as gentle as you

Chapter 80

It's been two months since school started, Xiao Yihan originally planned to visit Wen Yiran's mother after school started, but he couldn't make it right when he got busy, and he has not been able to go until now.

Because Xiao Yihan was busy, Wen Yiran didn't take the initiative to contact her.One is that she is afraid of disturbing her work, and the other is that she still doesn't know what Xiao Yihan's attitude towards her and Ling Fei is.As long as she doesn't get in touch and doesn't mention it, she can continue to deceive herself.

On this day, Wen Yiran was writing lesson preparation materials when Xiao Yihan received a voice call.Since they met that day, the two haven't seen each other, and the contact is also through WeChat typing. This is the first voice call.

What will happen when Xiao Yihan calls?Wen Yiran was actually not sure what was going on with her. Did she already think about her attitude towards herself and Ling Fei that afternoon?

After the bell rang several times, Wen Yiran finally bit the bullet and pressed the green answer button.

"Yiran, were you busy just now?" Xiao Yihan asked first.

"It's a little bit, I was discussing lesson preparation materials with my colleagues just now." Wen Yiran made a fuss casually.

"Oh, that's it. Let me make a long story short. I'm going to visit Aunt Wen at your house this weekend, and I'll let you know in advance. "

Xiao Yihan's voice was as flat as ever, Wen Yiran was relieved now. "Okay, I see. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up..."

"Wen Yiran." Xiao Yihan called out her name.

"What's the matter, what else?"

Xiao Yihan was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Forget it, I'll talk to you when we meet, it's not a big deal." After finishing speaking, she hung up.

Wen Yiran originally wanted to call and ask, but felt that it was impossible for Xiao Yihan to speak, so he gave up, and it would not be too late to find out when we met.

Soon the weekend came, Wen Yiran came back on the first Friday night, just because Xiao Yihan was coming on the weekend.

Wen Yiran was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, when he heard the doorbell and wanted to open the door, Mother Wen had already opened the door before her.

"Aunt Wen." Xiao Yihan smiled at Mother Wen, walked to the living room and put down the visiting gifts that he brought for Mother Wen and Wen Yiran as usual.

Mother Wen welcomed her into the door, and said helplessly: "Oh, Yihan, how many times have I told you not to bring anything, but you still bring it every time, why are you so polite with your Aunt Wen!"

"It should be Aunt Wen." Xiao Yihan walked into the kitchen and saw Wen Yiran wearing an apron washing vegetables.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Wen Yiran knew that it was her who came, and he didn't stop what he was doing.After a while, Wen Yiran asked, "How are you doing recently?"

"Well, it's pretty good." Xiao Yihan forced a smile from the corner of his mouth.

In fact, she hadn't had a good time at all during this time.Ever since he knew that Wen Yiran liked Ling Fei, and that they were already together, Xiao Yihan buried himself in his work every day, trying to use this to forget Wen Yiran and everything about her.But in her spare time, she still couldn't help sending her condolence text messages. After all, she was afraid that she would really forget her existence.Even if it's just when he thinks of his best friend, at least Wen Yiran can think of himself first, that's enough.

"That's good." Wen Yiran didn't know what her attitude towards her relationship with Ling Fei was, and she was also absent-minded when talking to her.Caught off guard, she accidentally got scalded when she picked up the lid of the pot.

Hearing her low cry, Xiao Yihan immediately stepped forward and asked nervously: "What's wrong? Are your hands burned?"

Mother Wen also came in at this time, and saw that Wen Yiran's hand was scalded, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "You two, don't make trouble in the kitchen, Yihan, take Yiran to get some scalding medicine quickly."

Xiao Yihan came to the living room with ease, took out the medicine box from the drawer of the TV cabinet, and put it on the coffee table to find the burn ointment from it.

Wen Yiran followed her and sat down on the sofa, stretching out his burned right hand.

"Why are you so careless?" Xiao Yihan asked her while applying.

"It's a small injury, it's not a problem." Wen Yiran said.

Xiao Yihan sighed, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and turned her head only when the rumbling sound of the range hood inside came out.

"Yiran, Aunt Wen called me two days ago and asked if you were in a relationship."

Wen Yiran was startled, and guessed that her mother might have noticed it when she was talking to her when she went home last weekend.

She kept her face calm and asked carefully: "Then you..."

"I didn't tell her. I think it's better for you to tell your mother about this. I respect your choice." Xiao Yihan put the ointment into the medicine box and said.

"Thank you, Yihan." Wen Yiran's tone was very sincere, and she could finally rest assured that her good friend was in the same camp as her.

Xiao Yihan put the medicine box back into the drawer, sat down and asked, "Then when are you going to tell your mother?"

"I... I don't know." Wen Yiran subconsciously looked away and looked into the distance.In fact, she is very afraid of facing this problem. She is afraid that the nightmare she dreamed back at midnight will actually appear in reality. When facing this problem, the biggest price is losing Ling Fei.

Xiao Yihan could also understand why she didn't want to face this question, so he didn't continue to ask her, but said: "At least wait until Ling Fei becomes an adult and becomes independent."

Wen Yiran didn't speak, and made a breathy sound from his mouth, which was regarded as acquiescing to her words.

Xiao Yihan couldn't stand the rare serious atmosphere between the two of them, so he chatted with Wen Yiran about work.After a while, Mother Wen came out of the kitchen and said that dinner was ready.

The three of them got together very rarely. Mother Wen was very happy today and brought out the good red wine stored earlier at home.

Mother Wen said while pouring the wine: "Yihan, this is a good wine that Yiran's father bought when she was alive. Try it too."

"Aunt Wen, you are too polite, you should keep this good wine for yourself." Xiao Yihan lowered his head and took a sip, and couldn't help admiring, "This red wine tastes really good, it is indeed good wine."

Mother Wen also sat down, and the three of them started chatting.Xiao Yihan had just been promoted after the new year, and since he hadn't seen her for such a long time, the topic of mother Wen's conversation was inseparable from work.Xiao Yihan has always been talkative, and chatted with Wen's mother in full swing, you come and go, and Wen Yiran was not a talkative person, because of Ling Fei's matter, he felt guilty for his mother, and he was a little lost in thought, so he talked even less. When I asked her, I only answered a few words.

After asking about work, since Wen Yiran and Xiao Yihan didn't have a family yet, and Xiao Yihan was one year older than her daughter, Mother Wen inevitably cared about her love life.

"Yihan, how is your relationship with the boy I introduced to you last time?" Compared to Wen Yiran, Xiao Yihan's relationship experience is even less.According to Wen Yiran, Xiao Yihan has never had a boyfriend since the person he talked to in college broke up.The Wen family and the Xiao family have always been on good terms, and Xiao Yihan is also half of Mother Wen's daughter, so Mother Wen is also very worried about her marriage.Two weeks ago, Mother Wen found out from Aunt Liu in the community that she had a son from a distant relative who was in good condition, so she helped Xiao Yihan lead the way.

Xiao Yihan said apologetically: "Aunt Wen, I added that person's WeChat on the same day, maybe the two of us have different majors. When I chat with him, I always feel that the words are not speculative." So, in fact, she had no contact at all.

Mother Wen realized that what she said inside and outside the words was inappropriate, so she didn't force her, and said gently, "Oh, well, I'll introduce you to a better one later."

After talking about Xiao Yihan, Mother Wen turned her head to look at Wen Yiran, sighed and said, "You two haven't made any progress yet, so it's really worrying."

"Mom, I'm in no hurry..."

"Not in a hurry? You'll be 28 next year. If you can't get married at 30, I'll see what you can do..."

Seeing that the two were going to be deadlocked, Xiao Yihan hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Aunt Wen, Yiran doesn't know what to look for, so why don't you tell me about your son-in-law's standards?"

Wen Yiran couldn't help but pause the hand holding the vegetables, and looked in Xiao Yihan's direction, the latter gave her a reassuring look.

Only then did Wen Yiran understand Xiao Yihan's intentions.

Mother Wen smiled and said: "My requirements are not high. It's not that I have to have the same occupation as Yiran, but Yiran's conditions are not bad. In addition to the man's good looks, he must at least have a stable job and a set of skills. The house, preferably one or two years older than Yiran, can take care of Yiran."

"Hahaha, Aunt Wen, you still said that your requirements are not too high, and they are all so limited. Except for boys, can't you be girls?" Xiao Yihan seemed to be talking quickly, and said haha ​​by the way.

Wen Yiran's heart was subconsciously pulled into a ball, and the hands under the dining table were unconsciously clenched.She held her breath and stared closely at her mother's face.

Mother Wen's face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, her brows were furrowed, and her expression was obviously solemn.

Wen Yiran's heart sank immediately, and it was completely cold.

Seeing this, Xiao Yihan quickly changed the topic, as if he was just joking: "Aunt Wen, I suddenly remembered that there seems to be a male colleague among my colleagues who meets your standards. Let's get together and let them chat first."

Mother Wen's brows finally relaxed.Seeing that Xiao Yihan just said it casually, he felt relieved and thanked: "Thank you so much, Yihan."

Then the three chatted about other things casually, and the meal was over.Wen Yiran was immediately relieved, she had never thought that eating was difficult, but today's meal made her feel like chewing wax, and her heart was in a mess.

After dinner, Xiao Yihan insisted on leaving on the pretext of having something to do, so Wen Yiran went to see her off.

The distance from Wen's mother's house to the parking lot is only 200 meters, and it is a short walk.Seeing that Wen Yiran was going to send herself directly to the parking lot, Xiao Yihan grabbed her sleeve: "Let's chat for a while."

Wen Yiran nodded, and walked side by side with her to sit in the small gazebo in the area with fitness equipment in the community.

"Yihan, thank you." Wen Yiran thanked her again.Thank you, she didn't say, because we both know each other.

Xiao Yihan suppressed his dark and turbulent love and glanced at Wen Yiran, then turned his gaze away, sighed, and said helplessly: "Yiran, just now I have tested Aunt Wen's attitude towards girls you might like, you I also saw her attitude, she will never agree with you liking girls, let alone a female student who is ten years younger than you."

Wen Yiran looked at the elderly who were exercising and the children laughing and playing in the park in the distance, and remained silent without answering.The mother is from the last century, so how could she not know her mother's conservativeness.She can frankly admit her sexual orientation to Xiao Yihan, but she absolutely dare not tell her mother.Although her mother didn't say anything, she knew that since she came out of that incident, her mother always wanted to find a boyfriend and get married as soon as possible.

At this time, it was evening, and the weather was getting cooler. After the sun set, the slight heat on the ground had already faded away.Wen Yi didn't know if he was wearing thin clothes, but Wen Yi suddenly felt a little cold.Xiao Yihan grabbed her arm, looked straight at her, frowned and asked earnestly: "Wen Yiran, it's too late to let go now, obviously, you have other better choices, don't you? Ling Fei, she is just so good, Are you always going to have to rely on her?"
