Chapter 10: Standing on tiptoes can kiss happiness 04
"Have you packed it up yet?"
"Can you dawdle a little more?"
"Hey, bring less snacks. I won't help you get them."
"Tsk! You're going to settle down there, right?"
Early in the morning, Ju Chenxi started yelling at me like an old woman while I was packing my luggage.
"Oh, Xiaoxi, just let Xiaole clean up." Aunt Liu, who was picking vegetables in the kitchen, poked her head out and said to Ju Chenxi with a smile. Her face was filled with family happiness. Aunt Liu gave 100,000 likes to the news that Ju Chenxi and I were together. She said: Actually, I told your mother a long time ago that when you grow up, you will be my daughter-in-law.
In this way, such an ending is truly a happy one.
"That's right, huh, are you going to let me deal with him properly?" Aunt Liu has vented her anger, so I have to hit him back as well.
"Well, we have to hurry up. It will be dark if we delay any longer." Ju Chenxi was helpless. He couldn't win the argument with Aunt Liu and me, so he had to choose to "surrender".
"Okay, okay, I'll be there as soon as possible."
After answering Ju Chenxi, I continued to pack Ju Chenxi and my luggage like a little wife. Our destination was the old city where I first met Ju Chenxi, and the ancient swing.
It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to drive from the city where we live to the old city full of memories. The bumpy country mountain road makes it extremely uncomfortable for me, who has difficulty taking a car.
After driving for nearly 40 minutes, my chest began to feel stuffy and something in my throat seemed to be about to burst out. I tried to remain calm so as not to worry Ju Chenxi. However, cold sweat continued to pour out of my forehead and my hands began to tremble.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" The attentive Ju Chenxi quickly noticed something was wrong with me and asked me with concern.
"Well, a little, a little dizzy." I told him the truth, otherwise if I hid anything from Ju Chenxi, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Are you carsick?" Ju Chenxi asked as he touched my forehead with the back of his hand, then his own forehead, and then continued, "Why is your forehead so cold? Look, your lips are pale, and why are you sweating all over?"
"I've never had a good time riding in cars. I always thought the smell of gasoline was too bad." I said it with difficulty and without much strength. Based on my past experience, I was definitely carsick and wanted to vomit.
"Does your stomach feel uncomfortable? Do you feel like vomiting?" Ju Chenxi asked like a professional doctor.
"I feel a little nauseous. Now I have no strength at all and feel dizzy." I still truthfully described my current condition.
"Come, drink some water first." Ju Chenxi took out a bottle of mineral water from the backpack at his feet, opened the cap, supported my head with one hand, and handed the water to my mouth.
After drinking two sips of water, my stomach felt much cooler. I took a deep breath, but I actually inhaled all the stench in the car into my nostrils. It made me feel even worse, and I felt like vomiting at any moment.
"Ju Chenxi, I, I feel like I can't hold on any longer, I want to vomit ..." I swallowed hard and continued, "Otherwise, you can ask the driver to get a garbage bag, I can't hold on any longer."
Motion sickness and vomiting in a car are usually solved like this: the driver will prepare a plastic bag for you in advance to prevent vomiting due to bumps or personal motion sickness.
"Use a garbage bag? Wouldn't that be even more uncomfortable?" Ju Chenxi said, looking around the roadside, still mumbling something. I was immediately depressed. I didn't immediately ask the driver for a plastic bag, and I still had the leisure to look at the weird scenery. My girlfriend was so upset that she almost vomited.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Go quickly..." I made up my mind that when I recovered, I would definitely blow his head off for enjoying the scenery while I was feeling uncomfortable.
"Wait for me for a moment." Ju Chenxi gently leaned my head against the seat, then stood up and walked straight to the driver's seat , leaving me to growl behind him, "Hey, where are you going..."
I thought Ju Chenxi went to get a plastic bag from the driver, but unexpectedly, the car stopped. I heard Ju Chenxi smiled and said "thank you" to the driver, then he came back, picked up the 30L backpack filled with our belongings and luggage, rolled up his sleeves, and picked me up like a princess.
I opened my eyes wide and stared at him intently, my mind full of questions at this moment. We also got off the bus amid the strange looks and envious sighs of many tourists on the bus.
As soon as we got off the car, Ju Chenxi gently put me on the ground. A foul-smelling liquid went from my throat to my mouth, like a bullet about to be fired, and I vomited it out without paying attention. I immediately moved my body and vomited into the haystack next to me.
Just when I was feeling embarrassed with my face red after vomiting, Ju Chenxi came to my side, patted my back gently, and handed me a wet tissue.
"Come on, wipe it off."
"Stay away from me, it's dirty here." I felt disgusted by the dirty stuff I vomited, and I didn't want Ju Chenxi to get close to me, so I could only order him to stay away. But he didn't listen, and instead "imposed" the order on me.
"You've been vomiting, right? You're chasing me away. Hurry up and wipe your mouth." After saying that, without waiting for me to take a tissue to wipe my mouth, he spread out a wet tissue and carefully wiped my mouth, then handed me the mineral water, "Here, rinse your mouth."
This was the first time I had seen Ju Chenxi being so overbearing and taking care of me. I felt warmer in my heart. I didn't refuse any of Ju Chenxi's actions. I just listened to his orders obediently. If he asked me to drink water, I drank water. If he asked me to rinse my mouth, I rinsed my mouth. If he asked me to wipe with a tissue, I wiped with a tissue, like a well-behaved wife.
When I came to my senses, I found that the car had already gone out of our sight and the dust it raised was still floating in the air.
"What should I do? The car has left and we have no ride. It's all my fault..." Looking at the direction where the car was going away, I felt sad and blamed myself.
"Silly boy, just leave if you want to." Ju Chenxi shrugged, looking indifferent.
"Hey, if we leave we won't be able to reach the old city! Are we just going to die in this wilderness?"
"I'm really worried about your IQ. Hey, how come I was poisoned by you?"
"Hey, what are you talking about? How can I be poisonous?" Ju Chenxi always leaves me confused.
"To like you is to be poisoned by you."
"It's such a late hour and you're still talking nonsense..." Although I was blaming Ju Chenxi for his untimely "confession", my heart was already filled with honey and was so sweet.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. But, do you feel better now?" Ju Chenxi quickly changed the subject.
“I feel much more comfortable now.”
"Then let's get ready and wait to set off."
"Waiting to go?"
"Well, don't you want to reach the old city today? Just sit here and wait for me."
"What are you going to do?" I asked puzzledly.
"Shh, just stay here quietly, be good." Ju Chenxi patted my shoulder, gave me a mischievous smile, then walked straight forward, stood by the road, and raised his right thumb.
I was an idiot and was very confused. I didn't understand what the hell was going on with Ju Chenxi's actions. He left his girlfriend aside and went to the side of the road alone and raised his right thumb to the passing vehicles. He didn't have a fever, did he?
But it turned out that he didn't have a fever, because there really was a car parked in front of him, and soon, Ju Chenxi shouted at me: "Silly Le, get in the car quickly."
"Oh, I'll be there right away." In order not to make the driver wait for me too long, I put in all my strength and ran towards the car in small steps, but my steps seemed to be out of control and the speed was not as fast as I imagined.
"It's really worrying." Seeing that I was too slow, the anxious Ju Chenxi rushed over immediately and picked me up horizontally. To put it simply, it was another dog-abuse princess hug. I hooked my arms around his neck and was quickly taken to the car.
After some investigation, we found out that when Ju Chenxi raised his thumb, it meant "hitchhiking", because at this time, passenger buses had stopped running, and the only ones were the vehicles going to the old city. The place where we got off happened to be in an uninhabited mountain village. If we didn't find a vehicle that could give us a ride, it meant that we would have to spend the day in the dark environment of the wilderness.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder. To be honest, I'm still a little scared. Fortunately, we were lucky and met a lovely driver.
