Chapter 559 The boy is my white moonlight (18)
The bell rang, heralding the end of the last subject of the college entrance examination. Shi Yi followed the footsteps of all the candidates with his file bag to the school gate.
Many parents and free taxi drivers who volunteered to pick up and drop off college entrance examination candidates had already gathered at the school gate. The young man standing in the shade also stared at the faces of the candidates who came out, fearing that
he would miss the person he was going to pick up. He didn't have to wait for long before he spotted the thin girl in the crowd. Unlike the relieved senior high school students around her, her expression was always indifferent.
Shi Yi's mobile phone had just been turned on when Chu's mother called. Chu's mother was very anxious and asked her if she had seen Chu Xu. Shi Yi replied with a question, "He returned to China?" Chu's mother immediately hung up the phone.
"Let's go." She followed the crowd and just walked to the school gate when the young man grabbed her hand. Shi Yi glanced at him, "Chu Xu?"
"You deserve praise for recognizing me." The young man stuffed her into the taxi without saying anything, and said to the driver with his head held high, "You can go now."
"Where are you going?" Shi Yi was squeezed into the back seat by him, unable to move at all. She looked out the window. The school gate was narrow to begin with, and there were other cars on the side where she was sitting, so she couldn't even open the door.
The young man tightly grasped her wrist, his eyes full of smugness, "You'll know when the time comes."
"Chu Xu, your aunt just called to look for you. Call her back." Shi Yi softened her voice.
Chu Xu looked forward, pretending not to hear anything. The car continued to drive along the avenue, and the scenery outside the window kept receding.
"We're here." The driver stopped the car. Shi Yi looked through the window and saw the sign of the "Museum".
"Here you go, no need to change." Chu Xu took out a stack of money from his wallet and handed it all to him. Shi Yi could clearly see the light in the driver's eyes that instantly sparked, and frowned secretly.
"Let's go." He opened the car door and pulled Shi Yi down again.
As if afraid that he would change his mind, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove into the avenue, quickly blending into the traffic. Shi Yi then looked directly at Chu Xu's face and said slowly: "You were too generous just now."
The taxi from school would not exceed 30 yuan at most, and the huge stack of money he just put in was so much that he didn't know how many times 30 it was.
"I feel sorry for you." Chu Xu smiled and stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders.
Shi Yi let him put his strength on her shoulders, and her feet moved forward along the path. Chu Xu said no more. The reason why he came suddenly was not to take her to the museum, but to prepare a surprise for her.
The two passed by the museum but did not enter. Shi Yi had some thoughts in her mind. She walked along the park behind the museum for a long time. Her legs were a little sore. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you there yet?"
"I thought you weren't tired!" Chu Xu teased her, half squatted down, tilted his head to the side, and said in a deep voice unique to young people, "Come up, I'll carry you."
"No." Shi Yi refused directly.
"If you don't want me and you to go home too late and make your aunt unhappy, you don't have to come up." Chu Xu stood up straight and leaned slightly against the big tree next to him, showing with his actions that he would not leave.
"Then I'll go back alone first." Shi Yi didn't indulge his temper, so she turned around and walked back.
Chu Xu really couldn't do anything with her. He grabbed her hand and held her in his arms.
"Don't move, be careful not to fall down." He said in a deep voice.
"Chu Xu, what are you going to do?" Shi Yi's tone was already impatient, and there was a flash of hurt in his eyes, but his words were still light and cynical, "You will know in a while."
Shi Yi was held tightly in his arms, and her eyes looked farther than usual. The park behind the museum was newly built and there were not many tourists yet. The unknown plants on both sides of the road were lushly sprouting leaves, which was quite beautiful.
"You can come down now." Chu Xu helped her stand steadily, and gestured forward with his hand, "Look, isn't it beautiful? I searched for this place on the map for a long time before I found it." Shi Yi
looked into the distance, and this area was full of blooming white lotuses, holy white, green leaves, clear pool water, accompanied by a cool breeze, and the whole person was intoxicated by this scene.
"It's so beautiful." She couldn't help but open her arms and took a deep breath of the fragrance of the lotus.
"Here, this is a birthday gift for you." Chu Xu took out a silver ring. Shi Yi
took a quick look and quickly looked away. Although the ring was simple in style, there was a small lotus engraved inside the ring, and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.
"Keep it." Seeing that she was hesitant, Chu Xu grabbed her hand and put it on her little finger. Worried that she would feel psychological pressure, he joked, "It's not a wedding ring, what are you afraid of?"
Because he really liked this gift, Shi Yi was no longer polite to him and said bluntly, "Thank you."
Chu Xu rubbed her head vigorously, with a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "I'm glad you like it."
Seeing Chu Xu and Shi Yi returning to the Chu family together, before Chu's mother had time to speak, Ying Xinxin, holding her daughter Li Ling, blamed her first.
"Chu Xu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, you are already twenty years old, and your sister is traveling with you, can't you take care of her? You just dropped her off at the airport and came back. It's not easy for a girl like her to carry such heavy luggage."
Li Ling's eyes were half red, and the tip of her nose was also red, obviously she had just cried.
She tried her best to avoid looking at Shi Yi and his brother, but her eyes fell on them involuntarily. She noticed the silver ring on Shi Yi's little finger. If she remembered correctly, it should be handmade by her brother. She thought it was a gift for herself.
The chest of her daughter in her arms kept rising and falling. Ying Xinxin was furious and blurted out a barrage of reproaches, "When you were a child, you had such a good relationship with our Lingling. You held on to everything good for fear that others would bully you. Now that you have a new favorite, you can throw our Lingling away like garbage? Our Lingling is a human being and has feelings. For you, she went abroad to study? Is this how you, as a brother, treat her? It's not worth it! As a mother, I really don't think it's worth it!"
Chu Xu didn't intend to have a direct conflict with his third aunt, but his words were really unpleasant. His face turned cold, "I didn't let Li Ling come with me when I came back, right?" Before everyone present could react, he had already taken Shi Yi's hand and went upstairs.
Chu's mother took in the emotions of everyone present and quickly stepped out to smooth things over. "The children have just come back. Go and have a rest. We'll have dinner together later. Otherwise, you'll be starving."
