Chapter 8 I didn't expect you to be that person
Why are you being so nice to me now?
Why do you care so much? Do you live by the sea?
01
The lights in the swimming classroom were bright and dazzling. I opened my eyes hazily and only saw a blurry figure.
I reached out and rubbed my eyes, finally getting used to the glaring lights here. When I was completely awake, a familiar face appeared in front of me.
Ju Chenxi looked at me confused and a little worried.
"Ju Chenxi?" I asked a little uncertainly, afraid that this was just an illusion.
At this moment, my heart was full of complaints and doubts. I had been waiting for him here for so long, but he only came now.
But Ju Chenxi seemed even more confused than me. He reached out his hand to pull me up and asked, "I couldn't get through to you on the phone. How come you fell asleep here? Didn't the training end a long time ago?"
"Didn't you ask me to wait for you?" I stretched out my hand to him and said aggrievedly.
"Me? I didn't ask you to wait for me."
Ju Chenxi pulled me up and said puzzledly.
Being locked up in the swimming class was hard enough, and I finally recovered. Now, hearing what Ju Chenxi said, I was about to collapse. I tried not to cry, but tears started to well up in my eyes uncontrollably.
"You liar, it was obviously you who asked me to come over, and I still saved the text message." I yelled, then reached out to take out my phone and wanted to show him the text message, but suddenly remembered that my phone was out of battery.
"My phone is out of battery. I'll have to charge it later to see it." I said dejectedly.
"This must be a misunderstanding." Ju Chenxi opened his phone and went to the message page, then handed it to me. I looked through all the message records, but I couldn't find the one sent to me.
"Did you delete it after posting it?" I said angrily.
Ju Chenxi thought quietly for a while, sighed again, and then said: "It wasn't sent by me"
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "It should have been sent by Han Shengya. When we went out just now, she used my phone. I didn't expect that she was trying to deceive you."
At this moment, tears suddenly flowed from my eyes like beads from a broken string, and I couldn't stop them.
Everything was just a scam by Han Shengya, but I was waiting here foolishly.
Ju Chenxi reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on my face, saying, "Don't be sad, I promise that this won't happen again in the future."
"You can't ." I said in a crying voice.
"I can guarantee that Han Shengya and I have made it clear that we will not get entangled again, and I will take good care of my phone in the future."
He paused and said, "Why are you so stupid? Can't you just call and confirm?"
Because it was you, my heart was so happy that I didn't have time to doubt the authenticity of this matter.
"I tried to contact you last time, but my phone ran out of battery."
"Next time, remember to charge your phone before you go out. Why are you always so careless? If I hadn't found you here today, you would have to wait until the next training session to go out."
"I see."
"Okay, let's stop talking about this and go home now."
As we walked down the road, I realized that I seemed to have missed a very important piece of information.
"You and Han Shengya are not together anymore?" I couldn't hide the surprise on my face.
"yes."
"Why? You guys were always fine before."
Ju Chenxi was silent for a while before answering: "This is a misunderstanding. I mistakenly thought she was the person I was looking for."
"Who are you looking for? Who exactly are you looking for?"
Ju Chenxi looked at me, as if he wanted to say something, but finally stopped talking. So I stopped talking too, and we walked back home in silence.
The next day, everything was back to normal.
The weather on that day was just like my mood, with a clear sky like a bright pool, without a single cloud.
Yesterday, Ju Chenxi saved me, but I misunderstood him. In order to express my gratitude and apology, I decided to cook a big meal for him myself.
I stood on the stairs and looked around downstairs. I found that there was a layer of dust on the refrigerator, and the decorations on the table were all Aunt Liu's favorites. They were a bit too mature. This atmosphere was not very suitable for expressing gratitude. I had to redecorate the place.
As a person of action, I started to implement the idea as soon as I came up with it.
I went to the kitchen first, put on an apron, and took a lot of cleaning supplies. After everything was ready, I started cleaning. When Ju Chenxi came downstairs, I was standing on a stool and wiping the dust on the refrigerator.
He looked at me incredulously: "Why are you so diligent today? I rarely see you cleaning normally."
"I plan to show off my cooking skills today, so the atmosphere in the dining room needs to keep up with my level."
"You...cook?"
Ju Chenxi said in surprise.
"Don't look down on me. Why can't I cook?"
Ju Chenxi shrugged and said, "I don't look down on you. I'm just a little surprised that you can cook."
He paused and said, "But you cook, so why do you have to clean up?"
I answered him angrily, "I told you that the atmosphere of the dining room should match my feast."
"There doesn't seem to be any connection between the two. What a weird logic. You're probably the only one who thinks this way."
I stuck out my tongue at him: "What do you know? This is the art of cooking."
"Cooking a meal requires so much attention. I think it's good enough that you can cook it."
"I'm sure I can make it, and it will surprise you."
He actually nodded seriously and said, "Yeah, I think I'll be surprised too."
I heard the sarcasm in his words and gave him a cold look. He gave me a look of disdain and walked out.
After working for more than half an hour, I finally cleaned up the dining room. The refrigerator, which was originally gray, was now bright and could be used as a mirror. I also took a white tablecloth and spread it on the table. I also put away all the decorations of Aunt Liu and replaced them with vases on the balcony. Although simple, they looked very nice.
I sat on the sofa, looking at my masterpiece with satisfaction, and was about to take a break when the doorbell suddenly rang .
I thought the person outside the door was here to see Aunt Liu, but when I looked through the peephole, I saw a pair of big, bright eyes. However, these eyes did not belong to a human, but to a puppy.
"Open the door quickly, what are you standing there for?"
Someone outside suddenly shouted, and I realized that the person who came back was Ju Chenxi. I quickly opened the door, but was shocked by the scene in front of me. Ju Chenxi was holding a puppy in his arms, and the dog bag was placed on the ground with all the zippers unzipped. Next to the bag, there were two large bags of dog food, one of which had been opened and had a pink clip on it.
