"What is it?"
Xiao Mo looked at us stupidly and asked. Sun Jia Yi scratched her head and said in a confused manner, "I don't quite understand either."
I stared absently at the door as I listened to their conversation.
I suddenly regained consciousness when I saw Jun Shi at the door. Jun Shi ran to me. When he arrived, he handed over the medicine.
"Here, eat it if your stomach still hurts."
I looked at him in surprise. I felt bad, the boy is suffering so much for me, even fake stomach ache. There is no stomach pain, but I took the medicine from him thinking that I should respect his work by taking the medicine. Looking around for a bottle of water, Jun Shi passed his own water bottle towards me.
I gave him a curt "thank you" and took the medicine.
Coming home from school and thinking about Jun Shi. Did I exaggerate a little today? He had to run so many roads for me. Still I managed my mind. "Come on! He's hurt himself through his own fault. Did I ask him to bring medicine even once!? Hmm!!"
Entering the house and taking off my shoes, I said, "Mom, I'm back." Mom said from the kitchen, "Go and freshen up." I was surprised when I entered the room. Meng Yi came home!
"Hey! When did you get well? You didn't even text me!"
Meng Yi said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you that? I'm back at school in 2-3 days. I recovered 2-3 days ago. But I took an extra few days of rest, there's no point in taking the risk!"
"I understand that, but why didn't mom tell me anything? She told me to go and freshen up. 'Meng Yi came,' didn't even say this!"
"I was actually the one who forbade Aunt Xu from telling you. So, how was the surprise?"
I hugged her and said, "That was great! I'm so happy! We can go to school together from tomorrow! By the way, are you going to school tomorrow?"
Meng Yi said a little upset, "Well..."
I understood that she would not go. When I gave up hope, she said, ".......Yes!"
My eyes sparkled. "Okay! So from tomorrow we two bestie-cousins will go to school together, hoo hoo!"
Fresh out of the washroom, I saw Meng Yi sitting and watching a drama on her mobile phone. I took her mobile from her hand, said, "You come to my house after so long, will you watch the drama instead of talking to me? Go to your house and watch it! Now tell me how you feel after coming out of captivity for so long?"
She sighed and said, "Don't even think about it, it's unbearable to think about. Meng Hao Xuan has annoyed me a lot, but it doesn't matter. My time will come, and then I'll show him who I am!"
I giggled, "Whatever you say! Your brother-sister relationship is to be envied. Cute."
"Cute my foot! He always comes to step on my tail. I don't have any good memories with him except for fights!"
I started rolling on the ground laughing. At that moment, mom knocked on the door and said, "Ran Xia! It takes so long for you to get fresh!? The food is getting cold, I can't heat it up for you a second time, I told you!"
I quickly got out of bed. I asked Meng Yi, "Have you eaten anything?"
"Do you think Aunt Xu kept me so long without eating? She didn't even let me wait for you."
"That's right." With that, I handed Meng Yi's mobile phone to Meng Yi and left the room to eat.
Dad came home in the evening. I ran and took Dad's bag from Dad, "Dad, you know! Meng Yi came home today!"
Dad said with a smile, "Wow! Great news! So Meng Yi has recovered?"
I nodded yes. Dad patted my head and said, "Then starting tomorrow, Ran Xia won't have to go to school alone anymore!"
Mom came out of the kitchen and said, "Hurry up and freshen up. Dinner is ready."
"Ok dear, I'll freshen up then." Saying this dad took the bag from my hand and went to his room.
I am sitting at my desk after dinner. Not a single letter of the book enters my mind. I looked back at the sound of a sudden knock on the door. Opening the door, dad entered and said, "Are you studying, dear?"
I smiled and said, "Yes dad, sit down!"
Dad came and sat on the bed. He said, "How is your school going? And what about studying?"
I said, "Hmmm good. But study seems so hard dad!"
Dad smiled and said, "It's normal. But the more time you practice, the clearer it will be! Then you'll think that studying isn't so difficult!"
I smiled and nodded yes.
"So from tomorrow Meng Yi will go to school with you. You got one close friend. What about the others? How friendly are they?"
I said, "Everyone is slowly becoming friends, dad! Everyone is really good!"
As I said these words, I once again remembered Jun Shi bringing medicine for me in the morning.
Dad said, "Great! Your school is slowly becoming normal for you. Next time when you'll go to school, you'll find that almost everyone in your class is your friend!"
I smiled. Dad said, "By the way, that's what I came for. Take this."
Dad gave me 20 RMB. I thanked him and hugged him Dad patted my head and left the room. I put the money in my piggy bank. My dad gave me such money since I was 6 years old.
I once said when I was a child, I will drive a scooty when I grow up. One day, father suddenly gave me a piggy bank and 30 RMB and said, "Here. Save money here. When you'll grow up, I will buy you a scooty with this money."
I have been saving money in this Piggy Bank for almost 10 years today. Dad gives me money every month or sometimes daily. I decided in my heart, I will buy a scooter after the college entrance exam!
