Chapter 9: Confession under the Voice of Heaven 02
After receiving Leo's belated farewell call, I slowly calmed down. Although I still couldn't laugh as heartily as before, I had let it go. I also figured it out. Breaking up now is better than continuing to deceive him.
Today is Sunday. I helped my mother set up the stall as usual. On the way back from delivering the takeaway, I unexpectedly saw Duanmu Jichu.
He was wearing a sky blue T-shirt, with a shiny anchor-shaped chain around his neck, leaning against a tree next to my house. When he saw me coming, he stood up straight, curled his lips at me, and showed a long-lost smile: "Nian Gao girl, long time no see, you are still alive."
Come on, it's been such a long time since we last met, and this is what makes me angry! Asshole.
"I'm so sorry, I'm still alive." I glared at him reflexively, but when I saw his smile, my heart couldn't help but soften. Then I couldn't help but think of the feeling of him hugging me tightly, and my face turned red unconsciously.
This guy……
He actually came to my house to find me...
And he laughed again...
Why?
Wasn't he feeling guilty for betraying his best friend? Why did he come to me on his own initiative?
Uh...wait a minute , could he be Duanmu Jimo in disguise?
This guy Duanmu Jimo often plays tricks on me, so this is very possible.
So I quickly pointed to the side and shouted, "Ah, Yuanyuan! Why are you here?" Then I saw the boy's face in front of me with an unchanged expression, and then I was sure, muttering, "It turns out to be Duanmu Jichu."
That’s right, if it was Duanmu Jimo, there would be no way he would not react when hearing Bai Yuanyuan’s name. At least his eyes would be different. Even if they look alike, eyes can’t lie.
"Bai Yuanyuan? Where is she? Is there something wrong with your eyes?" Duanmu Jichu turned his head and realized that he had been fooled. He frowned and glared at me unhappily, then walked up to me and knocked me hard on the head. "Or is there something wrong with your brain? I've been waiting for you here for two hours. What's your attitude? At least invite me to your home first. You don't even know the most basic manners. I really can't have too high expectations of a third-rate defective like you."
"You suddenly appeared here like a ghost, so of course I... of course I couldn't react..." I held my head which was hurt by his blow and pulled my old baseball cap down a little, not wanting him to see the sunburn on my face that hadn't healed yet, because those scars had turned into black and purple scars, which were really ugly. "If you want to go in and sit down, go in and sit down. I still have to help my mom pack up, so I don't have time to entertain you."
"Wait..." Duanmu Jichu noticed that I was holding my hat down and saw through my plot. He grabbed my arm and dragged me under the street light. He took off my hat and his expression suddenly became uglier. "Why hasn't your face healed yet? Even if there are marks, they shouldn't be as serious as yours. Did you treat and maintain your skin properly?"
"I...I..." I didn't have the heart to care about my face. I just applied some cooling and heat-relieving medicine at home. Besides, I'm not that squeamish. The recovery ability of the poor is first-class.
I tried hard to refute him in my heart, but facing his murderous eyes, I couldn't say a word. I even felt guilty: "I... applied ointment..."
But when he heard what I said, his face immediately turned pale. He angrily let go of my hand, took out his cell phone and dialed a number: "Ask Dr. Chen to come to my place, No. 110 Fenghua Street. That's right, hurry up, and bring more medicine for sunburn."
Then he took me into my home.
"Oh, Master Ji Chu, is that damn girl finally back? I'm so sorry to bother you to wait in person. Master Ji Chu, please take a seat and have some tea..."
My mother had already dressed up and was waiting at the door. She looked like a completely different person. She greeted Duanmu Jichu with a very bright smile and gave one of the only two stools in the house to Duanmu Jichu, and put the other one next to her. Of course, I could only stand.
It turns out that this bastard Duanmu Jichu had already informed my mom, and just now he said something like "At least invite me to your house and sit for a while first. You don't even know the most basic manners." What a bastard!
"Thank you for the hospitality, Auntie. Please come sit with me." Duanmu Jichu took the teacup with a smile, sat elegantly on the stool, and chatted with my violent mother with a proper smile, "Auntie, you are really good at making tea. Have you ever learned from a professional teacher ?"
My mother pretended to be shy and replied, "Oh, Master Ji Chu, you are really good at talking. It's not that good, but I did win the championship of the Fenghua Street Tea Brewing Competition, oh, hehe..."
Hey, mom, what's that expression on your face? You're smiling like that, isn't it too ugly? And when has Fenghua Street ever held a tea-making competition? You really don't need to think before you lie.
And oh, why are these two people so fierce and ferocious when facing me, but can smile peacefully when facing each other? Have they transformed? The big bad wolf suddenly turned into a little white rabbit?
Woohoo, I just feel so sad! Please, both of you get back to normal soon.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of brakes outside the door, and a doctor-like man came in with two beautiful nurses. Duanmu Jichu raised his finger and pointed at me, and said, "Look at the sunburn on her face, treat it well, and don't be polite with the medicine. It's better to give her a few more injections."
Uh…what do you mean you’re welcome to take the medicine, and it’s better to get a few more injections?
Do you think I'm a toy? No, I'm most afraid of injections!
I wanted to cry but had no tears. Just when I wanted to refute, I found that I had no room to speak. The doctor said "Yes, Master Jichu" and waved to the nurses behind him. The two pretty and weak nurses immediately lifted me up and dragged me to the room beside. They checked, cleaned, and applied medicine... Finally, they gave me two injections. After more than half an hour, I was finally free. When I walked out with a face covered with various medicines, only Duanmu Jichu was left in the living room.
"Your mother said she was going to play mahjong and left you to me, and she also said that I don't have to be polite to you."
Duanmu Jichu leaned against the door frame, shrugged at me, and sneered twice with a smug look: "Your mother is really open-minded."
It's embarrassing, isn't it? What kind of mother would push her daughter to a boy and say something that could be misunderstood, such as "Don't be polite to her"?
Mom, am I really your biological child?
Woo woo woo…
And... Duanmu Jichu, didn't you say that it was your fault that Leou left, and everything was your fault? Why did you come to me again?
The doctor and the nurse also left, leaving only Duanmu Jichu and I in the room. I turned around and walked to the balcony, sat on the small stone platform that belonged to me, looked at the starry sky and asked Duanmu Jichu with some sadness: "Why did you... come to see me?"
"Le Ou...called me..." Duanmu Jichu sat quietly beside me, looking up at the stars in the sky like me.
It turned out that Le Ou also called him.
"What did he say?" I asked him nervously, looking up.
"Why should I tell you? This is my private matter." He raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to irritate me, and curled the corners of his lips at me with a childish smile, "This is between him and me, it has nothing to do with you."
"Stingy guy." I glanced at him, turned my head back to look at the stars in the sky, and said in a low voice, "We broke up."
Duanmu Jichu was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything, but just responded lightly: "Oh."
For the next few dozen minutes, he didn't say anything. He just sat quietly on the small stone platform, imitating me, looking at the stars in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hey..." Finally, I couldn't stand the silence anymore and took the initiative to talk to him, "Duanmu Jichu, what are your plans for the couple's house?"
"I plan to build the first couple's house for trial operation at Aurora College, collect some data, and then promote it after improvement." When he mentioned the couple's house, he seemed to be more energetic. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at me seriously and said, "Nian Gao girl, I heard about you going to see my uncle. I warn you, you only need to do this once, not a second time. You don't need to meddle in my affairs."
Don't you want me to mind my business?
I originally wanted to have a good chat with him, but when I heard this, I suddenly became angry. He said I was meddling in other people’s business?
It turns out that I did so many things, spent a whole day in the sun, made myself look miserable, and also hurt Le Ou because of him, so I was just meddling in other people's business?
When I thought of Leo, my heart began to ache uncontrollably, and I became inexplicably angry, so I stood up and shouted at him desperately: "Yes! I am meddling in your business. If I hadn't fallen in love with you by accident, who would have meddled in your business..."
After yelling for a while, I realized what I had said. Embarrassment and anger made me at a loss. I didn't know how to face him next, so I turned around and ran out of the house quickly.
