Chapter 65 (1/2)
Chen Kexin caught up with Yi Duanfang. Wang Weixi opened his sleepy eyes in the car and did not see Chen Kexin and Yi Duanfang. It was strange that Chen Keren’s voice was already ringing in his ear. “The two of them went to the supermarket to buy water.”
Wang Weixi nodded, and the whole car was silent. “Oh, Keren, I have a question for you.” All of a sudden, Wang Weixi said a bit gravely.
Chen Keren raised her eyebrows and waited for him to continue.
“Tell me, Lan Xiao… do you like him?”
“No.” Almost without hesitation, Chen Keren replied directly. In fact, she knew what Wang Weixi wanted to ask. She knew that what she had done was really too much, but she had always been so hopeful. It was just, now that she saw Chen Kexin looking sad, she felt a little sorry.
Wang Weixi nodded. He didn’t look at Chen Keren’s expression, because he knew that his sister-in-law must be expressionless. There was another silence in the car. Wang Weixi was wondering if he should put in a good word for Yi Duanfang, but he was afraid there was really nothing between them. Chen Keren was waiting for Wang Weixi to ask her. She waited for a long time but Wang Weixi did not speak again.
Thinking that Chen Kexin might come back soon, Wang Weixi just said a short sentence. “I was just worried that you would sacrifice your happiness for her, so I asked. I didn’t mean anything else.”
Chen Keren’s expression was blank for a moment and then suddenly understood what Wang Weixi meant. She nodded and gave a soft “hum” in response, but her heart was full of mixed feelings.
Yes, she may have really liked that excellent man, but this feeling had long since vanished. With her mother’s death, her feelings for Lan Xiao was strangled in the cradle before she knew what love was.
Chen Kexin and Yi Duanfang came back. They each had two bottles of water in their hands. Chen Kexin handed Wang Weixi a bottle and Yi Duanfang handed Chen Keren a bottle. Wang Weixi suddenly felt that this kind of picture was really beautiful.
“It’s open, you can drink it,” Yi Duanfang said a bit awkwardly.
Chen Keren paused just as she was reaching for the water, then said lightly, “Thank you.” She then began to drink the water. Wang Weixi opened the water for Chen Kexin. The two looked at each other and laughed with ridicule.
In fact, Yi Duanfang was also puzzled. Since when did he get along with Chen Keren so well? It happened that she didn’t feel at all, but he was nervous here. Hearing laughter from the back seat, Yi Duanfang found the “root” of his embarrassment. Naturally, it was his unscrupulous Wang Weixi and damn Chen Kexin.
He turned mercilessly and stared at the two people. They finally stopped their ambiguous laughter.
Chen Keren didn’t seem to notice this from beginning to end and started driving after drinking water.
Having finally woken up, Chen Kexin was no longer sleepy. She took Wang Weixi’s arm and looked out of the window quietly.
Somehow, she suddenly wanted to visit her mother’s grave.
Looking at the vast fields outside, Wang Weixi said with some emotion, “I didn’t expect there was such a place here.” Wang Weixi originally thought that there was no land except scenic spots in A City, which was full of high-rise buildings. He remembered when he first came here, he still missed the smell of the soil in his hometown. During the years of fighting outside, he seemed to have forgotten the taste of his hometown.
Yi Duanfang rolled his eyes and said, “I knew you didn’t know where Jiu Zhou is.” This road was the only way to get to Jiu Zhou. Hence, as long as people learned about Jiu Zhou, they almost knew that there was a field on this road. It was said that this field was bought by a very rich man, but for so many years, he had not built anything on this land.
Nobody knew whether he didn’t think well or whether he wanted to leave a different view for the busy city people.
Wang Weixi smiled without saying a word. Of course, he didn’t know where Jiu Zhou was. He never cared about what was in A city. He only cared about what needed attention. This was his thought and practice.
