One-way Passage - Chapter 34
“Mr. Lin is—” When the question was asked, Xia Wennan knew that he must be extremely suspicious in He Yufeng’s eyes, but he really didn’t know who He Yufeng was talking about. He Yufeng continued to chat.
He Yufeng frowned: “Little Junior Brother, are you kidding me? How could you not know Teacher Lin?”
“I had a car accident, you know,” Xia Wennan planned to confess to He Yufeng, “I broke my head in the car accident.”
“Do you recognize me then?”
“Aren’t you Senior Brother He?”
He Yufeng said: “Since you know me, why don’t you know Mr. Lin? He is our graduate tutor.”
Xia Wennan reacted instantly and was also surprised: “We are graduate students of the same supervisor?”
He Yufeng seemed to feel absurd and smiled: “You are Teacher Lin’s closed disciple, otherwise why would I call you little junior brother?”
“I thought…” Xia Wennan shook his head, “Forget it, sorry, I really don’t remember.”
He Yufeng suddenly reached out to the top of Xia Wennan’s head, Xia Wennan reflexively leaned back to avoid, He Yufeng’s outstretched hand clenched into a fist and retracted it, saying to him, “I’m sorry.”
Xia Wennan felt a little awkward in the atmosphere and said, “Oh, it’s okay.”
He Yufeng continued: “I just want to know how much you hurt, why don’t you even remember these experiences?”
Xia Wennan raised his hand and touched his head: “The doctor said that the only thing that can be recovered is a temporary memory impairment, which is not a big problem.”
“Really?” He Yufeng said softly.
Xia Wennan glanced at him, saw that his eyes were a little stunned, and had a premonition that it would be more embarrassing to chat, so he said: “Luchuan is still waiting for me, I will go back first.”
He Yufeng nodded.
Xia Wennan hurried past him and continued to walk forward.
“Little Junior Brother,” He Yufeng called him from behind.
Xia Wennan turned around and heard He Yufeng say, “Call me if you have time, let’s go to Teacher Lin’s place together.”
“Okay,” Xia Wennan replied, and when he turned around and wanted to leave, he said one more thing to He Yufeng: “The chocolate truffle is delicious.”
When Xia Wennan returned to his seat in the banquet hall, the charity auction continued.
Ming Luchuan was talking in a low voice to an Alpha sitting next to him, and when he saw Xia Wennan coming back, he looked up at him.
Xia Wennan’s head was a mess, he took out his mobile phone and rummaged through the address book, and sure enough he found He Yufeng’s phone number. After opening WeChat, although he didn’t find He Yufeng in the friend list, he found a person named Truffle Chocolate. He clicked on the person’s detailed information and found that this was He Yufeng, and Truffle Chocolate was his note to He Yufeng.
When he was looking through the address book before, Xia Wennan didn’t care when he saw He Yufeng, just thought he was an ordinary university senior, and he would not contact him again after graduation. It was only now that he realized that his relationship with He Yufeng should be much closer.
After the charity dinner, Xia Wennan left with Ming Luchuan, and did not encounter He Yufeng and Duan Ning, nor Lu Huaiye and Ming Siyan.
The driver drove his car and parked at the door of the hotel to pick them up. On the way home, Xia Wennan and Ming Luchuan sat side by side in the back seat. He was silent all the way.
When Xia Wennan and Ming Luchuan were together, Xia Wennan often took the initiative to talk to Ming Luchuan, so tonight Xia Wennan was quiet, and Ming Luchuan followed suit.
“Have you been drinking?” Ming Luchuan said the first sentence after getting into the car after the car had driven for nearly half of the journey.
“No,” Xia Wennan replied, falling into silence again. He has a lot of things to think about, such as whether someone deliberately gave him sleeping pills that night? For example, is Siyan implying that there is something between him and Duan Ning? But now the question that he thinks the most is that he and He Yufeng are teachers and students under the same mentor.
He Yufeng is Moze’s boss, so why didn’t he work in Moze, but came to Mingyan? Like Ming Luchuan said, he really likes Ming Luchuan?
“Is it hot?” Ming Luchuan asked.
The sound insulation of the car is very good, the cabin is silent, only the very slight engine sound.
Ming Luchuan said: “Are you hungry?”
Xia Wennan replied, “I’m not hungry.”
After about half a minute, Ming Luchuan said in a gloomy tone: “I’m hungry, find a place to have supper.”
Xia Wennan inexplicably followed Ming Luchuan to a roadside shop for a late night snack. The two of them were still wearing banquet dresses and sitting in the humble shop. Take a look at them, then wait until you find a seat and sit down, then keep peeking at them.
The driver pulled up to the side of the road and leaned against the car in a neat suit to smoke.
Xia Wennan adheres to the principle that Ming Luchuan is not afraid of losing face and he is not afraid of it.
Ming Luchuan sat opposite him, holding disposable chopsticks on the table: “Aren’t you hungry?”
Xia Wennan looked at him: “Come here…”
.
Xia Wennan took off his coat after sitting for a while, put it on the back of the chair at will, and unbuttoned the collar of his white shirt, feeling that he finally looked stupid without Ming Luchuan opposite him.
He asked Ming Luchuan: “Aren’t you full from the cake?”
Ming Luchuan did not answer.
Xia Wennan carefully looked at Ming Luchuan’s expression and asked tentatively, “Are you angry?”
Ming Luchuan snorted softly.
“Why are you angry?” Xia Wennan also held disposable chopsticks in his hand, “I didn’t quarrel with you tonight.”
Ming Luchuan still did not answer.
Xia Wennan knew that there was no answer from him, so he immediately gave up the question and raised his head to look: “Why hasn’t my chaotic face come yet?”
It was very late after supper, Xia Wennan’s blood rushed to his stomach, his brain was empty, he sat in the car, holding his stomach in a daze.
I don’t know how long it took, Ming Luchuan suddenly said: “Why don’t you speak?”
Xia Wennan turned his head and looked at him and blurted out, “Is Duan Ning your ex-boyfriend?”
Ming Luchuan was slightly startled, and replied casually: “No.”
Xia Wennan asked again, “Did you like him before?”
This time Ming Luchuan did not speak.
Xia Wennan approached Ming Luchuan and raised **** in front of him, “Give you a chance,” he pulled a finger down with the other hand, “shaking your head is denial,” he continued Pulling down his second finger, “If you don’t shake your head, you will admit it.” After speaking, he raised his head and stared at Ming Luchuan.
Ming Luchuan neither nodded nor shook his head.
Xia Wennan sat back, “That’s why I like it.”
