Chapter 33 Wen Yunfeng’s reminiscence

Wen Yunfeng looked at the necklace in his hand, and unconsciously recollected the time when he and Gu Yan were childhood sweethearts.

Wen Yunfeng first met Gu Yan on a day after he came home from school. His grandpa brought back a skinny girl who was shorter than him. Her eyes on the palm-sized face seemed extremely big. She hid behind his grandpa all the time, looking very frightened.

Wen Yunfeng stared at the little girl as if she was a novelty. He wondered who she was and why she came here.

Grandpa Wen introduced her to his family. Her name was Gu Yan. Grandpa Wen patted Wen Yunfeng’s shoulder and pushed Gu Yan in front of him, saying that she was Wen Yunfeng’s child bride. Wen Yunfeng didn’t know what child bride was at that time. Grandma Wen extremely opposed it after hearing Grandpa’s announcement. But Grandpa Wen was the head of Wen’s family and at his insistence, Gu Yan stayed at Wen’s family.

“Hello, my name is Wen Yunfeng.” The little boy introduced himself to her with a smile. No matter who she was, he had a new friend, which made him very happy.

At the beginning, Gu Yan was always quiet and talked little with him. Wen Yunfeng had been trying to attract her attention and often sent her novelties. Eventually, Gu Yan got along well with him.

After that, Wen Yunfeng had been taking care of Gu Yan as her brother. He didn’t take his grandpa’s words seriously. Although his grandpa said that she was his child bride, other family members didn’t agree with it. They didn’t talk about it in private, fearing to be rebuked by Grandpa Wen, who was quite dignified at Wen’s family and didn’t allow anyone to doubt what he said. Grandma Wen also didn’t dare to say anything when Grandpa Wen was present, so she ignored the existence of Gu Yan.

As time went by, Wen Yunfeng and Gu Yan went to the same secondary school.

At that time, Wen Yunfeng was tall and thin, lively and gentle, with excellent academic performance in the school. Therefore, many girls in the school secretly liked him. There were often many love letters in his desk drawer, but he didn’t care about them. The people who wrote the letters never sign their names and only wrote “dear Wen Yunfeng” or “dear Yunfeng”. So, he never read these letters.

One day, a girl stopped him when he was about to go home. He stared at the girl for a long time and finally knew that he didn’t know her.

“Wen Yunfeng, I have been in love with you for a long time.” The shy girl with two braids expressed her love to him with courage.

“What?” Wen Yunfeng didn’t understand why she said this without any reasons? They didn’t even know each other.

He was silent and didn’t know how to respond.

Then the girl cried and ran away after getting no response from Wen Yunfeng. He scratched his head and felt confused. How could he respond to her love since he didn’t even know her? What did she think?

Wen Yunfeng shook his head and didn’t take it seriously.

When passing by the playground, he saw a boy also stopped Gu Yan at the spectators’ stand, and Gu Yan looked at the boy timidly. Thinking that the boy was embarrassing Gu Yan, Wen Yunfeng rushed towards them. He didn’t expect that the boy was expressing his love to Gu Yan.

“I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?” The boy saw Gu Yan while playing basketball and stopped her. He knew who she was and he liked the quiet girl.

At that time, Wen Yunfeng was extremely angry, “You dare to like Gu Yan. She belongs to me. Hem!”

Wen Yunfeng suddenly appeared and put his arm around Gu Yan’s shoulder, showing his possessiveness proudly, “She is my girlfriend, and you can’t like her. Please don’t harass her anymore.”

Hearing Wen Yunfeng’s words, the boy recognized him who was an excellent student of the school. Now that Gu Yan was Wen Yunfeng’s girlfriend, it seemed that he had no opportunity. The boy said sorry to them embarrassedly and ran away.

Seeing that the boy was sensible to some extent, Wen Yunfeng nodded. When he turned around, he saw Gu Yan looking at him with surprise. At that time, Wen Yunfeng realized that his hand was still putting on Gu Yan’s shoulder.

“Oops! Let’s go home.” Wen Yunfeng tried to hide his embarrassment.

It rained before they left school. Wen Yunfeng picked a leaf to shelter Gu Yan from the rain. He thought that Gu Yan was weak and she must be sick if she got wet in the rain. Then no one would play with him.

Seeing that Gu Yan was moved, Wen Yunfeng smiled. He used his hands to protect her from the rain and they ran all the way home.

In the summer of a year, it was so hot that one would be sweaty as soon as they moved.

Gu Yan had long hair at that time. Everyone knew she was Wen Yunfeng’s girlfriend since that day, so Wen Yunfeng thought her image was closely related to him. When he saw her long hair sticking on her face because of sweating, he frowned. He didn’t like the way she looked.

He bought a box of rubber bands from an accessory store with shyness and went home, but found that Gu Yan was ill. He sighed.

“She is so weak that she gets sick by the sun. Alas!” Wen Yunfeng walked into her room with the box of rubber bands and felt pity when seeing her pale face.

Gu Yan was looking at the medicine dully because she was afraid of taking medicine.

“What are you wondering about? Take medicine quickly.” He urged her, the naughty child.

“The medicine is bitter. Must I take it?” She said with a disgusting expression.

“How can you recover if you don’t take it? Quickly!” She was so weak. If she didn’t take medicine, how could she be cured?

Wen Yunfeng held the box of rubber bands and thought that maybe he could coax her to take medicine using these rubber bands.

“If you take medicine, I will do magic for you.” He had just learned a magic and could have a try.

As expected, she took the medicine after hearing that.

When Gu Yan filled the form of application university for college entrance examination, Wen Yunfeng insisted that she should fill in his university so that he could often see her and take care of her.

However, Gu Yan had applied other colleges except for his university and was admitted to another famous university.

That university was far away from Wen Yunfeng’s. He was very anxious, “Gu Yan was so far away from me. What if she was pursued by those annoying guys?”

Since then, he had been gradually reassessing his feelings towards Gu Yan and found that he no longer took her as a younger sister. He discovered that he had fallen in love with her unconsciously.

Wen Yunfeng required Gu Yan to call him every night and he also went to her college every holiday to show that he was her boyfriend.

Over the next several years, Wen Yunfeng never had relationship with other women. He only had Gu Yan on his side and his heart was also filled up by her gradually.
