Chapter 39 Want a Hug
In the dimly lit place, a group of half-grown children gathered around Wenwan to listen to stories.
Wen Wan was lying on the rocking chair. On the left was Shen Zhou peeling peanuts for her, and on the right was the little Loli who was massaging her legs.
The newly arrived Winn was sitting under a tree root not far away, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth. He seemed to be looking at the moon in the horizon, but his ears were secretly perked up.
"The so-called chain plan is to connect one link after another. It is said that Zhuge Liang burned Red Cliff..."
The breeze blows and the years are quiet.
Before the story was finished, several younger children had already fallen asleep in various directions.
"It's almost time to rest. Let's continue talking tomorrow."
Wen Wan also yawned and waved to Wen En in the distance, "You are the tallest, come and help."
Winn stood up and walked towards her.
Wen Wan commanded very naturally, "You and Shen Zhou can each hold one and send them back to their rooms to rest."
Shen Zhou was already very skilled at picking up a child and strode towards the room.
Winn was stunned for a moment before he bent down and picked up a child. He seemed to have never held a child like this before, and the expression on his face was a little unnatural.
There was a four-year-old little Loli left. Wen Wan rolled up her sleeves and hugged the little Loli.
"Little Fatty, so heavy."
She complained casually and walked forward humming.
Win En's eyes narrowed, he took a step forward and fished the little Loli over with one hand.
He had a child in each hand and held it easily.
Wen Wan blinked her eyes and praised without hesitation, "You are so strong, you are so capable!"
When Wen En heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
After sending the two children back to the house, Wen Wan pointed to the room next to her.
"The mute woman has prepared the room for you. The quilts and mattresses have just been changed. You can make do with clothes and other things. The mute woman is already making new ones for you. If you have any other needs, don't be polite to us. Just mention it.”
She introduced with a gentle smile and added: "The people living here are all orphans without relatives. We are all the same, so don't be burdened."
After hearing this, Win En felt a little surprised in his eyes.
He raised his hand and pointed at Wen Wan.
"Are you asking me?" Wen Wan replied casually: "It's the same for me. I'm an orphan, so it's no big deal. Besides, now that your last name is me, you will be my biological brother from now on. Neither of us is considered an orphan." Yes, right.”
After Wen Wan finished speaking, she patted him on the shoulder and joked: "In the future, you must obey your sister and she will love you."
Winn nodded solemnly, "Yeah."
"Okay, you can rest, I'll go back." Wen Wan waved her hand and turned around.
Wen En raised his eyes to watch her gradually walking away, his eyes darkened, hesitated for a moment, then raised his feet and followed her.

Maybe she ate too many peanuts and melon seeds, and in the middle of the night, Wen Wan felt unbearably thirsty.
She sat up in a daze and was about to take a drink of water. She put her feet under the bed and suddenly stepped on something soft.
"Ah!"
She retracted her legs in fright, and her mind was filled with those ghostly things crawling out from under the bed in the horror movies she had seen before.
My scalp feels numb just thinking about it.
"Me." Beside the bed, a hoarse male voice sounded, with a hint of grievance and uneasiness in his tone.
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then opened her eyes nervously.
Through the moonlight outside the window, she finally managed to figure out who this person was.
"Winn! Why are you sleeping on my footstep? You're going to scare me to death!"
Wen Wan stepped over him and lit the candle on the table.
She originally planned to scold him severely, but under the candlelight, the boy was curled up beside the bed with his bare feet, his eyes full of fear and grievance, like a poor frightened deer. With that look on his face, even if he was gentle enough to curse, he would feel guilty if his tone was harsh.
"Hey. Forget it, I rescued you, what else can I do?"
Wen Wan reluctantly made a handful of herbal tea and drank it in one gulp before speaking again.
She sat on the chair and asked: "Tell me, when did you come and why did you sleep here?"
Wen En stared at her with burning eyes and uttered only one word.
"Afraid."
Wen Wan: "Awesome, I talked for a long time, and you dismissed me with just one word! If you say one more word, will the world be destroyed?"
The young man's eyes darkened and he lowered his head sadly, "I'm afraid."
Wen Wan: "..."
Okay, I did say one more word!
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She waved her hands weakly, "You are a man and I am a woman. We cannot live in the same room. Men and women are different, do you understand?"
Winn shook his head blankly, and without saying a word, his eyes began to turn red.
Wen Wan took a breath, "No, my little ancestor, I'm not scolding you, that's right... It's wrong to do this. Men and women can only share a room when they are married."
< br>
"Get married." He looked at her with moist eyes.
"We're so fucking close! We are siblings, siblings!" Wen Wan held her forehead for a moment, "It doesn't make sense to you."
When the young man heard this, his clear eyes gradually dimmed and seemed to be lifeless again.
He just curled up like that, seeming extremely sad, and kept shrinking into the corner.
"Stop!" Wen Wan patiently decided to ask clearly, "Then tell me, what are you afraid of? It can't be that you are afraid of the dark. You are sleeping alone in the roast sheep shop, aren't you?"
Still sleeping in the woodshed.
Winn: "I'm afraid you won't want me."
"You actually said such a long sentence!" Wen Wan's eyes widened in surprise, "It seems like you don't know how to speak, you just don't want to."
Winn pursed his lips and remained silent again.
In the middle of the night, Wen Wan didn't want to waste time with him, so she explained in a serious and thoughtful manner.
"None of what I said to you was to coax you. I meant what I said gently."
"I do plan to move out of the side courtyard. After all, it is someone else's place. Forget it before. I have a new identity now. It's not good to live here all the time."
"But don't worry, when I move out in the future, I will take you with me. You have my last name and you are mine, so I will not let you go."
After she finished speaking, she instinctively raised her hand to touch Winn's head, but he subconsciously avoided it.
Wen Wan was startled, and Wen En's eyes flickered, then he held back, and finally let her hand fall on her head.
I ruffled the boy's hair. It felt like stroking a cat, and I felt gentle and satisfied.
"So, can you go back to your room and sleep now?"
Winn hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
But he didn't leave in a hurry, but stood beside the bed and didn't move.
Wen Wan looked at him doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"
The young man's lips moved and said: "Sister."
Wen Wan was happy when she heard it, "Hey, be good..."
Before she could finish her words, Winn leaned forward, took her into his arms with both hands.
He said: "Sister, hug me."
