Chapter 399 Qin Jiahuai's parents have problems
School.
As usual.
Chu Yao was running on the playground and Zhu Huan was taking a walk.
Chu Yao ran another lap, and Zhu Huan suddenly came over, happily grabbed her arm, and said excitedly: "It's done! Finally, the house is added to my name, and I'm also given living expenses!"
"That's great!" Chu Yao was also happy for her.
After returning to the dormitory, Chu Yao immediately shared the results of the battle with Qin Jiahuai.
"...Although she can't live in the house for the time being, if her brother causes trouble again in the future, she can still use this method to deal with him!"
Qin Jiahuai was happy when he heard that she was happy.
But he couldn't help but feel sorry for the other versions of her.
Some versions of the story even say that she didn't go to college in the same year as her, and her only good partner died not long after that.
How did she get through it all by herself?
Fortunately, everything is fine in this version.
He and her in the future joined forces to redeem her in the present.
Let her have family and friends, let her smile more often and become more cheerful...
This really gave him a sense of accomplishment.
-
After a busy exam month, the first semester of college is over.
The time has come to 2017.
Chu Yao's roommates were a little distant from her at first.
But as time went on, everyone became familiar with each other and got along quite well.
I don't turn against people I hate, but instead treat them like familiar strangers.
On the first day of winter vacation, Lin Yu sent an announcement to the class group:
"Regarding the requirements for winter vacation social practice... the goal is to connect with society and cultivate a sense of responsibility. It doesn't require a specific major... In principle, it should be no less than seven days. Participation can earn academic credits or qualify for an evaluation..."
This should be something that most schools have, encouraging everyone to find a job during the winter vacation.
Zhu Huan told Chu Yao that she had found a winter break job at a convenience store in Tangjing, and the overtime pay during the New Year was quite high.
Chu Yao and Qin Jiahuai returned to Fengpu together.
But because the Qin family members were scattered all over the world, and Jiang Yuman also had to go to a country with a good natural environment for a meeting during the Chinese New Year, the Qin family agreed to reunite in that country and celebrate the Chinese New Year together.
The next day after returning to Fengpu, Qin Jiahuai went abroad.
-
After Chu Yao returned home, she also rested for a few days.
But I soon got bored.
Qin Jiahuai went abroad.
Her former high school classmates are still busy studying in their senior year and have not had their winter break yet.
I should go out and work and do my social practice during the winter vacation.
She plans to look for nearby jobs on the local website.
Suddenly, I received a message from Lin Yu: "Chu Yao, have you made any arrangements for your social practice? My parents arranged for me to help with data statistics at the Municipal Hospital Physical Examination Center. If you are interested, you can come along."
Municipal Hospital, Physical Examination Center... I'm really curious about how this place works.
When she was hesitating whether to go, Qin Jiahuai's video call popped up again.
Chu Yao's eyes lit up, and she sat cross-legged and immediately answered the call: "Qin Jiahuai, it's midsummer in the Southern Hemisphere, right? Is it very hot? Have you seen your uncle and aunt?"
Qin Jiahuai didn't say anything and just looked at her quietly.
As he listened to her speak, his eyes visibly turned red.
Chu Yao's heart sank, and the joy she had just felt disappeared without a trace.
There's something so wrong with him.
I've known him since childhood, and unless something drastic had happened, he would never have shown his vulnerability so obviously.
Chu Yao asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." He smiled faintly and turned to the rear camera. "Whatever gift you want, pick it yourself."
He is now in a gift shop.
There are many local cultural and creative products in the store, all of which are animal-themed.
Koalas, kangaroos, kookaburras, platypuses...
Soon, Chu Yao saw the one that caught her eye. "Stop! That gray, fluffy pendant. It looks very unique, like an upside-down heart."
“…” Qin Jiahuai said nothing and laughed muffledly.
Chu Yao was confused: "What are you laughing at?"
Qin Jiahuai: "I don't recommend this. Pick something else."
Chu Yao thought for a moment: "But I think that one is the cutest."
"That's fine." Qin Jiahuai stopped persuading her and took down the pendant she had chosen and held it in his hand.
He stood quietly for a long time, then suddenly said, "I'll go back to Fengpu tomorrow."
He still didn't turn the camera back, so Chu Yao didn't know what his expression was.
She felt something was wrong: "You've only been there for three or four days, why did you come back? Why didn't you spend the New Year with your uncle and aunt before coming back?"
He interrupted her: "I will go back tomorrow. I want to see you."
The voice was not loud, but very firm.
Without waiting for Chu Yao to say anything else, he hung up the phone.
Something had definitely happened to him.
Chu Yao opened his circle of friends.
But he is a person with very low social desire and never shares his life publicly.
He posted two messages in 2016, one about himself becoming an adult and one about her becoming an adult.
As long as he didn't tell her, she would never know what happened to him.
By the way, I haven’t replied to Lin Yu yet.
Chu Yao: "No, I have other plans, thank you."
Lin Yu: “Okay.”
-
Two days later, Qin Jiahuai arrived in Fengpu and went to see Chu Yao immediately.
Chu Yao observed him and nothing seemed to be wrong.
He also brought back the gift she wanted.
It was very hard inside and fluffy outside, which felt great, so Chu Yao immediately put it on.
"There's another gift." Qin Jiahuai took out another stuffed bear from his bag.
Chu Yao's eyes lit up. This was the same one her father bought for her when she was a child.
When I opened the label, I saw that it was also limited to 1998!
It’s just… Chen Yanbai had already given her one that was exactly the same.
Qin Jiahuai went to her room and took the teddy bear from the cabinet without saying a word and replaced it with the one he had given her.
Then throw Chen Yanbai's teddy bear directly into the trash can!
Go away!
I've been unhappy with you for more than a year!
Chu Yao looked at the trash can and went over to pick it up: "I don't think this is good for you."
“…” Qin Jiahuai was a little angry.
But I soon realized that with my current status, I had to express my anger secretly.
But think about it again, Chen Yanbai transferred to another school and basically disappeared from the world.
As for what he did… maybe at the beginning, he had a lot of bad ideas, but in the end, he just didn't accomplish anything.
To Chu Yao, he was just an ordinary classmate with whom she had a distant relationship, and they might never have a deep interaction again in this life.
She will gradually forget about such people.
Unlike the original version, it was a love-hate relationship.
Now that she had thrown away the things he had given her, she felt guilty.
He took Chen Yanbai's bear into his own hands and said, "Give this one to me. I was also born in 1998, and I want a limited edition bear too."
Chu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Then you can't throw it away."
Qin Jiahuai laughed: "No."
They also have to thank their rival for sending them a couple's gift.
Chu Yao agreed.
She remembered how sad he looked when he video-called her the day before yesterday, and couldn't help but ask.
"What happened to you that day? Was it because your uncle and aunt were too busy at work that you didn't see them?"
Qin Jiahuai's body stiffened slightly.
Chu Yao realized that she shouldn't ask, and immediately said: "Let's not talk about it anymore, let's go to the supermarket to buy groceries, and we can also pick up grandma on the way."
Still no response.
Chu Yao reached out and poked his arm: "Let's go?"
Qin Jiahuai turned around, hugged her tightly, and rested his chin gently on the top of her soft head.
She froze for a moment, then subconsciously tried to push him away, her hand against his chest, but she felt his arm tighten again.
"Just for a moment." His muffled voice came from above his head, low and hoarse, "Please."
After hearing these three words, Chu Yao finally stopped refusing and leaned quietly in his arms.
After a long while, he spoke: "I saw my father and my mother."
Chu Yao suddenly had a bad feeling: "Uncle and aunt...had a fight?"
