Chapter 138 Expired Love
"Well, I just wanted to say, I heard it."
After Chaolu walked into the kitchen, the restaurant became completely quiet.
Ji Xiaomi thought for a while before saying this.
She heard Chaoyang wishing her a happy birthday.
She heard it.
Chaoyang was slightly startled, and then he felt sweet in his heart.
Xiaomi cares about him.
I will also mention it specifically to take his feelings into consideration.
so……
His chances of winning are very good!
"I..." Chaoyang felt his throat was a little dry as he opened his mouth, so he quickly covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "I like..."
"Chaoyang!"
Before he could finish his words, Chaolu's voice suddenly exploded from the kitchen.
It directly interrupted Chaoyang’s confession.
Chaoyang: “…”
Sister, what on earth are you doing?
Chaoyang took a deep breath and replied with a rather hopeless look, "Sister, what are you doing?"
"Come here!" Chaolu said, poking her head out of the kitchen and waving at Ji Xiaomi. "Xiaomi, it's getting late, you should go back and get some rest!"
Ji Xiaomi was confused: "Ah... Oh, okay. Sister Zhaolu, you should rest early too."
"Uh-huh!"
After a while, Ji Xiaomi returned to the next yard, washed up quickly and went to bed.
But... I can't sleep.
because……
Was the sentence Chaoyang didn’t finish saying just now “I like you”?
Are you confessing your feelings to her?
Fortunately, Sister Chaolu interrupted her, otherwise she wouldn’t know how to respond.
She's still a little confused...
On this side, the girl is thinking about her own affairs, while on the other side, the kitchen instantly turns into an interrogation scene.
"Brother, I almost forgot that you like Xiaomi!"
Chaolu finally remembered what was wrong.
"You beast, Xiaomi is our sister! She just came of age today, how dare you do that!?"
Chaoyang was bombarded with questions:???
"Sister, didn't you support me before?" Chaoyang was stunned. "Isn't your attitude changing too quickly?"
Zhaolu glared at him. "That's because I didn't know Moyi was Xiao Mi! When we were little, we always treated Xiao Mi like our own sister. Now you tell me you like Xiao Mi, that's too weird, isn't it?"
Moreover, she had previously thought that Moyi was already an adult, but Xiaomi only turned eighteen today, which made her feel even more guilty.
Isn't this definitely trafficking of underage girls?
Well……
It seems like a misnomer.
Oh, that’s what I mean!
"...Is it possible that we have no blood relationship with Xiaomi?" Chaoyang said expressionlessly, "Sister, are you getting a little too caught up in the drama?"
When he first knew Xiaomi's identity, he felt strange, but he soon realized it - that's not right, he and Xiaomi are not biological siblings. When they were young, they called each other brother and sister, so isn't that small?
At most, they are childhood sweethearts!
"Uh..." Chaolu thought for a moment and realized that what her younger brother said seemed to be correct. "But Xiaomi is still young..."
"She's an adult today, so it's not considered puppy love."
Chaolu: “…”
That’s right.
Then the kitchen fell into silence.
After a while, Chaoyang's voice sounded again in the kitchen: "Sister, do you have any other questions?"
“…It should be gone.”
Chaoyang nodded calmly: "Okay, then I'll be leaving first."
His confession was interrupted, and he had to think carefully about what to do next.
"Wait a minute, now..."
"Not yet." Chaoyang looked at Zhaolu helplessly, "I'm still working hard to be your dear brother."
Chaolu: "Tsk, what a dish."
Chaoyang: “…”
I was ridiculed.
…
…
Ji Xiaomi had insomnia last night, so she didn't get out of bed until noon the next day.
【Haven't decided yet? 】
Xiaonian asked leisurely.
"Stop! Stop gloating!"
[Am I that kind of person? I'm going to tell you something from the bottom of my heart today—dating is simple. If you like someone, date them. If you don't, reject them.]
Xiaonian also didn't understand why his sister was so twisted and entangled?
I was looking forward to it when I didn't know Chaoyang's identity, so why did I hesitate after I found out?
He had persuaded himself to accept his sister's relationship, but his sister hesitated instead.
It's a bit difficult to fix him.
"I...I know, but it's just awkward." Ji Xiaomi rubbed her hair irritably, "It's like being separated from my brother when I was a child, and not recognizing him as an adult but falling in love with him!
For example, if we were lost as children, but fell in love when we grew up, wouldn’t that be strange?”
【……】
【Don't give an example that is so easy to be blocked. 】
Xiaonian was speechless.
Let’s talk about Chaoyang, don’t bring him into this.
"oh."
Ji Xiaomi also knew that the example she gave was a bit inappropriate, so she coughed awkwardly.
"Anyway, that's how it feels!"
So she is very conflicted.
"Brother, can you understand?"
I don't understand.
Xiaonian responded decisively.
Ji Xiaomi: "...Oh."
Let her dwell on it for a while.
[People who fall in love are so scary~]
Xiao Heirui on the side commented.
[It’s still more comfortable to be a cat~]
No matter how conflicted I am, today is her 18th birthday, her coming-of-age ceremony, and I must prepare well!
So Ji Xiaomi put the matter aside for the time being and started choosing clothes.
"Hmm... this one is too plain."
"This combination is a bit too grand, like cosplay."
After choosing for a long time, I finally chose a set of skirt and pants.
Just as I changed, there was a knock on the door.
Ji Xiaomi ran over and found that it was Chaoyang Chaolu, and Ye Duo.
"Good afternoon." Ye Duo said with a smile, "Let's go and have lunch."
Ji Xiaomi nodded, and just as she walked out of the yard, she saw the gift bag hanging on the yard door.
She was stunned for a moment, then took down the gift bag and asked, "Who gave this to you?"
"It wasn't given by us. It was already hanging on the door when we arrived." Chaoyang said softly, but his head tilted to the right. "It should be... it's him."
Ji Xiaomi couldn't help but look in the direction of the rising sun. There was no one there, but her father lived next door to her.
Yes, apart from the three of them, the only one who knew her birthday was Ji Ruwen.
She was a little stunned and tightened her grip on the gift bag.
"Don't think too much about it. It's already past eleven o'clock. Aren't you hungry?" Chaolu patted Ji Xiaomi's shoulder gently. "Let's go. Or, do you want to call your dad?"
Ji Xiaomi hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "No, let's go."
When she was a child, Ji Ruwen never accompanied her on her birthday.
Because her birthday is also her mother's death anniversary.
So Ji Ruwen always left her alone at home.
She also doesn't allow her aunt to buy her cake.
In fact, at that time she didn't care whether to eat cake or not.
She just...
I hope my dad is with her.
but……
Not so much now.
