Restarting 16 Years Old, the Champion is Tiger and Tea

Chapter 150 First Kiss

Grandma slapped her thigh and her eyes lit up.

"The second brother's house is empty, so let Xiao Rui use it as a wedding house. They won't be coming back to live there anyway."

Grandpa stared with his eyes wide open and his beard curled up: "Who said that the second son won't go back to live? Don't you know that he is on sick leave?"

Looking at his eldest son whose eyes were also shining, the grandfather became so angry that he felt dizzy.

You are really a person who is not good at doing anything but always causing trouble. Don't you know what's going on with your youngest son's sick leave? You are still following me and making fun of me. You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Grandpa stopped talking and looked at Wen Chenglin with sharp and disgusted eyes, wanting to see what he could come up with.

Wen Chenglin broke out in a cold sweat when his old father looked at him, and he quickly expressed his opinion.

"Mom, this is not right. We should solve our own problems. How can we worry about the second son's house? Besides, the house belongs to the tax bureau. Xiao Rui can't live there, and the second son has to come back to work."

After saying this, he was afraid that his mother would continue to talk, so he quickly got up and went outside. In his heart, he felt ashamed for having been moved just now.

Alas, it is true that poverty brings low aspirations.

The performance of the machinery factory has been very poor recently, and the layoffs may happen in the next few years. The eldest brother is getting married again, which is really tight.

Everyone says it's good to have a son, but getting married, with the betrothal gifts, the new house, and the banquet, is really a lot of work.

......

At night, Jinshu Garden.

Wen Xin leaned on the sofa, reading the letter from Feng Xiaowu.

Feng Xiaowu's original goal was to be admitted to Beijing. However, in his senior year of high school, he saw the introduction to aircraft engineering in the admission brochure of the University of Science and Technology of China and fell in love with it at first sight.

"Sister, from the beginning of school till now, I feel like I have been floating in the sky. Being a soldier and studying aircraft design, all my dreams have come true..."

"Sister, I will go to Beijing to see you and your brother-in-law during the winter vacation, and Brother Xiaochen, I miss you so much."

This brat never changes his ways despite repeated admonitions.

There was a knock on the door, followed by Tan Mu's voice.

Wen Xin opened the door and saw Tan Mu outside, exhausted: "Doudou, you're really home. I'm starving, give me something to eat."

As he spoke, he walked in and went to the bathroom to wash his face and hands. Wen Xin went to the kitchen and busy himself for a while, then brought out a bowl of instant noodles with two poached eggs on it.

"Just came back from the hospital? How is Jin Mingjian? Is his fever gone?"

Jin Mingjian, the top student from Province F who lived in Tan Mu's dormitory, fell ill and had a high fever for several days. Several of his roommates took turns to take care of him.

Tan Mu nodded, ate voraciously, and said nothing.

Seeing him finish eating, Wen Xin put away the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. Tan Mu came over and suddenly hugged Wen Xin from behind, burying his face in her hair.

Wen Xin struggled: "Tanmu, what are you doing......"

"Dou Dou, don't move. Let me hold you for a while." Tan Mu's voice was hoarse and tired, with a kind of heartbreaking brokenness.

Wen Xin noticed something was wrong with him and calmed down.

"What's wrong? Is it because of Jin Mingjian?"

"Yeah." Tan Mu said in a muffled voice, "Doudou, the doctor said Jin Mingjian has leukemia."

Wen Xin's heart suddenly sank.

In this era, people may not know much about various cancers, but thanks to the popular science TV series "Blood Doubt", everyone still has some knowledge about leukemia.

Everyone should understand what Jin Mingjian is facing.

"Does Jin Mingjian know it himself?"

"I know. His mother arrived today. He guessed something was wrong when he saw his mother's expression, so he forced her to tell him the truth."

"What about his mental state..." Wen Xin felt heartbroken as she thought of the short, humorous boy.

"He looks fine. His temperature has dropped a little today, and he was joking with me. He said how could God play such a joke on him that he got sick before he even kissed the girl he liked."

Tan Mu said this, his voice choked up.

Wen Xin raised her hand to touch his hair and softened her voice to comfort him:

"Tanmu, didn't you say that? Each of us is just a passer-by in this world. A hundred years of life is like morning dew, why bother?"

What can I say? Life and death are beyond our control.

Tan Mu nodded silently, let go of her and walked out.

When Wen Xin came out of the kitchen, Tan Mu had already spread out his book on the dining table and started doing his homework.

Wen Xin sighed. This was probably his way of calming down. She sat on the sofa and read a book. The only sounds in the quiet room were the turning of pages and the sound of the pen on the paper.

After a while, Tan Mu raised his head from the book and found that Wen Xin had fallen asleep on the sofa, holding the book.

Tan Mu walked over, took away the book, gently covered her with a small blanket, squatted down and carefully looked at the sleeping little face.

She has long eyebrows and eyelashes, and a pink and tender little mouth under her straight nose.

Jin Mingjian's weak teasing suddenly rang in my ears.

"Old Tan, you're about to graduate from college, and you haven't even kissed your little potato yet? Then what have you been doing pestering her for all day?"

"Brother, just do whatever you want to do. Don't be like me. I didn't even dare to say I liked her. Now I'm left with regrets."

Tan Mu's eyes warmed up and he lowered his head to kiss that little mouth.

So soft, tender, and tingling. He touched it carefully and gently, but then left with a trembling heart.

Turning back, the boy with a blushing face took the book on the coffee table, sat aside and read it, without turning a page for a long time.

Half an hour later, Wen Xin woke up and looked at the watch in a daze.

"Ah...it's almost ten o'clock, why didn't you wake me up?"

Tan Mu stood up and picked up his schoolbag: "I'm going back to rest, you should go to bed early."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Wen Xin was a little dazed. Why did this look like a desperate escape?

......

With donations from the entire school and the entire class accompanying him, Jin Mingjian's condition finally stabilized. He was then taken to Sakura Country by his father for treatment.

The doctor said that for Jin Mingjian's type of disease, the five-year survival rate is over 40 percent.

Wen Xin's heart finally settled down, and most importantly, he felt relieved for Tan Mu.

Boys’ friendship is magical. You don’t see them being as inseparable as girls at other times, but they are very loyal to each other at critical moments.

For example, for Wen Xichen, the only interactions he had with Tan Mu in recent years were occasionally playing basketball and having dinner together, but now Tan Mu is doing his best to help him find out about joining the army.

Wen Chenglin and his wife were firmly opposed to it, thinking that he would earn little money and be far from home. With his major, he could find a job in a bank with a high monthly salary, so why would he go to the army and suffer?

But my grandfather fully supported it.

"A good man has ambitions. It's a good thing that your child has such ambitions. You haven't lived your lives well, so don't tell your child what to do."

......

At the end of summer, everyone was already a little tipsy at Wen Xichen's farewell party.

This summer, four years of college life ended and everyone went their separate ways. This was probably the last time we had such intensive gatherings during this period.

Tan Mu and Wen Xin became graduate students of Professor Ning and Professor Yang according to the procedures. Wang Youlin was assigned to the legal department of Jinghua Group, and Meng Xiang, who came with her, was assigned to be a teacher at Beijing Normal University.

The dinner was over, and the three men drank in the same way. Wen Xichen remained calm and had a clear look in his eyes, while Meng Xiang blushed slightly and started to talk more. Tan Mu was in a bad state, his tongue was tied and his steps were staggering.

Wen Xichen watched the two pairs of people leave in different directions, and walked towards their residence with resounding steps.

He is full of expectations for the new life.

In the taxi, Wen Xin looked at Tan Mu, who was leaning on her shoulder, with a worried look on his face.
