lonely patient

Maybe I should adapt to life without Wen Luming earlier.

On the first day of his business trip, a friend happened to celebrate his birthday. Two beauties with long breasts and thighs were sitting next to me at the poker table with wine glasses. Qin Bei saw that he was about to stop me, so I raised my eyes and said, "It's okay." ,sit down."

"What's the matter, don't you have to go home today?" Qin Bei asked.

"Yeah," another friend said, "it's time for Yan Qiao to leave at this point, why is it so rare today?"

I glanced at them and said calmly, "Teacher Wen is on a business trip."

"No wonder, the main house is not here to have time to accompany us little ones."

"Understood, you can't let Yan Qiao go if you say anything today."

……

I don't know if it's because I was absent-minded or I haven't played hand games for too long, but I lost a lot in one night.Everyone around me was laughing, exposing their true natures under the instigation of alcohol. I found it quite boring, and even wanted to go home and sleep a bit, but thinking that Wen Luming was not at home, I sat back on the half of my ass off the sofa.

Seeing me yawning, Qin Bei sat down and pressed down my wine glass, and said, "It's almost enough, you don't have to drink like this if you don't go home, right?"

I frowned and asked, "Did I drink too much?"

"A lot anyway."

"What kind of mother-in-law are you now?" I sighed helplessly, "It's boring."

But I seem to have drunk too much, I don't know when the sleepiness hits, and it is already the next morning when I open my eyes again.I slept in the bedroom of Qin Bei's house, and stared at the wall in a daze for half a minute before I vaguely remembered that someone carried me back to the room last night.

I didn't see Qin Bei when I went out, I only saw Qin Nan doing homework in the living room.Unlike in the past, when he saw me, he happily approached me. Today, Qin Nan is a bit strange. When he looked at me, he hesitated to speak, and he refused to meet my eyes.

Confused, I walked over and asked, "Where's your brother?"

"Going to the company." Qin Nan replied honestly.

"Did he bring me back last night?" I asked again.

Qin Nan shook his head and said, "No, my brother also drank and called me to pick you up."

I suddenly thought of something, and my eyes widened: "You have a driver's license?!"

This time Qin Nan was finally willing to look me in the eyes, and said in a serious tone, "Brother Yan, I'm already an adult, don't treat me like a child all the time."

What does this have to do with adults and children? Obviously, it was Qin Bei who told me before that he had failed his second grade.Before I could speak, Qin Nan said again, "Brother Yan, I have something to ask you."

"Huh?" I saw his serious face, and I became confused, "What's the matter?"

Qin Nan hesitated for a while, and asked, "You...are you with Teacher Wen?"

I almost forgot that this brat in front of me is a student of Wen Luming, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know Wen Luming either.

I suddenly felt an outrageous sense of seniority, and watched Qin Nan lose his voice for a while.Qin Nan didn't rush, and waited patiently for my answer. I couldn't help it, and finally said ambiguously: "It doesn't count as being together...Don't worry, I'm not going to be your teacher's wife."

"My brother said that you are all living together." Qin Nan frowned and blurted out, "Didn't you say before that you don't like alphas? Teacher Wen is also an alpha!"

I found that the focus of the two of us is different. Qin Nan seems to care more about Wen Luming's gender than the teacher's identity.

I didn't quite understand the logic of this, so I asked, "What's wrong with alpha?"

"alpha..." Qin Nan widened his eyes, opened his mouth several times to speak, but held back as if he couldn't speak.If the gaze had any substance, I'm afraid I've already been poked a few holes by him.

In the end, his face was flushed, and he said loudly to me: "Anyway, alpha just doesn't work!"

I couldn't hold back the puff, rubbed the back of his head and said, "Little bastard is taking care of your brother."

I grew up with Qin Bei, so I naturally regarded Qin Nan as my younger brother. He was always a little kid in my memory, but today he was very serious. He not only avoided my hand, but also retreated. Step up and say, "I'm not kidding."

I was at a loss, and I didn't know how the alpha got in the way of this ancestor, so I asked helplessly: "You are not an alpha yourself, why do you still engage in gender discrimination?"

"Because of me..." Qin Nan stopped short of speaking, stared at me for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and said, "...Forget it, you don't need to know." Standing up, "I'm going back to my room to do my homework."

Looking at his back, I was even more confused, and muttered to myself: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

In the afternoon, I made an appointment with a few developers. I left before Qin Bei returned home. I quickly forgot about it.

Years ago, I was busy everywhere, and I only found out when I started my own business. People in the world are the most laborious and laborious during the New Year and holidays. In addition, people in this industry are superstitious. It’s okay to deal with people, and you have to manage various gods and Buddhas. After meeting the developers The next day, I went to Guanli to meet the master Han Qian invited.

I feel sorry for the seven-figure incense money a year, and after asking about the groundbreaking, I asked myself.The old Taoist looked at my birth date and said, "Little friend's life is extremely precious, so it goes without saying that he will be rich in his life, but... two love catastrophes in his life, even if he resolves it smoothly, his vitality will be seriously injured."

"Twice?" I frowned and thought about it, how could there be two times?

The old Taoist stroked his beard and shook his head, looked up at the sky, and said, "Remember, don't be too attached to love."

I have never believed in these mysterious things, so I just listened to them, and cupped my hands to the Taoist priest in a half-understandable way: "Understood, thank you, Master."

The Taoist temple was built halfway up the mountain, and the road was difficult to walk in snowy weather, so I had to stay overnight.The guest room in Guanli is no better than a hotel. At night, I lay in bed for a long time unable to fall asleep, swiping my phone aimlessly, and unknowingly stopped on the chat window with Wen Luming.

The last conversation was this morning, and he said he was going to a meeting.The last paragraph was last night, and he said he had gone back to the hotel.And I didn't tell him that I didn't return all night before yesterday, but I only told him before going up the mountain to offer incense today.

Wen Luming told me to get dressed and be careful.

His profile picture was replaced with a picture of Belle, and the half hand holding the cat shown in the picture was mine.It's just been two days since I saw him, but when I looked at Wen Luming's profile picture, I felt a complex and unspeakable emotion that was close to nostalgia.

I forgot that I said that I would use these few days to get used to the life without him, put my finger on the input box, hesitated for a while and sent "Teacher Wen" over.

A few seconds later, Wen Luming's video call came over.I sat up and picked up the phone, the face of Wen Luming wearing glasses appeared on the screen.He was wearing my familiar pajamas and asked, "What's the matter, Yan Qiao?"

"Can't sleep, look what you're doing." I said.

Wen Luming seemed to be writing something on the computer, he glanced at the camera and said, "Arranging the minutes of the meeting, and you, why are you still awake?"

After speaking, he noticed the background behind me, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Didn't you go home today?"

"I drove here by myself. It's snowing and the mountain road is not easy to walk." I answered honestly.

In the video, Wen Luming's hair is wet, and the two buttons of his pajamas are casually unbuttoned, as if he just took a shower.He was doing the work in hand seriously, and asked with a hush, "Why don't you bring a driver?"

I smiled, "It seems sincere."

Wen Luming also smiled, very lightly, and shook his head helplessly.I watched him remember what the old Taoist said, and for some reason, I suddenly had a feeling of worrying about gain and loss, as if I could see but not touch him through the screen, and he was not mine anymore.

But I forgot that he wasn't mine in the first place.

"Teacher Wen..." I said unconsciously.

Wen Luming raised his eyes to look over, and was about to ask something, when suddenly there was a knock on the door behind him.I put on a smile and said, "It's okay, you go and open the door first."

"Wait for me." Wen Luming stood up and disappeared from the view of the camera.

The person who knocked on the door should be an acquaintance, he was delayed at the door for a long time.I was bored looking at the blank wall. I couldn't hear what they were talking about. I pricked up my ears to distinguish carefully. I could probably tell from the voice that the other party was not very old.

After returning, Wen Luming took the initiative to confess, "I'm a student, come and return the pen I borrowed this afternoon."

I teased: "Are you bringing students with you during the meeting?"

"For postgraduates who plan to go on to pursue a doctoral degree, participating in this kind of academic conference will help their resumes." Wen Luming said in a businesslike manner.

I nodded, "Oh..."

It was late at night outside, and I lay back under the quilt again, watching Wen Luming who was working quietly on the screen, and gradually fell asleep.He glanced at the camera occasionally, his gaze was gentle and calm, as if he was not separated by two thousand kilometers at this moment, but was by my side.

When I was half asleep and half awake, I suddenly had a wild idea-I wanted to see him.

I forgot how I fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, my phone was out of battery. The first time I plugged in the charger, I opened the airline’s software and booked an afternoon flight. Then I contacted the secretary and asked her to push The work that cannot be pushed is scheduled until next week, and all the work that cannot be pushed is scheduled before three o'clock this afternoon.

After doing all this, I belatedly realized that I seemed to be a little impulsive.

I, who hadn't prepared a surprise for anyone for a long time, sat on the bed and suddenly felt a little nervous. I couldn't help but wonder if I was too different to Wen Luming... It's just that I haven't seen him for a few days. Why do I want to see him so much?

Whatever came to mind, there was a buzz, and two messages popped up on the phone:

"Yan Qiao, are you up yet?"

"It's time to change Belle's cat litter, don't forget to go back today."

I looked at Wen Luming's profile picture, struggled for a moment, and finally put aside all the messy worries in my head, and replied, "Got it, Teacher Wen."
