Chapter 69: Returning Home

I woke up early in the morning, and it was drizzling outside. Shen Yuxi lay on the bed and didn't want to move, and Fang Jidong leaned on the bed to make a phone call.

"If the weather is bad today, you can book a ticket for tomorrow...... Okay, you can go back first. ”

He hung up the phone, and Shen Yuxi asked lazily, "Where do you want to book a plane ticket?"

"Homecoming, of course. ”

"Hey, you're going home, and you let me come over. ”

"Am I not afraid that you will miss me too much?"

Shen Yuxi was about to have a seizure, but he hugged her: "Actually, I'm really not sure when I'll go back, I've been talking with those suppliers for a long time, and there are two prices that can't be negotiated, and they have been delaying." I didn't expect you to get it all done as soon as you came. You see, you are more than a wangfu. In the future, when I go on a business trip, I want to take you with me, saving time, effort and money. ”

She snorted coldly: "Do you want to treat me as a mascot, or a beckoning cat?"

"Anything goes, otherwise you don't want to be in the marketing department, go to the president's office to be my personal secretary." ”

"What do personal secretaries do?" asked Shen Yuxi curiously.

"For example, help the president warm the bed, give birth to a child or something. ”

"You go away and tease me again. She got out of bed in a huff, and Fang Jidong laughed uncontrollably behind her. She grabbed the pillow from the couch and threw it at him, but he didn't hide because her accuracy was too poor to touch him in the slightest.

She went to the bathroom to wash up, and when she came out, someone had already brought breakfast. Mr. Francis had probably washed in another room, his hair still a little wet, and he was sitting at the dining table reading a magazine.

She walked over, took a bowl of porridge and drank it to herself. After a while, she asked, "Aren't we going back today?"

"The weather was not good, so I asked Assistant Chen to book a ticket for tomorrow. ”

"Huh, isn't that going to delay tomorrow's work?"

"It's better if you just ask for leave. ”

"There will be no attendance bonus for taking leave, and I'm afraid even the bonus will be lost. Shen Yuxi felt regretful, you must know that Dongsheng's bonus is very considerable.

"It's really a little money fan, it's just a few thousand dollars, I'll send it to you directly. Fang Jidong looked up and said funny.

"Who wants your money, even if there is no bonus, I still live in a five-star hotel, and it is not a loss. Shen Yuxi refused.

"Are you sure you don't want me to give you money?"

Shen Yuxi frowned and thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sure, don't." ”

"Alright then......"

"Don't don't, you're going to make me think again. After thinking for a while, she finally made up her mind: "Forget it, I still don't want it, it's just a few thousand dollars, so I won't take it to heart." ”

Fang Jidong looked at her annoyed look and laughed: "Don't pretend, I know you are distressed to death, I asked Assistant Chen to tell the finances, count you out of tolerance, and not deduct your bonus." ”

"You said it earlier, but I've been worried. She finally relented and continued to eat.

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and from time to time there will be a rumbling thunder in the distance, Shen Yuxi has been afraid of thunder since he was a child, and the clattering and rubbing makes his heart feel uncomfortable.

After eating, she hid in bed and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, revealing only a hairy head.

Mr. Francis was half-lying beside her watching the news on television, reaching out and touching her hair as a sign of comfort. After a while, seeing her quietly motionless, he thought she was asleep, so he gently withdrew his hand. As soon as she withdrew it, she stretched out a hand from the quilt, pulled his hand back back, and placed it on her head.

Fang Jidong smiled: "I thought you were asleep." ”

"The thunder outside is so loud, where can I sleep. Shen Yuxi said sullenly, feeling very depressed.

Fang Jidong hugged her and patted her on the back: "Why are you so afraid of thunder, and it can't do anything to you?"

She hid in his arms, felt a lot more relieved, and said softly: "When my mother died, it was raining in the sky, and there was a strong wind, which made the windows bang and thunder one after another, and it seemed that the sky was about to fall. I sat there crying, but no one heard me cry, no one paid any attention to me, I watched my mother bleed, I watched her die in front of me. ”

Shen Yuxi thought that she was talking about this past very calmly, but her face was wet. After all, she can't face her mother's death, maybe in another ten or twenty years, she still can't face it.

This was the first time Francis had heard her mention of her mother's death. She spoke lightly, as if she was telling other people's stories, but he was distressed.

"You don't have to be afraid anymore, I will always be by your side. Fang Jidong hugged her, wiped her tears, and comforted her gently.

She looked up at him and smiled slightly: "Then you have to do what you say." ”

The day they returned to City C, the weather was not very good, and it was raining lightly. They got off the plane and on the way home, she started to get motion sickness again.

She leaned on her shoulder, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. If the weather is bad, the road conditions will be poor and the driver will drive slowly. Her motion sickness attacked, and she felt more and more tormented, frowning and humming.

Fang Jidong touched her head and comforted her softly: "Wait, I'll be home soon." Would you like some water?"

She shook her head and found a comfortable position to lie in Francis's arms, her hands tightly clutching his tie. After a while, Fang Jidong felt a warmth on his body, and when he looked down, he saw that she was silently shedding tears.

"Why are you crying? Is it really so uncomfortable?" Francis was a little surprised.

She picked up the tie in her hand and wiped her face indiscriminately, and said ashamedly and angrily, "Who is crying? ”

Seeing that the tie on his chest was already a mess, he couldn't cry or laugh: "Okay, okay, don't cry, you can bear with it for a while, and you will be there after another intersection." ”

When she finally got home, she got out of the car, feeling sad in her stomach and dizzy. She lay motionless on the couch, not even bothering to lift her fingers.

So Francis became the object of her command.

"Brother, pour me a glass of water. He immediately got up and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water, but she didn't want to take it, so she took a sip from his hand, and then shook her head and said no.

"Brother, I want to eat potato chips. "I took the potato chips, tore them open for her, and fed them to her one by one.

"Brother, can you peel an apple for me?" Peel the apple and cut it into pieces, fork it with a fork and hand it to her.

"Brother, help me turn on the TV, thank you. ”

In the end, Francis went to work in the study, and she followed, and began to sit on the sofa and read, but most of Francis Jidong's books were boring, so she went to the studio in the study and rummaged through the cabinets inside. After rummaging through a box for a long time, I pulled out a stack of Francis' books and homework when he was in school. Intrigued, she brought some cushions, sat on the floor, and looked at them slowly.

He is really an excellent student, he basically takes notes in every book, his homework is neat, and the teacher's correction is all A+. She remembers that when she was a child, her homework was often scribbled by her teachers, and she was sad for a long time.

A hardcover notebook is striking with a tiny lock on it. It was probably a long time, and she gently tugged on the lock and it opened.

Turning the title page made her laugh, it read: Francis's diary, peeking at a puppy.

The diary records almost all of his school life, whether at home or school.

Francis' diary

Monday, 1993 Sunny (My heart is cloudy)

Yesterday I went to the park with my mom and was probably so tired that I didn't want to get up at all today. Mom and Grandma called me many times, and I was still in bed. I thought to myself, I'll do my homework today anyway, so I don't want to go to school at all.

Then my grandfather came and slapped me out of bed. Grandpa used to be a soldier, and he had a lot of hands. I reluctantly got up, but I was punished by my grandfather for standing in a military posture and was not allowed to eat. I hate standing in a military posture the most, hey, I knew I wouldn't be in bed.

Saturday 1993 Cloudy

I was beaten today, and my grandfather's purple sand teapot was obviously broken by Fang Jibei, but he didn't dare to admit it. Grandpa was very angry and said that the manly husband didn't even dare to take care of this little thing, which was a coward's behavior.

Forget it, who made me my brother, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell. I said that I broke the teapot, and my grandfather said that since he admitted it, he should be punished.

I was punished for spanking, and Fang Jibei actually cried in fright next to me. Hey, how can I have such a timid brother.

Friday, 1995 Fine

I'm very happy today, I have a little sister at home, not yet a year old, beautiful and cute. She is a friend of her mother, the daughter of Aunt Shen. Her little lump, I carefully held in my arms, so light, I was really afraid of falling her. She was very fond of smiling at me, and my mother said she liked me before she smiled at me.

I also want a sister like that, if only Francis were a girl.

After Fang Jidong finished dealing with the work matters, the studio was quiet. He went in to look, and Shen Yuxi was holding a notebook in his hand, and he was fascinated. He quietly walked over to see that it was his school notebook.

There was a pile of books and books on the floor that he had used when he was in school, and he didn't even know they existed. Probably when he moved, Xia Jingyi helped him tidy up, and his mother liked to put some of his previous belongings the most.

Shen Yuxi probably sensed his arrival and raised his head to look at him.

"You've been working in there for a long time, and you're just looking at these things. Fang Jidong sat down and flipped through the two pages of the notebook in her hand, and the corners of her mouth twitched, it was actually his diary. A full book, spanning from elementary school to junior high school.

Shen Yuxi smiled coquettishly: "Your diary is really interesting, it turns out that you are so cute." ”

The word cute fell on him, and he really couldn't stand it. He gently closed the diary and said unnaturally: "Where it is cute, it was written blindly when I was a child." ”

She took the diary from his hand, reopened it, pointed to one and said, "You see a little girl who pesters you every day, buys you snacks when you are hungry, and gives you gifts on your birthday." You actually annoy people, can't you see that people like you?"

"Where?" he leaned over to see that there really was, but he had little impression.

Fang Jidong sat on the cushion, Shen Yuxi leaned on his arms, and said with a smile: "I watched it for a long time, my eyes are very sore, you can read it to me." ”

Fang Jidong helplessly held his forehead: "Why should I read my diary to you?"

"Don't you want to read it? I'll see it myself. She took it herself, and suddenly said: "This is really interesting, I want to take a picture and send it to the circle of friends." ”

"Forget it, I'll read it to you. Fang Jidong snatched it up, flipped a page casually, and read it carefully.

Francis's voice is calm and magnetic, and he reads such a funny and interesting diary as a historical documentary.

His voice was so beautiful that she lay on his lap and fell asleep slowly.

By the time she woke up, it was already evening. The weather was clear, and the setting sun was shining through the windows, and the room seemed to be gilded with a warm circle of light. She was in a trance for a moment, and turned her head to see Fang Jidong still sitting next to her, holding a book in his hand and reading.

She got up and slowly moved over, leaned over to look, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, it turned out to be a junior high school physics textbook.

"Is it good-looking?" Shen Yuxi couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, it's just that these questions are too simple and don't seem to be interesting. ”

She looked at it a few more times, and she couldn't understand where the topic was so simple.

"You're so boring. She lost interest and lay back down.

"Hey, you're not interested? Oh, I remember, you used to be in the liberal arts. Fang Jidong put down the book in his hand and said to her.

"I applied for liberal arts because of my poor physics. When I was in junior high school, my physics grades were often on the verge of passing. When I was in high school, even passing was a luxury. Shen Yuxi couldn't help but sigh, at that time, her liberal arts were not very good, but physics was really poor, and finally she had no choice but to apply for liberal arts, and the head teacher at that time felt sorry for her for a long time.

"If you had met me earlier, I had won a prize in the National Physics Competition. What I learned in books was pediatrics for me. ”

"Are you showing off to me?" Shen Yuxi said angrily.

"What do you think?" Francis raised his eyebrows, and after a while he added, "I am just showing off, and only in front of you can I fully show my ingenuity." ”

After he finished speaking, he laughed out loud, Shen Yuxi was helpless, and he was ridiculed by him for not being smart enough. She didn't bother to reason with him, because he was really powerful, so why bother to humiliate herself.

"I'm hungry. "The best way to do that is to change the subject.

"What do you want to eat? Just order takeout, it's quite comfortable to spend an afternoon here, and I don't want to cook." Fang Jidong also lay down beside him, with his arms under his head, and said comfortably.

"Whatever, you can eat anything. ”

After dinner in the evening, Shen Yuxi sat on the sofa and watched TV. After a while, Fang Jidong called out to her upstairs. The TV was playing to the highlights, but Fang Jidong called over and over again, and she had to reluctantly go upstairs.

She went into the bedroom, and Francis took a shower in the bathroom.

"What are you calling me for?" she asked impatiently, still concerned about the plot of the TV series downstairs.

"I didn't bring a bath towel, you brought it in for me. ”

Shen Yuxi turned around and saw the bath towel on the armrest of the sofa, and while complaining about his carelessness, he pushed the door in with the bath towel.

The bathroom was full of steam, and Shen Yuxi couldn't see the situation inside.

"I'll put it at the door for you, you can take it yourself. Hurriedly turned around to leave, and as soon as he turned around, he was tightly hugged by the wet Fang Jidong.

"What are you doing? Get my clothes wet. Shen Yuxi frowned and pushed him, but his strength was great, and she was only in vain.

"I've been serving you all afternoon, and now it's your turn to serve me. As he spoke, he began to strip her clothes.

She finally understood his intentions, no wonder she had been so obedient in the afternoon, and was waiting for him here? She couldn't help but scream: "I was wrong, you spare me." ”

"Hmph, it's not time to beg for mercy. He laughed obscenely, Shen Yuxi sighed in his heart, and fell into his hands again.
