Chapter 6: A Heart That Falls Accidentally 3
The lesson learned from the cake incident made Lagoud no longer ask me to cook for him myself, and since I knew my shortcomings, I would naturally not take the initiative to ask to cook for him.
So for a long time, whenever I went to the hospital to visit him, the most thing I did was to collect funny texts and videos to entertain Master Lagood.
Sometimes, if I came across a particularly funny joke or video, I would enthusiastically share it with my classmates the next day. In less than a week, I became quite popular in the class. Every morning when I got in, a classmate would come over and ask, "Qiqi, what funny jokes do you have today? Tell us a few and let us laugh." And I rarely let my classmates down.
I have never been a sociable person since I was little, so even if we were in the same classroom, I was only close to two or three classmates. But since I started telling jokes, I gradually became familiar with more and more classmates in the class, and gradually made many good friends, so much so that Ganju would complain to me out of jealousy.
"Qiqi, if you keep going like this, I'm almost doubting that you'll forget me." That day, I was discussing a newly opened snack shop with a classmate. Ganju came over with a pout and said to me, "I was just planning to recommend this snack shop to you. I wanted to ask you to go there when you were free, but who knew that someone else would take it ahead of time."
"Haha, that 's great. I'm so well-informed now, and I can tell you if there's anything happening in the future. In the past, you were the one asking around while I enjoyed myself. I've long felt embarrassed about it." After saying that, I even pretended to do a 90-degree polite bow like the Japanese.
"Oh, you've even learned to put on airs." Tangerine waited for me, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Really? It turns out that watching jokes often can completely change a person. The power of humor is really strong."
"What?" I blinked, finding it a little difficult to understand what Tangerine said.
"Hey, didn't you notice it yourself?"
"What did you find?"
"Ever since Lagude asked you to go to the hospital and tell him jokes every day, you've become much happier than before. You smile all day long and are especially willing to share with others. So people who didn't know you before have started to like you one by one, and you've become more and more sunny."
"It's not that exaggerated." I touched my face and couldn't help but ponder: Is this really the case? Have I changed so much?
"How am I exaggerating?" Tangerine yelled, "You don't know, sometimes when I see you come out after watching Lagood and retell those jokes to your classmates, it's like there's a big sun shining on your head, the sun is so bright that it's hard to open your eyes."
Uh - I reached out and wiped the non-existent sweat from my forehead: Dear Citrus, if this is not an exaggeration, then probably all the truths in this world are excessive modesty.
"Actually, Qiqi, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you, but I was afraid you would overthink it, or feel embarrassed to ask. But I'm really curious, so I wanted to consult you first. May I ask you this question?" Ganju asked in a low voice with a sly smile on his face.
I subconsciously felt that this girl's question was definitely not a good thing, and I should firmly answer no. But before I could open my mouth, she took the lead and said, "Of course, I know you will be happy for me to ask. After all, how can you bear to watch your good friend being tortured by curiosity and become confused! Although, you have so many friends now, maybe you don't care about me anymore."
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly: Since that's what she said, how can I not let her ask, you cunning girl?
"Just ask." I said helplessly.
"Hehe, that's right - why did that Lagude ask you to collect so many funny texts and videos every day? Is it really just to entertain yourself? There are so many ways to entertain yourself, why do you have to choose this?"
"How should I know this?" My heart moved slightly, and a vague guess emerged in my mind, but after seeing Ganju's ambiguous eyes, I didn't want to admit it no matter what.
"Hehe, you guessed it yourself, right? This girl did it for you. She must have seen that you were unhappy about Jiusha recently, so she used jokes to make you laugh. I didn't expect that these jokes actually played such a big role, and completely turned my Qiqi into a sunny and cheerful popular princess."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Qiqi, it seems like that guy Lagude really likes you. No matter what he does, he always considers you from your perspective. Sigh - if I also have someone I like, even if he doesn't have to be as handsome as Lagude, I will definitely accept him without hesitation."
"Ganju, you - I won't talk to you anymore. The time is almost up and I have to go to the hospital." I stomped my feet at Ganju with a blushing face and trotted out of the classroom.
"Go, go, and remember to cultivate your relationship. I think Lagood is a good guy." Ganju ran to the classroom door, waving at me and shouting.
I was almost frightened to the ground by what this girl said.
What, what are you talking about!
My heart suddenly became confused, and I had a vague expectation. Even when I walked into the hospital, I still hadn't calmed down.
I opened the door of Lagude's ward and saw that he looked up at the door as he always did. When he saw me come in, he immediately gave me a bright smile. In the past, I thought this was a very normal thing, but this time, when this guy smiled at me, I actually blushed so easily.
Wow, how embarrassing, I blushed so easily for no apparent reason. I wonder if Lagude will think I'm weird.
"Qiqi, you——"
"Ah, I - I'm fine, and I don't have anything to ask you, you, you, you -" Lagood just started to speak. When I heard him calling my name, I suddenly jumped nervously, and then I said what was in my heart without thinking.
"Uh - do you have something to ask me?" Lagoud looked at me with a smile and said, "It's okay. If you have anything to ask, just ask. I promise that I will tell you everything I can."
He said, his voice soft and with a doting tone that made people intoxicated.
The temperature on my face rose sharply, because of his doting, and because he said he would tell me everything without reservation. I felt a little sweet in my heart. But at that moment I forgot that what he said was what he could tell me, and behind this was what he could not tell me.
A long time later, when I recalled this conversation, I suddenly realized that I had already liked this guy long before this. Only when you like someone deeply will you fall into the stupidity of love, so that you interpret all the other person's words as what you like.
He said he would tell me everything he could, so I took it as his unreserved attitude towards myself and his deep and genuine love for me.
I looked at Lagude's eyes full of encouragement, and asked with a vague expectation: "Tangerine, she said that you asked me to tell you a joke to enlighten me, hoping that I would be happy and not sad anymore, right?"
As soon as I asked the question in my heart, I waited for his answer with bated breath.
Lagude looked at me, was silent for a while, and then nodded readily: "Yes! I thought this was not a problem at all. Anyone can see that."
Uh - that's right. I was about to refute him, but I saw that he was looking at me with a pair of smiling eyes, and there were traces of joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
With a "boom", my face turned red again.
"Qiqi, I'm just trying to make you happy. If possible, I'd like to do anything for you." Lagude suddenly took my hand and looked very serious. "I'd do anything for you, as long as you're willing to accept me."
After saying that, he looked up and looked at me expectantly.
"Boom, boom, boom--" I felt my heart beating so fast, so fast that it almost jumped out of my chest, so fast that I felt I could hardly breathe, so fast that my brain could no longer think.
I broke free from Lagoud's hand and ran out of the hospital quickly.
How, how could this happen?
There was a feeling that I had always ignored or denied, but suddenly it hit my heart so strongly that I could not ignore or deny it at all.
Why is it happening like that!
It was very unexpected, but I also felt that it seemed a bit natural.
