Chapter 39 - Bella De

As the days passed,Shi Ai had slowly adapted to her new surroundings.Though she never got used to Uncle Chu addressing her as the young miss,she enjoyed the way Uncle Chu teased her and encouraged her and Brother Min.She had started playing online games with Zhang Min and thoriughly enjoyed them though she always lost to him.For the first time in her life,Shi Ai had a complete family with a doting mother and teasing brother.Though Mrs Zhang did not know how to cook,she knew how to feed and she was always feeding her two children with as much food as she could.With the autmn holidays,both Zhang Min and Shi Ai had been fed so much that they felt they would soon be rolling around like fat drums.Both the older brothers had left for country C to continue their service,so Mrs Zhu had only two kids to focus on and she did that.

Finally,after spending the first part of their holidays being over pampered Zhang Min and Shi Ai planned their escape.They decided to go on a two day camping trip to the countryside.Since both the kids were underage,Uncle Chu volunteered to go with them as their chauffeur and guardian.

Shi Ai was excited to be on a holiday as this was again a new experience for her.Apart from the one time she had gone for sister Alicia's wedding in country C where she met her prince charming,she had never been on a holiday.Even when she had been recuperating and the doctors had encouraged them to take a simple and non tiring holiday, she and Auntie Wu had chosen to just make a picnic at a nearby park and be lazy soaking in the sun.

The next day,both the kids were ready and packed to go.Shi Ai was almost dancing inexcitement while Zhang Min was also unusually happy.He had a special plan to implement and he almost rubbed his hands in excitement..After assuring his mother that they would be careful and alert,the three people went on their way.As they left the city,Shi Ai's nose was plastered to the window.She did not wish to miss anything.But because of her excitement she did miss something.

She failed to notice that Zhang Min had secretly gestured to Uncle Chu to change directions.It was only later that she glanced at the directions on the highway did she realize that they had lost direction.She immediately turned to look at Uncle Chu and exclaimed,"Uncle Chu!We are lost!This is not the way.You need to turn back!"

Uncle Chu was pretended to be insulted at this and said,"Miss Shi Ai!How can you accuse me of being lost!Let me tell you I am an expert at driving and reading directions!I cannot believe that the young miss would have so little faith in me."

Shi Ai was immediately contrite at this and immediately began to apologize profusely,causing both Uncle Chu and Zhang Min to break out in laughter.This confused her even more but Shi Ai could never be accused of being dim!She immediately knew that these two people were upto no good!She narrowed her eyes and glared at Zhang Min and asked,"Why have you changed our destination?"

Zhang Min nodded and patted her head saying,"Our family's Shi Ai is smart!Yes we are having a stopover before going to our destination!But don't worry,you will definitely like it there!"

Shi Ai glared at Zhang Minand then whipping out her phone checked the map.She then glared at the duo some more and snapped,"A stopover would happen on the way!While we are moving in the opposite direction!"She then caught Zhang Min in a chokehold by the neck(the way he had thought her) and threatened,"If you ruin my holiday for something frivolous,I will make you pay!"

Zhang Min rolled his eyes at his stupidity for teaching her that move and said in a small whiny voice,"Little sister we are going to meet someone special!I promise you will like her!"

Shi Ai immediately let go of him and thoughtfully stared before muttering,"We are going to meet your Bella?"

Zhang Min had a big silly grin across his face and nodded happily.
