Xia Wennan looked at the images of women with unclear faces in the picture album with the faint light. He felt that his fingers were covered with dust and rubbed them subconsciously.
"But isn't Mingqin...?" Xia Wennan was confused.
Ming Luchuan said: "Yes, but I was too young at that age. At that age, I didn't know anything. We were still poor at that time, and my father had to spend a lot of time working outside to support the two of us. He didn’t care about me at all. When I was in kindergarten, almost all of my peers were Betas. When I saw their mothers were all women with long hair, I thought my mother was also a woman with long hair.”
Xia Wennan nodded: "That's it."
This childhood memory should not be happy for Ming Luchuan. He spoke in a serious and serious tone, and Xia Wennan was too embarrassed to treat him with a joking mood. Instead, he wondered if he could say something to comfort him. .
There were only a dozen or so pages in that picture book, and then there was only blank space left. Perhaps the children in Ming Luchuan suddenly realized that their mother was not like this, so they lost interest in drawing.
Xia Wennan put the album back on the shelf, looked at the row of wood carvings, and said, "Your father still gave you a very precious gift despite working so hard."
"Well," Ming Luchuan said, "We have moved several times, and most of the things I had when I was a child are gone, only this one is still there."
"At least you still have a father, but I have no parents, and I have no memory of them at all," Xia Wennan thought to himself that it was worse for himself, and Ming Luchuan's other Alpha father is still alive, he I just don't want to recognize that father.
After saying this, Xia Wennan felt that it was meaningless for two people to compare each other, so he quickly changed his tone and said, "Did you find the tools? Can you repair the circuit?"
Ming Luchuan said: "I found it, let's go."
The circuit of the garden is drawn from the villa, and the distribution box is also on the east side of the villa, not far from the utility room.
When Ming Luchuan checked the circuit, Xia Wennan was beside him with a flashlight. He saw that Ming Luchuan's movements were not proficient, and he couldn't find the problem for a while, so he said: "If you can't fix it, let's just fix it. It just broke up."
Ming Luchuan didn't stop moving, and said, "You don't want to continue?"
"Generally, there is nothing to talk to them about."
"You don't like Duan Ning?"
"It's okay, I don't like it or like it." In order to illuminate him, Xia Wennan kept bowing his waist and knees, and couldn't help putting his hands on Ming Luchuan's shoulders after a long time.
Ming Luchuan's shoulders sank slightly, and at the same time, there was a soft sound from the distribution box, and the street lights around the villa suddenly turned on.
Xia Wennan jumped half a step back and said in panic, "Ming Luchuan!"
Ming Luchuan stood up slowly: "What are you doing?"
Xia Wennan patted his chest: "I thought you got an electric shock."
Ming Luchuan bent down to pick up the scattered tools: "I was electrocuted and you reacted like this?"
"I'm about to find a stick and beat you away."
Ming Luchuan raised his head and gave him a cold look.
Xia Wennan felt quite innocent: "Otherwise? Isn't this a normal reaction? You can't let me hug you and get electrocuted together?"
Ming Luchuan had already lifted his foot and left.
When Xia Wennan and Ming Luchuan went back to the garden, Duan Ning was standing beside Mingqin, looking like he was about to say goodbye.
"Why did you leave? Isn't it still early?" Xia Wennan spoke casually like an ordinary social person, and couldn't help but want to yawn after he finished speaking. Lu Chuan blocked his face in his arms so that the yawn could finish.
Duan Ning said: "It's getting late, there is still work tomorrow."
Mingqin said: "You come back this time, I don't know what work you are doing yet?"
Duan Ning smiled: "I'm taking a set of advertising photos for Moze."
After Xia Wennan yawned once, he immediately felt even more tired. When he was about to yawn for the second time, he heard Duan Ning's words and subconsciously looked at Mingqin.
Mingqin still had a smile on his face: "Why are you taking pictures for Moze and not for our Mingyan? Uncle is going to be angry."
Xia Wennan felt that he might be really upset, but his tone and expression were just right, making him look like he was just joking.
Duan Ning was also very calm, and said with a smile: "Because Mingyan didn't invite me."
Mingqin immediately looked at Ming Luchuan: "Boss, it's your fault. You and the great photographer are childhood sweethearts, how did you let others get ahead of you?"
Ming Luchuan calmly replied, "Let Xu Feng make arrangements for tomorrow."
Duan Ning smiled and said, "My price is very fair."
Duan Ning was the only guest tonight. He drove here by himself, and insisted that he didn't drink, so he wanted to drive back by himself.
Everyone else went to see him off, Xia Wennan found an excuse to go to the bathroom, and went into the villa alone.
There is a public bathroom on the first floor. At the end of the corridor, Xia Wennan just stepped into the door when he heard the sound of metal falling to the ground in the corridor. He hurriedly approached, turned around the corner from the living room to the corridor, and saw The metal wheelchair overturned on the ground and Ming Sichen sitting on the ground in thin pajamas.
Xia Wennan immediately wanted to help Ming Sichen up, but someone was faster than him, and it was Lu Huaiye who had just come out of the bathroom.
The place where Ming Sichen fell to the ground happened to be at the door of the bathroom, and Lu Huaiye saw him as soon as he opened the door. The tall Alpha squatted down without saying a word, first hugged Ming Sichen, then grabbed the handle of the wheelchair with the hand supporting Ming Sichen's leg, and lifted it up easily.
Xia Wennan wanted to go over to help, he took two steps, Lu Huaiye had already put Ming Sichen back on the wheelchair, so he slowed down and approached them.
Lu Huaiye noticed Xia Wennan, nodded at him, and then said to Ming Sichen, "Why are you out here so late?"
Naturally, Ming Sichen would not answer, he hung his head, and the butterfly tattoo on the back of his neck was very eye-catching under the light.
Lu Huaiye said to Xia Wennan: "Wennan, may I trouble you to send Sichen back to the room."
Xia Wennan didn't expect that Lu Huaiye would suddenly make this request, he was a little surprised, but responded, "Oh, yes."
Lu Huaiye did not help Ming Sichen's wheelchair, but passed them sideways and walked outside.
Xia Wennan pushed Ming Sichen back to his room, during this process, Ming Sichen kept his head down and did not speak.
Ming Sichen's room was only separated by a door, and the adjacent room was Aunt Zhang's bedroom. Although the door was closed, Xia Wennan could still hear Aunt Zhang's snoring.
He kept pushing Ming Sichen to the side of the bed, hesitantly asked: "Do you need me to help you go to bed?"
Ming Sichen didn't answer.
Seeing him like that, Xia Wennan couldn't bear to turn around and walk away, and reached out to lift Ming Sichen from the wheelchair like Lu Huaiye did.
As a result, Ming Sichen looked as thin as a bone, and was still much heavier than Xia Wennan imagined. Xia Wennan gritted his teeth, hugged Ming Sichen up and put him on the bed, then backed away panting slightly, and said, "Go to sleep, I'm leaving first."
Ming Sichen lay on his back on the bed, with his eyes open, he suddenly made a very soft voice: "Xia Wennan."
The light in the room was originally dim, Ming Sichen was thin and pale, but his eyes were black and big, which made him look a little scary in such an environment.
Xia Wennan's heart skipped a few beats and said, "Good night." He left Ming Sichen's room in a hurry, and he didn't forget to turn off the light and close the door for him when he went out.
