Ji Ziâang sniffed and followed Ji Yuanyuan back home.
âIs your arm really okay?â He asked as we walked.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head, âItâs okay. I wear such thick clothes in winter.â
Only then did he relax.
When the two of them returned home, they realized Ji Zixuan and Qin Mucheng were waiting for them at the door!
He rubbed his nose uncomfortably.
Ji Zixuan spoke to Qin Mucheng and pretended not to notice Ji Ziâangâs discomfort.
The four of them returned home together. As soon as they entered the house, Li Xu said, âYuanyuan, Jingyi called you just now and said that sheâs free. She took a taxi over.â
Ji Yuanyuan did not bring her phone with her when she went downstairs.
âOh,â Ji Yuanyuan replied and went to the sofa to look for a phone.
Sure enough, Yang Jingyi had made a call five minutes ago.
Ji Yuanyuan sat down on the sofa and texted Yang Jingyi, âDidnât you make an appointment with your roommates?â
Yang Jingyi immediately replied, âMy roommate had something to do. Iâm already in a taxi.â
Ji Yuanyuan did not even raise her head and said to Li Xu, âSheâs already in the car.â
âAlright, then Iâll steam the rice. Thereâs a total of eight people, so Iâll steam more.â Li Xu muttered softly.
âMom,â Ji Zixuan suddenly said, âI have something to do. I need to go back to school. Donât cook for me.â
Li Xu raised her head in shock, âItâs the weekend. Whatâs so urgent? Canât you go after dinner?â
Ji Zixuan already changed his clothes, âTeacher said it was urgent. Iâll go back and take a look. You donât have to wait for me to eat. Iâll eat at the canteen after Iâm done.â
Seeing this, he changed his shoes and hurried out.
Li Xu muttered, âThis child, is there a ghost chasing after him? 1 havenât finished speaking!â
Ji Yuanyuan looked in the direction Ji Zixuan left with a thoughtful expression.
Something was wrong with Big Brother!
Why did he act weird when he heard Yang Jingyiâs name?
Li Xu sighed and ordered the three of them, âThe three of you watch TV for a while. Weâll have dinner in twenty minutes.â
Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng said almost at the same time, âGot it.â
Ji Ziâang lowered his head and grunted.
After hesitating for a moment, he got up and went to the bathroom.
He was afraid Li Xu and Zhang Kun would see he had cried, so he wanted to go to the toilet to wash his face.
After the toilet door closed, Ji Yuanyuan quickly got up and went to the kitchen.
âDad, when we eat later, you have to give Second Brother some food first. You have to give it to him first, understand? Heâs coming out soon. I wonât explain it to you guys yet. Weâll talk about it tonight.â After saying that, Ji Yuanyuan quickly returned to the sofa.
The whole process took less than 10 seconds. When Ji Ziâang came out of the toilet, Ji Yuanyuan was comfortably lying on the sofa and watching television. He did not suspect anything.
In the kitchen, Zhang Kun closed the kitchen door and whispered to Li Xu, âWhatâs wrong? Whatâs wrong with Ziâang?â
âHow would I know?â Li Xu shook her head. âJust do whatever Yuanyuan says!â
Zhang Kun smiled and shook his head. âGo and steam the rice. Iâll do the rest.â
Five to six minutes later, Fang Xinyi arrived.
She was carrying some fruits in her hands. Ji Ziâang took them and Ji Yuanyuan pulled her to sit on the sofa.
Fang Xinyi was a little reserved. After chatting for a while, she looked around and asked, âWhereâs Brother Zixuan? 1 borrowed his book a few days ago and brought it here today to return it to him.â
As she spoke, she took out two books from her bag.
âJust put it down,â Ji Yuanyuan said. âMy brother has something to do at school, so he went to school.â
Fang Xinyi hesitated for a moment, âThen when will your big brother come back? I have a type of question that I donât quite understand. I want to ask him.â
âI donât know. Iâll call him and ask him after dinner.â! i Yuanyuan said casually.
Fang Xinyi placed the book on the coffee table, âAlright.â
Not long after Fang Xinyi sat down, Yang Jingyi also came over.
Yang Jingyiâs was younger and didnât have such an etiquette as Fang Xinyi. She came empty-handed.
After entering, the first thing she did was to look around the room and ask, âYuanyuan, whereâs Brother Zixuan?â
Strange, why are these two people here for Big Brother?
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Yang Jingyi suspiciously, âMy big brother is out. Something happened at school.â
Yang Jingyiâs expression was obviously a little disappointed. She replied with an âohâ, walked to Ji Yuanyuanâs side, and sat down with a heavy heart.
It was almost time to eat and there were so many people around. Ji Yuanyuan could not say anything.
A few minutes later, Li Xu opened the kitchen door and came out with the dishes, âGo wash your hands and prepare to eat.â
Fang Xinyi immediately got up and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She then went to the kitchen to help Li Xu serve the dishes, âAuntie, let me help you.â
Li Xu smiled and refused, âNo need, no need. Hurry up and sit down. Just wait to eat.â
Qin Mucheng looked at Fang Xinyiâs reaction and asked Ji Yuanyuan quietly, âAm I being too frank? Ishould show more in front of Auntie.â
Ji Yuanyuan laughed, âMy mother has known you for so many years. Itâs too late for you to show off now!â
Qin Mucheng smiled, âThatâs true. Auntie seems to like me. Itâs not a big problem if I donât show it.â
Ji Yuanyuan glanced at him and quickly went forward to help set up the chair.
Fortunately, when Li Xu bought the dining table back then, she thought that there would definitely be more and more people in the family in the future, so she bought a very big dining table.
Otherwise, it really wouldnât be able to fit so many people.
After everyone sat down, Zhang Kun and Li Xu greeted everyone, âEat it while itâs hot.â
Ji Ziâang picked up his chopsticks with a nonchalant expression, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Kun.
The next moment, Zhang Kun picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of red braised pork into Ji Ziâangâs bowl, âSon, eat more, you look thinner.â
Looking at the meat in his bowl, Ji Ziâang could not help but pursed his lips.
He had never noticed his father really liked him the most. Yuanyuan was sitting closest to him, but the first dish he picked up was for him.
âThank you, Daddy!â After thanking him, he picked up his chopsticks and bowl and began to eat happily.
Zhang Kun and Li Xu looked at each other silently, the confusion in their eyes growing.
After dinner, Zhang Kun and Li Xu went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Ji Ziâang was probably still debating whether he should confess to his parents about racing, so he ran to the study room alone.
This house was a three-bedroom house. After Li Xu and Zhang Kun moved in, they lived in the master bedroom.
The remaining second bedroom was given to Ji Yuanyuan, so the brothers could only sleep in the study.
Fortunately, the two of them did not go home often.
In the living room, Ji Yuanyuan sat in the middle while Fang Xinyi and Yang Jingyi sat on either side of her.
Qin Mucheng could not sit next to Ji Yuanyuan, so he sat on a separate sofa aggrievedly.
Under the watchful eyes of Fang Xinyi and Yang Jingyi, Ji Yuanyuan took out her phone and called Ji Zixuan..
