Chapter 5: Sadness Hidden in the Dark Eternal Night
Hey, I didn’t know your experience was so sad!
How come you suddenly know now?
Uh, well, I accidentally read your diary.
01
Humans are truly strange creatures.
When you realize that you like someone, all you think about is what you can do for him.
So, when I woke up early in the morning, the first thing I thought of was to personally make a hearty breakfast for Ju Chenxi.
When I walked into the kitchen, I found Aunt Liu was already busy in the kitchen.
Aunt Liu is a person who pays great attention to breakfast, so even if she comes home late the day before, she will carefully prepare a hearty breakfast for the whole family early the next morning.
When she saw me, she asked in surprise: "Xiao Le, why did you get up so early today?"
"Well, good morning, Auntie! Ju Chenxi has been taking good care of me recently. To express my gratitude, I want to make him breakfast myself." I said with a somewhat embarrassed smile .
"Really? Xiaoxi really takes good care of you! Then I feel relieved! You don't know that Xiaoxi is usually rather indifferent. I was worried at first that he would say cold words to you." Aunt Liu said with surprise.
"No, Ju Chenxi is very good to me. So, Auntie, I want to fry him an egg myself." I thought about it and realized that I can't make complicated breakfasts, so fried eggs are my best.
"Okay, then come over!" Aunt Liu agreed with a smile, and then she patiently instructed me, "But you can fry the eggs last, because Xiaoxi hasn't gotten up yet. If you fry them now, they will get cold and the taste will not be good! Auntie will teach you how to make other things first."
"Yeah, thank you, Auntie!"
So, under Aunt Liu's guidance, I first took the whole wheat bread baked the night before out of the oven, sliced it, smeared it with butter, and then slowly fried it in a frying pan until the surface of the bread was golden yellow before putting it out. Then, I took out three slices of bacon from the refrigerator, heated the oil, put the bacon in and fried it on both sides. Finally, I took out the egg, found a special circle mold, gently broke a corner of the egg, beat it on the container, and then put it on the gas and fried it on a low fire, and a beautiful round egg appeared.
The bread, bacon and fried eggs are all ready. The next step is to wash the vegetables, wash and slice the tomatoes, put the previously toasted bread slices, fried bacon and eggs together, add them one by one, stack them into a complete sandwich, and finally pour mayonnaise on it. A sandwich with a complete shape and sufficient ingredients is ready.
"Oh, by the way, Auntie, the yogurt in the refrigerator is gone. I'll go out and buy some!" After putting the things on the table, I found that the daily must-have probiotic yogurt was still missing, so I quickly suggested it while Ju Chenxi seemed to be still washing up.
"Okay, go quickly and come back soon!"
"Okay."
Because of Ju Chenxi, I got up early in the morning and made my first breakfast in my life; because of Ju Chenxi, I also went out to a convenience store early in the morning for the first time.
Perhaps, this is the motivation for liking someone!
While doing all this, I felt very happy.
After buying yogurt from the convenience store, I saw the fresh green grapes from Mare's Milk on the fruit stand at the entrance of the community. The bunches of green grapes with dewdrops on them were neatly arranged, looking full of vitality.
"Boss, give me two bunches of mare's milk green grapes."
"You are so lucky, little girl! These are new arrivals. Look, the dew hasn't even gone off yet. They are so fresh." The boss praised me while helping me weigh the grapes.
I walked back happily with the grapes in my hand, as if I had a lot of sunshine in my hands, and my heart was so warm that it seemed to bloom.
However, as soon as I walked to the door of Ju Chenxi's villa, my mood immediately took a 180-degree turn. If I were to describe it in terms of weather, it would be sunny to cloudy, and cloudy to thunderstorms.
Because I saw Han Shengya, who was dressed brightly and beautifully, carrying a box of exquisitely packaged chocolate cake, looking around at the door of Ju Chenxi's house, as if waiting for someone.
At this moment, Han Shengya even tied up her bangs in front of her forehead, making her look much more energetic and beautiful.
"Why don't you go in?" I greeted her unhappily with a sullen face.
I had no choice, after all, she was standing at the door and I was about to go in.
"I'm waiting for you!" She gave me a flattering smile.
I thought of what happened in the study last time and couldn't help but shudder.
"Oh, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Student Yan, I'm sorry. What happened last time caused some misunderstandings between us. It's all my fault. I apologize to you, please forgive me." Han Shengya pulled the corner of my clothes, looking pitiful, completely different from the her in the study at that time.
"It's okay. I don't take those things to heart anymore." I gently pushed her hand away and said politely.
In fact, after Ju Chenxi apologized to me solemnly, I no longer took that incident to heart.
"That's good. But I have something I want to ask you for help with, please." Han Shengya said, and came closer mysteriously.
"What's the matter?" I asked, somewhat confused.
After Han Shengya whispered something in my ear, I was stunned and speechless.
"What's wrong? Are you having any difficulties?" Han Shengya saw that my expression was a little stiff, so she asked eagerly.
"Oh, nothing."
"Can you help me with this?"
"Is it just a matter of acting friendly?" When I said this, I was actually absent-minded. My whole heart was already immersed in a faint sadness.
"Yes, that's right. Thank you, please help me, classmate Yan." Han Shengya raised the corner of her mouth, then tidied her hair with her hands and gently pressed the doorbell.
At this moment, my head seemed to be shrouded by a shadow of sadness, and my chest was filled with pain.
Han Shengya just told me that she plans to pursue Ju Chenxi and try to get him to agree to date her. Before that, she hopes to build a good relationship with Ju Chenxi's friends, so she hopes I can be more friendly to her in front of Ju Chenxi.
But only God knows how reluctant I was to hear this shocking news.
After all, I just realized last night that all my recent emotions towards Ju Chenxi were because I cared about him and I liked him. So, I got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast for him, and even went out to buy yogurt and fruit. But before Ju Chenxi saw what I had done for him, Han Shengya got there first.
It really feels bad to have someone else get ahead of you.
"Okay." However, in order not to embarrass myself, I could only suppress the sadness in my heart and reluctantly agreed to her request.
As I agreed, I clearly heard the sound of myself crying madly in my heart.
If Ju Chenxi really agrees to date Han Shengya, I will be so sad that I will collapse!
