There was a light rain at noon, and the weather in the afternoon became even cooler.

Lu Wenxing and Yan Xinyu were sitting in the cafe and each ordered a cup of hot drink.

Yan Xinyu is a slow temper, but after getting acquainted with each other, it is a chatter, especially in a foreign country, Lu Wenxing became her only friend.

Lu Wenxing holds the tablet and concentrates on coloring the illustration.

"Did you finish drawing so soon?"

Yan Xinyu sat opposite Lu Wenxing, holding a cup of hot drink in her hand, biting the rim of the cup, and looking at the tablet in Lu Wenxing's hand.

Y students will be more leisurely than C students, but it’s not because of the lack of schoolwork, but in Y’s class, the weekly teaching time is not much, the first few classes are used to comment on the student’s work, and the later classes are enough for students to create time.

An illustration should be handed in every two weeks, comments should be submitted once a week, and homework should be handed in every two weeks.

Lu Wenxing and Yan Xinyu are catching up to the fortnight, but Yan Xinyu is not used to this class mode. She likes to paint in places where no one is there, but Lu Wenxing seems to be adapting well.

"It ends on Friday, and it’s only Wednesday today. Are you too fast?"

Yan Xinyu couldn't sit still, standing beside Lu Wenxing and watching.

The main color of dark red, a huge white fox occupies half of the drawing paper.

The white fox's eyebrows were printed with a gorgeous plum blossom, and the body was like ethereal white smoke.

There was a young girl wearing a red veil under the tree. Her eyebrows also had a red plum print. The girl's slender fingers pinched the petals, and her thin lips were dyed with plum blossoms.

This is a Chinese style illustration, and the details have not been processed yet, but Yan Xinyu has already seen from this painting that the girl was transformed by this white fox.

"You are almost finished, I haven't written yet." Yan Xinyu sighed, "Ah, I don't know what to paint yet."

Listening to Yan Xinyu's wailing, Lu Wenxing looked at her helplessly, "It's not that you have no thoughts, you are procrastination."

Yan Xinyu curled her lips, and then remembered another thing.

"By the way, the art gallery next door is open this Friday, and there is also an exhibition of famous paintings. Would you like to check it out?"

Lu Wenxing raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Where did you hear the news?"

"I saw it online on campus." Yan Xinyu put down the hot drink in her hand, "Will you go?"

"go with."

It is evening in country Y, but it is morning in China.

Wen Huaihe dressed neatly early in the morning, and walked down from the second floor with a suitcase. Ji Yuan sat at the dining table, not knowing what Wen Zheng said, Ji Yuan smiled happily.

Wen Huaihe is in a good mood today, with a smile in his eyes.

"Good morning."

"morning."

"morning."

Wen Huaihe sat down with a smile, and the aunt had already brought the corn soup, "Mr. Wen, your soup."

"thanks."

After taking a sip of the soup, Wen Huaihe stretched out his hand to get the toast on the table, "My plane is at ten o'clock, and I will leave after eating."

He thought his wife and son would look resentful, but strangely they didn't have much reaction.

Is this wrong?

When Wen Huaihe just learned that Lu Wenxing was his youngest son, he was full of joy and wanted to find someone, but Ji Yuan told him that Xingxing had gone abroad.

Then, Ji Yuan also said in a very low-key manner that she, Xingxing, and Wen Zheng, and the three of them had a happily dinner together.

Wen Huaihe's depressed mood suddenly became sad. He, the father, didn't even have time to see the child, so they ate dinner happily?

but it does not matter.

He was about to see the stars. When he thought of hearing the stars call himself ‘Dad’ soon, it would be no big deal for his wife to eat with his younger son on his back. Wen Huaihe forgave his wife and eldest son very generously.

He even thought about Ji Yuan and Wen Zheng thoughtfully, knowing that they couldn't see the stars for the time being, there would definitely be a psychological gap.

So at the table.

Wen Huaihe strained his face, trying not to make himself seem too excited.

After having breakfast, Wen Huaihe’s driver was already waiting outside. He was pushing the suitcase and was about to meet Ji Yuan, and Wen Zhengdao alone. As a result...

The wife and eldest son didn’t know where the suitcase was changed, and followed him, “It just so happens that we are also on this point of flight, let’s be together.”

Wen Huaihe: "..."

Along the way, Wen Huaihe wanted to speak but stopped.

"That's the case, I think it's too late to hold a new product launch after seeing the stars." Ji Yuan smiled like a flower, and his joy was hard to conceal.

Wen Zheng was quieter. He said with a serious face, "Wang is always the day after tomorrow. In order not to appear too deliberate, I should go to Country Y to wait for him in advance."

Wen Huaihe, who thought he could recognize the stars earlier: "..."

After getting off the plane, it was night in country y.

It was Mr. He’s assistant, a young man in a black suit, who came to pick him up, "Mr. Wen, hello!"

The assistant had met Wen Huaihe and recognized them in the crowd at a glance, "Ms. Wen and Young Master Wen are here too?"

"I'll come together if I have something to do in country Y." Ji Yuan didn't expect Wen Huaihe to actually come to the exhibition, and he was a little surprised to see Mr. He's assistant.

"Little Xu, are you holding an exhibition on Friday?"

"Yes." Xiao Xu Xiao led them forward, "Mrs. Wen and Da Young can come together when they have time."

Xiao Xu drove them to the hotel and helped him check in. He handed them two room cards.

"We also live here. I'll call him."

When Xiao Xu left, Ji Yuan looked at Wen Zheng suspiciously. "Are you really invited to the exhibition?"

Wen Huaihe replied solemnly, "Of course."

After a while, Mr. He, who was nearly forty years old, walked out of the elevator.

"President Wen, you can count it."

The two shook hands briefly, "Madam is getting more and more beautiful, but the young master is still so handsome."

"He can really talk." Ji Yuan greeted him with a smile.

"Then what? I've made a decision, let's all go together."

"He's exhibition is very sudden, why did you say it when it is approaching?" Ji Yuan asked jokingly: "If our old crane didn't have time to come, wouldn't it be that he missed a visual feast."

He Yi smiled so that the eye lines appeared. "Thanks to Mr. Wen for linking, I got two famous paintings this time. As soon as the exhibition time was set, the partner called me immediately."

"Mrs. Wen is right here. The paintings in this exhibition are all treasures. I rented them from collectors, and I get this number for one day of the exhibition." He Yibi said again with a number.

"I thought that this cooperation could not be negotiated, but the old news persuaded me not to give up and asked me to try to advance the exhibition time. I didn't expect it to happen. The company that was going to hold the exhibition had something wrong, which prevented me from giving up. I found it."

Ji Yuan gave an unexplained "Oh". It was our old crane who persuaded you to advance the time? "

He Yi didn't hear anything wrong, and he kept praising Huaihe.

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Wen. When I return to China, I will definitely come and thank him."

Wen Huaihe gave a ‘tsk’, wishing to stop He Yi’s mouth, how could this guy talk so much?

"Ah, shouldn't that old Ho talk about the exhibition next Friday?"

"Oh, yes, yes! I also invited a few partners, and I will wait for the dinner."

In the morning, Lu Wenxing received Wen Zheng's message, and guessed that the other party was worried about waking him up and didn't make a call.

Wen Zheng asked him if there were many classes today and if he would have time to eat together.

When Lu Wenxing saw it, he called Wen Zheng directly, and the two negotiated to have a meal together at seven o'clock in the evening.

Lu Wenxing did not have classes this afternoon, but Wen Zheng did not tell him in advance that he had agreed to a social activity with the photography team yesterday, and members of several groups would go to the suburbs to gather together.

It was already half past six when he returned by his classmate's car, and it was still half an hour away from the agreed time. Lu Wenxing took a taxi to the hotel.

In twenty minutes, he walked into the hotel hall at exactly 6:50.

He asked Wen Zheng in advance, knowing that Ji Yuan would also come, but when he saw the strange man sitting next to Ji Yuan, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"The stars are coming."

"Sorry, I arrived so late."

"It doesn't matter, are you hungry? Have something to eat first." Wen Zheng ordered this hotel to cook Chinese food. Taking into account Lu Wenxing's taste, he finally chose this one.

"How about a few days in country Y? Are you accustomed to eating?" Ji Yuan worried that Lu Wenxing would not be accustomed to eating Western food in country Y.

"Yes, there are a lot of international students in country Y, and the cafeteria has Chinese food open."

"That's good."

Lu Wenxing glanced at Wen Huaihe, who was staring at him eagerly. He didn't know the identity of the other party, and didn't know what to call him.

"This is my dad."

After Wen Zheng's introduction, Lu Wenxing nodded, "Smell... good uncle."

Lu Wenxing looked at Wen Huaihe a few more times. As Ji Yuan said, Wen Zheng really did not look like his father.

"Don't stand, the star sits here." Wen Huaihe wanted Lu Wenxing to sit next to him, but was cut off by Ji Yuan, "The star sits here."

Wen Huaihe recruited the hotel waiter with a blank face, like a food passer, and asked the waiter to serve the dishes ordered in advance.

Before Lu Wenxing came, worried that he would be hungry too late, Ji Yuan had already ordered a few dishes in advance.

"Actually, there is a very important thing to come to you today."

"Auntie, you say."

"Let's talk about it after eating."

Taking advantage of the time of serving, Lu Wenxing took out the gift he had prepared. "This is for Brother Wen and Auntie."

After speaking, he looked at Wen Huaihe apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't know my uncle would come too, and I didn't prepare anything, so let's make it up next time."

"no problem, no problem."

Ji Yuan smiled and took over the gift box in surprise, "Can you take it apart?"

Seeing Lu Wenxing nodding, Ji Yuan and Wen Zheng opened the gifts in front of Wen Huaihe with joy.

Wen Huaihe said that he didn't care, but his eyes were staring at them both.

What sent Wenzheng was a sea-blue tie, which matched the suit he wore today.

Ji Yuan's gift box is small and exquisite. It is a pair of glaze blue antler necklaces. The antlers are also shaped like falling snowflakes with blue glaze in the middle.

"so beautiful."

"Do you like it?"

"I like it." Ji Yuan's eyes curled up, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help raising a smile, "I like it so much."

"Husband, do you think the necklace the stars gave me looks good?"

Wen Huaihe was not jealous at all, he sullenly replied, "It looks good."

Wen Zheng didn't dare to deliberately show off like his mother did. He closed the box and opened it not so deliberately, carefully touching the smooth and comfortable fabric.

"Stars, can you put them on for me?"

"Huh?" This request made Lu Wenxing a little confused. It is indeed inconvenient for Wen Zheng to sit next to him, but Wen Huaihe sits next to Ji Yuan, why let him wear it?

Is it inappropriate?

Without waiting for Lu Wenxing to think too much, Ji Yuan smiled faintly, and explained: "I can't buckle myself, my husband...well, his hands are shaking, let him buckle for a long time, it may not be able to buckle."

Lu Wenxing glanced at Wen Huaihe, as if his face was not so good? But he didn't mean to stop, he hesitated for a moment, and nodded in response to "OK".

The antler necklace was taken out by Lu Wenxing, and Ji Yuan moved the chair to Lu Wenxing's side to facilitate Lu Wenxing's actions.

While buttoning Ji Yuan, Lu Wenxing accidentally saw a small mole on her delicate and smooth swan neck.

For an instant, something seemed to slam Lu Wenxing's mind heavily, and with a bang, the vague memory suddenly flooded his brain.

The familiar garden is still in my memory.

A boy ran in the garden and ran into a woman's arms when he turned a corner.

"Stop running."

"Then mom, give me a hug."" Yesterday, I said that I was grown up and would not be allowed to hug me. Why do you take the initiative today?" The woman gently sorted the broken hair on the boy's forehead, "Look at you, running a sweat."

"He must want some toys again, deliberately selling well here."

"Not really, hum." The boy stuck his tongue out at his brother, "Mom, give me a hug."

There was a slight smile in the woman's eyes, "Okay, hug our cute little star."

"Tell mom, what do you want?" The woman bent over and picked up the boy. A sweet smile appeared on the boy's doll-like face. Before the woman could react, the boy held her neck. A kiss on her side face.

"I want to give mom a kiss."

The woman was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she chuckled and pinched the boy's fleshy face, "I'm stealing a little cake again, isn't it? My mouth is so sweet."

"No, this is the homework assigned by the teacher." The boy nestled in the woman's arms and acted like a baby. His eyes fell on her neck inadvertently while playing, only to see a light black mole.

"Star."

"Star?"

Lu Wenxing regained his senses abruptly, only then did he notice that all three of them looked at him worriedly, "What's the matter?"

"No, it's okay."

Lu Wenxing's head was roaring, and he couldn't tell the true and false of that memory.

In the middle of the meal, he couldn't help but distracted, his eyes fell on Ji Yuan's body intentionally or unintentionally.

But... how is this possible?

There is no mention of Wen Jia's other children in the novel, and Lu Wenxing immediately vetoed his idea. It may be a memory confusion or a coincidence.

"Xingxing, why don't you eat it?" Ji Yuan looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't you like sweet and sour pork ribs last time, didn't you have an appetite here?"

Lu Wenxing has no appetite at all now, and his mind is full of memories related to just now. Facing Ji Yuan's gentle and considerate care, he can't help but think more.

But how could there be such a coincidence?

"Stars, did you think of something?"

Ji Yuan's intuition was very keen, and the atmosphere was good after the stars came in. In order to keep the stars from getting nervous, Ji Yuan did not deliberately lead the topic in this regard, but the stars were in a daze after putting her necklace on.

Four or five-year-old children will not have deep memories, but there will always be one or two impressive things.

He learned from Lu Xiaofei that Xingxing had a high fever, and he couldn't even tell his name, but he remembered that his nickname was Xingxing, indicating that this name left a deep impression on him.

Lu Wenxing didn't know how to explain the strange memory at that moment. After a while, Ji Yuan's gentle voice came.

"Xingxing, I said just now, there is a very important thing that I want to tell you today, would you like to hear it?"

Hearing these words, Lu Wenxing's heart throbbed, as if he had guessed something, and as if he didn't know anything.

"On the second day you arrived in Country Y, I visited your adoptive parents."

Lu Wenxing's pupils were slightly enlarged, and Ji Yuan's gentle and gentle tone appeared particularly clear in the quiet room.

"The first time we met you saved me, but I held you down. You also handed me a tissue, I was not scared, I was just, I was just too happy." "I look forward to this day. It’s been too long, and I never thought that we would meet in this way. So suddenly, but so surprising."

Lu Wenxing lowered his eyes, and his slender and thick eyelashes fell under his eyelids, like the trembling wings of a butterfly, and his beautiful face became more white and translucent under the light.

Ji Yuan didn't continue, he knew Lu Wenxing could understand, and he patiently waited for Lu Wenxing to take the time to accept it.

Wen Zheng and Wen Huaihe were silent all the time, but their eyes did not shy away from Lu Wenxing's body.

The atmosphere fell into silence, Ji Yuan did not urge, she was willing to give Lu Wenxing enough time, just like Lu Wenxing has been patiently waiting for them all these years.

Ji Yuan is only worried that Xingxing has not eaten enough, and is hesitating whether to ask the waiter to add some dishes. Before he can turn his eyes away, Lu Wenxing lifts his eyelids and looks at her, her light-colored eyes reflecting her figure. .

Then, Lu Wenxing's voice fell.

"You are my mother, right?"
