Chapter 10 What is a special day?
"I have to go. Tian Bo has come to pick me up, let's talk again next time." Tian Bo is the butler and driver of Xu Xuan's family, who has been watching over Xu Xuan since she was a child, and their relationship can be said to be no different from that of relatives.
"Hehe, okay! Next time we chat." Zhou Yun saw Xu Xuan was about to leave and hurriedly waved goodbye. Although he felt a bit reluctant in his heart, he had finally gotten through this ordeal. If the beauty insisted on asking him who he was waiting for, he really didn't know how to respond. Moreover, Zhou Yun had something even more worrisome. What if Xu Xuan hadn't left yet and Xu Caiyue suddenly appeared looking for him? This misunderstanding would be huge!
Xu Xuan had just walked a few steps when she suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Yun, "Do you know what day today is?"
What day is it? What kind of day is it? Zhou Yun racked his brains, thinking: "Today... April Fool's Day?" He had already suspected that today was April Fool's Day more than once. Who let today be so weird...
"No way! In a few days, it's May Day, and you're still fooling around? Go back and think carefully, today is a special day!" With that, Xu Xuan didn't wait for Zhou Yun to react, and she jumped away with two steps.
A special day? That's right! The series of events that happened today were all very unusual. But that only applies to Zhou Yun. Why did Xu Xuan say this? Could it be that she already knows something has changed about herself? Otherwise, what is she trying to imply...?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yun felt even more uneasy. He and Xu Xuan had only just met today, and before that, they hadn't even exchanged half a sentence. The things that had happened to him were so confusing that even he himself couldn't figure them out. Xu Xuan's words must have had another meaning...
Xu Xiang had just boarded the car when Tian Guan's housekeeper looked out of the window and asked Zhou Yun, "Miss, who is that?" This couldn't be blamed on the housekeeper for being nosy, after all protecting Xu Xiang was his duty. Seeing his own young mistress coming and going with a stranger without asking anything would be dereliction of duty.
Tian Jin, an old housekeeper who is about to enter his 70s, can be called a three-dynasty veteran of the Xu family without exaggeration. Except for his wife, who also works as a servant in the Xu household, he has no other relatives. Therefore, Tian Jin loves Xu Xuan, whom he has watched grow up since childhood, like his own granddaughter.
According to Tan Jin's age, he should have retired and enjoyed his life. Xu Xuan's father had also prepared a villa for him, so that he could live out his old age in peace. After all, Tan Jin had spent his whole life contributing to their family. But Tan Jin resolutely refused this kindness, the reason being that he didn't trust Xu Xuan.
For such a loyal and dedicated old steward, Xu Xuan's father was deeply moved. In this world, the hardest thing to come by is sincerity. So, Mr. Xu arranged for Tian Jin to be by Xu Xuan's side, in charge of taking care of her daily life.
"He's my new friend." Xun Wei smiled slightly. Zhou Yun gave her a pretty good impression, and it felt quite fun.
As for Tian Jin's questioning, Xu Xuan would never hide anything from him. She had long regarded the old butler as her own godfather, or rather, a relatively special good friend.
"Is that so, congratulations Miss on making new friends. However, one must always be cautious, please be more careful." Tian Jin said with concern. To be honest, he had never been quite at ease with Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan is very intelligent and does things with great care. However, she is too easy-going, and anyone can easily get close to her. This is also the reason why Tian Jin refuses to retire.
"Tan Bo Bo rest assured, I know. Drive... " Xu Xuan nodded and muttered to herself: "Actually... changed..."
It seems that the one who can perceive the changes in Zhou Yun is not just Xu Caiyue. Xu Xuan also seems to have discovered something amiss. Unfortunately, Zhou Yun was never the person she wanted to see...
Staring at the car slowly leaving, Zhou Yun stood there in a daze. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what Xu Xuan was referring to as "special". But that's no longer important, now Zhou Yun just wants to laugh, to laugh out loud. He had been waiting silently for so many days, and today he finally got his reward.
"Oh yeah! Oh my god, I love you! Hooray! Hooray!!!!!!" Zhou Yunxiao couldn't help but wave his hands and shout loudly, followed by a series of flying kisses. For him, being able to be friends with Xu Xuan was even more exciting than having his brain opened up.
Zhou Yun moved strangely, no doubt scaring the students who were on their way home from school. The students, who had been walking in a straight line, immediately changed direction and walked around him, unable to understand why Zhou Yun suddenly became eccentric.
A few guys with bad tempers even cursed loudly, "You're crazy!" But when they saw that the one who was acting wildly was Zhou Yun, they quickly shut their mouths and honestly lowered their heads to slip away. This guy with a record of being crazy, who dares to provoke him? Otherwise, he might just kick them flying.
The car had just started and hadn't gone far when Xu Xuan heard that idiotic, maniacal laughter. Although she couldn't see who was being crazy, judging from the sound, it must be Zhou Yun without a doubt.
She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh at the thought of Zhou Yun's silly expression. Even she hadn't expected that just a few casual words with him would get him so excited. He was really adorable in his innocence...
Suddenly being scolded with a sentence of having a problem, Zhou Yun immediately realized his idiotic behavior. If it were in the past, he would definitely pull out the guy who cursed and severely criticize him for a while. Let them understand who really has a problem. As for now, good mood is truly good! He touched his nose and started whistling, as if nothing had happened, continuing to wait for someone.
On the surface, Zhou Yun finally calmed down. But in his heart, he was still excited. Just as he wanted to make another strange move, a faint voice came from behind him: "Xiao Yun is so happy, I really didn't expect that a toad could be friends with a white swan, it's truly a miracle..."
Hearing these hurtful words, Zhou Yun knew who had arrived even without turning around. Turning his body to look at the smiling beauty, he suddenly asked with a mix of anger and helplessness: "When did you come?"
"Just when you thought it was safe." Xǔ Cǎi Yuè giggled and said, "I didn't intentionally eavesdrop, but you guys were talking too loudly, I couldn't help but hear."
Eavesdropping on others' conversations and still managing to sound reasonable, she's the only one who can pull it off.
"Ugh..." Zhou Yun let out a helpless sigh, his right to privacy was definitely being invaded. This person came without making a sound and actually hid behind him to eavesdrop on their conversation, how despicable.
Xu Caiyue looked at Zhou Yun as if she had seen through his thoughts, and asked suspiciously: "Do you want me to beat the mandarin ducks? When you two were chatting enthusiastically, did you tell him I was coming?"
"Class monitor, why don't you move a bit further away? That way, you won't be able to hear me talking." Such simple logic, yet Zhou Yun didn't believe that Xu Caiyue wouldn't understand.
"It's you who made me wait here." Xǔ Cǎi Yuè said with a straight face and an air of righteousness. This girl, actually shifted the blame onto Zhōu Yún, it's really speechless.
"Whatever! You win!" A good man doesn't fight with a woman, and Zhou Yun was too lazy to argue with Xu Caiyue about this boring issue. Anyway, it wasn't something that couldn't be seen in public. Even if she found out, what could she do? Did he need her approval to flirt with girls? She wasn't his wife, why should she control him? Thinking of these things, Zhou Yun stopped arguing with Xu Caiyue.
"Go ahead, what do you need help with?" Zhou Yun still had no idea why Xu Caiyue was looking for him.
