I almost touched the moon

After hearing his words, Wen Song suddenly found it ridiculous. It was him who did not reply to messages or answer calls and stayed out all night, and it was also him who was questioning her here now.

Thinking of this, she sneered and said indifferently: "I called you around five in the morning yesterday. A girl answered the phone. She said you were sleeping and asked me who I was. She also told me that if I had something to talk to you about, she would let me know. So I told her to ask you if you were going to Izu. If not, I would go back to England.

I waited until 1pm, but you didn't reply to me. It just so happened that I had some problems with my project and had to go back to Oxford to deal with it, so I came back. Cheng Che, if you didn't know that I went back to the UK, you should ask the person who was with you last night why he didn't tell you what I said, instead of questioning me here why I went back to the UK without telling you. "

After hearing her words, Cheng Che felt it was absurd and unbelievable, and immediately explained: "No way, sister, I was drunk yesterday so I don't remember a little, but when I woke up, I was alone in the dormitory, absolutely no one was around, don't you believe me? Really not, I can't possibly do anything to let you down, is there some misunderstanding?"

"I don't know." Wen Song sighed and said to him calmly.

"I don't distrust you, and I know you wouldn't do that. But if you don't believe me, you can look at the call records from around 5 a.m. yesterday. The call was connected. As for who answered the phone in your room, I have no idea. Maybe you should ask your friends. I'm very tired now, and I have to go home and sleep. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. Bye."

"Don't be angry, honey." Cheng Che immediately understood why she suddenly returned to England, and became more flustered. "I'm sorry, sister. I accidentally drank too much yesterday and didn't hear the phone ring. Don't be too angry, okay? I'll come to Oxford now, you wait for me at home."

"No need." Wen Song shook her head. After a good sleep, she felt better and less irritable. "The closing ceremony will be held in a few days. Aren't you the flag bearer? Your own business is more important. I'm really tired these days. I just want to rest at home alone."

Cheng Che was still worried, so he asked carefully, "Baby, are you really not angry with me anymore? I was really wrong. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ignored your call. I really don't know who the girl who was talking to you was. Sister, I'm sorry."

"I'm fine." Wen Song chuckled twice, indicating that he really didn't care. "Cheng Che, I'm very tired now. I just want to go home and sleep. Can we talk after I wake up? I'm hanging up. Bye."

After saying that, without waiting for Cheng Che's reply, she hung up the phone, quickly passed through customs and left the airport to go home.

Cheng Che heard the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone and suddenly felt very powerless. She said she was not angry. Was she not angry because of trust or because she didn't care?

He was alone in the room in silence for a long time. Suddenly he thought of something and called Jiang Xu. "Didn't you send me back to my room last night? Why did another girl come to my room later? What happened?"

"Ah..." Jiang Xu seemed to have just woken up, his voice was a little vague, he yawned and said,

"I don't know. Zilang and I sent you back to your room and then we left. Brother Cheng, I also drank too much last night. The guys on the speed skating team were heavy drinkers. I'm still dizzy now. Why don't you ask Zilang? Brother Cheng, what happened? You didn't drink too much last night... Oh, it's not a big deal. If sister-in-law asks about it, I'll cover for you. I'll say you were with me the whole night yesterday."

"Nothing happened, don't talk nonsense." Cheng Che said unhappily, and hesitated for a moment before saying to Jiang Xu, "I may have to leave early and will not attend the commendation meeting. Please help me deal with it. If the General Administration asks about it, just say that I suddenly fell ill and went back to Hangzhou to recuperate."

"What, Brother Cheng?" Jiang Xu immediately perked up after hearing what he said. "Brother Cheng, don't do anything stupid. You still have to be the flag bearer at the closing ceremony on the 18th. If you leave now, Sun Rongwu will definitely report to the General Administration that you left the team without reason during the Winter Olympics. If the situation gets serious, you will be fired!"

Cheng Che knew the seriousness of the problem, but now, he really didn't have the energy to think about it so much. He sighed and said, "I know about the flag bearer. I will ask Director Xu for leave. If anyone asks about me, just say I'm back in Hangzhou."

After chatting with Jiang Xu, Cheng Che called Song Zilang again. Fortunately, he didn't drink much last night and was still clear-headed.

Song Zilang recalled and said to Cheng Che, "As for girls, there seemed to be one. After I left, Li Shasha from the figure skating team said she made a cup of hangover tea and wanted to give it to you. I didn't think much about it and let her in. Brother, you wouldn't..."

"I do not have."

Cheng Che frowned after hearing this, and was suddenly a little angry and speechless, but in the final analysis, it was because he was drunk and unconscious that others took advantage of him. His upbringing also made it impossible for him to really lose his temper with a girl, so he could only pretend that he didn't know about it.

He quickly called Wen Song again. Her voice sounded a little tired, and he could sense her sleepiness even through the screen.

"Baby, are you home?"

"On the way." Wen Song's answer was still concise, and he seemed too lazy to say another word.

He carefully explained everything that happened last night, and finally said to Wen Song: "Sister, this is what happened, I really don't know anything. I'm sorry, sister, it's all my fault, I will never drink again. Honey, when you're done, let's go to Izu to soak in the hot springs and see the cherry blossoms, okay?"

“I know, I never doubted you. I think you shall get some rest now, so do I. See you in a while.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Today was a rare good day in the UK in winter, with clear skies and not even a trace of wind. On her way home, she looked at the calves playing on the farms on both sides of the road and suddenly felt very happy.

On her way home, she went to her favorite dessert shop and bought four kohlrabi and a cup of milk tea. When she got home, she filled the bathtub with hot water, lit a scented candle, put on a record, threw a lavender bath ball into the bathtub, and immersed herself in it.

Hot water enveloped her from all directions, and the soothing and light music of Bach's Goldberg Variations in G major played in her ears. The fatigue of the past two months was finally relieved at this moment, and Wen Song became in a good mood and even hummed a song.

She sighed inappropriately, closed her eyes and sank completely into the water. She was indeed more suited to living alone.

She slept for a very long time that night and did not wake up until around four o'clock the next afternoon. There was only a WeChat message from Cheng Che and a missed call on her phone.

When she saw the message, she sighed unconsciously.

[Song Song, do you still love me? ]

Wen Song smiled helplessly and replied, "Of course I love you, don't worry, I was just too tired yesterday and didn't want to talk."

After waking up, she ordered some Chinese takeout and ate a simple meal. Then she returned to the study to check the observation images sent back by the Chilean Observatory. When she saw that the comet's orbit had not deviated, she breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from her chair, and prepared to go back to her room and continue lying down.

However, at this moment, there was a sound of the door opening downstairs. Wen Song was startled, locked the door of the study, and turned off the light.

The only people who had the key to her house, besides her, were Cheng Che and the housekeeper. It was impossible for the housekeeper to come to her house without informing her in advance, and Cheng Che... Wen Song thought about it and immediately discarded this ridiculous idea. It was only the 16th, and Cheng Che had to attend the closing ceremony on the 18th, so he definitely couldn't come.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. She used the light from her phone to look around and found that she had nothing to protect herself with. If she called the police now, by the time the police arrived, the thief or criminal would have either committed the crime and fled, or had already killed her.

As she thought about this, she couldn't help but start complaining in her heart, "The security in the UK has been getting worse and worse recently, with burglaries happening so blatantly."

In desperation, she could only hold the computer keyboard in her hand and stick it to the door, ready to subdue the thief from behind when he reached the second floor.

She listened to the footsteps and judged that the person should have reached the door, so she opened the door immediately. However, she was so frightened when she saw the person that she almost dropped the keyboard to the ground.

"Ache? Why are you here?"

Cheng Che was also shocked when he saw her appearance, and asked in confusion: "BB, what are you doing? What are you doing?"

Wen Song let out a long sigh, put the keyboard aside and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were here? I thought there was a thief in the house."

Cheng Che couldn't help but laugh when he heard her words. He walked up to her, hugged her, and gently kissed her on the corner of her mouth. "So you want to subdue the criminals with this keyboard, my Wonder Woman."

"Aren't you going to attend the closing ceremony? Why did you suddenly come to Oxford?" Wen Song asked in confusion, but still put his arms around his waist, leaned into his arms, and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.

Cheng Che picked her up by the waist, kissed her, and whispered softly in her ear, "I'm afraid that if I don't come again, my wife will not want me anymore."
