Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

After a fierce internal struggle and internal debate, Chi finally had no choice but to give up. He sighed deeply and muttered to himself, "Su Su, it seems I'm really not cut out for this. I simply don't have the talent for it."

Just then, Chizao's phone rang, breaking the brief silence in the room. She glanced down at the screen and saw that the caller ID was her mother. She quickly swiped to answer and asked, "Mom, what's up?"

A mother's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Where have you been? Someone at home is looking for you right now!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Zao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Looking for me? Who is it?"

“They said they were your classmate,” Mom replied.

"Oh? Is that a male or female classmate, Mom?" Chi Zao continued to inquire curiously.

"It's a boy. And he's quite handsome!" Mom said with a smile.

"Huh?" Chizao was so surprised she almost cried out, completely unexpected that this would happen.

Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, her lips parted slightly, but before she could utter a word, she heard a rapid "beep beep beep" sound from the phone. This sound was like a merciless barrier, instantly separating her from her mother—her mother had hung up the phone hastily for some reason. Chi Zao's hand gripping the phone tightened slightly, a hint of disappointment and confusion flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She raised her head, her gaze falling on Su Yun in the pavilion not far away, and called out loudly, "Su Su, someone is looking for me at home, I have to go back first!" At this moment, fine rain was still falling from the sky, hitting the ground around the pavilion and splashing up small water droplets.

Upon hearing the call, Su Yun quickly stepped out of the pavilion and approached Chi Zao, saying with concern, "It's raining, be careful on the road and walk slowly." Her tone was full of worry, and she was holding an umbrella in her hand, seemingly wanting to hand it to Chi Zao.

Chi Zao nodded and replied, "Okay, I understand. You should go back inside too, don't get wet." After saying that, she turned and walked towards home, her steps light yet hurried. Her slender figure gradually disappeared into the misty rain.

Back home, Chi Zao gently pushed open the door and immediately saw the figure sitting on her living room sofa—a man who was both strange and familiar. Her heart tightened, and her steps unconsciously slowed.

Chizao took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the sofa. When their eyes met, time seemed to freeze.

"Ugh! My ex-boyfriend showed up at my door!" Chi Zao inwardly groaned, wishing she could disappear into the ground and never come out again. However, reality is always cruel, and she could only grit her teeth and keep moving forward.

Walking to the sofa, Chi Zao tried to remain calm and asked confidently, "Um, what did you want to see me about?"

The man smiled slightly and replied unhurriedly, "I finished talking to your father today, and your mother said we're alumni, so she let us meet. But... you don't think I'm here to rekindle our old flame, do you?" He then deliberately raised an eyebrow, looking at Chi Zao with a mocking expression.

Upon hearing this, Chi Zao's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant, but she still forced a nonchalant air and replied calmly, "I didn't mean to."

At this moment, the man named Gu Ze suddenly stood up and approached Chi Zao step by step. His eyes were sharp as knives as he stared intently at Chi Zao and said, "Then I've thought about it."

As Gu Ze drew closer, Chi Zao involuntarily backed away. Only when her back hit the wall, leaving her nowhere to retreat, did she stop, look up at Gu Ze, and angrily question him, "Didn't you leave me without a word for your own future? Why have you suddenly come back?"

"I left without saying goodbye? I made so many calls, sent so many text messages, and looked for you so many times, but every time it was like throwing stones into the sea, with no response at all! And now you're blaming me, saying I left without saying goodbye? You really are a heartless woman!" Gu Ze was furious. He plopped heavily on the sofa, making a dull thud.

Chi Zao's eyes widened, and her anger flared up: "What about your trip abroad? Did you even discuss it with me once? You just left without a word. Am I that insignificant to you? Or was I never even part of your future plans from the beginning?!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ze stood up abruptly, clenched his fists tightly, and roared, "Miss Chi, think about it carefully! The gap between our two families is like heaven and earth. If I want to be worthy of you and be able to be with you openly and honestly, don't I need to work hard to become better and more outstanding? Only in this way can your parents entrust you to me with peace of mind!"

"Did you explain it to me back then? Did you discuss it with me?" Chi Zao clenched her fists tightly, trying to control the surging emotions within her, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed her agitated state. She took a deep breath, attempting to calm herself down as quickly as possible.

On the other side, Gu Ze looked at Chi Zao with a helpless expression, a barely perceptible bitter smile on his lips: "Would you listen to my explanation? Every time I try to have a proper conversation with you, you always act like you're keeping me at arm's length, never giving me a chance! And later, I couldn't even find you anywhere, you disappeared to who-knows-where! Do you think I wouldn't go looking for you? Let me tell you, I've been to your house several times, but were you even home then, Miss Chi?" Gu Ze's tone unconsciously hardened at the end, clearly annoyed by Chi Zao's behavior.

"So you waited here for me just to question me?" Chi Zao looked at the person in front of her with a guilty conscience, wondering if she had really done something wrong. She bit her lip, feeling that she was in the wrong, but she didn't know how to explain herself.

Gu Ze, standing opposite him, smiled slightly, a hint of smugness in his smile: "That's right, I finally got such an opportunity, how could I let it slip by so easily?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Chi Zao, making her feel a surge of nervousness.

Just as the two were at an impasse, Chi Zao's mother slowly came downstairs. As soon as she saw Gu Ze, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face: "Xiao Ze, you're here! Come in and sit down. Stay for dinner tonight."

Before Chi Zao could react, Gu Ze quickly replied, "Okay, Auntie. Thank you for the invitation!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Zao turned her head sharply, glared at Gu Ze, and said in a low voice, "He's not hungry, he won't eat!" However, Gu Ze seemed completely oblivious to Chi Zao's dissatisfaction and continued to exchange pleasantries with Chi Zao's mother with a smile.

Chi Zao's mother gave her daughter a reproachful look and gently scolded, "You child, you really don't know any better. Xiao Ze has been waiting for you here for so long, it must have been hard for him. Besides, I think he's a nice kid, you should get to know him better." After saying that, she enthusiastically pulled Gu Ze towards the living room, leaving Chi Zao standing there stomping her feet in anger.
