Chapter 9: Confession under the Voice of Heaven 03
Idiot Duanmu Jichu actually accused me of meddling in other people's business!
If you don't like him, who would bother with such business!
Fool!
But I am the dumber one, blurting out such words that seem like a confession under such circumstances.
I ran aimlessly in the night, cursing Duanmu Jichu and myself in my heart. I didn't know how long I ran. When the atmosphere around me became completely different, I stopped alertly and found myself standing in a completely unfamiliar place. In front of me was a huge artificial lake. The smell of water vapor hit me. In the middle of the large lawn was a huge fountain, which was changing colorful lights and spraying rainbow-like water columns.
Where...is this place?
It’s over, it’s over. How did I end up in such a beautiful yet unfamiliar place?
Although I was familiar with every alley and street in the Taro Flower Market, I didn't know any beautiful places. Oh my god, if I got lost in such a place, how could I get back home?
Just when I was at a loss, the cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang. I hurriedly picked up the call. It was Duanmu Jichu calling.
"Are you a rabbit? How come you run so fast that no one can see you in the blink of an eye? With such good athletic ability, why don't you run a marathon? The next Aurora College marathon will depend on you, idiot."
His voice was quick and urgent, sounding a little exasperated, but he still maintained his usual venomous and sarcastic style, and the last word "idiot" was almost a shout.
I didn't have time to argue with him. I looked around and said tremblingly: "Duanmu Jichu, I... I seem to be lost..."
"Lost?" Duanmu Jichu was just as frightened as I was when I found myself lost. After he finished yelling, he started to scold me loudly, "You are really an idiot! Rice Cake Girl, I really have to take back what I said about you being a third-rate defective, because you are not even third-rate, you are simply a primitive paramecium, a single-celled idiot! Is this your first day in the Taro Flower Market? How could you get lost? Or even the aliens couldn't stand your idiocy and kidnapped you to Mars? Tell me where you are now, and I'll find you!"
Being lost was depressing enough, and after being scolded by him like this, my mood had sunk to the bottom. I began to describe my surroundings to him in frustration: "I seem to be in a park. There is a big lake in front of me. It's very beautiful. There is also a fountain. It's super big, bigger than the rainbow fountain behind our school... and then there are flower beds and lawns..."
"There are at least a dozen places you described in the entire Yuhua City. Be more specific, or find some special buildings!" For some reason, Duanmu Jichu started to get angry again, and his voice became louder and louder, making my ears buzz.
"Wait! A fountain bigger than the Rainbow Fountain..." He suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted, "It should be Mirror Water Park. Are you in Mirror Water Park?"
How would I know? There wasn't even a sign nearby. I said with a sad face, "I don't know, but it's a park anyway."
"Forget it, I'll go find you. You stay there and don't move! But..." He suddenly changed the subject and coughed a little embarrassedly, "First, tell me how to get to Fenghe Road. I parked my car in the underground parking lot of Fenghe Road."
Well……
Wind and Road...
Young Master, Fenghe Road is the road next to my house. How did you find my house?
"Fenghe Road is right next to my house. Turn left after you go out of my gate and walk 10 meters to get there..." Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?
"I'm just very far away from your home. I don't even know how far I am from Fenghelu, so I'm asking you how to get back! Stop talking nonsense. I'm not directionally challenged. Tell me how to get back!"
Master, don't tell me you are lost too...
Moreover...the fact that you deliberately said "I'm not a directionally challenged person" makes me even more convinced that you are a complete directionally challenged person.
I'm standing here waiting for someone with a poor sense of direction to rescue me...
Woo woo woo, why do I suddenly feel so desperate?
But there is no other way at the moment, so I should tell him how to get back to Fenghe Road, let him get the car, use the GPS system in the car to search for the location of the water park, and then come to find me.
"Which road are you on now? There should be a road sign on the side of the road..."
"Wait, let me look for it... What a crappy road, why are there so few road signs? Ah, I found it, Zilin Road..."
"Okay, it's not far from Fenghe Road. Go east and turn left at the first intersection..."
"East... which way is east? Hey, it's not that I have a bad sense of direction, it's just that this road is too twisted, there's an uphill slope, and the architectural style of the building is also terrible!"
Uh... poor sense of direction means poor sense of direction. What does it have to do with the style of the building?
"Forget it, then go right and see if you can find a convenience store..."
"Wait...no..."
"Then on the left..."
"No! Rice Cake Girl, are you kidding me?"
"No, no, it's you who can't tell the direction, okay? Ah! Traffic light, go to the traffic light and turn right..."
"Traffic light... traffic light... there is no traffic light!"
"Forget it, I think you should give up on returning to Feng and Lu. If you continue like this, we will both starve to death on the roadside because we are lost..."
"Stop talking nonsense. If I don't go back, what will you do?"
…
We talked on the phone for an hour with no communication at all. Duanmu Jichu, who was a complete idiot about directions, couldn't find Fenghe Street, which was only two streets away from him, and my phone was completely out of battery.
I could only resign myself to my fate and circle around the fountain. I once heard a saying on a TV program: angels love fountains on earth because they are the purest places . If you make a wish to a fountain, the angels will definitely hear it and help you realize your wish.
So, what should I wish for?
Let Duanmu Jichu find me quickly?
What did you find me for?
I blurted out "I like you" to him. If he finds me and asks me about it, how should I explain it to him?
Did I say something wrong by accident?
No one would believe that.
So pretend nothing happened?
Well, I am the best at playing dumb. But this time, I don't want to play dumb at all. It took a lot of effort for him and I to get to this point...
My heart was in a mess, but I couldn't help but put my hands together and shouted loudly to the fountain: "Angel, please bless Duanmu Jichu, that idiot and jerk, to come here soon."
I don’t know if the angel really heard what I said, the color of the fountain suddenly stopped changing and froze into a soft sea blue. Streams of water shot up into the sky, as crystal clear and beautiful as a stairway to heaven.
"Wow... so beautiful!" I couldn't help but look up in amazement. There was a soft blue around me and the sky was still dotted with stars. I almost thought I had turned into a mermaid princess in a fairy tale, looking forward to the prince's ship.
"Rice cake girl, why are you opening your mouth so wide? It's so ugly!"
Suddenly, a voice as cold and gentle as the sound of the sea water under the moonlight rang in my ears. I turned my head suddenly and actually saw Duanmu Jichu's face. He smiled at me with a sense of relief as if we had met in a dream: "It would be scary to stand here in the middle of the night."
The angel really heard my wish!
It really took a person with a poor sense of direction to find me!
Is it fate?
If this is fate, then I, Ye Ye, will spend my whole life thanking God for his favor to me.
So happy……
"Duanmu Jichu, you..." I stared at him in a daze, "You can't even tell the direction, how...how did you find this place?"
"Who knows? I just felt that the smell of idiots was the strongest around here, so I walked over to take a look. I didn't expect to find Jingshui Park, and then I saw a monster with a big mouth standing by the fountain in a daze..." Duanmu Jichu said as he walked towards me, looked at me quietly for a while, and then suddenly hugged me in his arms, "Nian Gao girl, I finally found you."
"Well..." I couldn't hold back my tears and burst out. I stretched out my arms and hugged him tightly. I buried my head in his arms, crying and smiling, saying, "You are so slow, bastard. Don't you know that I will be scared if I am alone outside?"
"You're scared, so why did you run out?" Duanmu Jichu let me go and patted my head. His tone was very bad, but the expression on his face softened unconsciously. He asked expectantly, "Hey, is what you said before you ran out true?"
What I said before I ran out?
Could it be the sentence "If I hadn't fallen in love with you accidentally, who would care about your business?"
Is this what he cares about?
Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, Duanmu Jichu seemed a little anxious. He grabbed my hand and asked nervously: "Is it true or false? Do you like me? You just said you like me, is that true?"
"What if it's true?" I lowered my head and asked cautiously.
Yes, I do like him. Even though he only knows how to bully and tease me, I still fall hopelessly in love with him. Although I don't want to admit it at all, maybe, possibly, probably I really like being abused, woo woo woo...
"Great..." Duanmu Jichu let out a long sigh of relief and hugged me again. This time he was very strong, as if he wanted to embed me into his body, pressing me so hard that I could hardly breathe. Then he slowly whispered in my ear, "Nian Gao girl, although you are the most tasteless, most temperamental, most mean, most naughty, and most playful girl I have ever met, I feel very happy. I feel that my life is very fulfilling when I am with you. When I realized this, I was struggling in my heart, but in the end I had to admit that I like you too. Nian Gao girl, I like you. I finally found something as important as money."
As important as money?
Please, you made me so happy for so long, I just equated it with money...
"Why do I have to be as important as money, you bastard Duanmu Jichu, how can anyone express love like you do?" I pouted and muttered softly in his arms, but my heart was already beaming with joy.
Even if it's as important as money, even if the words I express my love to you are awkward, Duanmu Jichu, I like you, and you like me too...
Perhaps as early as in that alley, when I met you in your coma and you hugged me tightly, we were destined to be entangled for the rest of our lives.
So, just accept your fate.
The fountain next to us sprayed colorful water again, and the angel seemed to bless us. A shining meteor with a beautiful tail slid down from our heads. In the distance, someone set off fireworks, and the brilliant colors almost illuminated half the sky.
Duanmu Jichu and I hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's heartbeats with all our strength, and feeling the happiness that began from this moment...
