Blow

The three divided into two groups at the gate of the airport.

Fu Ningyu was relieved, and got into the taxi first as if fleeing.Wen Xiao was amused, took Xia Jue into another car, and returned to Jinyue Garden.

The living room was deserted, but the door to the upstairs study was shut.Wen Xiao and Xia Jue carried their suitcases into the bedroom. After a while, Wen Rushi walked out of the study and came to the door of their room with a surprised expression.

"Why are you back?" Wen Rushi asked strangely, "Didn't you mean to travel?"

Wen Xiao said, "It's too crowded outside."

Wen Ru looked at his expression, and smiled: "Is it too crowded outside, or do you have to come back and ask for clarification? It made Xiao Xia unable to go out to play even during the holiday."

"I'm fine." Xia Jue said quickly.

While talking, there was another commotion upstairs.The door of the study was pushed open again, and Lou Shanguan also came out, lying on the guardrail of the corridor and looking down, seeing Wen Xiao and Xia Jue, he was stunned for a moment.

Wen Xiao glanced up at him, and asked Wen Rushi, "Does he not go to school?"

Before Wen Rushi answered, Lou Shanguan heard it and explained to himself: "School is on holiday, I'm here to work overtime."

As he spoke, he walked down the stairs quickly, and greeted Wen Xiao and Xia Jue with a smile.

Wen Xiao was filled with a lingering sense of awkwardness, reluctantly responded, but still couldn't calmly face the fact that Wen Rushi might associate with Lou Shanguan.

What's more, Lou Shanguan hadn't left until after dinner.

"He..." Wen Xiao couldn't help looking at Wen Rushi, and asked in a low voice, "You let him stay?"

Wen Rushi said: "It's a holiday, it's convenient for work, anyway, there is one more guest room."

Wen Xiao couldn't help frowning.

"Okay," Wen Rushi changed the subject, "Come here, and ask whatever you want. You really want to come back and bring Xiaoxia with you."

Wen Xiao followed her into the study room, closed the door, and blocked the movement on the TV below, as well as the voices of Lou Shanguan and Xia Jue.

"Is the company okay?" Wen Xiao asked in the quiet room.

Wen Rushi said: "There is no 'problem' as you call it, it's just that I am making a plan to cancel the company next year."

Wen Xiao was taken aback, she didn't expect her to say something so bluntly all of a sudden.

"Scared?" Wen Ru smiled when he saw this, "What are you afraid of? I didn't discuss it with you because I didn't want to distract you from your studies. Anyway, my sister won't let you sleep on the street."

Wen Xiao subconsciously said, "I'm not afraid."

Wen Rushi flipped through the documents on the table, and continued: "It's not that the business is not doing well, nor is it losing money, I just...you should understand. Anyway, since I took over, what I have been doing is to slowly leave my mother behind." The gallery is spun off from Dad's company."

Wen Xiao didn't know these things for a long time, but he quickly realized and asked, "So that 'Uncle Shao' doesn't want you to cancel Dad's company? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"There's no need for that," Wen Rushi opened a file folder to show him, "I've already arranged the specific matters, and it's not convenient for me to do them, so I can ask Xiao Guan to help me move around."

Wen Xiao took it and glanced at it for a few times, then went back, and said in a strange tone: "Xiao Guan?"

Wen Rushi also looked at him with a subtle look: "I don't know what's the matter with you. You are so hostile to him. This time, Shao Hai's matter is thanks to his help."

Wen Xiao said, "I wasn't there at the time."

The implication is that if he is here, no matter what kind of help Loushanguan helps, he can do the same.

"What do you compare with him? You are my younger brother," Wen Rushi said, "and it is true that he can handle this matter, but you cannot: Shao Hai and Dad don't have a deep friendship, but at least there is a little bit, so there are some things I don't know. It’s not convenient for you and me to come forward directly, so let him take the lead—as long as he can withstand the pressure.”

Wen Xiao asked: "He resisted?"

"Yes," Wen Rushi nodded and replied, "He can help me a lot."

Wen Xiao fell silent.

"So I told you not to worry," Wen Rushi said again, "There is no need. Yes, you are the same age as Xiaoguan, but you and Xia Jue are also the same age. It is good that you and him can support each other. About me and the company?"

Wen Xiao blurted out, "You are my sister."

Wen Rushi smiled, and said softly: "I didn't say no. It's just that you suspect that something happened to the company this time, and because you were worried about me and asked me questions face-to-face, you originally wanted to go out with Xiao Xia. Now Is it not good to just bring people back home? When I was your age, I was still studying abroad, how can you worry about me like this. "

"I—" Wen Xiao didn't understand what she meant.

Wen Rushi sighed, and said: "You two are too sensible. Eighteen or nineteen years old, early twenties, this age group is the most important time for self-development, you can chase whatever you want, and you can dream any dream Realized. Sometimes I really want to say, can you be more self-willed?"

The more Wen Xiao listened, the more surprised he became, and he looked at her in astonishment.

"There is also Xiaoguan," Wen Ru said, "I know his age, and I know the age difference between us. I let him practice and let him help the company because I told him early in the morning that I am not A student in his teens and 20s, since he wants to associate with me, he must at least stand at the same stage as me, and if he can’t reach it, he will give up. As a result, he has worked hard to do it, and he is slowly doing it.”

Wen Xiao moved his lips and said, "Has he ever thought about how to tell his parents?"

Wen Rushi shook his head, not knowing what it meant.When Wen Xiao wanted to continue asking, there was a knock on the study door.

"Wen Xiao?" Xia Jue called softly outside.

Wen Xiao got up reflexively, and looked back at Wen Rushi.Wen Rushi fiddled with the hair next to his ear, and said, "Remember to take me out to play tomorrow."

Wen Xiao responded with a low voice, opened the door and went out, then closed the door behind his back.

"What's the matter?" He looked at Xia Jue outside the door, and found that Lou Shanguan was not in the living room, but was standing on the stairs, looking over here.

Xia Jue said in a low voice, "It's nothing, but Lou Shan Guan was worried that you guys would quarrel, so he asked me to knock on the door to have a look."

Wen Xiao asked, "Did he not dare?"

Xia Jue said: "It's not that I dare not. He is afraid that if there is a quarrel because of him and he appears again, my sister will be embarrassed."

Wen Xiao paused after hearing this, and led Xia Jue downstairs.

Passing by Loushan Pass on the way, Loushan Pass took the initiative to call out: "Brother Wen."

He had yelled that before.Wen Xiao stopped, and asked lightly, "Is that an appropriate name for you?"

Lou Shanguan was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to realize that Wen Xiao had accepted his ambiguous relationship with Wen Rushi by default, Wen Xiao had already walked away with Xia Jue and returned to the bedroom on the second floor.

The next day, which was the first day of the [-]th Golden Week, Wen Xiao took Xia Jue to an ancient water town near Juzhou.

This is a remote place, because it is not well-known and there are not many people, so it is leisurely and comfortable to visit.Wen Xiao led Xia Jue and walked on the ancient stone road with ravines and ravines. He suddenly felt emotional: They lived together in Juzhou for so long, because they first repeated their studies and then studied painting in the summer vacation, so they never had the opportunity to travel around.

It seems that in the past year or so, except for the school, his home, Echo Gallery, and shopping malls in downtown Juzhou, Xia Jue didn't know anything about the rest of the place.

And Wen Xiao himself is a native, not only in Juzhou, but also in the counties and towns around Juzhou. There are memories of his growing up everywhere.

"I came here when I was a child," Wen Xiao said suddenly after walking like this for a while, and squeezed Xia Jue's hand a little tighter. "At that time, my sister was still in China, and my mother was not sick. We are a family of four, living together Boats have been rowed on this river."

Xia Jue followed his line of sight to the meandering river beside him, as if he really saw little Wen Xiao, with his father, mother, and sister, playing in a boat on the sparkling water.

Wen Xiao continued: "There is also that bridge. I was ignorant at the time, and used a stone to draw words on the guardrail at the end of the bridge. As soon as I made a stroke, my father caught me and beat me up in public."

Then the two went on the bridge together, and Wen Xiao probably delineated the place where he had scratched from his memory, but that trace had been worn away by time and was obliterated in more wind and frost.

Wen Xiao bent down and stretched out his hands to grope carefully, but he still couldn't find it.He stood up and looked at Xia Jue. Xia Jue blinked and said, "I saw it."

"Where is it?" Wen Xiao asked.

Xia Jue patted her chest lightly: "Here."

……

Wen Xiao looked at him, and really didn't understand what was going on, why they could always communicate so easily, could always understand each other's unspoken words, and always knew the other's other intentions in every move.

Wen Xiao couldn't help touching Xia Jue's hair, and pinned the drooping lock behind his ear, revealing a small white ear, and the silver stud on the earlobe gleamed slightly under the clear sky.

Xia Jue pretended to hide vigilantly, and muttered, "Don't even try to kiss me here."

Wen Xiao said, "Not here."

They turned into narrow, winding alleys.A tall maple tree sticks out from the fence of a house, its branches hang down, forming a looming shelter.

Wen Xiao pulled Xia Jue to walk a few steps quickly, then suddenly pushed him against the wall.

The sunlight pierced through the orange-red leaves, making Xia Jue's face extraordinarily beautiful.His eyelashes moved slightly, like a maple leaf. The arrogant wild horse galloped past, bringing a wild whirlwind and blowing him tremblingly.

With a "squeak", the door next to it opened, and the two of them separated in shock.An old woman came out with a vegetable basket, her eyes were probably dim, and she could only see that their hair was long and short, their postures were intimate, and they were smiling gratifyingly.

Wen Xiao politely returned a smile, then calmly hugged Xia Jue's shoulders, and led him away.

Xia Jue was blushing all the way, and when he got to a place where no one was around, he finally couldn't help pinching Wen Xiao's waist, and said, "It's all you, but that's at the door of his house! When we go back, I..."

Wen Xiao didn't wait for him to finish his complaint, and whispered something in his ear.This time, Xia Jue's neck turned red.
