Chapter 38 Chapter 38 New Year's Day Holiday...
Two days before the New Year's Day holiday, Ning Ji had a dinner with his roommates.
The atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant was lively. Gao Xing and his friends were clamoring for Ning Ji to pay for the meal. They pounded Ning Ji's shoulder and said, "You have to pay for this meal!"
"How long has it been since you recovered from your illness and played with us?"
"The game is online, duo-queuing with others, but you didn't respond when I invited you..."
Ning Ji smiled and raised his hands to beg for mercy, "I'll treat you, I'll treat you, this meal is on me."
Li Xiang put his arm around his shoulders and asked excitedly, "Tell me the truth, are you in love?"
Ning Ji took off his coat, revealing a white V-neck sweatshirt: "No talk."
Li Xiang raised his eyebrows, not believing it. "You're not in a relationship? If you're not in a relationship, what are you busy with every day?"
Gao Xing began to settle accounts: "Last week, we planned to go singing at the weekend. I called you and you said you were busy. What were you doing?"
Ning Ji spread his hands and said, "I really don't have time. I accompanied Yan Sui to the library to review. Their class has an exam on Monday."
Gao Xing: "Last week we agreed to go to the internet cafe to play games all night on Friday when we had no classes. Why didn't you go?"
Ning Ji: "I went to the movies with Yan Sui. That art film was only scheduled for one day, and it was only scheduled at 8pm."
Gao Xing and Li Xiang looked at each other and choked up: "You two have such a good relationship recently?"
Ning Ji thought about it and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Yan Sui recently.
They were so good that they even slept in the same bed a few nights ago. He didn't even sleep in the same bed when he graduated from high school and traveled with a few close friends.
He will bring Yan Sui home for dinner on New Year's Day.
Gao Xing plucked a strand of cat hair from his shoulder and exclaimed, "You're wearing his clothes?"
Ning Ji biting the cantaloupe: "How do you know?"
Gao Xing: "Didn't you tell us that he was the only one who would wear such flashy clothes in winter?"
Ning Ji, who was stabbed by the boomerang, coughed and looked down at the clothes he had mentioned a long time ago - an open V-neck sweatshirt that revealed a part of his collarbone.
In the past, Yan Sui would wear accessories on his exposed collarbones, and the shallow neckline paired with silver accessories was quite stylish.
Ning Ji was thin, so for Yan Sui, it was just a V-neck sweatshirt with a shallow neckline. It was much looser on him, revealing a large area of his white collarbone.
"My clothes were stained with cat hair, so I borrowed one from him. It's not that flashy actually." Ning Ji swallowed the cantaloupe in his mouth.
After dinner, Ning Ji went to the restroom and when he came out he found that Gao Xing and a few others had settled the bill and were taking him to sing.
Ning Ji habitually sent a message to Yan Sui to report his itinerary.
They went to a KTV they often went to. Ning Ji sat in the corner and was not very interested in singing. He would only sing when Gao Xing put her arm around his shoulders and asked him to.
The ghostly singing in the box lasted for more than two hours. The microphone was placed on the marble table. Li Xiang began to recall his first love in high school with sadness. Gao Xing on the side was also sad about his secret love that ended in vain.
The rest of the people in the dormitory all have partners. Ning Ji, who has no partner, no love history, and no secret crush history, sits on the sofa, pats Li Xiang's shoulder, then pats Gao Xing's shoulder, and comforts them endlessly.
The deeply sad Gao Xing turned his head away with emotion, "Fortunately, we have the youngest one."
The youngest nodded seriously, and the next second a video call popped up on his phone.
Ning Ji picked up the video call and saw a fluffy calico cat's head appear on the other end of the video. One of its paws was held by a hand and was shaking towards the camera.
After several seconds, the camera moved away, revealing half of Yan Sui's face. "The kitten has been meowing, Ning Ji. It may be missing you a little."
Ning Ji was immediately attracted, "Xiao Sanhua?"
"Well, it kept running into your room. I told it that you weren't coming back tonight, and it kept scratching at the door."
Ning Ji couldn't help laughing, "Is this true? Hasn't it always been lazy and unwilling to move? Why would it miss me?"
Yan Sui on the other end of the video: "Who knows, you are still singing?"
Ning Ji: "Yeah, she's still singing. After that, she might go out for a midnight snack. Are you hungry? Do you want me to pack you a midnight snack?"
Gao Xing at the side: “???”
He saw Ning Ji curled up on the sofa, lazily playing a video call, with the same expression as his other roommate who was calling his girlfriend to check on him, with curved eyebrows and eyes.
That's no different from being in love.
Whose good friend calls in the middle of the night like he’s checking on you?
Gao Xing was worried. When Ning Ji hung up the phone, he sat down next to him and tried to remind him: "Little boy, did Yan Sui call you?"
Ning Ji nodded: "Let me bring him some midnight snack later."
Gao Xing: "He doesn't know how to order takeout?"
Ning Ji: “It’s just a matter of convenience.”
Gao Xing looked gloomy: "Ya, do you know how long we usually talk if I call Li Xiang in the middle of the night and ask him to bring me some midnight snacks?"
Ning Ji turned his head: "How long?"
Gao Xing held up two fingers and said, "Two minutes, no more. One and a half minutes of that time was spent by Li Xiang cursing at me for being a troublemaker."
Ning Ji was puzzled: "Two minutes?"
Gao Xing: "You and Yan Sui are really weird. Whose good brother would call in the middle of the night to check on you and talk about cats and dogs? Are you bored and have nothing better to do?"
Ning Ji had his own reasons to convince himself, "When we first became close friends, isn't that how feelings develop?"
He patted Gao Xing's shoulder and said seriously, "I'll bring you midnight snacks next time too."
Gao Xing: “…”
Ning Ji turned his head and glanced at the other people in the dormitory, then moved closer to Gao Xing and consoled him, "I'll only take care of you."
Gao Xing: “…”
It's all unnecessary to say.
Ning Ji was like a little kid, and I thought he was jealous because Ning Ji had a close friend.
Gao Xing pushed Ning Ji's head helplessly, "Come on, no need to bring him, just be more careful. If he keeps clinging to you, just ignore him."
Ning Ji: "Okay."
He agreed on the surface, but actually he began to reflect on himself - during the time when he had a broken bone, he needed Yan Sui to help him take off his pants when he wanted to pee.
Because he could only move one hand, he was so bored that he would call Yan Sui's name every few minutes. When Yan Sui didn't hear him, he would push the wheelchair with one hand around the house looking for Yan Sui to play with.
Ning Ji had to admit that he was a little immature and unstable in some aspects, and also admitted that Gao Xing was right and that he couldn't always be so clingy.
So in the early morning, after he brought home the grilled skewers and casserole porridge, he coolly put the midnight snack on the table, coolly knocked on Yan Sui's bedroom door, and coolly called Yan Sui out for the midnight snack.
Then his cool face immediately fell when Yan Sui told him that he might not be able to go back with him on New Year's Day.
"Aren't you going back with me? Why? Didn't we agree on this? The plane tickets have been purchased."
Yan Sui showed an apologetic expression, raised his hand to touch his drooping brows, and whispered: "I'm sorry, it happened rather suddenly."
"My father said that what happened was related to the will my grandfather made."
Ning Ji knew that Yan Sui and his grandfather grew up together and had a deep relationship, so he immediately shook his head and said, "It's okay, no need to apologize. Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Yan Sui: "Yes, the flight is at 6:20 in the morning."
Ning Ji was stunned and glanced at his phone, "Why don't you go and rest?"
Yan Sui: "I'm afraid that you won't get up when I leave tomorrow, so I want to stay with you for a while before I leave."
He spoke bluntly, with a frank look in his eyes, looking at Ning Ji intently.
——
"I'm leaving. My two kittens have also been checked in by air and will be home with me."
"I'm going to check in now. I'll message you when I get there."
At the airport, Ning Ji was wearing a cream-white short down jacket and khaki wide-leg pants, and he looked particularly fresh and clean.
He pulled his suitcase and sent several voice messages to Yan Sui. As he did so, he felt cool and thankful that he was not as clingy as Yan Sui.
Even his good brothers couldn't bear to leave him when they returned home.
The mature and steady Ning Ji stopped in his tracks and sent another voice message: "I just had a bowl of noodles at the airport, but it wasn't as delicious as the ones you made."
Three and a half hours later, the plane arrived in Quan City in the evening. As soon as Ning Ji got off the plane, he ran out of the airport with his two kittens.
Ms. Lian and Mr. Ning had been waiting for him. Ning Ji carried two kittens and walked coolly to Ms. Lian, calling out, "Mom."
Ms. Lian rubbed his head affectionately, and Ning's father went to pull his suitcase with a smile.
Ning Ji immediately started talking more, and he could no longer maintain his cool look, and he talked excitedly all the way in the car.
He told Ms. Lian that he had recently become good friends with a classmate he hated in high school, and then he leaned his head out and sighed, "Mom, it's strange that I used to think he was annoying."
Ms. Lian smiled and asked, "You guys also have a kitten together?"
Ning Ji: "We can say that we raised them together."
On New Year's Day, Ning's father went out early to buy groceries. Ning Ji, who had just woken up from a late sleep, saw Ms. Lian playing with two kittens in the living room.
He took two photos and sent them to Yan Sui.
In the evening, Ning's father cooked a large table of dishes. Ning Ji took a photo of the dishes on the table and sent it to Yan Sui, asking Yan Sui what he wanted to eat in the evening.
It took a while for Yan Sui to send a message.
Y: Have a big meal^_^
Ning's father called for dinner. Ning Ji put down his phone, took out three cans of coconut milk from the refrigerator, and handed them to Ms. Lian and Ning's father. The three of them clinked glasses and wished each other good health and peace in the new year.
at the same time.
Yan's house.
The huge restaurant was in a mess. The table was overturned, soup was spilled all over the floor, and a stack of photos was thrown on the ground. The profile of a black-haired boy could be vaguely seen from the corner.
Yan Sui slowly put his phone into his pocket, raised his head and looked at Yan Qihan with a smile, "You used Grandpa's will to trick me back, just for this?"
Yan Qihan's face turned pale and he angrily scolded: "You can still laugh? You don't want to learn good things, but only learn bad things! You like a man! And you go to that kind of restaurant with a man!"
"You have brought shame to the Yan family!"
Yan Sui seemed a little surprised: "I thought the Yan family had lost face the year your investment failed and your grandfather went to handle it for you."
"So the Yan family still has something like shamelessness?"
Yan Qihan almost fainted from anger, and cursed with a trembling voice: "Asshole! Asshole!"
"Is this what your grandfather taught you? Did he let you turn the table over with your father for a man?"
Yan Sui smiled and said, "That's just the beginning. If you scold him a few more times, I will even smash the whole hall for you."
Jiang Wanyi frowned slightly, "Xiao Sui, how can you talk to your father like this just because of a boy outside?"
"Your father is doing this for your own good. We checked that boy's parents are both professors. He doesn't have much family background. It's normal for him to approach you just for money."
"We are also worried that you might be approached by someone with ill intentions. This is all for your own good."
Yan Sui pretended to be surprised: "Just like Aunt Jiang back then? Her family didn't have much wealth, but she approached my dad with bad intentions just for money?"
Jiang Wanyi's face froze and looked a little ugly.
Yan Sui looked sincere: "Aunt Jiang was getting pregnant to force my dad to marry her, right? But the person I like is a boy and I can't get pregnant. Aunt Jiang, why don't you teach me how to tie him down?"
Jiang Wanyi's face was extremely ugly, and she forced a smile: "Xiao Sui, stop joking."
Yan Sui smiled: "I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
Yan Qihan was furious, smashed the plate, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You are really rebellious! Are you worthy of your grandfather?"
"Your grandfather has placed great hopes on you. Do you dare to go to his grave and say that you want to be with a boy?"
Yan Sui: "Why not?"
He smiled and said, "If I could be with him, I would not only go to my grandfather's grave and tell him that I was with a boy, I would also beat gongs and drums to celebrate for my grandfather that I found such a good partner."
"What about this little prodigy? He skipped grades when he was young and got admitted to University A before he even reached adulthood. If my grandfather in the underworld saw me find such a partner, wouldn't he be so happy?"
"Especially after a fool like Yan Zhuoming appeared in the Yan family."
The little fat boy on the sofa heard his name and was scolded, and burst into tears.
The phone in my pocket vibrated twice and a message popped up.
Ning Xiaomao: I'm full
Ning Xiaomao: Are you still eating?
Yan Sui looked at Yan Qiuhan, who was shaking with anger and repeatedly calling him a bastard, Jiang Wanyi, who was comforting her son with great heartache, and the little fat boy who was crying loudly on the sofa, and replied to Ning Ji lightly.
Y: Yes, I’m drinking porridge^_^
It's a mess now, we have to drink it while it's hot.
