"The mountain roads on the top of the mountain are complicated. Even if someone comes to find you, I can take you away immediately." This was the longest sentence Wu Jiang said to her. There was still no tone of voice. He was just stating a fact to her.
"Um."
Wen Xi nodded, even if there was still a certain position in his body, Wu Jiang's words were enough to overcome everything.
She relaxed, didn't think about anything, and sat quietly.
She didn't even dare to dream about the time the two of them spent alone together. It was the most expensive luxury for her.
Soon, Wu Jiang had boiled water and cooked two portions of instant noodles.
"Eat noodles."
Wu Jiang handed the bowl to her, and Wen Xi took it flattered. When their fingertips touched, Wu Jiang's hand froze, and his reaction was no longer as quick as before.
A blush appeared on Wen Xi's face, which felt inexplicably hot.
Wu Jiang retracted his hand, and Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, unable to ignore the loss in his heart.
The taste of the noodles is very bland, just like when I was a child. He said that girls should not eat spicy food, as it will cause acne and make them unattractive.
…
She still clearly remembers many of the words he said.
Wenxi sat at the entrance of the tent, holding a bowl of noodles and eating noodles. The white heat hit his face, and the light of the bonfire warmed up this cold New Year's Day night.
It doesn't seem that cold anymore at the top of the mountain.
"Brother Jiang, come and sit down. I'm tired from squatting."
Wen Xi put down the bowl, took a pillow to cushion it next to him, and motioned for Wu Jiang to sit at the entrance of the tent.
Wu Jiang was sitting in front of him. Hearing this, he turned to look at the position next to her. The face reflected in the firelight had no emotion. When he turned around, the strangeness in his eyes flashed away.
Why on earth did he agree to accompany her to fool around?!
Who are they now? Brothers and sisters? Cheating couple?! When did Wujiang become a third party?!
…
Wen Xi's eyes gradually dimmed, he would not come over.
Wenxi silently picked up the bowl and started eating noodles again without saying anything else. She was afraid that if she talked too much, he would run away, and he would leave again.
Just like that night that year, he left the Wen family and never came back.
That night, when she came to her senses, she ran to find him. She ran around alone, but it was like falling into a bottomless whirlpool. She couldn't find him, let alone catch him...
She was left behind.
No, she made Wu Jiang angry. She made the man who loved her the most in the world angry.
…
There was a sudden heaviness next to her, and Wu Jiang sat next to her. The tent was not big to begin with, but the two of them squeezed in at the door, and instantly they became close to each other, with their bodies touching each other.
The distance was so close that he could smell her sweet fragrance.
Wu Jiang was about to stand up and glanced across her eyes. Wen Xi was holding a bowl of noodles and smiling at him, his eyes shining like stars.
He suddenly couldn't move any further.
Wu Jiang sat stiffly, lowered his head and ate the noodles without looking at her.
A pair of chopsticks came into his sight, and a few slices of meat, some shredded carrots, and green onions were picked into his bowl.
Wu Jiang raised his eyes, but Wen Xi was still picking, patiently picking out bits and pieces of chopped green onions and putting them into his bowl, leaving only a bowl of white noodles in his bowl...
"..."
Wu Jiang stared at the pile of extra side dishes in the bowl without saying a word, but his eyes dimmed and the hand holding the bowl became stronger.
"My habits haven't changed."
Wen Xi explained himself.
Since she was a child, she has liked to eat noodles only and does not like extra side dishes.
