he is afraid, he pretends

Nearly one-half of Central Park is a lake.

The two bypassed the barbecue area and walked into another lakeside area for viewing.

It was near noon, the sun was fierce, and this place was full of low bushes.

There is no open space with shade, and scattered benches can only be seen after a long distance, so there are only a few people around here.

When Cen Xiwen was halfway through speaking, Wu Luming's attention was attracted by two children playing by the lake.

There are two children, one big and one small.

The little girl looks like three or four years old, and the little boy is a little bit older. It looks like he should have gone to elementary school.

There are no adults around, and the little boy is playing chase with the little girl.

He ran fast and slow behind the little girl, making the little girl laugh constantly.

The fence around the lake in the viewing area is all wooden fences.

Probably because of the remoteness of this place, the fence is obviously in disrepair, and the faded wood seems to be blown down by a slightly stronger wind.

A corner of the fence near the corner is missing, and it has not been repaired in the future, but a "Dangerous Do Not Approach" sign is hung next to the gap.

The notice board is hung in a conspicuous position, but for children who don't know a few words, it is nothing.

The place where the two children were chasing and playing was near the gap, and they ran back and forth several times before the gap. The two of them were sweating profusely, apparently neither of them realized that they were far away from the danger enough to swallow an adult into the lake. The gap is farther away.

Wu Luming glanced around, guessing that the two children probably ran out of the parent's sight while playing.

Because apart from him and Cen Xiwen, there were no other adults around here.

After Cen Xiwen finished speaking, he didn't get a response for a long time.

He looked at Wu Luming, and found that Wu Luming's attention was not on him at all, and his brows frowned immediately.

He followed Wu Luming's line of sight and landed on two children not far away.

Out of the corner of his eye, Wu Luming seemed to be about to walk towards the two children, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said, "What are you talking about, that little girl is the daughter of the big guy."

Wu Luming paused when he heard this, and finally looked at Cen Xiwen again.

He actually didn't listen too carefully to what Cen Xiwen said in the second half.

He came to this team building with Wen Siyuan today in order to find out from Cen Xiwen what he had revealed to Wen Siyuan.

Wu Luming knew that when he asked Wen Siyuan this question, Wen Siyuan would definitely tell him.

But the two have only dated for more than ten days, and he can't guarantee that once the issue unfolds, whether it will affect the relationship between the two people who have just established it.

He didn't want to and didn't need to gamble with this kind of thing, so it would be better to ask Cen Xiwen directly.

Wu Luming's eyes returned to Cen Xiwen, and then he recalled what Cen Xiwen said to him just now.

He thought about who the big guy was for a moment, but when he thought about it, there was no movement in his eyes.

Unable to see the expected expression, Cen Xiwen frowned again.

After staring at Wu Luming with an unpredictable expression for a long time, he suddenly snorted slightly: "Did you just want to remind those two children to stay away from the warning sign, why don't you go now?"

Wu Luming glanced at the two children who had run a little far away from the gap, and said coldly: "I have already asked about the topic I want to talk to you just now, and I am not interested in chatting with you for extra days. If you don't want to talk about it, I'll go back first."

As soon as Wu Luming said this, Cen Xiwen's ugly face softened.

He stared at Wu Luming and gradually raised a smile, and said, "Okay, let's talk, what are we talking about? Talking about how you pretended to be a white paper and put yourself in front of others in order to deceive a white paper?"

Wu Luming looked up at him, but didn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Cen Xiwen smiled even more intensely: "Let's talk about how you used your miserable childhood as an emotional bargaining chip to tell him with embellishments?"

Wu Luming's unchanging expression changed for a moment after saying this: "What do you mean?"

Cen Xiwen saw the real change of Wu Luming's expression in his eyes, and just as a trace of doubt arose in his heart, he caught a glimpse of a figure who appeared nearby at some unknown time from the corner of his eye.

His doubts disappeared, he took a step closer to Wu Luming with a light smirk, and said loudly, "I was curious why you chose Mr. Wen's blank paper, but now I understand it. Who wouldn't like someone who you can call black?" It's black, but whoever you say is white is white? But how long do you think the feelings of pretending to be pitiful to Bo can last? Can you guarantee that your hypocrisy will never be discovered by him?"

After he finished speaking, he took another step closer to Wu Luming, then leaned closer to Wu Luming's ear, and continued in a soft voice: "Didn't you just ask me what I said to Teacher Wen? You didn't say much, so I let him check it out by himself." Tell me about your glorious high school story. He seemed to believe more in your favor about the vague stories on the Internet, so I just told him the reason why the big guy suffered from asthma."

"It must be hard work for you to try to pretend to be innocent in front of him, right? So remember to choose carefully this time."

Cen Xiwen took a step back after speaking, and smiled at Wu Luming.

Before Wu Luming realized what the phrase "choose well" meant, he heard Cen Xiwen amplify his voice again: "To save or not to save the daughter of the person who has suffered so many years in the orphanage for you and your sister, Mr. Wen thinks , how would Wu Luming choose?"

The moment the voice fell, Wu Luming seemed to have sensed something, and turned around to look back.

Two or three steps behind him, Wen Siyuan stood there for an unknown how long, looking at him intently.

However, before he could think about it, there was a loud "plop" not far away.

It was followed by a boy's exclamation.

Wu Luming immediately followed the sound and turned around.

The two children who had run away just now ran back to the edge of the gap at some point, and this time only the slightly older boy was left beside the gap, and there was a figure thumping fiercely on the lake at the gap.

Cen Xiwen must have seen two children fighting back to the gap just now.

The movement here attracted the attention of many passers-by.

However, due to the remote location, it would take some time for other people to arrive, and they were the only ones who were nearby.

Wu Luming's mind was buzzing, he couldn't care about other things for the time being, and was about to run to the lake.

Just as he opened his legs, a coat was stuffed into his arms. When Wen Siyuan's figure passed by him, a voice without any emotion drifted past: "Don't go into the water, wait for me by the lake."

When Wu Luming recovered, Wen Siyuan had already jumped into the lake.

The sun at ten o'clock in late October was not warm at all.

Seeing the splash of Wen Siyuan plunged into the lake, Wu Luming felt a chill all over his body.

I didn't deliberately think about it, but some pictures still flashed in my mind unconsciously.

——I just saw him leave through the gate, and it's too late for you to stop him now.

——You know how slippery the muddy ground by the pond is, Wu Luming, now if you want, you can save him, and only you can save him.

——Can you save me?

Wen Siyuan on the lake managed to lift the girl up, but the girl was probably overly frightened and thrashed violently in Wen Siyuan's arms.

Wu Luming saw that Wen Siyuan was thrown into the fence by the girl when he was swimming back to the shore, he immediately focused his attention and stopped thinking about other things, and ran quickly to the lake.

A lot of people came by the lake at this moment. The parents of the two children panicked and took the girl who was choking on water from Wen Siyuan's hands. After thanking them repeatedly, they anxiously asked the park's rescuers to do first aid.

Wu Luming supported Wen Siyuan who was on the shore, and was about to put his coat back on Wen Siyuan's body, but suddenly, under the wet touch, he felt an unusual warmth in his hand.

He withdrew his hand on Wen Siyuan's shoulder immediately, a flash of red flashed in his eyes, before he had time to look at the color of his palm, Wen Siyuan pressed him into his arms.

The field of vision was plunged into darkness.

Wen Siyuan's embrace was filled with cold moisture.

Wu Luming's hand that had just been removed from Wen Siyuan's shoulder was still hanging in the air, trembling uncontrollably, but was covered by another wet hand.

"Brother Yuan..." Wu Luming suspected that he could not make a sound.

But Wen Siyuan quickly responded to him.

"It's a scratch, it's okay, there's some blood, don't look at it yet."

The voice was as steady as ever.

Wu Luming only felt that his head was buzzing violently, and he seemed to hear Xu Qiqi's exclamation in a trance, and then Wen Siyuan said to go to the hospital.

Wu Luming couldn't remember the whole process of going to the hospital, he even forgot how he got to the emergency bed.

Until his hand was pulled by Wen Siyuan, Wen Siyuan, who had just taken off his shirt, faced a pale face, but said to him calmly: "Xiao Ming, go wash your hands, come back here after washing your hands." side is fine."

Wu Luming's mind went blank, and he subconsciously did what Wen Siyuan said.

When he entered the bathroom of the hospital and stood in front of the sink to boil water, he found a dry blood stain on the palm of his right hand.

It was Wen Siyuan's blood.

Wen Siyuan didn't let him watch it all the way.

Wu Luming looked down at the blood on the palm of his hand for a long time before turning on the faucet and slowly washing away the blood.

After washing, he didn't go back to the emergency room immediately, but found a place to sit in the corridor.

The cold water has washed his head soberly.

Wen Siyuan sent him out because he definitely didn't want him to see the wound treatment process.

He sat on the bench in the corridor, his head hit the cold tiles behind him, his eyes skipped over the lush greenery outside the window, and finally followed a bird flying away from the branch.

He didn't know how long it had been since the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated until his legs went numb before he realized that there was a call.

The caller ID is Xu Qiqi.

After the connection, Xu Qiqi's voice sounded instantly: "Brother, where have you been? Old Wen's here is fine, but he needs to hang two bottles of water, so I transferred him to the ward. Come up to the eighth floor, and I'll pay the fee."

Wu Luming hung up the phone and found the eighth floor, where Xu Qiqi was already waiting for him at the elevator entrance.

After pointing him to the ward, Xu Qiqi took the elevator and left.

It was a double ward, but Wen Siyuan was alone in the ward, and the other bed was empty.

The sun is shining brightly at noon.

The curtains of the ward were half drawn, so that most of the ward was in shadow.

Wen Siyuan sat on the hospital bed near the door, and had already changed into the hospital gown.

The hospital gown was neatly dressed, so that no one could see inside.

His complexion is slightly better than when he first arrived at the hospital, and now he has a needle in the back of his hand and is hanging water.

When the door opened, Wen Siyuan looked towards the door, seeing Wu Luming saying the same as when he was getting along as usual: "Xiao Ming, come here."

Wu Luming walked into the ward and closed the door, but for the first time he didn't listen to Wen Siyuan's words.

He didn't go to Wen Siyuan's bed, but went to another bed in the ward and sat down in the shadow.

Wen Siyuan's gaze followed him all the way, and he didn't say anything else when he saw this, quietly waiting for Wu Luming to speak first.

Because Wu Luming obviously had something to say.

The ward was quiet for a while before Wu Luming's voice sounded.

"Brother Yuan," his voice was hoarse, "Did you hear me talking to Xia Xingluo that time in the hospital?"

Wu Luming thought about it, although Wen Siyuan and Wu Shengjin have a good relationship, their family has always kept the matter of the two siblings in the orphanage as a taboo.

They don't talk about it at home, Wu Shengjin is not a person who talks nonsense, and it is even more impossible to take the initiative to reveal such things to Wen Siyuan.

So there is only one possibility after thinking about it.

Wu Luming sat in the shade.

Wen Siyuan sat in the sun.

Wu Luming could see everything about Wen Siyuan clearly. He didn't know whether Wen Siyuan could see him clearly, but he could see Wen Siyuan looking at him seriously.

"Well, sorry, I thought it was your privacy at the time, it might be better not to mention it, so I didn't tell you."

Wu Luming was silent for a while, then said softly: "I didn't mean to tell you, I didn't know you were at the door at that time."

"I know." Wen Siyuan answered quickly.

Wu Luming was quiet again for a while.

He rubbed the blood stains on his sleeves that couldn't be washed off until they were too wrinkled, before he spoke again: "Did you hear that?"

"Hearing that the little boy was wrongly accused of stealing milk three times and four times."

Wen Siyuan paused for a moment, "What else did you say later?"

Wu Luming's gaze fell briefly.

He stared at the blood stains on his sleeves for a while, as if he was deliberating, and finally looked up at Wen Siyuan again, and said: "It is said that the little boy sent back the first army wrongly, and that he..."

"Hypocrisy, insidiousness, vengeance..."

"A bad guy who is rotten from the inside out" I thought about the words, but I still couldn't utter them.

Wen Siyuan's reaction was surprisingly calm, he asked Wu Luming like chatting: "Why do you say that about him?"

Probably because Wu Luming had already started, Wu Luming didn't think about what he said next.

He said bluntly: "He is such a person, just like just now, if you let him see the wound clearly by the lake, he will definitely throw Cen Xiwen into the lake immediately, and hit Cen Xiwen's shoulder until it is bloody .”

After Wu Luming finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and calmed down, silently waiting for Wen Siyuan's evaluation.

But Wen Siyuan didn't seem to want to comment, just watched him quietly.

Under the long silent gaze, Wu Luming spoke slowly again: "He knew you were in city A, so he was admitted to the university in city A, and he knew you lived alone, so he deliberately asked his cousin to tell you that he was looking for a house. You are in a coffee shop, so you purposely squatted in the sun against the door of the rental agency opposite the coffee shop for you to see, he is such a person with ulterior motives..."

"Wu Luming." Wen Siyuan suddenly interrupted Wu Luming.

It was rare for him to call Wu Luming's full name once.

Wu Luming was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Wen Siyuan.

Wen Siyuan also looked at him, and continued with a calm voice: "You think I'm a blank sheet of paper?"

Wu Luming opened his mouth and remained silent for a long time.

So Wen Siyuan continued to speak.

The sunlight outside the window shone on the glasses, reflecting the light.

After Wu Luming entered the ward for so long, it was the first time that Wen Siyuan looked away from him.

He raised his uninjured hand to take off his glasses, and gently wiped away the non-existent fog on the lenses, his steady voice finally began to fluctuate.

"I have been living in that house since I came to city A when I was in college. I have lived there for nine years. In the past nine years, I have never let anyone stay in my house. Once you come, you can directly grow Wait, why do you think it is?"

The author has something to say:

Friends here I come!

Today is the scene of Xiao Wen's effective confession
