"Yangsheng, is there anyone else at your home?" I followed Yangsheng to his house. As soon as I entered the door, I found a mountain of shoes of various styles on the shoe cabinet. I was so scared that I quickly grabbed his clothes and asked in a low voice.
"Oh, my parents won't be back until tonight. Don't worry, there's no one at home now." Yang Sheng turned his head and said, with a daisy-like smile on his face again.
"But they will still come back! No, I'd better leave first. How can I explain my identity if they see me?" I turned around and wanted to run, but Yangsheng grabbed me.
"Xiaoyou, have you forgotten that you can make yourself smaller? I will secretly hide you in my room and no one will find you." Yangsheng explained patiently. His eyes were so firm that it calmed my panicked heart again.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. But will this trouble you?" I looked at him apologetically.
"I'm so happy to be able to help Xiaoyou, how could I find it troublesome?" Yangsheng's eyes became deep again, and my heart couldn't help but ripple again.
Why did Yang Sheng say that? Could it be that he was...
Impossible! How long have I known Yang Sheng? Besides, he knows my identity, how could he have other ideas about me? Although I have seen the master show such a fiery look to the girls he likes when I was doing tasks before, Yang Sheng should be just a little bit more enthusiastic!
With an uncertain thought, I followed Yang Sheng into his room. His room was a bit messy, with posters of NBA stars on the wall and magazines and textbooks scattered all over the floor. It was a far cry from Xia Shu's clean and tidy room!
"Xiaoyou, do you think my house is dirty? Actually, it's not like this usually..." Yangsheng's face turned pale the moment he saw the room, and he began to pick up things on the floor in a hurry.
"Haha, let me help too. Actually, it's not that bad. My previous master's house was a real mess. I once found year-old beef in his refrigerator!" I considerately resolved Yangsheng's embarrassment.
"Hahaha, really? Then my family is relatively lucky. My mom only found beef that had been stored in the refrigerator for half a year!" After Yang Sheng said that, he immediately covered his mouth and looked at me cautiously.
I tried my best to resist the urge to faint and gave him a stiff smile. Actually, I made up the beef incident that year. I didn't know that Yang Sheng's family really had such a thing!
No matter what, I still tried my best to help Yangsheng clean the room. After I finally cleaned the room, he suddenly came up to me and handed me a basket like offering a treasure: "Xiaoyou, I just found this under the bed. It's not bad! You can sleep in it from now on!"
Sleeping in a basket? I looked carefully and found that the basket really looked a bit like a bed. There was a layer of cotton cloth inside, just like a bed specially used for sleeping.
"Beibei used to sleep in here when he lived in my house. He loved it so much." Yang Sheng boasted proudly.
"Who is Beibei? Is he your child?" I was puzzled. Is Yangsheng's family so poor that they can't even afford a cradle? They can only let the child sleep in a bamboo basket.
"No, Beibei was the puppy I raised before, but now I gave it away." Yang Sheng said with some melancholy.
puppy……
It turns out that this basket is a doghouse. Has Yuye, the most beautiful and lovely pineapple elf in the elf world, fallen to the point of sleeping in a doghouse?
"What's wrong, Xiaoyou doesn't like it?" Yangsheng looked at me hurt.
"No... no, I like it very much!" I waved my hands repeatedly. If Xia Shu had asked me to sleep in the doghouse, I would have thought he was deliberately making fun of me, but now it was Yang Sheng who was standing in front of me. Yang Sheng must have sincerely felt that, uh, that doghouse was very suitable for me.
Oh, why am I thinking of Natsuki again? It seems that whenever I mention this name, my heart aches.
"That's great, Xiaoyou, you can live here first. I promise you will live comfortably."
Facing the extremely excited Yang Sheng, I pulled an uneasy smile at the corner of my mouth. Can I really live in Yang Sheng's house in peace? Ignoring Xia Shu's anger towards me, not thinking about Mi Lie's curse and Mi Yue's conspiracy, can I really? Living in Yang Sheng's house is just avoiding all difficulties...
I leaned on the balcony and looked outside. The dazzling sunlight was closer to me, and the gentle light was sprinkled on me. I looked at the Ferris wheel in the distance, and all kinds of colors passed by my eyes, but my heart was still like being blocked by something, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
I really couldn't escape it. Whenever I was quiet, I would think of Xia Shu's face. I couldn't forget the hurtful words he said to me and the warmth he occasionally showed me. My feelings towards him became extremely complicated. I didn't know whether I should be angry with him or thank him.
I can't describe the feeling in my heart. I can only purse my lips to moisten my cracked lips and turn around. As soon as I turned around, I was startled by Yang Sheng standing quietly behind me: "Why didn't you call out behind me?"
"I see you're lost in thought. I called you several times but you didn't respond. I don't want to disturb you anymore." Yang Sheng looked at me with a complicated look. His voice was very soft, as if he was really afraid of disturbing me as he said.
I shook my head, lowered my eyes slightly to look at the ground, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that if I leave Xia Shu, he will go to Miyue again. You also saw it last time. It was Miyue who asked Milie to use magic to control Xia Shu. This magic has the ability to backfire on humans. Xia Shu has been having a headache this morning. I'm afraid he will be hurt even more..."
My left hand tightly grasped the fingers of my right hand, as if this would give me some strength. But no matter what, my heart was still overwhelmed by self-blame.
Yang Sheng's hand gently pressed my shoulder, and with the other hand he rubbed my short hair. He sighed softly, looked at me thoughtfully, and his voice was somewhat meaningful: "Xiao You, this is not your fault. You have tried your best. It's just that Xia Shu doesn't understand your painstaking efforts. Believe me, he will understand in the future. I like the you with a happy smile, the you who is full of confidence in yourself and the world." He suddenly withdrew his hand, took out a familiar object from the pocket of his sportswear and put it in front of me, then took my hand, placed it in my palm, and gently closed my fingers, "This is the brooch you gave me. Thank you for giving me courage and strength and changing my destiny. Now I return this brooch to you, and I hope it can bring you good luck again."
I held the brooch tightly in my hand, and my fingers were hurt by it, but it was no match for the pain in my heart. When I looked up at Yang Sheng again, I couldn't face the light in his eyes.
"Thank you. I will...try my best!" Seeing his confidence in me, although I was still not firm enough in my heart, I nodded hard, "I won't let Xia Shu get hurt."
"Well, that's good to think of it this way." After hearing what I said, a gentle smile finally appeared on his lips. He patted my back gently, made a "come on" gesture, and pulled me into the room. "If you need any help, I will help you as long as I can."
"I have troubled you so much..."
"It's okay, we are friends. And you helped me a lot in the past. What's more, Xia Shu is also my friend. Now that my friend is in trouble, I can't just sit there and do nothing!"
"Yangsheng, you are really a good person." I suddenly stopped and looked at him, feeling moved.
Why is Yangsheng so nice to everyone? I couldn't help but sigh.
I looked at his handsome face. He felt a little embarrassed by what I said just now, and a little blush appeared on his cheeks. He touched the back of his head and laughed dryly twice.
"I know that Xia Shu and I have broken up now. I definitely cannot go home for a while, and it is impossible for me to see him. I can only trouble you to observe him more in school to see if there is anything wrong with him. Also, remind him to stay away from Miyuki. I'm afraid his headache will get worse." When I thought of Xia Shu's splitting headache this morning, my eyes became sore and I felt like something wanted to burst out.
Yang Sheng nodded: "That's for sure. I will be by his side all the time, you can rest assured about that. As for Mitsuki... it may be difficult to interfere forcefully." A trace of difficulty appeared on his face, "But I will try my best."
"Yeah!" I nodded and sat down on the bed beside me. Yang Sheng's words made me relax a little, but the uneasiness in my heart still lingered like a vine.
Days passed by, and I had been staying at Yangsheng's house for several days. Yangsheng would bring me news about Xia Shu every day when he came back from school. To my surprise, Yangsheng said that Xia Shu had regained his original personality and had gradually become distant from Mitsuki.
This should be good news. Although I can't stand Xia Shu who often calls me a stupid fly, I would rather he return to his old self than his strange temper after being controlled.
Did he ever think of coming to see me after he returned to normal? Or maybe he was not under the spell when he quarreled with me that day, he really hated me and wanted to drive me away!
I was helping Yang Sheng pack his things while thinking about all sorts of things in my head. Yang Sheng's parents hadn't come home yet, so I maintained my human size.
"Yang Sheng, um, did Xia Shu mention me at school?" Finally, I couldn't help but ask Yang Sheng.
Yang Sheng was stunned for a moment, avoiding my gaze and said, "Yes. I think he must have regretted it. He has been sighing these days, and he is always staring at the dolls hanging on the girls' backpacks. He must be thinking about you!"
"Yang Sheng, has anyone ever told you that you are not a good liar?" I sighed deeply, "Xia Shu is such a person who likes to hide his thoughts, why would he stare at a girl's doll? It's totally unlike his personality. You don't have to comfort me, he didn't mention me at all, right?"
I lowered my head sadly so as not to let Yangsheng see my tearful face.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyou, I didn't mean to lie. I... I just wanted to comfort you!" Yang Sheng hurriedly apologized to me nervously, then gritted his teeth and told me, "Xia Shu is so cold-blooded! He doesn't seem to regret it at all, and he's even more indifferent and arrogant than before. He even ignored me when I talked to him."
Really? Arrogant and indifferent, this is the impression Xia Shu deliberately gave people. It seems that he has really recovered. Forget it, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Xia Shu hates me so much. I left, he was so happy that he didn't have time to regret it.
But the disappointment in my heart still made me breathless, and the last bit of hope was extinguished.
"Xiaoyou, don't be sad. I have something else to tell you." Yang Sheng deliberately changed the subject, "Today when I was at school, I suddenly saw Xia Shu had a headache. I was about to ask him if he needed help, but he seemed to be fine as if nothing had happened. I don't know if it's the backlash of the spell you mentioned, so I want to ask you."
Headache……
As soon as he said these two words, my heartstrings were plucked and my nerves were on edge. Alas, even if Xia Shu abandoned me, I still couldn't bear to see him get hurt.
My heart was churning and I felt a kind of pain.
"Is there anything else?" In order not to miss Yang Sheng's words, I looked at him nervously, but saw that he shook his head.
"Everything else... is still the same. Natsuki has basically returned to his normal self, and there is no relationship between him and Mitsuki anymore."
I nodded, but felt that all this was like the calm before the storm, and the uneasiness in my heart grew heavier.
"Yangsheng, I'm going to find Milie again, and this time I want to explain everything to him clearly!" I said to Yangsheng in a firm tone.
"Xiaoyou, why do you suddenly say that?" Yangsheng was very surprised.
"When I first found out that Xia Shu had given up on me, I thought I would be very angry with him, but when I heard that he had a headache, I was more nervous than anyone else. I think I understand now. No matter how he treats me, I can't just abandon him. So I just need to think about how to help him, and nothing else matters!"
It was as if I suddenly figured it out, and all the chaotic thoughts in my mind disappeared, leaving only one thought: I am Xia Shu's wishing elf, so I have to help him get rid of the curse!
"Xiaoyou, you finally cheered up!" Yangsheng looked at me with relief and supported my decision with a smile.
I nodded to him solemnly, used magic to sense Milie's location, stretched out my hand and drew a cross in the air in front of my chest, quietly recited a spell, and disappeared in front of Yangsheng.
When I opened my eyes again, I was outside the window of Miyue's house. Miyue must be at home at this time, so in order to prevent her from finding me, I deliberately restored my spirit body.
Just as I was about to go to the table to see if Milie was there like I did last time, I suddenly heard a quarrel. It was Meiyue who was talking. I could clearly hear the anger in Meiyue's voice, without any of her usual delicate and pretentious tone.
I flew out quietly, and while they weren't paying attention, I hid in a corner beside the bed and watched them secretly.
Milie has grown to the size of a normal person. He stands opposite Miyue, leaning on the table with his hands on the table. He doesn't look at Miyue, but at other places, with a hint of disdain and a cynical smile.
Mi Yue was furious, and her heavily made-up face was somewhat distorted. She held the edge of her skirt tightly with her hands, questioning Mi Lie.
"Why did Xia Shu return to his previous state? Don't you know some magic? Can't you control people? How did he become like this again? Do you know that Xia Shu is ignoring me again? I am your master, you should help me with all your strength, how can the magic fail?"
I was shocked by the anger emanating from Mitsuki, and I couldn't help but shrink back and look at them timidly.
I had originally intended to confront Milie today, but I had not expected to see something like this. Looking at Miyue's gaze, I suddenly thought that I might be able to hear some useful clues from her words.
I continued to watch them while I prayed.
Mi Lie's eyes shifted slightly, looking up and down at Mei Yue, and sneered: "Do you think you are really my master? This is just their decision. I don't regard you as my master." He raised his eyebrows sarcastically and snorted coldly from his nose with disdain, "Do you think magic is omnipotent? Magic can only control people's thoughts, not their hearts. If there is a power that makes this person feel strongly repelled by magic, then the magic can naturally be lifted."
Rejection? Relief?
It turns out that besides Milie, I can also remove the spell?
That feeling of rejection...
I looked away and leaned against the wall, thinking. After listening to Yang Sheng's words and seeing Mitsuki's reaction, I finally believed that Xia Shu had recovered a lot in the past few days. Could it be that there was something in his heart that made him feel repulsive to magic? What could it be?
At this time, Mitsuki spoke again: "What force caused Xia Shu to be repelled? Go find it for me!"
"Humph, stupid human. The spell I cast on Xia Shu was to make him fall in love with you. The repulsive force must be that he has someone he truly loves. With your methods, can't you find this person?"
Milie's words immediately solved my doubts. I looked at the white wall and suddenly thought of a sentence I heard adults say before: the power of true love is infinite. This is because Xia Shu has someone he likes, so the power of the spell has gradually weakened. This person may be able to solve the spell on Xia Shu!
But who is that person? The person Xia Shu likes now...
Could it be her?
A voice suddenly appeared in my mind. It was the girl named Mizuho who called me last time. If I remember correctly, Yang Sheng seemed to have mentioned her, saying that she was Xia Shu's first love and had recently returned to China. So did Xia Shu remember his feelings for Mizuho, ​​so he returned to his previous state?
Yes, I want to help Xia Shu, let him meet Mizuho, ​​and let them be together again. In this way, Xia Shu will be completely saved! I don't know why, but when I think of Xia Shu's feelings for Mizuho, ​​I feel a little bit painful in my heart, as if something of mine has been taken away by someone else.
Haha, what am I thinking about? Xia Shu doesn't belong to me, and besides, he doesn't want me anymore...
I shook my head to get rid of all the negative thoughts in my head, and I wanted to go back and tell Yang Sheng the good news. Suddenly, I heard a voice, like Miyue walking towards me. I was so scared that I quickly cast a spell and left Miyue's house.
But the strange thing is that when I opened my eyes, I didn’t see Yang Sheng’s familiar room, but appeared outside the window of Xia Shu’s house!
I blinked at the balcony in front of me, and thinking back, it seemed that I had recited the spell incorrectly in a hurry just now, and returned to the place I wanted to return to the most!
God knows how much I want to come back and visit, how much I want to return to my Barbie doll luxury villa. It's not that I think Beibei's home is uncomfortable, but I don't know why, I seem to have regarded Xia Shu's home as my own home. Standing here again, I have a sense of satisfaction that I have finally returned home.
That's right! I can sneak in and take a look. Anyway, I've made myself smaller, so Xia Shu might not find me. With this thought in mind, I quietly flew in through the window.
Oh my god! Is this Xia Shu's house? Did I go to the wrong place?
When I saw the situation in the room, I was shocked. I quickly flew out to take a look. After making sure that everything was correct, I flew in again suspiciously.
I was only away for a week, how come the house has changed so much? All the lace decorations that he forced me to put away last time were taken out again, and even the floor was covered with carpets. I saw the luxurious villa that was still placed next to the TV cabinet at a glance, and quickly flew over to take a look inside.
It was amazing. Even the rooms in the villa were covered with lace decorations. I stood in the small toy room and couldn't help but burst into tears. Was all this done for me? Did Xia Shu cover the whole room with lace for me?
Idiot, is there any need to say this? Xia Shu hated me for destroying the decoration of the house, but now he decorated the room more colorfully than I did in the beginning. If not for me, then for whom? It turns out that I am not the only one thinking about him, he is also worried about me, and he has not given up on me! Thinking of this, a warm current suddenly surged in my heart.
If Xia Shu was worried about me, why didn't he come to see me? If I hadn't sneaked back home to see him, wouldn't I still think he wouldn't forgive me?
At this moment, I suddenly realized that not only was the house full of lace decorations, but the dining table in the living room was also filled with plates of beautiful dishes. I grew bigger with some doubts and ran to open the refrigerator, and was also surprised to see that it was filled with various dishes.
Not only that, the floor of the house was mopped so clean that it even shone. Even the ceiling was spotless. I don't know how much time Xia Shu spent to clean the house so clean.
Why does this scene always feel so familiar? I remember that when I fainted last time, Xia Shu also cooked a table full of dishes for me to eat, and he was also working hard on the housework at that time. And the time when Mizuho called me, he should have been very excited, but he just hid away and cooked quietly. Could it be that when Xia Shu is emotional, he will vent by doing housework? It seems to be true. He always hides his feelings on purpose and doesn't let anyone see it, just like he usually cares about me, but he deliberately treats me harshly to cover it up.
Why didn't I realize it? Xia Shu is just not good at expressing his inner feelings! I was actually angry with him, thinking that he didn't care about me, but I never understood him. That time when I fainted, he cooked a table full of dishes because he was worried about me, and I actually thought he was deliberately making fun of me. I am so stupid!
I was filled with endless guilt and emotion. After accidentally breaking Xia Shu's hard protective shell, I was a little afraid to touch him again, afraid that I would accidentally hurt the sensitive heart behind the protective shell. But I couldn't help wanting to see him immediately and apologize to him.
Just as I was tormented by my own conflicting thoughts, there was a sound of unlocking the door. I ran to the living room in panic, and a familiar figure appeared in my eyes. Xia Shu was changing his shoes with his back to me, and his figure became even thinner. After he changed his shoes, he put down his schoolbag and turned his head. His eyes fell on me and suddenly froze.
His dark eyes moved over my body, and finally stopped at my face. There was a complex expression in his eyes, but more of it was joy. I looked at him in fear, not knowing what to say. But he walked slowly to me, step by step, each step was heavy, and when he came to me, he suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged me tightly, the force almost made me breathless.
"You're back...you're back...Yuzuha, you're finally back!"
His voice was trembling with excitement, and I subconsciously raised my hands to hug him, trying to comfort him. But the one being comforted seemed to be me, and the soft embrace and steady heartbeat quickly filled the big hole of anxiety in my heart. I finally closed my eyes with peace of mind, as if I had arrived in a dreamy paradise.
"Yuye, where have you been all this time? Do you know that I've been looking for you?" Xia Shu suddenly left my arms and asked me nervously.
"I'm sorry, Xia Shu, I made you worry. I've been living in Yang Sheng's house these days, and he's taking good care of me. Don't worry, I'm fine." Looking at his worried eyes, I apologized guiltily.
"Yang Sheng? It turned out to be him. I should have guessed it earlier. He is the only person you know here, and you can only go to him. That kid didn't even tell me." Xia Shu couldn't help complaining.
"I'm sorry, Xia Shu, I didn't let him tell. I was too cowardly, afraid that you would know I was at his house and you wouldn't come to see me. And if you didn't know, at least I could still have a little fantasy. It's all my fault, otherwise you wouldn't have worried about me for so long."
"You also know that I am worried about you? I was just angry and scolded you a few words, but you actually ran away from home like others! Do you know that I was almost going crazy these days!" Xia Shu shouted at me without hiding his feelings.
I was a little surprised. You know, Yang Sheng was feeling sorry for me because Xia Shu was too calm these days, but I didn't expect that Xia Shu was always worried about me in his heart. He was too good at hiding his emotions.
But now that Xia Shu has confessed it to me, I am really touched. I can't help but laugh.
"What are you thinking about? You're smiling so idiotically." Xia Shu touched my head with a look of contempt.
"Haha, I'm just very happy. I can finally go home. Even when I heard Xia Shu scolding me, I was very happy. Xia Shu, let's not quarrel anymore, okay?" After this incident, I realized how much I love this home, so I looked at Xia Shu with extra cherishment.
Xia Shu's eyes froze at my words, then gradually softened:
"Okay, we won't quarrel anymore. I've been having a hard time these past few days, and you've turned my life upside down. I should be talking to Mitsuki on the phone every morning and going on a date with her after school, because I like her. But I always feel that deep down in my heart, the person I'm thinking about is someone else. When I think of this person, I feel sad, but sometimes I feel happy and even laugh out loud. Do you understand the feeling of wanting to split someone's head in half?"
"Xia Shu, do you often have headaches because of this?" I suddenly became alert after hearing his words.
Xia Shu shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that every time I think of that person, I can't see her clearly, as if something in my mind is always blocking me. The more I want to see her clearly, the farther away she is." At this point, Xia Shu suddenly touched my face, with a deep affection in his eyes that I had never seen before, "Until I saw you today. When I saw you appear just now, I felt a sudden joy in my heart, very excited and impulsive, just like every time I think of that person in my mind."
"Xia Shu..." I seemed to be bewitched by his affectionate gaze and fell into his arms obediently again.
I closed my eyes and enjoyed this beauty. But I knew that Xia Shu's tenderness was not for me, but for the figure in his mind. And that figure was Mizuho. Yes, Mizuho was the one Xia Shu liked. Since he learned that she had returned to China, Xia Shu was no longer controlled by the spell. But the spell was still working, preventing Xia Shu from remembering her appearance.
Xia Shu was only so gentle to me because he mistook me for Mizuho. Otherwise, with his personality, even if he was really worried about me, he would definitely say something that was not what he meant. But now, I don’t know what’s wrong. I want to selfishly borrow Mizuho’s identity temporarily, not quarrel with him for the time being, and enjoy his rare gentleness.
Just as I was indulging in the tenderness that did not belong to me, Xia Shu's body suddenly became a little stiff. His hands gradually let go of me, and he sat on the sofa beside me, hugged his head, and buried it deeply, so that I could not see the expression on his face. However, I could feel his pain.
"Natsuki, what's wrong with you?"
I felt anxious and looked at him carefully. I heard a voice coming out of his throat: "It hurts..."
"Where? Is it the head?"
Xia Shu nodded uncomfortably, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, he clenched his teeth tightly, and veins popped out of his neck from the force. Seeing him in so much pain, the only thing I could do was rush over, hug Xia Shu in my arms, and comfort him until his rapid breathing gradually stabilized and he fell into a coma in the pain.
I was completely awakened from my sweet dream! The spell on Xia Shu has not been lifted yet, how can I be satisfied like this? There are still many things waiting for me to do. I should not indulge in Xia Shu's tenderness, but should arrange for him to meet Rui Sui, awaken his love for Rui Sui, and use it to resist Mi Lie's spell. Although Xia Shu's tenderness will no longer belong to me, and although I still have a kind of uncomfortable and strange emotion when I think of bringing them together, I am Youye, the most beautiful and lovely pineapple elf in the elf world. It is my job to help my master get happiness, and my master's happiness is my happiness!
