Chapter 36
Although she implied in her heart that she could not be angry, she would be the reincarnation of the smiling Maitreya Buddha with Buddha's aura all over her body if she could still be calm and smiling when she encountered such a thing.
For a few seconds, Diana Swift also wanted to slap her mobile phone on Josh Hunter's face and show him how his amazing ex-girlfriend acted like a bitch.
But her remaining reason told her that since Josh Hunter had said that he wouldn't miss the past, she shouldn't be angry with him for no reason.
Maybe Mandy Lee was sure that she would quarrel with Josh Hunter with her grumpy temper, so she deliberately made such a move to alienate her husband and her, and now she could be waiting to see her drama.
Yes, that's right. That's it.
Diana Swift thought, "I can't be tricked. I absolutely cannot be tricked!"
-"But I'm really angry!!!
Diana Swift picked up the cushion, smothered her head for a while, and then thumped away Josh Hunter, put down her legs and sat up straight. She was so angry and she was hesitating to lose her temper and question Josh Hunter.
Diana Swift was always straightforward, but once encountered her deadly rival Mandy Lee, she always had a lot of nagging feelings that couldn't be directly said out.
It's not time for primary school to finish school, but all the small shops in the neighborhood had opened, and the vendors were pushing their carts and coming out one after another.
"Wait, stop the car." Diana Swift suddenly shouted, looking at the stall outside and said, "I'm hungry."
The driver was smart and immediately answered, "Madam, what do you want to eat? I'll go down and buy it."
Diana Swift: "No, I'll go by myself."
As soon as she got out of the car, Diana Swift went straight to the fried stall and asked for a chicken fillet.
Fried stalls and stationery stores had been a standard part of off-campus life in all schools since her early age. Except for the soaring price and the QR code posted on the cart, everything was familiar in memory.
The vendor moved nimbly, and put some chicken fillets on the scale from the iron plate. Seeing there're more clips, he picked up two pieces from the small scale, shook them gently, and threw them back to the iron plate.
This series of skillful and defiant operations seemed to tell Diana Swift - give up, my stall couldn't pay with beauty.
In fact, Diana Swift began to strictly control her diet from the second year of high school. When she was a child, she loved junk food as much as her peers, such as Sprite, Coke, potato chips and spicy strips, fried barbecue, all of which were her favorites
.
When she was in junior high school, she took advantage of her youth and good metabolism and often went to eat supper with her friends.
But in the summer vacation after the end of the first year of senior high school, the class organized the last gathering before the division of classes and she ate a lot of oily and spicy food mixed with beer. As a result, her stomach hurt so much when she got home and she ran to the toilet all the time. Finally, she was diagnosed as having acute gastroenteritis by a family doctor, and she stayed at home for three days.
At that time, her aunt was distressed while lecturing, and her cousins also chattered around her. She was afraid of being chanted by this group of monks, so she had to hold up four fingers and swear, "I will never eat junk food again, or I will marry an ugly monster!"
Her little cousin was sharp-eyed and serious, and he pressed back one of her fingers and made her swear again.
Diana Swift felt guilty and weakly vowed again. Then she just got a temporary peace. But when she was left alone in the room, she felt a little too quiet, and her stomach pain became more and more obvious.
She curled up in bed, tearfully rubbing her belly. Thinking of the girls in her class saying "Mandy Lee really dates with Josh Hunter" and "what a lucky life" at the party, she tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep.
In her memory, that should be the most difficult night of her life so far.
When she swore that she didn't take her oath seriously, but after that night, she had a deep lingering shadow over gastroenteritis. When she saw junk food, she was terrified, and she really kept her promise and did not eat junk food again.

The chicken tenders wrapped in breadcrumbs in the frying pan tumbled out with golden oil. Diana Swift's thoughts returned and she poked the glass cabinet again, "Add a ham sausage."
She did not know when Josh Hunter had come over as well.
He looked at Diana Swift, and did not see any particularly strong desire for fried food in her eyes.
The food was quickly fried. Diana Swift held the chicken fillet, and handed the ham sausage to Josh Hunter, "Take it for me."
Josh Hunter didn't take it for a long time.
She didn't know what's wrong with her. Suddenly, she put the ham sausage in front of his face, and even sourly challenged, "Didn't you help your girlfriend get snacks when you were studying?"
Josh Hunter finally took the bamboo stick from her hand, and thought about it by the way, "No."
"..."
She didn't believe it.
If he hadn't helped her with snacks, then what the hell Mandy Lee was recalling?
Diana Swift walked sullenly to a beef noodle shop, but Josh Hunter reminded her from behind, "The one in front tastes better."
"How do you know?"
Josh Hunter's voice was flat. "I used to study here."
..?
Diana Swift froze for two seconds and turned to look at the elementary school across the road.
Sunshine Primary School.
The red paint of the school's name was mottled. Like the old security booth, it seemed that it had not been renovated for many years. The road inside the school was covered by lush trees on both sides, and the inside couldn't be seen clearly. One could only vaguely see the brick red teaching building in the distance.
Josh Hunter used to study here when he was in X City?
Somehow, she felt that the small street, which originally looked ordinary, suddenly had a familiar smell of old times, which made her inexplicably want to know more about it.
-----
Diana Swift was still looking around carefully until she followed Josh Hunter into the noodle store. She could hardly imagine that Josh Hunter had lived here for a long time as a child.
Josh Hunter thought that her princess syndrome made her unable to accept the simple environment, so he spread two paper towels on the plastic stool. It's not expected that Diana Swift didn't see it at all. After measuring the store, she pulled out a small plastic stool and sat down.
The boss looked Josh Hunter up and down, and his eyes seemed to be saying, " It's absurd that a big man is more exquisite than this beautiful girl".
Josh Hunter remained impassive, sat down and ordered directly. "Two bowls of beef powder, slightly spicy."
Diana Swift corrected, "I don't want beef, I want three-flavored."
"OK." The boss responded readily.
At the moment, the primary school students hadn't finished school yet, and the boss quickly cooked the noodle for them.
The boss was a sincere person, the difference in treatment was very obvious. In Josh Hunter's bowl, there was a normal portion, but in Diana Swift's bowl, the three-flavored ingredients were piled up into a small mountain.
Unfortunately, Diana Swift's little bird stomach was destined to fail the boss's intention of increasing the quantity without increasing the price. She had been controlling her diet for a long time, and her physiology and psychology had become habitual. After eating a few chicken tenders, the calorie figures were racing through her mind.
She couldn't eat at the moment, so she just stirred her chopsticks in the bowl.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was too quiet, she stirred and asked Josh Hunter: "You often came to this store to eat when you were in elementary school?"
Josh Hunter added some chili to the bowl, "Not often, I usually went home to eat."
When it came to going home, Diana Swift couldn't help but think of Olive George and Sherry George. After meeting once, Josh Hunter seemed to have never contacted them again. Was he going to leave them alone?
Diana Swift held her chin and said casually, "I saw the Moments. Sherry George seemed to have started school."
Josh Hunter looked up and suddenly asked, "Do you want to ask if Toby Hunter came back?"
"..."
"I didn't."
Diana Swift subconsciously denied it, but she still felt confused.
Thank God. Now she's as tired as a dog every day. How could she have time to think of Toby Hunter?
She didn't know whether Toby Hunter believed it or not, but he didn't answer her anyway.
Diana Swift recovered from confusion and felt that he suddenly turned the topic to Toby Hunter because he didn't want to talk about his family issue, so she didn't force him to talk about it again.
After all, it had little to do with her, and she knew she didn't have the ability to act as a mediator to repair the messy affection of her husband's home.
The next second, she remembered something that had a big relationship with her.
Mandy Lee really missed their love affair in her interview. How rare could it be as they had been in love for only three months? She had never met other men? He's such a cold and hard smelly stone and only Mandy Lee treated him as a treasure!
The thought of this made her feel sick, and she was crazy to do something bad.
Suddenly, she picked up the vinegar bottle and added almost a half bottle of vinegar to Josh Hunter's bowl. She stared at his bowl and said devoutly, "I think it's better to add some vinegar."
Josh Hunter didn't say much, and only changed the position of their bowls.
------
The sun was already setting when they came out of the noodle store, and the elementary school students across the street were out of school, either stretching their necks in search of parents or standing in line to get on the school bus.
Diana Swift stood on the side of the road, and suddenly, like a pupil, she tugged Josh Hunter and refused to walk.
Josh Hunter: "What's wrong?"
Diana Swift: "My feet hurt and I can't walk."
Once warned, Diana Swift began to make a demon.
Josh Hunter dropped his eyes and glanced, "Then I'll ask the driver to drive over."
Diana Swift stretched out a finger and gestured, "This is a one-way street, the car has to make a big detour to turn around."
She didn't even have a driver's license, but she knew the traffic rules very well.
Josh Hunter lightly sneered. Ignoring her, he intended to dial the number.
But she reached out to cover the phone and justified it by saying, "Why do you like to cause trouble for others so much?"
Josh Hunter glanced at her with a look of "Everyone is qualified to say this but you are not." After being quiet for a moment, he asked, "So what do you want? Let me carry you?"
Diana Swift looked around with her arms around her, deliberately making a casual gesture, and half squinting. "When I was a child, Brother Toby would carry me."
"..."
Josh Hunter lowered his eyes and continued to look for the driver's phone number.
"...?"
What kind of shit attitude did he have?
She wouldn't really want him to carry her in front of a group of schoolchildren, but he could at least show a little bit of tenderness and consideration as a husband. Hadn't he ever carried Mandy Lee before? Why couldn't him carry her!
The more Diana Swift thought about it, the angrier she got. Without thinking, she said, "I don't know when Brother Toby will come back. Brother Toby has been smart since childhood, and he should have developed well abroad in recent years. I have never seen a few boys as good as him, and he is also very kind. He fed all the stray cats near the alley when we were a kid. "
Just as Diana Swift's mouth was making things up, the driver had been informed and driven over.
Josh Hunter stepped forward to open the car door and suddenly paused. He looked back at Diana Swift, and said indifferently, "He has many Chinese traditional virtues, but unfortunately I don't have any."
Diana Swift: "...?"
Before she could respond, he slammed the car door shut.
