Small snail

At this time, Wen Qi was sitting in Starbucks, and opposite him was a simple-looking, slightly middle-aged obese man.

He didn't seem to be good at words, he looked at Wen Qi for a while before stumbling out a word, "Hey...you, how are you doing over there?"

"Not bad." Wen Qi looked at him and said, "Better than before."

After hearing the second half of the sentence, the man's body froze, "Yes...it's dad who is useless and can't protect you..."

Wen Qi lowered his head, unwilling to look at Wen Jiansheng's guilt-seeming eyes.

Judging by Wen Jiansheng's appearance, this man may be an honest man, but in fact, the word honesty is used on him, which tarnishes honesty. We can only say that he is stupid, stupid, and filial.

Back then, He Shan had a relationship with Shao Jixuan's father, Shao Ximing.The family environments of the two were very different, and at that time, before He Shan and Shao Ximing separated, the Shao family had already started to help Shao Ximing arrange a suitable partner.

Of course He Shan knew about this.So she designed to be pregnant with Shao Ximing's child, thinking that the Shao family would let her in for the sake of the child.As a result, the Shao family didn't care about He Shan's child at all.

After all, it is not He Shan who can give birth to a child in this world, and the Shao family doesn't like the child born to He Shan. Of course, the Shao family's child must be born to a woman of the right family.

At that time, Shao Ximing gradually gave in to the family's persecution, but He Shan complained to him while pregnant with the child. Shao Ximing negotiated with the family and finally accepted the family's arrangement on the condition that the child He Shan be brought back to the Shao family.

He Shan lost her child, and lost Shao Ximing. In the end, the Shao family deliberately publicized the fact that she was pregnant out of wedlock, portraying her as a money worshiper with a chaotic private life.

After He Shan left Shao Ximing, her standard of living plummeted, and she had to endure the criticism of her neighbors every day. Even her parents were ashamed, so she wanted to find someone to marry He Shan quickly. If it was near, no one would want her. .I had no choice but to think about it after two years, when this matter faded away. Not to mention the rumors, it was He Shan who hadn't recovered from the ending of being abandoned.

And Wen Jiansheng has always admired He Shan, and despite the opposition of his family, he wanted to marry He Shan back home. It is probably the only thing Wen Jiansheng has done in his life that he did not listen to his old mother.

At that time, Wen Jiansheng, who was nearly thirty years old, was like a young boy who had just touched love. When he vowed to tell He Shan his feelings and promised to treat her well for the rest of his life, He Shan felt a move in his heart. Wen Jiansheng as a safe haven to escape.

When Wen Jiansheng really took the pressure to marry He Shan back, those gossips about He Shan turned into ridicule to Wen Jiansheng, mocking him for marrying such a woman and going home, sooner or later he would have to cuckold him.

However, the facts have proved that the safe haven of Wen Jiansheng is not reliable.There was an old mother in Wen Jiansheng's family who cared about the rumors about He Shan, and because He Shan was the reason for Wen Jiansheng's filial son to resist her for the first time in his life, she was even more displeased.At home, there is no shortage of dislikes.

As for Wen Jiansheng, although he wanted to be the lubricant between the old mother and He Shan, it was not such a material.In the end, it could only be turned into useless words, "My mother didn't mean anything malicious, you've heard it before...don't worry..."

Slowly, Wen Jiansheng's balance has been particularly tilted towards his mother, and then even such useless words are gone.

After giving birth to Shao Jixuan, He Shan didn't have a good confinement period and hurt her body a bit. In addition, He Shan didn't marry Wen Jiansheng because she liked him, so she didn't have much married life with Wen Jiansheng, so that she and Wen Jiansheng Jiansheng has been married for several years and has no children.

Wen Jiansheng's old mother's dissatisfaction intensified because she had no children.

However, after Wen Qi was born, He Shan still didn't get a good face in front of Wen's mother, but it got worse.Because Wen's mother was influenced by the gossip from the neighbors.

When chatting with Mother Wen, the aunt who has a broken mouth will always tell Mother Wen intentionally or unconsciously, based on He Shan's previous virtues, could this child belong to Wen Jiansheng... Look at He Shan talking to your Jiansheng That's it.He also exaggerated some things, for example, he always saw He Shan talking with XX, and they were quite close.I don't think Wen Qi grew up very similar to your family...

Anyway, there are always people in the world who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement and gossip.They are responsible for talking nonsense, as for what the listeners think, because of what they said, what happened to the family, at that time they all had nothing to do with themselves and hung up.

After listening too much, Mother Wen couldn't help but think too much. Every time she held the child and looked left and right, the more she looked, the less she looked.Then I couldn't help talking to Wen Jiansheng in private.

Wen Jiansheng married He Shan at the beginning because he admired He Shan. For Wen Jiansheng, He Shan was someone he had always looked up to, and he wanted her.In the end, I don't know whether I like it more or have more obsession.

Although he didn't say it, it's impossible for him to really not care about the fact that He Shan had given birth to another man.

The gossip and gossip outside, Wen's mother's nagging and doubts also destroyed Wen Jiansheng.He gradually became indifferent to He Shan, and even had disputes with He Shan from time to time.

He Shan always felt that Wen Jiansheng was not worthy of her at all. She was forced to marry by circumstances, but after she got married, she did not live well in Wen's family. When Wen Jiansheng suspected that Wen Qi was not his biological son, he asked her to ask At that time, He Shan admitted in a daze, "That's right, Xiao Qi is not your own, how could I give birth to a child for a man like you!"

He Shan was happy for a while, but it made it difficult for Wen Qi to live in Wen's house.I don't even know when, the rumor spread that Wen Qi was He Shan living outside... Slowly, there were children pointing at Wen Qi and calling him "wild species" with a smile!

Some children are about the same age as Wen Qi, but some are still very young, so they may not know what wild-species means, but children are best able to learn what adults usually say. They can yell like that, which shows that they don't usually hear their parents yell like that. .

At the beginning, Wen Qi didn't know that much, but as he grew older, he gradually guessed a bit.He didn't quite believe that he wasn't Wen Jiansheng's son, but which normal man would go around saying that he was wearing a cuckold out of nothing?

Around the time Wen Qi entered junior high school, Wen Qi accidentally discovered the secret relationship between He Shan and Shao Ximing.He Shan cheated.At that time, Wen Qi didn't know that Shao Ximing was the hero who Wen's mother had been cursing all these years, and He Shan gave birth to him.

Before that, Wen Qi even had doubts about whether such a thing happened. There were too many gossip about He Shan and Wen Qi's mother, how many were true and how many were false?Coupled with the fact that Mother Wen didn't like He Shan, nor Wen Qi, so there was so much nonsense.

Knowing that He Shan cheated, Wen Qi went directly to He Shan for a showdown.Unexpectedly, He Shan actually told him about her relationship with Shao Ximing. It was also the first time Wen Qi knew clearly. He was sure that he really had another brother, even though he was a half-brother. of.

For so many years, Shao Ximing has taken the initiative in the Shao family. Looking at his eldest son Shao Jixuan who has grown up, he remembered his love affair that ended without a problem and was forced to let go.In fact, without the intervention of the Shao family, Shao Ximing and He Shan might not be able to go far. When the time comes to break up naturally, perhaps the memories left for the two of them will not be too good.However, being separated made Shao Ximing unconsciously add a layer of beautification to He Shan, so Shao Ximing turned around to look for He Shan.

Two married people cheat on each other.

He Shan told Wen Qi that Shao Ximing promised her that she would divorce, and that she would also divorce Wen Jiansheng at that time. She wanted to marry Shao Ximing, and she should have married Shao Ximing in the first place.Wen Qi was not well received in Wen's house, He Shan naturally felt that Wen Qi would support her decision, and told Wen Qi that she would definitely take him to Shao's house to enjoy the blessings.

The exchange condition is that Wen Qi temporarily conceal her secret relationship with Shao Ximing.She was worried that Wen Jiansheng or Wen's mother would find out, and with Wen's mother's loud voice, something unexpected might happen.

After hearing this, Wen Qi only found it ridiculous.

However, despite another two years of delay, He Shan finally achieved her goal.Shao Ximing paid a large sum of money, which made Wen's mother laugh from ear to ear, and packed He Shan's mother and son to Shao Ximing.

Mother Wen was dissatisfied with He Shan at first, and she always thought that Wen Qi was not a child of the Wen family. Of course, she still wanted money. With so much money, she could choose a better one for Wen Jiansheng.

"I remember that tomorrow is your birthday... I, I don't seem to celebrate your birthday very much, so I bought a small cake. Don't dislike it." Wen Jiansheng looked at Wen Qi with some anxiety.

Wen Qi still didn't look at him, just stared at the cake which was only about four inches in size: "Don't you always think that I'm not your son, why did you think of celebrating my birthday?"

Wen Jiansheng wiped his face, "The day I divorced He ... your mother said that she has always lied to me, and that you are my son."

Wen Qi didn't know whether to laugh or not, "Do you believe what she says?"

"Of course... no. I later went for a paternity test."

At this point, Wen Qi didn't need to listen to the final result of the paternity test, he could tell from Wen Jiansheng's attitude.

Wen Jiansheng was afraid that Wen Qi might misunderstand something, so he hurriedly added: "I have no other intention..."

There is no other meaning, what are the meanings?When Wen Jiansheng contacted him, Wen Qi was of course surprised, but now that he knew the reason, he felt that the slightest expectation in his heart was a bit ridiculous.

"You have a better life over there than before... That's good." After that, Wen Jiansheng repeated these few words over and over again.

Wen Qi didn't speak, and sat quietly with Wen Jiansheng for a few minutes, and when Wen Jiansheng said he had nothing to say, he finally said, "I have nothing else to say, so I'm leaving."

Although Wen Jiansheng was a little bit reluctant to get along with Wen Qi for a few minutes, but thinking of his previous disregard for Wen Qi, he didn't have the face to ask him for something, "Ah... yes."

Wen Qi stood up and was about to leave.

Wen Jiansheng hurriedly called him back, "Xiao Qi..."

Wen Qi paused.

"Well, take the cake."

Wen Qi hesitated for a moment, then turned around and took the cake.

"If...if your mother treats you badly, you can come to me..." Wen Jiansheng paused, then whispered, "...forget it."

Wen Qi didn't miss it.

Walking out of Starbucks, standing on the side of the road, watching the cars coming and going, Wen Qi was a little confused for a moment, he lowered his head and smelled the cake, it was full of creamy smell.

This smell is actually a bit familiar. There used to be a cake shop near their house, which was not too big, but every day when Wen Qi passed by on the way to and from school, he could smell the strong fragrance outside. Occasionally, little Wen Qi couldn’t resist the sweet smell. , Will stand helplessly outside the glass window and watch.

But at the moment when the cake was held in Wen Qi's hands, he suddenly didn't want to eat it so much, so he lowered his head and licked it... It wasn't the taste he imagined, just like that.

The four-inch cake is not very big, Wen Qi ate it while walking, and some passers-by occasionally glanced at him curiously.

When Wen Qi walked to a station, he simply sat there and ate.

At the station, there was a young mother waiting for the bus with a three or four-year-old child. The child had been staring at him since Wenqi came over, or more precisely, at the cake in his hand.

This look reminded Wen Qi of his longing mood when he was outside the bakery, through the glass window.

He smiled at the kid and handed the cake out, "Want to eat it?"

The child rolled his eyes cleverly, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and trotted over.

As soon as the child ate the cake, he was so excited that he licked the cream several times with his tongue. Looking at the way the child ate the cake, Wen Qi felt that they were not eating the same cake.

Is it that delicious?

If the time goes back to ten years ago, he was still the kid looking at the bakery through the glass window, maybe he at that time would be the same as the kid now.

Time is gone forever, what I longed for when I was a child, I don’t think it’s so good to get it when I grow up.

Wen Qi sat at the station, watching the child being carried by the mother into the car they were waiting for, with the child's head resting on the mother's shoulder, and was still waving at Wen Qi until the moment he got into the car.

Looking at the innocent smile on the child's face, Wen Qi couldn't help but smiled and waved his hand.

About 3 minutes later, a car slowly drove up from a distance. Wen Qi took a look and found that it was the familiar bus, No. 11.The car went straight to his former home and the city center of Dingmen.

Wen Qi touched his pocket, and found three coins. He got into the car.

He didn't know if he would come back to Dingmen again after this time, although this place was almost full of all the bad things he had in the past ten years, but there was also something worthy of his memory, the only one.

He wanted to go back to the place where he met Xiao Cheng.

At this point, there were not many people on the No. 11 bus, so Wen Qi chose a seat to test the window, leaning his head against the window.

At that time, he was bullied by a group of people of about the same age, and two of them looked bigger than him, at least a lot taller than him.At that time, he was still that weak Wen Qi, all the ridicule and all the abuse would only be swallowed up in aggrieved stomach, because he knew that no one would stand up for him.

It was an alley that Wen Qi must pass through on his way to school.

He stared blankly at Xiao Cheng who appeared out of nowhere the whole time and knocked away the group of people, including those two who looked taller than Xiao Cheng.

"You're so weak." Xiao Cheng looked at the group of people running away, and said with some disdain, then he looked at Wen Qi, "Hey, kid, are you just waiting for people to surround and beat you like an idiot?"

Wen Qi still didn't react.

"Do you understand resistance?" Xiao Cheng looked at Wen Qi's frightened look, as if he thought it was amused, "You think you can wait for someone as powerful as me to help you every time, it's up to you whether you understand fighting or not You can't lose your momentum...Look at how you were shaking just now, you can fall down with just a slight push without the need for others to shake your fist."

Wen Qi said stupidly: "I don't know how to fight."

"Come on, let me teach you."

Xiao Cheng was probably really free that day, and he taught Wen Qi how to fight for two hours with great interest.Especially the secret of the set that mainly depends on momentum, and momentum cannot be lost.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no group fight that could be fought that day, maybe Xiao Cheng would take Wen Qi to check the teaching results.

As for the matter of fighting, no matter how you teach it, it's all trickery, but Xiao Cheng's trickery at that time did give Wen Qi a lot of psychological comfort.It was also from then on that Wen Qi had the courage to resist those who bullied him for the first time.

Although the record was not good at the beginning, but after a lot of times, his fists were developed.

No one can help yourself, only you can help yourself.

"Passengers who want to get off at the intersection of Changping South Road at the next stop..."

Wen Qi chose to get off here. It was still some distance away from Wen's house, but if you walk through the trail, you can reach the alley entrance in about seven or eight minutes.

Xiao Cheng also came to Dingmen today, but Wen Qi knew that the possibility of meeting Xiao Cheng again was very slim.In the past, Wen Qi would visit this alley from time to time, but he never waited for Xiao Cheng.

Wen Qi stood at the entrance of the alley, it was no different from many years ago.Even after leaving the alley, the small store opposite was still open.Wen Qi walked over again. Before Xiao Cheng left, he went to this canteen and bought a can of Wangzai milk for Wen Qi, "Then, I recognize you, little brother...don't be like that again when we meet next time." Cowardly."

Wen Qi took out the money, bought a can of Wangzai milk, and then sat on the stone bench by the door and drank it.

"Hey!" After a while, someone patted on the shoulder suddenly, "If you want to drink Wangzai milk, you have to go to Dingmen specially. Could it be that the Wangzai milk in this movie is particularly delicious?"

Wen Qi took a sip of milk and almost choked himself, blinking and blinking, "You, why are you here?"

"I still want to ask you." It was Xiao Cheng who came, "You came to Dingmen even if you don't tell me in the morning, we can come together."

"You said you have something to do, are you here to do business?"

"After finishing the work, if you still have time, stop by and find an old friend." Xiao Cheng said.

Xiao Cheng came to the hospital to see his grandfather who was hospitalized, but Grandpa Xiao couldn't lie down in the hospital, and he kept clamoring to be discharged.Fortunately, it was not a physical illness that he was hospitalized this time. The old man's body is still strong. This time he fell down the stairs without paying attention. The inspection showed that there was no serious problem, but he twisted his foot. He stayed in the hospital for observation for a day. Case.

So when the old man made a fuss, the hospital agreed to discharge him.Xiao Cheng only picked up his grandfather and left the hospital an hour ago.I stayed at home with the old man for a while, and the two of them sat opposite each other for a long time and couldn't talk together. The old man thought he was too boring, so he drove him out to play by himself.

Wen Qi nodded, guessing, that time a few years ago, when he met Xiao Cheng here, maybe Xiao Cheng came here to find friends.

"Are you waiting for someone here?" Xiao Cheng saw that Wen Qishen was sitting here, drinking milk, and he didn't look like he could move his nest.

Wen Qi shook his head, "No, I'm coming here for a walk, and I'll be back to Sanshui later."

Xiao Cheng suddenly thought, "Did you also live near here before?"

"No, but it's not very far."

"Oh...I've been here before, why haven't I met you, otherwise we could have known each other many years in advance."

Wen Qi smiled, Xiao Cheng didn't recognize him from the beginning.

At this time, Xiao Cheng's cell phone rang, and he picked it up: "It's nearby, I know you miss brother, don't worry, brother will come to you right away."

Wen Qi couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, just listened to the content and tone of Xiao Cheng's words, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. Who was talking to Xiao Cheng?

Xiao Cheng said a few words and quickly hung up the phone, then looked at Wen Qi, and suddenly saw a white spot on his collar, "You said that you are not a child, and you will leak milk after drinking it?"

"what?"

"On the collar." Xiao Cheng pointed and suddenly realized something was wrong. Although the milk is white, it shouldn't suddenly become solid when it gets on the clothes, so he moved a little closer, "...is it cream?"

Wen Qi came to his senses, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and sure enough, he touched a little cream, "I just ate a cake."

"You still like to eat cakes, cakes and Wangzai's milk, it really is a child."

At this time, Wen Qi could take advantage of the situation to say about his birthday tomorrow, but the words rolled down his throat, and he swallowed them again.

"I'm going to find a friend. If you're okay, would you like to follow me?" Xiao Cheng sent out an invitation.

Wen Qi was taken aback, "Is it possible?"

"It's okay." Xiao Cheng said, "Are you going back to Sanshui later? Unfortunately, I may not leave until tomorrow morning..."

What does Xiao Cheng mean by this?

Wen Qi pondered for a while, "Do you want to go back with me?"

"You won't be bored if you have a companion on the way back." Xiao Cheng said, "If you don't have anything urgent to go back, why don't you go back with me tonight and stay overnight, and we'll go back together tomorrow morning?"

Of course no problem!

Wen Qi had nothing to do when he went back, and he didn't really want to go back to Shao's house, it would be great if he could stay with Xiao Cheng for one night.

I am very willing in my heart, but I still restrained my mouth a bit, "Is this okay?"

"Yes, you can, I can."

"Oh……"

"Oh, what do you mean? You agreed?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"Ah."

"Okay," Xiao Cheng made a decision, "Then it's settled."

"it is good."

Xiao Cheng took Wen Qi to find a friend, and when he passed by the alley, he pointed there, "Speaking of which, it's there, and I have left my brilliant record in the past."

"Ahem..." Wen Qi choked on the milk.

But Xiao Cheng only mentioned one sentence, and didn't mention anything else.

Xiao Cheng's friend is Chen Bin. When he and Wen Qi arrived, Chen Bin was reading a book, wearing a white shirt and slacks, and wearing a pair of rimless glasses. He looked very gentle and elegant.

Wen Qi didn't expect Xiao Cheng's friend to be such a gentleman.

Chen Bin didn't have any complaints about Wen Qi's arrival, instead he greeted him with a smile.

Xiao Cheng curled his lips aside, "Wen Qi, don't be fooled by his appearance, he is a gentle scum in his bones, and he is more ruthless than me in his moves."

Xiao Cheng and Chen Bin didn't know each other at first.

Chen Bin smiled gracefully, "Slander it as you like, no one will believe it anyway."

Looking at Chen Bin's appearance and demeanor, it is really impossible to imagine that he is as ruthless as Xiao Cheng said, but Wen Qi subconsciously believed what Xiao Cheng said, so he said silently: "I believe it."

Chen Bin's eyes fell on Wen Qi, his brows twitched, "Little friend, what's your name?"

"..." The three words "little friend" were a shock to Wen Qi, and he now knew that there was nothing wrong with his belief in Xiao Cheng.

"Wen Qi."

Xiao Cheng protected Wen Qi, "Don't fucking bully my people."

Chen Bin frowned, "Did I say anything? You brought a new friend, didn't you introduce him to me? Then I'll get to know you..."

"Humph!"

Chen Bin looked at Wen Qi for a long time, "Speaking of it...the name Wen Qi is quite familiar...so is the person."

Wen Qi looked straight at Chen Bin, and his eyes were already a little defensive.

Seeing Wen Qi's expression, Chen Bin seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said to Wen Qi, "Are you interested in doing two tricks?"

Xiao Cheng immediately stood in front of Chen Bin, "If you want to fight, I'll fight with you. Wen Qi is a good boy, don't bully him pickily."

"Oh..." Chen Bin said with a bit of interest in his tone, "Good boy... ah. That's fine, I'm also a weak gentleman, and I won't do anything."

Xiao Cheng didn't hear Chen Bin's voice-over, "Hey, if you are a gentleman, then everyone in the world will be a gentleman. Don't be ashamed."

Wen Qi noticed that Chen Bin seemed to recognize him, and every word he said was full of meaning, as if he knew he would fight, and looking at Chen Bin now, he seemed familiar.
