There were even a few windows that had their curtains open. From afar, one could see the children sitting in front of the desk, burying their heads in their books.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed slightly and drew the curtains again.
Early the next morning, Li Xu woke up and pulled Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Ziâang out of bed.
Knowing that there was still time, the two of them definitely wouldnât be able to eat breakfast, so Li Xu didnât cook.
After tidying up the two children, she packed them up and sent them to Zhang Kunâs car.
âSlow down on the road, Zixuan and I wonât wait for you to eat dinner tonight.â Li Xu discussed with Zhang Kun through the car window.
âAlright, you donât have to wait for us. Weâll be back at least eight oâclock.â Zhang Kun started the car and urged her,â âItâs cold outside. You should go back quickly. You can still get some sleep.
Li Xu laughed, âIâm not sleeping anymore. Itâs time to cook. Zixuan will wake up soon.â
She raised her hand and waved at them, âBye-bye!â
The siblings in the backseat leaned against each other and greeted Li Xu with a sleepy expression, âBye, Mommy!â
Zhang Kun rolled up the car window and drove off with the two of them.
Li Xu stood rooted to the ground. After the car disappeared, she gathered her clothes and turned around to go upstairs.
As for Zhang Kun, he was hoping the two little fellows could talk to him so he wouldnât feel sleepy on the road.
Who knew that not long after they set off, the siblings would snuggle up in the backseat and sleep soundly?
Through the rearview mirror, Zhang Kun looked at the two of them and shook his head helplessly.
They left early in the morning, so the traffic wasnât too congested.
They set off at 6:30 and arrived at Qin Junshan at around 7:10.
Zhang Kun put down the two children and did not have the time to greet Qin Junshan. He directly turned the car around and left.
If he didnât leave now, he would be late.
He reached out and pressed the doorbell.
Soon, the nanny, Xiao Qi, came over and opened the door.
âYouâre early? Come in, have you eaten?â
Ji Ziâang entered first and asked, âGrandpa Qin, when will Brother Mucheng arrive?â
Ji Yuanyuan followed behind him and smiled at Xiao Qi, âAuntie Qi, we havenât eaten yet!â
Xiao Qi immediately looked at Qin Junshan, âThen, you should accompany the children to have some porridge. Iâll make another plate of fried dumplings.â
Qin Junshan nodded at the nanny, Xiao Qi, âAlright, make more.â
Then, she looked at Ji Ziang, âItâs probably in the afternoon. Brother Xiao Li went to B City yesterday and brought your Aunt back.â
âThatâs great!â Ji Ziâang cheered up, âI can see two people I havenât seen in a long time.â
Qin Junshan smiled and asked, âWhereâs Zixuan? Why didnât Zixuan come over?â
In the past, the three children would come together. Why were there only two today? Qin Junshan muttered in his heart.
At the mention of Ji Zixuan, his face scrunched up, âMy Big Brother is in trouble. Itâs already the holidays, but he still has to go to class!â
âClasses? What class?â Qin Junshan asked curiously.
âAnyway, itâs a very powerful class.â Ji Ziang said casually.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan quickly added, âItâs the Mathematical Olympiad training school. My mother wants my brother to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad competition next year.â
Qin Junshan nodded thoughtfully, âThatâs right. Your brother is just like Mucheng. Heâs born to learn.â
Ji Ziâang looked at him and joked, âGrandpa Qin, are you trying to sell your melon?â
Qin Junshan laughed, âHow is it that Iâm the one selling melons? Arenât 1 telling the truth?â
Ji Ziâang chuckled and did not continue.
Xiao Qi, the nanny, quickly prepared breakfast. The three of them sat together and finished their breakfast while chatting and laughing.
After breakfast, a call came from B City.
It was Cheng Shuqin, âMucheng and the others had already set off. They should be arriving around noon.â
Itâs already noon, and it was beyond their expectation.
âMake a few more dishes for lunch,â Qin Junshan immediately instructed Xiao Qi., âMucheng and Miaomiao will be back for lunch.â
Xiao Qi, the nanny, smiled and said, âGot it. 1â11 make more of Muchengâs favorite dishes. He doesnât like sweet food and sour food.â
Qin Junshan nodded in satisfaction, âYes, make more of Muchengâs favorite food.â
Ever since Cheng Shuqin made this call, Qin Junshan had been restless.
He knew that it was impossible, but he went out every half an hour to see if they had come.
He had walked back and forth countless times.
They waited from eight oâclock to twelve oâclock, but Xiao Liâs car still didnât come back.
Qin Junshan simply did not enter the house and waited at the entrance.
Seeing that he was burning with anxiety, Ji Ziâang and Ji Yuanyuan also brought a stool out and waited outside with Qin Junshan.
Xiao Liâs car only appeared not far away at around 12:30 pm.
Qin Junshan stood up from his chair excitedly, âItâs Mucheng. Mucheng and the others are back.â
Ji Yuanyuan could understand Qin Junshanâs feelings.
Ever since Qin Junshan returned from B City in the first month of this year, he had not seen Qin Mucheng again.
During the summer break, Qin Mucheng went to the summer camp and could not come over.
It had been almost a year since they had met. Wasnât it exciting?
In fact, Ji Yuanyuan was also quite excited now. She was not much calmer than Qin Junshan.
The car approached from afar and quickly stopped at the entrance.
Although Xiao Li was young, he was a steady driver, even more so than Gong Wenbai.
After the car was parked, he impatiently went forward and opened the backseat door.
âBrother Mucheng!â when Ji Ziâang saw Qin Mucheng, his eyes lit up.
Qin Mucheng smiled at him and greeted him, âZiâang!â
Hearing this, Ji Ziâangâs expression became even more surprised, âBrother Mucheng, your voiceâ¦â
Hearing the voice, Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised.
Speaking of which, she had not spoken to Qin Mucheng on the phone for more than a month.
More than a month ago, Qin Muchengâs voice was still hoarse and hoarse.
But now, it had become a deep bass.
Qin Mucheng nodded and got out of the car. He looked at Qin Junshan and Ji Yuanyuan.
âGrandpa, Yuanyuan, Iâm back!â he whispered.
Ji Yuanyuanâs eyes lit up the moment she saw Qin Mucheng.
Qin Muchengâs change in the past year was very obvious.
Not only did his voice sound better, but he also grew taller and his face seemed to have grown.
For a moment, Ji Yuanyuan was stunned.
Qin Mucheng could not help but laugh when he saw Ji Yuanyuanâs expression,
âI brought you a gift. Do you want to see it now?â
Ji Yuanyuan came back to her senses and her ears were a little red. She quickly said, âLetâs eat first. You must be hungry after taking the trip all the way, right?â
Just as they were talking, Li Miao, who was in the passenger seat, also got out.
Qin Junshan greeted them happily, âCome in quickly. Xiao Qi has already prepared lunch. If thereâs anything, letâs talk after dinner..â
