My grandfather always said that I was a persistent child. He also said that throughout history, any persistent child would be able to accomplish something earth-shaking.
I don't remember doing anything big since I was a child, but I have been secretly studying my grandfather's magic, even though he repeatedly warned me that magic is dangerous.
But I persist as always!
I shook the water off my hair and stuffed the last piece of bread into my mouth. After eating and drinking, it was time to get down to business.
Having successfully developed the "Super Crossing Magic Spirit", the next task is to go back to the past.
Where should I go back to first?
Let me think about it!
Yes, Jin Yixin always said that I was a fool who only knew how to make trouble and mess things up.
Okay, okay, didn’t I just accidentally break his favorite pot of azalea?
Now, I will go back to that time and let history repeat itself. As long as I make a small change, the flower pot will not be broken by me. I will use this opportunity to change his view of me as a troublemaker!
Everything was ready. I opened the potion, chanted the spell, and repeated in my mind the place I was going to.
Time: 12:29 p.m. on a Saturday half a year ago
Location: My balcony
Event: My clothes floated onto the balcony of Jin Yixin's house
OK!
"I am the most beautiful girl in the universe, Huangfu Xiacao..."
I recited this silently three times, then counted to three in my heart, and finally opened my eyes.
The sunflower on the table, the teddy bear on the bed, the half-cup of juice I just drank, the time on my phone... nothing has changed. I'm dizzy. Everything is right. Why am I still here?
No, try again...
"I am the most beautiful girl in the universe, Huangfu Xiacao..."
"I am Huangfu Xiacao, the most beautiful girl in the super universe..."
Oh, it seems, it seems, I just chanted the spell wrong, let me do it again. I performed it again carefully from beginning to end, but when I opened my eyes, I was still sitting on my bed, and the leaves outside were flipping and jumping in the mirror opposite...
What went wrong?
Everything is carried out according to what is recorded in grandpa’s notes!
"Xia Cao, is Huangfu Xia Cao here?" My mother was calling outside the door like she was calling a soul, and she seemed very anxious.
Oh my god, why can't she be a little gentler? Why is she always so fierce and vicious? I just pretended not to hear her and continued to chant my spell.
With a bang, my mother pushed the door open. Seeing my weird look, she shouted in surprise, "Huangfu Xiacao, what are you doing here? Are you secretly practicing magic again?"
Next, my mother started scolding me without waiting for me to say anything.
I raised my head and said with a silly smile, "No way! I am practicing yoga. I am practicing meditation."
"You're playing tricks on me again! Come on, someone's looking for you outside." Mom looked at me suspiciously, and just as she reached the door, she turned back and urged, "Hurry up, they said they have something urgent to talk to you about."
"Who is it?" I asked reluctantly. I hadn't finished my work yet, so how could I have the time to deal with trivial matters!
"Hurry up, don't wait for me to say it for the third time!" My mother is always resolute and has a fiery temper that is really unbearable. So I hurriedly stepped on my slippers and rushed down in front of my mother.
Oh no, why is he here?
Is he asking me for compensation? Didn't I just accidentally break his phone?
Besides, it’s not my responsibility. It’s his fault for showing off his new phone in front of his classmates!
I was muttering to myself and standing at the stairs, not knowing whether to go up or down.
Chu Yuanxi was standing at the door. When he heard my footsteps, he slowly raised his head and smiled habitually: "You daredevil, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
Are you really here to claim compensation? I don't have any money. I've already spent all my pocket money this month, and now I have to borrow money to get by, woo woo...
Alas, it's my own fault! I secretly practiced magic last month and turned my grandfather's pipe into a cobra. So my grandfather mercilessly deducted my pocket money for half a month and put me under real-time surveillance to prevent me from sneaking into his room.
"Then you guys chat first, I'll go out to buy some things. Yuanxi, stay for dinner later!" Mom smiled like a flower. I really don't know what's going on. It seems like mom likes Chu Yuanxi very much, and sometimes even more than she likes me.
After my mother left, I immediately pulled a long face, stood in front of him very reluctantly, stared at the ceiling and said: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, I'm busy!"
Chu Yuanxi still had a smile on his face. After hesitating for a long time, he took out a pink card from behind and handed it to me.
I looked down at the strange but beautiful, fragrant card.
Is this a court summons?
Alas, it's impossible. Chu Yuanxi and I have been desk mates for more than a year. How could he do such a thing?
"Don't worry, this is not a poisonous snake, nor a bomb. This is an invitation to my birthday party. I hope you can come to attend. You know, I live next door, it's very convenient for you to come." Chu Yuanxi's smile was a little stiff, and he was a little cautious when he spoke, and looked at me unnaturally. I wrinkled my nose, took the card, threw it on the table, and then turned and walked upstairs.
"Daredevil, will you come?" Chu Yuanxi's voice trembled a little, as if he was looking forward to it.
I shuddered suddenly. Could it be that what Luo Xiaoman said was true, that Chu Yuanxi liked me? That's why he helped me again and again, even when I broke such an expensive phone, he acted as if nothing had happened!
Impossible, my heart began to beat. Although I am the most beautiful girl in the universe, Huangfu Xiacao, I have never been kind to him.
The reason was simple: he always showed up at the most inopportune times. And when we first met, he kicked the football into my body, causing me to fall into the stinking ditch in disgrace.
What’s even more infuriating is that he actually lives in Jin Yixin’s house. Every time I confess my love to Jin Yixin or get close to Jin Yixin, he always shows up at inappropriate times, making Jin Yixin think that I’m a playboy.
God knows how pure, kind, lovely, and...
Forget it, never mind, who cares if he likes me or not! Besides, Luo Xiaoman doesn't study hard from morning to night, she just likes to gossip about others.
"You daredevil, the time is 7 o'clock in the evening on the 20th, at my house, and many other classmates will be here at that time." Chu Yuanxi's voice came again.
Without even turning my head, I said lazily, "Let's see if I'm free by then! But I'll still text you and wish you a happy birthday."
There was no movement behind me for a long time.
Am I too heartless? After all, we were desk mates, and he had helped me several times.
Just like last month, when someone bullied me, and the week before, when someone posted notes on me, it was a good thing he showed up in time.
Also, when I had no money to eat, he treated me to a bowl of beef bone noodles.
As the saying goes, if someone gives you a drop of water, you should repay them with a spring of water, but I...
Also, I broke his phone recently, but he didn’t ask me to compensate him. He even said it was none of my fault and that it was just his own carelessness.
In view of all the above, I suddenly felt that I was a very conscienceless person.
So, when I turned into my room, I secretly glanced at him out of guilt.
He just stood there, motionless, with a lost expression on his face. Then he muttered something, clenched his fists, stretched out his hand and pulled the corners of his mouth. After pulling, he looked up and said to me upstairs: "Daredevil, I hope you can come to my birthday party, because I have something important to say to you."
"Uh..." I stammered, "Okay, I'll try my best when the time comes!"
After hearing my answer, Chu Yuanxi smiled again and left automatically.
I reached out and scratched my messy hair. It was so strange. Chu Yuanxi had been acting weird lately.
He can't really like me!
I shuddered again. Impossible, impossible, he and I are not from the same planet.
Forget it, never mind, I should just do my own thing.
I sat on the bed and made all the preparations, but, just like before, no matter how I chanted the spell, I couldn't cross over successfully.
Take a deep breath, and take another deep breath——
I remained calm and focused, as if I was the only one in the world. Then I followed the method my grandfather recorded, put aside all distractions, silently chanted the spell in my mind, and thought about where I wanted to go.
finally--
A bright light flashed, and I shifted time and space magnificently!
I did it! That's great!
With a "bang", I landed safely. Looking around, the room looked familiar, and the dress on the balcony looked familiar too.
There is a cartoon doll painted on the front, and a small pocket on the right.
Oh my god! How embarrassing!
I actually forgot that those were my underwear!
Oh no! If I had known this would happen, I would have changed the wind direction and let that beautiful, ladylike skirt be blown over by the wind.
However, it seems that the "Super Crossing Magic Spirit" can only allow me to successfully return to a certain point in the past, but cannot allow me to change the direction of the wind!
Forget it, never mind all that. Let me first change the impression of me as a troublemaker in Jin Yixin’s mind.
I lay on the sofa, looking at the annoying underwear floating around, and began to worry. Last time I tried to get it up with a hook, but I didn't get the underwear back, but accidentally broke a pot of azalea on their balcony.
I can't use the hook again this time!
I thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a plan - to call Jin Yixin's home.
Yes, I called his house and asked him to send my clothes back so that I wouldn’t accidentally damage his flowers.
hey-hey……
I smiled happily, picked up the phone on the coffee table and quickly dialed a familiar number.
But, but——
Why can’t the call be dialed?
There is no problem with the phone line, the receiver makes a beeping sound when you pick it up, and every key press is fine.
But why can’t the call be dialed?
There was a loud bang, and I shivered. What happened? Who came to my house without even knocking, and just barged in so brazenly, trying to scare me to have a heart attack?
I looked up and glared at him fiercely, but the person who appeared in front of me made my heart tremble violently.
A turkey head, wearing a white T-shirt and gray shorts, holding a blue postal express paper bag in his hand.
"boom--"
A bomb exploded in my head, and my brain stopped functioning for a few seconds, and then -
"Hey, you reckless guy, do you think this is your home? You are lying on the sofa so arrogantly. It would be fine if you just lay there, but you are also dialing other people's phones randomly. Do you know that your behavior is very uncultured?" Chu Yuanxi scolded me as soon as he saw me.
He looked like a fire-breathing turkey, with his eyebrows in a convex shape and his eyes wide open, revealing murderous intent.
Oops, I must have traveled to the wrong place! I looked around dejectedly. There was a huge ink painting of Jiangnan on the wall, and rows of photos of football stars hung in the corner... If this isn't Jin Yixin's house, then whose house is this? Ah, I was going back to my own balcony!
"What are you looking at, you reckless guy? Don't think that I will be polite to you just because you are a new neighbor who moved into this apartment yesterday." Chu Yuanxi shouted loudly, and he became more and more excited. He never gave me a good look from beginning to end.
I looked up, glared at him fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "You think I like looking at you, turkey, big turkey!"
Chu Yuanxi raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, looked down at me, and said sarcastically: "Whatever you say, you are a reckless bastard, stupid and dumb, even a toddler is better than you, an unbalanced reckless bastard."
Uh, why does he get more and more excited the more he talks? When did I become unbalanced?
Really, didn’t I just travel to the wrong place and was lying on someone’s sofa dialing the phone?
Calling me a daredevil is too much! I don't accept it. I really don't accept it.
I pulled the corner of my mouth and jumped up from the sofa. As expected, standing in front of him, I really had no advantage.
If we have a quarrel, who is afraid of whom?
I rolled up my sleeves, stood on the sofa, put my hands on my hips, looked down at him, and said unyieldingly, "Who is the reckless one? You turkey, big turkey, sooner or later, game eaters will catch you, roast you, and make feather dusters out of your feathers, leaving you to live in dust forever."
I said, and let out a long breath. Humph, when it comes to eloquence, no one can beat me.
Chu Yuanxi's not-so-big eyes first narrowed into a slit, and then gradually widened. After I finished speaking, he was almost furious, and his eyes were bigger than camel bells.
It seems that my words have quite a destructive power!
Hehe, I smiled proudly...
Wait, what's that expression on his face? His teeth were clenched and his hands were clenched into fists. Then, with a whoosh, he reached towards my nose...
No way, you want to hit someone when you can’t win in an argument, and hit a girl?
Beat a beautiful girl who is as pretty as a flower and young and pretty?
Does he still have any humanity?
I suddenly had the urge to run away. Because I am Huangfu Xiacao, how can I be beaten so easily!
However, I knew that it was impossible to escape, so I was not to be outdone and prepared for battle. If he really dared to attack me, I would immediately make him regret it -
But--
Suddenly, his hand turned 180 degrees in front of me, from a fist to a claw, and finally grabbed my collar and lifted me off the sofa.
With a "bang", I landed safely.
ah--
I'm so angry, so angry, why did you pull me down from above? No, I can't just look up and argue with him, it will hurt my neck, and I won't look powerful at all.
So, without saying anything, I stood on the sofa again.
"Hey, you reckless guy, do you know where you are standing?" Chu Yuanxi pulled my arm unhappily.
I turned my head and said in the same unpleasant tone: "Of course I know, it's just a sofa, right? How can I be taller than you if I'm not standing on the sofa?"
Oops, oops, I let it slip!
"Puchi——" Chu Yuanxi couldn't help laughing, but soon realized his mistake, so he quickly put away his smile, coughed twice, and said seriously, "Since you knew it was a sofa, you shouldn't have stood on it."
"I--"
No matter what, I'm going to stand there. If you don't let me, I'm going to stand there anyway. So I shook off his arm, stood there again, put my hands on my hips, looked down at him, and said proudly, "I'm going to stand there, what's wrong? I like standing here very much, because..."
With a "creaky" sound, two figures came into my sight. I quickly closed my mouth, swallowed the rest of the words, and quickly jumped off the sofa.
Oops, I was so madly arguing with this turkey-head that I forgot about my own business. Now, Jin Yixin has seen my unladylike and tough side.
I stole another glance at Su Qianlan next to Jin Yixin, wow...
Why does she always look so ladylike? She always stands beside Jin Yixin so tenderly and sweetly, like a noble blue-and-white porcelain, while I am like a glass bottle filled with low-quality liquor.
No, I must not let Jin Yixin's impression of me be further reduced.
I quickly straightened my clothes, put on a sweet and lovely look, and looked at him who was getting closer and closer.
However, Jin Yixin's eyes seemed a little scary, and his gaze passed me and fell on the sofa. I slowly turned my head and saw two black footprints on the snow-white sofa cushion.
Oops--
Without thinking, I reached out and hugged the sofa cushion in my arms, then ran to the balcony.
I clapped, I clapped hard, I clapped with all my might.
What happened?
Why can’t I take a picture of the dust on top of it?
I picked up the sofa cushions and shook them vigorously. The more I shook, the more likely the dust would fall off.
I don't believe it can't be cleaned up.
A crisp and sharp "plop" sound suddenly rang out when I was shaking the sofa cushion.
I slowly lowered my head and saw a deep red flowerpot broken into several pieces on the ground. The soil in the pot, the petals in the soil, and the water that had not completely seeped in were slowly spreading under my feet.
Boom boom
My mind went blank for a moment. But shouldn't the flowerpot have been accidentally hooked off when I was crocheting clothes?
How could it have fallen at this time?
I blinked, blinked again, slowly raised my head, and met a pair of murderous eyes.
Jin Yixin's expression was as if he wanted to eat me alive.
"Hehe..." I pulled the corners of my mouth, cold sweat broke out, my hands kept shaking, and I said stiffly with my lips pulling, "I, I didn't mean to do it, I really didn't mean to do it, I didn't expect the flower pot to fall down by itself..."
"Enough!" Jin Yixin shouted, and I immediately shut my mouth and stood aside dejectedly.
I looked around and happened to see Chu Yuanxi's gloating face. I was in such a state, but he was still so happy. Does he have any sympathy?
Chu Yuanxi's impression of me plummeted. I looked up with a sad face and glanced at Jin Yixin weakly. He and Su Qianlan were bending over to pick up the broken flower pot.
Looking at his trembling hands, I knew how important this flowerpot was to him.
Wow, it seems that my first time traveling through time was quite a failure!
Chu Yuanxi, I hate you, I hate you, I wish I could pull out your tendons and peel off your skin!
Woo!
Suddenly, I saw a small, soft object fall into my hand. Su Qianlan said calmly, "This is your clothes. Take it and go back quickly!"
I looked at her pitifully, opened my mouth, and then turned to look at Jin Yixin beside me. Oh my god, that... how important is this flowerpot that I broke to him! He looked like he wanted to kill me.
"What are you looking at, you reckless idiot? Take your things and get out of here!" Chu Yuanxi said with a gloating look, with his arms folded across his chest and leaning against the door frame.
I glared at him with gritted teeth. It was all his fault. I would definitely take revenge.
I walked up to him angrily and glared at him unconvinced. Chu Yuanxi, however, looked smug and waved his hands to chase me away like a fly: "What are you looking at? Go away, you reckless bastard. You are not welcome here."
"Hmph, what's so great about that—" I snorted through gritted teeth. At the same time, I raised my right foot, aimed at the target, and stepped down on the instep of his foot with all my might.
I'll kick you left and right . Anyway, my plan failed this time, so the more I step on you, the more advantage I can gain.
"Ah——" Chu Yuanxi's miserable scream trembled and filled the entire room.
I looked at Chu Yuanxi's face twisted in pain with pride and said with a smile, "Well, Turkey classmate, we'll see you next time."
After I said that, I made a face at him and left happily.
"Reckless man, remember this, next time I will make you fall flat on your face! It won't be as simple as letting you fall into the stinky ditch, but directly into the cesspool." Chu Yuanxi's exasperated voice came, and one could imagine how he felt at the moment.
I turned around and smiled at him, saying sweetly, "Okay, I'll be at your service anytime!"
With a "bang", I slammed the door shut.
"Humph, Turkey Head, take care of yourself first. There will be a next time. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
I walked out the door holding my underwear, but I regretted it after a few steps.
With a "smack", I slapped my forehead hard again. How did I come out like this? What should I do with Jin Yixin?
Oh, it seems that this plan has failed. Where should I start next?
Resentment!
Forget it, let’s go back and make other plans!
After thinking it over, I still couldn't accept it. I worked so hard to create the "Super Crossing Magic Spirit", how could it be useless?
So on a sunny morning, I once again implemented my plan of crossing.
The time, place and events are all the same as before.
Last time was a mistake, this time, I believe I will succeed. I must take off the hat of "dare-hearted" and let Jin Yixin look at me with new eyes.
The location was not wrong this time, but I returned a little early.
I was sitting on the balcony of my house, looking at the stopwatch. The wind was about to blow in half a minute.
When the wind blows, my clothes will be blown onto his balcony.
Ten, nine, eight... three, two...
Oh no, bad luck, I almost forgot, last time it was my underwear that was blown, I must change it this time, I can’t let such a private thing blow over.
But--
A gust of wind blew, and before I had time to change my clothes, the cute pair of underwear with cartoon patterns and big pockets flew up again in the wind, and after several ups and downs, it finally landed on the balcony of Jin Yixin's house.
I gritted my teeth and made up my mind. Never mind. I would get it back anyway. I might as well just treat it as a cute skirt.
I held a clothes-drying fork that could be pulled out a long way, stretched out my arm, and tried to see if I could reach my underwear without touching the azalea. Well, it seemed possible. But if I just got it back like this, wouldn't it be too worthwhile? Everything happened without anyone noticing, leaving no trace, so Jin Yixin's impression of me didn't change at all.
If the bad ones are gone, the good ones will be gone too!
I am so confused, why is my life so miserable? Many girls in my class have boys slipping notes, writing love letters, sending emails or text messages to express their love, but why am I, Huangfu Xiacao, a cute and smart Earth girl, so miserable?
I have never received a love letter since I was a child. The closest I received was two years ago when I was in the third grade of junior high school. I clearly remember that morning, when I arrived in the classroom, I found a pink envelope on the table.
I was stunned for three seconds, and then when I realized what it was, I immediately broke into a smile, my heart was filled with joy, and I was so excited that I couldn't control myself!
But who would have known that when I opened it, I suddenly felt like a deflated ball.
It turned out that the love letter was written to my desk mate!
Oh, how miserable!
I reached out and touched my cheek, looking at the smooth face reflected in the glass window. It was beautiful and elegant, without even a single pimple. Why was there no one appreciating it?
Especially Jin Yixin, we have known each other for such a long time, but he is not attracted to me. What's more, he always chases me away like a fly, and he is reluctant to let me into the house.
Uh—wait!
I was so busy being sad that I forgot to put my underwear back on.
Huh?
I clearly remember that it blew onto the balcony opposite just now, why is it now...
"Ah——" I couldn't help but scream, and quickly stretched out the clothes-drying fork in my hand. The white shadow was sinking continuously, and I had to get it back. It shouldn't be blown away by the wind, it should fall on the balcony of Jin Yixin's house, and then wait for me to rescue it.
What's going on? Where's my fork?
I looked at my hand, and my heart immediately started beating wildly.
Oops, I was so busy that I accidentally tripped over the fork...
My eyes widened. Oh my god, no way! The fork was stuck in the azalea flower on Jin Yixin's balcony. The situation was that if I pulled it hard, the flower would fall straight down and never belong to you again!
In that case, wouldn’t my second time traveling still end in failure ?
No, no, but what should I do now?
Beads of sweat kept appearing on my forehead...
Should I call their house now?
I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. I turned left and right, wishing I could just find a piece of tofu to crash into!
Stop! Now is not the time to be sad, the key is to come up with a solution quickly.
With a creaky sound, the door on the balcony next door suddenly opened, and then a white figure walked out.
I pulled the corner of my mouth and looked at that person, the smile on my face froze instantly. How come it was Chu Yuanxi who came out?
God, are you mistaken? Where is my Jin Yixin?
Why do you always send passerby A and passerby B to meet me?
"Hey, you daredevil, what are you doing there?" Chu Yuanxi asked with his head tilted, looking like he deserved a beating.
Really, who allowed him to call me a daredevil, and called me so naturally, as if I knew him very well? Wasn't it the day I moved into this apartment that I was kicked by their ball and ended up falling into the stinky ditch?
Well--
It seems, it seems that according to the time, the incident happened yesterday at this moment, because now it should be the second day that I have moved into this apartment!
No wonder everything went wrong afterwards, it turned out to be because of that unpleasant incident on the first day. It’s really a narrow road for enemies.
Alas, it doesn't seem right. We... Oh, this morning, when I was introducing myself as a freshman, he kept making fun of my name in the classroom. I will never forget such a day, never forget it. Under his influence, the classmates in the class became weird as soon as they heard my name, and some even called me "Chongmei".
Even when we were on duty, everyone wrote "Chong Meimei" on the blackboard...
For a long time afterwards, people kept asking me, "Xia Cao, it's almost winter, when will you start turning into a worm?"
Woo woo, I am the lovely Huangfu Xiacao, why did I have such a tragic experience?
"What's the matter? If you don't say anything, it means you are guilty! Do you have a voyeur problem, so you stand there and peek at us?" Chu Yuanxi kept talking with an expression that asked him to be beaten, while he was lying on the balcony, fiddling with my fork in a nonchalant manner.
What a guy!
"Hey, stop it! If you keep messing with that pot of flowers, it will fall." My heart was in my throat. Not only did Chu Yuanxi not take the fork down, he kept flicking it.
As a result, the entire fork was shaking like a fan, and the other end that was stuck in the flowerpot was also shaking dangerously.
Damn it, he must have done this on purpose!
When Chu Yuanxi heard what I said, he not only did not stop his hand movements, but the amplitude of his movements increased.
He looked up at me and smiled, "Why should I listen to you?"
"I--" I blinked. Really, why am I at a loss for words when it comes to the crucial moment?
Ding, got it!
I looked up at him and said, "That's my clothes fork. You are not allowed to play with it."
It's so embarrassing. No matter how I listen to this, it doesn't sound powerful enough.
Chu Yuanxi curled his lips, looked at me, and continued to laugh: "Why is your fork on my balcony?"
"I—" I looked at him and started to get angry again. Really, this guy always has a way of making me speechless.
Okay, I admit it.
"I just accidentally stuck it on your flowerpot."
I looked up at him, hoping that he would be kind enough to give me the fork.
Sudden--
"Whose underwear is this? How did it float to our balcony?" An auntie's sharp voice pierced the sky and hit my eardrums.
I looked down and saw some middle-aged woman downstairs shaking my super cute panties and screaming at the top of her lungs.
With her voice louder than the hawkers' cries, "Swish, swish, swish..." people from several floors popped out in an instant like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Moreover, everyone is waiting to see how the owner of the underwear will appear.
Well……
No way!
How could I be so unlucky that the wind blew it there?
Chu Yuanxi looked down for a few seconds, then raised his head, looked at me and asked with a smile: "Is that yours?"
My face suddenly changed like a chameleon, red, white, blue, purple, and I felt the temperature of my cheeks rise and fall. I gritted my teeth and rushed downstairs at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
I was so angry. This wind was just against me. It blew everywhere but just onto the balcony of a big-mouthed auntie. And she was shouting in front of so many people. It was obvious that she wanted to embarrass me.
huff huff huff huff——
I finally ran to the door of my aunt's house, knocked hard, and said breathlessly: "Aunt, this, this is mine!"
The aunt looked at me, blinked her eyes, handed me my cute underwear, and said with great regret: "What a pity! How can such a beautiful girl be a stutterer!"
What? Stuttering?
The aunt sighed helplessly again, touched my head and said, "Little girl, remember to use a clip to hold the clothes firmly when you hang them out to dry. Otherwise, if the wind is strong, they will be blown away in an instant..."
I turned around and left without waiting for the aunt to finish. Oh my god, she is the reincarnation of Tang Monk!
I ran upstairs and could still hear the aunt talking there.
When I came back panting, Chu Yuanxi was still lying on the balcony, looking at me who was as tired as a pug, and said with a smile: "Hey, you rash guy, you are really rash!"
I looked up and glared at him with gritted teeth, stretching my arm out to get my fork back.
But, strangely, I could reach it just now, but now I can't? Is it because the distance between the two balconies has widened, or my arms have become shorter?
"Hey, you daredevil, why are you called Xia Cao? Why is your cousin called Dong Chong?" Chu Yuanxi seemed to be in a good mood. He picked up my clothes drying fork and shook it left and right.
"Give it back to me!" I jumped up, but soon fell down due to gravity.
"Give it to me!" I yelled angrily.
"No, no, haha..." Chu Yuanxi still shook my fork with a malicious look.
I'm so angry, I'm so angry!
I turned around, looked left and right, and finally fixed my eyes on my feet. Well, I won't be polite to people like you who bully me.
I didn't care about anything and took off my shoes, then aimed at the target and threw it out with a "whoosh".
Chu Yuanxi quickly dodged to the side, and then a crisp sound was heard.
"You deserve it!" I clapped my hands and glanced triumphantly at the disheveled Chu Yuanxi.
But--
Something seems to be wrong. The azalea on the balcony seems to have...
Killed in action?
I couldn't help but tremble, and the smile on my face froze instantly.
Jin Yixin's angry eyes, as if he wanted to strangle me to death, immediately flashed through my mind.
"You, you, you broke the azaleas that Jin Yixin was growing!" Chu Yuanxi held my shoes in one hand and my fork in the other, his eyes wide open, and shouted in surprise.
"Jin Yixin, come out quickly! Someone broke your flowerpot! Jin Yixin, someone broke your flowerpot!" Chu Yuanxi shouted loudly into the room.
Ahhh, Chu Yuanxi, this bastard, actually filed the complaint first!
It was clearly him who accidentally broke the flowerpot when he was dodging my shoes just now. How could he accuse me of doing it?
And I'm so far away, how is that possible?
I was furious, but when a murderous light appeared, I couldn't help but shiver.
Jin Yixin's eyes, which couldn't be colder, swept towards me, then he frowned and looked at the mess on the ground. Chu Yuanxi exaggerated the whole process of the flower pot falling down.
"No, it's not like that. It's really not what Chu Yuanxi said. He was the one who broke the flower. It was obviously him!" I explained hurriedly, but Jin Yixin didn't even look at me. He just stared at the broken flowerpots on the ground and gently bent down to pick them up.
Seeing this, Chu Yuanxi couldn't bear it and whispered to comfort him: "Well, it's okay, just change the flower pot."
Jin Yixin shook her head and said after a long while, "My mother planted this flower on my 12th birthday. She hoped that it would grow with me. It has been growing well over the years. If I change the flowerpot, what will it mean to me?"
Ah, no way! This flower, this flower was planted by his mother herself before she died?
No wonder, ever since I broke his pot of flowers the day after I moved into the apartment, he has been finding fault with me whenever he sees me.
No, if that’s the case, I can’t let this flower die heroically like this, I must bring it back to life.
So, I persevered and made the third journey.
Unlike the previous two times when I was blind and casual, this time I made a thorough plan in advance and wrote a detailed plan, if for no other reason than to change the fate of the azalea that was of great significance and was destroyed in my hands.
In the early morning, the bright sunshine shone on my forehead, and a big drop of sweat slid down from my head.
I stood on the balcony with a measuring tape, a hook, a phone, and of course my amulet. No matter what, I couldn't fail again this time.
Come on, come on!
I clenched my right hand into a fist, slapped it against my chest, and shouted, "I will succeed. I will take off the hat of 'daredevil' forever, take it off——"
Countless echoes streaked across the sky...
Finally, at the right time and in the right direction, my cute panties were blown up by the wind again and flew to the balcony opposite.
I picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number. After a beep, the call was connected immediately.
"Hello, is Jin Yixin home?" I asked cautiously. God knows how nervous I was at that moment.
"Who are you?" Chu Yuanxi's unhappy voice came from the microphone.
I was stunned for three seconds. What was going on? Why was Chu Yuanxi answering the phone?
I was feeling very nervous.
"Who is it? Why aren't you speaking?" Chu Yuanxi's voice rose several decibels.
"Well, it's okay, I dialed the wrong number!" I hung up the phone immediately.
It's terrible. How come Chu Yuanxi, this evil star, is everywhere? He was the one who connected the phone.
What should I do now?
Alas, it seems wrong. Why do I feel that in the past, he has appeared much more often than Jin Yixin? And no matter what strategy I use, the first person who appears in my sight is Chu Yuanxi.
Could it be that...
A picture suddenly appeared in my mind -
One Sunday morning.
"Alas, you will never escape from the clutches of one person in your life." Luo Xiaoman smiled mysteriously while holding the tarot cards. "This person has actually always been by your side. From the moment you met him, your life has been intertwined with him. You two are like weaving a web, and the web becomes thicker and thicker, and finally it cannot be torn apart."
Luo Xiaoman raised her round little face, came close to me with a smile, and said, "According to the Tarot cards, this person is——"
"Who is it? Jin Yixin?" I looked at the card with shining eyes and prayed in my heart: Almighty God, let me be with Jin Yixin!
Luo Xiaoman shook her head and said with a smile: "This person is Chu Yuanxi, the one you have always hated, despised and disliked the most."
I shuddered suddenly, looked at the card in Luo Xiaoman's hand doubtfully, pulled the corner of my mouth, and smiled stiffly: "I don't want to believe your nonsense, you just know how to fool me!"
Luo Xiaoman put the cards away disapprovingly, shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now, one day you will believe it, and that day is coming soon."
Is this day coming soon?
Are you talking about now?
I couldn't help but shiver several times. Chu Yuanxi and I... God, I don't want to do that. It's obvious that he and I don't get along.
But--
Why did he invite me to his birthday party and say he had something important to tell me?
Alas! I shook my head and shook off those messy thoughts. Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, don't let Chu Yuanxi's appearance mess up my long-planned plan.
"I am the most beautiful girl in the universe, Huangfu Xiacao..." Suddenly my cell phone rang. I glanced at it and my heart began to beat irregularly.
Chu Yuanxi's ghost is still lingering around!
Suddenly, with a "pop" sound, Chu Yuanxi's white figure appeared on the balcony opposite.
He held the phone in his hand, looked at me, and said with a malicious smile: "Hey, daredevil, we meet again!"
"Who are you talking about? We are us!" I rolled my eyes. Why is this person so fond of making friends?
"Why were you calling just now?" Chu Yuanxi asked jokingly, lying on the balcony, fiddling with the leaves of the azalea pot.
Hey, how did he know it was me who called?
Isn't this the second day after my family moved in? I don't remember telling him my home phone number on the first day!
"Tell me the truth, you reckless bastard. What on earth do you want from Jin Yixin?" Chu Yuanxi suddenly asked. His piercing eyes scanned me like X-rays, making me feel uncomfortable all over.
I lowered my head guiltily and muttered, "It's nothing. I was just trying to see if my phone was installed."
"Oh, is that so?" Chu Yuanxi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly -
He was holding something in his hand and shaking it. I looked up and my heart started beating again. Oh my God, someone come and hit me with a hammer and let me die! I have no face to live anymore!
"Whose is this? How did it get to my balcony?" Chu Yuanxi asked sarcastically, glancing at me from time to time.
"But it's so strange, who would wear such ridiculous underwear? And there's such a big pocket, do you want to put the money here? How funny, haha, ah ha ha... What's even funnier is that it has four corners. Well, let me see what the pattern is on it!" Chu Yuanxi took my underwear and looked at it left and right, and finally burst into laughter again.
My face immediately turned red all the way to my neck, like a boiled shrimp.
I really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. This damn Chu Yuanxi, he must have done it on purpose.
"It's really funny! This must not be yours! How could a reckless guy like you buy such funny underwear? But it also seems that only a reckless guy like you would buy such a thing!" Chu Yuanxi was like a detective who was not doing his job, speculating randomly.
I told myself to stay calm, and calm again. Facing this person who only makes me angry, I must stay extremely calm. I stood on the balcony, holding a clothes-drying fork in my hand, turning it round and round.
I hope to find a solution soon and not be bullied by this arrogant Chu Yuanxi.
With a "bang", my head lost control due to spinning too many times and hit the wall heavily.
What’s even more infuriating is that, while my body was extremely unbalanced, the fork in my hand was shaking around and seemed to hit something. Then I heard a “crash” sound of something being knocked over.
"Hahaha! Oh my god, you reckless guy, even if this shabby pair of underwear is yours, there is no need for you to be so depressed and bang your head against the wall!" Chu Yuanxi shouted exaggeratedly, laughing so hard that he fell forward and backward.
I shook my head which was full of stars, climbed up from the ground, and glared at Chu Yuanxi fiercely.
But, but——
The man I was glaring at was just a reflection in the glass.
I turned half a circle again. What happened? Why did Chu Yuanxi become two?
"Hey, you reckless guy, are you okay? Do you want me to call 120? It's free!" Chu Yuanxi said gloatingly, still shaking my underwear, as if waving a white flag of surrender to someone.
Woohoo…
I'm so angry, I'm so angry!
But who knew, before I could figure out the direction Chu Yuanxi was in, my feet suddenly slipped and I fell heavily to the ground.
I just felt like my whole body was fixed to the ground. I had no strength at all and couldn't move at all.
It took me a long time to catch my breath, but the slightest movement made my whole body hurt like hell.
Woo, wow, I touched my butt that was about to be broken in two, and struggled to get up, but I couldn't do it. Could it be that I broke my butt?
I had a sad face and felt heartbroken. I, Huangfu Xiacao, had never done anything wrong, so why did God punish me like this?
"Hey, you're so heavy!" Chu Yuanxi's voice suddenly came from above my head. Before I could turn around, I felt a pair of hands under my armpits, and then I was pulled up with force.
With a "bang", my butt hit something hard again, and I grimaced in pain, with stars in my eyes. Who is this person? He came over the balcony not to save me, but to throw me, who was seriously injured, onto the chair so cruelly!
"Huh!" Chu Yuanxi let out a long breath, put his hands on his hips, looked down at me and said, "You really should lose weight, you're so fat!"
"Who, who needs to lose weight?" I looked up and stammered, but my face turned red unconsciously.
"I don't know who I was holding just now! It must have been a pig. Only a pig can be that heavy! Ouch, my hand!" Chu Yuanxi said fearlessly. I grabbed something nearby and threw it at him.
I just don't believe I can't hit it. I'll hit it, I'll hit it hard, I'll make you say I'm fat, I'll make you laugh at me!
Chu Yuanxi dodged left and right, jumped up and down, just like a little monkey.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang. I looked over and saw that the azalea pot on the balcony opposite had disappeared again. Chu Yuanxi also froze in his place.
A bad thought flashed through my mind. Did I break the pot of flowers again?
Jin Yixin in the room followed the sound and appeared on the balcony, his face gradually darkening.
I can hear the sound of my upper and lower teeth fighting, and the sound of my heart beating fast.
Wow, why is that azalea so fragile? No matter how hard I try to avoid hurting it, it will eventually die in my hands, either directly or indirectly.
I hung my head and looked at my bare toes listlessly. It seemed that I had failed miserably again this time.
