Chapter 46: On the train

Views:

While we were talking, the indicator light at the ticket gate turned green, and Wen Jiubai and I followed the crowd to check the tickets and walked to the platform.

"This is how the relationship between my grandpa and grandma began to become very rigid. After grandpa was paralyzed, his temper became very bad, and no matter how hard my grandma took care of me, grandpa would always complain. Later, the complaints gradually It turned into cursing, but people in our family..." I lowered my eyes and shook my head, "People in my family are a little indifferent to human relations, and they just turn a blind eye to things like the elderly."

"Car 12, No. 28, go this way."

"Car No. 12, No. 29, this way, thank you."

I glared at Wen Jiubai. Even the seat numbers are connected, this guy really planned it long ago.

Our seats happened to be next to the window. Wen Jiubai sat down first, poured a glass of water from the thermos provided on the train and handed it to me, looking at me with interest.

"What kind of family is your family?"

I took the water and gave him a blank look, "Don't you know my second aunt? It should be very clear."

"No, at most I have a little understanding as an outsider. I still can't get detailed information without asking you." Wen Jiubai also picked up his own cup and put it near his mouth, blew lightly, and held it in the Hands shaking. There is always a special charm in this person's demeanor and movements, even taking a sip of cool white tea is like tasting tea.

I broke my mouth and said, "Okay... Then I will tell you if I want to know. Our family is in the clothing business. At first I heard that it was my father who did it, but it didn't take long before my father cheated on me and found a mistress. Most of the property in the store ran away. My mother was the only one left in the family. She was very strong and capable, and she insisted on propping up the few remaining stores and continued to operate them.”

"Yes." Wen Jiubai responded noncommittally.

"When I was in junior high school, her shop became very big. In our family, my mother was the youngest one. On top of her were two older sisters and an older brother, who were my uncle and my aunt. Aunt. My uncle is a worker. He is very honest. If something happens to the family, he usually gives money if he can, and contributes as much as he can. My uncle has a son who is my cousin. The last time I heard about him I heard that he had just returned from studying in Japan. My aunt is now in the United States, and her eldest daughter—that is, my eldest cousin is studying in the United States and is pregnant, so she has to take care of it. But my second cousin is at home , She just graduated from university not long ago, and I don’t know if she has found a job now. As for my second aunt, you should be the most familiar, right? She is a middle school teacher, married once and divorced, so she has no children until now .”

Wen Jiubai nodded, but still didn't express anything.

I looked at Wen Jiubai in frustration, feeling like I had punched cotton, "Speaking of which, how on earth did you know that I was going home and bought the ticket for the seat next to me."

"It's very simple." Wen Jiubai said with a smile, "the letter from your second aunt also included a note with her phone number, so I called her to ask about the situation. Naturally, I learned that you were going home thing."

What... It's that simple. I laughed to myself for thinking that he used some psychic spell or something.

"Then you should know the situation of our family almost as well as my second aunt!"

"That's right." Wen Jiubai looked innocent.

"Then you still ask me!"

"Because I want to hear it from you." Wen Jiubai smiled even more happily.

"You—" Just as I was about to get angry, I suddenly realized something. Swallowing, she looked at Wen Jiubai nervously, even stuttering, "Then, that... my mother, does she know that you are coming back with me?"

"I probably don't know yet." Wen Jiubo thought for a while and said, "Shanqiu just told me what she knew, and didn't say that she would tell your mother."

"That's it..." I slightly let go of the stone hanging in my heart.

"What? Do you care?" Wen Jiubai's eyes looked at me, but I didn't dare to look at him at all.

"not at all… "

"I heard that your relationship with your mother is not good. Is there any reason?"

Wen Jiubai's questions became more and more aggressive, but I didn't know how to answer them, so I simply stood up from my seat.

"Sorry, that... I have to go to the bathroom."

In terms of the bluntness of changing the subject, no one can match me. Wen Jiubai didn't ask any further questions, but when I came back from the toilet, he had already dozed off with his chin in one hand, eyes closed.

I quietly sat down beside him and stared at him curiously.

I never saw him sleep, nor did I seem to see him eat. Having known each other for so long, I don't know anything about Wen Jiubai, not even whether he is human. But he knows me very well, he can always see through what I am thinking and doing, and now he even has a thorough understanding of my family background. But he is still full of unknowns for me.

But... he will sleep too. Such an idea popped into my head, but was soon laughed at by myself. What, of course people can sleep, even monsters can sleep, otherwise how could there be a bed in Wen Jiubai's room

Wen Jiubai's eyelashes are very long, this is the first time I have noticed. But this kind of slenderness is not feminine at all, but gives people a handsome and powerful feeling. Wen Jiubai's face is also beautiful, with regular features and good skin. Although it is a bit strange to use the word "beauty" to describe a man, Wen Jiubai is really rare and handsome, with both masculine masculinity and feminine beauty...

"What are you doing?" Wen Jiubai suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, his peach blossom eyes were bent and looked at me with a smile, "Is there anything dirty on my face?"

I was so scared that I almost had a heart attack, "What are you doing!"

"What am I doing? It's obviously what you are doing." Wen Jiubai touched his face, "My face is almost stared at by you. Am I so good-looking?"

"No! Who cares to look at you." My cheeks were a little hot, and I quickly avoided Wen Jiubai's eyes, pretending to look around.

And Wen Jiubai stretched his waist at this time, "What time is it? I'm hungry. Thanks to you, I didn't eat breakfast or lunch today."

"Huh?" I was baffled.

"After I received that letter in the morning, I was busy buying tickets. You also know how difficult it is to buy tickets during the Golden Week. In order to get the seat next to you, I used a lot of crooked means. At noon, I settled Bai and asked him to go to a friend's house to help. You also know the character of that weasel. If you leave him there casually, he will probably turn my house upside down. .” Wen Jiubai said slowly, folded his arms.
