Just as Lu Ti was gritting her teeth, Ji Yuzhi knocked on Zhen Tian's door.
"Come in," Zhen Tian called out softly.
When Ji Yu opened the door, he saw Zhen Tianni snuggling in Lu Ti's arms. He smiled naturally and greeted Lu Ti, "Aunt Lu."
“Sigh…” Lu Ti sighed, “We’ve only been back for a few days, and we have to leave again.”
"Mommy~~~"
Ji Yuzhi's brow twitched, and he exchanged a glance with Zhen Tian in Lu Ti's arms. The little girl gave him a sly smile.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Lu, it's a problem with my work." Ji Yuzhi habitually took the blame.
"It has nothing to do with you. It's this girl's heart that's wandered off." Lu Ti smacked Zhen Tian's forehead twice.
Hehehe.
"You and Yu Zhi are so lovey-dovey, why don't you just marry him already?" Lu Ti said sourly. "Go be a daughter of the Ji family, and stop spending your father's and my money. While we're still young, let's have another child. We don't need you anymore."
"Oh, Mom!" Zhen Tian glanced at Ji Yuzhi, who was looking at her with a half-smile. She turned her face away shyly, "What marriage? I haven't even thought about whether or not I want to marry him yet."
"I haven't decided yet, then take off your engagement ring." Lu Ti pretended to take off Zhen Tian's ring.
"No. You're not allowed to pick them."
Zhen Tian reacted quickly, immediately using her right hand to protect her left hand, preventing Lu Ti from touching it.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to get married?" Lu Ti teased her.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I haven't thought it through." Zhen Tian covered her face as she spoke, "Oh, Mom, please stop talking."
"snort."
Lu Ti patted her daughter hard on the back.
Ji Yuzhi stood to the side watching the two of them, a warm smile on his face.
“You too.” Lu Ti saw him laughing and beckoned him over. “Still in school? Why work so hard? I didn’t fatten you up over the New Year. You’ve lost so much weight…”
"It's alright, Aunt Lu."
"What do you mean 'nothing'? You need to take good care of yourself." Lu Ti patted his forehead lightly: "Don't overwork yourself."
"I know," Ji Yuzhi agreed to everything.
"In the blink of an eye, you've all grown up so much."
Lu Ti sniffed, suddenly becoming sentimental. She hadn't noticed it before, but today, as she sat by the window and Xiao Yuzhi stood in front of her, she realized that the child had grown into such a tall and handsome young man without her noticing.
She touched Ji Yuzhi's hair twice: "You were only this tall when you first came to Aunt Lu's house."
Lu Ti gestured with her hands to indicate her height: "You were so skinny and small when you were little. Seeing how tall you've grown now, Aunt Lu is so proud. All those years of feeding you haven't been in vain. I never thought this little brat would still look like a child even though she's grown up."
"Mom! You can praise me if you want, but why do you have to praise one person and belittle the other?" Zhen Tian pouted unhappily.
Ji Yuzhi lowered his head and smiled faintly.
"I don't even know what I'm thinking." Lu Ti patted her cheeks to clear her head: "Even if I marry you in the future, we'll still be a family, just like we are now."
“We will always be a family.” Ji Yuzhi rested his head on Lu Ti’s lap, just like when they were children.
"You've worked hard away from home. Please take good care of this child for Aunt Lu. She's always listened to you since she was little."
"Don't worry, Sweetie is just as important to me."
"Alright, Aunt Lu won't disturb your private conversation any longer. Help her tidy up, I'll go out and cook for you."
After Lu Ti finished speaking, she lifted her leg and left the room.
"Zhizhi~ Mommy doesn't seem very happy." Zhen Tian sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her little legs, with a worried look on her face.
Ji Yuzhi leaned down and kissed her on the corner of her lips, then stood up, rubbed her head, and sat down beside her: "Aunt Lu misses you and doesn't want you to leave."
"Hmm, I'll miss my mom a little too."
Ji Yuzhi lifted Zhen Tian's two little legs and placed them on his lap. Zhen Tian naturally wrapped her arms around Ji Yuzhi's neck. With a little effort, the little girl sat sideways on his lap, her head resting on his left shoulder.
"Let's go back later."
"But I can't bear to part with you either."
This topic has reached a dead end.
Ji Yuzhi remained silent for a while: "I will try my best to buy a property for Uncle and Aunt Lu in S City so that they can move in anytime."
"Go live there?"
"Yes, just have them come over whenever you want."
"Okay." Zhen Tian smiled, but her smile quickly faded: "Houses in S City are so expensive, you'll be very tired."
"No. I'm not tired of anything as long as you're happy."
"Zhizhi~" Zhen Tian's eyes welled up with tears: "How can you be so kind?"
"Because you deserve it."
Zhen Tian was about to cry. She couldn't take Zhizhi's sweet talk anymore. She felt strange and wanted to kiss him.
I thought about it, and I did it.
She kissed Ji Yuzhi's lips, and for a few seconds their lips touched, Ji Yuzhi's heart skipped a beat.
It felt different from the kisses before. Zhen Tian recalled how she used to just kiss her and tentatively sucked on it, like a toddler learning to walk, doing whatever came to mind without any rhyme or reason.
Ji Yuzhi couldn't hold back any longer. He pressed Zhen Tian's nape down and kissed her deeply.
This kiss was more passionate and intense than ever before. Zhen Tian was so stunned that her mind went blank, and she could only follow Ji Yuzhi's movements. Her breathing became much more rapid.
They kissed for a long time, so long that Zhen Tian felt she was about to burst into flames. Only then did Ji Yuzhi release her.
Finally, he kissed her on the lips before letting go.
Ji Yuzhi's breathing was also uneven. He held Zhen Tian in his arms to calm his breathing and the restlessness in his body.
He's 21 years old, and next year he'll reach the legal marriage age.
If it weren't for the fact that Tian Tian wasn't yet eligible, he would have wanted to take her to get a marriage certificate anytime, anywhere. Only with that certificate would he truly become the person who could accompany her for life.
Zhen Tian felt him holding her a little tighter and let out a soft moan in Ji Yuzhi's arms. Her hands and feet began to move restlessly.
"Let me hold you for a while."
Ji Yuzhi buried his face in the crook of her neck, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.
He was so busy that he didn't even have time to hug Zhen Tian. He thought back for a moment and realized he didn't even know what he had been busy with.
This time too, if he hadn't left, Sweetie could have stayed at home for a few more days.
"Zhizhi~" Zhen Tian called to him.
It also pulled him out of his self-blame.
"I'm having trouble breathing," Zhen Tian said in a low voice, making a funny face.
"You."
Ji Yuzhi bumped his forehead against Zhen Tian's forehead, then released her.
"Let's pack our bags." He calmed down.
"I really like you."
