leaving marks

Bai Yangyu took a few deep breaths, recovered from his initial strength, and followed Wen Wenyao into the kitchen.

As a result, just as he stepped in with one foot, he heard Wen Wenyao, who was washing dishes with his back facing him, say, "I'm counting one, two, three now, and you disappear from my house before I finish counting."

Bai Yangyu struggled and said: "Teacher..."

Wen Wenyao has already started counting: "One."

Bai Yangyu stared at his back and began to engage in a fierce ideological struggle.

"two."

After his ideological struggle was over, he felt that it would be better to keep the green hills and let Wen Wenyao calm down, so he said, "Teacher, I'll come back tomorrow." After speaking, he turned and limped towards the gate. go.

Song Wenran saw Bai Yangyu open the door in the living room, and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Bai Yangyu nodded to him, "I'll go first."

Song Wenran didn't know what happened to them, so he could only say, "Go slowly."

Here Bai Yangyu just left, and Wen Wenqian came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She ran out all the way and rushed into Song Wenran's arms, "Second brother!"

Song Wenran picked her up, "Did you take a shower?"

When Wen Wenqian heard Song Wenran coming after taking a bath, she couldn't help speeding up to wipe her body and put on clothes. She was afraid that if she didn't come out, Song Wenran would leave first.

"The washing is done!" Wen Qian said, "We can go home now."

Wen Wenyao walked to the door of the kitchen, his hands were still wet, he felt that Wen Wenqian was a bit heartless, but he still said indifferently: "Go quickly."

"Brother," Song Wenran said while hugging Wen Qian, "how is your injury?"

Wen Wenyao shook his head subconsciously, "It's not like that."

Song Wenran asked him, "Then when will you go back to work?"

Wen Wenyao felt that there was something else in his question, so he squinted at him and said, "What are you trying to say?"

Song Wenran smiled, "I'm going to accompany Dean Bai back to my hometown on New Year's Day. If it's convenient, I want Wen Qian to stay with you."

Before Wen Wenyao answered, Wen Wenqian, who was being hugged by Song Wenran, was already staring at him blankly, she pursed her lips a little and immediately retracted them, she wrapped her hands around Song Wenran's neck, buried her face on his shoulders, nothing happened explain.

Wen Wenyao originally wanted to refuse without hesitation, but seeing Wen Wenqian's small expression, he immediately hesitated.

Song Wenran said: "If it's not convenient, I'll go to Wen Hao."

Wen Wenyao gave a "tsk", "Leave her here first, if it's not convenient, I'll send her to Wen Hao."

Song Wenran nodded with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Wen Wenyao waved his hand and said nothing.

-

During the three-day New Year's Day holiday, Bai Chong planned to go back to his hometown. He had already told Song Wenran in advance to arrange the time for these few days.

Bai Chong's hometown is nearly four hours' drive from Chongfeng City, not too far but not too close.The meaning of Bai Chong asking Song Wenran to arrange the time is naturally that he will be with Bai Chong when he goes back in the next few days, and he will come back with Bai Chong when the New Year's Day is over.

In order to prevent being blocked on the highway when going out, Song Wenran picked up Bai Chong at 06:30 on the morning of New Year's Day and set off.

When Bai Chong got into the car, Song Wenran couldn't restrain his physical reaction and yawned.

"Very sleepy?" Bai Chong asked him.

Song Wenran raised his hand to wipe his eyes, "No, let's go."

"If you are really sleepy," Bai Chong spoke slowly, "then take a rest first."

Song Wenran looked at him from the rearview mirror, "I'm really not sleepy, Mr. Bai, don't worry, I will deliver you safely."

Bai Chong leaned back and looked out the car window, "I'm more worried about you."

It was still early for them to set off, and they were still unimpeded until they got on the expressway.

Song Wenran didn't yawn anymore, and Bai Chong sat very quietly in the back seat, not talking to him all the way.

When it was almost noon, Bai Chong stared at the road sign on the expressway outside, and said to Song Wenran, "The next exit is ready."

Song Wenran responded, "Okay."

He pulled over to slow down as the car approached the next exit, and then exited the highway.

Bai Chongming sat up straight and looked out the car window.

Song Wenran slowly approached the toll booth and asked him, "How long has it been since Mr. Bai returned to his hometown?"

Bai Chong said: "I go back every year, but the last time was during the Chinese New Year, forget it, it will be almost a year."

"It shouldn't be a big change in a year, right?" Song Wenran said softly, driving the car slowly through the open toll booth, and then stopped on the side of the road to turn on the navigation.

"No need for navigation," Bai Chong said suddenly, "Let me drive."

Song Wenran paused, and when he turned to look at Bai Chong, Bai Chong had already opened the door and got out of the car.

Song Wenran also had no choice but to get out of the car. Seeing that Bai Chong closed the car door and was about to walk around to the driver's seat, he quickly went up to meet him and said, "You don't need to come. I can use the navigation or you can show me the way. Where do I need you to drive?"

Bai Chong stood in front of Song Wenran, staring straight into his eyes, "Are you tired?"

Song Wenran had been driving continuously for more than three hours, and he was indeed a little tired. His eyes turned slightly red when he was stimulated by the cold air outside the car, but he insisted, "I'm not tired. If you don't worry, let's rest for a while and eat something before leaving. Let me drive it."

Bai Chong raised one hand, hesitated to pat him on the shoulder, then put it down quickly, "Go and sit in the co-pilot, and I'll take you to eat something delicious."

After finishing speaking, Bai Chong bypassed Song Wenran and continued to walk to the driver's seat.

Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Song Wenran felt a little uneasy and helpless, so he had no choice but to go to the co-pilot and sit down.

This was the first time Song Wenran sat in the co-pilot's seat and watched Bai Chong drive.

Bai Chong's driving habit is very calm, not in a hurry or rash, and Song Wenran's only feeling in the car is stability.

The high-speed exit leads to a small county town, a very ordinary county town, with many six or seven-story buildings built, and some bungalows that have not been demolished are scattered here and there.

Bai Chong said while driving: "It used to be very poor here."

Song Wenran looked at the dim gray building outside the car window, knowing that even now this place is not rich.

Bai Chong didn't drive into the county seat, but just drove forward along the road around the city. He said he didn't have lunch, and his family prepared lunch for them.

In fact, Song Wenran was already feeling very hungry, but since Bai Chong said so, he obediently nodded and said yes.

After that, the buildings on both sides of the road became less and less, and turned into some low houses far apart and large tracts of farmland.

Song Wenran stared at the large field outside, and asked Bai Chong, "Mr. Bai, your family is from the countryside?"

Bai Chong nodded.

Song Wenran remembered that Bai Chong said that his family was very poor when he was a child, so he was silent for a moment, and said: "When I was a child, the family conditions were also very poor. Didn't you ask me about my relationship with my elder brother? Our parents divorced when we were young, and I lived with my mother. , he lived with his father and lived in different cities, and the two sides had no contact. My mother took me very hard by herself, and she quickly found a boyfriend who treated her badly and beat me often."

Having said that, Bai Chong turned his head and took a quick look at Song Wenran.

Song Wenran continued: "The most difficult time was when my mother went out to work the evening shift. He didn't give me food, so I locked myself in the room and was so hungry that I could only cry."

Bai Chong moved his hands while holding the steering wheel. He really wanted to reach out and touch the top of Song Wenran's head, but he tried his best to hold back.

Song Wenran took a deep breath, "It's all happened in the past. At that time, I thought the sky was going to fall. Now I think about it, it's just like that. It's not a big deal."

Bai Chong asked him: "So you are always considerate and careful with people?"

Song Wenran thought for a while, then turned his head and asked him, "Do I have any?"

Bai Chong smiled, nodded and said, "Yes. You are a little sensitive and care about other people's feelings very much. The reason why I want to develop this kind of character may be that I have never felt safe since I was a child."

Song Wenran said, "I really don't know."

Bai Chong just smiled, and he drove the car around an intersection in front of him, and drove from the wide and flat road onto the country lane.It was lunch time, and there were no people and no cars on the small road. Occasionally, two or three children were chasing by the side of the road, and when they saw a car approaching, they avoided it far away.

They drove along the path for another ten minutes. Bai Chong parked the car in front of the iron gate of a small farmyard and honked the horn.

Immediately there was the sound of a big dog barking in the yard, and soon there were footsteps in the yard, and then someone opened the gate from inside.

Song Wenran saw that the person who opened the door was a peasant woman who looked to be at least five or sixty years old, and most of her hair was already gray.

Bai Chong pushed down the car window and called out, "Second Aunt." Then he drove the car into the small courtyard.

There was a three-storey building in the yard. The building looked quite new, and the yard was cleaned very cleanly. A big black dog was tied behind the gate, and it kept yelling at their car.

Bai Chong parked the car, opened the door and got out of the car, hugged his second aunt lightly, but asked, "Where is second uncle?"

The second aunt said: "He went to his brother in the county for the past few days on New Year's Day. His brother is married to a daughter-in-law, so I asked him to go over to have a wedding wine and help out."

Bai Chongwen said: "Then I won't be able to see him?"

The second aunt helped him tidy up his collar, "He has to come back before you leave, let's have a drink with you!"

Bai Chong laughed, "No problem."

Song Wenran also got out of the car, watching Bai Chong greet his second aunt, and then Bai Chong introduced to the old lady: "This is my student, Wen Ran."

Song Wenran froze for a moment, then nodded to the old lady in greeting.

The second aunt said: "Take a rest for a while, and dinner will be served soon." After speaking, she walked towards the single-room bungalow on the right side of the small building.

Bai Chong walked over, passed by Song Wenran, and headed towards the big dog behind the gate. The big black dog had a chain tied around its neck. When it saw someone coming, it tried to jump this way, and stood up with its whole body. Almost as tall as a man.

Song Wenran pulled Bai Chong subconsciously, "Is that dog dangerous?"

Bai Chong smiled and said, "It's not dangerous." He put his palm on the back of Song Wenran's hand, and gently pushed his hand away.

Song Wenran withdrew his hand and moved his fingers a little uncomfortably.

Bai Chong walked up to the big black dog, and the big dog jumped on him, wagging its tail vigorously while panting, obviously showing its favor.Bai Chong rubbed its head and said, "Good boy, I'll give you a bone-gnawing snack this afternoon!"

After letting the big dog pounce on him and made out with him, Bai Chongcai backed away and said to Song Wenran, "Let's go, let's eat first."

"Mr. Bai," Song Wenran suddenly stopped him, and said hesitantly, "Why do you say that I am your student."

Bai Chong's expression was natural, and he didn't seem to think it was a big deal. He took Song Wenran's shoulder slightly with one hand, and led him towards the kitchen, "It's okay, it's just a title, don't call me Mr. Bai , you can call me teacher."

Song Wenran opened his mouth, feeling a bit speechless.

Bai Chong said: "You are a guest here, you don't need to be too formal, just have fun."

The kitchen is a big room, surrounded by a stove, with a square table and benches in the middle, and lunch is eaten in the kitchen.

The meal at noon was not considered rich, but Song Wenran had been hungry for a long time, and everything tasted delicious.

Since returning to his hometown, Bai Chong seems to be very relaxed. He chatted with his second aunt about the situation at home, speaking in a gentle and slow voice, always with a smile on his face.

Listening to their chat, Song Wenran knew that this building was newly built by Bai Chong on the site of the old house when he came back later. Usually, his second aunt and second uncle live here. The second aunt has a pair of children. Will be back.And Bai Chong's parents seem to have passed away for a long time.

After eating, Song Wenran wanted to help clean up the table, but the second aunt quickly grabbed the empty bowl in his hand and said, "Go and play, I'll clean it up."

Bai Chong stood in front of the cauldron of stewed radish soup, and scooped up a stick bone with a spoon. He took out the bone through a paper towel, turned around and said to Song Wenran, "Go, go out and take a walk."

Song Wenran had no choice but to follow Bai Chong out and saw him walk into the yard and throw the bone in front of the big black dog.

The big black dog frantically wagged its tail and threw itself in front of the bone, sticking out its tongue to lick the meat on it.

Bai Chong stood in the yard watching the big dog gnaw on the bone, and he was still holding the oily paper towel in one hand.

Seeing this, Song Wenran took out a clean tissue and stuffed it into his hand, then took the dirty tissue from his hand and threw it in the trash can.

Bai Chong looked down at the white tissue, and then at Song Wenran.

Song Wenran just finished lunch and felt a little hot, so he pulled down the zipper of the down jacket to reveal the black sweater inside.

Bai Chong turned his gaze away, lowered his head and slowly wiped his hands. In fact, his hands were not dirty, he just wiped the paper over and over again, and finally rolled it into a ball and held it in the palm of his hand, walking towards Song Wenran.

Song Wenran was concentrating on watching the big black dog gnaw on the bone.

Bai Chong suddenly squeezed his wrist with one hand, and stuffed the ball of paper into his palm with the other.

Song Wenran didn't realize what it was at first, but later realized it was just a ball of toilet paper.

Bai Chong had already walked outside, "It's time to take a walk after dinner."

Song Wenran threw the toilet paper and hurriedly followed. He didn't feel angry, but was inexplicably happy, because he knew that Bai Chong was playing around with him, and people like Bai Chong didn't often play around with others. It is a rare expression of intimacy.

There are large fields on both sides of the country road, and some small buildings and small yards are scattered here and there.

Bai Chong walked in front, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked slowly. He said, "Compared to when I was a child, the changes here are not small."

Song Wenran asked him, "How long have you lived here?"

Bai Chong recalled for a while, "Until I graduated from junior high school, and I was admitted to the key points of the county in high school, so I went to live in school." He stopped and looked into the distance, "At that time, my family was very poor, and I had to help each other every day when I came home from school. The most things my mother does are collecting firewood and cutting grass to feed the pigs."

Song Wenran thought for a while, "Then you do so many things every day, can you still be admitted to a key high school?"

Bai Chong turned around and suddenly smiled.

Song Wenran thought he asked the wrong question and looked at him blankly.

But Bai Chong said, "Because I'm smart."

Bai Chong who said these words had a bit of conceit on his face. At that moment, Song Wenran seemed to see the high-spirited appearance of Bai Chong, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, when he was just admitted to a key middle school.

Song Wenran laughed too, and said, "Yeah, unlike me, reading was stupid back then."

Bai Chong looked at him and said, "You are not stupid, you are very good, really."

The author has something to say: In fact, the names of the protagonists in this copy have always been Song Wenran and Wen Wenyao.I didn't want to divide the primary and secondary CP at the beginning, but I wanted to write about both CP modes, and I also wanted to write about brotherhood.Later, some readers asked which pair is the main CP. I looked through the outline and felt that Bai Chong, Song Wenran were more important, especially in the later period, so I said it was Song.

So far, the weight of the two pairs should be about the same. Why do you feel that Song Shao is because they develop too slowly, but the slow early stage means that there will be more later, wait for Lao Bai to explode...
