Wen Qian took Song Wenran's hand and hopped to Wen Wenhao's small restaurant. They saw that Samoyed again in the park today. Wen Qian played with that big dog for a long time and was very happy.

When she arrived in front of the small restaurant, Wen Qian let go of Song Wenran's hand and ran towards the inside. Song Wenran followed behind and looked at her, but did not stop her.

Wen Qian ran to the door of the restaurant and looked inside, but stopped. She turned to look at Song Wenran.Song Wenran quickened his pace, and when he reached the door of the restaurant, he saw a young girl besides Wen Wenhao.

It's not time to eat yet, the girl and Wen Wenhao were reading a magazine together, both of them were very attentive, and didn't notice Song Wenran and Wen Qian who were standing outside.

When Song Wenran approached, Wen Qian shouted loudly into the room: "Third Brother!"

Wen Wenhao seemed to be taken aback, he raised his head suddenly, and distanced himself from the girl.

Song Wenran smiled and touched Wen Qian's head, and led her in.

"Second brother!" Wen Wenhao stood up and looked at Song Wenran's right shoulder, "Are you feeling better?"

Song Wenran said, "It's much better." Then he looked at the girl and said to Wen Wenhao, "I won't introduce you."

Wen Wenhao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but the girl was very generous, she stood up and said to Song Wenran with a smile: "My name is Yan Ying, are you Wen Hao's second brother?"

Song Wenran nodded and said, "I am, my name is Song Wenran."

Only then did Wen Wenhao say with some coyness: "This is my girlfriend."

Song Wenran looked at him with a smile, and said to him, "Not bad."

Yan Ying is not too pretty, with a delicate and gentle face, wearing a pair of glasses, she looks like a husband and wife with Wen Wenhao.She is a senior student of Chongyi University, and Wen Wenhao met him when he was playing basketball among the students at school.

The little girl has a generous and forthright personality. She said that she had heard Wen Wenhao talk about the situation at home, and she had always wanted to meet some of his brothers and sisters.

Today was just the first time we met, and she soon became acquainted with Wen Qian, and she had to take Wen Qian to a milk tea shop outside to buy milk tea.

"Don't give her milk tea," Song Wenran quickly reminded when he saw that they had gone out holding hands.

Yan Ying turned around and said, "It's always okay to buy milk."

Song Wenran nodded, "Don't be too sweet."

Yan Ying leaned into Wen Qian's ear and whispered, "Your second brother is so long-winded."

Wen Qian told her with a smile: "The second brother is the best, I like the second brother the most."

After they left, Song Wenran said to Wen Wenhao: "You are not bad, you even chased the students of Chongyi."

Wen Wenhao looked a little smug, "Your younger brother is already good, and he is completely worthy of her. By the way, second brother, what do you think of her?"

Song Wenran said: "It feels good, she is a nice girl."

Wen Wenhao nodded, "She has an average family background, but she is very serious and smart in her studies."

When Wen Wenhao described Yan Ying in this way, Song Wenran thought of Bai Chong in an instant, and his expression darkened slightly.

Wen Wenhao was still immersed in the emotion of passionate love, and didn't realize what was wrong with Song Wenran. He just asked, "Second brother, are you still living in that Dean Bai's house?"

Song Wenran pulled himself together and looked up at him, "No more, we've already moved out."

"Oh," Wen Wenhao always felt a little weird, "I just wonder why he treats you so well."

Song Wenran said softly: "He was a very good person."

Wen Wenhao didn't have much energy to delve into the relationship between Song Wenran and Bai Chong. Even though, as Song Wenran said, Bai Chong was a very good person, his attitude towards Song Wenran was beyond that level of intimacy, and it was definitely not that simple.But Wen Wenhao naturally likes to think of people as simple and kind, so he accepted Song Wenran's explanation.

"Dining here tonight?" Wen Wenhao asked Song Wenran.

Song Wenran nodded, "Just order two dishes later, and you don't have to worry about us."

Wen Wenhao thought for a while and said, "Anyway, you are already here, so I'll call my elder brother over to have dinner together."

"Brother?" Song Wenran was taken aback for a moment, then understood what Wen Wenhao meant, and said with a smile, "Why? Do you want Big Brother to come and see your girlfriend?"

Wen Wenhao smiled a little embarrassedly, "How is it? She will be leaving school for winter vacation soon, and now is a good opportunity for everyone to get together."

"Then do you still have business tonight?" Song Wenran asked him.

Wen Wenhao propped his arms on the edge of the table, "It doesn't matter if you are doing business, the most important thing is that the family is happy together."

Song Wenran looked at him, and was suddenly touched. Ever since he was a child, he never had the courage to say that he had a family in front of others. He only had one mother, but his mother belonged to someone else's family. He was the only outsider.Now, he has an older brother and younger siblings, and his younger brother would tell him "we are a family". This should be a remarkable change in his life that is worth celebrating.

Having experienced too much in the past two days, Song Wenran felt that he was a little too sentimental. He didn't dare to look Wen Wenhao in the eyes, so he could only nod his head and say, "Okay."

Wen Wenhao called Wen Wenyao and asked him that he was not on duty tonight and had nothing else to do, so he asked him to come over for dinner.

After making the decision, he simply closed the door halfway, indicating that it was closed for the night, and the waiter in the restaurant asked them to go back to rest early, and the chef could leave first after the dishes were ready, and they would clean up tomorrow.

Yan Ying brought Wen Qian back to buy hot milk, leaned into Wen Wenhao's ear and whispered, "Your sister is so cute, luckily you are not willing to throw her away."

Wen Wenhao quickly pulled her aside, "Stop talking, don't let Wen Qian hear it."

Yan Ying said, "No way!"

Wen Qian must let Song Wenran take a sip of her milk. After Song Wenran drank it, she said, "It's not sweet at all, is it?"

Song Wenran nodded, "It's not sweet, drink it slowly."

After about half an hour, Wen Wenyao also arrived when the kitchen brought out the evening dishes one after another.

He violently opened the door of the restaurant, walked in and said, "What? You don't do business at night?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Ying standing beside Wen Wenhao.He only heard that Song Wenran brought Wen Qian here, but he didn't know Yan Ying's existence yet.

Song Wenran gently pushed Wen Qian, "Call me big brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Bai Yangyu coming in right behind Wen Wenyao.

The scene was lively for a while, and Wen Wenhao was busy introducing them to each other. Although he didn't understand why Wen Wenyao's students kept following him, he still introduced their identities to Yan Ying first.

Yan Ying jokingly said to Wen Wenhao: "Your elder brother and second elder brother are more handsome than you."

Wen Wenhao looked helpless, "Then they are not married yet, do you want to think about it?"

Yan Ying leaned into his ear and said, "Bah!"

During this process, Song Wenran sat by the side without speaking, he was silently looking at Bai Yangyu.I never thought about it in the past, but looking carefully now, the outline of Bai Yangyu's eyebrows and eyes is indeed vaguely similar to that of Bai Chong.He didn't know what kind of mentality Bai Yangyu's mother had when she gave birth to him, and he didn't know what kind of mentality Bai Chong had when facing this sudden son.

Wen Wenhao sent away the waiters in the store, so he had to go get the bowls and chopsticks and set them up. He also specially made two small tables in the store into one big table so that everyone could sit around .

Both Yan Ying and Bai Yangyu went to help him.Both of them are students of Chongyi. Although Bai Yangyu has a taciturn personality, he can't resist Yan Ying's enthusiasm and generosity. While arranging the dishes, they can find some common topics.

Yan Ying picked up a small piece of rabbit diced with chopsticks, called Wen Qian to come and feed her, and then happily asked her if it was good.

Wen Wenyao sat down opposite Song Wenran, looked over his shoulder, and said, "How is it?"

Song Wenran told him, "It's slowly recovering."

Wen Wenyao suddenly put his hands on the square table in front of him, getting closer to Song Wenran, "You have such a good relationship with Dean Bai?"

Song Wenran knew that Wen Wenyao was probably suspicious, so he simply said: "Because I was injured to save Dean Bai's son, his son almost fell over the wall, I pulled him, and the shoulder dragged for a long time."

"Bai Ziqi?" Wen Wenyao said.

Song Wenran asked, "Do you know him?"

Wen Wenyao said "hmm", "I knew when I was studying with him, the little bastard in Boss Bai's house often caused trouble for his father."

Song Wenran heard what Wen Wenyao said, and couldn't help asking: "Then do you know about his wife?"

Wen Wenyao wanted to smoke a little bit, but the restaurant was closed and there were so many people, big and small, so he endured it and just held a cigarette next to his nose to smell, and said at the same time: "I don't know much, I heard it was a car accident died."

Song Wenran asked again: "What about his father-in-law?"

Wen Wenyao glanced at him and said, "The officials in the city have stepped down now, why?"

"Is their relationship not very good?"

Wen Wenyao thought for a while, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it. Why are you asking so much? It's not that you've been in the Bai's house for a long time, and you even want to take care of the dean's house? He adopted?"

Song Wenran said: "How is it possible..."

"Yeah," Wen Wenyao put the cigarette in his mouth, "I thought your brain was finally broken."

Song Wenran said, "I've already moved out."

Wen Wenyao said "huh?", and then said: "It's good to move out, after all, he is the dean, and sometimes I will be polite to you, don't be stupid, take it seriously, you think everyone in this world is like you , with the heart of a saint."

Song Wenran felt a little helpless at what he said, and raised one hand in surrender, "I know, don't say it."

Wen Wenyao stared at him, "Then you are going back now?"

Song Wenran nodded, "I packed everything back."

Wen Wenyao asked: "Can you do it alone? If you can't, just move to my place temporarily."

Song Wenran couldn't help smiling slightly, "I think it's okay."

"Persist if you can," Wen Wenyao said, "I asked you anyway, whether love will come or not."

All the dishes had been put on the table, and Wen Wenhao called them over to sit down.

When Song Wenran sat down in the seat between Wen Qian and Wen Wenyao, he said: "Today is such a good day, it is worth celebrating, why don't you open two bottles of beer."

It was rare for him to take the initiative to ask for a drink, and Wen Wenhao said quickly: "That is a must! Where is the elder brother? Will you drive later?"

Wen Wenyao said: "I drink, and Potato drives."

Bai Yangyu nodded obediently.

Wen Wenhao then opened three bottles of beer, one for each of the three brothers.He first stood up holding the wine glass, and said: "Actually, I have nothing to do today, just call my brothers and sisters to have a meal together, and introduce Yan Ying to everyone."

Speaking of this, Yan Ying smiled and waved to a table of people.

Wen Wenhao was a little embarrassed and emotional, "Actually, I don't want to fall in love so early, but I don't want to miss it when I meet the right person. On the contrary, the eldest brother and the second brother, you are not young, you should think about the issues that should be considered earlier. , don’t make me feel embarrassed to get married when the time comes.”

Song Wenran didn't speak, Wen Wenyao raised his head and said to him: "It's yours, it's none of your business whether we get married or not, don't use us as a shield if you don't want to get married then. Xiao Yan, take care of him, don't let him make excuses. "

Yan Ying laughed out loud.

Wen Wenhao also laughed twice, he said: "Anyway, come on, let's have a drink first."

Everyone stood up holding their glasses, and even Wen Qian joined in the fun, holding up their water glasses to toast.

When clinking glasses, Wen Wenyao said, "Welcome Xiao Yan."

After Song Wenran clinked glasses with them, he picked up the glass and drank all the beer in one gulp. The cold liquid slid down his throat and entered his stomach, and he seemed to feel a chill all over his body.After drinking this glass of wine, he sat down, silently picked up the wine bottle and poured himself another full glass.

Wen Wenyao looked at him from the side, feeling that he was not in the right mood, and said softly: "Don't drink so fast, what will Wen Qian do at night if you drink too much?"

Song Wenran wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said, "I know, it's fine."

Wen Wenhao was very happy today. Yan Ying was about to finish her final exam and packed her things and went home. He didn't want to rush her to meet her family, but it happened that Song Wenran brought Wen Qian over today.

In fact, regarding his birth and family, Wen Wenhao has always been a bit inferior.He is an embarrassing existence at home. On the one hand, he is also the victim of his father's cheating. On the other hand, he doesn't even have the confidence to be as angry as Wen Wenyao.He is a person who longs for family affection. During the years of studying, he often pestered Wen Wenyao because he was afraid that he would become the loneliest one in the end. He hoped that his elder brother could accept him.

To this day, the brothers and sisters in the family can sit together for him, and he is already very satisfied.

When people are happy and sad, they will inevitably drink too much.When Wen Wenhao was in a good mood, he kept persuading and toasting, and Song Wenran didn't seem so strange after drinking a lot.

Even Wen Wenyao, who was sitting next to Song Wenran, always sensed that something was wrong with him.

Later, Bai Yangyu got up and went to the bathroom.

Song Wenran held his wine glass and watched him pass by, counted silently for more than ten seconds, and felt that the time was almost up, so he got up and followed him.

The area of ​​"aftertaste" is small, and there is only one bathroom shared by men and women.

Wen Wenyao knew that Bai Yangyu hadn't come back yet, seeing Song Wenran following him again, he felt strange in his heart, seeing Wen Wenhao and Yan Ying being in love with each other, no one paid attention to this side, so he also got up and walked towards that side.

Song Wenran was standing in front of the sink outside the bathroom. He waited for a few seconds before Bai Yangyu came out.Bai Yangyu didn't react when he saw him, just nodded his head and wanted to go around him to wash his hands.

"I'm sorry," Song Wenran apologized to Bai Yangyu in his opening remarks. He was a little dizzy and couldn't help leaning against the wall on one side. He said, "Can I ask you a very personal question?"

Bai Yangyu turned on the faucet to wash his hands, and said, "What?"

If Song Wenran hadn't drank so much, he probably wouldn't have had the urge to ask these questions, "Do you hate Bai Chong?"

Bai Yangyu stopped washing his hands and turned to look at him.

Wen Wenyao was standing outside, behind the wall on the side of the sink, he heard Song Wenran's words clearly.

Song Wenran didn't know why he asked this question, he didn't know whether he wanted to ask this question for Bai Chong, or for himself.

Bai Yangyu's expression didn't change too much, he just frowned slightly, "Did he tell you?"

Song Wenran nodded.

Bai Yangyu asked him: "He asked you to ask me?"

Song Wenran said this time: "No."

Bai Yangyu obviously didn't believe it. Except for Bai Chong, no one else would be interested in the answer to this question, but when Song Wenran asked, he still replied: "I'll tell him for me, I don't hate him Don't hate his son."

Song Wenran had a headache, and he said again: "I'm sorry." He suddenly felt that he was being reckless, why did he stop Bai Yangyu from asking him such a private question, these things were not his business in the first place.

Bai Yangyu's attitude was very calm, he said: "It's nothing, do you want to go to the bathroom?"

Song Wenran shook his head.

Bai Yangyu lowered his head to look at his face, and asked cautiously: "Are you okay? You seem to have drunk too much."

Song Wenran waved his hand, "I'm fine, I'll be fine if I stand here for a while."

Bai Yangyu hesitated for a moment, thinking whether to ask Wen Wenyao to come over to see him, so he walked outside, but just as he stepped out of the narrow space of the bathroom, he saw Wen Wenyao leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette.

He froze for a moment and said, "Teacher?"

Wen Wenyao glanced at him, turned around and walked inside, and asked Song Wenran, "Are you okay?"
