Chapter 15: Joshua Messed Up

Wife, wife-cake!?

Joshua, Jessica, and Rachel were all stunned, Wang Yang nodded innocently, and they suddenly said "oh" in unison. Jessica pulled her hair unnaturally with a strange face, Rachel smiled playfully, and Joshua, the initiator, frowned, laughed again, and said amusedly, "Dude, are you kidding?

Wang Yang muttered in his heart, but after saying it, he felt that there was nothing to be embarrassed about, wasn't it just the name of a cake? That kind of cake is called a wife's cake, that's a funny name, right?"

Zachary Levy, who was still cleaning up in the kitchen at this time, looked over there and asked curiously and loudly, "And the pie is called the wife cake? It's funny, does the name mean anything, why is it called this?"

Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and shook his head: "I don't know, there should be any legends and allusions, but I don't know." Then, he told his knowledge of "wife's cake": "This kind of cake is a kind of wedding cake, just like candy and chocolate, and when the couple gets married, they will give it to relatives and friends. Seeing Jessica's unnatural appearance of looking left and right, he wondered if he was talking too much......

"Do you want to give it to your wife?" Zachary in the kitchen said suspiciously, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and asked with a smile, "Hey, do you have any husband cakes?"

Joshua's heart jumped, this time it was his turn to have a bad expectation, he turned his head to look at his sister Jessica, only to see her eyes looking at the ceiling, as if she was careless, but Joshua, who grew up with her, still keenly captured the slightly upturned corners of her mouth, she was hiding it, she must be very happy now!

In fact, Jessica is not only very happy now, but her heart is pounding, and her mind can't help but think crankily, wife cake, why did Jan choose to give her this kind of cake as a birthday present, is there any special meaning...... At this time, those memories that she deliberately avoided but never forgot poured out like a tide.

It was also the day of April, her birthday. That day, like today, before going to school, she picked out a beautiful new dress, a white dress, and asked her mother to help her dress up, and then came to school with great expectations, she had mentioned her birthday to Wang Yang before, and she wanted to receive a gift.

Only Wang Yang in the class knew that it was her birthday, and although she was wearing new clothes, no one paid attention to her. She sat in her seat, anxiously waiting for Wang Yang's arrival, and then Wang Yang appeared.

She suddenly remembered it very clearly, and even Wang Yang's expression at that time clearly emerged. He carried a bag of things in his hand, shook it at her with a smile, made a "bell bell" sound, and then took out a cardboard box and opened it, there were many cakes in the box, and he smiled: "Jessica, this is my birthday present to you." I've made these cakes for you! How's that, excited?"

She was really excited, it was the first birthday gift she received from her classmates, and she made it herself! She nodded excitedly and happily, saying "thank you", and then Wang Yang said, "Try one", so she picked one up and took a bite, the taste was very sweet and soft, she smiled: "It's delicious." ”

Wang Yang propped up his head on the table with one hand, looked at her with a smile, and said angrily: "Of course it's delicious, I made it! As he spoke, he picked up a loaf and ate it, and then said with a smile: "These loaves were originally called wife's cakes, but I made them, so I have the right to name them, and they will be called 'Jessica cakes'." ”

"Wife's cake?" Jessica asked in a whisper, her face flushed with shame, and her mood at that time was even more unconfident and shy than now.

Then, Wang Yang said with a serious face: "Yes, it was originally called wife cake, and it was given to my wife to eat, I want you to be my wife, okay?" Jessica stared at him blankly, speechless. He laughed again: "Look at you, Jessica, like a statue! Well, it's not a confession, it's just a joke, haha!"

"Oh. Jessica breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little disappointed.

"What, you want to be my wife?" Wang Yang could see her disappointment, and spread his hands and said, "Please, we are too young to fall in love." In "Cinema Paradiso", Duoduo and Elena are so old, they are opposed by their families when they fall in love, and we can't mess around. We're good friends, aren't we?" he grinned again: "If you want to be my girlfriend, when we grow up and we become directors and actors, no one will oppose us at that time." ”

Jessica shook her head shyly and said, "I didn't." ”

"That's good. Wang Yang suddenly shushed and whispered, "By the way, have you done all the weather observation homework in science class this week? Seeing her frowning and hesitating, he hurriedly shushed and said, "Shhh Jessica, I know it's not right, but it's just a weather observation, oh, sunny or rainy, how much temperature? Come on, I've been preparing to make cakes for you this week, how can I have time to make a record? Hurry, hurry!"

So, Jessica was moved and scared to give the science workbook to Wang Yang.

Later, she kept in mind what Wang Yang said about "growing up", and when she was about to move to Los Angeles, she left a farewell letter to confess, and agreed to work hard to become directors and actors with each other, and see each other again in Los Angeles when she grows up.

She doesn't know if the current Wang Yang still remembers what he said back then, maybe those words were just a joke, but those wife cakes are really sweet!

The past flashed through her mind very quickly, and Jessica managed to calm her voice and said, "Wow, wife, that's an interesting name." Well, I'll try to learn it......"

Joshua knew that this time it was a mess, and quickly coughed, interrupting the strange atmosphere: "Oh, that's the name. Okay, okay, let's watch the TV!" he walked over to the couch and picked up the TV remote, and frantically pressed the volume up button, and the TV suddenly became loud and could be heard throughout the room.

At this time, the news host of ABC channel on TV suddenly had a heavy expression and said in a serious tone: "Viewers, the latest bad news, Springfield, Oregon, there was a school shooting today, a 17-year-old student at Springfield High School, Kip Kingkle, he was holding a semi-automatic rifle and shooting wildly in the classroom today, which has killed 2 students and injured 22 people. Although Kip Kinker has now been arrested, while the police were negotiating with him, his biological parents stormed the classroom and were shot dead by him. ”

"Oh God, oh my God, how can this be ......" Hearing this, Wang Yang, Jessica, Joshua, Rachel, and Zachary were all stunned, and immediately gathered on the TV and watched it with a heavy and sad face.

The television screen was showing footage of Springfield High School, and the news anchor added: "It is understood that Kip Kinker was expelled from Springfield High School yesterday for illegally entering the school with a gun." This is the third school shooting of the year, and last month, on March 24, the first shooting of the year, two boys from an Arkansas elementary school were expelled from school when they used rifles to shoot at teachers and students, killing one teacher and four girls and injuring 10 others. The second case occurred on the 19th of this month, when Jack Davis, a high school junior in Tennessee with excellent character and academics, shot and killed a classmate in the school parking lot. ”

"The frequency of school shootings makes us ask ourselves whether we care enough about our students, and that the campus should be a paradise, not a killing field. In addition, campus psychologists remind that in order to prevent the continued herd effect, schools and parents are requested to pay close attention to their children in the near future, and please give them enough care......

The atmosphere in the room froze, the previous laughter disappeared, everyone frowned tightly, and the two girls, Jessica and Rachel, kept saying "God, God......"

Suddenly, Joshua turned his head to look at Wang Yang and said with a suspicious expression: "Brother, should you suddenly run to USC with a gun to kill people, right? I think you are a dangerous person." ”

Wang Yang was stunned when she heard this, and Jessica suddenly shouted angrily: "Joshua!!! shut up!!!" She picked up the pillow on the sofa and smashed it on Joshua next to her. Wang Yang hurriedly grabbed her and stopped her, "It's okay, Jessica, I'm fine." He looked at Joshua and frowned, "But, Joshua, this joke is not funny at all, I think you should know that this is a serious matter, don't make fun of it." ”

Rachel glared at Joshua angrily and said, "You have not only hurt Young, but you have also hurt the dead who have unfortunately left. Zachary shook his head and said, "That's a terrible thing to say. ”

"Joshua, apologize to Jan right away, now!" Jessica's eyes were about to burst into flames, the school shooting and Wang Yang's expulsion were very serious matters, how could she laugh at them!? This not only made her feel embarrassed, but also angry!

"Okay, I said something wrong, I apologize!" Joshua pouted and reluctantly said, "I'm sorry." Actually, I didn't mean to, I'm just worried that your ideas are extreme, this is a kind of concern......"

Jessica gritted her teeth and said, "What kind of attitude do you have? How can you say that kind of thing if you care?" She was so anxious that she said to Wang Yang in person: "Yang, I'm sorry, Joshua is a rebellious child, he doesn't even know what he said, don't care." ”

Wang Yang gave her a smile of "don't worry" and said, "No, I know Joshua has no malicious intentions, just apologize." He took the remote control and turned off the TV, got up and clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Come, forget about those sad things, I'll show you something happy." He said as he walked to the bedroom, and Rachel and Zachary got up to follow.

Jessica glared at Joshua and said in a suppressed voice, "I won't let you go, I'll settle accounts with you when I get home." With that, she quickly followed.

When he came to the bedroom, Wang Yang turned on the computer and played the movie footage shot a few days ago, as if looking at his child, with a satisfied smile, and turned back to the crowd: "These were filmed two days ago, and the ones filmed today have not been loaded yet." ”

"Oh my!" Jessica looked fascinated, although these clips were scattered, unedited and connected, and she didn't understand it very well, but just looked at it like this, she felt very happy and looking forward to it, she looked at the computer screen without blinking, and muttered, "It's so good to shoot......"

At this time, the heroine Mel appeared in the video, and then the male protagonist Kevin, Zachary Levy suddenly shouted: "Haha, that's me, that's me! Wow, it feels good to see yourself on the computer!" Rachel nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I feel good too." ”

Jessica looked at Rachel, and a look of envy flashed in her eyes, damn it, why wasn't she who appeared on the computer screen now?

"Blurry, and dizzy...... Joshua, who was standing at the back, glanced at him a few times, and then said very disdainfully, but no one paid attention to him, even Jessica patronized the screen, and didn't bother to scold him. Joshua plucked out his ears and walked away very boringly, what's the big deal, isn't it just a DVV?

He walked out of the bedroom, and suddenly saw the DV machine on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and his eyes lit up, he walked over to pick it up, and walked back to the bedroom door, shouting: "Hey, guys, look over here!"

Everyone looked back at him, smiled and shook their heads angrily, and continued to look back at the screen. Wang Yang pointed at those clips while holding the mouse, and said with a smile: "Joshua, you can take pictures of these pictures now, and they can be played as movie highlights in the future." ”

Jessica, who didn't want to miss a second of the image, turned around, looked at Joshua, and scolded him: "Be careful, don't mess around, don't mess with the footage that Yang shot today!"

"Please, how could it be! I'm not an idiot. Joshua casually responded, walking around with the DV, posing in various shooting poses, shouting, "Do you think I'm handsome?" but no one paid attention to him, and he was bored for a while, so he walked out of the bedroom with the DV camera.

After a while, when Wang Yang was about to click to play the next set of shots, suddenly, there was an exclamation of Joshua's "ah" outside, and then a "puffy bang" sounded, which seemed to be the sound of Joshua falling to the floor.

"What's going on!?" Wang Yang, Jessica and the others all frowned, and quickly came outside to take a look, only to see Joshua lying on the floor of the hall, covering his forehead in pain, and the DV camera that should have been in his hand was also lying on the floor one meter away from him.
