He was really angry and told her not to meddle in his affairs in the future. After school that day, he walked very quickly, keeping a long distance from her.
But after that day, he still waited for her to go to school and to leave school, but he no longer talked to her, didn't share interesting things that happened at school, and didn't let her help carry his school bag. He just listened to Grandma Chen's words and always waited for her. At that time, he didn't lack playmates, but he didn't lose her because of his anger. He went out to play by himself. He had a pair of music headphones, and he didn't know who bought them for him. He never asked Grandma Chen. He just knew that he had been wearing them for many years, to school and back.
That day, he walked ahead again, leaving Xuyouning behind. Xuyouning, who had been struggling for several days, ran to catch up, but seeing him with his headphones on, she slowly lowered her raised hand.
However, she didn't see that he had secretly taken off the other earphone.
Until the weekend, they finally spoke to each other.
At that time, the elderly people liked to have their own small vegetable garden not far from home, planting some vegetables, fruits, and flowers that they liked to eat. Grandma Chen's vegetable garden and Xu Youning's were combined, surrounded by a fence.
That day on the second floor, I saw Chen Jiahan and Grandma Chen carrying water buckets, and I knew they were going to the vegetable garden. Chen Jiahan was carrying the water bucket, and Grandma Chen felt sorry for him and wanted to help, but the position of the water bucket was still on Chen Jiahan's side. He has always been a very filial young man, and Xuyouning felt that this might be an opportunity to strike up a conversation.
I ran downstairs to grab a bottle of drink and went to find Grandpa.
"Ningning, do you want to go to the vegetable garden to find Grandpa?" Passing by the two of them, Grandma Chen also called out to her.
"Hello, Grandma Chen. I'm going to bring Grandpa a bottle of water." She glanced at Chen Jiahan from the corner of her eye, but he didn't look at her, busy with the carrying pole in his hands.
"Ningning is really filial, much more attentive than our son." She heard him chuckle.
"Let's go together, we happen to be going to the vegetable garden to water the plants." Grandma Chen had a very warm smile.
"Let me help you pick, you take a break."
"It's okay, grandma is not tired, and you young girl can't handle it."
"It's okay, I can do it. I'm very strong, and besides, there's Chen Jiahan." This time, he finally looked up at her and said to Grandma Chen, "Grandma, let her try. I know she's strong." She took the carrying pole from Grandma Chen, but didn't see him pulling the bucket back towards himself when she lowered her head to adjust it.
Look, she can pick and move.
In the vegetable garden, she speaks to him in a low voice, and he responds to her, succinctly and without any extra words.
"I, I apologize to you. I shouldn't have said that to you that day, but I had no choice. They would ask me," she apologized while complaining.
Hearing the boy's direct tone, "Tell them that I will scold you and let them come directly to me next time."
I didn't hear the response, so I looked up and saw the little girl next to me staring at me, waiting for my response. I snapped out of my daze of "he might scold me" and said, "Ah, okay, I understand."
"Then, are we considered reconciled?"
"What do you think?" Chen Jiahan looked at her with a 'or else?' expression.
"Calculate," she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, smiling even more beautifully than the sunflowers planted by her grandmother next to her.
