Chapter 107 Meeting an acquaintance
Hearing Chaoyang say this, Ji Xiaomi felt relieved.
It seems she was overthinking it.
Yeah, how could it be such a coincidence that we just happen to live next door?
"Thank you and your sister."
Ji Xiaomi smiled, then walked into the yard carrying a fruit basket, then picked up some freshly grilled skewers and walked back to the door.
"These are the skewers I just grilled, try them."
Chaoyang reached out to take it, and his hand inevitably brushed against the other person's hand.
Although they separated at the first touch, the place where they touched felt like it was on fire and was numb.
Chaoyang lowered his eyes slightly, suppressing the emotion in his eyes: "Okay, thank you. By the way, what should I call you?"
"My name is..." Ji Xiaomi dragged out the last syllable, "Jiang Moyi."
Although she had changed her last name when she came in, this small courtyard should be considered a wealthy area. Who knows if this A Ye knows her father?
What if you find any clues?
It’s safer to come up with a more fake name.
"Jiang Moyi? That's a nice name." Chaoyang smiled faintly, "Moyi, thank you for the barbecue."
After saying this, he didn't linger for long, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
Being too enthusiastic will make him seem too goal-oriented and easily cause the other party to be disgusted.
The moment he turned around and lowered his head, Chaoyang curled his lips slightly.
OK.
Yes, I like it.
Although I still don’t understand why this happened, it doesn’t matter. Since it happened, I just have to accept it.
Heart-beating.
like.
I'm going to catch up.
On the short walk from Ji Xiaomi's yard back to his own yard, many thoughts flashed through Chaoyang's mind.
It was not until we entered the yard that Chaolu's voice was heard.
"How's it going? Did you strike up a conversation? What's her name? What's your impression of her?"
Chaolu bombarded Chaoyang with a series of questions like cannonballs.
"Yeah." Chaoyang blinked, "She has a nice voice."
Chaolu: “…”
???
May I ask?
What does this answer have to do with the question she asked?
She looked at Chaoyang speechlessly. Although she looked calm on the surface,...
My heart is probably filled with pink bubbles!
"Really... Either they don't understand, or once they do, they become love-brained." Chaolu shook her head in disdain, then glanced at the skewers in Chaoyang's hand and walked over to take one. "Hmm... it tastes good~ Okay, you can savor it slowly by yourself. I'm going to go for a walk to help digest the food."
After saying that, Chaolu left.
On the other side, Ji Xiaomi returned to the yard with a fruit basket, took out the bunch of grapes, and peeled an orange.
“This neighbor is nice.”
Ji Xiaomi leaned on the recliner and stuffed oranges into her mouth. The oranges were sweet and delicious.
[Hmm… This…]
Xiaonian, who knew the truth, was hesitant to speak.
[Xiaomi, morning sun and morning dew...]
"Brother, didn't I tell you not to tell me about them?" Ji Xiaomi sighed and interrupted Xiaonian, "I'm leaving soon anyway, so let's not meet for now."
【……】
Okay.
It’s not that he didn’t remind her, it’s that Xiaomi didn’t listen.
As they were chatting, a faint "meow" suddenly came from the wall next to them.
Ji Xiaomi turned her head and saw a black cat as small as a fist jumping down from the wall.
Then it rolled on the ground a few times and finally turned back into a normal-sized black cat.
"Xiao Hei?"
It’s me…
Xiao Hei spoke weakly.
[It was such a chore getting into the base! I split myself into so many pieces, smaller than a sesame seed, that I could squeeze in bit by bit. Then I had to put myself back together again. It was so tiring!]
Fortunately it is a system, otherwise I really can’t get in.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Hei~" Ji Xiaomi squatted down and touched Xiao Hei's head, "But you don't have to come in. After all, I shouldn't be in any danger in the base."
Xiao Hei: [……]
Xiao Hei: [You...]
"Didn't I tell you to leave at the entrance of the base?" Ji Xiaomi looked at Xiao Hei with a sly smile, "Xiao Hei, are you so worried about me?"
Xiao Hei: […………]
Where has that sincere, cute and ignorant little girl gone?
Why did you become so sinister when you grew up?
【Haha, I just learned bad habits from you.】
Xiaonian ruthlessly complained.
[Who told you to do such wicked things and speak so rudely every day? Xiaomi learned that from you!]
[Bah! Stop talking nonsense! Are you also a bad person when it comes to talking?]
Xiao Hei was dissatisfied and angry.
Look, you're swearing again.
[……]
Ji Xiaomi listened to the two systems arguing and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
If they really want to pass the buck, neither of these two can escape.
Ji Xiaomi finished the remaining barbecue, then collected the garbage and put it into a garbage bag. Then he opened the door and placed the garbage bag beside the door, ready to throw it into the trash can when he went out tomorrow.
However, just as she bent down to put down the garbage bag, she heard footsteps approaching from afar.
She subconsciously turned her head and saw a man in black work clothes pinching his eyebrows in a slightly annoyed manner, then walking past her without looking away.
Finally, he walked to the next yard, opened the door and walked in.
Ji Xiaomi stared blankly until the door closed and she couldn't see the man anymore, but she didn't look away for a long time.
That is...
What a coincidence.
Xiaonian was silent for a few seconds and couldn't help but sigh.
This southern base is actually quite large. I didn’t expect to meet most of my acquaintances on the first day.
"Yeah, what a coincidence." Ji Xiaomi retracted her gaze, a complicated expression on her face, "I didn't expect to see you on the first day..."
dad.
After so many years, Ji Xiaomi no longer has the same feeling of intimacy with Ji Ruwen as she did when she was a child.
She had grown up and was sensible enough to know right from wrong. She also understood that Ji Ruwen was not a competent father.
She should hate Ji Ruwen.
but……
She also knew that Ji Ruwen really wanted to make amends to herself later.
It's just that they seem to miss it every time.
Therefore, Ji Xiaomi now has complicated feelings towards her father Ji Ruwen.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore." Ji Xiaomi exhaled, then entered the yard, "Anyway, I don't plan to recognize you this time."
She has grown up, and Ji Ruwen probably won't recognize her.
only……
"Thirteen years have passed, why do I feel like he hasn't changed at all?"
Ji Xiaomi squinted her eyes and found the blind spot.
【He was the first human to experience physical alteration.】
Xiaonian said.
[There are changes, but given the body's transformation, the changes are so small they can be ignored.]
Therefore, he looks no different from thirteen years ago and is still young.
Those who know him think he is Ji Xiaomi’s father, while those who don’t know him think he is her brother.
