58 What is it that pays attention to each other?
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a whole family sat together and chatted, while the younger generation ran around the yard. In the past, Chen Siying hated this time the most, not only greeted relatives who had never met for a year, smiled, but also tried hard to think about how to call each other. Although Qiao Qirui was not the oldest among these juniors, she was the most mature, and couldn't help but divert her attention to her other uncle.
Wan Chukong seemed to notice her gaze and stopped talking and looked over.
Chen Siying was frightened and couldn't help but sit up straight. She picked up the potato chips on the table and stuffed them into her mouth. It was a stimulating smell of familiarity. She looked down at the packaging bag, and the unexpected smell of mustard.
After a while, Wan Chukong came over and said to her, "You are eating my potato chips."
Chen Siying was stunned, subconsciously handed over and honestly returned it to Wan Chukong, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention..."
Wan Chukong did not answer, but observed her for a few seconds, "You are a little abnormal."
Chen Siying pretended to be stupid and said, "Hmm? Is there any, where?"
Wan Chukong sat down next to her and asked her, "Why don't you play with Qiao Qirui and the others?"
Chen Siying: "...I've been adults this year."
Wan Chukong said "Yeah" without saying anything else, Chen Siying couldn't help but say, "In your eyes, am I on the same level as them?"
"No." Wan Chukong said, "Qiao Qirui is your uncle."
Chen Siying: “…………”
She was choked and said nothing. Looking up at the man's side face, the Wan family was very heroic, even herself. Wan Chukong was probably the one who inherited this gene the best. Chen Siying heard from her mother that Wan Chukong's biological father also had a good appearance and was very tall, but unfortunately he was a scumbag.
The family rarely mentions Wan Chukong's biological father, and Chen Siying only heard his grandfather say that if that happened, Wan Chukong shouldn't have become like this.
She had no interest in her uncle's past and had never had an in-depth understanding of what "this" was. Since she talked to Wan Chukong about Qi Ji that time, she suddenly became curious about what happened before. Unfortunately, her parents were unwilling to tell her that she asked her to ask less about her elders on the grounds that she was still young.
This made Chen Siying, who was originally just curious, think that he had to know. One weekend afternoon, he went to visit his grandfather and pulled the old man to ask.
The children outside were still playing, and Chen Siying said, "Uncle, were you just as noisy as them when you were a child?"
Wan Chukong looked at the children running wildly in the yard in the cold winter, "No."
Chen Siying was about to breathe, but Wan Chukong said, "At most, it's just climbing trees and climbing over the wall."
Chen Siying turned her head in an instant: "Do you think this is a big deal?"
Wan Chukong observed the outside of the hospital for a while, "at least he wouldn't throw his clothes flat."
Chen Siying seriously suspected that he was ridiculing.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Siying pursed her lower lip, "Grandpa also said that you were very lively when you were a child, and often caught insects to scare them..."
"Is that true?" Wan Chukong thought for a moment and said calmly, "It's too long and I don't remember it very much."
Chen Siying didn't know where to look, so she took out her phone and clicked on Weibo in habit, and then suddenly remembered something and turned her head quickly.
Wan Chukong: "?"
Chen Siying: "Qiji has followed you, why don't you follow Qiji!"
Wan Chukong had almost forgotten this matter, and of course he couldn't tell his niece that Qi Ji's account was managed by the company, so he had to say: "Forgot."
Chen Siying's performance was very fierce: "Forgot?!"
Wan Chukong calmed down: "Did you not hear it clearly? You repeat it so loudly."
Chen Siying looked at him suspiciously, "Then you remember it now." The implication is that you should pay attention!
Wan Chukong paused for a few seconds, "Wait, I'll go and ask."
This time Chen Siying was puzzled. What's the point of asking about this kind of thing? Who should I ask?
Then he suddenly realized, "Uncle, is your account in charge of the company? I don't use it for you?"
Wan Chukong clicked on the dialog box and paused, seeing his niece's expression of "I understand everything", he opened his mouth and pressed the rebuttal words under his tongue, and turned into a "Yes".
Then typed: [I followed you?]
Qi Ji did not reply, and he was probably dealing with relatives in his hometown.
Before the two chatted, Qi Ji complained to Wan Chukong, saying that the mayor specially set up a table for him and invited a large group of men, women, young and old to have dinner. He sat in the center so embarrassed that he wanted to get under the table. He didn't know which teammate was an unethical teammate, so he sent the banner photo to their agent. He saw countless pictures and comments on the official blog today. Hahahaha, he was so worried that he could kill him.
Wan Chukong comforted him: [Don't die, your wife]
Qi Ji replied to him: [You made me even more embarrassed like this!]
Chen Siying was still talking to the side: "Well, I understand. It must be because your company has regulations that you cannot pay attention to people casually. You don't pay attention to Qi Ji, right?"
Wan Chukong asked her: "What do you care so much?"
Chen Siying said quickly: "Of course I care. You don't know if you don't go back to the gate. How much scolding my treasure has been, they all say he is paying him..."
Wan Chukong opens Weibo, switches account, enters Qi Ji's name in the search bar, and clicks to follow.
The whole process took less than half a minute, then turned around and said to Chen Siying: "What do we pay attention to each other? Let's post it to each other?"
Chen Siying was speechless and shocked, and said dryly: "Uncle, why are you still cute..."
Wan Chukong wondered: "Where am I cute?"
"You said you're posting."
Wan Chukong's face did not change his expression: "You heard it wrong."
Chen Siying couldn't help but look at him more, and at the same time, her cell phone kept ringing. She looked down and saw that it was a message from the sisters who were chasing stars.
[Cao!! Wan Chukong's B is finally following our treasure!!!]
[After so long, I finally don’t have to go against others anymore. I am so moved. Wan Chukong finally remembered his account and password, right?
【Damn why should I be happy with this? It's so boring]
Chen Siying fell silent at the messages that popped up. She has always been sensible in her work. Wan Chukong is sensitive to his identity. She has never told netizens that her uncle is a person in the circle. Therefore, it was really hard for a while. No matter whether others say Chu Qi was unintentionally true or not, she felt something was wrong. Wan Chukong and Qi Ji should be friends, but the fact that the two of them can become friends is very strange in her opinion.
When it was time for dinner, several juniors at the table took a few bites and ran off the table without stopping. Chen Siying had almost finished eating, and her mother told her: "If you don't want to stay here, just look at your younger brothers and sisters, oh, and your uncle."
Chen Siying nodded helplessly and looked at Wan Chukong at the last time before leaving. The man was talking to her grandfather, with a gentle and decent smile on his face. He lowered his head and listened slightly and was very polite.
Seeing Chen Siying look at him, he raised his eyes again.
Chen Siying quickly turned around and thought to herself that her uncle was too keen.
There were so many children in the living room that were scared. Chen Siying had a severe headache and clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, don't scream anymore. Trouble me and chat. I'll show you something interesting."
One of the children said, "No! I must look at the stars my sister likes again, I won't look at them."
Chen Siying smiled, her expression looked quite like Wan Chukong, and she said cruelly and ruthlessly: "The rebuttal is invalid."
The stage performance of lullaby6 was played on the TV, and several reluctant children were sitting on the sofa. Chen Siying was a little distracted. She saw Qiao Qirui folding a bag of potato chips and moved her mouth and asked, "Qiao Qirui, do you like your brother?"
Qiao Qirui looked at her and said like a little adult: "You should call me uncle, and my brother should call me uncle."
"I know." Chen Siying said, "Where is your answer uncle?"
"I like it." Qiao Qirui looked at her with a look of "You are so inexplicable", "He is my brother."
Chen Siying nodded, bit her lip and continued to ask, "Aren't you...are you jealous? Your mother pays more attention to your brother?"
Qiao Qirui was even more puzzled and looked at her and said, "It's my brother who has been with me."
Chen Siying got the answer instead of relaxing, but instead bit her lips harder, "Sorry, I..."
She shouldn't have asked Qiao Qirui such questions. After this year, he was just an eight-year-old child, and his guilt almost overwhelmed her.
"It's okay, my brother said you are younger than us, I have to give in to you." Qiao Qirui said with great expression, but his eyes were still the child's eyes. He couldn't help but look at her secretly, "My brother is very good. He has been with me until now, otherwise he should have left long ago."
really.
Chen Siying thought of what grandpa told her. Grandpa told her that my uncle had not had this kind of personality before. He was also naughty when he was a child. He relied on his cleverness to speak and caused trouble, but everyone liked him very much.
Until Wan Ling divorced, she left her child to the man in order to pursue her career. Before that, Wan Chukong only took one drama, and was well-known to the public for that drama. After that, there was endless exploitation. When Wan Chukong was still Yingshan, she worked as a graphic model and filmed bad dramas. When he became famous, he was as big as Qiao Qirui.
At first, Wan Ling would call him a week to ask about his recent life. Later, his work became busier and busier, and he made a call every month, and the time for the call became shorter and shorter. Until one day, Wan Chukong, who had not grown up yet, took the initiative to call her and ask her for help. He said that he was too tired and his father was not good to him, but Wan Ling just thought he was acting coquettishly and complained. The child's words were always ignorant, and he spoke exaggeratedly, so she turned around and told Wan Chukong's father.
After that, Wan Chukong never called her again.
When Wan Chukong went to junior high school, Wan Ling remarried and the communication between the two became less and less. At first, Wan Ling thought that her son was blaming her for seeking another love, but she thought that it was the rebellious period of a boy, and it was the result of her care for him too little.
But this situation became more and more serious. She wanted to call him and greet him, but Wan Chukong always hung up her phone.
Her remarried partner first realized something was wrong and suggested returning to China with her. Of course, it was best if nothing happened to her child. She still had to see it with her own eyes to be at ease.
The result is conceivable that the boy's taciturn words were not directed at her mother, but at everyone.
"Your uncle used to be very smirk and was very naughty, and his mouth was sweet..." Chen Siying squinted when she saw her grandfather's memories, and finally she left a strong sigh, "He was already a teenager after all, and his stepfather was kind to him, but that was not his real home after all. When I saw him, he was both polite and laughing, and called me politely 'uncle'. I was completely blank. Shan'er was not so honest before, and had pulled my beard before. I asked him if he still remembered it, but he said he was ignorant and too chaotic when he was a child."
On that afternoon full of sunshine and cold in the room, Chen Siying heard her grandfather talk a lot, and the older generation loved memories and talked about the past.
She seemed to know where the weirdness in Wan Chukong's character came from. His childhood was broken and pieced together, and half of the sweetness and many bitterness were blended together. His perspective on this world was different from that of others. He no longer believed in anyone, but he only left a mouth to see how others broke it.
Chen Siying looked at Qiao Qirui in front of her, as if she saw Wan Chukong many years ago.
Everyone wanted to keep him optimistic and cheerful, and tried his best to keep him, but forgot to ask him if he wanted to go back to the past.
What was Wan Chukong thinking when they showed nostalgic eyes? He was as serious as a child. He observed them, placed himself as a bystander, and lost interest if something was wrong. His expectations never received a response.
Qiao Qirui said: "Brother wanted to move out as soon as he graduated, but no one took care of me, so he stayed."
Chen Siying remembered what grandpa said.
Chapter completed!
