Chapter 5: Old Things
As soon as Wei Lan got out of class, he received a WeChat message from Mu Lin: "Wei Wei, come to your new home for dinner tonight, you must come." ”
Wei Lan's mind suddenly appeared to Mu Lin's hippie smiling face, with a slight disgust on his face, and immediately another message came is a positioning, Wei Lan nodded and frowned, the address on it Wei Lan is not familiar, and then look at the distance Wei Lan took a deep breath and slowly spit out, eating a meal will run through the entire Yangcheng, Yangcheng University is north of Yangcheng and this address is south of Yangcheng, it takes two and a half hours to drive.
Another message came, Wei Lan turned off the location map: "It's a little far, but Wei Wei, you must come." After a glance, he closed the chat page and asked Mu Lin what to do.
Wei Lan made a phone call, went back to the dormitory and changed a set of clothes, a shirt and a pair of black denim shorts, as well as a pair of canvas shoes and a bag or the small black satchel, picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, it was half past five, Wei Lan packed up and went downstairs and just walked out of the door of the dormitory building when he saw a black car parked in front of him, and a man in a black suit stood next to him.
"Drive slower." As he spoke, he threw the key in his hand to Wei Lan.
Wei Lan nodded, opened the door of the cab, sat in, adjusted the seat, started the car skillfully, rolled down the window, made a goodbye gesture to the man outside, stepped on the accelerator, and the car went away.
The man stood still, looking at the tail of the car in the distance, smiling lightly and shaking his head.
Wei Lan drove for nearly three hours, and the traffic jam on the road was so jammed that she wanted to explode Xiang Mulin's head.
Stopping the car, Wei Lan opened the window and looked around, the houses around were all dark, except for the street lights, the house in front of him was lit, and he took out his mobile phone and called Xiang Mulin: "I'm here." ”
"Arrived? Okay, I'll come out to meet you right away. ”
Wei Lan hung up the phone, listening to the voice on the other side of the phone just now, there was some noise, and there must be some friends from Xiang Mulin.
When Xiang Mulin went out, he saw a black Mercedes-Benz car parked at an intersection with lights on, walked quickly to the car, looked at Wei Lan who was sitting in the car and looked at his mobile phone: "Why did you drive your brother's car?" I thought your brother was here too. ”
Wei Lan didn't answer, opened the car door, threw the key to Xiang Mulin, turned around and walked towards the villa.
"Hey, hey." Xiang Mulin looked at Wei Lan's back and slapped his shoulder, okay, I can't afford to provoke it.
Xiang Mulin parked the car and opened the door with Wei Lan and walked in, and the people sitting on the sofa saw that everyone was looking at this side.
"Let me officially introduce to you, my beautiful cousin Wei Lan." Xiang Mu Lin took the lead and applauded, looked at Wei Lan beside him with an indifferent expression, and then smiled awkwardly.
"Hello everyone, I'm Wei Lan." Wei Lan greeted with a polite smile, looked around the decoration in the room, and then looked at the four people on the sofa, one or two of them had seen before, and his eyes paused at He Mu, he was also there.
After the introduction, Wei Lan sat next to He Mu, and the other three people all introduced themselves to Wei Lan one by one, and Wei Lan nodded politely.
"Hello." He Mu looked at Wei Lan sitting beside him and said lightly, holding the beer in his hand.
"Hello." Wei Lan replied in a polite but unfamiliar tone, Wei Lan looked at the skewers on the table, and there were a lot of beers, and he didn't know what to say next.
Wei Lan and He Mu didn't know what to say next, and a voice broke the embarrassment.
"David hasn't come down after answering the phone for so long, Wei Wei, you go and take a look." Xiang Mulin brought a plate of barbecue from the barbecue grill in the backyard into the house.
Davy is here too?
Why didn't you tell her.
Wei Lan got up and walked to the second floor, this was her first time here, and she was not familiar with it, and after going upstairs, she looked left and right and didn't see David.
He Mu heard shouting Wei Lan Wei Wei to Mu Lin, and his eyes looked at Wei Lan again until Wei Lan's figure disappeared at the end of the stairs.
He Mu had met Wei Lan before the student union election, she and Xiang Mulin had no intersection at that time, if it weren't for David, he might not have met her today, Wei Lan gave him the feeling that he was cold, and there was a special attraction.
Wei Lan opened a room near the staircase and saw David sitting on the ground with his hands on his knees, his face shrunk into a ball, his shoulders shrugged and accompanied by the sound of sobbing, Wei Lan tentatively shouted: "David? ”
Is this crying?
David heard that Wei Lan was telling her to look up at Wei Lan and suddenly cry loudly, Wei Lan hurriedly closed the door, walked quickly to David's side and sat on the ground with her, David hugged Wei Lan and cried even more, Wei Lan reached out and patted David's back for a while, she really didn't know what was wrong.
Two minutes later, David was also tired of crying, and slowly turned into a low sob, letting go of his hands, Wei Lan looked at Wei Lan with an aggrieved expression, one hand still touched Wei Lan's clothes, and said with a cry: "Didn't rub your nose?" ”
Wei Lan looked at her and asked gently, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Wei Lan usually speaks very gently, but this sentence is extremely cautious.
David sniffed and sorted out his emotions, and said with a crying voice: "My mom called to say that she and my dad are divorced and I don't have a home. ”
In the past, David always felt that he was the happiest child in the world, and his parents supported each other and loved her very much, so why did he divorce all of a sudden?
"Wei Lan, you said that I don't want a poor dog who has no home and no one wants it now." As he spoke, David's tears began to fall again.
"Nope." Wei Lan wiped away David's tears with her hand, she used to feel like a puppy that no one wanted, but then she met a family member who loved her again.
"Didn't you always want to know what my relationship with Xiang Mulin was? Shall I tell you okay? Wei Lan's tone became lighter and lighter, as if she was coaxing a baby, she really didn't know how to comfort people.
"Aren't you neighbors with Xiang Mulin?"
"Aside from being neighbors, he's also my cousin, and we're not related by blood."
After listening to Wei Lan's words, David's expression became even more puzzled.
Wei Lan said flatly: "My parents divorced when I was thirteen years old, and I cried all the time like you, I thought they were in love with each other, and then my mother told me that in fact, she and my father have always had conflicts, even small things will quarrel in the bedroom." ”
"My parents are very busy at work and rarely communicate, both of them have strong personalities, and then it led to divorce, when I was fifteen years old my mother met my current uncle, my uncle has a son who is six years older than me, they are all very good to me and my mother, Xiang Mulin is my brother's cousin, so he is also my cousin."
David looked at Wei Lan as if he was telling someone else's story, and his tone didn't change, feeling that these things hadn't happened to her.
