Chapter 143 The Butterfly Transformation 46

Having said that, Wen Xiao knew in his heart that he could not do this before: even when he misses Xia Jue the most but cannot meet him now, what he feels is a kind of soft concern, not bitterness and nothingness.

Probably as Wen Ru said, because they have all grown up.Wen Xiao is no longer in a cocoon like before, Xia Jue is more and more confident, and feels more and more secure in her heart.

Two people who are always learning from each other may dry up one after another.But they are not.They each have independent, increasingly fulfilling lives.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Xiao and Wen Rushi were in front of the computer, sending a video greeting to their aunt and two uncles who lived far away overseas.

The elders on Fang Qinxin's side were generally open-minded. They accidentally caught a glimpse of Xia Jue passing behind Wen Xiao, and roughly guessed their relationship, insisting that they wanted to give Xia Jue a red envelope.Xia Jue was very embarrassed, so she sat down and said hello to them one by one.

He has a kind of natural cuteness that Wen Rushi and Wen Xiao don't have, and a bit of childishness that is just right and unknowingly.The elders liked this set the most, and they liked him so much that even the red envelopes they brought with Wen's siblings were twice as thick as in previous years.

"We are really in Xiaoxia's favor." Wen Rushi half-jokingly said when he saw the transfer message on his phone.

Xia Jue blushed, still hesitating whether to accept it or not.Wen Xiao leaned over from the side and quickly pressed the "Confirm Payment" button on the screen for him.

"Accept it, I will change my mind in the future." Wen Xiao said.

In a daze, Xia Jue suddenly had many relatives in the new year.What was once dreamed of, now seems to be easily realized.

On the fourth day of the new year, Wen Xiao accompanied Xia Jue back to Chang County.

Xia Jue has been taken care of by many Xu Chengkai's family, so no matter where he is, he will definitely take time to visit every holiday.Wen Xiao didn't have much contact with that family, and felt that if he went with him, he would be too much like a loafer, so he simply went for a stroll in the county town by himself.

Right now is the Spring Festival holiday, the county has not yet returned to its usual bustle, and the shops are basically half open and half closed.Wen Xiao came out of a restaurant after dinner, and came across a mother and son quarreling on the street: a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, barking his teeth and flaming his paws, arguing for the woman to buy him another pair of basketball shoes, and throwing away the already bought ones. Throw it hard on the ground.

The woman was carrying big and small bags, and seemed helpless in a hurry.The shoebox that fell on the ground fell apart, and the lid flew all the way to Wen Xiao's feet.

Wen Xiao subconsciously bent down to pick it up, wanting to help tidy it up again.

"Hey, what are you doing!" The woman suspected that Wen Xiao was going to grab something, and called out vigilantly.

Wen Xiao paused, got up and walked away calmly.

"Stupid! " The boy cursed at Wen Xiao's back, and then his eyes fell on Wen Xiao's feet, his eyes lit up, "Hey, these shoes—Mom, this is the pair, I want these!"

"Shen Yurui!" The woman shouted angrily.

Not to be outdone, the boy yelled, "Shi Yuehong!"

When Wen Xiao heard the latter, his heart skipped a beat.

He always felt that the name "Shi Yuehong" was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before, and was about to look back when the cell phone in his pocket rang suddenly.

"Wen Xiao," Xia Jue's brisk voice came over as soon as the phone was connected, "Where are you? My side is fine, I'll go find you right away."

Wen Xiao looked towards the front door of the shopping mall and reported the location to Xia Jue. When he turned around again, the mother and son had already walked away cursing, and words such as "technical school" and "repeat" were vaguely heard in the wind.

Two strangers, a seemingly insignificant episode, vaguely brought Wen Xiao an indescribable strange feeling.But this feeling was fleeting, and he didn't take it too seriously.

More than ten minutes later, Xia Jue came over by taxi and hurriedly met him.

"In such a hurry?" Wen Xiao said in surprise, and used his fingers to help Xia Jue straighten her wind-blown hair.He knew that Xia Jue was usually not willing to take a taxi, and it didn't take long to get here by bus.

Xia Jue stood still, let him touch her head obediently, and said, "I don't want you to be alone."

"What does it matter?" Wen Xiao smiled when he heard it, "Firstly, I won't get lost, and secondly, no one can abduct me, except——"

"Except who?" Xia Jue asked strangely.

Wen Xiao didn't answer directly, but lightly pinched the tip of Xia Jue's nose which was slightly red from the cold.

Xia Jue immediately understood, wanted to say something, opened her mouth and sneezed.Wen Xiao took his cool hand and put it in his warm pocket.

After that, the two stayed in Chang County for three days.

During the period, they were invited to visit Li Rui's new security company, and happened to pass by the old community where Tao Tao's family was on the way.Speaking of which, Tao Tao's family seemed to have moved away last year, and there has been no news since then, but the silver jewelry online store is still in operation, and the situation should be fine.

Three days later, Wen Xiao and Xia Jue returned to Juzhou, and they will return to school in half a month.

Winter vacation is always too short.

In fact, not only the winter vacation, but even the whole semester, or the school year, seems to be only a blink of an eye.Wen Xiao is sometimes not sure if it is his own illusion, as if time is passing faster and faster, it may be because his life has finally been smooth and flat after experiencing all kinds of ups and downs and scars.

In late March after school started, Wen Xiao went to Nanchang to celebrate Xia Jue's 21st birthday, and met the members of Xia Jue's aircraft model team for the first time.

The digital model team has at most three people, but the aircraft model team is a lively group of more than ten people.Everyone is like-minded and gets along well, and they are all convinced by Xia Jue, the captain with excellent ability and good personality, and plan to celebrate Xia Jue's birthday together - Xia Jue said this on the phone, and Wen Xiao agreed.

Xia Jue's roommate was also invited to the dinner.Wen Xiao booked a restaurant online, only to find out when he got there that the restaurant had recently contracted for a wedding event, and the entire interior was decorated with romantic and festive decorations.

The result was a good birthday party for Xia Jue, which actually created the atmosphere of a wedding banquet.In particular, he and Wen Xiao sat together as they should, with their heads unconsciously moving closer from time to time, very close to each other.Qi Mo quietly took a photo of them together, the effect was so subtle that it could almost be taken directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau for registration.

The dinner party lasted until 08:30 in the evening.During the dinner, Xia Jue was very excited, drank too much wine, and when Wen Xiao helped her back to the hotel, she sat by the bed, her face was still flushed, and her eyes were straight.

Wen Xiao opened the yogurt he bought on the road and handed it to him.

Affected by the alcohol, Xia Jue's reaction was a little slow, but she was still very obedient, took it and slowly squeezed the straw.

Wen Xiao poured himself a glass of water and stared at him while drinking, suspecting that he would accidentally choke on his blank look.

Fortunately not, but unfortunately not, otherwise Wen Xiao would take the opportunity to say a few words about him, how could he let himself drink like this.

After a while, the yogurt box was empty, and Xia Jue shook her head, seemingly regaining consciousness.

"Dizziness?" Wen Xiao frowned, put down his water glass and got up, "I think we still need to buy anti-alcoholic medicine."

Xia Jue's reaction was extremely quick, she grabbed Wen Xiao's shirt by the hem and said, "I don't get drunk so easily."

Wen Xiao asked: "Then who was the one who couldn't walk steadily just now?"

"That's just me being careless..." Xia Jue muttered.

As he spoke, he still held Wen Xiao tightly, with such great force that he crumpled the corners of Wen Xiao's clothes into a ball.Wen Xiao felt that he should be drunk.

"Drunk people will be careless." Wen Xiao said lightly.

Xia Jue still stubbornly retorted: "I'm not drunk."

The people around Wen Xiao didn't drink too much before, so he didn't know that one of the most troublesome things in the world was arguing with drunks.Seeing that more than ten minutes had passed, they were still sitting side by side on the bed, struggling with this topic.

"You're just drunk." Wen Xiao reiterated this fact for an unknown number of times.

Xia Jue didn't know how many times she retorted: "I didn't."

At the same time, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes wandered, and his whole body exuded a sweet drunkenness, like a mellow ripe fruit in autumn.

Looking at him like this, Wen Xiao didn't feel annoyed at all, and was still very patiently preparing to say it again: "You..."

"It's you," Xia Jue added inexplicably, "Wen Xiao, I saw you drinking too. Are you okay?"

Wen Xiao was taken aback.

"Wen Xiao?" Xia Jue called his name again.

Wen Xiao responded, "I'm fine."

"That's good," Xia Jue nodded ignorantly, "Don't think about it any more. You have done nothing wrong, and I love you so much."

These words came without beginning or end, but Wen Xiao immediately understood: During the graduation trip after the college entrance examination the year before last, he lost control of his emotions after drinking on Gulangyu Island, and said some irrelevant and self-defeating words.Xia Jue was afraid that this situation would happen again if he drank a little wine this time.

"I know," Wen Xiao replied in a slow voice, "Xia Jue, I love you too."

Xia Jue looked at him, smiled a little shyly, tilted her head, and leaned on his shoulder contentedly.

Wen Xiao hugged Xia Jue, and gradually felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart, mixed with sour and sweet.He thought those things were over, but Xia Jue remembered everything and was always worried about him.

That's right, Xia Jue is always like this, and so is he.They always care about each other involuntarily.

"Don't worry, I won't do that again." Wen Xiao said softly, tightening his arms around Xia Jue.

Xia Jue let out a "hmm" and rubbed her face against the side of Wen Xiao's neck.

At close range, the smell of alcohol is like soft and entangled water plants, leaking from Xia Jue's mouth and nose.Wen Xiao soon felt that he was getting hot, and couldn't help lowering his head to kiss Xia Jue's forehead.

"I'm really not drunk." Xia Jue suddenly raised her head and repeated.

Wen Xiao paused, and looked at him quietly.

"...You don't believe me." Xia Jue waited for a long time, her tone gradually aggrieved.

Wen Xiao then said: "It seems that there is a way to prove whether you are drunk or not. You should have heard of it."

"What?" Xia Jue's eyes were blank.

Wen Xiao said: "Drunk people are hard/can't get up."

After hearing this, Xia Jue stared blankly at Wen Xiao, seemingly thinking about the feasibility of this method.After a few minutes or so, he decided to take action and tried to unbuckle his own belt.

They both woke up late the next morning.Xia Jue felt a headache when she opened her eyes, and her whole body was sore like a frame falling apart.

He groaned in distress and stood up slowly.Wen Xiao also just finished washing up, eating the toast bought last night at the table, and said, "Now I know it's uncomfortable? Yesterday was too much to count, and I drank so much."

These words were like a spell, and Xia Jue suddenly recalled what happened last night, and immediately had an urge to get back under the covers and hide.

"I'm so happy." He defended himself softly.

——After all, this was the first time in his memory that he had so many friends and held such a big birthday party.

Wen Xiao glanced at him when he heard the words: "Otherwise you think why I didn't stop you."

It was only then that Xia Jue realized that Wen Xiao had already discovered his mood, so the extremely jealous person was willing to give up the two-person world instead of objecting to his birthday party.

"Wen Xiao..." Xia Jue couldn't help calling out.

Hearing his soft tone, Wen Xiao felt that he was being coquettish again, endured it for a while, but still had no choice but to put down the breakfast in hand, and went over to massage his temples and numb muscles all over his body.
