"I take you with me like I take my son."

This sentence is what Wen Wenyao said to Bai Yangyu before he took Bai Yangyu to his junior brother's laboratory.

At that time, Bai Yangyu answered him like this: "You are much more responsible than him."

The senior sister in the laboratory was very enthusiastic, and took Bai Yangyu around to let him familiarize himself with the environment, and told him that if he didn't understand anything in the future, he could ask the senior brothers and sisters in the laboratory.

Bai Yangyu thanked him, and as soon as he came out of the laboratory, he saw Wen Wenyao and his junior brother smoking a cigarette standing in front of a window at the end of the corridor.

The weather is fine today, the sun shines in from the window, and shines on Wen Wenyao's body, coating his short hair with a circle of soft golden light. His posture is very casual, with one long leg almost stepping on the window sill , leaning forward slightly, listening to his junior brother speak.

Wen Wenyao didn't know what the young man beside him said. Wen Wenyao laughed wantonly, and there were a few faint lines of laughter in the corners of his eyes, reminding Bai Yangyu that this young-looking man was already 30 years old, and he was his teacher.

The senior sister who led the way for Bai Yangyu came out of the laboratory, and saw Wen Wenyao who was laughing, and suddenly said, "Teacher Wen is so handsome."

Bai Yangyu looked at her upon hearing this.

Seeing Bai Yangyu looking at her, the senior sister smiled and said: "He is a god-level character in the cardiology department, and he is still single."

Wen Wenyao seemed to have heard the voice of the people talking here, he turned his head to see Bai Yangyu, raised his jaw slightly at him, and raised the corners of his eyes.

Even though he knew that such a description was inappropriate, four words still popped out of Bai Yangyu's head at that moment: Bright and beautiful!

After half a month, Bai Chong came back.

During these half a month, Song Wenran took Wen Wenqian to and from school every day, cooked for her, and when Wen Wenqian went to kindergarten, he went to the Muay Thai gym as a training partner.

It seems that there is nothing to do, but every day is very fulfilling.

When he received the call from Bai Chong, Song Wenran had just finished a set of push-ups. Sweat slid from his short hair along his cheeks and dripped onto his smooth shoulders.

Seeing that it was Bai Chong's call, he tried to calm his breath, but his voice was still panting slightly, and said, "Mr. Bai?"

Bai Chong fell silent for a while, and asked him, "Busy?"

"I'm exercising," Song Wenran closed his eyes with sweat flowing into his eyes, then raised his head and explained, "I'm not busy, tell me if you have something to do."

Bai Chong said: "My plane will arrive at 02:30 tomorrow afternoon, you can drive to the airport to pick me up."

"Okay," Song Wenran took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face.

"But before you come to the airport, you go to my house first, pick up Ziqi, and come to the airport with him," Bai Chong added.

Song Wenran asked: "Does he know?"

Bai Chong said, "I'll call him."

Only then did Song Wenran respond, "Okay, Mr. Bai."

During Bai Chong's business trip, his Hongqi car had been parked in the underground parking lot of the hospital.At noon the next day, Song Wenran went to the hospital and drove directly to Bai Chong's house, picking Bai Ziqi into the car first.

Bai Ziqi is still a teenager, with a delicate appearance, but he can see the shadow of Bai Chong.He received a call from Bai Chong in advance, and Song Wenran was already waiting for him on the first floor.

Today Bai Ziqi was wearing a baseball shirt, a pair of harem pants underneath, and a baseball cap on his head. It looked like he was going to skateboard on the street.He probably still had resentment towards Song Wenran, and after getting in the car, he sat in the back seat and didn't say a word to Song Wenran.

Song Wenran drove the car to the airport, pulled the door to get out of the car after parking, but saw Bai Ziqi still sitting in the back seat, bent down and asked him from the front door: "Aren't you going to pick up your father?"

Bai Ziqi ignored him, and he didn't look like he planned to get out of the car.

Song Wenran had no choice but to close the car door, and walked towards the terminal building by himself.

Bai Chong's plane was not delayed, and Song Wenran arrived at the airport 15 minutes earlier. After waiting for not too long, he saw a sign indicating that Bai Chong's flight had arrived at the airport.

After waiting for a while, Song Wenran saw the slender Bai Chong coming out of the room pushing a black suitcase.

Bai Chong saw Song Wenran at a glance. He pushed the box all the way to Song Wenran and stopped. He lowered his head slightly, looked into Song Wenran's eyes, and said, "Are you alone?"

Song Wenran reached out to pick up Bai Chong's luggage, and said at the same time, "Ziqi is waiting for you in the car."

Bai Chong nodded, Song Wenran grabbed the push rod of his suitcase, but he didn't let go immediately, but looked down at Song Wenran's slender fingers, and then moved his hand from the push rod Open, said: "Let's go."

Song Wenran led the way, and he took Bai Chong back to the place where he parked, opened the trunk of the car, and put the suitcase in it.

At this time, Bai Chong had already opened the door of the back seat and sat in.

When Song Wenran returned to his driver's seat, he felt that the atmosphere between the father and son in the back row was not very good.

Bai Ziqi looked up with the typical rebelliousness of young people. Bai Chong didn't talk to him, but after Song Wenran started the car, he said plainly, "Let's go to the mall first."

"Okay," Song Wenran replied.

According to Bai Chong's instructions, Song Wenran drove directly to a commercial area not far from the airport. When he parked his car in the underground parking lot, he had roughly guessed what Bai Chong's plans were.

It's just that Bai Chong said to him when he got off the car: "You come together."

Song Wenran was a little surprised, but he responded immediately: "Okay."

Bai Chong took Bai Ziqi and Song Wenran straight to the men's clothing department of the mall, found a men's clothing counter that looked relatively young, and asked the teller to match Bai Ziqi with a more formal-looking outfit.

Although Bai Ziqi looked reluctant, seeing Bai Chong sitting down on the sofa next to him with a sullen face, he still picked up the clothes that the lady at the counter matched him, and obediently went into the fitting room.

Song Wenran stood beside him, subconsciously straightening his back.

"You can also choose two sets of clothes," Bai Chong said suddenly looking up at him.

Song Wenran's first reaction was that he was not dressed properly enough, which made Bai Chong disgusted, so he couldn't help but look down.

Bai Chong guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to give it to you as a gift."

Song Wenran said quickly after hearing the words: "Thank you, Mr. Bai, I don't need this, so I don't need to waste your money."

Bai Chong stood up, walked to the hanger where a row of clothes were hanging, picked up a black casual suit, and asked Song Wenran, "What do you think of this suit?"

The lady at the counter who followed him said before Song Wenran could speak: "This gentleman has a good figure, this suit must be very suitable for him."

Bai Chong took a look at Song Wenran, handed the suit to the counter lady, and then said, "Go and try it, it's still early anyway."

Hearing that Bai Chong's attitude was so firm, Song Wenran was embarrassed to insist on refusing. He nodded and followed the counter lady into the fitting room.

When Song Wenran changed his clothes and came out of the fitting room, he saw Bai Ziqi dressed up and standing beside Bai Chong.Bai Chong was originally talking to Bai Ziqi, when he heard the voice, he turned his head to look at Song Wenran, and said, "It's very good, keep this suit."

Song Wenran still felt that it was unnecessary, but he didn't insist on refusing. He just nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bai."

In the evening, Bai Chong took Bai Ziqi to a dinner.

After Song Wenran sent them to the restaurant, he found a place to park and eat by himself. When the dinner was over, Bai Chong would naturally call him.

Sitting down in a small noodle shop nearby, Song Wenran asked the boss to cook a bowl of mixed sauce noodles, and then took out his mobile phone to call Wen Wenhao.He asked Wen Wenhao if he had gone to pick up Wen Qian, and asked how Wen Qian was doing today. The little girl seemed to have diarrhea last night.

On the other side of the phone, Wen Wenqian heard that Wen Wenhao was on the phone with Song Wenran, so she tiptoed to grab the phone. She wanted to talk to Song Wenran.

Wen Wenhao had no choice but to hand the phone to Wen Wenqian, who called out childishly, "Second brother."

Even though they are younger sisters, the age gap will always make Song Wenran feel like a father-daughter dislocation. He holds the mobile phone in one hand, and pulls out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder with the other hand, and said in a soft voice: "Are you obedient in the kindergarten today?" ?”

Wen Wenqian said "hmm" and asked him, "When are you coming to pick me up?"

Song Wenran glanced outside the noodle shop, his car was parked next to the opposite street, and said, "I don't know, you go to sleep when you get tired later, don't wait for me."

Wen Wenqian said seriously: "I will wait for you."

When he hung up the phone, Song Wenran couldn't help but tilt his mouth up slightly, just as the boss put his mixed sauce noodles in front of him, he thanked him, picked up the noodles with his chopsticks, and started to eat.

Bai Chong and the others ate this meal for nearly two hours.

It was almost time, Song Wenran parked the car outside the restaurant and waited for them, first he saw Bai Ziqi coming out of the restaurant angrily, and after a while he saw Bai Chong's unhurried figure.

The father and son got into the car and didn't speak.

The atmosphere was really bad, and Song Wenran couldn't ask Bai Chong if he wanted to go home, so he simply started the car and drove towards Bai's house.

Bai Ziqi said at this moment: "I won't live on campus."

Bai Chong said, "You have the final say?"

It sounded like a question, but it didn't mean to ask Bai Ziqi's opinion at all.

Bai Ziqi was full of resentment, "So why can't I have opinions on my own affairs?"

Bai Chong said to him: "Because I am still your guardian, do you know what guardian means?"

"Arbitrariness! Dictatorship!" Bai Ziqi scolded his father loudly, and then yelled at Song Wenran, "Stop!"

Song Wenran hesitated for a moment. He looked at Bai Chong from the rearview mirror, hoping to listen to Bai Chong's opinion.

As a result, Bai Chong said to him, "Stop the car."

Song Wenran parked the car on the side of the road, Bai Ziqi opened the door to get out of the car, slammed the door hard, turned around and ran along the road.

"Don't you care about him?" Song Wenran was a little worried.

Bai Chong said, "Don't worry about him, he's already a boy."

Song Wenran silently drove the car forward again.

The carriage was very quiet for a while. Bai Chong sat in the back seat and looked out of the car window. When the car passed a street and stopped to wait for a red light, he suddenly said, "Ziqi's mother passed away early. No one has been able to control him, so he has developed his current character."

Song Wenran listened quietly. He felt that Bai Chong probably just wanted to find someone to confide in, so he said carefully, "I think he might be looking forward to his father's company."

Bai Chong's voice was deep and magnetic. When he spoke, Song Wenran had the illusion that he was listening to a late-night radio program. He said, "I know, but I can't help it. I have my own business, and I want to make money to provide him with good services. Living environment and material conditions, although I know that children need the company of their parents more, I have to make a choice."

Song Wenran didn't speak.

Bai Chong closed his eyes wearily, "Even if I were given a chance to do it all over again, I might still make this choice."

Song Wenran thought for a while and said, "Then you can communicate with him more now."

Bai Ziqi would scold Bai Chong for being arbitrary, but Song Wenran felt that it was not completely unreasonable.

Bai Chongwen said with a smile, "Some things should or shouldn't be that simple." Then he asked Song Wenran, "What about you? I heard from Old Xiong that when he knew you, you were serving in the peacekeeping force?"

Song Wenran froze for a moment before realizing that the old Xiong he was talking about was the boss Xiong from the logistics group. He rubbed his palm on the steering wheel and said, "Yes, he was on a peacekeeping mission at that time."

"So good, why do you want to come to the school as a security guard?"

Song Wenran smiled self-deprecatingly, "If conditions permit, I am willing to stay in the army for a few more years and wait for a change of job, or use a sum of money to start a small business or investment, and at the same time read some books. But the conditions are not allowed, so now There's nothing wrong with that, a job."

Bai Chong didn't speak.

Song Wenran accidentally raised his head to look in the rearview mirror, only to realize that Bai Chong had been looking at him.

Being watched by people like Bai Chong with such scrutiny, Song Wenran was somewhat uncomfortable. He moved his body slightly on the seat, looked straight ahead and began to concentrate on driving.
