Therefore, during the Spring Festival, the security in this area was the most unstable.
The Chinese who had lived there for a long time knew that they had to be careful when they went out during the Spring Festival. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fortunately, Ji Zixuan was a gentleman and insisted on sending Huang Weiwei home after she delivered the dumplings.
When they met robbers on the road, he always protected Huang Weiwei.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Huang Yichen was filled with regret.
âItâs alright,â Ji Zixuan comforted Huang Weiwei. âYou donât have to worry too much. I can take care of myself with just one hand.â
Huang Weiweiâs eyes were slightly red as she said in a self-reproaching tone,
âDonât push it away, or else I wonât feel good.â
Ji Zixuan was about to say something when Ji Yuanyuan quickly interjected, âBrother Mucheng and I will take care of my brother when he goes home, but itâs not convenient for the two of us when weâre outside. At that time, Iâll leave
it Senior Sister.â
âItâs no trouble at all.â Huang Weiwei shook her head.
âThen can we go home now?â Qin Mucheng asked.
Huang Weiweiâs father immediately added, âNot only did Zixuanâs arm get injured, but his head was also hit. In my opinion, itâs better for him to stay in the hospital for observation at night. If thereâs no problem, he can be discharged tomorrow.â
âAlright then.â Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
âThen you should go back and rest. Iâll take care of him tonight.â Huang Weiwei immediately said.
-Why donât you let Mucheng stay?â Ji Zixuan hesitated. âItâs not convenient for you to stay here.â
However, Huang Weiwei insisted, âTil stay. Mucheng still has classes tomorrow. Besides, I have something to tell you.â
As soon as she said this, Huang Yichen shivered and immediately advised, âBrother Zixuan, donât decline. Otherwise, my sister will think of you at home and definitely wonât be able to rest well.â
Seeing that he could not refuse, he said, âThen Iâll have to trouble you.â
Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng were well aware of this and naturally would not say anything.
It was already past eight oâclock when Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng returned home from the hospital.
The nanny was also Chinese, and it was also the Spring Festival, so she would not be around during this period of time.
As for the chauffeur, he went to work during the day and returned home at night.
Since Ji Zixuan was in the hospital, only Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng were left in the huge house.
The two of them sat on the sofa and snuggled up to each other. The television was switched on, and it was playing a domestic drama.
âDo you think we should tell my parents about Big Brotherâs injury?â Ji Yuanyuan asked with some hesitation.
If she told her parents now, they would definitely be very worried.
However, they couldnât make it this far.
âForget it, we shouldnât tell them. I donât want them to worry.â Before Qin Mucheng could express his opinion, Ji Yuanyuan rejected the idea.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mucheng did not say anything. He only reached out to stroke her hair.
âTell me, what do you think Senior Huang wants to say to Big Brother? Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and asked again.
Her eyes sparkled with a smile.
An inexplicable fragrance entered Qin Muchengâs nose.
His gaze could not help but shift from Ji Yuanyuanâs eyes to her lips.
He did not hear what Ji Yuanyuan was saying at all.
He swallowed his saliva and forced himself to look away.
Ji Yuanyuan was originally waiting for Qin Muchengâs answer with her head raised. Who knew that in the next second, her head was pushed away and Qin
Mucheng stood up.
Ji Yuanyuan turned around in confusion, âWhatâs wrong?
âItâs nothing. Iâm going to the kitchen to get some water.â Qin Muchengâs voice sounded a little hoarse.
Ji Yuanyuan blinked and suddenly understood why.
Qin Mucheng stood in the kitchen for a long time and did not return.
Ji Yuanyuan thought for a moment and took the initiative to step forward. Standing behind Qin Mucheng, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.
âActually, thereâs no need to do this. Anyway, weâre going to get married sooner or later. There are some things that donât matter if theyâre done sooner or
later.â
Qin Muchengâs body stiffened for a moment.
A moment later, he took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.
He turned around and wrapped his arms around Ji Yuanyuanâs shoulders, whispering, âBefore you came, I was looking forward to your arrival every day. Even just listening to your breathing is better than looking at you through the cold screen. But now that youâre here, Iâm a little regretful.
âRegret? Could it be that youâre doing something shameful here? Are you afraid that I know?â Ji Yuanyuan said jokingly.
Qin Mucheng smiled bitterly, âIâm afraid that I canât control myself. Since Iâve promised you, I naturally have to keep my promise. Besides, I canât do anything that will disappoint Uncle and Auntie.â
He sighed again, âEven if I beg you, you can never accept it. Otherwise, Iâm afraid I wonât be able to hold it in. I will also study hard and strive to return to China as soon as possible.â
Ji Yuanyuan also let out a long sigh. She actually wanted Qin Mucheng not to keep his promise.
Moreover, even if something happened, as long as the two of them did not say anything, their parents would not know.
However, Ji Yuanyuan could not say this out loud.
Qin Mucheng might think she was not reserved.
âWhat you should be looking forward to now is not your return, but the early arrival of my eighteenth birthday.â
Even if Qin Mucheng could return to the country next winter, she would have just celebrated her 17th birthday.
âYeah, Iâve waited for you for so long. Why havenât you grown up yet?â Qin Mucheng tried to hold it in, but he could not help but kiss Ji Yuanyuan on the forehead.
In the hospital, Huang Weiwei and Ji Zixuan were separated by a curtain. Both of them were silent and did not speak.
In the end, Huang Weiwei could not help but stand up and pull open the curtain between them.
âJi Zixuan, I used to think that you didnât like me, so I was willing to be your friend. I stayed in the position of a friend and didnât dare to cross the line. But now that you clearly like me, I canât continue to pretend to be friends with you.â Huang Weiweiâs gentleness was gone, and her words were powerful. Ji Zixuan sat up on the bed and looked at Huang Weiwei, hesitating to speak.
Seeing his hesitation, Huang Weiwei said, âJust say what you want to say.â
He raised his hand and scratched his head.
This was the first time that he was at a loss in front of Huang Weiwei.
He had always been at ease, whether it was in his studies or in his life.
âIâve been thinking about how to confess to you so that youâll agree. I didn t expect you to be the first to snatch it.â Ji Zixuan whispered.
Huang Weiwei was delighted, but she did not show it on her face. She only said slowly, âEver since they left, you havenât spoken. Itâs been half an hour. Who knows what youâre thinking? Besides, was that a confession?
Ji Zixuan reacted quickly and quickly shook his head, âIt doesnât count. At most, it counts as an inquiry..â
