Chapter 194 Be careful, the call is coming

Suddenly, there was a click from the door behind me.

The doorknob was turned, Gu Ji turned her head, and her eyes met with Ye Qingtong who was tiptoeing to enter her room.

Ye Qingtong's face was filled with surprise and embarrassment. "Why...are you awake so early?"

"What are you holding in your hand?" Gu Ji looked at her hand.

Ye Qingtong immediately put his hands behind his back and said, "No, nothing."

She backed out and turned to leave.

Gu Ji stopped her and said, "Don't you really have anything to say to me? You may not have the chance to say it in the future."

Hearing this, Ye Qingtong didn't care about the embarrassment and turned around and rushed in, "What are you going to do?"

After staying in the Northern Frontier for nearly twenty days, Ye Qingtong's accent had already been infected and he hadn't had time to correct it.

"There are many things to do, and I feel relieved to have you at home and to cooperate and help each other."

"You can't leave."

"I might have to go to the Special Bureau for a while. Lin Jinque reported the Northern Frontier situation to his superiors after returning. Gu Yan also returned to the bureau. As soon as I got off the plane, Director Jin and Captain Qi sent me a message saying that there was a very important matter that needed my assistance. In the short term, well... maybe more than a short time. I might not be able to go home for a long time within the next five years."

Ye Qingtong turned around a few times, opened her mouth, closed it again, grabbed Gu Ji's hand and took several deep breaths.

Gu Ji pulled up her shoulder straps and said, "The headquarters is not in Jiangcheng, but I will definitely come back during the holidays. Moreover, as the studio develops, I, as a shareholder, will have many interviews or variety show invitations, and I will definitely attend them. Don't worry."

"How can I feel at ease?"

She hugged Gu Ji, her voice trembling, "Did I make you angry? I know. I didn't sleep all night last night. I thought a lot. Actually, I wouldn't have such thoughts about others. I was also very angry when someone online was shipping you and Jun Zhu. I hate that they think of those things when they see you with a guy, but I didn't realize that I was also caught up in such thoughts."

"I don't blame you."

"You want to blame me? If someone said that people like me and my brother are good, I would be very angry too. You and Jun Zhu can be siblings, you can be close friends fighting side by side. You and Lin Jinque are superiors and subordinates, colleagues, not love. I am worrying about something that does not exist. In essence, I am putting you in a position of nothingness. I apologize to you. Can you please not leave?"

She grabbed Gu Ji's clothes and asked again, "Please, can you not leave? When my sister disappeared, I wondered if she hated me, or if I wasn't good enough, so she disappeared. Ji Ji, you want to leave again now. Did I make you angry?"

In fact, Ye Qingtong could say that her father couldn’t bear to part with her, and her grandmother couldn’t bear to part with her.

But she didn't speak for others, she just said that she couldn't bear to take care of herself.

She forced a smile, but her eyes were crying.

Those tears burned Gu Ji's soul.

But she had to answer: "No."

"I love you very much, sister. I'm not angry. I will never be angry with you. It's just that this matter will take some time, and there will be danger during this period. Of course I want to take you with me. Just like before, I also want to say that I can protect you. But I can't say it out loud. I haven't figured out how strong the Western Conference Finals are yet. Before the big battle, I must improve my strength. This short separation is for our family to be together forever, right?"

As soon as she arrived at the Ye family, Ye Qingtong used this tone to coax Gu Ji.

Now Gu Ji was coaxing her, but she grabbed Gu Ji's collar, buried her face in his neck, and couldn't control herself anymore, crying uncontrollably.

Gu Ji blocked the sound for fear of waking up his uncle and grandmother.

In fact, they had known that they were leaving a long time ago. Director Jin had contacted them a long time ago. As soon as she returned home, she felt the sadness of her grandmother and Uncle Ye. It was just that in the adult world, they always seemed to be accustomed to hiding their sadness and reluctance.

They are always used to watching the children they raised leave them.

Ye Qingtong punched Gu Ji. "Look at you, there are so many people in the world, so many people in the special department, so many people in Sanqing Temple, and so many members of the board of directors, are you the only one missing?! Why are you showing off? Just be your little Taoist priest, just broadcast live every day, and we can work together in the entertainment industry to make Taiwan the next queen and let Jiayi break out of Asia, right? Why are you showing off? Does this world really need you to save it? You are just a child, you are only twenty. When I was twenty, I was still thinking about what to eat after class at noon!

Didn’t you say you still wanted to go to college, study for a master’s degree, or study abroad? You lied, you cheated!!!”

Gu Ji did not refute.

She let Ye Qingtong vent her emotions until she fainted from exhaustion.

Gu Ji put the person on his bed and opened the door.

Grandma and her husband were busy in the kitchen wearing aprons. When they heard the noise, grandma wiped her hands and ran out immediately. Her eyes were very red, and it was obvious that she didn't sleep well last night.

"Leaving so soon?"

"Well, time waits for no one."

Grandma hummed twice, turned around and said, "Our child is promising, this is a good thing. Director Jin said you are going to be a big leader. Our family has a big leader, it's a face!"

The moment he turned around, Gu Ji watched her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The kitchen was filled with all kinds of food she had prepared.

The Ye family's kitchen is semi-open and very large. After all, the house is very big. Gu Ji calculated that based on the normal person's appetite, it can last for at least more than a month.

She also made a lot of pastries, and Gu Ji put them all away.

"Thank you, Grandma. I will eat one every day and miss you all."

Grandma hummed twice and said, "Okay, okay, you have to come back after you finish eating, and I will make it for you."

"good."

Uncle Ye was not good at talking to begin with. He looked at Gu Ji for a long time without saying a word. It was only when Gu Ji was about to go out that he managed to utter a few words: "Be careful. Call me when you get there."

Gu Ji's nose felt sore and he hummed.

She once imagined herself going far away to study, with her parents watching her go from the door, saying to her simply "Be careful", and then the phone rang.

It turns out she already has it.

Gu Ji turned around and hugged Ye Zheng.

She could feel that Uncle Ye's body was a little stiff and he was at a loss.

"Thank you, Father Ye. I'll tell you when I get there. If Qingtong wakes up and blames you for not waking her up, you can just say it was me. Goodbye, Father Ye, goodbye, Grandma!"

She ran away again, waved to them, and got into the car.

The car drove out of sight.

Ye Zheng's lower lip trembled slightly, "Just now, Ji Ji, what did you call me?"

"You heard right." Grandma wiped her tears. "This child has to take care of everything herself. It's all our fault. If only we had adopted her sooner, it would have been great. It's also my fault. I actually thought she was bad at first. I wish I had been nicer to her from the beginning."

She mumbled into the house.

Ye Zheng looked at the car that had disappeared long ago and thought, yes, why didn’t I meet them earlier? Why didn’t I spend more time with them during this period?

Ji Ji, Dad wishes you a safe journey.
