Chapter 4: There is a Silent Sea in Your Heart
What? You actually live with Ju Chenxi? Oh my god, so happy!
Bah, bah, bah, I'm so sad.
01
Ever since the heated argument with Ju Chenxi in front of Han Shengya that day, Ju Chenxi and I have not spoken a word to each other. This went on for three days.
However, we live under the same roof every day, and we see each other every day, so there are always many awkward encounters. Whether we are eating at the dining table, watching TV in the living room, basking in the sun on the balcony, or even going to the toilet or taking clothes to take a shower, we can "collide" with him face to face.
I heard that the time people spend together is limited to three days, and three days can change a situation. Either you look for the other person, or the other person looks for you. Otherwise, there is the worst possibility: you continue to be indifferent to each other until you break up!
When I thought of this possibility, I became anxious.
Don't break up!
I don't want to break up with Ju Chenxi!
Don't break up with Ju Chenxi because of a hypocritical person like Han Shengya!
However, when I rushed out that day, the faces of Han Shengya, who looked smug, and Ju Chenxi, who was furious, appeared alternately in my mind. Ju Chenxi actually chose to believe Han Shengya, who was full of lies, instead of me, which really made me feel very angry.
Just as I was thinking about what to do, there was a knock on my door.
"Bang, bang, bang..." I was lying among a pile of dolls, and immediately sat up straight when I heard a knock on the door.
"Aunt Liu, is that you?" I asked cautiously , but all I got in response was silence.
If it wasn’t Aunt Liu, then it would be Ju Chenxi!
But we haven’t spoken to each other for three days. Will you really come to see me?
"Who is it?" Seeing that the other party was slow to respond, I had to speak again to break the silence that was unique to the night.
Still no one answered me.
I pushed away the giant Chibi Maruko pillow that was surrounding me, gently got off the bed, stood on tiptoe, and slowly moved towards the door.
"Cough, cough, cough!" I deliberately made a coughing sound, but all I got in return was still silence.
This is really strange. Since they are knocking on the door, what is the point of standing there without saying a word?
My strong curiosity prompted me to go to the door to find out what was going on, so I reached out and slowly opened the door.
The first thing I saw when the door was opened was a small gift box lying on the ground. Oh, not just one, but a row of them.
They were small, delicate gift boxes with pink lace edges, arranged one after another, forming a straight line leading to the living room. The starting point of the gift boxes was the door of my room, but I couldn't see the end when I looked ahead. I could only see that they stretched through the living room and towards the open-air balcony.
Wow, I’ve only seen such a special scene in TV dramas!
Who could have done this real scene that I am seeing at this moment?
Could it be that Aunt Liu brought me a gift or surprise from her long journey?
Thinking of this, I curiously picked up the first gift box that stopped at my feet, wanting to see what was inside. However, when I thought that the gift extended all the way to the balcony, I couldn't help but want to see if there was a bigger surprise at the end of the balcony. So I took the gift box and walked along that line.
In Ju Chenxi's home, the layout and decoration of the open-air balcony are in no way inferior to those of the living room and bedroom.
Next to the soft tatami sofa is a white wooden leisure swing, and the person sitting on the sofa at this moment is Ju Chenxi, who misunderstood me three days ago, quarreled with me and has not spoken to me for three days!
At this moment, he was wearing a white T-shirt and casual trousers, sitting comfortably on the soft sofa, swinging the white swing next to him with one hand. For a moment, I almost thought he was the senior brother Xiao Nai in "Love O2O" who I drooled over all the time.
Oh my god! From the silhouette, they look exactly alike!
"You're so slow to react." Hearing my footsteps, he turned to me and murmured, then paused, turned around and met my stunned eyes, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
wait for me?
He spoke softly to me in a voice so gentle that it could melt you in the cool night breeze.
This is the first time I have been alone with Ju Chenxi in such a quiet and beautiful environment.
We hadn't spoken for three days, and the warm scene after the coldness was broken made me feel a little embarrassed. However, it was an embarrassment that made my face turn red with shyness.
"Good evening." I didn't know how to deal with this situation for a moment, so I stammered and added, "What are these?" I pointed to the pink gift boxes along the way and asked with some confusion.
I thought it was a gift and surprise from Aunt Liu, but I didn’t expect that all of this was arranged by Ju Chenxi?
Was it Ju Chenxi who arranged this for me?
I can't quite believe my own guess.
"Of course it's to show you the way, otherwise what do you think it is?" Ju Chenxi turned around and said proudly, then pointed to a big gift box on the coffee table next to him, "Open it and take a look!"
"Ah, what is this?" I asked in surprise.
"You'll know once you open it!" Ju Chenxi looked away embarrassedly.
Is he shy?
Seeing his awkward expression, I put down the pink gift box in my hand and slowly opened the big gift box.
"Wow, a big box of taro-flavored Wuyang ice cream cones! How do you know I like taro flavor?" At this moment, I can't find the right adjective to describe my mood.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you keep dawdling, the cone will melt." Ju Chenxi said as he took out a cone and stuffed it into my mouth, "Put the others in the refrigerator!"
"Sizzle, sizzle..." Ju Chenxi stuffed the entire ice cream cone into his mouth. It was so cold that I couldn't react for a while.
At Ju Chenxi's urging, I bit the cone in my mouth while walking towards the refrigerator with a full box of cones in my arms.
Now, I can eat one in the morning, one at noon, one at night, and one before going to bed. Hehe, if Jiaomei knew that I had so many Wuyang ice cream cones, would she be jealous to death?
I thought happily in my heart and stuffed a big box of ice cream cones into the refrigerator one by one.
When I returned to the balcony, Ju Chenxi pointed at the pink gift boxes along the way and said slowly, "And these on the ground, don't forget to take them all away."
"Ah, are these really all for me?" I couldn't believe my ears.
"Well, that day... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you without knowing the truth. Today's ice cream cone and these eleven small gifts on the ground are my twelvefold apology to you." Ju Chenxi spoke lower and lower, completely losing his previous arrogance.
Oh my God, is this person really still Ju Chenxi?
He actually took the initiative to apologize to me and prepared such a big event! He even gave me twelve gifts!
I felt a little elated, as if at this moment I was like a princess surrounded by stars, with a heart full of happiness and satisfaction.
"Ju Chenxi, thank you! I have never received so many gifts in my life!" I put all the pink gift boxes together and opened them one by one slowly. The more I opened, the happier I felt. Finally, when I saw a table full of all kinds of girly gadgets, chocolates, exquisite stationery and accessories, tears filled my eyes involuntarily.
Ju Chenxi, thank you!
Thank you for putting aside your pride and taking the initiative to make peace with me!
Thank you for your careful preparation, which has touched me so much!
Thank you for making me feel this quiet night is so warm !
After experiencing this "pink bomb" tonight, the cold war between Ju Chenxi and I ended perfectly, and we returned to the happy days at the beginning when we sometimes lived in harmony and sometimes quarreled and bickered.
That night, I recalled the apology ceremony that Ju Chenxi had carefully prepared, and I lay in bed tossing and turning. When Jiao Mei called me to tell me something, I jumped out of bed.
"Xiao Le, let me ask you something. This afternoon, Gu Yufan suddenly asked me what flavor of Wuyang ice cream cone I liked. He said it was Ju Chenxi who asked. What's going on between you two?"
"Did Ju Chenxi ask this specifically?" When I heard the news, I found it all incredible.
"It's absolutely true." After receiving the charming and affirmative answer, my heart was pounding even more!
It turns out that under Ju Chenxi's cold appearance, he is actually such a caring and warm man!
Once again, I was deeply moved by Ju Chenxi.
But then again, what does such an elaborate apology ceremony mean?
It doesn’t explain anything!
Thinking of this, my mood instantly fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, accompanied by a hint of loss.
