just looked at Wen Ning, the meaning in his eyes getting thicker and thicker.
After a while, he watched Wen Ning find two glasses, poured the brewed beer into the glasses, and then said, "Is this your house?"
The hot water vapor blurred Wen Ning's eyes. She had been confused all the way from the mountain to now, her mind was buzzing in confusion, and she relied on instinct to speak and do things.
As soon as I was intoxicated by the hot smell of alcohol, my eyes felt a little moist, my chest felt stuffy, and there was a dull pain.
She took a big sip of the hot beer and felt her chest getting warmer, "Master Li has never been to such a bad place, has he?"
She was only wearing a thin sweater. The off-white color made her skin whiter and whiter, her hair darker and her lips bright red, as if she was tempting someone to kiss her.
The clothes she wore were all chosen by Lu Yanci himself. They were of high quality and style, and they looked expensive at first glance. Standing in this room like this, Wen Ning looked a little out of place with the old and shabby surroundings. .
I drank some wine this time, my face was slightly red, my eyes were misty, and I looked really good-looking.
Li Fengxing kept staring at her, but she didn't pay much attention. She picked up the wine glass and took another sip, "Come here and eat. The beer tastes good after being brewed like this."
Li Fengxing still didn't move, just looked at her straightly.
Wen Ning chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I forgot, Master Li is also a noble son from a wealthy family. He may have never tasted such cheap food, but it's okay to try it occasionally. It won't kill you."
As he said that, he took a grilled oyster, removed the seasoning on it, and ate one.
It was a bit spicy, and Wen Ning felt his lips were swollen after eating a little bit.
But she didn't care, and continued to eat the roasted eggplant. After two bites, she choked and coughed, so she picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.
In fact, she rarely eats such spicy food, but today for some reason, she just wanted to eat it, and she wanted to eat a lot and drink a lot of wine.
She remembered that someone told her that when she was unhappy, she could eat something she didn't dare to eat before. Maybe she could discover a new world and feel better.
The man was right. The spicy food seemed to warm her stomach a little, but the pain in her chest didn't seem to subside at all.
He took another sip of wine, then choked and coughed.
Li Fengxing couldn't stand it any longer, so he stepped forward and snatched the wine glass from her hand. His face was not very good, "If you can't drink it, don't drink it!"
Wen Ning chuckled lightly, "Master Li, please drink a little too. I have never invited a boy to drink with me, and you are the first one."
Li Fengxing stared at her for a while, then took a sip from the wine glass she drank from.
It tastes better than expected, with just a little bit of wine flavor, and it's sweet, just like a drink.
Wen Ning watched him take a sip, but ignored him and filled the cup again.
He didn't mind that it was the cup Li Fengxing drank from, so he downed a large cup in one go.
After drinking it, I felt that the coldness in my chest seemed to have eased a little. I took the grilled oysters, put aside all the condiments on them, and handed them to Li Fengxing, "Try them."
Li Fengxing looked at her soft white hands holding the oyster shell, a little pink reflected in the light.
His eyes flashed slightly, and when he took it, he pulled her hand in front of him and looked at it.
Her hands are small and white, with thin and soft fingers. The fingertips are lightly pink and very cute. However, you can still see thin calluses on the palms and joints.
His heart twitched slightly, and he whispered: "How long have you been staying in the Lu family?"
Wen Ning withdrew his hand, took another sip of wine, and said calmly: "I forgot, but I rarely go back in recent years."
Li Fengxing looked at her, his heart aching again, "Your dear aunt doesn't care about you?"
Wen Ning felt as if his heart was throbbing, and nodded, then shook his head, "I don't know, maybe I was dragging her down. Without me, her life would probably be easier."
Li Fengxing asked again: "How long have you rented this house?"
Wen Ning said nothing and just took another sip of wine.
Li Fengxing stared at her, "Has it been four or five years?"
Apart from anything else, this small electric heater alone has been used for a long time. The other furniture may have been left by the people in front of her, but she must have bought this thing herself.
It's so old, at least three to five years old.
In other words, Wen Ning has been living outside since he was about fifteen years old.
Wen Ning didn't answer. He just held the wine glass and slowly took another sip before saying, "If Mr. Li thinks I'm too shabby, just don't bother with me anymore. This place is indeed a little small and broken."
Li Fengxing pursed his lips and looked at her for a while before saying, "The Lu family doesn't care what you say, so why does Lu Yanci care so much about you?"
When the words "Lu Yunci" were mentioned, Wen Ning lowered his eyebrows and said calmly: "Maybe he is afraid that I will die outside and embarrass the Lu family."
Li Fengxing took away her wine glass and looked at her, "Stay with me, Wen Ning, I can take care of you."
Wen Ning didn't seem surprised at all that he said such words. He glanced at him lightly and said softly: "What about your marriage to Lu Xue? Are you going to let her down?"
Li Fengxing's eyes flashed slightly and his tone was a little low, "You don't have to worry about this, I will take care of it."
Wen Ning gave a sarcastic smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are getting engaged, so you came here to tell me this. Lu Xizhou also said the same thing to me, but he is getting engaged to Li Yingying." .”
"Have I stabbed this man in the nest? Or do I look easy to deceive?"
Li Fengxing was stunned for a moment, then a touch of anger appeared on his face, "Lu Xizhou, you mean that bastard? He is your brother in name only!"
Wen Ning tightened his hands and stopped talking.
Li Fengxing's chest heaved a little, and his anger surged: "Has he bullied you before?"
Wen Ning lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "What kind of bullying are you talking about? Is it sleeping? That's not the case."
She took the wine glass and gently rubbed the hammer pattern on it, "However, I did a lot of other things."
Li Fengxing said nothing, picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.
Both of them were silent. The food on the table was almost untouched, but all the wine was drunk.
Maybe they were in a mood, but this bit of wine actually made both of them slightly drunk.
When he woke up the next morning, Wen Ning found that he had fallen asleep on the sofa with a small blanket draped over him. Li Fengxing was sitting on the chair next to him with his eyes closed. He seemed to be sleeping deeply.
Before Wen Ning could recover, there was a heavy knock on the door.
The soundproofing of the old house was not good, so Lu Yanci's cold voice penetrated right through.
"Wen Ning, open the door!"
