Wanderer

Chapter 115 Family

Most of the so-called "noble blue blood" all over the country have similar aesthetic tastes. A few years ago, when Bai Yunqi sat with Ke Likai at the gate of his villa, there were a few black swans swimming in front of him. Now he is sitting with Bai Yue in the public garden On the bench, a black swan stretched its neck and looked at the two curiously, perhaps thinking that they were looking for a romantic couple under the starry sky when they had nothing to do.

"I was raised by my grandma, and I haven't met my parents before." Bai Yunqi took a sip of the soda water that Bai Yue took from the car, it wasn't the brand Wen Hai usually drank, and the taste was a bit sweet, " The old man passed away in the third year of high school, and some things happened after I said it now, you may have to push me into this pool, and our family of three reached a bloody reunion."

Bai Yue was amused by Bai Yunqi's description, took off his high-heeled shoes and stepped on the bluestone board barefoot, "Grandma, I don't have grandma, grandpa, or grandma. Grandpa doesn't like our dad, and I don't like it for more than [-] years." I haven't seen him, have you seen our grandpa?"

"Well, the old man is still in good health."

"It's said that old people like to spoil their children." Bai Yue tilted his head, his long loose hair draped over his shoulders, "Xiao Qi is so sensible, your grandma must love you very much, right?"

Bai Yunqi thought for a while, and finally said: "From her point of view, she is still very good to me."

"How is it not bad?" Bai Yue was curious, "Feeding you into a little fat man?"

"Barely let me live to eighteen."

"..."

Bai Yunqi gave a low laugh, raised his head and took a sip of soda water.

Although Bai Yue was drunk, he was not so drunk as to be careless. He realized that he had asked the wrong question just now, and quickly said, "Sorry... um, I don't know..."

"It's nothing." Bai Yunqi shook his head, "People have a very strange characteristic, that is, they remember to eat but not to fight. In fact, I haven't thought of my grandma for a long time, but when I mention her now, my first impression is that there is something wrong with her." I gave a piece of rice cracker candy on my birthday last time, have you ever eaten it? It’s made of rice crackers, mixed with sugar syrup and sesame seeds, we could eat it when we were young, and we ran around telling each other to show off.”

Of course he didn't dare to show it off, if he walked out of the house with that piece of candy, he would be beaten up and the candy would be taken away.

Bai Yue, who was fed up with imported snacks since childhood, shook his head, his eyes were full of envy, and he even swallowed: "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Bai Yunqi also replied seriously, "Then I licked and bitten a small piece and dreamed, and it took me half a month to eat it."

Bai Yue pursed her lips, almost writing the words "I want to eat too" on her forehead.

"One day before my birthday, we had a quarrel..." Bai Yunqi paused for a moment, "I had no food after the quarrel, I hid in my room and was starving, thinking that my grandma would go back to her room and go to the kitchen to steal some food Yes, but she was busy in the kitchen that night, and I thought to fuck at that moment, at worst, I went to get the food in front of her and then had a fight, but she came to knock on it just after twelve I opened the door and put a bowl of noodles on my table."

Bai Yue said "Oh" and asked again: "Is your birthday on September 9rd? I saw that it is written on your ID card."

Bai Yunqi was stunned for a moment, "I don't know."

"Ah?" Bai Yue was also taken aback, "I don't know?"

"September [-]rd is the day my mother sent me to my grandma's house, but she didn't say when I was born. Later, when I registered for household registration, my grandma couldn't contact my mother, so she just used that as my birthday." Bai Yunqi explained, "My mother is probably the only one who knows my birthday, but after so many years, she probably forgot it too."

The black swan groaned softly at the full moon, breaking the long silence, and Bai Yue sighed heavily: "It's my father who is sorry for you."

But Bai Yunqi said: "No, Boss, he didn't do anything wrong. If there is anything wrong, firstly, he found the wrong person, and Shu Hanwei was not a suitable lover; secondly, he still cared about his feelings at that time. , let her give birth to me. I know Shu Hanwei. She is not smart, but she has excess ambition and desire. If Bokang took me by his side, she would not be like Feng Chanting, at least she would have lived in public for a few years , your family will be in a mess from more than [-] years ago, and it will continue until one of her and Bai Kang passed away, and I will be my mother's last killer. If I have received the same education and thinking as you since childhood, and have the same resources, do you think I will pose a greater or lesser threat to you?"

Bai Yue said: "If Dad did nothing wrong, why do you still call him Director Bai and me Boss? Shouldn't we be a family in terms of blood relationship?"

"The so-called "home" and "family" are very empty and personal definitions, Boss." Bai Yunqi responded lightly, "When people mention these two concepts, they subconsciously agree not with blood relatives but with emotional links. For most people, blood is the deepest bond, but that doesn't apply to me, my home is not here, and I have only one family, and that is my love."

"Look, I'm in front of you, Xiaoying is waiting at home, our father is in the hospital not far from here, and your mother is still alive, but you say you only have one family, isn't this many years ago? The consequences of that mistake." Bai Yue pointed to herself, "Yunqi, I have nothing to be sorry for you, you know about our family..." She made wild gestures, "I am the most innocent of all the relationships in the family , my mother... Maybe there is something wrong with her, but she shouldn't have to bear it. Sometimes when I look at Xiaoying, I just think, how can you live so carefree, why are you? What the hell did your mother make my house look like, you still have the guts to call me 'sister'..."

"Boss." Bai Yunqi interrupted her, "It's too late, you're drunk too, I'll take you back."

"No, no, Yunqi, listen to me, I'm drunk, I can't say this if I'm not drunk, I can't say it, I'm standing by the window for so many days, I want to jump off, you Wait for me, if you don’t want to hear it, just put on the earphones..." Bai Yue waved his hands upside down, "But what is wrong with her, you are all right, children don’t care about having children, it’s more than 30 years earlier If you had told me earlier that this mess is going on, I would never come out of my mother's stomach, what did my mother say, saying that it is a sin for you people to be born and live, do you think it makes sense?"

Bai Yunqi: "...you ask me?"

"Yes, let me ask you." Bai Yue stood up unsteadily, "Do you think it makes sense? The things in your previous life were messy and endless. What's wrong with us, who doesn't feel wronged—— "

The black swan blew again, and Bai Yunqi sat there without saying a word.

Helping Bai Yue, who was drunk and crazy, back home, the aunt at home was waiting at the door of the private courtyard. Bai Yunqi didn't know how his image appeared in this house. The middle-aged lady who met him stared at him with extreme disgust and hatred at the first glance, snatched Bo Yue from him with great strength, and asked distressedly: "Why did Xiao Yue drink so much wine? Suffering or not?"

Bai Yue waved his hand, "No, nothing, where is Xiaoying?"

"Xiaoying refuses to sleep, and must wait for you to come back."

"Where's my mother?"

"Madam..." Auntie bit her lower lip unbearably, "Madam has something to do, so let's say she won't come back."

"How many days." Bai Yue laughed, full of bitterness, and turned to look at Bai Yunqi: "I don't know what you said to her, she didn't come back after looking for you."

Facing the four meaningful gazes, Bai Yunqi practiced Tai Chi as if he didn't notice: "It's just that Mr. Xue repeated what Mr. Bai told me. It's nothing. It's probably because Mr. Bai is not doing well these days. Don't worry, Mr. Xue will accompany you in the hospital."

Auntie's eyebrows twitched, she probably had already prepared a half-bellied swearing sentence and couldn't say it because of her status, her face flushed from holding back, and she turned her head to deliberately avoid Bai Yunqi.

As a class enemy, Bai Yunqi was conscious of this, and he didn't even go in the gate of the courtyard. He politely declined the invitation of his aunt's yin and yang to "come in and sit in the house", and lukewarmly asked the sleepy-looking Bai Yunqi. Yue said goodbye and quickly disappeared into the night.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Bai Xiaoying, who was already asleep while sitting on the sofa hugging the pillow, hurried to the door, smelled the smell of alcohol with a sharp nose, and raised her delicate voice: "Sister! How do you drink?" So much wine?!"

"Hush——" Bai Yue picked up Bai Xiaoying halfway, and tapped the little girl's forehead, "It's so late, don't sleep, be careful of acne."

"Sister, don't you also order pizza in the middle of the night?"

"..." Bai Yue slapped her buttocks, trying to maintain his adult self-esteem, "A child dares to compare this with me, go to sleep!"

Seeing the back of Bai Xiaoying reluctantly, holding the teddy bear and walking upstairs to the bedroom, Bai Yue stood thoughtfully in the empty living room, her eyes were clear, and after a while, she After dialing the phone, he said in a cold voice, "Lawyer Wu, no matter what tonight, I must see Bai Kang's revised will. Besides, Bai Yunqi's mouth is too strict for me to pry it open. I still have to rely on you and Xue Yanmei to mediate. .”

Sitting in the taxi, Bai Yunqi wanted to laugh for no reason, he knew that Bai Yue's sincere feelings just now were all acting out for him, and Bai Yue also knew that he was just being a spectator, but the two of them almost fell into it again. Luckily, when the money falls to the ground, there will be a sound, and the dream will wake up. What love between children, blood is thicker than water, involuntary, the sky bears me... In the end, it is just what I want I didn't get it, and I didn't catch it when I got it.

Another mobile phone in his close pocket suddenly rang. He was pleasantly surprised for a moment, and then immediately realized that it was definitely not the time for Wen Hai to contact him. It should be a harassing text message or Sun Miao and Liu Xinyu who had nothing to do. Chat with him.

It took only half a second for the fingerprint to be unlocked, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen of the phone. The person must have spent a long time choosing words before he could spell out such a text message that seemed to explain everything clearly, but was full of mosaics—" Hello, sister-in-law, I am a colleague of Team Wen, and it is inconvenient for Team Wen to contact you due to official business, so please let me convey my greetings to you, he is fine, please don't worry."

business?What official business?Where are you on business?all good?How is it?Did it not hurt a piece of skin or is there still a breath left?Don't worry?Why don't you worry?Is it because he has nine lives of steel and iron, or is my heart wide enough to tolerate the Pacific Ocean?

Bai Yunqi felt irritated for no reason—he didn't forget to read this text message seven or eight times before he got irritated, okay, he has official business, he's fine, he said don't worry, then I'll Act like you're not worried.He leaned against the car window to calm down and breathe for a few seconds, and he replied: "Okay, thank you."

After a few minutes, the number actually replied again: "Sorry, I asked a colleague to send it just now. He doesn't know about Wen Hai's situation. Please don't mind the address."

Reminded by him like this, Bai Yunqi noticed the two big characters "sister-in-law" at the beginning of the last text message, and couldn't help but look a little thought-provoking, and said, "It's okay, you have worked hard."

"Thank you for your understanding and support." There was a cliché at first, and before Bai Yunqi could adjust his mentality, he caught off guard and made a big move: "The original words of the Wen team were, 'Tell him for me, this matter is over. , go home and wait for me when you’re done, and I’ll go home and wait for him when you’re not done.”

Because he wanted to walk for a while to wake up and go back to his room to continue working, the destination Bai Yunqi said was one block away from the hotel where he was staying. The driver misunderstood his words and parked the car in front of several family buildings of the unit. Turning down the sound of the radio, he turned around and said, "You're home, young man. I'll charge you thirty yuan for 31 yuan. I'll go home to pick up the baby after I finish your trip... Hey, are you alright? What's the matter?" Don't you look bad?"

But Bai Yunqi said: "I finally saw my home, and I couldn't help being excited."

The driver laughed, and the DJ on the radio asked softly, "It's getting late at night, are you on your way home now? A good night song for everyone, I wish you all a good dream tonight."

Bai Yunqi got out of the car, looked up, and saw the moon hanging in the sky like a silver basin, the moon was bright and the stars were bright, a rare sight in a big city.

It's another fifteen, and it's almost another year in a blink of an eye.

Wen Hai, who was sitting by the window, withdrew his gaze, pretended to be impatient and glanced at the person opposite, without saying a word, and tapped his knuckles on the table twice.

The white dog pressed the cigar into the ashtray, and let out a deep breath, "Do you know why I am called the white dog? My dad sold me to the market for 200 yuan when I first remembered, and my mother almost died there. Just when I was about to die, the evil master passed by there, his eyes were not working well, he looked at me from a distance and asked the trafficker, you are not in the human head business, you have started selling dog meat instead? Everyone laughs, evil master I squinted my eyes again, and saw that I was a human being, and said why this child is so white, like a little white dog, and the traffickers apologized, saying that you bought it and kept it for fun. Get your life back."

"I just listened to you expressing my life here in the middle of the night, reminiscing about my childhood." Wen Hai twirled the hot red cigarette butt with his fingers indifferently, and spit on the floor, "Our feelings are also here, and the atmosphere is here. Why don't you just lift the curtain, can I make a move on this product or not? Do you want to keep this life for me, or are you ready to let me take it here?"

"I know, your life came out by narrow escapes several times, Jin Gui. Unlike me, it's really just a dog's life, and no one will take it if you want to give it away." The white dog pointed to his chest, "But it's the same with being a dog. It’s been many years, and I, too, want to be called by my personal name.”

Wen Hai was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to himself: "It's almost Chinese New Year."

"What?" The white dog was stunned.

"It's almost New Year's Eve." Wen Hai looked at him with a half-smile, "A new year, a new beginning, don't you think so?"
