Dense forest between, a patch of darkness.
At this moment the sky just slightly brightening, morning sun still has not risen, morning wind brushes past treetops, birds flapping their wings jumping on branches, they open black-bean-like small eyes curiously looking at the two people below making a noisy fuss.
Shen Lingge in one hand carrying Wen Xian’s painting bag, the other hand holding her leading up the mountain. And the little girl beside him with a sleepy appearance, she forcing herself to stay awake quarreling with him: “Shen Lingge are you sick!”
Shen Lingge’s footsteps did not stop, tone indifferent: “Wen Xian, you have sketching homework on the weekend, the topic is sunrise.”
At this moment still not far from Wen family’s villa, Wen Xian struggling in dying throes: “I was preparing to get up early tomorrow morning to go up the mountain, do you know what time it is now? It’s only five o’clock now, I just fell asleep not long ago wuwuwu.”
Wen Xian wiped away a handful of bitter tears, cultivating immortality makes her bald, drawing makes her bald.
The life of a contemporary flower season [meaning: teenage/young] girl is inevitably too difficult.
Shen Lingge glanced at her: “Wasn’t it ten thirty yesterday I told you to go to sleep? How long did you play again last night? If you keep doing this I will restrict your internet time, you pay attention a bit yourself.”
Wen Xian: “……”
She wanted to bite people again.
Wen Xian shook off Shen Lingge holding her hand, dissatisfied: “Why do you have to control everything! Do you know how bitter adult life is now? How can you deprive me of my only joy?”
Shen Lingge’s face did not change as he used his trump card: “Starting now as long as you go to bed early and get up early one day on weekends, next week I will come to accompany you, no matter how busy I am I will rush over.”
Wen Xian’s struggling action paused, she drooped her head muttering in a small voice: “Who wants you to accompany me, you big liar, clearly said next month going abroad for work for two months, still say accompany me.”
Shen Lingge seeing her appearance of not fully awake drooping and listless, lightly sighed.
He stopped forward footsteps, walked to Wen Xian’s front slightly bent down: “Come up, I will carry you up.”
Wen Xian rubbed her eyes, without the slightest hesitation just sprawled on Shen Lingge’s back.
Shen Lingge carried her walking up the mountain, her small head just hanging beside his neck, breathing sound clearly audible. He said in a low voice: “No matter how busy I will come back to see you.”
Wen Xian half circling his neck in a small voice said: “Don’t want, you work properly outside, not allowed to run back and forth. I will obediently sleep, later definitely sleep before eleven o’clock.”
Shen Lingge uncompromising: “Ten thirty.”
Wen Xian reached out starting to pull his ear, fiercely: “Eleven o’clock!”
Shen Lingge: “……”
This girl really is give her a candy she can go up to the sky, yesterday still scared of him not okay, today already climbed on his head again.
Shen Lingge could only say: “Ten thirty must get on the bed, you can only play half an hour on the bed, if anywhere I find you still playing with your phone at night, later you don’t even think about bringing the phone into the room.”
Wen Xian grievance-filled, she quietly accused: “Shen Lingge you are so fierce, you still say chasing me, is this what chasing me looks like?”
Shen Lingge: “How is it not? Can I be fiercer than you?”
Wen Xian: “……?”
The two of them just like this one sentence from you one sentence from me quarreled halfway up the road, later Wen Xian still could not hold on, tilting her head leaning on his shoulder just fell asleep, Shen Lingge slowed down his pace.
At this moment the sun had already slowly risen, bright light passing through dense lush forest shining onto Shen Lingge and Wen Xian’s body, Shen Lingge slightly raised his head looking ahead at the grand scene of sunrise.
He helplessly bent his lips in a smile, then turned around walking back down.
This morning he originally did not plan to bring her to paint, only wanted her to properly adjust her work and rest schedule, in the future go to sleep earlier. Last night when he finished handling business matters and came out, it was already one o’clock. He habitually went to take a look outside Wen Xian’s room door.
The little girl lying on the bed with legs crossed watching variety shows did not notice at all that the door had been opened, her left hand holding Qiuqiu, right hand hugging Wen Xianxian, the two little things also staying up late with her.
Qiuqiu was fine, originally already a night owl, but she actually even didn’t let Wen Xianxian off.
Shen Lingge silently stared at her for a long time, decided to get her up at five in the morning, properly educate her.
But now he couldn’t bear to wake her up again, carrying her slowly walking back home, the two of them together rarely having such a quiet moment, usually she was always chirping noisily.
And before meeting Wen Xian, Shen Lingge himself also didn’t know his heart could become so incomparably soft because of a girl, these past two months he spoke more words than in the whole past year.
He once told Wen Xian, he doesn’t like talking, also doesn’t like laughing. But in front of Wen Xian, he became unlike himself, or perhaps became more like himself.
In Wen Xian’s eyes, Shen Lingge saw a better version of himself.
Actually Wen Xian was right, she can create a new world, she also brought a brand-new Shen Lingge into this world.
…
At this time, in the large Xu family villa, aside from Xu Chuwei there were only servants, her parents had not returned home for several days, her father was handling those few terminated projects, Shen Corporation very generous, paid a large sum of penalty fees.
Therefore, Xu Corporation did not suffer too much turmoil because of this matter, and her mother was busy stabilizing relationships with all the major families in Licheng, but after the news spread out Xu Corporation was more worried about the subsequent impact.
And all this was because of Wen Xian.
Because of drinking and staying up late, Xu Chuwei’s complexion looked very bad, completely unlike her usual bright and charming appearance, the servant seeing her return spoke carefully: “Young Miss, please have breakfast first before going to rest.”
Xu Chuwei did not respond, passed by the servant directly walking upstairs.
She had just sat down tiredly on the sofa when the phone in her bag started vibrating, Xu Chuwei frowned, took out the phone and glanced at it, she was just about to press it off but saw the note on it.
Her expression coldly picked up the phone: “How is the matter done?”
Don’t know what the person on the other end of the phone said, she suddenly laughed: “These few days no need to follow anymore, wait some time until he has no time to care about her, he won’t be able to come back for a while either.”
The man on the other end of the call, although he did not understand what Xu Chuwei was saying, but he understood the first half sentence, he asked: “Miss Xu, is it okay to take action after one week?”
Xu Chuwei thought for a moment: “Wait two weeks, at that time I will notify you.”
The man answered: “Yes.”
Xu Chuwei looked at the empty air relaxingly closing her eyes, what she wanted and thought in her heart would in the end go as she wished.
—
Wen Xian woke up on a soft bed, when she woke up she was still a little dazed, because Qiuqiu’s chubby face was pressing against her neck side, Wen Xianxian was also sleeping soundly at the edge of the bed.
Wen Xian: “……”
So everything that happened in the morning was her dreaming?
Wen Xian with a face full of question marks crawled up from the bed, she leaned by the bedside table looking several times at the displayed time as if confirming, now it was ten thirty in the morning, within the time range she usually wakes up on weekends.
Wen Xian wearing pajamas ran downstairs with thumping steps, on the way just happened to meet Duoduo who was preparing to go upstairs, as soon as she saw Duoduo she pounced next to her asking: “Duoduo, did I go out this morning?”
Duoduo blankly said: “Miss, did you have a dream?”
Hmm hmm hmm?
Wen Xian face full of confusion.
Then she slowly let go of Duoduo, falling into self-doubt: “Could it be I really was dreaming?”
Just as Wen Xian was utterly unable to figure it out, Duoduo suddenly let out a puff of laughter: “Miss, I was teasing you. This morning it was Young Master who carried you back. Miss, did you see the sunrise?”
Wen Xian’s face full of black lines: “No! Then why did he wake me up!!!”
“Ah ah ah ah I’m going to kill him!”
Duoduo said smilingly: “Miss, Young Master said from now on Saturdays and Sundays you have to get up before nine o’clock. If you can’t get up, we’ll have our bonuses deducted. If you can’t get up for a whole month, we won’t get our bonuses for that whole month.”
Wen Xian: “… And you can still laugh about it?”
Duoduo looked at Wen Xian expectantly: “I know Miss definitely wouldn’t let us lose our bonuses, right?”
Wen Xian frowned her small face, tangled: “…… That’s not too easy to say.”
As she spoke, she stretched her head to glance behind Duoduo, then ran with little steps to the stairway entrance, peeking in the direction of the living room for a while. She turned back and asked in a low voice: “Duoduo, where is Shen Lingge?”
Duoduo replied: “Young Master is still busy, right now should be in the study.”
Wen Xian nodded, then quietly tiptoed in the direction of the study. She crouched at the door eavesdropping for a while before opening the door and going in. She poked in half her head and watched for a while.
Shen Lingge was sitting with his back to her on the sofa, don’t know what he was looking at.
Wen Xian hunched over and moved toward the sofa. When she got close to Shen Lingge, she carefully held her breath, silently counting down three seconds in her heart.
Wen Xian suddenly stood up and covered Shen Lingge’s eyes with both hands. She tilted her head proudly and asked: “Guess who I am!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Xian glanced at Shen Lingge’s computer screen. With just one look she froze, facing five or six foreign friends in a video meeting, while the man whose eyes she was covering lightly laughed.
His tone carried faint doting: “Xian Xian, don’t make trouble, I’m in a meeting.”
Wen Xian: ……………….
Wen Xian immediately withdrew her gaze and looked at him, Shen Lingge was wearing Bluetooth earphones, no wonder she hadn’t heard any sound. She whimpered and wanted to run, but Shen Lingge grabbed her wrist.
Wen Xian didn’t dare to speak loudly, so she could only ask in a breathy voice: “What are you doing!”
Shen Lingge pulled her to sit on his lap.
Wen Xian’s face turned red as she buried her head against his neck and didn’t move. Shen Lingge leaned slightly to turn off the camera on his side.
He lowered his head looking at her completely red cheeks, laughing in a low voice: “So shy?”
Wen Xian spoke by biting his ear: “…… Can you not talk.”
Shen Lingge didn’t tease her anymore, his tone cold again, completely losing the gentleness from just now: “Continue.”
Wen Xian secretly glanced at the computer screen, seeing that their side’s window had gone dark, only then did her hanging heart settle down. She couldn’t help whispering: “Shen Lingge, let me go, I want to go down.”
Shen Lingge raised his hand lightly stroking her hair, only saying: “Xian Xian, they can hear.”
Wen Xian: ……
Wuwuwu she really shouldn’t have bothered with him. Wen Xian was locked in place by Shen Lingge, couldn’t move at all, the only things she could move were her head and her feet. She couldn’t take it and started biting again.
This time she learned to be smart, opened her mouth and bit down right on his collarbone.
Shen Lingge slightly furrowed his brows, he didn’t stop Wen Xian’s action, only said in a low voice: “Learning from Wen Xianxian acting spoiled? Like a little dog.”
Wen Xian: ?
Can you shut up?
