Chapter 34
On the way to the nearby elementary school, Xia Linxia noticed that Ji Fengxue was ignoring her. No matter what she said, the other party's responses were perfunctory, as if she were angry.
It was just playing with the cake.
She got up from the last row and sat down next to Song Wanyi. The couple who had been clinging to each other immediately separated.
Song Wanyi asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Linxia pulled her aside to whisper, "Do you think Ji Fengxue is angry?"
"No way, Teacher Ji doesn't seem like someone who gets angry." Song Wanyi looked back at the person sitting by the window. She could only see a profile, which looked extremely gentle. Suddenly, Ji Fengxue looked over at them, her calm eyes carrying a chill, and a barely perceptible hint of annoyance?
Almost at the same time, both of them averted their gazes.
Song Wanyi patted her chest and said in a low voice, "It seems she really is angry, but it's understandable. You wasted the cake she worked hard on all night, and you did it in front of the whole country. I would be angry too."
"Is it that serious?" Xia Linxia was puzzled. Wasn't this just a little playful teasing between friends?
"What if someone took off your makeup in front of everyone? Would you be angry?"
"Angry! That's too vicious!" Xia Linxia immediately understood Ji Fengxue's feelings after putting herself in her shoes.
That's right, not only did she embarrass Ji Fengxue, but she also went to the restroom to wash her face again. Wasn't this indirectly forcing her to appear bare-faced on camera?
Oh dear, I was too much.
As they were talking, something on Song Wanyi's finger flashed her. She grabbed her hand and held it up to look. The sunlight from outside the car shone in, reflecting off it.
"Wow, this diamond ring is huge!" Xia Linxia exclaimed enviously, "Did Xue Hui give it to you?"
"Mhm." Song Wanyi blushed slightly. "He went to my house for dinner yesterday and gave my mom a gift, which really pleased her... Then he proposed to me."
"Really!" Xia Linxia said in surprise, turning her head to look at Xue Hui. "Good job."
Xue Hui smiled shyly, "I have to thank Teacher Ji for helping me come up with the idea. Although there was no jade at the auction, I managed to bid on a calligraphy and painting, which unexpectedly pleased the elder."
Xia Linxia remembered what Ji Fengxue had said when she left last week. She didn't expect it to actually work out and bring them an unexpected surprise.
Thinking of this, she bent over and slipped back. Ji Fengxue was resting with one hand supporting her forehead.
"Hey, Lao Ji, Xue Hui proposed to Wanyi." Xia Linxia nudged her shoulder.
"Mhm." Ji Fengxue responded faintly, without opening her eyes.
"Do you still have that auction?" Xia Linxia nudged her arm again.
Ji Fengxue gently pushed her away, signaling her not to move. Unexpectedly, Xia Linxia hugged her arm with both hands and cried out, "Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. I was wrong, okay? I promise I'll never use your face to smash cakes again."
Ji Fengxue was having a headache. As soon as they reached their destination and the car stopped, she got out of the car, passing Xia Linxia.
"Angry women are so troublesome," Xia Linxia muttered, wrapping her hands around each other a few times before crossing her arms and getting out of the car, pouting.
From a distance, they could see a group of little ones standing on the playground, wearing old school uniforms, with two rosy patches on their cheeks. Each of them held up a small red flag: "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome."
Xia Linxia couldn't help but smile. She walked to Ji Fengxue's side and asked with a smile, "Doesn't it look like the scene when you visited my house last time? My parents almost really held up flags to welcome you."
After speaking, seeing that Ji Fengxue didn't react, she turned her head and rolled her eyes at the sky. Therefore, she didn't notice the fleeting smile on Ji Fengxue's face.
The principal was a man nearing fifty, with weathered lines on his face. He walked forward with a smile and introduced, "Hello, everyone. These are all children from our village. This is the only elementary school in the entire village. Thank you for your visit today."
Fang Qiushuang and Tang Yuande had already gone forward to play with the children, and Song Wanyi and the other also joined in.
Xia Linxia glanced at Ji Fengxue, thinking that she couldn't be out of place. Without a word, she took Ji Fengxue's hand and went to play with the children.
It would be easier to carry out the subsequent activities after establishing a good relationship with the children first. The children rarely watched videos, but for Xia Linxia, who dominated the television screen, they were very familiar.
Therefore, a group of children surrounded Xia Linxia, looking at her curiously, as if they couldn't believe that the person from the television had actually appeared before them.
A little boy asked, "Pretty sister, are you really from the TV?"
Xia Linxia replied, "No, I'm a princess who ran away from Disneyland."
Little girl: "Wow! Disneyland! Is that the Disneyland with Snow White?"
Xia Linxia: "Yes, it's the place with many princesses. Be careful, little princess, you might be taken away."
The little girl immediately blushed shyly. Another little girl also asked shyly, "Can I go then?"
"Yes, you are all so beautiful and cute, you are all underage princesses!" Xia Linxia said, and then a group of little girls started chattering incessantly.
[I'm just quietly watching this runaway princess from Disneyland laugh haha]
[Hahahaha, I actually kind of like a celebrity with such thick skin, what's going on?]
[I dropped, this explanation is actually a bit heartwarming]
[Every little girl is a princess!!!]
Ji Fengxue felt... extremely impressed by her ability to talk her way out of anything.
As expected, when a woman opens her mouth, anything is possible.
She stood by for a while, her gaze sweeping over the circles of the other two couples. She noticed a little girl sitting in the corner, drawing on the ground with a stick.
"What are you playing?"
The little girl stopped and looked up at the beautiful big sister who had suddenly appeared. She looked like a fairy descending to earth, so beautiful that she felt ashamed of herself. She lowered her head and continued to draw without a word.
Ji Fengxue's heart twitched. The little girl was about ten years old, with beautiful eyes, but she had a large blackish-blue birthmark on her right cheek.
She sat down next to the little girl, picked up a stick at random, and drew with her.
After a long time, the little girl quietly asked, "Don't you hate me?"
"I don't know you yet, why should I hate you?"
"Because... I'm ugly." The little girl mumbled, "My parents hate me. They don't want me, only my brother."
"I'm ugly too." Ji Fengxue sighed, pointing the stick at Xia Linxia, and asked, "Do you think that sister is beautiful?"
The little girl secretly glanced at her and nodded.
"She's ugly too."
The little girl couldn't believe it. She glanced at Xia Linxia again and shook her head, "You're lying. You're both beautiful."
"Because we're wearing makeup, and we're not good-looking after taking it off, so we don't take it off easily." Ji Fengxue suddenly smiled, "Look at that sister if you don't believe me."
The little girl looked over curiously.
"Xia Xia," Ji Fengxue suddenly called out.
"What?"
"Can you take off your makeup now?"
"You're dreaming!" Xia Linxia yelled, made an ugly face, and then turned to chat nonsense with the children again.
"See, she doesn't even dare to take off her makeup and show her ugly appearance. And her funny faces, aren't they quite amusing?" Ji Fengxue said, and then she started laughing.
That funny face was really lacking in image.
The little girl also started to laugh.
[So heartwarming, Teacher Ji, ❤️ ❤️ ❤️]
[OMG, I really love watching the interactions between Ji Fengxue and Xia Linxia, they're so damn fun]
[For some reason, I always feel that Fairy Ji is actually slyly wicked, and she has Xia Linxia completely under her thumb]
[The little girl is very beautiful, keep it up! We are all princesses!]
[Only Xia Linxia is different, she's the pea princess haha]
Half an hour later, it was time for the children to go to class. The group each chose a classroom to attend. Xia Linxia scanned the area and slipped into the classroom where Ji Fengxue was. The latter was sitting next to a girl.
The little girl glanced at her and quickly lowered her head.
Xia Linxia raised her eyebrows in surprise, pulled over a stool, and sat down on the girl's other side, sighing, "You're so cool."
After a long time, the girl asked curiously, "Are... are you talking about me?"
"Yes." Xia Linxia turned her head and looked at her face seriously.
The little girl immediately lowered her head, wishing she could burrow into the gap between the tables, her eyes slowly reddening. She was most afraid of this kind of scrutinizing gaze.
"My mom used to tell me that every child receives a gift from God when they are born, but he leaves more obvious marks on children he favors, hoping that everyone can see this favored child."
The little girl pursed her lips, and a tear fell onto her cheek.
"I received a gift too." Xia Linxia pointed to her back. "But it's here, I can't show it, it makes me so angry. So, tell me, aren't you the coolest girl in the crowd?"
The little girl was amused by her again. As she laughed, she suddenly nodded heavily, "Mhm!"
Xia Linxia smiled and patted her head, meeting Ji Fengxue's gaze and giving her a wink.
Ji Fengxue's lips curved, and she also reached out to pat the little girl's head. Their hands accidentally touched, but neither paid it any mind.
[Sob sob sob sob sob sob sob sob, so touching!]
[Thank you Xia Linxia, I also have an ugly birthmark on my face, and I'm so self-conscious that I don't dare to look people in the eye. From today on, I must be confident!]
[So heartwarming, perhaps this is the idol I should be a fan of, I'm joining the fan club! Immediately! Right now!]
Xia Linxia returned to the car, took out her guitar, and went to give the children a music lesson. Before long, melodious children's voices drifted from the classroom.
The class teacher and Ji Fengxue stood in the corner, watching the scene, and smiled, "I used to not understand why young people liked chasing stars, but now I think I understand a little."
Ji Fengxue asked with a smile, "Because of her?"
"Yes, a beautiful and kind young lady, who wouldn't like her? Most importantly, she can bring strength to others, and that's enough." The class teacher adjusted his glasses. "I heard you are a couple, you are quite a match. I wish you happiness."
Ji Fengxue's smile paused, and she said with a smile, "Thank you."
After class, the children clamored to watch Xia Linxia perform. She thought for a moment and then played a song, singing, "I want to send you a text message, am I right or wrong? I want to call you right away, am I right or wrong..."
Ji Fengxue was stunned and stared at her intently.
The children didn't understand anything, they just clapped.
Xia Linxia walked towards them with her guitar on her back, still singing, "The first thing I do when I wake up today is that the cake is beautiful. Whether I'm angry or happy, Lao Ji, you are the most beautiful~"
As the last note fell, Xia Linxia stopped in front of her. The two leaned against the door, the class teacher wisely moved aside.
Ji Fengxue tilted her head, looking at her delicate and flawless profile. The sun shone through the space between them, lengthening their shadows. The noisy sounds of children surrounded them.
At this moment, it felt as if the surrounding scenery had slowed down, and something else had sped up.
[What are you staring at? Hurry up and take a screenshot!]
[Xia Linxia is also quite good at flirting! These two women are too good, too good, too good! ]
[I don't know why, but I feel like this is an apology for the cake incident this morning? Hahahaha, this song has gotten stuck in my head]
After a long time, Ji Fengxue asked softly, "Do you really know what I'm angry about?"
Xia Linxia nodded.
"Then tell me." Ji Fengxue didn't quite believe her.
"Because I pranked you, and I ruined the cake you made with your own hands, and you had to wash your face... you felt embarrassed." Xia Linxia said, thinking she knew best, "Don't worry, I will definitely uphold your dignity!" I'll do it again next time.
Ji Fengxue: "......" Speechless.
Xia Linxia looked at her a few times and said uncomfortably, "I rarely apologize to people. I even sang for you... If you don't accept it, it's too much."
What else could Ji Fengxue do? Of course, she had to forgive her:)
In the afternoon, everyone played games with the children. Ji Fengxue took the children from this class to the grass to play "Eagle Catches Chickens." Xia Linxia released her pre-battle threat: "You little chicks, don't even think about escaping my grasp!"
Children: "Nyah nyah."
Xia Linxia made a fierce face, then chased the chicks all over the field. After seven or eight rounds, the children laughed more and more happily, but the two adults were tired and out of breath.
Xia Linxia stared intently at the little girl behind Ji Fengxue, panting with her hands on her knees. She wiped the sweat from her face, her eyes shining, "Today, you definitely won't be able to protect your child!"
Ji Fengxue was quite tired. She thought they were just playing casually, but she didn't expect Xia Linxia to be so energetic and play so seriously and diligently.
So, she had to diligently play the role of "mother hen," with her hands held out and not put down.
At this moment, Xia Linxia suddenly sped up, running in circles. The little girl, seeing that she was about to be caught, screamed and laughed.
After spinning quickly for more than ten laps, Ji Fengxue's head was spinning. She noticed the other party suddenly reaching out and quickly blocked it with her hand. While struggling, she accidentally stepped on a stone and lost her balance. Seeing that she was about to fall backward onto the little girl, she quickly changed direction in mid-air.
Just then, a hand suddenly hugged her waist, but she couldn't resist gravity and still fell heavily, with another person on top of her, almost making her spit blood.
"Ouch ouch ouch..." Xia Linxia frowned, then was stunned, realizing she didn't seem to be hurt. She looked up and patted Ji Fengxue's face, "Lao Ji, are you okay? I don't hurt at all!"
"......" Ji Fengxue gasped weakly, her brows furrowed, and she said irritably, "Of course you're fine."
"Ah! Are you injured?" Xia Linxia propped herself up with one hand, just about to get up, when the children swarmed over. Someone accidentally stepped on her hand, and she cried out in pain. She immediately pulled her hand back and fell headfirst onto Ji Fengxue's chest again.
Well, it's so soft.
"......" Ji Fengxue felt that she would die of spitting blood sooner or later, either from anger or from being hit by her.
"Get up quickly," she gritted her teeth and said. A stone was pressing against her back, causing her great pain. "Okay."
Seeing her unhappy expression, Xia Linxia immediately got up to check her injury, touching her everywhere. "Where are you hurt? Is it serious? Do you need an ambulance?"
Ji Fengxue couldn't catch her breath and almost suffocated again. She grabbed Xia Linxia's moving hand, her red lips parted, but her ears turned red first. She took the opportunity to use Xia Linxia's strength to sit up and touched her own back.
"Is it here?" Xia Linxia reached out to confirm the injury, gently pressing it, and suddenly squeezed her hand hard. "It seems to be here. Let's go back first."
Ji Fengxue nodded, almost half-carried by Xia Linxia, their hands still clasped together.
For a moment, she felt as if she had lost all sense of pain. Something was breaking through the soil, gently tickling her internal organs.
She sat there, head bowed, and took a deep breath.
"Huh, what's this?" Xia Linxia's sharp eyes spotted a bracelet on the ground nearby. She picked it up and took a look. It was simple and elegant in style, with a small diamond-encrusted sun in the middle. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it's so beautiful. Did you drop it?"
Ji Fengxue glanced at it, was silent for a moment, and said, "Your birthday gift."
Xia Linxia was stunned for a few seconds before she belatedly realized it and exclaimed in surprise, "Is it for me?!"
"Mhm."
"Ahhh! Lao Ji, you're too good!" Xia Linxia happily let go of her hand and looked at the bracelet back and forth. "What brand is this? I've never seen this style before!"
Ji Fengxue's gaze was vaguely fixed on her own hand. She curled her fingers as if nothing had happened and retracted them.
"Teacher Ji bought this at an auction." Xue Hui and Song Wanyi ran over from another playground and happened to hear her asking. Xue Hui took the initiative to explain, "Teacher Ji and I went together a few days ago. This was actually worn by British royalty."
"Wow!" Xia Linxia was even more surprised. So she hadn't contacted her these past few days because she was preparing a gift. She immediately beamed and hugged Ji Fengxue. "I love this gift so much! Thank you!"
Ji Fengxue's lips curved, and then she coughed again. "You hit my wound."
"Ouch, sorry." Xia Linxia immediately let go and started to put on the bracelet herself, but she couldn't fasten it after a long time. She glanced at Ji Fengxue, then felt that it was inconvenient for her now, so she asked Song Wanyi for help. "Can you help me put it on?"
Song Wanyi was about to step forward to help when she saw Ji Fengxue snatch the bracelet and pull Xia Linxia's hand.
Xia Linxia looked down at the bracelet shining in the sunlight, then at Ji Fengxue's movements. The two were silent for a moment.
[Screenshot taken! It's just dating, no need to be this sweet, right? Have some consideration for us! My tears have all dried up!]
[Damn, my girlfriend just kicked me, saying I'm not good enough!]
[Is it just me who's still immersed in the hug scene on the grass just now!]
[Sisters in front, don't go! I also loved that scene! Are these two filming a movie? Why do they fall so beautifully and seductively even when they fall! I love it ahhhhh!]
Tang Yuande and Fang Qiushuang also heard the commotion and came over. They pushed aside the noisy children and said, "You two should go back first. We'll handle the rest with Xue Hui and the others."
Xue Hui nodded. "Yes, go back and rest. It's also Xia Linxia's birthday today. It would be nice to go back and have some alone time."
Xia Linxia helped Ji Fengxue stand up. The bracelet moved slightly. She sighed deeply. Since she had received a gift, she couldn't be too heartless.
So she took a step forward and squatted in front of Ji Fengxue.
Seeing this, Ji Fengxue was stunned. "What are you doing?"
"I'll carry you over." Xia Linxia said.
"I can walk myself."
"Oh, hurry up." Xia Linxia urged.
Ji Fengxue looked at her slender shoulders, thought for a few seconds, and inexplicably climbed onto her back.
Xia Linxia gritted her teeth, stood up, and smiled, "You carried me last time, and I'll carry you this time. We're even."
"Mhm."
The two waved goodbye to the others and the children and walked towards the show's car. Ji Fengxue was worried she would get tired, so she said, "Let me down ahead, I'm only injured in the back."
"Do you look down on me?"
"......" Ji Fengxue was speechless for a moment, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she said, "I'm worried about you."
"Bullshit, you're the only one who worries about me? Get out of here."
Ji Fengxue: "......" Okay, then there's no need to worry.
She remembered the scene when she carried Xia Linxia last time and imitated her actions, shaking her legs.
"Tsk, can you be a little more well-behaved!" Xia Linxia turned her head and said irritably, "Believe it or not, I'll throw you into a ditch!"
Ji Fengxue was about to laugh when she looked at her profile and suddenly froze.
After getting into the car, Xia Linxia rubbed her back, patted the sore spots, and said disdainfully, "Like an old sow, dead heavy."
After saying that, she didn't get a response for a long time. She curiously looked at the person next to her, only to see her beautiful eyes staring at her. She subconsciously touched her face. "What are you looking at?"
Ji Fengxue blinked her eyelashes lightly, looked into her eyes, and asked uncertainly, "Have you carried someone before?"
