This time was the second time he saw He YuanDong.
He grandfather entrusted He YuanDong to the Wen family and asked for WenYa.
When WenYa was not born yet, the elders of Wen and He family made an arrangement. They decided to give WenYa to He YuanDong, the five-year-old grandson of He JiaDong. The two did child marriages.
The He family is the home of Zhong Ming Ding Shi. In the past 100 years, they are still at the top of the elite circle. The two families are close and match with each other.
It's just...everyone thought WenYa was a girl. But who thought it was a boy when he was born.
Therefore, this child marriage came to nothing and occasionally mentioned only as a joke several years later.
WenYa and He YuanDong are even more strangers. When he was young, WenYa was in poor health, so he went to Australia for convalescence. He went to the United States to study in high school and did not return until this year. In addition to the hospital, WenYa did not meet with He YuanDong.
Unexpectedly, the He family raised the issue again.
His parents were quite flustered, but they did not directly refuse. Instead, they asked WenYa to take He YuanDong to the garden for a stroll while they have some discussion.
WenYa has always been well-behaved. Although he is not willing to get along with He YuanDong alone, and he doesn't want to marry He YuanDong. Still, he didn't refute his elders in front of their guests.
At that time it was hot summer, WenYa was very afraid of heat. There's a fine sweat on his forehead when he only went to walk in the corridor.
Fortunately, the yard was full of a hundred years trees. They were cool and could block some heat.
Not far from the small lake there is an otter for people to rest.
He didn't think much and walked over there.
He YuanDong was behind him.
After sitting down, WenYa called the maid to bring melons and pastries, and then he ignored He YuanDong. Silently, he looked at the lotus leaves in the pond.
No one spoke for a time.
He YuanDong sat sideways and tilted his legs. He stared at him brazenly, a short while he suddenly said, "So ugly."
WenYa turned back and looked at him puzzlingly.
He YuanDong's beautiful eyebrows slightly prick: "What? are you not ugly?"
WenYa knew that he was talking about him.
He looked at He YuanDong.
This man has an attractive look, just like his older brother. If you look long enough, it almost takes your breath away.
Just because He YuanDong was tall, plus his temperament was unlikely, that's why many people were afraid to look directly at him.
WenYa lowered his head and didn't plan to argue with him.
He YuanDong touched his chin: "Have you ever heard of the story of an ugly duckling?"
WenYa is still silent.
Of course, he had heard it. It was a fairy tale a few centuries ago. The ugly duckling brothers and sisters were beautiful. Only the ugly duckling was a little ugly and finally left home with low self-esteem.
WenYa knows what He YuanDong mean. The Wen family's appearance is notably good, especially his big brother WenXin. He looks like he walks out from the painting and looks beautiful without losing the Qingjun. Like the bright moon in the sky, it makes people love and cannot help to be envious.
In the family, he is the most unremarkable.
In fact, WenYa is not ugly. On the other hand, his facial features are very delicate. He only likes to wear trousers and leather shoes at an early age. Like an old antique, he also wears a pair of thick glasses to cover his long eyelashes and black eyes. He is more and more old-fashioned among the outstanding appearance of Wen family men.
Sure enough, He YuanDong said: "You are the ugly duckling."
WenYa stared at him as if he had not heard him.
This reaction was somewhat dull in He YuanDong's opinion. He looked at WenYa for a while and said: "Gee, what age is it now, still wear glasses?"
There is no such thing as nearsightedness. Since the development of science and technology, even the heart transplant has a nearly 100% success rate. What's more, it is only a small myopia operation. Everyone wears glasses merely for fashion.
However, WenYa's glasses are very hideous. It's almost covering his face, as if it is a style a few centuries ago, so awkward to see.
He YuanDong could not help but reach out and took off his glasses from his nose. He gazed at him for a moment and said with satisfaction, "There are more pleasing now."
WenYa gave a glimpse at his glasses and blinked involuntarily. There's no angry on his face.
When He YuanDong saw him still indifferent, like a lifeless ragdoll, he could not help but get angry. His tone sounded extremely bad: "So quiet ah, if I've married you, I'm sure I'll make you cry on the bed."
Whereas WenYa didn't expect him to say such things, his cheeks are blushing and his big eyes filled with surprise.
He YuanDong was satisfied with his reaction and asked him: "still a child ah?"
WenYa stands up.
He stared at the man in front of him, saying a word: "Please take that back."
He YuanDong raises his eyebrow. His temper is arrogant. He always does what he wants to do, and he never takes back his words. But the youth in front of him is quite funny.
It's like an ugly duckling that could only bluff.
He lifted his lips slightly, and studied the young man's face profoundly: "Angry? Your red face looks quite delicious. Unfortunately, it is not like your big brother."
Wenya heard him mention his older brother, his eyes widened.
The last time in the hospital, He YuanDong stared at him for a long time, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He straightened out of the ward and brushed him off.
He thought that He YuanDong heart was desperately hopeless. Thus he would not take the initiative to mention his older brother. But he did not expect....
"I know you like my big brother, and I don't want to marry you." WenYa had many words to say, but in the end, he only said this sentence.
He YuanDong looked forward and then narrowed his eyes, he said: "In that case, I must marry you." His mouth hooks into a beautiful arc. "It is not bad to find a substitute. Especially if this alternative is his brother, really will be better."
WenYa squeezed his hands into fists.
From childhood till now, there were not many people in contact with him. He never knows that there was such a... shameless person in this world.
He YuanDong must not be suffering, plus he is so wicked and arrogant. He would not hesitate to pass the pain on him.
He dropped his eyes and decided to ignore the man who was like a madman.
