The villain in Chu Rong’s heart had already punched Fu Ruhui several times. If he really threw her in the car after stopping the car, she would open her eyes and get out by herself, giving Fu Ruhui a good surprise and condemning him to his face.
What makes Chu Rong happy is that Fu Nian and Fu Yu are still her little angels. After hearing Fu Ruhui’s words, they questioned: “Dad, don’t we bring mom to play with us? Mom will be lonely sleeping in the car alone.”
Fu Ruhui said awkwardly: “But mom is resting.”
Chu Rong opened her eyes at the right time and said without any acting skills: “Oh! I’m awake. What are you talking about?”
Fu Yu easily believed Chu Rong’s superb acting skills. He clapped his hands and said, “Mom, you are awake. Dad said he wants to take us downstairs to play.”
”Really?” Chu Rong seemed to have just found out. “Where are we going to play?”
”Here!” Fu Yu happily tapped the car window. Outside was a colorful flower field with petals flying in the air. He could seem to smell the rich fragrance of flowers through the car window.
Fu Ruhui’s car was passing through the flower field and heading towards the entrance in front.
Chu Rong looked at the pink flower beds passing by outside the window and couldn’t help but sigh, “How beautiful.” Fu Ruhui knew about such a romantic place?
”Awake?” Fu Ruhui chuckled, “Why did you wake up by yourself?”
The implication is that you woke up without anyone calling you.
Chu Rong didn’t want to pay attention to this bastard. She pretended not to hear Fu Ruhui’s words, silently expressing that she was angry with him.
Fu Ruhui was not angry when being ignored by Chu Rong. He found a spot in the garden’s parking lot and parked the car. The flower field he had just seen along the way was an attraction in this “Lavender Garden”, which featured lavender, as well as large tracts of other flowers and plants that he couldn’t name. The ticket cost fifty yuan each, and one could go in to enjoy the flowers, take photos, and wander around the dozen acres of flower fields.
Fu Ruhui bought four tickets. Chu Rong saw him take out his mobile phone and transfer two hundred yuan. She felt a subtle sense of intimacy. It turned out that people like Fu Ruhui also spend two hundred yuan to buy things.
”Children’s tickets are half price, sir,” the ticket seller added with a smile.
So Fu Ruhui, who had not yet entered the payment password, calmly changed the amount to one hundred and fifty yuan.
Chu Rong: More intimate.
Putting away his phone leisurely, Fu Ruhui said, “Come in.”
Fu Yu jumped excitedly, pulled Fu Nian and ran in first.
Chu Rong and Fu Ruhui walked behind, and she couldn’t help but say, “I didn’t expect Mr. Fu to know about this kind of place.”
Going around the fence at the entrance, you will see a sea of purple lavender. When the breeze blows, the purple plants tilt and sway in the direction of the wind. The main plant here is lavender. The pink sea of flowers they saw in the car just now only accounts for a small part. They are nightshades and pink gerberas. The flowers planted by the owner of this garden are all very dreamy colors. You can feel the strong romantic atmosphere as soon as you enter.
Fu Ruhui asked: “This kind of place?”
He drooped his eyelashes and watched Chu Rong reach out and pluck the tips of the lavender, as if to test whether it was real. After finding out that it was real, she seemed shocked and quickly withdrew her hand.
The smile in Fu Ruhui’s eyes was about to burst out. He held Chu Rong’s hand and smiled softly, “Don’t touch it, there is dust on it.”
Chu Rong withdrew her hand awkwardly, “Oh.”
”What do you mean when you said you didn’t expect I knew about this kind of place?” Fu Ruhui held her hand in his palm like a piece of dough and kneaded it twice.
He rubbed her hands, not knowing what he was thinking. Chu Rong struggled twice but failed to break free, so she had to endure it. “You are so busy every day, do you still have time to come out for a walk?”
Fu Ruhui glanced at her and said, “Someone brought me here before.”
Chu Rong looked ahead, “Ah. Your friends?” They didn’t look like people who would come to the lavender garden.
Fu Ruhui just denied it, “No.” But he didn’t say anything else, as if he didn’t want to talk about it. Chu Rong immediately knew that it was probably his ex-wife who brought him here?
It’s really romantic.
Chu Rong thought a little sourly, is it appropriate to bring the current girlfriend to the place where he dated his ex?
Seeing that she was silent, Fu Ruhui lowered his head slightly to look into her eyes and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Chu Rong was not happy to be caught by Fu Ruhui. She pulled her hand free and caught up with the two little kids running happily in front of her. “I didn’t think much. These two little guys run so fast. I’ll go and take a look!”
Fu Ruhui’s hands were suddenly empty. He watched Chu Rong run over and catch the two chicks like an eagle. The two chicks were caught by her and giggled non-stop. Fu Ruhui watched them play for half a minute, laughing loudly, his eyes sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and walked over in two steps to grab Chu Rong and free the two chicks.
Chu Rong’s arm was held by Fu Ruhui, and Fu Yu’s laughter stopped abruptly. He looked up in confusion and found that it was his father who came.
Fu Nian breathed a sigh of relief. After being rubbed by Chu Rong just now, he couldn’t help laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.
Chu Rong was pinched on the shoulder and was very unhappy: “What are you doing?” She just found a sense of accomplishment in bullying the children and was having fun.
”Stop messing around.” Fu Ruhui brushed off some flower leaves that were stuck on Chu Rong’s body. “Are you thirsty? You just had a snack and didn’t drink much water. Now you’re playing like this, doesn’t your throat feel uncomfortable?”
He just heard Chu Rong laughing until her voice became a little hoarse, and she was still playing so heartlessly.
Before Chu Rong could speak, Fu Yu jumped up and said, “Dad, I want to drink juice!”
There were vending machines and small stalls in the garden. The small stalls sold freshly squeezed juice and ice cream. Fu Ruhui asked the mother and her two children for their opinions, and they all agreed to sit at the small stalls for a while.
Fu Yu ordered a glass of watermelon juice, Fu Nian drank grape ice, and Chu Rong, as an adult, had the privilege of ordering a banana boat ice cream and a strawberry milkshake at the same time.
Fu Ruhui paid them and only took a bottle of water for himself.
”Mom, can you give me some of your cherries?” Fu Yu took a sip of his own watermelon juice, and the sweetness went to his heart. He looked eagerly at the cherries dotted on Chu Rong’s banana boat ice cream, which were red, round, and looked plump and tempting.
Chu Rong said generously: “Of course you can, but the cherries are out of season, so they might be a little sour.”
Fu Yu said: “I’m not afraid.”
So Chu Rong fed him one.
”Oh.” Fu Yu chewed it twice, and his chubby face suddenly wrinkled into a ball, like a small walnut. “It’s really sour, Mom.” His voice was still shaking from the sourness, “I have never eaten such sour cherries.”
Chu Rong tasted one herself and found it so sour that she couldn’t help but spit it out along with the flesh and the core.
Fu Ruhui came over after paying the bill, looked at Chu Rong sitting with two iced drinks, and warned: “Be careful of stomach discomfort if you eat too much cold food.”
Chu Rong bit the spoon and rolled her eyes, “But I’ve already bought it, I can’t waste it.”
She was finally willing to speak to him in a nice tone. Fu Ru was secretly happy. He sat down next to Chu Rong and said, “Then take it back and put it there.”
Chu Rong smiled maliciously, holding a cherry with his fingers and passing it to Fu Ruhui’s mouth, “Why don’t you help me eat a little, it won’t be much for two people.”
Fu Ruhui obviously didn’t expect Chu Rong to feed him. His hand that was twisting the bottle cap paused. Seeing that Chu Rong was smiling wickedly, Fu Ruhui still bent his lips and lowered his head, and took the cherry that Chu Rong fed him into his mouth.
Chu Rong’s evil plan succeeded, and she asked him proudly, “Is it delicious?”
Fu Nian and Fu Yu watched Chu Rong trick their father with the sour cherry, but they chose to remain silent, especially Fu Yu. The moment he saw Fu Ruhui bite the cherry, he shuddered with empathy.
Even though he realized how sour the cherry was, Fu Yu did not remind Fu Ruhui. Between his mother and father, Fu Yu chose to support his mother’s bad idea.
How could Fu Ruhui not know what Chu Rong was thinking? Chu Rong’s face couldn’t hide anything, and he could tell what she was thinking at a glance. He was just playing along with Chu Rong. She was a little unhappy to begin with, and Fu Ruhui was willing to do something to make her happy.
”Hiss.” Fu Ruhui couldn’t tolerate sourness very well, and this gasp from the sourness was not fake. He was really startled by the unexpected sourness.
Chu Rong laughed, “Hey, Mr. Fu, what’s the matter? Is it not delicious?”
Fu Yu felt a little guilty for not reminding his father, “Dad, is it very sour?”
Fu Ruhui took a sip of water and rinsed his mouth, then smiled and said, “It’s not sour.”
Chu Rong laughed too wildly, and she felt more accomplished teasing Fu Ruhui than bullying a child. Fu Nian saw her staggering and reached out to support Chu Rong.
”So happy?” Fu Ruhui reached out and held Chu Rong’s shoulders, “Don’t fall.”
Chu Rong continued to laugh.
”The ice cream will melt in a while.” Fu Ruhui said again.
Chu Rong immediately stopped laughing and scooped the ice cream with a spoon. After eating half of it, Fu Ruhui said, “Didn’t you say you would give me half?”
Chu Rong didn’t want to separate and pretended not to hear.
Fu Ruhui did not continue to persuade her. He quietly waited for Chu Rong to finish a large banana boat ice cream, then confiscated her strawberry milkshake and said, “Drink it when you get home.”
“It’s too much of a hindrance to hold it in your hand.” Chu Rong argued, “If we take pictures later or something, it won’t look good holding a cup in your hand.”
”I’ll hold it for you.” Fu Ruhui said considerately.
Chu Rong had no choice but to give up the milkshake, as she really couldn’t drink it anymore.
There was a bit of an indescribable atmosphere between her and Fu Ruhui just now. Chu Rong didn’t want to pay attention to Fu Ruhui, and Fu Ruhui didn’t know what to say. Now that they had something to eat, Chu Rong felt happy, and Fu Ruhui also breathed a sigh of relief.
The garden was so big that the endless lavender field in the middle was enough for Chu Rong and her sons to spend a long time wandering around. Chu Rong, Fu Nian and Fu Yu lined up in a row and walked through a path that had been cleared in the middle of the flower field.
Because they wanted to walk to the middle so that Fu Ruhui could take a picture of them, Fu Ruhui did not follow them and stood on the avenue outside waiting.
When the mother and her two sons finally reached the right position, they looked up but could not see Fu Ruhui anymore.
”Did we go the wrong way?” Chu Rong looked around, but really didn’t see Fu Ruhui.
Fu Yu was not as tall as Lavender even when he stood on tiptoe. He tried to jump, “Mom, I can’t see. This flower is really too tall.”
Fu Nian couldn’t see it either, he agreed: “It’s so high.”
Chu Rong was puzzled, “I wonder where your father went. Didn’t he find the place I pointed out to him?”
”What should we do?” Fu Yu pulled Chu Rong’s finger, “Dad is missing.”
Chu Rong waved her hand and said, “Then let’s shoot it ourselves. Dad can’t find the place by himself.”
Fu Nian pulled Chu Rong and reminded him, “You forgot that you gave your phone to Dad.”
”Yes.” Chu Rong was annoyed. She had given her phone to Fu Ruhui just now because she was afraid that his phone didn’t have a beauty filter. Now that Fu Ruhui was not there, they could only wait for Fu Ruhui to find the place by himself. Otherwise, they would have to go back the same way. However, seeing that the road was so long and half a path, Chu Rong didn’t want to go back and forth. “What do you think, is Dad a fool?”
She spoke bad about Fu Ruhui in front of Fu Nian and Fu Yu in frustration, “He doesn’t even know the way.” He only needed to turn twice to find the other side of the middle of the path. Could it be that Fu Ruhui was a person with a poor sense of direction?
Fu Yu echoed, “Dad is a little fool.”
Fu Nian covered Fu Yu’s mouth and said, “You are rude.”
Chu Rong burst into laughter, and her depressed mood dissipated a little, “Dad is a little fool, then isn’t Xiaoyu a little fool?”
Fu Yu opened his eyes wide, “I’m not stupid.”
Because his mouth was covered by his brother, Fu Yu’s words turned into a series of whimpers. Fu Nian quickly let go of his hand and asked, “Then should we wait for Dad here?”
Chu Rong nodded, “We can only wait for him.”
The three of them were now like stone statues in a flower field, standing in the center without moving an inch.
Chu Rong thought, it was a good thing that there weren’t many people playing here, otherwise they would be too much of a nuisance standing in the way.
Just as I was thinking this, someone suddenly came up from behind and said in a gentle voice, “Excuse me, thank you.”
Chu Rong quickly shrank back, trying to make some space. However, this path was only big enough for one person to pass in order not to take up too much grass. No matter how much she shrank back, she couldn’t make room for someone to pass through.
The person behind her also smiled helplessly, “It seems there is no way to pass.”
Chu Rong smiled awkwardly, “Then I’ll walk forward a little further.”
”Hey, it’s you?” The speaker suddenly said in surprise, “Do you remember me?”
Hmm? Chu Rong then turned her eyes to the person who was speaking. Just now, because she was embarrassed, she had kept her head down and didn’t look at the person. When he suddenly said this, Chu Rong thought he was an acquaintance, but when she saw his appearance, Chu Rong found that she had no impression of him. Did he recognize the wrong person?
He was wearing an inappropriate white long-sleeved shirt, and there was no trace of sweat on his head in such a hot day. His fair face was definitely handsome, with a straight nose and thin lips. He looked like an intellectual.
This face was not common, so Chu Rong was sure that she had never seen it before.
But the expression on this person’s face was very vivid, and his determined eyes seemed to show that he really knew her.
Chu Rong couldn’t help but doubt herself, so he looked at the man again and took a closer look, and realized that she really didn’t know him.
Fu Nian looked up and was a little surprised: “Teacher Fu.”
The young man in the white shirt was indeed an intellectual. When Teacher Fu saw Fu Nian holding Chu Rong’s hand, he suddenly realized: “So you are Fu Nian’s parent? You left before I had time to ask you last time. By the way, is your head swollen after you went back?”
Chu Rong immediately remembered this person’s identity. The last time she sent Fu Nian to school, she secretly eavesdropped for a while at the back of the classroom. She turned around and bumped into someone, causing her head to buzz. She burst into tears that day and didn’t even see what the man looked like.
”It’s you.” Although she didn’t know what he looked like, Chu Rong was very impressed by his iron brain, to the extent that she would feel scared when she saw him now, “Is your last name Fu too?”
Teacher Fu smiled and said, “Yes. It’s a coincidence. Are you Fu Nian’s…?”
”Uh, Mom.”
Teacher Fu was surprised. “Is that so? You look younger than me. I thought you were Fu Nian’s sister.”
Chu Rong laughed dryly, “No, no.”
Looking at Teacher Fu who was chatting with Chu Rong, Fu Nian couldn’t help but help him recall: “Teacher, didn’t you say last time that you didn’t see my mother?” He went out to see after hearing the noise, and saw Teacher Fu standing at the door. From the conversation just now, Fu Nian could tell that Chu Rong and Teacher Fu had met, but Teacher Fu denied it last time.
Teacher Fu was surprised and said, “Really? I forgot about it myself. Maybe I was a little distracted at the time. I’m sorry, Fu Nian.”
Fu Nian didn’t know what to say. He looked at Chu Rong, shook her arm, and said innocently, “Mom, let’s go find Dad.”
“Oh, okay.” Standing here all the time was not a good idea. They really had to find Fu Ruhui first. Otherwise, the three of them didn’t even have a cell phone, and she didn’t remember Fu Ruhui’s phone number, so it would be troublesome if they couldn’t get in touch with him.
Teacher Fu said, “Are you leaving? I wanted to ask if your head is injured.”
Chu Rong smiled bitterly and said, “Teacher Fu, your head is really powerful. It was swollen for almost a week after I went back last time.” She didn’t want to tell this to Teacher Fu, but she felt that his impact was too strong, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn’t confide in him.
Teacher Fu showed an expression of ‘as expected’. He frowned and said, “I’m really sorry. I’ll pay for your medical expenses. I wanted to leave your contact information in advance last time, but you left in such a hurry.”
”No, no.” Chu Rong didn’t say this just for the medical expenses. “I just think your physique is indeed very special. If it is applied to other fields, it would be very valuable for research.” Chu Rong felt that such a hard head could be used to block bullets.
Teacher Fu grinned, “Thank you for the compliment. Even if you don’t want to accept compensation, please leave your contact information, so I can tell you if Fu Nian is doing well at school.”
This point is quite pertinent. Chu Rong thought it was okay, but she didn’t have her phone with her. She could only spread her hands and said, “Sorry, Mr. Fu, I didn’t bring my phone.”
”You didn’t bring it?” Teacher Fu hesitated, “Then…”
”Mom, you brought it.” Fu Yu said anxiously, “I left the phone with Dad. It’s not that I didn’t bring it.”
Chu Rong nodded helplessly, “Yes, sorry, my phone is with my husband.”
Teacher Fu blinked, as if he was a little unconvinced: “Oh, so that’s it. Then do you remember your phone number?”
Chu Rong smiled and shook her head: “I don’t remember.” She hasn’t used her new phone much yet.
Teacher Fu laughed, “Okay. I’ll add you next time I have the chance. If we meet again next time, I hope you can remember your number.”
”Um.”
”What’s your name?”
”Chu, my name is Chu Rong.”
Teacher Fu smiled and said, “Miss Chu.”
Chu Rong did not ask Teacher Fu’s name. She was a little in awe of the profession of teacher and always felt embarrassed to ask his name. Besides, she was not interested in Teacher Fu’s name. If he didn’t tell her, she wouldn’t ask.
”Then Mr. Fu, you can continue. The children and I will leave first.”
Fu Nian bowed his head politely, “Goodbye, Teacher Fu.”
Fu Yu followed his brother and bowed, “Goodbye, teacher.”
Teacher Fu smiled and said, “Goodbye.”
Chu Rong and the other two walked away until they could no longer be seen on the path. Teacher Fu suddenly took off his gold-rimmed glasses and threw them to the ground, knocking the lenses out of the frame.
”Oh shit.”
He cursed loudly.
