One-way Passage - Chapter 40

    Xia Wennan looked at the images of women with unclear faces in the album through the weak light. He felt his fingers were covered with dust and rubbed them subconsciously.

    “But isn’t Ming Qin…?” Xia Wennan’s thoughts were confused.

    Ming Luchuan said: “Yeah, but I was too young at that time. At that age, I didn’t know anything. We were very poor at that time, and my father had to spend a lot of time outside. We have to work to support the two of us. He doesn’t care about me at all. When I was in kindergarten, my peers were almost all Betas. I saw that their mothers were all long-haired women, and I thought my mother was also a long-haired woman. .”

    Xia Wennan nodded: “That’s it.”

    This childhood memory should not be happy for Ming Luchuan. He spoke in a serious and serious tone. Even Xia Wennan was embarrassed to treat him as a joke. Nothing could be said to comfort him.

    The album only had more than ten pages of drawings, and then it was only blank. Perhaps the children of Mingluchuan suddenly realized that their mother was not like this, and lost interest in drawing.

    Xia Wennan put the album back on the shelf, looked at the row of wood carvings, and said, “Your father has given you a very precious gift even after working so hard.”

    “Well,” Ming Luchuan said, “We’ve 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 my parents are gone, and I have no memory of them at all,” Xia Wennan thought to himself that the misfortune was more miserable, and Ming Luchuan had another An Alpha father is still alive, he just doesn’t want to recognize that father.

    After saying this, Xia Wennan felt that it was meaningless to compare the two, and quickly changed his tone and said, “Have you found the tool? Can you repair the circuit?”

    Ming Luchuan said: “I found it, let’s go.”

    The circuit of the garden is pulled from the villa, and the power distribution box is also on the east side of the villa, not far from the utility room.

    When Ming Luchuan was checking the circuit, Xia Wennan helped him with a flashlight. He saw that Ming Luchuan was not very skilled, and he couldn’t find the problem for a while, so he said: “If you can’t fix it, don’t fix it. It just happened.”

    Ming Luchuan didn’t stop and said, “You don’t want to continue?”

    “Nothing to talk about with them.”

    “You don’t like Duan Ning?”

    “It’s okay, I don’t like it or I don’t like it.” In order to illuminate him, Xia Wennan kept hunched over and bent his knees. After a long time, he couldn’t help putting his hand on Ming Luchuan’s shoulder. .

    Mingluchuan’s shoulders sank slightly, and at the same time the power distribution box made a soft noise, and the street lamps around the villa suddenly turned on.

    Xia Wennan jumped back half a step and panicked: “Mingluchuan!”

    Ming Luchuan stood up slowly: “What?”

    Xia Wennan patted his chest: “I thought you were electrocuted.”

    Ming Luchuan bent over to pick up the scattered tools: “Is this how you react when I get an electric shock?”

    “I was about to find a stick to slap you away.”

    Ming Luchuan looked up at him coldly.

    Xia Wennan felt quite innocent: “Otherwise? Isn’t this a normal reaction? You can’t let me hold you and get an electric shock, right?”

    Ming Luchuan has already left.

    When Xia Wennan and Ming Luchuan went back to the garden, Duan Ning was standing beside Ming Qin, looking like he was planning to say goodbye.

    “Why did you just leave? Isn’t it still early?” Xia Wennan said indifferently polite words like an ordinary social person. After speaking, he couldn’t help but want to yawn. Turning his head, he saw Ming Luchuan beside him, so he covered his face in his arms so that the yawn could be finished.

    Duan Ning said: “It’s getting late, there is still work tomorrow.”

    Ming Qin said: “When you come back this time, I still don’t know what work you are doing?”

    Duan Ning smiled: “I’m taking a set of advertising photos for Moze.”

    After Xia Wennan yawned, he felt even more tired. When he was about to yawn a second time, he heard Duan Ning’s words and subconsciously looked at Ming Qin.

    Ming Qin still had a smile on his face: “Why did you shoot for Moze but not for us Mingyan? Uncle is going to be angry.”

    Xia Wennan thought he might be really unhappy, but his tone and expression were just right, making him look like he was just joking.

    Duan Ning was also calm and said with a smile, “Because Mingyan didn’t invite me.”

    Ming Qin immediately looked at Ming Luchuan: “Boss, that’s what’s wrong with you. Obviously you and the big photographer are childhood sweethearts, how can you let others get ahead?”

    Ming Luchuan calmly replied, “Let Xu Feng arrange it tomorrow.”

    Duan Ning smiled: “My price is very fair.”

    Duan Ning was the only guest tonight. He drove by himself, and insisted that he did not drink alcohol and had 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.

      Leading to the corner of the corridor, I saw a metal wheelchair that fell to the ground and Ming Sichen sitting on the ground wearing light pajamas.

    Xia Wennan immediately wanted to go over to help Ming Sichen up, but someone faster than him was Lu Huaiye who had just come out of the bathroom.

    Ming Sichen fell to the ground at the door of the bathroom. Lu Huaiye saw him as soon as he opened the door. The tall Alpha squatted down without saying a word, first picked up Ming Sichen, then grabbed the handle of the wheelchair with the hand holding Ming Sichen’s leg, and lifted it up easily.

    Xia Wennan wanted to help, he took two steps, Lu Huaiye had put Ming Sichen back in the wheelchair, so he slowed down and approached them.

    Lu Huaiye noticed Xia Wennan, nodded at him, and said to Ming Sichen, “Why are you alone outside so late?”

    Ming Sichen naturally wouldn’t answer, he lowered 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, can I trouble you to send Sichen back to the room.”

    Xia Wennan did not expect that Lu Huaiye would suddenly make this request, and was a little surprised, but replied, “Oh, okay.”

    Lu Huaiye didn’t help Ming Sichen’s wheelchair, but passed by 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, the adjoining room only separated by a door is Aunt Zhang’s bedroom, although the door is closed, Xia Wennan still hears Aunt Zhang’s snoring.

    He kept pushing Ming Sichen to the bedside, hesitantly asked, “Do you need me to help you get into bed?”

    Ming Sichen did not answer.

    Looking at him like that, Xia Wennan couldn’t bear to turn around and walk away, reaching out to pick up Ming Sichen from the wheelchair like Lu Huaiye did.

    In the end, Ming Sichen seemed to have lost a handful of bones, but he was still much heavier than Xia Wennan had imagined. Xia Wennan gritted his teeth, and forced Ming Sichen to pick him up and put him on the bed. Then, panting slightly, he backed away and said, “Go to sleep, I’ll go first.”

    Ming Sichen was lying on her back on the bed, her eyes opened and she suddenly made a very soft voice: “Xia Wennan.”

    Xia Wennan’s heart jumped a few times and said, “Good night.” He hurriedly left Ming Sichen’s room, and he didn’t forget to turn off the lights and the door when he went out.
