Chapter 4: Struggling between Honey and Whip
My head hurts so much!
I just woke up and opened my eyes and looked around. There was a white ceiling, a dark black cabinet, and underneath me was a soft bed covered with a warm sea blue quilt.
So comfortable! I hugged the quilt tightly and turned over. Since I came to the human world, I have never slept on a bed. It really feels very different to sleep on a bed and in a trash can. Well, it feels so good to be home. I smiled happily and was about to close my eyes and continue to sleep, but suddenly my eyes widened and I kicked the quilt and sat up.
Home? How is that possible? I should be on a mission!
How could I be sleeping in the bed? Didn’t I just meet a “female devil” with Xia Shu and Yang Sheng in the school cafeteria?
I subconsciously looked around again. It was a strange room, completely different from my home. My eyes stopped at the black wardrobe beside me, and I finally understood where I was.
This wardrobe looks like Xia Shu's closet filled with oversized clothes.
I swallowed, jumped off the bed, prayed for myself in my heart, picked up the quilt that I had kicked off the bed and folded it.
At this time, the tightly closed door opened, and Xia Shu walked in with a mop. He was wearing casual home clothes, his hair was messy, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were staring at the mop in his hand. I saw him dip the mop in the water in the bucket next to him, and began to mop the floor under my surprised gaze.
"Xia Shu..." Watching his movements, I forgot to fold the quilt for a moment and called his name foolishly. You can't blame me for being so surprised. This was the first time I saw a handsome guy doing such a household chore as mopping the floor.
Xia Shu's body froze for a moment when he heard my voice, and then he slowly raised his head like a slow motion in a movie.
"You're awake!" Finally, he screamed, his eyes full of disbelief, as if it was a miracle that I could wake up.
"Uh, yeah, I'm awake."
Then, Xia Shu dropped the mop and ran to me at lightning speed, then pulled my hand, lifted me up, and pinched my body all over.
"Hey! What are you doing? It's indecent assault! Haha, stop tickling me!" I almost got a stitch in the side laughing so hard.
"Wait, are you really okay?" Xia Shu seemed not to hear what I said at all and asked me nervously.
"I'm fine. But you, why are you so nervous?" I tilted my head and looked at him innocently.
"You've been unconscious for two days. No matter how I called you, you didn't respond. I thought you were going to die!" Xia Shu yelled at me excitedly, looking worried and helpless, as if he was dissatisfied with my calm reaction.
Fainted? Oh, so that's what he was talking about!
I touched the back of my head a little embarrassedly, then laughed dryly: "It's okay. Because I didn't pay attention in magic class when I was a child, I remembered the formula incorrectly, so every time I became bigger, my energy was consumed quickly. This time, I fainted suddenly because I was too tired after the transformation. In fact, it's not a big problem. I will be fine after sleeping for two days."
"Just because of this? You are just too tired?" Xia Shu suddenly turned his head to look at me, and a trace of anger suddenly appeared on his originally surprised face. "You stupid fly, were you reincarnated as a pig in your previous life? You can really sleep!" He suddenly yelled at me, scolding me for no reason.
"Hey, how can you say I'm a pig? I'm a famous cute little angel in the elf world. You actually said I'm a pig. How rude!" I was so angry that I put one hand on my waist and pointed at him with the other to accuse him.
"Isn't it? You actually slept for two days without notifying anyone in advance. Don't you know that others will worry about you..." Suddenly, Xia Shu, who was very good at scolding me, stopped, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"What are you worried about? Oh, Xia Shu, are you worried about me? I'm so sorry, I forgot to tell you in advance." I smiled at him embarrassedly. It turned out that he was worried about me. My new master is quite kind.
"Who has time to worry about you? I'm worried that you'll die in my house and bother me to collect your body!" Xia Shu cursed with a stern face.
My smile froze into a strange shape on my face. I want to take back what I said about his kindness. He is just a feudal nouveau riche who has no humanity and is selfish! He even said he would collect my body for me. Pah! Good luck! Good luck!
"You are really the most troublesome and stupid fly I have ever seen! I don't know why I let you stay!" I was not angry yet, but Xia Shu became even more angrier, and it seemed that fire was about to spit out of her beautiful eyes.
I was really afraid that he would say "I should kick you out" next, so I quickly changed the subject:
"Wait! Xia Shu, before you lose your temper, can you answer a question for me first?"
"What's the problem?" Xia Shu raised his eyebrows with a look of disgust.
"I remember when I fainted that day, Yang Sheng seemed to realize that I was not a doll anymore. Did he say anything afterwards?" I asked cautiously, a big drop of cold sweat coming out of the back of my head, because I found that after asking this question, Xia Shu's eyes almost poked a hole in me...
"You still dare to ask me... Do you know how much effort I put into threatening him not to tell this to anyone? Humph, it's a good thing that he was the one who discovered your identity. If it were someone with a normal brain, he would have taken you to the research institute long ago!" Xia Shu poked my head with his finger.
Sweat! What is he talking about? Is he saying that Yang Sheng’s brain is not normal?
"In other words, Yang Sheng really discovered my identity?" I asked, touching my head which was dizzy from being poked.
"Yeah. But he said you're his friend and he won't betray you. And he plans to go to that doll game machine and grab 10,000 more pineapple dolls after you finish your work and leave. What an idiot!"
"Wow! Xia Shu, you even told Yang Sheng all these things. You two really are very good friends." I looked at Xia Shu with some emotion.
"Idiot! What are you talking about? He and I are not friends!" Xia Shu yelled at me hurriedly, and a faint blush suddenly appeared on his fair face.
Oh, what's there to hide? They just look like good friends.
"That guy always pesters me and wants to be friends with me. I almost hate him to death. How can I be friends with him!" Seeing that I didn't believe him, Xia Shu added a few more sentences.
How could that be? They seem to have a good relationship. Oh, Xia Shu must be unwilling to admit it. His personality is too awkward. How can there be such a reserved person in the world? I couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing that I still had a skeptical expression, Xia Shu hurriedly picked up the mop and walked away. Looking at his back in his home clothes, I couldn't help but sigh again, a handsome guy is a handsome guy, even in home clothes he is still handsome!
I walked from Xia Shu's room to the living room. Hey, why is the living room a little strange? I remember that the sofa should be full of magazines before, but now there is nothing. No wonder it looks bigger! The glass coffee table also seems to have been wiped dozens of times. There is no dust on it, reflecting the bright light like a diamond. It's too exaggerated! My eyes fell on the trash can next to it. The trash can has become clean. The pineapple doll was taken out, washed and placed on the TV cabinet.
Is it because I have to sleep in the trash can at night that Xia Shu specially cleaned it? But it’s better this way, at least I don’t have to fall asleep and find a rotten apple next to me, with a few black ants staring at me with their big eyes.
It seems that Xia Shu has been doing a lot of cleaning during the days when I fainted. He really loves cleanliness...
I sighed, and Xia Shu came out of the kitchen with a plate of food. Huh? Not only was he cleaning, but he also prepared a meal for me?
I stuck my head out curiously, and the smell of the food quickly reached my nose through the air, stimulating my taste buds.
This time, it's really exciting!
Last time, the food he cooked was terrible, but it looked and smelled good. But today's food always smelled like rotten fruit picked up from the gutter...
I covered my nose with my hands and was about to duck down to avoid his sight, but I could already hear his voice.
"Come and eat."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not hungry yet and I don't want to eat yet..." Seeing that I had been discovered by him, I was too embarrassed to hide. I could only straighten my back, put on an awkward smile and waved at him, brewing my own lines in my heart, "Why don't you eat first, and I'll talk to you when I'm hungry later."
"You've slept for two days and you're not hungry? I tell you, if you don't eat today, leave my house immediately." Xia Shu put all the dishes on the table, walked to my side, grabbed my collar, and forced me to the dining table.
How horrible! The table was filled with all kinds of dishes, some of which were relatively fresh, while others looked like they had been there for a day or two. Could it be that Xia Shu had put all the dishes he had cooked over the past few days on the table?
I curled my lips, used the special cutlery that Xia Shu prepared for me, picked up a bunch of dishes that I didn't know what they were, and put them into my mouth.
Oh my god, it's so hard to make dishes taste like this! Eating clay tastes better than eating these things! The fried cucumber was so salty that I thought I was eating salt directly. The sweet and sour spareribs were sour, completely sour, there was no other taste except sour! And the fish soup, for some reason, had a bitter taste of Chinese medicine...
I ate these extremely unpalatable meals with a sad face, and my eyes gradually became hot. Xia Shu is really mean. Even if he hates me, he doesn't need to use such a tortuous and complicated method to express his disgust. Not only am I exhausted from cooking so many dishes, but how much food is wasted!
I couldn't help but secretly look at Xia Shu's expression. He looked at the food in my bowl slowly decreasing with satisfaction, and his big eyes showed a rare tenderness, as if a ray of sunshine melted the thousand-year-old frost. Strange, he didn't seem to be gloating!
Finally, the power of beauty supported me to finish all the dishes in the bowl, and Xia Shu's face also bloomed with a satisfied smile. Wow, he really should smile more often, he looks like a different person when he smiles, and he is suddenly radiant!
I was completely captivated by this stunningly handsome face. This face was not just perfect, his skin was whiter and more delicate than a girl's, and his eyelashes were long and curly, as if he had applied super lengthening mascara. I pouted my lips in jealousy.
"What the hell? Why do boys have to be so good-looking!" I muttered to myself.
"What are you talking about?" I thought my voice was close to the buzzing sound of mosquito wings, but who knew that the air would still carry it to his ears. Before I could react, his eyes, which were fixed on the dining table, were already projected on me, sharp and serious.
"Nothing... nothing." I shook my head quickly. Alas, before I could see enough, he returned to his original state.
He looked at me suspiciously, then finally stood up and walked towards the door.
"Are you going out?" I asked blankly, watching his actions.
Could it be that he doesn't want to stay at home because he thinks I'm too annoying? I looked at my hands with a pursed mouth, which were indeed fleshy and small, and looked clumsy, unable to do anything well. I looked up at his slender arms and slender fingers, and I lowered my head in inferiority.
"No." He had just walked a few steps when he heard my voice and stopped. He turned his head and looked at me, then replied casually, "I'll go change my slippers."
"Oh." I breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly an idea flashed in my mind, and the flattery god instantly possessed me. I flapped my wings and flew to his side, looking at him flatteringly, and stopped in the air in front of him in the face of his puzzled eyes, then posed, "Master Xia Shu, just sit on the sofa, I'll get you slippers."
Humph, although Xia Shu refused to make a wish and I can't use magic to help him, I am not a freeloader. Even if I don't use magic, I can help him do other things. I must let him know that I am very useful!
Xia Shu looked at me, with a gleam in his eyes. He was stunned for a long while, and finally nodded suspiciously and sat back on the sofa.
Seeing that he believed me, I smiled happily, flew to the door as fast as I could, picked up a slipper on the ground with both hands and flew back to him.
Then, repeat the same action to pick up the second one.
"Actually..." I just flew to the door and heard him speak, with a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"It's okay, I'm not very tired." Although my forehead was already sweating from holding the slippers, which were not too light, I still turned around stupidly and forced a smile at him.
Xia Shu's tone was obviously stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little strange. After a few seconds, he finally regained his calm expression, his eyes still flashing with indifference, but with a hint of smile: "Actually, I want to say that I can do it much faster by myself."
"boom!"
Please understand. It was not that my hands were too soft to hold the slippers and the sound fell to the ground, but that I really couldn't stand the blow his words brought to me, so that my eyes were blurred for a moment and I hit the sofa with the slippers in my arms.
Then, gloriously, it fell to the ground along with its slippers.
I rubbed my face that was deformed by the sofa, gritted my teeth, and flew up from the ground again holding my slippers, then jumped over the sofa and stopped in front of him, but I saw that he didn't notice me at all, but looked out the window heartlessly.
"You, the perpetrator of the accident, don't even care about me. I was almost disfigured." I angrily put my slippers on the ground in front of him, then put my hands on my hips and looked at him with dissatisfaction.
"Really? Then what do you think I should say?" He turned around and put on the other slipper, looking at me with a half-smile, "Your disfigurement is equivalent to plastic surgery."
What? You can actually say that about me!
You know, I am a well-known cute girl in the elf world. I have an invincible baby face and I am invincible. How dare you look down on me!
I grabbed my clothes with both hands and looked at him with a depressed face, but I didn't dare to provoke him in person.
"Are you so anxious to prove that you are useful? Well, help me see if there is any Coke in the refrigerator. If there is, bring me a can." Seeing that I looked shocked, Xia Shu kindly pointed to the refrigerator, with a smile on his face that was still very annoying.
"Yes, Master!" I gritted my teeth and squeezed out these four words, forcing myself to put the embarrassment of bumping into the sofa behind me. Then I nodded, turned around and flew towards the refrigerator.
Work first, work first...
I was mumbling to myself, and before I knew it, I had flown outside the refrigerator. I pouted, looked at the tightly closed refrigerator, grabbed the edge of the refrigerator with both hands, and kicked the door open. I grabbed the edge and was pushed aside, feeling dizzy. I waited until the door stabilized and stopped moving, then I dared to let go and flew to the refrigerator.
As soon as I flew to the side, I felt a gust of cold air coming over me, which made me shiver all over. When I slowly adapted to the cold air, I continued to search in the refrigerator.
Cola……
It seems that there is no such thing.
I frowned and was about to tell Xia Shu that I didn't see it, but suddenly I saw a blue can in a very deep corner of the top shelf of the refrigerator, with a "Pepsi" logo clearly painted on it. My mind became dull and I stared at the can of Coke for a long time without moving.
God, you can't torture me like this! Who would put Coke in such a hidden corner, and block it with a bunch of bottles and cans next to it?
Damn it, it must be Xia Shu who is deliberately making trouble for me again!
I swallowed my saliva in defiance, flew to the top layer, grabbed the bottles and jars outside, flew down and put them on the bottom shelf, then continued to fly up.
I kept flying up and down like this, I was cold and tired, I could hardly flap my wings. I was a wish-granting elf, worshipped by all humans, why did I end up being a porter?
Finally, I moved all the bottles and cans to the lower level, and when I was free, I collapsed in the refrigerator. But when I thought of Xia Shu still waiting there, I had to fly to the top level again with all my strength to pick up Coke.
But when my hand first touched the Coke, I was shocked by its temperature.
"Ah——" I quickly let go of my hand and screamed, "Xia Shu, how long has your Coke been in the refrigerator? Why is it so cold?"
"Maybe I bought it half a year ago and forgot to drink it." After a long time, Xia Shu's answer came from the other side, "Hurry up."
When I heard what he said, I almost rolled my eyes and fainted in the refrigerator. Half a year, a lot of things can be frozen into ice. Fortunately, he didn't go as far as to put Coke in the freezer, otherwise I would be dead.
I looked up at the can of Coke again with trepidation, gritted my teeth, reached out my hands and hugged it with a fearless attitude, then flew out of the refrigerator, kicked the door shut, and flew towards Xia Shu.
"The Coke is here." The cool air of the Coke spread throughout my body. I opened my trembling lips and stopped in front of him, my teeth already chattering. I put the Coke on the glass coffee table in front of him, opened the can for him, and then picked it up and flew over to him.
He sat on the sofa with a leisurely look on his face. To me, he looked like a tyrant who exploited his good subjects. He stretched out his hand and was about to take the Coke from my arms.
I just stretched out my hand, ready to hand it to him, but suddenly I lost my balance and fell forward a few times. The Coke in my hand tilted and all poured out on him.
Oh no, it’s over!
"Are you okay? Are you okay?" I shouted in panic when I saw the brown Coke flowing down his white shirt and onto the sofa.
Xia Shu's body seemed to be infected by the Coke poured on him, emitting bursts of cold air, and I suddenly had a bad feeling.
"You stupid fly, can't you even hold a cup of Coke? I really doubt whether you did it on purpose! Oh my God, why on earth did I leave you in my house!"
As expected, Xia Shu's complaints came like a flash flood. Wow, I really didn't mean it. I lowered my head and looked at the stain on his clothes. Xia Shu must be very angry that such a good white shirt was ruined by me. It was really my fault this time. I was so useless.
If scolding me can make Xia Shu feel better, then let him scold me. I won't blame him.
"Oh, forget it, I'm going to take a shower. You clean up this place... Forget it, let me do it." Xia Shu's helpless voice sounded above my head.
I looked up at him in surprise, but I found that there was no anger in his eyes, but rather a little... pity? Before I could see clearly, he had already turned his head and walked towards the bathroom impatiently.
I failed again...
I finally gained a little trust from him and was able to stay in his house. I hope I won't be kicked out again because of what happened in the past few days? If that happens, I can't go back to the elf world and will have to wander around in the human world.
When I thought of myself dragging my tired body in the bleak cold wind, I quickly shook my head, stopped my nonsensical fantasies, turned around and looked at the bathroom, the sound of water coming from inside hit my heart again and again.
Can I really not do anything right?
My eyes were sore and I felt a warm current flowing into my eye sockets. I flapped my wings and flew in through the gap of Xia Shu's door, and my eyes fell on the neatly folded clothes on the bed.
Oh, Xia Shu didn't seem to take the clothes into the bathroom just now, he must have forgotten. Well, I can always do things like delivering clothes! So I reached out, picked up the clothes, flew to the side of the bathroom, tried to put a smile on my face, then blinked to dry my eyes, opened my eyes wide and looked at the bathroom, flying around outside the bathroom.
I must let Xia Shu know that I am not a useless stupid elf, I must satisfy him once! With this firm idea in mind, I flapped my wings nervously and excitedly.
Finally, the sound of water inside stopped.
After a while, I heard the sound of the doorknob being turned. Xia Shu must be in a dilemma now. He must be hesitating because he didn't bring any clothes and was embarrassed to ask me for help. He must want to open the door and ask me for help. When he sees that I have brought the clothes over, he will be very happy!
The door opened, and my face, which had a flattering smile on it, suddenly turned pale!
Slightly flushed cheeks.
Perfect collarbone.
Half naked upper body.
Water vapor surrounding your body.
The arc of my wings became smaller. Although I still flew, I was obviously flying at a snail's pace. The words I was about to say got stuck in my throat, and I only let out a scream: "Ah——"
I covered my eyes with my clothes, turned around and flew into the living room.
"Why don't you even wrap yourself in a towel?"
My voice echoed throughout the living room.
"Stop it! What are you arguing about? I just wanted to ask, why are you standing at the bathroom door?"
I heard Xia Shu's awkward voice behind me, but I didn't care anymore. I ran around the living room holding my clothes, just wanting to find a place to hide.
Got it! There was a big box in the corner of the living room. I was like a deer that was being chased by a lion and found a cave. I quickly flew over and hid in the box. Xia Shu's clothes covered my head, and suddenly the box was dark and I couldn't see anything.
It's so sad and horrible. I just wanted to help him deliver clothes, but this happened. It's over, will I get stye? God, even if you don't help me, please don't hurt me. This is terrible, Xia Shu will definitely think I'm a pervert and will definitely kick me out!
"Woo, woo, I wanted to send you clothes!" I shouted with great regret.
Suddenly, the clothes on my head were pulled off. I turned my head secretly and opened my eyes a little. Xia Shu was frantically putting on clothes.
"Who told you to do this? Damn it, I actually forgot there was a stupid fly in the house."
He called me a fly again. Am I really a pest that only causes damage? I am a wishing spirit. My job is to fulfill people's wishes. What does it matter if I can't do other things well? It's all Xia Shu's fault. What can I do if he doesn't want to make a wish?
By the way, Xia Shu has no wishes, so I am completely useless to him. He doesn’t need me at all, so he will kick me out!
Realizing this, I lowered my head in frustration, my eye sockets gradually became hot, and it seemed that crystal liquid was about to flow out of my eyes.
Huh? What is this? I wiped my blurry eyes and used the light coming in from outside the box to see the words under my feet: Barbie Doll Furniture Set.
Barbie doll? Why did Xia Shu buy such a thing? He is not a girl, so why would he play with Barbie dolls? If he didn't buy it for himself, could it be...
I quickly jumped out of the box, opened the outer shell of the box, and finally saw the set of Barbie doll supplies clearly.
Inside... inside was actually a small house for Barbie dolls, and it was a complete version, with a bed, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom!
I looked at the milky white bathtub in the transparent packaging with delight. A picture of taking a wonderful milk bath emerged in my mind, and I couldn't help laughing out loud.
Not only that, there were many sets of small clothes of various styles on the bed in the room, which were just right for my figure!
Hahaha, a complete set of Barbie doll furniture and clothes, Xia Shu must have bought it for me! I didn't expect Xia Shu to be so thoughtful, worried that I wouldn't live comfortably, and even bought a house for me. From this point of view, I won't be kicked out.
I flew out of the cardboard box and saw Xia Shu walking out while buttoning his pajamas in a hurry. I couldn't help but fly to his side, kissed his warm cheek which was still wet, and looked at him happily.
"Thank you, I really like it!"
I saw that his already red cheek became even redder after I kissed him, like a ripe apple.
"Hey, Xia Shu, don't take a bath for too long. Your face is so red. It's easy to get deprived of oxygen!" I said solemnly.
Xia Shu stared at me for a long while, his eyes clearly conveying the message "Are you an idiot?"
"What does my blushing have to do with you? Also, I bought these things because I was afraid that you would cry again in the middle of the night and wake me up. You don't need to thank me at all. Humph, if you disturb my sleep again, I will still kick you out! You can sleep here by yourself at night. I'll go back to my room first." Xia Shu's words sounded a little lacking in confidence. He looked at me thoughtfully, turned around and walked quickly into the bedroom.
As he was talking, his face turned even redder. Oh, so he was shy, annoying! He obviously cared about me, why did he need to explain? I was getting to know his hypocritical personality better and better. Is it so difficult for him to admit that he cared about others?
I smiled sweetly, feeling that my efforts had finally paid off, Xia Shu finally recognized my goodness! Oh, I, the pineapple elf Yuye, once again gained the master's recognition with my unremitting efforts! Ahahaha!
I laughed and flew into the Barbie doll's house, found the bedroom, covered myself with the quilt, closed my eyes, and fell asleep. I slept very soundly that night, as if I had returned to my comfortable home in the fairy world.
The next day, I got up early. Barbie's house is really high-end, and the bed is a soft princess bed, unlike the one in the trash can, which is smelly, cold, and the air is not good. Oh yeah, now I am running at full speed!
Xia Shu also changed into his school uniform and walked out of the room. He walked to my bed with his schoolbag on his back, and saw that I was awake and in great spirits, and smiled ironically:
"Oh, it seems that what I did was right. I slept well last night without hearing your screams."
"Xia Shu, you are being so rude. I know you care about me." I didn't argue with him, but answered with a smile. I don't know why, although his attitude towards me is still so bad, he looks much better today.
"Stop being so self-righteous! Humph, I'm going to school, you better stay home and don't cause any trouble for me." After hearing what I said, Xia Shu's mouth twitched twice, and then he ordered me with a stern face.
"No, Xia Shu, let me go with you. I promise to be a good boy and not run around." I jumped onto his schoolbag, then jumped onto his shoulders, begging in his ear.
"No!" He decisively rejected my proposal and shook his head, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Why..." I continued to ask, with a hint of spoiled childishness, "Let me go with you."
"It's really not possible. If you go, you will have to stay in the schoolbag all the time. Are you willing?" Xia Shu deliberately scared me.
When I heard that I would be locked in my schoolbag like last time, I quickly closed my mouth and shook my head, then puffed up my cheeks and said helplessly, "No. Then I'd better stay at home."
"Yeah." Xia Shu finally nodded with satisfaction, took me off his shoulders and put me on the table, "Remember, you are not allowed to leave home without permission. I'm in a hurry, so I'll leave first." He instructed me, pulled the schoolbag on his back, walked to the door, bent down to put on his shoes, opened the door with a handsome move and walked out.
I watched his back disappear from my sight and the door slowly closed with a slight sound. Then I flew up again and looked around Xia Shu's house.
This was the first time I admired his home so carefully, and I suddenly found that his home was very monotonous. No matter what it was, it was all one color, and it was generally a simple style composed of black and white. I pouted my lips, drew a circle in the air with my fingers, and immediately a pile of various lace decorations appeared on the ground.
Looking at the colorful decorations on the floor, I smiled with satisfaction, and immediately picked up a tablecloth and spread it on the glass coffee table. Then I picked up the mat next to it and slowly spread it on the floor.
Finally, after my hard work, a pink lace carpet was laid on the floor, a lace tablecloth was covered on the dining table, a lace gauze cover was put on the TV, and even the pillowcases and quilt covers were changed to soft light blue lace.
After all the decorations on the ground were put in their places, I flew into the living room again, looked at this world that was completely different from before, and a smug smile appeared on my face.
That's really good.
Pink|A tender world is beautiful!
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, but didn't feel tired at all. Instead, I hummed a little tune and walked around the house, admiring the fruits of my labor.
Haha, such a beautiful room, Xia Shu will definitely praise me when he comes back!
After a tiring day, I went back to my princess bed with beautiful thoughts to catch up on some sleep. I don't know how long it took, but I heard the sound of the door opening vaguely ringing in my ears. I opened my eyes and looked around. It was already dark, and everything was shrouded in a layer of gray.
Suddenly, the lights were turned on.
I got up from the bed and walked out of the room, and saw Xia Shu standing at the door with a surprised expression on his face, and the key in his hand fell to the ground.
"Xia Shu, you're back!" I flew over to him flatteringly, with a smile on my face. Haha, Xia Shu must have been so happy that his hands were shaking and he even dropped his keys.
"What are you doing again? Why did you make my house look like this?" Xia Shu pointed at the various lace decorations with trembling hands, and his expression of hatred was as if I was not the one who decorated his house, but the one who demolished it.
"Natsuki, don't you like it?" I asked a little frustrated.
"I don't like it. I should say I hate it!" Xia Shu seemed to have finally come back to his senses from his grief and shouted at me.
Waves of cold anger emanated from him, and I was so scared that I shrank my neck and stepped aside. He passed by me like a gust of wind, and kept complaining:
"What are these?" He reached out and pulled off the lace tablecloth that I had laid out so neatly on the table . Then he bent down and picked up the pink carpet and asked me, "Who allowed you to do these things when I'm not home? I give you five minutes to restore my house to its original state!"
Seeing my achievements being trampled upon by him, I felt wronged and angry. I was about to retort, but when I saw his livid face, I was shocked. I could only mutter a few words softly, lowered my head and flew around to collect the various lace decorations that I had spent a long time laying out in the morning.
"I'm sorry, Xia Shu, I just wanted to make the room look prettier, and I didn't know it would disgust you." After restoring everything to its original state, I held back the urge to cry, flew to his side and said sincerely.
He didn't say anything, just staring at his room. I raised my head and looked at him nervously, hoping to see a trace of sympathy or pity in his eyes, but I only saw a deep coldness and indifference in his eyes.
His pupils were as dark as the night sky.
Looking at his indifferent expression, I lowered my head in frustration. Xia Shu looked really angry. In the past, even if I did something wrong, he would just scold me harshly, but not like now, saying nothing and looking at me coldly as if I was just a stranger.
"Xia Shu, I know I was wrong, don't blame me." I don't know why, but I hate the look in his eyes right now, as if we were back to the time when we first met, and the distance between us suddenly widened.
"This is my house. Don't change its style on your own initiative." Xia Shu finally said coldly, and without waiting for my response, he turned and walked into the living room.
The slippers made a slight sound when they hit the ground, but it was quite loud in the quiet room.
All his movements seemed so stiff and unfamiliar to me, lacking the gentleness of the past.
I stared at him without blinking, as if I wanted to see through him, but I couldn't figure out what he was thinking deep in his heart.
What happened to him today? He was fine yesterday. Although he quarreled with me, we had a good time! Why did he suddenly become so cold today, as if he didn't even want to talk to me?
What did I do wrong?
I sat on my small bed with my arms around my legs, looking at his profile in the dim light. His outline became a little unfamiliar. A layer of mist appeared in front of my eyes, blocking my vision and blurring my eyes.
A tear accidentally slipped from my eye and dripped hotly onto the back of my hand. The scorching temperature instantly spread to my chest.
Blurred, I saw Xia Shu sitting on the sofa. He took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, pressed a few buttons, and then put it to his ear. His jet-black hair hung straight down in a smooth curve.
Tears flooded my vision, making it difficult for me to see the look in his eyes.
Did he really dislike lace things, which was why he was so angry? Maybe tomorrow would be fine, maybe by tomorrow morning, everything would be back to normal.
Or maybe he was in a bad mood today, and I just touched upon his anger, which made him angry.
I explained it to myself in my heart, but I found it ridiculous that no matter how I explained it, it just didn't make sense. And I always felt like there was something blocking my heart, stuffy, unable to clear it, and unable to let it go.
I rubbed my eyes and wiped away my tears, and the scene in front of me finally became clear. I saw Xia Shu pick up the phone and put it to his ear, and it seemed that the call was connected. I saw him silent for a long time before he spoke, and his words sent me to hell.
"Mizuki, my name is Natsuki. I apologize to you for what happened that day. I shouldn't have been so tough with you. I hope you can forgive me."
I was stunned as if I was struck by lightning, and my expression instantly changed from frustration to surprise!
Is Xia Shu apologizing to someone? From the time I met him till now, I have never heard him say the word "forgiveness"! With his personality, how could he ask for forgiveness?
But this is not what surprised me the most.
What surprised me the most was that the person Xia Shu asked for forgiveness from was Mitsuki! If I remember correctly, Mitsuki was the overbearing girl who appeared in the school cafeteria that day. Not only did she hold me tightly and not let me breathe, but she also threatened Xia Shu with a vicious look that gave me chills. Xia Shu actually apologized to her!
And judging from her appearance that day, Xia Shu must really dislike her. How could this happen if he didn't want to have lunch with her? Could it be that Xia Shu refused to have lunch with her because she was afraid that I would be discovered by her and she would be scared? Did I misunderstand something, or...
My mind is in a mess.
What is going on?
I panicked and patted my head to calm myself down. No, no. If Xia Shu and her were really close, she wouldn't have waited until today to call and apologize . And that day, Mitsuki wouldn't have said that because she was rejected. There must be something fishy going on.
For a moment, I even forgot to cry and just stared at Xia Shu. Images kept flying through my mind and I was deeply confused.
Xia Shu's expression...although it's still a little unclear. But judging from his series of actions after returning home today, it is indeed a bit weird, and it's indescribable!
"Miyuki, I'm sorry, it's really my fault. Can you forgive me?" Listening to the low, slightly pleading voice coming out of Natsuki's mouth, and even feeling that he cared deeply about Miyuki, I felt even more surprised.
There must be something wrong!
I bit my lower lip, nodded firmly, and watched him confirm his thoughts.
At this time, Xia Shu's expression changed slightly, and he was no longer as depressed as before. There was a smile on his face for no apparent reason. He turned off his phone, stood up and walked into the room.
What on earth had happened? I looked at the door that blocked Xia Shu and I, and a thick shadow enveloped my heart.
