Chapter Fifty-Three Comfort

  "Yuèjié, are you alright?" Xiāo Yángchén asked with concern, looking at the slightly red left side of Xǔ Yuèjié's face.

  Xu Yu Jie seemed very calm, and waved her hand at Xiao Yang Chen. Then she turned to Mu Yu Huan, who was regretting slapping herself, and said: "We've been playing together since we were kids, although we often quarrel, but we never broke up before. Today, you actually hit me for a man who has nothing to do with us?"

  Obviously Mu Yu also had some regrets, but since things were already done, he said: "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

  "Don't say any more, I'm telling you, if you continue to side with Ouyang and have any further contact with him, our friendship will be severed from now on!" Xue Yuejie said angrily, covering her face with her hand.

  "Hey, Huang, you'd better have a good talk with Yu Jie. From now on, don't bother with Ouyang Chenxi anymore. We're still good sisters, right? Why let him affect our relationship?" Xiang Yangchen also helped to mediate for Mu Yu Huang.

  "Alright, Yu Jie, if you've really decided on this, then our friendship ends here." Mu Yu Hang said, turning to leave the cold drink shop, but was caught by Xiao Yang Chen.

  "Can you tell me why? You're turning against your best sister for a guy you've just known for over a year? What's so special about him that makes it worth doing this?" Xiang Yangchen looked angry too.

  "Because I like him, can I?" Mu Yuhan said, breaking free from Xiao Yangchen's hand and continuing to walk towards the outside of the cold drink hall.

  "Yuèjié, look..." Xiao Yangchen turned his head and said to Xu Yuèjié who was somewhat dazed.

  "It doesn't matter, since she wants to stand on Ou Yang's side, this slap, I will make them pay the price sooner or later." Xu Yu Jie said, then continued sitting in the chair drinking cold beverages. The Saturday that was like a nightmare just passed by like that. Sunday.

  "Ouyang, Mais is here, hurry up and get out of bed!" It was already 9:30. Feng Hongyan thought Ouyang hadn't gotten up yet, so she pushed open the door to his room. What she saw was Ouyang lying flat on his back in bed, staring straight at the ceiling with both eyes wide open, his body completely still, like a dead person.

  "Morning glow.... Mother Feng Hongyan was apparently worried about the child's situation, and Mais, who had changed his shoes after entering from outside, also came to the door. Seeing Ouyang's appearance, he turned his head and said to Feng Hongyan: "Nothing, old lady, you should busy yourself."

  "Then it's up to you." Feng Hongyan patted Ma Si on the shoulder and turned to walk towards her own room.

  Mais sat on the edge of Ouyang's bed, saying nothing. After a long time, Ouyang, who was lying in bed, spoke up.

  "You're here," Ouyang said, turning his head to the other side, clearly unwilling for others to see him in his current state.

  "I told you, didn't I? It's just a girl. I've already warned you about that Mo Yue being no good, but you wouldn't listen." Mais tried to comfort Ouyang, but this clearly had little effect.

  "It's me who didn't do well enough, it's not her fault, after all, it's still my ability that's not good enough." said Ouyang.

  "What you can't handle is her playing with you, and you still don't understand?"

  "I understand." Ouyang said lightly, Mais also didn't know what to say anymore. After a while, Mais said to Ouyang: "Let the past be the past, people who are always drowning in the past have no future."

  "People who are always drowning in the past, have no future..." Ouyang Kong repeated Mais's words, after a while, Ouyang sat up from bed and said: "I understand, thank you."

  Mais heard Ouyang say that, smiled and walked to Ouyang's side, patted Ouyang's shoulder and said: "That's right, you're only in the second year of junior high school, your youth has just begun, with a face as handsome as yours, how can you worry about not finding a partner? But compared to me, it might be slightly inferior."

  Ouyang looked a bit better and said: "Forget it, you've just settled for a class flower, by the way, how did you get her to break up with her original boyfriend?"

  Mays said, "Of course it's my personal charm." As soon as Mays finished saying this, he found that Ouyang was staring at him with a strange look in his eyes. He coughed dryly and said, "Okay, actually, her boyfriend is too poor. I buy her over ten roses every day for a week, and she agreed."

  "Oh, so that means money played a big role?" After analyzing it, Mais nodded, and Ouyang thought for a moment before continuing: "Then tell me, if I buy Moonlight Water Crystal and flowers for Rong every day, will she change her mind?"

  Mais's fist landed on Ouyang's head, saying: "What are you thinking? To her, you're like expired food, no matter how good the packaging is, she won't unwrap it again. Do you understand?" Ouyang looked a bit heartbroken, Mais continued: "But that Mu Yuhan seems to get along with you pretty well, why don't..."

  "It's impossible for me and her." Ouyang was still visibly upset about Mu Yuhan hiding things from him, then he said to Mais: "I heard that although her boyfriend doesn't have much money, he has a group of friends who are willing to stand up for him. You won't have any problems, right? Don't go fighting with them later."

  "How is that possible? He has someone, but I don't. Money can solve all problems, don't worry." Ouyang sighed at Mai's rich young master attitude.

  "Who wants to fight?" The voice of the mother came from the doorway, Ouyang looked at Feng Hongyan carrying a plate of watermelon walking in. "Come on, have some fruit." Feng Hongyan put the fruit on the table and then said: "You two aren't going to fight with someone else, are you?"

  "How is that possible." The two brothers laughed in unison, then turned to Feng Hongyan and said. Feng Hongyan saw that Ouyang Chenxi's complexion had improved a lot, so she also relaxed and said: "You two are going out to play later, right? Come back for lunch at noon?"

  "No way, Ouyang said he's going to treat me to lunch," Mais said with a smile. Ouyang obviously didn't get it, and Mais whispered in his ear, "You won't forget that you lost the bet to me, will you?"

  "I lost, and I asked you to play a game, but didn't ask you to eat," Ouyang whispered to Mais, seeing the two children whispering to each other, Feng Hongyan smiled and said: "Since that's the case, then I won't bother you guys anymore. Just remember to come back for dinner tonight, Ouyang, go wash your face and then go with Mais." Ouyang nodded and got up to wash his face, when he walked into the bathroom, Feng Hongyan said to Mais: "You're still the one who can handle him." Mais patted his chest and said: "Of course, if there's anything in the future, just leave it to me."

  Two people were walking on the way to the mall, Ma Si had heard Ouyang mention it a long time ago that there was a PS2 game room on the top floor of the mall. He remembered that when he was in elementary school, Ouyang and Ma Si often went to Huanglou to play games, and Ma Si missed those days very much.

  "Speaking of which, I've never been inside this mall before," said Ma Si, "although I've eaten nearby before, but I've never come in. It's indeed much better than our small shopping malls and supermarkets."

  Ouyang seemed very calm, saying: "I've almost walked around here a thousand times, it's not interesting." Ma Si thought for a moment and said: "Then why don't you go to other places in District C? You can just let your mom take you there."

  "Never mind, my mom is tired every day just going to work, let alone if I go out by myself, even if my mom agrees, this road idiot may get lost somewhere." Ouyang sighed and said.

  "In that case, if you want to take a stroll later, I can come over from District D. It's only half an hour away anyway." Ouyang could tell that Maisie seemed very interested in District C, so he agreed.

  Two people played games in the game hall for a whole morning. At noon, as agreed, Ouyang went to invite Mais to eat KFC.

  "Speaking of which, you've managed to win over that class beauty, but girls who are won over with money aren't usually reliable, right?" Ouyang picked up a hamburger and started chewing. "Who says? Xiao Qian is really good to me, she said since she chose me as her boyfriend, then she has to fulfill her girlfriend duties." Mais looked like he was in bliss, it was the first time Ouyang saw such an expression on his face, so he asked: "So what are these so-called duties of hers?"

  Mays said while eating chicken wings: "She gave me a notebook and told me to hand it over to her every day, then she would write a paragraph, like a letter, and give it back to me."

  "What's all this about?" Ouyang also became interested, took a sip of cola and asked hurriedly.

  "Do you know, there really are heart-shaped leaves in this world. She specially picked some and gave them to me, right on the first page of my notebook." Mais said.

  "Is that so? Then when I get back over there, remember to let me take a look at that book." Mais nodded in agreement after Ou Yang finished speaking.

  "You're also preparing that kind of thing, right?" Mais suggested to Ouyang. Ouyang thought for a moment and sighed, saying: "Alas, there used to be people who would send them, but now there aren't any." After finishing this sentence, Ouyang remembered the two crystal bottles at home.

  "It doesn't have to be a girlfriend, anyone with a good relationship can receive it, for example..." Mais was thinking, Ouyang knew who Mais was going to say and stuffed a chicken wing into Mais' mouth. Then he thought for a moment and said: "En, I know who to give it to."

  "Who, if not the person I'm talking about, wouldn't it be Xu Xue Mei? Or are you going to send a boy?" Mais said when sending a boy, he had a chill. Then, he casually picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. Of course, when Ouyang saw Mais's chilly expression, he instantly made a disdainful face.

  "Even if I told you, you wouldn't know." Ouyang smiled wryly and said a sentence.

  "Murong Xiaozhu."
