Six o’clock in the afternoon was when the last class at B University ended.

When Wen Siheng met Wen Shaozhuo at the agreed location, the twin brother who had been so desperate he almost shed tears upon arrival now actually had a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Even his steps were much lighter.

Seeing him, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he shouted: “Brother Ah Heng!”

Wen Siheng knew at a glance: “How was it? I said as long as Ah Shao changed to a different course, the feeling of attending class would be completely different!”

More than different?

Wen Shaozhuo recalled the feeling of attending class at the Art Academy just now—

From childhood to adulthood, he always thought that no matter what class he attended, the feeling should be suffocating.

Like having his head pressed into the deep sea, from the first second entering the classroom until the last second the class ended, it should be oppressive, suffocating, fearful, and uneasy.

But today?

From the moment he stepped into the Art Academy teaching building confusedly and uneasily in the morning and casually found a classroom to audit.

He suddenly discovered—

It turned out the content the teacher spoke about could really be listened to and remembered so smoothly and naturally;

It turned out the air in the classroom could allow people to breathe;

It turned out the classroom didn’t have to be the deep sea; it could be normal land.

Three days ago, he was taken out of the hospital by his father.

From the day he entered the hospital, Dad and Mom paid close attention to his movements. In the hospital and after returning home, Dad and Mom wouldn’t let him go out alone anymore, and “dangerous zones” like the kitchen were directly closed to him.

This made him unable to find a knife if he wanted one, unable to go to the rooftop if he wanted to.

Life and death, at this moment, became things he couldn’t control.

Wen Shaozhuo once thought he had to make at least one of them something he could control.

Today was supposed to be a very good opportunity.

Brother Ah Heng sent him to the bottom of the teaching building, then left for his class. He originally could have had several hours of complete freedom to do anything he wanted, and he indeed went up to the teaching building’s rooftop first before heading to the classroom.

But when he sat on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the Finance Academy teaching building and thinking of Brother Ah Heng sitting inside.

Wen Shaozhuo couldn’t help thinking, if he jumped down, how Brother Ah Heng, who brought him out, would be beaten and scolded by Dad and Mom after returning home.

…How could that work?

Wen Shaozhuo would always recall many things.

For example, the breathing space Brother Ah Heng fought for him in the two days home.

For example, the gentle, patient, and affectionate gaze Brother Ah Heng sometimes cast on him.

He always felt he was terrible, with nothing worthy of Brother Ah Heng’s liking.

But…

Brother Ah Heng himself said he liked his paintings, said he didn’t think he was stupid. Brother Ah Heng was always telling him he actually wasn’t that bad.

Could it be a lie?

Wen Shaozhuo didn’t know.

But he thought, Brother Ah Heng was so excited about his idea today. If he failed to cooperate well with Brother, Brother Ah Heng would be very disappointed, right?

…Brother Ah Heng is a very good person.

He didn’t want to make Brother Ah Heng that disappointed.

So, he left the rooftop.

Climbing the rooftop wasn’t an impulsive thought; he had wanted to do this for a long time.

Thinking day and night, tossing and turning.

But after he walked down from the rooftop and audited two classes as Brother Ah Heng expected. Until the afternoon dismissal bell rang and he left the Art Academy teaching building, the thought of “climbing the rooftop” never appeared again.

…As if he found some reason not to go to the rooftop.

Although this reason came so suddenly.

Although this reason looked very thin.

But…

Wen Shaozhuo thought, he really hated death.

Wen Shaozhuo didn’t tell Brother Ah Heng these things.

He just whispered to Brother Ah Heng: “Yes, Brother Ah Heng. I feel… not bad.”

He tried hard to describe the relaxed feeling during class to Brother Ah Heng.

Brother Ah Heng was happy for him: “Looks like this is indeed a good method! What do you think, Ah Shao? If you also like it, we’ll do this again next time!”

When Brother Ah Heng smiled, the smile reached his eyes.

Brother Ah Heng was genuinely happy for him.

Wen Shaozhuo asked softly: “Then, Brother, will you like attending my class?”

Brother Ah Heng smiled triumphantly: “Don’t mention it, I found finance really interesting! Anyway, Dad and Mom haven’t urged us back yet. Why don’t we walk around outside. Just right I’ll tell you what was covered in class today. If we go home later and Dad and Mom ask, you answer according to what I say, definitely no problem.”

Brother Ah Heng just took his hand like this, leading him for a walk on the school path.

They strolled from inside the school to outside, then to the prosperous commercial street he never set foot in.

The scenery along the way was so unfamiliar to him.

And he had always resisted going to unfamiliar places.

However, when Brother Ah Heng was leading him by his side, everything seemed different.

He followed quietly beside Brother Ah Heng.

Listening to Brother Ah Heng say a couple of sentences about the course, chat a couple of sentences about roadside flowers and plants, taking him to eat a couple of bites of barbecue on the commercial street.

Everything, at least today, seemed less disgusting.

Sky completely darkened at some point.

Weather suddenly turned bad at some point.

Strong wind suddenly rose on the street. Wen Siheng hurriedly took Wen Shaozhuo to hide under the nearest eaves to avoid sand and dust.

Before the wind passed, and before the two ran under the eaves, it started raining patteringly.

In the blink of an eye, like someone poured a bucket of water down from the sky, the rain poured like a waterfall, instantly soaking both their shoes and pants.

The feeling of rain soaking shoes was very uncomfortable.

Wen Siheng lowered his head and lifted his foot, water dripping continuously from the sole, extremely distressed: “Tricked by the weather forecast again. Can’t walk at all in such heavy rain!”

Not only couldn’t walk. Wen Siheng looked up at the too-shallow eaves; pouring rain couldn’t be completely blocked at all.

He held Wen Shaozhuo, saying: “Go, along the eaves, hide from the rain in that shop over there!”

They moved quickly against the wall. In the middle, strong wind blew directly, blowing the pouring rain under the eaves.

Wen Siheng and Wen Shaozhuo stood front and back. When wind came, Wen Siheng immediately turned around, pulling his brother in front of him, making him stick to the wall, blocking for him on the outside, spreading arms and clothes to protect, back instantly soaked thoroughly by heavy rain.

Wen Shaozhuo opened his eyes wide: “Brother Ah Heng!”

Wen Siheng acted nonchalant: “It’s fine, nothing big. Walk forward quickly, ahead…”

The Latimasha stopped at this time.

Stopped exactly beside the two young men.

Wen Siheng was urging his brother to move forward quickly. Hearing the engine sound, he subconsciously turned his head to look.

…Mm?

The car window rolled down.

Revealing a pair of quiet and deep black pupils.

The young man’s gaze swept quickly over them, quickly locked onto the target, fixing his gaze firmly on him.

Lin Chen to System, extremely suspicious: “…What are you doing? Where is your warning system? Taking salary without working?”

System was bewildered: “Host, didn’t you forbid me from casually monitoring your past work targets? Also, Host, turns out System has a salary?”

Lin Chen couldn’t be bothered to answer it.

Wen Shaozhuo was startled by this suddenly appearing person.

He subconsciously shrank behind Brother Ah Heng, clutching his hem tightly.

Wen Siheng reacted quickly. He stepped sideways, blocking his brother’s figure completely, glaring vigilantly at the young man in the car.

Wen Siheng spoke proactively: “Hello?”

Cheng Huanzhen stared straight at this young man whose temperament was distinctly different from the local Wen young master at a glance.

…Looking exactly the same.

Twins.

This… can it be faked?

Cheng Huanzhen’s thinking only lasted a second.

The next second his good habit appeared again, skipping this question directly.

He took an umbrella from the car, opened the door, stepped forward to cover the two young men with the umbrella.

Looking at Wen Siheng seriously, said: “Hello, Siheng, I am Cheng Huanzhen from the Cheng family. I was just telling Uncle Wen and Auntie Wen it was a pity not seeing you, didn’t expect to meet here. What a coincidence.”

Then he looked at the original Wen young master hiding behind, greeting politely: “Hello, Shaozhuo, long time no see.”

Wen Shaozhuo wasn’t familiar with Cheng Huanzhen, only hearing his name when parents frequently mentioned “other people’s child”.

At this moment his voice was nervous and thin as a mosquito: “Hello… long time no see.”

Wen Siheng looked at the young man appearing suddenly in front of him vigilantly and confusedly: “Cheng Huanzhen? Hello…? Do we know each other?”

His confused and puzzled look was too realistic.

So much so that Cheng Huanzhen had a moment of doubt and wavering again.

But that was just a moment. He quickly eliminated the problem with the same familiar method.

Cheng Huanzhen answered seriously: “We don’t know each other, Siheng. This is our first meeting.”

He opened the rear door of the car for the two, looked at the sky and said: “Get in first. Tonight’s rain won’t stop for a while, might continue thundering. Not safe outside. I’ll send you back.”

He kept staring at Wen Siheng’s eyes, trying to meet eyes with Uncle.

But Uncle seemed not to know him. Hearing this, he lowered his head to discuss a couple of sentences with Wen Shaozhuo, then looked up smilingly, saying politely to him: “Thank you, Brother Huanzhen, then we won’t be polite.”

Cheng Huanzhen stared at the hand Uncle used to lead Wen Shaozhuo into the car.

Stared at Uncle leaning intimately to whisper to the timid Wen Shaozhuo to comfort him.

Cheng Huanzhen’s lips pursed slightly straight.

Mood a bit unhappy.

Uncle pretended not to know him.

Didn’t even give him eye contact.

Didn’t reply to his GreenChat for three days either.

But got along so intimately with the new brother.

Does Uncle treat anyone he becomes family with this well?

Not family anymore, and can pass by like strangers, not even saying hello?

…But even so, isn’t he Uncle’s eldest nephew?

Cheng Huanzhen’s lips pursed completely into a straight line.

He tried hard to endure the whole way.

Tried hard not to let his verbal purpose appear too obvious in front of Wen parents.

But seeing Wen Siheng seemingly really intending to go back into the house with Wen Shaozhuo, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

He called out directly to Wen Siheng: “Siheng, first meeting, want to have tea together?”

Wen Qingcai feared 120 million would cause some “special plan” at this time, hurriedly telling Wen Siheng: “Little Cheng brought you a meeting gift today; I put it in your bedroom.”

System whispered reminder: “Host, I saw it. It’s a gift box from Star Jade Jewelry!”

Star Jade Jewelry.

Little Ji’s musical jewelry.

A set would probably cost six or seven figures.

Lin Chen sighed to System: “He really doesn’t doubt at all once he decides.”

Wen Siheng looked at Cheng Huanzhen in surprise, smiling somewhat embarrassedly: “Oh, of course. I was worried Brother Huanzhen would think it’s too late.”

Seeing this, Wen Dad and Wen Mom immediately had the butler prepare tea for them in the reception room, sending the two in. They worried Cheng Huanzhen might want to continue discussing the project on a whim, so they found an excuse, thoughtfully leaving the reception room for the two alone.

This thoughtfulness played right into Cheng Huanzhen’s hands.

Waiting a whole day, he finally had the chance to pull out the strawberry candies specially brought from his pocket, holding them in both hands, handing all to Uncle.

He called softly: “Uncle.”

Wen Siheng was flattered: “Oh my, Brother Huanzhen, why suddenly give me candy?”

Cheng Huanzhen stared fixedly at him, continuing to call: “Uncle.”

Wen Siheng was extremely puzzled: “Uncle? What Uncle? Do I know him?”

Cheng Huanzhen continued staring at him, calling stubbornly: “Uncle.”

Lin Chen sighed: “Can’t you cooperate with me a bit?”

Cheng Huanzhen felt somewhat aggrieved. He called somewhat unwillingly: “Siheng.”

Lin Chen smiled.

He took all the candies, gave one to Cheng Huanzhen, one to himself, stuffing the rest into his pocket.

He bit open the wrapper, saying: “Didn’t I say, not allowed to probe into my work?”

Cheng Huanzhen: “…”

He said without changing expression: “Uncle, you said not allowed to ask then, didn’t say I couldn’t come find you myself.”

Lin Chen smiled gently: “Playing word games with me?”

Cheng Huanzhen looked at him without flinching.

One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. Four seconds. Five seconds.

Cheng Huanzhen lowered his eyes.

His voice weakened a few degrees, saying dejectedly: “Uncle, you haven’t replied to my GreenChat for three days. I was just… somewhat worried about your safety.”

Lin Chen punctured him mercilessly: “What safety is there to worry about in broad daylight?”

He chuckled lightly, tapping casually on the center of Cheng Huanzhen’s chest: “If you ask me, you are just too clingy. What, what charm do I have to make you abandon work to cling like this?”
