Chapter 7 Meeting You is an Unknown Accident 02
I put the yogurt and cola in the refrigerator, as well as the potato chips and other snacks in the cabinet into my bag, and then put the small meal I brought back from the "little forest" the night before into the lunch box. OK, perfect, everything is ready. I couldn't help but praise the two carry-on bags in front of me and the various packed foods.
"Is it done? Gu Yufan and the others are at the door."
"Did you set the alarm? So punctual." Just when I was about to go to the room to call Ju Chenxi, this guy appeared in front of me, ready to go.
"Obviously." He was such a dishonest guy, but he walked straight over and put all the bags on himself, which made me feel a little touched.
When he opened the door, he saw Jiaomei and Gu Yufan who had been waiting for a long time. It was obvious that Jiaomei had dressed up carefully. She was wearing a pink lace dress, a rural bamboo hat, and her little face was lightly smeared with rouge and lipstick. She looked very attractive indeed.
"Wow, girl, you're dressed up beautifully today." I walked up to her and teased her, and greeted Gu Yufan who was standing next to her.
"Hehe, where's Ju Chenxi?"
"In the back, holding something."
"Wow, Ju Chenxi actually took the initiative to help you get things?" Jiaomei's reaction was the same as mine at that time, disbelief.
"Right, I was also shocked just now. He has really changed a lot."
"Well, he has indeed changed a lot. Hehe, you'll know in a moment." She smiled charmingly and strangely. Behind her smile, it seemed as if there was a huge secret hidden. Except for me, the other three people knew this secret.
"What's going on? Are you trying to keep me in the dark again?" I kept pursuing.
"You'll know in a moment." Jiaomei continued to keep the secret.
"Okay, okay, I don't know what you guys are up to, huh."
"That is also Ju Chenxi's exclusive medicine, specially made to cure you, haha."
"Hateful..." Jiaomei was openly making fun of me and Ju Chenxi, which made Gu Yufan who was standing next to her laugh. Ju Chenxi happened to be taking his things out of the door, and seeing Jiaomei and I hugging each other and joking with each other, he casually said, "The passion is good." After saying that, I immediately let go of my hand hooked on Jiaomei's neck and stopped playing.
"Hey, no way." I lowered my head and explained shyly.
"Okay, let's go." At Ju Chenxi's command, the two boys carried things of different sizes, while Jiaomei and I, holding hands, skipped towards the bus stop.
A ray of light in the early morning shone on the road, and the smooth road surface suddenly looked like a pair of clean leather shoes, polished to a shine. The four of us talked and laughed on the road, just like two pairs of young lovers. People who didn't know us even cast envious eyes at us. After all, the looks of Ju Chenxi and Gu Yufan were indeed worth the passers-by's willingness to stay on them for half a second.
"Xiao Le..." A familiar face, a kind voice, and the long-lost relative appeared in my sight, and on his right stood the "home destroyer" who once belittled me and my mother to nothing.
The anger instantly focused on my eyes, I frowned, and my fingers began to tremble unnaturally because of anger. Just when I couldn't control the intense hatred in my heart and was about to rush forward, I was held tightly by a pair of warm hands.
"Calm down." Ju Chenxi looked ahead and said calmly.
"I can't stay calm! That aunt actually found her way here and held my dad's hand in front of me!" I became more and more excited as I spoke.
"What else do you want to do? Rush up and fight her? Can you be more mature? Don't forget, the person standing next to her is your father." Ju Chenxi held my hand tightly, fearing that if I wasn't paying attention, I would have already rushed over to the other side and had a big fight with that aunt. I had been holding back all this resentment in my heart since I was a child. When I was young, I was unaware of it and always retreated cowardly. Now that I've grown up, shouldn't I be allowed to give her a good beating?
"I just want to teach her a lesson and tell her that my mother and I are not afraid of her!"
"Enough, calm down! I know they are coming." Ju Chenxi turned my shoulder and looked at me.
"you know?"
"Why else do you think I wasn't in my room so early in the morning?"
After listening to Ju Chenxi's explanation, I finally understood that he had already seen his father outside the door when I went to his room and knocked on the door. And his father had waited outside the door all night because I cut off the phone line in anger. And I, the so-called "stepmother", had just come to pick up his father in the morning, so I saw the hand-holding scene when we were leaving.
"In fact, your father just wanted to see you, not to cause such a fight. We haven't seen each other for so many years." I burst into tears. Ju Chenxi let go of my hand and motioned for me to go to my father. In the end, I chose to forgive my father. My elderly father waited at the door of the house for a whole night just to see me. He said that if there was any way to atone for the sins of the past few years, he would do his best to make up for the lack of fatherly love for me before.
"I don't blame you, Dad. I don't blame you." I cried my heart out and threw myself into my father's arms, feeling the long-lost warmth from him.
"Xiao Le, you and mom, live a good life and don't blame dad."
"Wuwuwu..." Half a minute later, I waved my tears and said goodbye to my father. After this farewell, I might not see him again for several years. Wiping away her tears, she pulled my sleeve charmingly and said:
"Look, the show is about to begin." Following the direction of her charming eyes, I saw a scene that could both amuse and be considered a punishment:
A Border Collie that seemed to have been deliberately released from its cage, under the instruction of its owner, rushed towards the aunt beside my father who had destroyed my harmonious family. The Border Collie did not bite, but its ferocious posture seemed to have frightened the aunt out of her wits. I burst out laughing when I saw her jumping left and right trying to avoid the Border Collie. And before she knew it, the aunt was tripped by a large rock that seemed to have been deliberately placed on the side, and she stumbled!
"Hahahaha." Jiaomei laughed loudly, and then added, "You weird auntie, you've made such a big fool of yourself. Go home quickly and don't embarrass yourself on the side of the road. Hahaha."
"You...stinky brat!" The auntie quickly got up and stomped her feet in anger.
"Lao Yan, look at these little brats! Look at them!"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing with the child and go back."
Looking at my father's helpless eyes, his back as he left, and the aunt who had just been teased, I felt a mixture of emotions.
"Calm down now, Xiaole." She patted my shoulder charmingly, the smile on her face still there.
"What on earth is going on?" Seeing that Jiaomei seemed to be able to handle it with ease, I guaranteed that the appearance of the Border Collie dog and the large rock that caused people to trip on the roadside were definitely not accidental.
"Okay, this is the surprise I just wanted to tell you about."
Jiaomei told me the whole story. It turned out that the "behind-the-scenes manipulator" of this series was actually Ju Chenxi. I opened my mouth in surprise and my eyes involuntarily looked at him.
"Wow, Ju Chenxi, you are so awesome!" I looked at Ju Chenxi with admiration!
"My plan almost failed because of your impulsiveness."
"Okay, I won't be so impulsive next time, but thank you so much."
"There's no need to say thank you, but if we don't leave now, we might miss the special bus to the suburbs." Ju Chenxi sniffed, patted his clothes casually with his hands, then picked up his things, and without waiting for my response, he pulled Gu Yufan and walked straight forward.
"Oh, yes. Hello, wait, let's..."
By the time Jiaomei and I came to our senses, Ju Chenxi and Gu Yufan had already put a long distance between us. At this moment, Jiaomei and I grabbed our skirts and rushed forward.
Along the way, I recalled what Jiaomei said to me. She said that all of this was carefully arranged by Ju Chenxi. Knowing that my father wanted to see me, he deliberately arranged it on our way; knowing that I had resentment against the aunt who destroyed my harmonious family, he deliberately created some funny "little accidents" to embarrass her and appease the anger in my heart.
Ju Chenxi, thank you.
Thank you for all your thoughtful consideration.
