YM778.TV Chapter 219 Disappeared again!
“What were you trying to do there?” Gu Shangyan asked, rather angrily when he recalled why he met her in the first place. He couldn’t know what she was even thinking of going to the bushes there.
“I was chasing a firefly, “Yoona said. She looked back into the bush which wasn’t flickering now. It might be because the garden was completely lit and the firefly had flown away.
She was really angry at this rude boy who snatched the opportunity from her to see the live firefly. She had never seen a firefly and he took the chance from her.
“Firefly?” Gu Shangyan snorted. “Mind telling me where you saw it?”
This girl… how would there be a firefly on this side of the city? The Lu family always did a pesticide or whatever it was called to keep the insects away. Plus, it wasn’t possible to see fireflies in this part of the city. It was just impossible
“There, “Yoona pointed at the bush. “Before I could see it, you pulled me.” Her face was coloured in hues of red when she recalled the ambiguous position they were caught in initially. “You scared the firefly away.”
Gu Shangyan rubbed his head in exasperation. He grabbed her hand and showed her the flicker in the bushes. “Look carefully, does it look like a firefly to you?”
Yoona’s eyes widened as she realised what it was. The thing that looked like a firefly from afar was a flicker produced by the naked wire. “Thankfully, she didn’t touch or…”.
“I didn’t know….”Before she could say anything, he began speaking.
“Next time, don’t go chasing fireflies in the garden in a city that is full of blinding lights and pollution, “Gu Shangyan told her. “I think Lu Xun is smarter than you.”
He left her there and walked out of there in exasperation. He was so angry and frustrated that he couldn’t talk straight. He was in the middle of the way when he realised what he did. He groaned as realization hit him that he scolded her again instead of apologizing to her.
Should he return to say sorry to her?
What if she scolded him back?
It’s fine. He should say sorry for his rude words.
When he turned back to say sorry to her. She was gone from here.
Huh…
Was she a girl or a ghost? Why did she disappear each time he wanted to say sorry to her?
In defeat, he came back to the party. He saw Lu Xuan there standing with his family while the birthday boy was cutting the cake. Once the cake was cut and the guests had dinner, he returned home with his Uncle and Aunt to prepare for his competition.
An Xiulan and Lu Xuan would be staying the night with their father’s family.
“Why do you look so distressed, son?” Gu Yanxi asked the nephew who was sighing too much.
“I saw the girl again, “Gu Shangyan asked.
“Really?” An Qinyan looked interested. “Did you say sorry to her?”
“I ended up scolding her again, “Gu Shangyan said in a low voice.
Gu Yanxi and An Qinyan sighed as if they hadn’t expected anything else from him.
“You are really your uncle’s nephew, “An Qinyan rolled her eyes.
On the other side …
“Yunyun, I prepared a room for you, “Song Yifei said as she kissed her beloved niece’s forehead. “Stay the night here. I sent my brother and sister-in-law back. You haven’t stayed with Aunt for a long time. Even Lily and Xiulan are staying here.”
“Okay, “Song Xueyun agreed. She hugged her aunt. She was quite close to this Aunt who was like a friend to her.
“Tell, Aunt, what’s worrying you?” Song Yifei as she wiped the hair from Song Xueyun’s face.
“Nothing special, just teenage problems, you know, “Song Xueyun said with a smile.
“Did you prepare a room for Lily?” The Old Madam asked.
“Yes, “Song Yifei said.
“Auntie, can I stay in the same room I spend my summer vacations in?” Lily asked with a soft smile. “I’m quite used to that room.”
Before Song Yifei could say that the room was taken by Song Xueyun, the old Madam said, “Of course, child you can. This is your house after all.”
“Thank you, grandma, “Lily smiled at the old woman with a bright smile.
“Auntie, “An Xiulan came running holding the TV remote and Lu Xuan was running after her.
“Teeny, give me my Remote back!” Lu Xuan roared.
An Xiulan stood behind her stepmother and said, “You can’t have the remote all the time.” When she saw Song Xueyun was still there, she waved at her. “Xueyun, are you staying here?”
Song Xueyun nodded her head.
An Xiulan threw the remote at her brother and wrapped an arm around Song Xueyun’s shoulder. “Auntie, can I and Song Xueyun sleep in my room? My bed is too big. My Xueyun will be there to warm my cold bed.”
When she realised how bad her words sounded, she laughed in embarrassment.
“Silly, girl, “Song Yifei laughed. “She is your friend. You both can decide anything. I think you don’t like sharing anything with anyone.”
ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ “Oh no, Auntie, you have me all wrong figured out, “An Xiulan said in a duh tone. “With my family and friends, I can share anything. Plus, Xueyun is both family and friend, so she is double special to me.”
“Stop buttering me up, “Song Xueyun groaned. “You are making me shy.”
Behind them, Lily was dying in envy. When Song Xueyun and An Xiulan left, she approached Lu Xuan. In a sickly sweet voice, she said, “Cousin, will you help me with the new game? I installed it on my phone but I can’t seem to level up.”
These days Lu Xuan had been playing the same game. He couldn’t say no to her because she was a guest in their house and his grandmother liked her a lot.
“Alright, “Lu Xuan nodded his head. When he was showing her the technique of the game, his phone rang. He replied to some messages with a smile on his face. She got curious to see how could make him smile this bad. When he wasn’t noticing, she craned her neck to see the name of the person he was texting but she couldn’t find anything except for the red heart emoji in place of a name.
