If the world had no daylight

Chapter 136 Be Yourself

Now that the frost has passed, the temperature at night made Bai Tian, ​​who was only wearing simple home clothes, turn pale with cold, and the cold air penetrated from his sleeves, making his body a little stiff from the cold.

But she didn't let go of Ye Wan's hand, letting the cold wind hurt the back of her hand.

At this moment her blood is hot, it has not been this hot for a long time.

The person beside him seemed to cast a glance, Bai Tian didn't look at her, but just stared at the tall man standing inside the door without saying a word.

He is the only relative in this world who is still by her side.

Even if there is no blood relationship between them, even if he was only entrusted by the third uncle to take care of him before he left, even if the two of them have not been as close as real family members these years.

But Bai Tian still cherishes it very much, and has been careful to maintain this family relationship that is thinner than paper for ten years.

But she knew that today would be the end of it.

Bai Tian sucked her nose that was red from the cold, and she didn't feel disappointed when faced with the man's silence. On the way here, she had already thought about his possible reaction, and this situation was not even embarrassing.

She lowered her head, and the warmth of another person came from her tightly clenched palms.

Enough is enough, she was never greedy.

Ye Wan withdrew her gaze, turned her gaze to the person inside the door, and suddenly said, "If I bother you, we'll just..."

The man in the overcoat just looked over, and exhaled white mist with one mouthful, his voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up, but it was very clear and calm: "It's cold outside, come in."

After Ye Wan's words stopped, even Bai Tian raised his head, feeling a little at a loss.

Shi Chen had already turned around and returned to the courtyard, Ye Wan and Bai Tian looked at each other, they had no choice but to step in and close the courtyard door.

The two followed him into the house, and the cold air was enveloped by the temperature in the room and turned into water vapor.

Shi Chen brought up the pear soup that had been simmering on the stove, poured out three small bowls, and handed each of them a bowl.

Bai Tian paused, getting used to his temper, directly brought it over, Ye Wan didn't shy away from being polite, thanked him, and held it in his hand.

Sydney soup is sweet and warm to the stomach, a small bowl will warm up more than half of the cold body, Shi Chen let them sit in the living room, and he also casually drank a bowl, peaceful as if nothing happened.

The more he behaved like this, the more uneasy Bai Tian felt, and repeatedly wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shi Chen's gestures.

Ye Wan didn't understand Shi Chen's character as well as Bai Tian did. She knew that it was late and disturbing him would only delay his rest, so she took the lead and said, "Sorry, we shouldn't bother you so late."

Shi Chen nodded, and replied nonchalantly: "Yes, I have already thrown out what I did last time."

Ye Wan's expression paused, and she suddenly felt that the development of the matter seemed to exceed her expectations.

She didn't know what happened on the way being pulled by Bai Tian, ​​but she already knew it when she arrived at the destination.

But base joy prevailed, and she chose to let it go.

No matter what happens next, she will face it with Bai Tian and bear it together.

But Shi Chen's reaction was too flat, like...

Thinking of this, Ye Wan suddenly asked: "Actually, you already knew about it, didn't you?"

Bai Tian suddenly raised his head to look at her, then turned his head to look at Shi Chen, and got the answer from his uncle's expression.

It's unbelievable, but it seems natural.

So that's the case, Bai Tian looked into his calm eyes, and said rather complicatedly: "Are you arranging my marriage so quickly, and even asking me on purpose, are you actually trying to force me to tell the truth?"

She should have understood earlier that her clumsy concealment was completely vulnerable in the eyes of this person who controlled a group.

Shi Chen didn't care about her approaching questioning tone at the moment, the so-called respect and low profile that juniors should have, are all worthless dead rules to him.

He put down the small bowl in his hand, and replied calmly: "I said, tell me after you think it over. Now that you think it over, that's the end of the matter."

There was no anger, no scolding, not even the slightest possible resentment.

It seems that such an earth-shattering "dirty thing" is not so great in his eyes.

Bai Tian suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake all along.

She opened her mouth and tasted the bitterness in her mouth, but she still asked the question in her heart: "I did such a thing to discredit you, the outside world will always know, don't you care at all?"

It's more than just slander, it's simply a scandal.

Shi Chen rarely showed a puzzled expression. He looked at Bai Tian and asked, "You are you and I am me. The good and bad things I do belong to me. Shouldn't what you do belong to you?"

It sounds like the words of callous indifference.

Bai Tian was stunned.

Ye Wan looked at her and didn't interrupt their conversation at this moment.

Shi Chen suddenly laughed, the smile was not deep, but it came from the heart, naturally.

He stood up slowly, walked in front of Bai Tian in a leisurely manner, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Bai Tian, ​​I will be your guardian to raise you up, and the time and energy I spend is not worth mentioning-no businessman That’s how investing is done.”

If you want something in return, you must first pay.

The little things he gave were just a drop in the ocean to him, and he never thought of recouping profits from the first day.

The short-haired girl raised her head to look at him, her eyes seemed blank.

It was rare that this clever girl would encounter a problem that she could not solve.

Shi Chen doesn't mind helping her correct the formula that was wrong from the beginning.

He continued: "If you want to say what I've been trying to do all these years, it's probably just thinking that your third uncle can die in peace."

When the man said this, his usual calm tone seemed to be so lingering for a tenth of a second.

Bai Tian's vision gradually blurred, but she forgot to wipe it with her hand.

Seeing her like this, Shi Chen sighed, reached out and patted her head lightly.

"Who you are and what you do has nothing to do with me. Whether you are a teacher of the people or a vagrant, I have done my duty and have a clear conscience. As for your third uncle..."

The man with white temples paused, a little light flickered in the depths of his eyes, he twitched the corners of his mouth, withdrew his hand, and finally said: "He has been a cook all his life, and he has envied a scholar all his life. He doesn't want you to eat Uneducated suffering doesn't mean he wants you to live involuntarily."

After the gate of the courtyard was closed, Bai Tian stood with her head bowed for a long time, and Ye Wan was by her side, giving her more time to rebuild her wrong life with silence.

The temperature outside was too low, so Ye Wan took off his coat to wrap her around her, and brought the devastated person back to his home which was closer to here.

Entering the door to change shoes, undressing to take a shower, putting on clothes and blow drying hair, Bai Tian quietly finished everything step by step.She had no intention of communicating with others, and Ye Wan didn't bother her either.

Just before midnight, the two of them huddled together and lay down under the blanket.

The cold bed slowly warmed up due to the body temperature of the two of them. Bai Tian lay on his side with his back to Ye Wan, but couldn't fall asleep with his eyes open.

She knew that Ye Wan didn't sleep either.

"Third Uncle left very suddenly, the day before New Year's Eve." When she spoke, the cold in the bed was no longer so cold.

Ye Wan didn't make a sound, but just reached out and hugged her waist, giving her more warmth.

Bai Tian opened his eyes, his mind was full of old and mottled images from memories, but his voice was unusually calm.

"I wasn't in the hospital that day, and when I got the call back, it was too late. He left without even saying a word to me."

She paused, exhaled hot air, breathed in the cold air, and then continued: "Uncle came to the hospital that night, signed, had a funeral, and my guardianship procedures."

"That's when I found out that Uncle San had written to him a long time ago, asking him to help take care of me until I grow up if no one cares about me in the future."

Ye Wan tightened her arms, silently listening to her past, which she had never participated in.

When Bai Tian talked about these things, he didn't quite remember how he felt at that time. It turned out that it was really easy to forget.

She turned over suddenly, faced Ye Wan, and slowly leaned into his arms to gain more sense of stability.

"Before my third uncle got into a car accident, we always quarreled over my grades. He insisted that I pass the college entrance examination and be a teacher like my parents. At that time, I only wanted to be a cook, and I didn't understand his painstaking efforts."

Bai Tian paused, lowered his head and said, "After he left, I worked hard to get the first place in the exam, entered the best university, and got the highest scholarship every year."

"I thought I had done a good job and I hadn't doubted my choice until yesterday."

Ye Wan's collarbone was soaked in warm liquid, she didn't speak, she just folded her arms and curled up together on this small bed in a hugging posture.

"I thought my uncle would like a good niece, but in fact it was my self-righteousness. I thought that if I followed my third uncle's requirements, he would be satisfied and happy, but it turned out that this matter was also wrong."

Her voice was intermittent, not confused or wronged.

It was an instinctive helplessness in the face of a wrong life.

Ye Wan finally said: "I don't know what Uncle San thinks, but I love you just as much as he loves you."

Bai Tian was startled and stopped.

Ye Wan lowered her head, looked at her raised face, gently wiped away the remaining tears, and smiled softly.

"I just want you to be happy."

A person's life may be long or short, maybe you will leave tomorrow and go to the other side that cannot be reached.

You are holding a return ticket for one person, and that is the only thing you will not lose from life to death.

Come to this world for a trip, taste all kinds of flavors, see all kinds of world situations, there are sufferings and difficulties, but not all sufferings.

Since I will finally set foot on the return station, I don't want to hear you complain about regrets when I see you off. I just hope that when you forget, I will take the trouble to tell you:

"Live and be happy."

"Be yourself."

"As long as you are willing, wherever you look, the whole sky will belong to you."
