Chapter 61 The Long-Stored Apology Letter (Love Letter)
The Spring Festival is just around the corner. Ms. Xie has taken some time off after finishing the publishing work of her new book, and is going to go shopping for New Year's goods today.
Before going out in the morning, she picked up Lu Yanxi who was still sleeping in. "I'm going out and giving you a task. Today, you and your brother will clean your own room."
"What's under the bed? What's on top of the cabinet? Clean every corner carefully so that you don't fool me into hearing it?"
Lu Yanxi closed his eyes and nodded, "Yeah, yes, as ordered."
Two hours later, while chewing beef jerky and reading a comic book, she suddenly felt that she had forgotten something.
What's going on?
It seems to be related to Ms. Xie.
"Ah! It was almost finished!"
If you forget the tasks assigned by Ms. Xie, you will be nagged again when you come back.
Lu Yanxi slapped his thigh, threw away the comic book, got up and ran to Lu Yanchen's bedroom.
“Bang bang bang!”
"Brother, I'm coming in!"
When Lu Yanchen was at school, he couldn't stop working on projects once he started working on them, so he finally slept until noon during the holiday.
"It's already noon and you still don't get up? Get up quickly. Mom asked us to clean up our room." She pulled his arm and pulled it up, but he couldn't move it.
"I know," Lu Yanchen's voice was hoarse and he hadn't woken up yet, "My room is easy to clean, it's not like yours, which is like a pigsty."
"Then get up quickly, I told you!"
Back in his room, Lu Yanxi pinched his waist and looked around. Isn't this quite neat? It doesn't look like a pigsty?!
I filled a basin of water, prepared rags and rubber gloves, put on a mask, turned on the music player, and started cleaning!
The first step is dusting, the second step is tidying up, and the third step is dusting again.
She followed the music and in a good mood she wiped away the dust in the room, then rearranged the messed up bookshelves, replaced them with clean quilt covers, removed the curtains and threw them into the washing machine, thinking about the new year.
It was time to "break away" and opened the bottom layer of the wardrobe.
Inside are some clothes that look good but have not been worn for a long time and will not be worn again. There are also some small toys that I collected when I was a child but were reluctant to throw them away, but have not been opened and looked at for a long time.
Lu Yanxi sat on the ground and sorted it out. This white shirt looks good, but the cuffs are a little yellowed. Throw it away!
This skirt is just the right length, but the burgundy color doesn’t match well, so throw it away!
Everything about these pants is good, but the waist is too thin, throw them away!
…
There is a medium-sized storage box at the bottom of the wardrobe. The sticker on it says in childish handwriting: My treasure box.
Lu Yanxi smiled. Those so-called treasures when he was young are probably useless now.
In fact, she herself had forgotten what was inside, so she was still a little curious before opening it.
The first thing she saw was a pair of cartoon hairpins. She still remembered that she saw them when she and Lu Yanchen were running errands in the supermarket. She stood in front of them and couldn't put them down for a long time. Finally, he was good at making decisions and bought them for her.
During that time, she wore it every day and would show it to everyone.
There was also a pack of snacks inside, which she specially left for Ye Weiran after she tasted them and thought they were delicious. She put them in the treasure chest and then completely forgot about them.
I looked at the date and saw that more than eight years had passed.
In addition to these, there are also the little Barbie dolls she played with when she was a child, the clothes she made for the dolls, the two stripes she wore when she was a class cadre in elementary school, the change she secretly saved to buy sweets, and her favorite comic books at that time.
…
Every time I pick up something, the memory of that time will appear in front of my eyes. Of course, there are still some things that I can't remember.
Lu Yanxi thought about it, but still couldn't bear to throw away these things.
When I was about to put the things back, I suddenly discovered that there was a small hidden compartment in the treasure box.
She really forgot that the box had a mechanism. When she opened it, she found that there was only a small card inside.
The cards were written by very young children, half of them were crooked words, and the other half were pinyin and small heart patterns.
It took Lu Yanxi a long time to understand the meaning above.
"Lu Yanxi: The last time I told you that you were cheating on me, I was cheating on you. Qishi, you are the prettiest girl in the class. I cheated on you because you were cute when you were angry. When Bie was angry, I (drawn it)
love) you.”
Signed: Ye Weiran.
Lu Yanxi instantly got goosebumps, so he was angry last time because this was her first love letter?
She carefully recalled the origin of this card, and it took her a long time to finally remember it.
It was the time when she performed in the kindergarten. She put on a beautiful princess dress and beautiful stage makeup that day. The teachers all praised her for how beautiful she was.
But Ye Weiran, who was standing next to her, insisted on running over to annoy her, "It doesn't look good, it looks like an ugly old witch! Hahaha..."
He succeeded in making her cry. She chased him around the classroom and beat her up several times. When she got home, she was all wet with tears.
Ye Weiran was given a good education by the four adults, and she was left in the cold for several days. No matter how much she tried to coax her, she finally wrote this apology letter plus a love letter with tears in her eyes.
To her, it was an apology letter, but to him, it was a "love letter."
But no matter what it was, she still carefully hid it in the secret compartment of the treasure chest after she came back.
Lu Yanxi put the card into his pocket and continued cleaning the room.
After an afternoon of hard work, the room looked much tidier. Finally, I put on the newly opened aromatherapy and the air smelled better.
Lying on the newly changed quilt, the faint smell of lavender surrounds me.
Suddenly I felt very bored and couldn’t read comic books anymore.
She called Ye Weiran, but no one answered the phone after ringing for a while.
He threw the phone aside angrily. Just as he threw it away, the phone rang again.
"Hey, did you call me just now?"
Ye Weiran's pleasant voice came over, and it sounded a little breathy.
"Well," Lu Yanxi bent one leg and clamped it on his knee, "What are you doing? It's so boring."
Ye Weiran and his teammates waved their hands to signal him to leave the court for a while, "I'm playing, do you want to come?"
He picked up a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap with one hand.
"Um...where is it?"
She agreed too quickly, as if she couldn't live without him all day. Lu Yanxi deliberately stretched his throat before answering.
"In the basketball gym of the fitness center, the same one I took you to last time."
His teammates asked him to hurry up on the court, but Ye Weiran asked them to wait a little longer.
"Well... okay, then I'll go find you."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanxi quickly jumped out of bed and put on clothes. She tied her hair again in front of the mirror. After tying it, she felt it was not good, so she let it go and tied it again.
It wasn't until he felt everything was perfect that he said hello to Lu Yanchen and went out.
