Chapter 263: Estrangement
"This voice is ......" Lan Ya was stunned, then glanced back. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Ye Jiaxin looks like she was dressed more maturely, her temperament is still gentle, her skin is whiter, and her figure is slightly thinner than five years ago. But...... In front of Lan Ya and others, she is still not excellent in appearance, and she is not even beautiful.
But getting out of the car with her, there was also a foreign guy with some freckles on his nose, tall and strong, not handsome in appearance but with a gentle expression, helping Ye Jiaxin hold her duffel bag, walking with a limp, and seemed to have some problems with her legs.
"Jiaxin! When did you get back!? Lan Ya pounced excitedly and hugged Ye Jiaxin tightly.
"Ouch...... You girl still has such a big brute force. Ye Jiaxin said with a wry smile, and after coaxing Lan Ya down, she explained, "I just came back, didn't I make an appointment to meet here today five years ago?" I didn't say the specific time, so I could only try to rush as early as possible, and I rushed over as soon as I got off the plane, and I haven't gone to find a hotel yet. ”
Lin Zhi looked at the foreigner behind Ye Jiaxin with interest and smiled: "Who is this?" ”
"Oh, this is my husband Toms, I've settled in the United States." Ye Jiaxin explained with a smile, "What about you? Xiaoya, are you married to Yun Xuan? ”
"yes, the wedding banquet that was held in October last year." Lan Ya put her arm around Chu Yunxuan and smiled.
The atmosphere became awkward for a while, because in the five years since Ye Jiaxin left, she had never contacted any of them, and it was obvious that she had never been able to get out of the past, and there were too many facts that had happened in the past five years, and it was a little dry to ask each other how they had been in the past five years.
"Well, we're going to try all the snacks we've had in high school, do you want to come along?" Linda? Xiao Xiao asked a little timidly, Ye Jiaxin's going abroad probably made her feel a little guilty.
"Ah, I ......," Ye Jiaxin was just about to answer. Chu Yunxuan preemptively said, "Forget it." They just came from the airport, so let her take a break. You see. How about a few of you go and buy something back and we'll eat by the car? I'm here to talk to them because my English is okay. Is that okay? ”
"Oh." Xiao Xiao knew that Chu Yunxuan had something to say, so she responded obediently. hugged Su Qian's arm, waved to Lan Ya and Lin Zhi, and said, "Let's go, mother-in-law." Xiaoya, you show us the way in front. ”
After the girls left, Chu Yunxuan shook hands with Ye Jiaxin's husband: "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Me too, you speak very good English, with a British accent, very sexy." Thomas grinned.
"Thank you." Chu Yunxuan said. turned to Ye Jiaxin, "So, you can face them calmly now?" ”
Ye Jiaxin sighed, lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers: "I know it's a bit too much to blame them for those things. And using this as an excuse to flee abroad, it must be a blow to them, right? ”
"Well, they've always felt guilty, so they didn't dare to contact you for so long." Chu Yunxuan said lightly.
Ye Jiaxin smiled bitterly: "You are still the same as before, you always seem to be able to see through everything." ”
"yes, that's annoying, isn't it." Chu Yunxuan smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "So, what is your answer?" ”
Ye Jiaxin held Toms' hand and said with a smile: "I want to ...... Yes. I don't worry about physical appearances anymore. There are many women abroad who will have plastic surgery, breast augmentation and microplastic surgery. I've been through a lot in the past five years, and I've found that appearance and happiness are not directly linked. I've found ...... A happiness that has nothing to do with appearance. ”
Saying that, Ye Jiaxin and Toms looked at each other and smiled: "A lot of things happened after Toms and I met, and he was suddenly diagnosed ...... after we were together for a year."
"Okay, that's it." Chu Yunxuan interrupted her and said with a smile: "You can tell them about this later." ”
While waiting for Lan Ya to come back, Ye Jiaxin smiled and asked her husband, "How is it, my friends, they are all beautiful, right?" There was no jealousy in his tone, but a hint of pride.
"Yes, they are beautiful, but I think that girls in Huaxia should be as gentle and virtuous as you." Thomas smiled slightly and said, "I just like this aspect of Huaxia girls, so you are the most beautiful to me." ”
Chu Yunxuan can also roughly understand. After all, foreign women are much plumper than Chinese women in terms of figure, and their appearance is more in line with the aesthetics of foreigners, so their figure and appearance are not dominant, so the easiest thing to highlight is naturally personality.
After Lan Ya and the others bought the fried noodles and chicken steaks, everyone bought some drinks at the bubble tea shop opposite the school, and chatted while blowing the air conditioner in the store. This scene also surprised passers-by and the clerks in the bubble tea shop.
Porsche and Ford Explorers were parked outside the store, and a large group of people sat in the store drinking milk tea and eating chicken cutlets and fried ramen, many of them were beautiful women and handsome guys, and one of them was a foreigner, which was indeed a strange scene.
However, the atmosphere was still quite awkward, everyone just ate and drank silently, and didn't talk much.
"Yang Rui, it's been a long time." In the end, Ye Jiaxin took the initiative to say hello to Yang Rui with a smile. Yang Rui was stunned, and then smiled heartlessly: "Yes, it's been a long time, and you're already married." ”
"yes, I've been married for a year." Ye Jiaxin smiled faintly, "What about you, or do you only know how to stay at home every day?" ”
Yang Rui said a little angrily: "It's not okay at all, I'm busy with graduate papers and interviews now, and I have to run around every day!" And I have a girlfriend now, too, although it may be almost broken......"
"From these words, I can hear that you haven't made any progress at all since you broke up with me." Ye Jiaxin pursed her lips slightly and sighed.
"Uh...... I'm just really busy these days......" Yang Rui raised his eyebrows, and suddenly lost his momentum. Lan Ya asked at this time, "Jiaxin, how did you and your husband meet?" What are you doing now? ”
"Me and Toms? I met when I was in college. Ye Jiaxin said with a smile, "I talked to him for less than half a year, when the relationship between the two was very problematic, and then he was diagnosed with hip cancer and had to start the process of radiotherapy and chemotherapy." I stayed with him all this time, after which his cancer cells metastasized to his leg. Doctors say you can live as long as you have arthropods. ”
As she spoke, Ye Jiaxin smiled at Toms in English: "Honey, show them your legs, right?" ”
Thomas lifted his trouser leg, revealing the prosthetic leg underneath. Ye Jiaxin continued: "But there are gains and losses. Right? ”
Thomas seemed to know what she was saying, and replied in English, "yes." I found someone who was willing to take care of me even if I had cancer, and who was a good cook, and I think the price of a leg was still very cost-effective. ”
Ye Jiaxin finally opened up the conversation, so she was out of control. Both sides talked about the past five years, and there were a lot of things during this period, and everyone talked about them for a long, long time.
As he spoke, everyone walked around the school. The old campus of Dongzhou No. 2 Middle School has hardly changed from their high school days, except that the desks, chairs, blackboards and air conditioners in the classrooms have been replaced, and then there is a new campus next door, and the playground has been slightly repaired.
"Come here and take a look. It's really impressive. Ye Jiaxin stroked her sideburns and sighed.
"yes, we were here for three years. Do you remember your junior year of high school? When I was studying at night, it was pitch black outside the window. Lanya laughed. Pushed open the window of this classroom and said, "At that time, Yun Xuan always looked out the window in a daze. ”
"He's been in a daze at school since he was a child, okay?" Xiao Xiao pinched Chu Yunxuan's face and smiled dotingly.
Ye Jiaxin looked at Xiao Xiao and said with a smile: "Once Xiao Xiao was hiding in the corner and eating beef patties and was caught by the teacher. ”
"Well, don't blame me, because it's not delicious when it's cold!" Xiao Xiao said, her face flushed.
"Then what's the matter with you eating cold noodles in class?" Yang Rui teased on the side.
Xiao Xiao said impatiently: "Hey, okay! The old lady just likes the sneaky feeling of eating in class! What are you doing?! Targeting me, right? Isn't that Nyingchi also stinky and beautiful, and he always chats there during class!? ”
"Why is the old lady talking about you, you stinky mother-in-law!? It's just that the braid is sent to tie the hair again! Lin Zhi said angrily.
Xiao Xiao smiled enchantingly: "Ouch, yes." Look at your hair tied so amorous, the old lady's hair is thrown over and over on the left side, how elegant and quiet, you men still don't surrender to the old lady? ”
"You stinky bitch!" Lin Zhi pinched Xiao Xiao's waist angrily, and everyone immediately laughed and made a fuss.
Wang Yufei looked at Zhong Yanling and smiled: "Speaking of which, Lingling used to like to listen to mp3 secretly in class?" So he untied his hair and put it down to cover his ears, so he always wore it out of his head. ”
"Hey, hey, hey." Zhong Yanling laughed embarrassedly, "It seems that the only good students are Xiaoya, Fei Fei and Jiaxin." ”
"Why did you ignore me?" Yang Rui's eyes widened and asked, Chu Yunxuan suddenly said angrily: "You can pull it down, which of those irrelevant classes did you not hide under the drawer and play all kinds of gba literary music stars?" ”
Lan Ya covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yes, I remember." How many times has the Wenqu Star version of Sword and Fairy Legend been cleared? ”
"Well, it's only been twice...... Yang Rui said embarrassedly, "Those classes won't be tested anyway, so it's better to use them to recuperate." ”
"You don't seem to have told me yet, who is this kid?" Ye Jiaxin looked at Su Qian, who had been silent beside her, and smiled.
Xiao Xiao and Lin Zhi introduced Su Qian, and then talked about the three of them now working in Chu Yunxuan's restaurant, so Ye Jiaxin proposed to go to Chu Yunxuan's store for an afternoon to have a good chat, and then eat in Chu Yunxuan's restaurant in the evening.
I also ate the snacks I ate in high school, and I also went shopping in the school, so they bought some snacks from the school commissary that they would buy in the past, and they couldn't stand the torture of the high temperature and set off for Chu Yunxuan's store.
While in the car, Ye Jiaxin asked, "Where does Xiaoya work now?" ”
"Yun Xuan and I have returned to Dongzhou No. 2 Middle School to become teachers, and the homeroom teacher of our high school is now the vice principal." Lan Ya said with great interest, "I teach mathematics, and Yun Xuan just goes to play soy sauce to accompany me, so he teaches physical education, and he has a lot of free time." After all, his restaurant is the main source of income, and he is the store manager, so he still has to go to the store to have a look when he has time. ”
"Huh? No wonder you seem to be familiar with the school just now. But the two of you really don't separate anywhere, it's really enviable. Ye Jiaxin couldn't help sighing, then turned to Lin Zhi and Xiao Xiao, and teased: "What about Lin Zhi and Xiao Xiao, after Xiao Ya and Yun Xuan got married, the two of you gave up Yun Xuan?" Are you still single? ”
"If you don't accept it, you can't do it. These two people are so affectionate, if you want to see the stitches, you have to have stitches, right? Lin Zhi looked out the window and smiled, "But I didn't give up." I want to continue to get better. Try to make him fall in love with me...... That's all there is to it. ”
Xiao Xiao raised her chin and smiled proudly: "Just kidding, we're ** now, okay?" We are all Yunxuan's harem. He bought a villa and kept all four of us. ”
"Really? Everyone must be happy living together, right? Ye Jiaxin pursed her lips and smiled, and then looked at Wang Yufei and Zhong Yanling on the Porsche outside the window, "What about the two of them?" It's okay. They used to have a good relationship. ”
"They're both very nice, and they're doing what they love." Lin Zhi smiled slightly, "One became a star and made a name for himself in the entertainment industry, and the other became a reporter and reported news everywhere in the city." ”
Everyone chatted all the way to Chu Yunxuan's shop. I ordered some snacks and drinks and continued to chat.
"Uh-huh, it's still comfortable here." Xiao Xiao stretched and smiled.
"Let you taste the craftsmanship of our Xiaoqian, our Xiaoqian is a Michelin-starred senior dim sum chef." Lin Zhi proudly patted Su Qian's brain, while Su Qian smiled obediently and waved her hand to them: "I'm going to the kitchen." ”
After a small snack. Thomas took two sips, and immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise, and couldn't help but smile: "It's amazing, this taste ......"
"Remembered the meal I cooked?" Ye Jiaxin smiled, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth, "It's not strange, the boss here." Saying that, Ye Jiaxin patted Chu Yunxuan's shoulder and continued: "It's him, he's my master." ”
"Oops! That's a ...... The dishes made by Jiaxin are so delicious, so you must try them. Thomas said with a smile.
Saying that, Ye Jiaxin suddenly asked coldly, "Don't you have a child yet?" ”
Lan Ya was suddenly choked and coughed. Chu Yunxuan gently stroked Lan Ya's back beside him, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what's so exciting about this." Slow down, okay? ”
Yun Xuan said that he would want it later, he wanted to enjoy the world of two people for a few more years. Lan Ya held Chu Yunxuan's hand and said with a red face.
"Huh!? You've been talking for eight years, right? I still want to continue to enjoy the world of two people...... Yun Xuan is really, won't the love between the two of you be consumed? Ye Jiaxin asked with some consternation.
Chu Yunxuan hugged Lan Ya's thin shoulders and smiled: "Don't be kidding, it's no problem to love for a lifetime." ”
Lan Ya's face turned red instantly, and she lowered her head shyly. Lin Zhi seemed to be unable to stand their show of affection, and pulled on to the next topic: "Then Jiaxin, you will settle in the United States in the future?" What about the parents? It's inconvenient when you're old, isn't it? ”
"I should have settled over there, and my parents would do their best to help them get green cards, and they should get them before they get old, after all, I have already started a family here." Ye Jiaxin explained.
"What about your job with your husband?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously, "What are you doing in the United States?" ”
"I'm the marketing director, and he's the advertising designer." Ye Jiaxin said with a smile, "Actually, the United States is really good, whether it is going to restaurants, shopping malls, banks or government departments, it gives you the feeling that you are the one who is superior, and they have to keep their voices down, which is completely opposite to the situation in China." Yun Xuan can think about it, anyway, your conditions are so good. ”
Chu Yunxuan just smiled and shook his head: "Forget my words, everyone in the United States has a gun license, which is not safer than in China." Moreover, my parents and father-in-law and mother-in-law are used to life in China, and they are reluctant to give up those old neighbors. ”
Lan Ya also chimed in: "And I don't like to eat bread and salad at every meal, it's okay to adjust it occasionally, I can't stand it for a long time." Sure enough, the vegetables still have to be fried and delicious, and the staple food still has to eat rice to be fragrant. ”
"It's really hard to get a lot of vegetables from China over there...... It's not easy to even find some cabbage, but there are a lot of fruits. Ye Jiaxin smiled bitterly and turned to Zhong Yanling, who was chatting with Wang Yufei: "When will Lingling go to the United States to perform?" ”
"Maybe, I don't know." Zhong Yanling smiled shyly, "Of course I want to enter Hollywood and global concerts and the like, but it's too far away from me now." Even if they are super first-line stars, there are very few who can enter Hollywood. Even Miss Yang Qingqing, who has been helping me, has only played a few supporting roles in Hollywood blockbusters. How could I ......"
"Anyway, take it one step at a time, maybe you will get tired by then. As the saying goes, it's not cold in high places, and it's not a good thing to blindly pursue the top. Chu Yunxuan comforted on the side, and the meaning of these words was also obvious: I can't help with this matter.
Zhong Yanling pursed her lips and smiled. Nodding: "Hmm." I know. ”
Wang Yufei patted Zhong Yanling's shoulder and comforted her, then turned to Ye Jiaxin and asked, "When will Jiaxin return to the United States?" Do you want to stay here for a few more days? ”
"Hmm. I also came back this time to meet my parents and relatives. The last time we met was when I got married to Toms, and my parents didn't know English, so they didn't talk much about it, so we probably had to stay for a week. Ye Jiaxin said. looked at Toms and smiled: "But anyway, I won't worry that he won't be used to eating Chinese food, just let him come to Yunxuan's store." ”
Speaking of this, Ye Jiaxin whispered: "You don't know, foreigners are very troublesome, they only eat those foods that can be eaten in one bite, and they don't touch the freshwater fish meat with too many spines, and my parents like to make braised fish and sweet and sour fish the most." And they think preserved eggs taste like. You know I like to eat preserved eggs......"
"It's still inconvenient to marry a foreigner, right?" Xiao Xiao teased with a smile.
At this time, a wealthy handsome man suddenly came in from outside the door with a bouquet of flowers, walked straight to Chu Yunxuan's side, and then raised the flowers in his hand to Xiao Xiao. Said sincerely: "Xiao Xiao, I have been following you for a long time, I like you, I like your cheerfulness and crispness, I like your childishness and little rudeness, I will use my life to love you, please give me a chance." ”
Suddenly, the faces of Lan Ya and the others at the scene changed, after all, Ye Jiaxin left because of her appearance inadequacy in front of them, and now this rich and handsome behavior is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
Therefore, Xiao Xiao looked at Ye Jiaxin hesitantly, not knowing what to say, she would have spoken ill of her before.
Seeing this, this rich and handsome man probably thought that he had a chance, so he immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, shook Xiao Xiao's hand, and said affectionately: "Please believe me, I didn't care about anything in order to be with you, and I broke up with my girlfriend who had only been talking for two weeks and came to you." ”
"You're not right." Ye Jiaxin teased on the side, "You just said that you have been paying attention to our family Xiaozi for a long time, and now you said that you broke up with your girlfriend who has only been talking for two weeks and came to her." So you're either a beast who still sees things when you have a girlfriend, or you already have someone you like and can't be with someone you don't like? ”
"Uh, I...... That's ......" The rich and handsome man suddenly stammered, while Lan Ya and the others laughed out loud.
Xiao Xiao withdrew her hand in disgust and asked aggressively, "How is it, what kind of person are you?" ”
"That's right, I had a girlfriend at that time, but when I saw you, I thought you were my real life! If I continue to be with her, it won't come to fruition, and it's not good for both of us to force it down......," Gao Fushuai explained.
Ye Jiaxin spoke again: "Hey, that's not right." At that time, you and your girlfriend who had been talking to you for two weeks were still together, which means that you liked Xiaozi for less than two weeks now, so how can it be said that you have been following her for a long time? Aren't you empty words? ”
Now the rich and handsome man completely stammered, Ye Jiaxin continued: "You say you, no shopkeeper is handsome, no shopkeeper is rich, no shopkeeper is dedicated, and the IQ is not as good as the shopkeeper, what do you do to steal our Xiaozi's heart?"
Gao Fushuai looked at Chu Yunxuan, let out an annoyed "tsk", and walked out of the store with his ashes.
"Okay, the boring people have left, let's continue, shall we? Where's the conversation? Ye Jiaxin said with a smile.
Lan Ya and the others seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves relaxed. Lin Zhi smiled and said, "I talked until I wanted to eat preserved eggs." By the way, Jiaxin, when are you going to have a baby? ”
"Oh, I'm pregnant, it's been three months, and my belly is already a little scratched." Ye Jiaxin said with a smile, and everyone suddenly exclaimed, and they all gathered around Ye Jiaxin, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
Chu Yunxuan, who was on the side, smiled slightly, sighed, and whispered to himself, "That's fine." ”
