The airport is neither far nor close to Ji Qingqian's home.
The journey takes about forty minutes in total.
Fortunately, it's all airport expressway and elevated road. There are no traffic lights to interfere, so it feels a bit faster than it actually is.
After the last turn, Old Man Ji drove the car into the residential area.
Just by looking at this neighborhood from the outside, you can tell it's something special.
It is a style that combines Chinese and Western elements.
The building is also very tall.
However, Lu Yibei wasn't too surprised by the luxury of the development.
Two reasons.
First, even if he's never eaten pork, he's still seen pigs run—even if he can't afford a luxury house, he's still seen them.
And that pig is named Xu Che.
Although Young Master Xu claimed to be short of funds, he still bought a luxury house in a prestigious affluent area.
Lu Yibei, his godfather, frequented the place quite often during his high school years.
Secondly, it's not worth mentioning.
He had already been surprised when Ji Qingqian video-called him before.
"The Songhua River is just ahead..."
Lu Yibei's girlfriend, who was standing beside him, introduced the situation to him. She then glanced at Old Man Ji, who was walking alone in front of him, and whispered, "Don't worry, it's frozen."
—Lu Yibei once joked that he was afraid her father would make him drown in the Songhua River.
Hearing his daughter and son whispering behind him, he couldn't quite make out what they were saying, but... they were getting way too close! You two!
Old Man Ji turned around.
—It might not be a joke.
Lu Yibei chuckled awkwardly, but Ji Qingqian wasn't afraid of her father at all. She glared back at him, and Ji's father chuckled awkwardly as well.
…In this respect, the two performed quite similarly.
"Really..."
Ji Qingqian pouted unhappily: "I really don't know why he's unhappy about it."
"After all, it was my beloved little cabbage that got picked..."
Lu Yibei spoke very carefully, afraid that if Old Man Ji heard him, he would punch him twice: "Old Man Ji has always disliked his daughter's boyfriend."
"Who said that? Some people just look pleasing to the eye."
Ji Qingqian said, "I really want him to study hard..."
"...There are other experts?" Lu Yibei asked. "Who?"
He'll have to go and ask him for advice.
Ji Qingqian pondered for a moment:
"Jiaojiao said that her dad gets along very well with your roommate."
"Bamboo shoots?"
Lu Yibei asked, and Ji Qingqian nodded vigorously.
"Yes."
“…He can’t be considered my boyfriend,” Lu Yibei said.
"It's true that the relationship hasn't been confirmed... but..."
Ji Qingqian was about to say this when Lu Yibei interrupted her: "That's not what I meant."
Ji Qingqian was taken aback, then thought of Zhao Sun's beautiful face.
She nodded in agreement.
—Indeed, it cannot be counted.
As she spoke, she glanced at her somewhat timid boyfriend:
Is it that cold?
"...It's cold."
He only discovered this after arriving in Northeast China.
The notions of damp cold and dry cold are all nonsense.
He'll be the first to disagree if anyone says that magical attacks from Jiangnan are colder than those from Northeast China!
Ji Qingqian moved closer to his side and asked softly:
"Wouldn't this make it warmer?"
Lu Yibei: ...
He glanced again at Old Man Ji, who kept turning around in front of him.
I don't know if he's warm or not.
But with his own little cabbage sticking up to another boy, Old Man Ji was definitely getting a little embarrassed.
Once they got on the elevator, Old Man Ji stepped aside, and the two young people quieted down considerably.
—The elevator here is one elevator per household, so it goes directly to the large flat where Ji Qingqian lives.
As soon as Lu Yibei stepped into his home, he felt the charm of Northeast China.
No matter how fierce the wind and rain are outside, everything will be alright once you go inside.
Warm and comfortable.
It's warm and cozy everywhere.
Is this the kind of beauty that can't be experienced in Jiangnan?
—If anyone says that Northeast China is colder than Jiangnan, he'll be the first to disagree!
Old Man Ji roared with great force:
"I'm back!!"
"—Finally back."
A woman's voice came from inside.
It was almost identical to what I had heard on Ji Qingqian's phone before.
It seems to be Mom... cough, Aunt Ji.
The person who came out was about the same age as Old Man Ji, thin with an oval face. His face shape was very similar to Ji Qingqian's, but his eyebrows and eyes were softer than his daughter's.
It seems that Lady Ji inherited her father's facial features and her mother's face shape.
It has to be said that this combination is just right.
Lu Yibei could vaguely see that Ji's mother and father had once enjoyed a very vibrant youth.
As time passed, it left faint marks on their faces.
"Are you cold?" Mrs. Ji asked.
…
…
P.S. I'm still not fully recovered, so there won't be a third update...
Feel sorry.
I'll take a short rest.
