The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens
Chapter 284 Rumors
Yang Xue's words were playful. She approached Xu Xiufang and said half-jokingly, "Really? Your boyfriend personally sent you to class?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Xu Xiufang looked at Yang Xue's face, looking a little helpless, "It's because Xiaoyun started attending nursery here today, and we came together. My husband is about to catch the bus."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xue nodded in understanding, but seeing that Xie Yi was still there, she did not pursue the matter any further.
Chen Lu, Guo Yunxin and Zhou Xiaoyue were all surprised at Xie Yi's true identity, especially Zhou Xiaoyue. She could hardly believe that Xu Xiufang's partner was so handsome. He was very different from the legendary image of a country youth. There was not a trace of earth on his body.
Zhou Xiaoyue's heart was filled with complex emotions. Besides jealousy, she also felt that Xie Yi's face seemed familiar, as if she had seen him in some vague memory.
After greeting Xu Xiufang, Chen Lu and Guo Yunxin turned their gazes to Xie Yi and asked curiously, "Xiufang, who is this..."
"He is my boyfriend."
Xu Xiufang introduced them politely and generously, then turned to Xie Yi, "Brother Yi, they are my roommates."
Knowing all about Zhou Xiaoyue's private behavior, Xu Xiufang chose to ignore her. This subtle move was naturally seen by Chen Lu and others, and Zhou Xiaoyue's face darkened.
Xie Yi caught the subtle changes in the air, and after briefly responding to Chen Lu and Guo Yunxin's greetings, he said to Xu Xiufang: "Wife, I'm leaving first, be careful."
"Be careful on the road."
Xu Xiufang gave her instructions with deep affection.
"Ah."
Xie Yi smiled slightly, then turned and left.
"Let's go, we have to get ready for class."
Xu Xiufang said to Yang Xue.
"Ok."
The two walked side by side, taking steps towards their daily lives.
Chen Lu and Guo Yunxin's eyes met, and at that moment, without words, a tacit understanding was conveyed between them.
They nimbly passed by Zhou Xiaoyue's figure, like two spring breezes, gently passing by, without stopping for a moment, and followed the road ahead.
Dissatisfaction gathered on Zhou Xiaoyue's face like dark clouds, and her brows were filled with confusion and loss that had been accumulating since last semester.
She felt that the once close-knit trio was gradually falling apart, and an invisible wall seemed to be quietly built between Chen Lu, Guo Yunxin and her.
This estrangement, like an untimely cold wind in spring, made her unhappy.
The name Xu Xiufang echoed in Zhou Xiaoyue's mind, filled with confusion and a hint of jealousy.
She didn't understand why everyone was flocking to that ordinary-looking girl like moths to a flame, as if there was some unknown magic surrounding her.
The anger and unwillingness in Zhou Xiaoyue's heart were like a flame fanned by the wind, burning more and more vigorously, but the rational ice water extinguished the anger in time.
She knew very well that if she left alone at this moment, she would only find herself isolated and helpless.
So, she forced a smile, pretended to be dissatisfied, and sprinted to catch up with Chen Lu and Guo Yunxin, complaining in her mouth, trying to lead the topic to the name that always touched their nerves.
"Wait for me, you are running so fast, are you going to participate in a sprint competition, or are you in a hurry to meet up with Xu Xiufang and the others? To be honest, I heard that they don't like us privately, and their words are full of disdain for us."
Zhou Xiaoyue's words carried a hint of deliberately created intimacy, trying to mend the rifts in the team again.
"us?"
There was a hint of subtlety in Guo Yunxin's voice, and her eyes penetrated the surface of the words, exploring the real intention behind them.
"Yes, we, that's the three of us, Zhou Xiaoyue, Guo Yunxin, and Chen Lu."
Zhou Xiaoyue emphasized the bond between them, trying to rekindle old friendship.
Chen Lu and Guo Yunxin looked at each other and smiled. That smile showed helplessness towards Zhou Xiaoyue repeating the same old trick, but also a deep understanding between them.
Memories of the last semester came flooding back. They remembered that Zhou Xiaoyue had whispered in their ears many times, telling them how Xu Xiufang disliked them.
At first, they may have been shaken, but as time went on, especially through direct contact with Xu Xiufang and Yang Xue, they found that the rumors were far from the facts.
Although Xu Xiufang maintains a lukewarm distance, she never gets involved in disputes. Her indifference actually inspires respect for her.
Faced with Zhou Xiaoyue's provocation again, they chose to tolerate it in silence.
After all, friendship between classmates is not easy, and there is no need to tear each other apart over these trivial matters.
They just smiled faintly and brushed it off with a simple "we're going to be late", but their pace obviously quickened, leaving Zhou Xiaoyue's words behind.
Zhou Xiaoyue followed behind, feeling mixed emotions. As she walked, she was thinking about other things in her mind. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: "Why does Xu Xiufang's boyfriend give me an inexplicable sense of familiarity? It seems like I've seen him somewhere..."
Chen Lu and Guo Yunxin ignored Zhou Xiaoyue's mumblings. They just hurriedly said "we're going to be late" and quickened their pace, leaving Zhou Xiaoyue with a receding back view.
In the afternoon, the sun shone gently on the way home. Xu Xiufang was with Xiaoyun, her heart full of joy.
The teacher's praise was like a spring breeze, nourishing the hearts of the mother and daughter.
Xiaoyun's smiling face is as bright as the most beautiful flower in spring, pure and innocent. Her happiness is so simple, just because she is recognized and praised.
"We also did handicrafts in kindergarten, look, mom!"
Xiaoyun's excitement was beyond words. Her little hands pulled out one "masterpiece" after another from the small bag bought by her father, as if by magic.
And in that heartwarming exchange, Erbao's unintentional interludes added a bit of interest to this daily routine.
His small figure, with a bit of childish seriousness, was educating his sister in a serious manner, and the scene was so hilarious that people could not help laughing.
Xiaoyun's innocence and Erbao's kindness as a teacher form a warm family picture. Looking at all this, Xu Xiufang's heart is filled with relief and happiness, and at the same time, she is also proud of her children's growth.
At home in the evening, Erbao's "teaching" was still going on. Although his tone seemed professional, the words that were beyond Xiaoyun's understanding made Xiaoyun look confused but curious.
In the kitchen, Xu Xiufang was busy. Occasionally, she looked up and saw the two figures, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
But when she walked into the room again, the scene before her made her stunned - Erbao's concentration and Xiaoyun's diligence formed a completely different scene.
At that moment, the warmth and love of home flowed quietly in this small space.
"time to eat."
Xu Xiufang's words broke the tranquility, but also pushed the warmth of the family to a new climax. The family's life continued to move forward, sweet in its ordinariness.
Before any words could form on her lips, Little Treasure rushed into the room along with his eldest brother's laughter.
Xiao Bao's footsteps were brisk. He obviously hadn't caught the fleeting discussion about him in the air. He just happened to catch the echo of his own name. His young face was instantly filled with doubts: "Brothers, were you talking about me just now?"
The words were full of children's curiosity and expectation.
