Mr. Wen?
If Shi Zhuorui hadn't been standing there, the principal's face would have been pressed against the glass. Such an important figure actually came to their school, and to attend a parent-teacher meeting no less! Wait, whose parent-teacher meeting could President Wen be attending? Does President Wen have an illegitimate child?
The words "The rich and powerful are truly chaotic" silently floated across the principal's shiny head.
Seemingly sensing the gaze from outside, Wen Qi turned around sharply, and just as his gaze fell on the window, he saw Shi Zhuorui raise his phone.
He didn't flinch when his gaze met Shi Zhuorui's. How could his good brother's growth moment be deterred by such a small difficulty? Shi Zhuorui laughed unrestrainedly.
The principal standing next to him wore a bright smile, the biggest difference between him and Shi Zhuorui, who was watching the show, was the sincerity in his smile.
Wen Qi's fingertips twitched, but he didn't get up. Pretending not to see them, he turned back. The classroom was noisy; the parent-teacher meeting was almost over. Wen Cheng was currently holding Nian Nian, asking her where she wanted to eat.
In Wen Qi's eyes, Wen Cheng really loves children. He has more patience and compassion for children than others. His greatest hobby is taking children home and raising them. The Yan siblings are a good example.
Both of them were starved of love, but he shut himself off, while Wen Cheng offered her meager love to someone who had the same experience as her.
Sometimes, looking at her like this, Wen Qi would unconsciously feel jealous, jealous that Wen Cheng was giving too much attention to others. But sometimes he would think that this was the complete Wen Cheng, and that Wen Cheng was willing to give him enough security. For example, at this moment, he still loved himself the most.
"Brother Qi, how about we go to the fried chicken shop near Xiaoyan's school for fried chicken later? We can even get Xiaoyan to come out; she misses seeing her brother so much." The two, one big and one small, looked over, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
Wen Qi's eyelashes trembled; he couldn't resist.
Before the parent-teacher meeting ended, the principal posted an important message in the work group: Premier Wen came to the school to attend the parent-teacher meeting!
Wen Qi's name is iconic in contemporary game design. While this might only be known within the industry, last year some bored entertainment news organizers held an online talent competition, and Wen Qi, with his solid foundation and the full support of his staff, easily secured first place.
This is a dark history that Wen Qi did not personally erase because the company's interests were not harmed and even increased to a certain extent.
The message in the group chat made the teachers under their command excited. Both male and female teachers ran to the door of Class 5, Grade 1. However, they were relatively reserved and did not block the door like fans. They just looked from a distance, their eyes filled with a little bit of fervor.
When the homeroom teacher saw the scene outside after the class meeting, she knew immediately! Her fear was definitely justified; this was definitely a very important person!
As the parents left the classroom one by one, the homeroom teacher was called over by her colleagues outside.
"I'm so envious of you! You even got Mr. Wen to attend your parent-teacher conference! Tell me, which kid in your class is Mr. Wen's father?" a colleague gossiped with envious eyes.
"President Wen? What President Wen?" The homeroom teacher could tell at a glance that this wasn't her area of interest.
The colleague didn't waste any time and just mentioned the name of the game. The girl's eyes widened, and she even regretted not having chatted with this genius a little more.
Unfortunately, Wen Qi didn't like this kind of scene. After resting for a while, he left the classroom with the two children. The principal escorted Wen Qi to the school gate with a smile. It can only be said that educators are more or less eloquent. Shi Zhuorui didn't find a chance to interrupt along the way.
However, Shi Zhuorui wasn't too disappointed. What was there to talk about with a blockhead? This little cutie in front of him was much more interesting.
"Hello, Shi Zhuorui, your brother's friend." Shi Zhuorui extended his hand, exuding the charm of a mature man; even in a suit, his languid air couldn't be concealed.
Wen Cheng glanced at him warily, and seeing that Brother Qi didn't object, she reached out and shook Shi Zhuorui's hand.
However, Wen Cheng found it hard to believe that Brother Qi would have a friend like Shi Zhuorui. The two of them had completely different personalities, and she didn't know how they became friends.
"You're wondering how we became friends?" Shi Zhuorui keenly guessed Wen Cheng's thoughts. However, he didn't make things difficult for Wen Cheng and very proactively explained, "Don't let your brother's current well-dressed and respectable appearance fool you; he was quite the wild one back in school."
Wen Cheng pricked up her ears.
Wen Qi was still chatting with the principal when he suddenly turned around and gave Shi Zhuorui a warning look. Shi Zhuorui was unmoved. If he were afraid of him now, he, Shi Zhuorui, would not have been friends with Wen Qi for so many years.
"Your brother and I were high school classmates. Back in school, your brother was always aloof, had good grades, was quiet, always liked to be the class monitor, a typical model student. Some of the school bullies couldn't stand it back then, and guess what happened?"
"What's wrong?" Wen Cheng pressed.
“They caused trouble during the day, and your brother cornered them in the alley at night and gave them all a good talking to,”
The fearful look in Wen Cheng's eyes that I had imagined did not appear. Instead, she looked admiring, as if to say, "As expected of my brother!"
Shi Zhuorui smiled, looking at Wen Cheng with more kindness and less probing. "Also, during summer vacation, I asked your brother to hang out with me, and he just sent me a train ticket as an attachment, saying 'take it or leave it.' I argued with my mom for three days and canceled a piano lesson with a famous teacher, thinking that summer vacation would be so much fun. In the end, I spent more than two months catching fish and shrimp with your brother in the countryside. When I came back, my mom nagged me to death."
Is Qi Ge's high school really this interesting? Wen Cheng's eyes were filled with longing, but also with some regret. He never had the chance to meet such an interesting person as Qi Ge.
"Don't put all the blame on me. I only took you there for one day. You pestered me to go for the next fifty-nine days." Before he knew it, they had reached the school gate. Wen Qi stopped with his hands in his pockets, backlit. The principal had already left, satisfied. It was Wen Qi's turn to retaliate.
Shi Zhuorui retorted, "Your legs are your own. Even if I pester you, you won't come with me if you're not interested. Don't sell out your brother for the sake of face in front of him!"
Wen Qi smiled, then became very serious and said, "Not my younger brother, he's my boyfriend."
Shi Zhuorui's smile froze.
ha?
"Brother, are you big brother's boyfriend?" Niannian raised her innocent and pure eyes.
Wen Cheng: ......When Brother Qi opens his mouth, it's like a scene from hell!
Chapter 123 Mouth
"I, I, I, this," Wen Cheng stammered, which was rare for him. He felt that Shi Zhuorui was alright, but the key was that he felt extremely guilty when facing Nian Nian's clear eyes. He felt for some reason that he was setting a bad example for the child!
Shi Zhuorui said heavily, as someone patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Cheng, just blink if this old rogue has framed you. I'll get justice for you!"
Before he could finish speaking, he received a tap on the head. "Stop talking nonsense!"
Wen Qi was truly ruthless towards Shi Zhuorui. This time, Wen Cheng didn't offer any comforting assistance; instead, she blushed and held Nian Nian's hand, insisting that as long as they kept quiet, things would turn around! Even Nian Nian's bright, sparkling gaze...
Faced with her somewhat awkward boyfriend, Wen Qi calmly stepped out to resolve the minor incident, bending down to pull Yan Nian into his arms. Yan Nian's feelings for Wen Qi had always been more of awe than affection; she wanted to cling to him, but faced with the imposing older brother, she felt unsure how to approach him.
This was the first time Wen Qi had hugged her so proactively. Yan Nian immediately forgot the question she had just wanted to ask and wanted to reach out and hug her older brother's neck. Yan Nian tentatively reached out her hand first, and seeing that Wen Qi didn't even frown, she immediately and happily hugged Wen Qi's neck.
In Shi Zhuorui's eyes, all of this was a typical little family: a steady and reliable husband, a cute and shy wife, and a lively and well-behaved little daughter.
He's only been abroad for a little over two months, right?
Is this still just an ordinary real world?
Then they saw Wen Qi easily holding Yan Nian with one hand, and even reaching out with the other to pat Wen Cheng's head.
"Tui! You old beast!" Shi Zhuorui spat fiercely, then suddenly thought of something, a playful glint in his eyes, "Hey, tell me, wasn't it when I heard Chengcheng say those things at the restaurant last time that you were already smitten?"
“No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak,” Wen Qi interrupted Shi Zhuorui’s spellcasting.
But Wen Cheng, who was standing to the side, perked up her ears. "A restaurant? What restaurant?"
"Look, your brother really wanted to hear it too, and you've really disappointed him like this?" Shi Zhuorui continued to stir things up.
"Brother Qi, I'm really going to be disappointed~" Wen Cheng, the little one, also came over.
Wen Qi glanced at the two of them calmly, but his gaze softened considerably when he looked at Wen Cheng.
"Do me a favor, and I'll let you talk and listen." Wen Qi deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
Wen Cheng was itching to get her hands on something.
Shi Zhuorui, however, was used to Wen Qi's habits of many years, resting his hands comfortably on the back of his neck, exuding a roguish charm.
"Okay, let's talk about it at a bar today. There's a really nice quiet bar nearby, and the owner makes really good cocktails." Shi Zhuorui has all sorts of hobbies, but his favorite is drinking. He has tried almost every famous wine in the world.
"Tomorrow," Wen Qi refused without hesitation, then explained, "I'm going to pick up my brother today, and I'll take him out for something to eat while I'm at it."
Hearing the word "younger brother" warmed Wen Cheng's heart. He treated Yan Luan as a younger brother and never asked Qi Ge to do the same. But Qi Ge silently accepted this, which was a great recognition to him. How could he have such a good boyfriend?
Wen Cheng instantly forgave Brother Qi for his outspokenness. Yes, Wen Cheng's anger could dissipate so quickly!
"Younger brother?" Shi Zhuorui strongly suspected that Wen Qi hadn't done anything for the past two months and had been focused on finding his relatives. Driven by intense curiosity, Shi Zhuorui insisted on going with him.
Then, using the keywords, I picked up my younger brother and we ate something.
The result, however, greatly shocked him.
I do have a younger brother, he's eighteen years old, and we live in the same place, at a chain fried chicken shop near the school.
How many years has it been since he last visited a place like this?
Wen Qi ordered the food himself this time. Watching him skillfully order the set meals and some specialty fried items, he felt that this world was very surreal. Even when he was in school, he had never seen Wen Qi touch these things.
It's like a fairy who has been drinking dew for ten thousand years suddenly squatting by a pit and beckoning him to eat beggar's chicken!
"This is the place you were talking about, um, where we eat?" Shi Zhuorui's upper face was serious, his brows furrowed, clearly not understanding!
Wen Qi glanced at Shi Zhuorui with disdain, "Wipe the grease off your mouth before you talk to me like that."
......
Having run into a wall here, Shi Zhuorui looked at Wen Cheng sitting opposite him.
Logically speaking, newly dating boyfriends should be inseparable, even reluctant to part with the person sitting across from them while eating. However, this principle is completely reversed in their case.
Wen Cheng sat opposite her, with a very handsome younger brother next to her!
The two of them, one cold and one warm, are a perfect match standing together!
Shi Zhuorui couldn't help but recall the promotional video he had seen before. No wonder there were still a bunch of crazy fans shipping them in the supertopic. With their looks and aura, Shi Zhuorui, a straight man, still couldn't help but look at them with a disillusioned gaze.
However, the relationship between the two people and the atmosphere at this moment are somewhat different from the promotional video.
"Twenty-six points? You got more than that on the listening section!" Wen Cheng said sternly, tapping the test paper.
Yan Luan, who usually has a cool face, was now shrouded in gloom and shame.
For once, he raised his head and looked at Wen Qi, his gaze as soft as a clumsy little wolfhound. Wen Qi nodded slightly.
"Chengcheng, we're still outside. Let's save the child some face." Wen Qi's deep voice was like a long sigh from the forest.
Wen Cheng raised her head, her impatient and agitated look making Shi Zhuorui a little uneasy. It reminded him so much of the way his mother used to look at his father when she scolded him and his father intervened to break up the fight.
“If I weren’t trying to save him face, I would have chosen the first floor long ago! Look here, there’s no one around us!” Wen Cheng said logically.
If Wen Qi hadn't looked up, he would have seen several tables of guests across an empty table.
Fortunately, the fast food restaurant was quite noisy, so not many people noticed him.
"Chengcheng." Wen Qi sighed, this time only calling Wen Cheng's name, but his aura was even stronger than before.
Wen Cheng grumbled unhappily, but still wouldn't let go of Yan Luan's test paper.
"English might not seem useful to you now, but it will be of great help in your university years and future work. The knowledge you're receiving now is too one-sided; you don't understand the significance of learning it. In fact, the significance of knowledge is far more important than the immediate college entrance exam score. Or, take the exam as an example: try to put yourself in their shoes. A student who can score over 240 in a science subject in just one month shouldn't only get 24 in English." Wen Qi's persuasive style was very different from his usual decisive methods. On the contrary, when faced with this kind of problem, the obedient Wen Cheng's educational approach was more like that of an ordinary family. Wen Qi would explain the reasons and the significance of the subject.
Yan Luan nodded, somewhat moved, and secretly made up his mind. Then, with the pride that boys tend to care about, he added, "Yes, twenty-six points."
"Aren't they all the same?" Wen Qiping smiled gently.
Yan Luan: Suddenly I realized how terrifying this man in front of me was.
"I'll arrange another online tutor for you tomorrow. Although it seems like there are still eight months left, we absolutely cannot let our guard down!" Wen Cheng finally released Yan Luan's test paper. She then pushed a steaming hot chicken leg towards him.
With a whip and a piece of candy, Yan Luan was so touched that he wanted to hug Wen Cheng, but then he coughed in front of him and immediately stopped himself from thinking about it.
