Chapter 2 Decision

When he came to the old man's bedroom, Yue Fan looked at the same furnishings as before, curled his mouth, and seemed to be overflowing with satisfaction, "Grandma, wait a minute, I'll make the bed."

Seeing Yuefan was busy making the bed, the old man thought about the past, felt a little emotional in his heart, and said to himself: "The evening you left, I cooked at home and waited for you to come back, but I can wait for you I still didn’t come back. I was afraid that something might happen to you and wanted to go out to have a look. But I saw you at that time and said that your father came back and wanted to take you away. On a good day, grandma's heart is relieved.

"At the beginning you left in a hurry and didn't say goodbye to me, and grandma didn't know if you would come back. I regretted not being able to take a good look at you in the morning...Grandma didn't expect to see you again in her lifetime. Thank goodness."

Yue Fan sniffled, trying not to cry, she didn't know how to make up for the two years she left?She wondered if grandma felt a little bit of resentment towards her in her heart?Blame her for leaving without saying goodbye.

"Grandma, don't think about it. The bed is made, you rest first, and I will wake you up later." Yue Fan greeted, concealing his disappointment.

"Okay, okay, go out and greet them. They have been taking care of me for the past three years. You should thank them! You have worked hard on that child."

"Got it, grandma, you sleep."

After taking care of the old man and going to sleep, Yue Fan tiptoedly closed the door, and as soon as he came out, he saw only one person left in the yard, and asked softly, "How deep is it?"

"Oh! Auntie went out to buy ingredients, and said that she would 'clean up the dust' for you later."

"Then what's the trouble? I'll just go to the kitchen and make two random dishes. Besides, can she get it here by herself?"

"It's not like you don't know that girl! As soon as you get excited, your donkey's temper will come up, and you will say that the wind is the rain."

Yue Fan nodded, indeed!Yue Fan raised his eyelids, glanced at Yu Jian secretly, but couldn't get the words out of his mouth, after some psychological struggle, Yue Fan took a deep breath before speaking: "Yu Jian!"

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

Yu Jian was taken aback for a moment, and replied stupidly: "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for helping me take care of my grandma during the two years I was away. Thank you for helping me hide the truth. Thank you and Shen Shen for never leaving me..." The setting sun dragged the girl's long shadow, and the clear voice echoed in the That courtyard seemed extraordinarily lonely.

Yue Fan's cheeks were stained red, and she looked at Yu Jian sincerely.

Yu Jian saw the firmness and sincerity in Yue Fan's eyes, and his heart moved slightly, "Oh! Why are you saying such provocative words? You can't thank me. Really! You are really changing in the direction of Aunt Yan now!"

Yu Jian pretended to be so-called, stretched out his hand to hook Yue Fan, and whispered in her ear: "What you said...is over."

She knew that Yue Fan was the least expressive among the three of them, and also the one who didn't like to reveal her feelings the least.Now that Yue Fan said these words to her, they naturally came from the bottom of Yue Fan's heart, and these were too heavy for Yu Jian, so she could only avoid them.

The two stayed in the courtyard in embarrassment for a long time before they heard Yan Shen shouting outside the door: "You two hurry up and help me, it's too heavy and I can't lift it."

Yue Fan and Yu Jian hurried out of the courtyard, and were shocked by what Yan Shen Shen was carrying.

"Auntie, I'm not talking about you, this is too much, we can't eat it." Yu Jian was quite speechless.

Yue Fan took the heavy object in Yan Shenshen's hand with a smile, "You can put it in the refrigerator and eat slowly."

Yan Shen Shen breathed a sigh of relief when his hands were freed, pouted and hammered his sore arm, "You don't feel sorry for others like Yue Fan."

Yu Jian raised his eyebrows, "It's too late!"

Yue Fan shook his head and hurriedly withdrew from the "battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke", carrying two big bags of ingredients into the kitchen.

It's one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and it's not time to make dinner.After she placed the ingredients, she prepared to boil some hot water to take a bath, to get rid of bad luck.

Yu Jian and Yan Shenshen are still excited because of her release from prison, playing and fighting, they don't look like girls who are about to turn [-] at all.

"Don't make trouble, grandma is sleeping! Keep your voice down." Yu Jian avoided Yan Shenshen's hand that wanted to do evil on her waist, and ran away briskly.Yan Shenshen was about to chase after the phone but it rang, so he had to answer it.

Yu Jian flashed into the kitchen.

"Will you take a bath?" Yu Jian felt distressed seeing Yue Fan squatting beside the stove adding firewood, "Go wash at my house! It's too inconvenient here."

The house is very old, so of course there is no bathroom, so we can only take a shower in a small room, and the weather is quite hot now, so it is stuffy to take a shower with the doors and windows closed.

Yue Fan added another handful of straw, her face was reddened by the scorching fire, she shook her head, "It's not troublesome, I used to wash it like this, and now I also wash it like this, it doesn't make any difference."

Yu Jian pursed his lips and said nothing. This is a small county town. Although it is not as prosperous as outside, it is not too bad.Her family lived in the community two years ago, and Yue Fan could only spend time in prison.

After Yue Fan came out, he still had to live in such a dilapidated old house, no matter how he thought about it, his heart ached.Most of the money Xue Feng gave was used for the treatment of grandma, and the rest of the money won't last for a few years. What will I do then?

Yu Jian glanced worriedly at Yue Fan who was squatting, this girl always looked calm, as if no matter how big things could bother her.

Yue Fan wiped the sweat off his brow, "Stand aside, it's a bit hot."

Yu Jian didn't move, just asked: "What are you going to do when you come out?"

Yue Fan didn't react too much, she was silent for a while, "My birthday just passed, I'm really old, I definitely can't go to high school, and I don't have skills to make money, so I can only take one step at a time."

Yu Jianwenyan interrupted her in a hurry, "Why can't you go to high school? You are so smart, if you put in more effort, you might be able to skip a grade and go to the third year of high school."

Yue Fan has a good brain and is very smart.They were both of the same age. When she and Yan Shenshen were 16 years old, they were in the first year of high school, and Yue Fan was already in the second year of high school.If she hadn't been imprisoned for that incident, she reckoned that Yue Fan would be able to take the college entrance examination in his sophomore year if he worked hard.

Yue Fan didn't say a word, she didn't want to go to school, the main reason was that what happened back then, how could she have the face to go back?I'm afraid that the school would not agree to accept a student like her with a criminal record.

Seeing that she was silent, Yu Jian knew what she was worried about, "Don't worry, you forgot what my dad does!" She winked at Yue Fan slyly.

Yue Fan was startled, that's right, Yu Jian's father Yu Qicheng is the vice principal of No. [-] Middle School.She has met that man, and she loves Yu Jian very much. If Yu Jian intercedes for her, she should be able to go back to study.

It's just that she couldn't pass the test in her heart. Although two years have passed, someone must remember her. She really...

"But I'm afraid..." Yue Fan lowered his eyes, hiding the gloom in his eyes.

Yu Jian was taken aback, "What are you afraid of?" It was only after she finished speaking that she realized that Yue Fan was such a good-looking girl before, and the school had high hopes for her, but because of Xue Qi, she became a prisoner who accidentally hurt others. , which was enough to make her ashamed.

Yue Fan has been without parents since she was eight years old, and it is precisely because of this that she has trained herself to be so independent and so strong to support the family where there are only her and her grandmother.

Her self-esteem is also very strong, enough to make her live proudly, even if she has no money or status, she is still very confident, because those are innate.

"Just because of your self-esteem, can you ruin your future? Grandma is waiting for you to give her a better life, so you have to go back to study." Yu Jian frowned and said forcefully.

Yan Shenshen also entered the kitchen after making the phone call. He was very happy at first, but when he came in, he heard Yu Jian's serious tone, thinking that something happened, he stopped laughing in fright, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Yue Fan was as calm as water, looking at the dancing flames in front of him.Yu Jian didn't say anything more, just waiting for a response.Seeing the tense atmosphere, Yan Shen didn't dare to speak out.The three of them did not speak, and the only sound in the small kitchen was the crackling of burning straw.

After a while, Yue Fan said slowly: "Okay." A simple word resounded loudly.

Yu Jianwenyan was relieved immediately, showing a gratified smile, "I knew you wouldn't give up so easily."

Yue Fan glanced at Yu Jian tenderly, feeling a little throbbing in his heart, no matter when there was such a girl by his side supporting her, how could he not be moved?Her face was a little red, but fortunately she was already red enough from the fire, so she couldn't see anything.

She likes girls, not the kind of friends, but wants to be with others.She knew her sexuality since she was a child, but she never dared to reveal it because she felt panicked, and she was even more afraid that her friends would hate her because of it.

She doesn't like all the girls that much, but Yu Jian, she...

Yan Shenshen saw that the two of them laughed and knew that it was all right, so they came together again, dissatisfied: "You two are talking all day long, and you don't talk to me about things, don't you think I'm a friend!"

Yu Jian turned around and twisted her face, "Stop pretending, what do you want us to do with your boyfriend?"

Yue Fan's eyes lit up, "Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

Yan Shenshen's face flushed immediately, and he repeatedly denied it.

Yu Jian was complacent: "You can pull it off! Without a boyfriend, I call more frequently than anyone else."

Yan was deeply ashamed, and twisted Yu Jian's waist, "You are the one who talks too much. Don't change the subject, what did you just say?" Yu Jian exclaimed when he was pinched.

Yue Fan shook his head, feeling very helpless towards the two of them, "Yu Jian and I are discussing about going back to study."

Yan Shenshen's eyes lit up when he heard that, "Really? Then the three of us can study together again?"

Yu Jian was also very happy from the bottom of his heart, and said cheerfully: "It must be, our Three Musketeers have gathered together again!"

"Yes! It's ready!"

Yue Fan looked at the two of them, feeling a little helpless.In fact, she is the youngest of the three, but she is the most mature one. Watching Yu Jian and Shen Shen frolicking, she feels like she is watching a child, which is very interesting.

She likes Yu Jian and she will never say anything about it. With the two of them as friends, she is not afraid of being alone all her life.Yue Fan secretly made up his mind.
