Chapter 15
Chai Meichen has been brewing her feelings, she wants to adjust her mentality, and plans to have a good talk with Zhou Rui tonight.
As a result, Zhou Rui made her break again today.
After the phone was confiscated, Zhou Rui played with the washing machine for two classes in the afternoon.
Zhou Rui and Zhuo Wenqian were at the same table, and the two of them also got a large jug of water and fiddled with it with great interest.
During the whole process, Chai Meichen sat in the front row and heard two people whispering, sitting in the front row secretly gritted her teeth.
Zhou Rui: "I'm going! I moved."
Zhuo Wenqian reached out for the eraser: "Wash my eraser. When I drew the sketch, I smeared the tone. It was very dark."
Zhou Rui refused mercilessly: "Put the eraser in the back first, and you will be eliminated. Let's wash two jujubes first."
Zhuo Wenqian: "This gadget turns quite fast, hahaha."
Zhou Rui: "Do you need to add some detergent?"
Zhuo Wenqian: "Let's add some, and wash it clean after adding it, but do I have to throw it with clean water before eating it?"
Zhou Rui: "It's not enough to wash it with clean water again."
Zhou Rui was quite filial. He washed three jujubes in the first batch, reached out and poked Chai Meichen's back, and then handed over the three jujubes: "Come, eat, washed, or machine. washed."
Chai Meichen pulled the corner of her mouth and took it, but she didn't say the word "thank you" for a long time.
Not hitting people is fine.
Chai Meichen looked back at the things they put on the table, and then looked at the pink pocket washing machine with a rainbow heart pattern, her mood was a bit complicated.
It is said that if the child is not satisfied for a period of time, the child will have bad habits. For example, the child keeps blocking when he eats his hands, and if he is not satisfied later, he will continue to eat his hands.
Does she seriously examine herself, is it because she didn't play with Zhou Rui when she was a child, that Zhou Rui likes this kind of thing now?
She looked at it with a heavy heart for a long time, and tried to warn herself: be normal, don't be too fierce, the generation gap between you is because of your bad temper.
She took a bite of the green jujube and continued to look down at the book.
The two people behind him haven't stopped and are still studying.
Zhou Rui: "The pipe is aligned, the water is rushing."
Zhuo Wenqian: "Although the sparrow has all the internal organs, this thing is quite decent. I didn't have such a toy to play with when I was a child."
Zhou Rui: "Let's wash a few more green dates for the two of us to eat, and choose a few bad ones for Li Xiaonan and Yang Ming."
Zhuo Wenqian couldn't help but snicker: "That's it."
This thing was washed by hand for a while, and the two of them had to use this small washing machine, at most three washes in one wave, and detergent and water again, and two classes were almost over.
They had a very fulfilling and happy time in these two classes.
Chai Meichen couldn't help but turn around and ask Zhou Rui, "Have you written your homework?"
Zhou Rui raised his head and glanced at Chai Meichen, and then replied, "I'll write it after I study in the evening."
It was only after Chai Meichen had self-study in the evening that she remembered that the international class has self-study on Tuesday and Thursday nights every two weeks.
When they watch movies, they draw the curtains during the day and turn off the lights at night. It is impossible to do homework in this environment.
Zhou Rui had forgotten to agree to Chai Meichen's matter casually, and he felt inexplicable when Chai Meichen glared back several times.
After the evening self-study, Zhou Rui walked beside Chai Meichen and asked her, "You keep looking at me for what I'm doing, I'm very guilty."
"Have you written your homework?" Chai Meichen asked angrily.
The essence of a person is a repeater, and being a parent is to maximize the tone of the repeater.
The first time, the attitude was good.
The second time, the pitch went up.
The third time, the face was hideous.
The fourth time, start directly.
"It's enough for self-study tomorrow morning." In Zhou Rui's view, this is not a problem!
"Morning self-study and morning reading, you are sure that the class teacher will not confiscate your homework, right?"
"Oops, I'll finish writing it when I find time."
"You said that you have such a big washing machine at home, and you also have the latest front-loading washing machine. You don't play with it, you don't touch it. Is it interesting to buy a broken thing and tinker with it for an afternoon? Are you still young?"
"I just think it's fun." After saying that, he smiled "hee hee".
Zhou Rui did it on purpose, he was angry, it was really boring to have his phone confiscated, so he played with the toys for an afternoon. didn't expect that would feel the real feelings when played, and it was really fun.
Also, seeing Chai Meichen trying to get angry but holding back, it was very interesting.
Chai Meichen was particularly speechless, but in the end she forcibly held back.
She wants to be a mother who can relate to her son and can't be too violent.
Hold back, hold back, your own, can you kill me?
The two walked side by side to the stands on the side of the sports field.
This is where many students gather after school, especially in summer, it is especially lively.
The students sat on the seats with skewers and ice cream, chatting in groups of three and five, happily.
Opposite the stand is the Shuojiao track. Students who have night runners will exercise after the evening self-study. After the end, they will go back to the dormitory to wash up, and then sleep comfortably.
The campus environment of Ka Wah International School is very good. There are street lights everywhere, and there are also big lights here, which can illuminate a large area.
There are many small flying insects around the bulb, which also makes the light a bit colorful, but unexpectedly adds a little hazy feeling.
The cool wind at night was blowing Chai Meichen.
She and Zhou Rui arrived at the stand. She had just walked a few steps to find a place to sit, when she saw Zhou Rui standing under the stand, throwing her schoolbag to the first row of seats, and saying to others : "I don't want to see other people in this piece."
Chai Meichen turned around and saw those students walking away in despair. There was really no one else in this area.
"You're quite amazing." Chai Meichen couldn't help but sneer.
"In general, if you want to see it, I can let you see something more spectacular." Zhou Rui was not ashamed but proud, walked over in a particularly awkward manner, and found a place to sit down.
"I can also let you hear a loud slap." Chai Meichen walked over and sat beside Zhou Rui.
"No, no, I'm just clearing a place for our mother and son to talk! What if I accidentally call you mother and others hear you and are scared? You think we have to think about it for the onlookers."
The two sat side by side watching the students running or frolic in the playground, so embarrassed they didn't know how to start.
The problem is here.
The way the two of them get along is simple and rude.
They never say to each other "you worked hard", "I miss you", "I love you", and they feel disgusted when they say it.
Even when Zhou Rui caught a cold, Chai Meichen scolded that Zhou Rui was playing too much with his mobile phone and didn't wear long pants. In action, he bought medicine, rubbed Zhou Rui's body to physically reduce his fever, and made food for Zhou Rui and wished to feed it into his mouth.
Now the two want to have a heart-to-heart talk, and they won't say the opening remarks.
Zhou Ruiqing coughed, raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose with his fingers, and asked, "I'll buy you a cup of milk tea"
"You don't have your phone anymore, what can you buy?"
"I'm angry when I mention this. How can you let me live without my mobile phone? Our school can scan the code with a mobile phone, which proves that students are not excluded from using mobile phones, and my mobile phone will be confiscated."
Chai Meichen was finally amused: "Uncle Hou will ask you to come back tomorrow."
Zhou Rui turned his head to look at Chai Meichen, hesitated and asked, "You already know something. I'm afraid that Yang Ming and the others will think too much and not ask carefully."
"I just know that you are fighting with chivalry and righteousness." Chai Meichen paused after answering, and then added in a low voice, "Tian Yueyi also looked for me."
"She's looking for you too." Zhou Rui really didn't know about this, and was so surprised.
He knew that Tian Yueyi was a timid girl, the kind that strangers dared not talk to. She was a bit socially afraid and would be bored to study.
It was also because of this that Zhou Rui felt that Tian Yueyi was suspicious of him suddenly, and only then did he realize that Tian Yueyi was in trouble.
Chai Meichen nodded: "Well, it was she who came to me and told me the reason, and I thought of asking Yang Wei again."
"Oh……"
"Actually, I'm really sad after listening to it, why do your friends know you better than me? I'm obviously your mother, and I should be the one who trusts your character the most, but when you need it most, I'm still the right one. The person you caused the second injury, do you know that I feel very sad in my heart"
Zhou Rui was finally a little overwhelmed after hearing this, he was not good at expressing this.
He put his elbows on his knees, rubbed his fingers back and forth, and finally just pursed his lips and lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
"First of all, I apologize to you, I didn't become a competent mother, I don't trust you, I don't really know you, I even doubt you, I..." Chai Meichen began to apologize to Zhou Rui.
In her concept, even if she is a parent, she does something wrong, and if she does something wrong, she should apologize to her child.
This alone is much better than many parents.
But she also knows that this is not an excuse, it is the best to be able to do it without apology.
"No, you're fine." Zhou Rui interrupted Chai Meichen, "I just don't know how to tell you, you're at home, and you don't know what happened to me at school, so it's normal not to understand. I won't tell you anything, you are a person who likes to think wildly, and it will cause such a result, both of us are responsible." Zhou Rui can also think clearly.
Chai Meichen covered her forehead, a little distressed: "The two of us really lack communication."
More than the lack of communication between the two of them
Under the general environment, how many children of this age are willing to tell their parents everything?
They will feel that their parents don’t understand them enough, and the two sides’ thoughts are not in the same direction. After talking about a lot of things, the parents don’t understand them, and they say it in vain.
Gradually, the gap between them became wider and wider.
Zhou Rui knew that Chai Meichen was probably in a bad mood at this time. Every time at this time, all he had to do was to make Chai Meichen happy.
The two of them depended on each other for life. They had no other relatives, and only Hou Ranxi was the only one who rarely had contact.
He knew from a young age that he was a man and that he needed to take on some responsibilities to be Chai Meichen's backing when she was vulnerable.
"I can't say the reason for this fight. After all, it's about a girl's reputation. The environment is like this. As long as it's about a girl's reputation, it will be ridiculed very harshly. She is a victim, but everyone will The society is unfair to girls by looking for reasons from the victim. I want to protect her, so I can't say that this will affect her." Zhou Rui explained to Chai Meichen.
Chai Meichen nodded: "I understand, then why didn't you tell me about the previous things? I always thought you were a combative person. If you tell me the truth, I will follow you to find a way. ."
"It's kind of hard to tell..."
"What's wrong with that"
"I just want to protect those people I can protect." Zhou Rui looked at Chai Meichen when he said this, and continued seriously, "You were often criticized when I was young, and I was very angry at the time, but even if I Anything I do will be laughed at by those people, and my heart has always been haunted."
Chai Meichen looked at Zhou Rui in surprise, not knowing that the most fundamental reason was her.
She is a single mother and rich. Many people say that she may be a mistress or some kind of shameful identity, and there are a lot of ugly words.
She also endured it at that time, and went out to quarrel with those people, and Hou Ranxi also went to take revenge.
But then she gradually let it go, just say it, she doesn't care, it's the most important thing for her to live unrestrainedly.
Zhou Rui continued: "Since then, I have known how sad it would be if I was bullied, or when I encountered a situation where no one could help me and I would feel lonely. I just thought...when someone needs help, Just go and help. Maybe I'm too stupid, I can't think of a better way, and it's like this over time."
"Your starting point is good." Chai Meichen also admitted this.
"But when I tell you, I'll feel very hypocritical. In fact, I'm so uncomfortable right now, I can't wait to go out and run around." Zhou Rui pointed to the playground and told Chai Meichen that this kind of sensational scene was not suitable for him.
Chai Meichen followed and laughed, and then there were tears in the smile.
She is a sentimental person, and she would cry when watching Korean dramas, but hearing Zhou Rui say this made her even more uncomfortable.
She still remembered that she took Zhou Rui to the amusement park, when Zhou Rui was only two and a half years old.
While playing in the ocean ball, a parent smashed Chai Meichen with a ball. Zhou Rui immediately became unhappy. He took the ball and smashed the parent back in revenge. .
Another time, Chai Meichen bought a store room and wanted to open an early shop, but someone asked for trouble to collect money. The other party was a man who actually started with Chai Meichen.
Zhou Rui, who was only five years old, rushed over and bit the man's arm without letting go. After being thrown away by the man, he fell to the position of the day before yesterday. He kowtowed his head and bleed, but he still rushed over again, biting like a little leopard. Got the man screaming.
Zhou Rui has been like this since she was a child, always protecting her.
She knew Zhou Rui's temper, why did she gradually forget it when Zhou Rui grew up?
The feeling right now is a mixture of relief and pride, mixed with self-blame.
She knew that her son was very good, very good, looked very domineering, but had a good heart. He had good intentions, but the wrong approach.
Zhou Rui was helpless when he saw Chai Meichen crying and laughing. What he was most afraid of was Chai Meichen.
He stretched out his hand in front of Chai Meichen: "Put your hand up."
Chai Meichen was puzzled and put her hand on Zhou Rui's palm.
"Look, my hand is bigger than yours, don't worry, I can protect you in the future." Zhou Rui said with a smile, and quickly pulled his hand back.
Still a little embarrassed.
Instead, Chai Meichen cried even more, but she was saying awkward words: "I really thank you."
When Zhou Rui was young, his hand was so small that Chai Meichen didn't dare to hold it too hard, for fear that it would break or the arm would fall off as soon as she squeezed it hard.
Before he knew it, Zhou Rui had grown so big that he could cover Chai Meichen's entire face with his palms open.
In fact, he knew everything, but it was Chai Meichen who thought she needed too much care. Suddenly one day I found out that Zhou Rui was secretly protecting himself, and this warm feeling made Chai Meichen's tears stop.
Zhou Rui dragged his chin with one hand, looked at the playground and said, "Actually, strictly speaking, I was also at fault. I hid the secret of my protection of the earth too deeply."
"Yes, I don't expect you to leave a name for good deeds, but you must remember to write a diary, or give me a little bit of information, okay? You can make me feel a little bit better, don't make me cry every day. Live in panic. Or you have to tell me you're superman, and I'll call you for help next time I'm in danger."
"Okay! I'll pay attention in the future." Zhou Rui nodded, slapped his thigh and agreed neatly.
"Also, you can help others, but don't put yourself in danger. My mother, the first thing you worry about is your safety. If one day you have a fight, what do you want me to do? manage"
Zhou Rui was stopped by the question, he hesitated for a while and nodded: "I know I was wrong."
"You may not feel anything when you do it, but do you know that every wound on your body makes me feel distressed when I see it"
Zhou Rui nodded again: "Yes."
"I'd rather you don't do these good things, I just want you to be safe, so next time you encounter something, tell me, okay? I can help you find a way, think of some ways to solve the problem without fighting, okay?"
"Okay." Zhou Rui agreed immediately, with a good attitude.
"In order to increase the trust in your heart, you can see how well we solved this matter this time and decide whether you want to trust me and your Uncle Hou in the future."
Zhou Rui couldn't help but be amused, this is the rhythm that Uncle Hou wants to turn into a positive, it's basically the tone of a family of three.
I really don't know what these two are doing. Plato is fun.
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because Chai Meichen changed the subject again.
"We've finished talking about the fight. Now let's talk about your puppy love. What happened to you and Zhao Bingqing after a period of ambiguity?" Chai Meichen took out a tissue at the same time, wiped the tears from her face, and said something special serious.
Zhou Rui sat up straight for a moment, pointed to the lamp above his head surrounded by the little bugs, and said to Chai Meichen, "Mom, with such beautiful scenery, why don't we perform a backflip for you!"
Chai Meichen shook her head: "No, I just want to hear how you failed to dodge the cabbage, and you were beaten by the cabbage."
"Can't we maintain a harmonious atmosphere of conversation? Why do we have to mention these unhappy things?" Zhou Rui didn't understand, and he wanted to frown when he mentioned this.
"I just think that next time I quarrel with Zhao Bingqing, I can be confident. You must at least tell me the truth of the matter."
As a result, before continuing, Chai Meichen's phone rang.
The caller ID was Hou Ranxi, but after she answered it, she heard Hou Ranxi ask, "Why can't I contact Zhou Rui?"
"What's the matter, he's next to me."
"Give him the phone."
Chai Meichen gave the phone to Zhou Rui, saw Zhou Rui start to be silly, and then hung up the phone.
Chai Meichen looked at Zhou Rui, and saw Zhou Rui asked angrily: "I'm curious or not?"
"..."
"Want to know what Uncle Hou told me?"
"Speak quickly."
"Uncle Hou asked me to play truant to meet him. If I don't leave now, I won't be able to come back before I close the bed."
Chai Meichen nodded. She asked Hou Ranxi to help with Zhou Rui's affairs. It was estimated that Hou Ranxi wanted to find Zhou Rui to understand the situation.
"Okay, I'll let you go this time." Chai Meichen compromised, and we'll talk about puppy love later.
Zhou Rui walked back with Chai Meichen sullenly, and stopped Chai Meichen when he passed the stall.
Chai Meichen stopped and looked back at him, only to see Zhou Rui running to the milk tea stall, and after a while he brought a milkshake over.
"Have you brought a meal card?" Chai Meichen asked as she took the strawberry milkshake.
Last time Zhou Rui bought a strawberry milkshake for Chai Meichen, but Chai Meichen was in a bad mood and didn't drink it, and it all melted in the end.
Zhou Rui always remembered this, so he bought another cup for Chai Meichen.
"Lost it long ago."
"Then how did you buy it"
"I smiled at a girl and she bought it for me"
Chai Meichen immediately frowned and asked, "You won't blackmail female classmates, will you?"
Saying that, he took out his mobile phone and dragged Zhou Rui: "Let's go, let's return the money to others."
At this time, the two girls came over with milk tea. When they passed by, Zhou Rui said to one of the girls, "I'll give it back to you next time I meet you."
When the girl heard Zhou Rui talking to her, she was so nervous that she covered her mouth, but she could see that her apple muscles were bulging out of laughter.
She was a little embarrassed, and hid behind her best friend, still waving her hand: "No, no, please."
After speaking, he ran away quickly, running away and still laughing, he seemed really flattered.
"Look, I swiped my card with charm." Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows at Chai Meichen.
Chai Meichen pouted the corners of her mouth: "It's not that my genes are good"
"Yes, yes, I inherited it well." Zhou Rui smiled and took the milkshake from Chai Meichen's hand.
"Didn't you buy it for me?"
"It's too cold, I forgot to ask for the bag. I'll take it to the door of the staff dormitory and you can take it in by yourself."
Chai Meichen only laughed this time and did not refuse.
Zhou Rui sent Chai Meichen to the door of the dormitory before leaving. This was probably his most justifiable truancy, stepping out of the steps of disregarding six relatives.
Zhou Rui is much more comfortable with Hou Ranxi.
Chai Meichen is angry at every turn, but Hou Ranxi is not like this. He has never lost his temper with Zhou Rui for so many years, and he often helps him talk. He has always had a good relationship with Hou Ranxi.
"It really doesn't suit my temperament to come to the teahouse." Zhou Rui muttered when he came in, as if he was not satisfied with the place Hou Ranxi chose.
However, there are not many shops open at this time.
“The pastries here are good.”
"Come on, I want to drink Coke."
"Yes." Hou Ranxi turned to order Coke.
Hou Ranxi put a box on the table, and Zhou Rui happily took it: "Bring me a gift"
"For your mother."
"Oh." Zhou Rui threw it back on the table with no interest.
Hou Ranxi looked at him and took out another box: "This is yours."
Zhou Rui was a little better now, took the two gifts with a smile, and said doglegly, "I will definitely deliver the gifts, and send your cordial blessings."
"How I Blessed"
"I will tell my mother that Uncle Hou wishes you a long life."
"You have a great mouth."
Hou Ranxi and Zhou Rui learned about what happened, and asked a few things on purpose.
Zhou Rui saw that Hou Ranxi actually took out a notebook and a pen, recorded what he said, and recorded the audio. Suddenly, he felt a little awkward and a little embarrassed.
So serious he couldn't let go.
"What are you going to do with it?" Zhou Rui leaned over and asked.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect that girl."
"Ah... let's do it." Hou Ranxi saw through his mind.
"The girl I like" Hou Ranxi felt that Zhou Rui was very protective, and suspected that he was angry.
"What... it's just acquaintance, I grew up together, I haven't been in love yet!"
Hou Ranxi was actually shocked, looked up at Zhou Rui, and then smiled: "Oh, I have a face that doesn't look like a single."
Zhou Rui was a little upset, so he questioned Hou Ranxi in turn: "Hello! I haven't talked about it in my thirties. Have you never had a first kiss?"
Hou Ranxi turned off the recorder for the first time, and then glanced at Zhou Rui angrily: "Don't inquire about your affairs."
"You usually solve it by yourself, don't you feel lonely?"
"Shut your mouth! I'll think about whether there are any other problems." Hou Ranxi sat on the chair and thought.
"Okay, I'll play a game first." Then he hooked his finger at Hou Ranxi, "Lend me the phone."
Hou Ranxi has always had games on his mobile phone, and occasionally plays a few games with Zhou Rui, which is convenient for Zhou Rui to log in directly to his account.
While they were silent, the TV behind Zhou Rui kept playing the news.
Zhou Rui looked up and saw Hou Ranxi's expression changed, his smile faded for a moment, and he became very serious, even a little cruel.
This expression startled Zhou Rui, and followed Hou Ranxi's gaze back to watch TV.
The TV picture has cut to the next news.
He vaguely remembered what group of voices he spoke just now, and he was sure that he was about to return to China.
It is estimated that some important person in a group is going to return to China.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Rui asked Hou Ranxi.
"Oh, nothing, the competitor is going back to China." Hou Ranxi came back to his senses.
Zhou Ruimi thought he was a competitor in the shopping mall, and said indifferently, "Hey, I'm not like you adults, I think the money is enough to spend it, don't blame yourself, what's the point of competition?"
Hou Ranxi nodded, raised his hand to touch his chin, and stared at Zhou Rui for a long time.
"Recently... take care of your mother," he said suddenly.
"You don't need to tell me, I know it."
He is coming back.
take care of her.
