Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife
Chapter 236: Going through fire and water
The afternoon laziness flowed quietly in the house. The warm atmosphere was still filled with the rich fragrance of delicious food. Xiao Fangfei leaned leisurely on the sofa, chatting with her grandmother about interesting things in the past.
Gu Fanxing was half leaning against a pile of pillows beside her, a faint smile on her lips. She was listening intently when the sudden ringing of the phone suddenly broke her leisurely mood.
Her eyes flashed, and she caught a glimpse of the familiar yet exotic number on the caller ID. Her heart was instantly filled with warmth. She hurriedly got up and ran to the phone in her slippers.
As if she was holding the most fragile treasure in the world, she held her breath slightly, steadied her mind, and then gently pressed the answer button. Her voice instantly rose into an arc of joy: "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year!" The tone was delicate and sweet, just like a young swallow returning to the nest, eager to share the joy.
On the other side of the receiver, the mother's soft and warm voice, wrapped in deep concern, rushed across the ocean: "Happy New Year, stars! Baby, have you eaten? Do you miss mom and dad?" Every word seemed to be wrapped in honey, sticky with indissoluble doting.
Gu Fanxing kept nodding like a chick pecking at rice, holding the microphone tightly in his hand, as if holding tightly the emotions connected to his parents, and hurriedly responded: "Let's eat. It's a rich meal. Fangfei even came here specially to accompany me and grandma. We just cooked a big table of delicious food together." As he spoke, he turned his head and winked playfully at Xiao Fangfei and grandma, his eyes sparkling and full of happiness and showing off.
"Oh, that's great. Mom feels more at ease having Fangfei with you. You and grandma are spending the New Year at home, and your parents are always thinking about you." Mother's relief was mixed with a hint of guilt, lingering like a wisp of smoke.
Gu Fanxing's heart warmed, and she hurriedly said softly to comfort him, "Mom, don't worry about me. Grandma and I are fine. How are you and Dad over there? Is the New Year lively?"
At this time, my father's deep and mellow voice resounded in my ears, like a steady bell, shaking away some of the sadness of missing you: "We are doing well too. There are many celebrations in the Chinese community here, and it is quite lively. But without you around, I always feel like something is missing.
By the way, have you been studying well recently? Have you encountered any troubles? " His concern was beyond words and weighed heavily on Gu Fanxing's heart.
Gu Fanxing straightened his back, his smile became brighter, and he reported in a crisp voice: "My studies are going well. The paper I completed a while ago received unanimous praise from the teacher. I don't have any worries in life. My grandmother is in good health, and Fangfei often comes to accompany me. You two can rest assured."
Seeing this, Xiao Fangfei rushed over, leaned close to the microphone, and raised her voice: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xingxing. We also cooked high-end dishes today, including deep-sea silver cod and fish maw stewed with seasonal vegetables in golden soup. They are all healthy dishes specially made for grandma. Grandma is very happy to eat them."
Grandma also stood up slowly, took over the conversation steadily, and said loudly on the phone: "Daughter and son-in-law, the two children are very filial and take good care of me. Don't worry about me when you are abroad, just concentrate on traveling."
A hearty laugh broke out from the receiver. My father's laughter was bright and clear. "Mom, as long as you're happy, we have less worries because you three can take care of each other. Fangfei, thank you for always taking care of us. When uncle and auntie come back, I'll treat you to a good meal."
Xiao Fangfei responded with a smile: "Uncle, you are too polite. Fanxing and I are good sisters. It is my duty to take care of her. You two should come back soon. We are all looking forward to it."
The mother's chatter continued, and no matter how big or small, everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation was turned into detailed instructions that poured out.
Finally, with a slight change of tone, he asked with some curiosity and expectation: "By the way, Fanxing, how are you and Chengjun doing recently? Has your relationship progressed? Last time I heard you say that he is busy with work, so can he spend more time with you now?"
Gu Fanxing's heart suddenly tightened, and she could hardly maintain the smile on her face. Her fingers tightened unconsciously, making the microphone ring slightly. Jiang Chengjun, the man who betrayed her and hurt her deeply in her previous life, is still her obedient and considerate boyfriend in the eyes of her parents. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the hatred and bitterness in her heart, and made her voice sound as natural as possible: "Well... it's okay, he is still very busy at work, but he will occasionally make time to accompany me."
The mother sighed softly on the other end: "You two are already grown up. If your relationship is stable, you should consider the next step. Chengjun seems to be a reliable boy. Mom hopes that you can achieve a happy ending. You, don't be so careless all the time. Pay more attention to the boy. Feelings are mutual."
Gu Fanxing bit her lower lip tightly, tasting a hint of sweetness on the tip of her tongue, and then she reluctantly swallowed the rebuttal back into her stomach, and replied dryly: "I know, Mom, we know what's going on."
The father's voice interrupted at the right time: "My daughter, don't be anxious about love affairs, just let it go. But if Cheng Jun dares to bully you, you must tell Dad. Dad will support you!"
Gu Fanxing's eyes were slightly hot and her throat seemed to be choked by something. After a long while, she said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, don't worry, it's not true." She was very conflicted at the moment. She wanted to tell her parents about Jiang Chengjun's evil deeds immediately, but the secret and revenge plan after her rebirth made her keep silent.
At this moment, the mother seemed to remember something and said quickly, "Fangfei is here, right? Fanxing, give the phone to Fangfei. Mom wants to talk to her."
Xiao Fangfei took the phone and immediately smiled brightly, saying in a clear and loud voice: "Auntie, Happy New Year! Are you and uncle doing well abroad?"
Aunt Gu said gratefully, "Fang Fei, Happy New Year! Aunt and uncle are doing well here, but we are worried about Fan Xing. Thanks to you for always accompanying her and taking care of grandma, I feel really bad. Thank you so much."
Xiao Fangfei waved her hands repeatedly, and replied eagerly and sincerely: "Auntie, please don't say that! Fanxing and I have been good sisters since we were young. That is an ironclad relationship. I am willing to take care of her and accompany her. Please don't be polite to me! For Xingxing, I will go through fire and water. You and uncle can travel abroad with peace of mind. I am at home!"
Aunt Gu's eyes were red when she heard this, and her voice was slightly choked up: "I feel more at ease with your words. You are a kind-hearted child, and you are warm-hearted to others. It is a blessing for Fanxing to have a close friend like you."
Xiao Fangfei's heart warmed, "Aunt, I am lucky to have a friend like Xingxing. Please take care of yourself over there and don't get too tired. When you and uncle come back, we can have a lively gathering together."
"Okay, okay." Gu Ma said reluctantly.
Xiao Fangfei handed the phone back to Gu Fanxing. Gu Fanxing exchanged a few more words with his parents before hanging up the phone reluctantly.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Fanxing let out a long sigh, tears already glistening in his eyes.
Xiao Fangfei and her grandmother immediately came over, and they hugged her on the left and right in tacit understanding.
Xiao Fangfei comforted him softly: "Okay, don't be sad. Although your uncle and aunt are abroad, their hearts are always with you. Besides, you have me and grandma to accompany you."
Grandma patted her back gently and said, "Dear girl, let's not think about these troubles. Come on, let me take you for a walk in the garden to help you digest your food."
Gu Fanxing wiped away her tears, nodded heavily, took her grandmother and Xiao Fangfei's hands, and slowly walked towards the garden.
The sun shines on my body, and I feel warm. Although my longing is still spreading in my heart, and Jiang Chengjun's affairs are like a haze in my heart, I have close friends and relatives around me. This warmth is enough to comfort the care and longing brought by my parents far away in a foreign country. Life is still beautiful and worth looking forward to. In the new year, there are still many warm stories to be continued, and the revenge plan is also quietly laid out...
