Chapter 8 I didn't expect you to be that person 04
At this time, I noticed that Ju Chenxi's wallet was on the table in the living room. He usually treasured that wallet very much and would not let anyone see it. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, I pretended to be gossipy and asked, "Do you have any secrets in your wallet, such as a photo of your first love? I think you treasure your wallet very much."
He was so absorbed in eating that he paid little attention to me, that I had no choice but to keep talking by myself.
"I see. Is it a photo of your childhood friend?"
"Stop guessing and eat."
He finally answered me.
Ju Chenxi smiled sweetly for some unknown reason, and I knew that the wallet contained beautiful memories.
"I knew it was my first love."
"Eat quickly." Ju Chenxi pretended to say harshly.
After dinner, I volunteered to wash the dishes.
Ju Chenxi still expressed doubt: "I'm worried that you will break all the dishes in our house."
"How could that be? I can't do something this difficult."
"It may be difficult for others, but it's a piece of cake for you. Haven't you seen what the kitchen has become today? Anyway, I'm worried about you staying alone in my kitchen."
I pursed my lips in dissatisfaction: "Then you go and wash the dishes. I don't like washing dishes anyway. I just wanted to let you take a break because you're working so hard cooking."
"You wish. Just like cooking just now, you have to help me."
When the doorbell rang, Ju Chenxi just handed me a bowl. I didn't catch it and the bowl fell to the ground.
"Why are you panicking? You haven't done anything wrong."
Lulu, who was resting contentedly in the living room after dinner, actually cried out after hearing the sound of the bowl breaking. But she was not moved by the loud noise of the electric baking pan falling down just now. All this seemed like an ominous sign, and I felt a little uneasy.
"Go open the door. I'll clean up here. Luckily you were wearing gloves so you weren't hurt."
I took off my gloves and threw them into the empty sink.
When I walked out of the kitchen, Lulu suddenly stopped barking. I held it in my arms and then went to open the door.
The uninvited guest outside the door did not seem to expect my appearance. After the door opened, she said to me a little awkwardly: "I'm looking for Ju Chenxi."
I deliberately shouted loudly: "Ju Chenxi, I'm here to see you, put the bowl down, I'll wash it."
"No, you should leave it to me to wash. I think you should just not go into the kitchen anymore."
I deliberately made the conversation so intimate just to make Han Shengya jealous. Sure enough, after hearing what I said, Han Shengya showed a very slight hint of jealousy on her face.
Ju Chenxi came out of the kitchen and was obviously surprised to see Han Shengya at the door. He instantly lost his ease and said to Han Shengya in a gloomy tone, "Let's talk about it outside if there is anything."
Han Shengya leaned against the door, with her hands behind her back, and said in a somewhat demonstrative manner: "I'm going to say it here."
"Ale is still here, let's not affect her."
Han Shengya suddenly turned her head and looked at me: "Do you think we have affected you?"
Of course it had an impact, I kept repeating to myself.
But in fact I just smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay, you guys can talk here, I'll go to the kitchen to wash the dishes."
Of course, I won’t be content in the kitchen either, after all, Han Shengya is my biggest rival in love.
I thought about it carefully and found a way to cover up the fact that I was peeking and eavesdropping.
I turned on the faucet, but turned the volume down very low. Then I held Lulu in my arms and lay by the door, secretly observing the two of them.
Ju Chenxi obviously didn't want to talk to Han Shengya, so Han Shengya said to herself, "Didn't you receive the text message I sent you?"
Ju Chenxi had a blank expression on his face: "I should have received it, but I was busy cooking and didn't have time to read it." Han Shengya was obviously not very satisfied with this answer: "Why did you suddenly break up with me? Weren't we very good before? Is there someone else who showed up?"
"That was just what you thought was good. At that time, I thought you were the one I was looking for, and there was no one else."
"Is there anything wrong with me? Or if there is anything you don't like, I can change it." Han Shengya's words were already filled with tears. She has always been high and mighty, but now she has become so humble. Although I like Ju Chenxi, I also feel sorry for Han Shengya. It is the most terrible thing in the world for a person to be entangled with someone who doesn't love him or her.
Not everyone can be like Eileen Chang, who can humble herself to the dust and still bloom a flower.
"No, you're fine, it's just..."
"We are really not suitable." Ju Chenxi firmly rejected Han Shengya.
"But we haven't gotten along well yet."
" That's enough for these days."
Han Shengya suddenly became hysterical, shouting and crying, "You liar, you deceived my feelings. Why did you want to be with me in the first place when you didn't like me?"
"I'm sorry, at that time, I thought I liked you."
"Then why do you suddenly dislike it? Did I do something to make you feel disgusted?"
"No, you really..." Before Ju Chenxi could finish his "very good" sentence, Han Shengya suddenly slapped him and said coldly, "You owe me this."
Ju Chenxi stood there without saying a word. Han Shengya walked away angrily. As she walked away, a gust of wind suddenly blew up her hair, and her bangs were naturally blown up as well.
I vaguely saw the mole on her forehead, which was in the same position as my previous mole. Han Shengya tidied her bangs a little irritably, and then slammed the door.
I then turned up the water and started pretending to wash the dishes.
I don't know when, Ju Chenxi suddenly appeared behind me and said, "Let me wash it." I could see that he was in a bad mood, so I quickly moved aside.
While washing dishes, he suddenly said, "You heard everything." My face turned red. I thought I had concealed it well.
"How do you know? I clearly turned on the faucet."
"You've turned on the tap so low, and I can hear the deer's paws scratching the door from here."
I was a little surprised: “I didn’t realize that.”
Then I immediately defended myself, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just went to look for Lulu, and I was afraid that he would run away and affect your conversation."
"Then just assume that what you said is true." Ju Chenxi suddenly said seriously.
"What I say must be true."
But in a flash, Ju Chenxi returned to normal and said with a smile, "Quickly bring the rag over to wipe the dishes."
After washing the dishes, we decided to go for a walk and let Lulu get some exercise as well.
When they passed by a building by chance, Lulu suddenly became very excited and kept biting Ju Chenxi's trouser legs, signaling him to come over.
It's just that we didn't know the password to enter the building, so we could only wait under the door, thinking that maybe someone would come down after a while and then we could go in. But we waited for a long time, but no one came out.
Lulu kept calling for a long time downstairs of the building, and then I realized that this might be its owner's house.
“Its former home is here.”
"We are its owners now. Wherever we are, Lulu's home is there." said Ju Chenxi.
After passing the door of that building, Lulu became listless and followed us listlessly.
Perhaps since the moment it was born, the entire focus of its life has been placed on its owner. Now it suddenly realizes that it has lost its only dependence, as if it had lost the whole world.
It seemed as if Ju Chenxi had foreseen this scene a long time ago.
When passing a meadow, he suddenly threw a ball into the air and shouted, "Lulu, go pick up the ball."
Lulu was a little reluctant at first, but later on, she was completely immersed in the game.
It moves freely in the community, following the ball to explore.
When Lulu picked up the ball, I realized that it was the baseball in the bag. I don’t know when Ju Chenxi took it.
"I think Lulu's owner must have moved, otherwise he wouldn't have left Lulu here," I said.
"That should be the case, but I think she might be just as sad as Lulu."
I suddenly felt that Ju Chenxi seemed a little sadder than usual today, probably because of the breakup with Han Shengya.
When we got home, Lulu was covered in dirt, but he had regained his former cheerfulness. I envied his vitality.
Although Lulu was very dirty, Ju Chenxi didn't mind at all and just carried it home.
After entering the room, I said to him, "Go change your clothes first. I'll go give Lulu a bath."
"It's okay, I'll go wash it, my clothes are already dirty anyway."
"Well."
I had nothing to do, so I turned on the TV, and a talent show was playing on it.
Ju Chenxi helped Lulu dry her body, and when he carried it out, a male singer singing with a guitar was playing on TV.
I suggested, "Ju Chenxi, I haven't heard you sing before, why don't you sing a song too."
It was just a casual remark originally, and I didn't think Ju Chenxi would agree.
But he hesitated, put Lulu on the ground, and said, "Wait for me, I'll go upstairs to get the guitar."
Lulu shook off the non-existent water on her body and ran to my side.
After Ju Chenxi went downstairs, I turned off the TV. Ju Chenxi sat alone on the single sofa at the side, holding the small guitar and singing.
He sang Eason Chan's "Spend the Long Years with You".
As people come and go, you have to appreciate it even if you don’t like it.
I am a silent existence
Don't be your world, just be your shoulder...
The crisp sound flowed out like water.
I sat on the sofa with Lulu lying at my feet. This is probably what it feels like to have peace in this world.
"That's great! If you were on a talent show, you would definitely beat them."
He returned to his usual self: "I felt the same way, so I didn't participate. After all, I have to leave some opportunities for others."
After a while, I was really bored, so I turned on the TV again.
The talent show has ended, and a plastic surgery hospital advertisement is playing on TV, which introduces a freckle removal technique. I suddenly remembered the mole on Han Shengya's head. She is such a beauty-conscious person, but she can tolerate such a defect.
So I asked casually, "Do you think the mole on Han Shengya's forehead is pretty?"
Ju Chenxi answered without even thinking: "It looks good. I quite like moles like that."
I suddenly felt bad in my heart. After hesitating for a while, I finally said, "Actually, I also had a mole on my forehead before, but the little boy I met at that time said that the mole was ugly. I felt very sad at the time, so I secretly went to have it removed. But now it has suddenly become popular again. If I had known this, I would not have removed it. It is still a unique feature if I keep it."
I lifted my bangs, moved closer to Ju Chenxi, pointed at his forehead and said, "Look, although it's not very obvious, there is still a shallow scar."
Ju Chenxi stared at my forehead for a long time, and the expression on his face suddenly became complicated.
"I went upstairs."
After saying this, he hurried upstairs without even picking up his guitar.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked puzzledly.
But the only answer I got was the sound of his anxious footsteps.
I stood downstairs and watched him leave, feeling completely confused.
