Chapter 11: Spring Blossoms
The nanny aunt soon came out and called them for dinner. He Xinyun's husband was on a business trip, so there were only four people at the dinner table, I don't know if He Xinyun intentionally or unintentionally, he specially arranged for Luo Ruan and Wen Naijiu to sit down face to face.
So as long as Luo Ruan raised his head and picked up the vegetables, he could see that Wen was durable. He is somewhat similar to He Xinyun's eyebrows and eyes, but he is completely different from Mengmeng. Luo Ruan can now be sure that Meng Meng and Wen Naijiu are half-brothers. At that time, I came to He Xinyun to eat here, and I was so surprised to see Wen Naijiu, I was so nervous that I didn't pay attention to the details. Wen Naijiu's attitude towards Meng Meng is neither warm nor cold, but Meng Meng seems to know that Wen Naijiu is his brother, no matter how cold Wen Naijiu's attitude is towards him, the child does not hold grudges, and still surrounds him and calls his brother happily.
Wen durable eats very gently, and the posture of the slender finger bones holding chopsticks is also very standardized, chewing and swallowing slowly. Luo Ruan looked at his incorrect posture of holding chopsticks, and sighed at the sky. She didn't know how to hold chopsticks since she was a child, and every time she ate, Lao Luo knocked her hand with chopsticks, but the more she hit, the more she couldn't hold it.
Wen Naijiu seems to prefer vegetarian food, and there are more times when he stir-fried bamboo shoots and lettuce with oyster sauce. Luo Ruan looked at the sauerkraut fish and chicken thighs on the table, she preferred meat!
But the meat and vegetables were too far away, and she was embarrassed to stand up and pick up the pickpockets, so she had to pretend to be reserved and take a bite of rice, and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a lettuce in front of her.
He Xinyun's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Ruan also likes to eat lettuce, oyster sauce lettuce is the most durable favorite dish!"
Luo Ruan's hand shook and almost shook off the lettuce. No matter how stupid she was, she understood the meaning of He Xinyun's words, Yu Guang secretly glanced at Wen Naijiu, who had a faint expression, and thought that He Xinyun was really a good assistant, so she ate the dish into her mouth: "It turns out that Principal Wen likes to eat lettuce......"
Wen Naijiu was not salty or light, looked at her puffed out face, and let out a soft "um".
Luo Ruan chewed the lettuce and swallowed it, and said with sparkling eyes: "It's delicious!"
He Xinyun smiled at this moment: "If it's delicious, eat more!"
Luo Ruan sandwiched another green lettuce, put it in his mouth, and puffed out his mouth to eat it to his heart's content. When she swallowed it and raised her head to pick up the vegetables, she suddenly bumped into Wen Naijiu's gaze, how did she know that the two would meet her eyes, in the end, she was a little weak-hearted, and she was almost choked.
Luo Ruan had no choice but to smile, his calm gaze still fell on her, she shrunk her neck a little nervously, lowered her head and ate obediently.
No more hard boasting!
Wen Naijiu saw her little expression clearly, couldn't help curling the corners of her lips, put down the chopsticks, and said lightly: "I'm done." ”
Meng Meng saw Wen Naijiu put the bowl and put the bowl himself, turned his round eyes, and said in a milky voice: "Mom, I'm done eating too." Then he jumped out of his chair and hurriedly followed Wen Jiu's footsteps upstairs.
Waiting for the temperature durability and the misty figure did not enter the second floor, Luo Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the cup and took a big sip of water, he was really choked just now.
How did she know that Wen Naijiu would suddenly look at herself!
After eating, Luo Ruan was about to go upstairs to find Meng Meng, He Xinyun suddenly grabbed her and asked with a smile: "Xiao Ruan likes durability, right?"
She asked directly, and Luo Ruan said with a shocked face: "Auntie, I, I ......"
He Xinyun covered his mouth and smiled: "I can see it." ”
Luo Ruan pinched his fingers and whispered, "It turns out that Auntie can see it." ”
"Durable ......" He Xinyun paused, with a trace of sorrow in his eyebrows, "You can also see that Durable has a bad relationship with me, if I hadn't insisted that he come over for dinner, he probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to come." ”
Luo Ruan nodded, thought about it and couldn't help but ask, "Then you and Principal Wen's father ......?"
A hint of surprise flashed in He Xinyun's eyes, and after a few seconds, she said slowly: "When Durable was eighteen years old, his father, who was my ex-husband, was in a car accident and left, and I just happened to find out that I was pregnant...... Actually, my ex-husband and I divorced a long time ago, but I didn't tell Durance, so Durance always thought that I betrayed my ex-husband. ”
The ex-husband is more ambitious, he returns every night, ignoring her and the durable mother and son in life, she can't understand his career, so the two have been quarreling, and finally this marriage ended in divorce. He Xinyun also knew why Wen Naijiu didn't forgive herself, because when she remarried, she never mentioned it in front of him, she sighed: "Actually, I also know that he hates me for deceiving him." ”
Wen Naijiu's father is a professor at the academy, and his mother is a calligraphy teacher. But Wen Naijiu didn't expect that his father died unexpectedly, his mother remarried and had children, and the envy of others turned into after-dinner chatter, he was young at that time, he couldn't accept it, and even hated his mother's deception.
Even if I grew up and knew what was going on, I couldn't get over this hurdle in my heart, and over time I didn't kiss my mother. In addition, He Xinyun's life is also good, he has a husband and children, so he can't say anything if he wants to fix it.
Luo Ruan sighed after hearing this, only felt that her heart was astringent, and she felt distressed for Wen Naijiu, who was only eighteen years old at the time, she understood that feeling, and suddenly one day he found that all this was an illusion, and no one could bear it. She gently comforted He Xinyun and said, "Auntie, Principal Wen will understand you." ”
He Xinyun continued: "At that time, he was still studying architecture at the university in London, England, because my ex-husband hoped that he could take over his career, so he did not hesitate to change his major and went to the School of Management...... Actually, I don't agree with him following the old path of his ex-husband, I prefer him to do what he likes. Speaking of this, He Xinyun pulled a wry smile on his lips, his eyes were full of helplessness and melancholy, "But Durable is a stubborn and stubborn child, and what he believes will not change, this is a disadvantage and his advantage!"
After He Xinyun finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that his complaint would scare Luo Ruan, so he patted her hand lightly, smiled and said: "Durable, he is not as difficult to approach as he seems, in fact, his heart is very kind." "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to eat at home, and I wouldn't have accepted Luo Ruan.
Luo Ruan knew, she knew. The warm and durable heart, the temperature of the winter sun, quietly blooms a flower in her icy and snowy world, and the spring flowers bloom is joy. Luo Ruan subconsciously looked at the top of his head, Wen Durable, who was on the second floor at the moment, didn't know what he was doing.
She clutched her chest, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, it was about to burst out, and she knew that she was really finished.
When Luo Ruan went upstairs, Meng Meng was shooting the ball in the bedroom, and the three-colored balls bounced and jumped on the ground, and he was playing so happily: "One! two! three...... Sister Xiao Ruan, you play ball with me!"
Luo Ruan looked around, but she didn't see Wen Naijiu's figure, she approached Meng Meng and asked quietly, "Where is my brother?"
"Brother on the balcony. Meng Meng quickly took the ball and held it in his arms, and volunteered, "I'll take you to my brother." ”
"No, it's not......" Before Luo Ruan could say anything, Meng Meng held the ball in his left hand and pulled her with his right hand, and he didn't forget to shout loudly, "Brother, Sister Xiao Ruan is looking for you!
"Meng Meng ......" Luo Ruan was speechless, feeling that his head was big, and hurriedly ran in to pull Meng Meng back, but Wen Naijiu on the balcony had already heard it.
The colorful clouds and the moon printed half of the sky red, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the railing, crossing a halo. Wen Naijiu hung up the phone, and heard a crisp children's voice behind him: "Sister Xiao Ruan, brother is here!"
When he turned around, he saw the little boy jumping in front of him, followed by Luo Ruan, who was obviously very nervous. The girl's clear eyes met his gaze, but after a second, she looked away, and her suspicious expression seemed to have done something unpleasant.
Wen closed his eyes durably, his hand unconsciously rubbed the Buddha beads on his wrist, and his tone was light and slow: "Something?"
Luo Ruan twisted and replied, "No, it's okay." ”
Wen Naijiu raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing the girl's answer, and asked rhetorically, "Huh?"
Luo Ruan's embarrassment......
"It's fine. She waved her hand vigorously, for fear that the other party would not believe her, and explained, "It's really okay, Principal Wen, you are busy, haha......" She said and stepped back, not forgetting Lalamon's clothes.
"Sister Xiao Ruan. Meng Meng looked up at her, and her bright eyes were full of doubt: "But just now you obviously asked where my brother was." ”
Luo Ruan staggered, didn't dare to look at Wen Yanjiu's direction, and said with a dry smile: "Mengmeng, I'll just ask, ask...... Principal Wen, excuse me. ”
She pulled Meng Meng and dragged the boy out.
Wen was noncommittal, watching a big and a small escape out of the door, and at the end, he didn't forget to come back and close the door. He raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Luo Ruan closed the door and leaned against the door with a sigh of relief.
"Sister Xiao Ruan, why are we leaving? Aren't you going to play with your brother?"
She looked at the innocent Meng Meng with an innocent face, and couldn't help but laugh and wanted to say something serious, this little kid is really eccentric! She looked down at her watch, it was getting late, it was time to go back to school.
Luo Ruan bent down and said to Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, it's my sister who is going back." ”
When Meng Meng heard this, she jumped up and hugged her legs: "Sister Xiao Ruan, don't go back." ”
Luo Ruan touched his head and whispered, "Sister, will you come back to play with Meng Meng in a few days?"
Meng Meng shook his head, a non-negotiable expression.
She couldn't cry or laugh, and helped Meng Meng to stand up: "Sister Xiao Ruan has something very important, she must go back." ”
Meng Meng was unhappy and pouted.
Luo Ruan was amused by him: "Sister Xiao Ruan is home, Meng Meng can play with her brother." ”
Meng Meng lowered his eyes and said sullenly: "My brother doesn't like Meng Meng." ”
Luo Ruan paused: "How can my brother not like Mengmeng? My sister likes Mengmeng, and my brother also likes Mengmeng." ”
Meng Meng pouted and asked, "Then why doesn't my brother ignore Meng Meng?"
"Brother-" Luo Ruan was about to speak, but Wen Naijiu opened the door and came out of it.
Meng Meng turned his back to him and didn't hear it, his mouth pursed, and his eyes were red as if he was about to cry in the next second: "Mom said that my brother is Mengmeng's brother, and I am not allowed to rob my brother's things, nor do I bother my brother...... But Mengmeng wants to shoot a ball with his brother and wants to eat hamburgers with his brother. ”
Luo Ruan subconsciously glanced at Wen Naijiu, obviously, he also heard these words, and even stopped his steps. He lowered his eyes, but said nothing, and looked at Luo Ruan with deep eyes, as if wondering what she would say to comfort the little boy.
