After getting up the next morning, Bai Chong told Song Wenran that he was going to visit his mother's grave, and asked Song Wenran to wait for him at home, or he could go out for a walk by himself.

At that time, while having breakfast, Song Wenran held a steamed bun in his hand and subconsciously said, "Shall I go with you?"

After saying this, he immediately regretted it, wondering if it would make Bai Chong feel uncomfortable.

As a result, Bai Chong took a sip of the porridge slowly, and when he put down the bowl, he actually said to him, "Come on."

January [-]nd, the second day of the New Year's Day holiday, happened to be the anniversary of Bai Chong's mother's death.So even if Bai Chong does not promise to come back every Spring Festival, he will try his best to ensure that he will come back to his hometown every New Year's Day.

The second aunt helped him prepare all the wax paper money, cooked a piece of knife head meat and prepared some pastries and drinks, packed them in a plastic bag, and went out with them after breakfast.

Song Wenran saw that the second aunt was walking very fast, and the two of them fell behind after a while.

Bai Chong said: "Don't worry, Second Aunt is like this, let's go slowly."

Until now, Song Wenran still remembers the throbbing feeling last night. When he walked close to Bai Chong, he felt a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the field path was narrow, and there was not much space for him to avoid it. .

Bai Chong noticed his thoughts, and felt a little amused, so he quickened his pace and simply caught up with the second aunt who was walking in front, and helped her take all the things she was carrying.

Bai Chong's mother was buried in the Bai family's own ancestral cemetery, next to his father's.Every year when Bai Chong came to visit his mother's grave, he would also burn paper for his father.

Perhaps his father passed away too early, and Bai Chong's relationship with his father was not as deep as his mother's. Speaking of his father, he can only say that his impression is really not deep.

Song Wenran helped them light the incense and place the sacrifices. After burning a small pile of paper money, he retreated to the side to watch Bai Chong clean up the area around the tomb, and knelt down to burn a lot of paper money for his parents.

On the way back, Second Aunt met an acquaintance and went to chat with him while standing on the edge of the field. Bai Chong and Song Wenran continued to walk forward.

Bai Chong asked Song Wenran: "Where do you want to go?"

There is a mountain more than 20 kilometers away from here, which is a relatively famous tourist attraction nearby, and there is a hot spring hotel on the mountain.

The hot spring hotel has been developed in the past two years, and Bai Chong has never been there. He just heard about it, and said to Song Wenran at this time: "It is said that the mountain is covered with a layer of snow from the middle of the mountain. Enjoying the snow scenery while enjoying the hot spring, the environment is very nice.”

It just sounds very pleasant.

Song Wenran glanced at Bai Chong.

Bai Chong smiled and said to him: "Go if you want, you can tell me what you think."

Song Wenran also smiled, and said, "Go, I've never been in a hot spring before."

Bai Chong stopped, took out his mobile phone to check the time, and said, "Let's go back and pack our things first, and I'll tell Second Aunt later that we can start."

"Okay," Song Wenran nodded.

The two of them came back from a slow walk, and just when they reached the gate of the small courtyard of Bai's house, they heard the sound of a horn.

Song Wenran had already pushed open the school gate of the courtyard, stopped and turned to look, and saw a taxi driving in this direction.

The purpose of the taxi was very clear, and it drove directly to the gate of the Bai family's yard and stopped. Song Wenran looked in through the car window and saw that the person paying the taxi driver was actually Lin Huiting.

Lin Huiting paid the fare and opened the door to get out of the car, went to the back of the car and opened the trunk, and waved to Song Wenran, "Xiao Song, come and help me!"

Song Wenran hurried over and helped Lin Huiting take out the suitcase from the trunk.He put the suitcase on the ground, raised his head to look at Bai Chong, but found that Bai Chong had no expression on his face, and there was no joy in his eyes, and he just looked at the two of them indifferently.

The taxi turned around and left.

Lin Huiting was wrapped in a long down jacket over a short sweater and skirt, with slender legs stepping on high heels, and walked briskly in front of Bai Chong, "Teacher Bai, here I come."

Song Wenran suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Bai Chong raised his hand, combed Lin Huiting's messy hair and put it on his shoulder, and asked her gently, "How do you know I'm here?"

Lin Huiting didn't know whether she was shy or was blown by the cold wind, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she said, "I sent Xiao Song a WeChat message, and he told me."

Bai Chong heard this and looked at Song Wenran.

Last night, Lin Huiting sent Song Wenran a WeChat message asking where Bai Chong was. Song Wenran told Lin Huiting directly without thinking about it. He did not expect that Lin Huiting would rush over this morning.

Bai Chong's expression is still very calm, but when he told Song Wenran to go to the hot spring just now, there was a gentle smile in his eyes, but at this moment, there is nothing left.

Song Wenran felt that Bai Chong was unhappy, so he subconsciously glanced at Lin Huiting.

Lin Huiting didn't notice anything, and Bai Chong, who was with her, had such a flat demeanor most of the time.

"I'm sorry," Bai Chong said to Lin Huiting suddenly.

Lin Huiting was stunned.

Bai Chong said: "There are some private matters at home, it may not be very convenient to entertain you. Thank you for traveling so far."

Lin Huiting paused for a while, trying to maintain a smile, she said: "It's okay, it's all my fault, I ran here without saying hello." When she said these words, she still couldn't restrain the loss in her expression.

"Wenran," Bai Chong called Song Wenran suddenly.

Song Wenran nodded, "Mr. Bai?"

Bai Chong said: "Miss Lin is inconvenient to be alone, you can send her back to Chongfeng."

Song Wenran looked at Bai Chong in astonishment, and then at Lin Huiting.

Lin Huiting said quickly: "No need, Xiao Song is here to accompany you, I'll take a taxi and go back."

Bai Chong raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, "It's too unsafe for you as a girl, let Wen Ran take you back." Then he raised his head to look at Song Wenran, "After you send Miss Lin back, you don't have to come here, go home for the holidays Bar."

Song Wenran's lips moved, and before he could speak, Lin Huiting asked Bai Chong: "Then how do you go back?"

Bai Chong said: "It's not easy for me to go back, you don't have to worry about me, just go early."

Song Wenran looked at Bai Chong and said, "Okay, Mr. Bai."

Bai Chong didn't look at him, but turned around and invited Lin Huiting into the yard, "Sit down for a while, Wen Ran goes to pack your luggage first."

Song Wenran took a deep breath, followed them into the yard, and then walked directly to his room on the second floor.

On the drive back, both of them were depressed and did not speak for a long time.

Later, I stopped at the rest station to have something to eat. Lin Huiting seemed to be in a better mood. After getting in the car, she said, "Mr. Bai shouldn't be angry with me, right? Otherwise, why did he ask you to take me home?"

Song Wenran didn't hear what she said clearly, he felt a little inexplicably anxious, he just responded perfunctorily: "Yes."

What Lin Huiting said later, probably didn't need Song Wenran to turn back to her, but just confide in herself.

Song Wenran looked at the gray sky in front of him, thinking that before Lin Huiting appeared, Bai Chong smiled and said that he wanted to go to the hot spring with him, but when Lin Huiting appeared, Bai Chong didn't say a single word except to tell him to send Lin Huiting back. .

He felt that instead of saying that Bai Chong was angry with Lin Huiting, it was more likely that Bai Chong was angry with him.

Song Wenran was a little bit regretful, he kept telling himself to be a competent driver and not to meddle in the boss's business, but why did he casually reveal Bai Chong's privacy after thinking that Bai Chong and Lin Huiting were in a romantic relationship?

Lin Huiting looked at the sky outside the car window and said, "Did you say it will rain when we go back to Chongfeng?"

Song Wenran responded, "Yes."

Lin Huiting looked at him now, "You didn't listen to me at all, did you?"

Song Wenran suddenly realized, he said, "I'm sorry."

"Forget it, it's nothing," Lin Huiting said.

Apart from stopping for lunch, Song Wenran drove back to Chongfeng City without stopping. After the car entered the city, Lin Huiting received a voice message from Bai Chong.

She said softly: "Teacher Bai!" with a little joy in her tone, she leaned close to her ear and clicked to listen.

Song Wenran glanced at her from the rearview mirror, and saw that the smile on her face disappeared slowly after hearing the news for some reason.Song Wenran felt that something was wrong, so he took another look.

Lin Huiting had already finished listening to the voice message. She held onto her mobile phone for a while to send a voice message in a daze, and then replied a voice message.

Song Wenran heard her say: "Okay, I get it, the teacher is happy."

Later, Lin Huiting said to Song Wenran, "Xiao Song, just stop in front."

Song Wenran saw that her emotional state was really bad, and worried: "Aren't you going back? I'll take you home."

Lin Huiting shook her head, "No need, stop the car, I'll walk by myself."

"But you still have a box—"

"Please stop the car!" Lin Huiting became impatient, she raised her voice, regretted a bit after shouting this sentence, and said, "I'm sorry, I just want to be alone."

Song Wenran stopped the car on the side of the road, and he helped Lin Huiting take down the box and handed it to her.

Lin Huiting's eyes were red, and she said, "Thank you, Xiao Song."

Song Wenran looked at her, "Be careful, call me if you need something."

Lin Huiting forced a smile, dragged the suitcase and turned around and walked forward.

Song Wenran returned to the car, took out his mobile phone and called Bai Chong. While waiting for Bai Chong to answer the call, he felt inexplicably nervous.

The phone rang a few times, Bai Chong answered the phone, and a deep voice rang in Song Wenran's ear, "Hello?"

"Mr. Bai," Song Wenran said, "I sent Miss Lin back to Chongfeng, but she got out of the car and left before she got home."

Bai Chong said calmly, "Okay."

Song Wenran hesitated, and asked him, "Do you need me to pick you up?"

"No need," Bai Chong said, "I'll call you when I get back."

Song Wenran replied: "Okay." Then he heard Bai Chong hang up the phone.

Holding his mobile phone, he sat in the driver's seat and started to daze. His thoughts were a little dazed. He didn't know what he was going to do for a while, but he realized it later and called Wen Wenyao.

Wen Wenyao answered the phone very quickly, and the first thing he said was to ask him: "Are you back?"

Song Wenran was a little amused, and said, "I'm back, are you at home? I'll pick up Wenqian."

Wen Wenyao said: "Yes, come."

Wen Wenyao took Wen Wenqian at home and hadn't gone out for two days. He didn't know where to take Wen Wenqian, and he was worried about leaving such a young child at home alone.

When Song Wenran called, he was lying on the sofa in the living room watching a football game. Wen Wenqian sat on the small stool next to the coffee table, spread out the album and fountain pens on the coffee table, and buried her head in drawing.

Bai Yangyu didn't come over for the past two days, not because he didn't want to come, but because Wen Wenyao didn't let him in.

Not long after Wen Wenyao hung up on Song Wenran, he heard someone ring the doorbell. He thought that Song Wenran had already reached the downstairs after racing all the way, so he turned over and got up from the sofa, and walked over to open the door.

Standing outside the door was still Bai Yangyu who never gave up on him.

Wen Wenyao felt a little tired, and leaned against the door frame with his hands folded on his chest and asked him, "What are you going to do?"

Bai Yangyu said: "Teacher, what do you want for dinner? I'll go buy it for you."

"I don't want to eat anything," Wen Wenyao said in a low voice when there was a child at home, "Just don't bother me."

Bai Yangyu looked at him and said frankly, "Teacher, you kicked me, and I was in pain for two days."

Wen Wenyao looked at him coldly, "It deserves it."

Bai Yangyu said: "But I still want to see you."

Wen Wenyao turned his head to look at Wen Qian, and saw that she was painting intently, so he walked out and slightly covered the door, and said in a low voice, "Are you not clear-headed? Do you understand the relationship between the two of us?" Already?"

Bai Yangyu nodded, "You are my mentor."

Wen Wenyao said: "Yes, I am your mentor, so can you tell me what is going on in your head?"

Bai Yangyu suddenly looked a little shy and said, "I want to sleep with you."

Wen Wenyao was furious immediately, and raised his foot to kick him. This time, Bai Yangyu had experience, so he grabbed Wen Wenyao's raised foot from one side, and pressed his body forward.

In the end, he didn't notice that the door behind Wen Wenyao was ajar. When he pressed on Wen Wenyao, Wen Wenyao leaned against the door, and immediately pushed the door open, and the two fell to the ground. .

Wen Wenyao turned his back to the sky, Bai Yangyu was pressing on him, he still didn't forget to stretch out his hand to protect Wen Wenyao's head at the critical moment, and put his hand between the back of his bald head and the floor.

Even so, Wen Wenyao was touched by the wound, opened his mouth in pain and screamed silently.

Just then the elevator doors opened.

Song Wenran came out of the elevator and saw such a scene in the first scene. He stopped immediately, not knowing whether he should go or not.

Wen Wenyao recovered from the pain, subconsciously raised his foot to kick Bai Yangyu, and this time it landed on Bai Yangyu's knee.

Bai Yangyu quickly turned over and reached out to help Wen Wenyao.

Seeing this, Song Wenran also stepped forward to help Wen Wenyao up with him.

When Wen Wenyao stood up, he stared at Bai Yangyu fiercely.

Bai Yangyu said, "Teacher, I'm sorry."

Wen Wenyao's pain was not only from the wound on his head, but also his waist. In front of Song Wenran, he didn't want to argue with Bai Yangyu, so he took half a step back and said, "You're here?"

Wen Qian had already heard Song Wenran's voice, jumped up from the small stool, jumped out like a bird and rushed towards Song Wenran, shouting crisply: "Second brother!"

Song Wenran picked her up and lifted her up forcefully, "Second brother is back."

Wen Qian hugged his neck tightly and buried her face on his shoulder, "I miss you."

Song Wenran kissed the top of her head, "I miss you too."

Wen Wenyao supported his waist with one hand, walked towards the inside, and said silently: "Have no conscience."

Bai Yangyu came over to help him, "Teacher, are you alright?"

Wen Wenyao waved his hand away, "Go away."

Song Wenran hugged Wen Qian, walked in behind them, and said, "I took Wen Qian back tonight."

Wen Wenyao sat down on the armrest of the sofa, "Get out early."

Song Wenran asked him with a smile: "How did you plan for dinner? Do you want to go together?"

Wen Wenyao looked up at him, "Are you treating me?"

Song Wenran nodded, "I treat you."

His monthly income may be less than one-third of Wen Wenyao, but Wen Wenyao still accepted his invitation calmly, "Let's go, it's rare that you invite me to dinner."

Song Wenran then looked at Bai Yangyu, "Let's go together?"

Bai Yangyu quickly responded: "Okay, thank you."

Before going out, Song Wenran asked Wen Wenyao in private: "Brother, that student of yours seems to have a good relationship with you?"

Wen Wenyao just snorted without explaining anything.

The three of them took Wen Qian out together. Wen Qian was a little excited, holding Song Wenran's hand, bouncing around while walking.

Wen Wenyao took the place to eat. It was a small restaurant with a good business near his home. They came quite early, and there were not many people in the restaurant.

This restaurant tastes good and the price is not expensive. Wen Wenyao didn't say anything, but he also knew that Song Wenran's financial situation was not that good.

Song Wenran was very generous, took the menu and handed it to Bai Yangyu beside him, "Order whatever you like."

Wen Wenqian gently tugged at his sleeve, and when he turned his head, she said, "Second brother, I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Song Wenran touched the top of her head, "Okay, scrambled eggs with tomato."

Bai Yangyu silently handed the menu to Wen Wenyao who was sitting across from Song Wenran. Wen Wenyao didn't even look at it, he just beckoned to the waiter, and said, "Fish-flavored eggplant, tomato scrambled eggs, green pepper stir-fried pork, add a sauerkraut vermicelli soup." He said. When handing the menu back to the waiter, he said, "The rice is here."

Song Wenran asked him, "Don't you drink?"

Wen Wenyao said, "Aren't you driving?"

Song Wenran glanced at Bai Yangyu, "You can drink."

Wen Wenyao raised his finger and pointed to his head, "The injury hasn't healed yet, let's take care of it."

Perhaps because Song Wenran was here, Bai Yangyu seemed extraordinarily quiet. He just silently helped Wen Wenyao wash the bowls and chopsticks and handed them to him. After seeing that the tea in his cup was finished, he got up and went to find the teapot to pour water for him.

Song Wenran watched from the side, and said softly, "Your student treats you very well."

Wen Wenyao remained expressionless and did not answer him.

Taking advantage of Bai Yangyu's absence, Song Wenran couldn't help asking again: "Brother, do you know the relationship between your student and Dean Bai?"

Wen Wenyao looked at him strangely, "He said that Dean Bai is his uncle. Why, Dean Bai didn't mention it to you?"

Song Wenran shook his head, at this moment Bai Yangyu came back with the teapot, and poured all the tea for them.Song Wenran didn't continue the topic with Wen Wenyao, but he was a little puzzled, isn't Bai Chong the only son?Who is Bai Yangyu's father?

The food was served quickly, and Song Wenran offered to add more food to their bowls.

Wen Wenyao asked him: "Didn't you accompany Dean Bai back to your hometown? Are you back so soon?"

Song Wenran handed the job bowl to Wen Wenyao, took the empty bowl in front of Bai Yangyu, and said, "There is something else, he asked me to come back first."

Wen Wenyao glanced at Bai Yangyu, "Aren't you going back to your hometown?"

Bai Yangyu said: "I don't have any relatives in my family." After speaking, he took the bowl from Song Wenran and thanked him.

Wen Wenyao wanted to continue asking about his family situation, but suddenly saw a dark and strong man standing behind Song Wenran, who was looking down at Song Wenran with his head down, so he made Song Wenran flirtatious and asked him to look back.
