Feng Li took Ji Yuzhi's mutterings as a rhetorical question and affirmed it.
"Yes, it's the Chinese Translation Cup."
What number?
Actually, he's free right now and could easily go. But because of his status—although he's under thorough investigation, he's still an official from outside the 245th arsenal—he doesn't dare agree easily.
"The 27th, one week from now."
"I'll think about it."
"Okay, let me know as soon as possible so I can reply to the other side." After saying that, Feng Li added, "If you're not too busy, you can come back and visit occasionally. Everyone misses you. Whenever you're around, everyone will be watching TV."
"knew."
Zhen Tian clung to his side, listening intently to everything Feng Li said.
“When I went to the studio before, everyone often talked about you.”
"Um."
"Will you go? For the competition!" Zhen Tian asked curiously.
"I'm not sure either, let's see." Ji Yuzhi glanced at the time: "It's getting late, go take a shower and go to bed."
"It's only nine o'clock. I'm not sleepy at all."
Good children go to bed early and get up early.
"I'm not a child."
"Go quickly!"
"Ouch."
Zhen Tian went to the bathroom, and during that time, Ji Yuzhi called Lu Ti, instructing her to have the stone delivered by express, and then talked for a long time.
He only managed to hang up the phone after Zhen Tian came out.
"Who should I call?" Zhen Tian asked, drying her hair.
"Aunt Lu, ask her to mail the stone over."
"oh oh."
Zhen Tian didn't delve into it further; how could she possibly get the information out of Ji Yuzhi if he didn't want to say it?
It was late at night, and both of them were fast asleep.
But Ji Yuzhi suddenly woke up, and his first reaction was to push the girl next to him.
"Sweet, sweet!"
Zhen Tian kept her eyes tightly closed, muttering incoherently, and waving her hands and feet wildly.
"Sweetie, you're having a nightmare. Just open your eyes and everything will be alright."
Ji Yuzhi gently called her name, and Zhen Tian suddenly opened her eyes.
He turned around and turned on the bedside lamp: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I was just having a nightmare."
“Zhizhi…” Zhen Tian came to her senses and snuggled into his arms: “I dreamt that you were arrested and sentenced to death. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t catch you.”
"No, no, trust me." Ji Yuzhi coaxed her, "You're having nightmares because you've been thinking too much during the day. Don't be afraid, even if you're arrested, your sentence will only be three to ten years at most. There won't be the death penalty. Don't be afraid."
"Not even three years!"
"Of course, I definitely won't get caught. Be good. Don't be afraid. Shall I tell you a story?"
"good……"
Ji Yuzhi propped himself up with his right arm and pulled Zhen Tian into a tight embrace.
"There is a person named..."
He deliberately lowered his voice as he spoke, while his hand patted Zhen Tian's back repeatedly.
With his left hand, he wiped away the sweat-dampened strands of her hair, which she was drenched in fear.
Zhen Tian fell asleep again as Ji Yuzhi narrated softly.
The next day, Zhen Tian slept very late and didn't remember her dream from the previous night very clearly. But she did remember that Zhizhi was eventually taken away.
"woke up?"
"Um."
"I'm going for a check-up this afternoon. You wait for me at home. Don't worry, it's just a routine check-up."
"Going again?" Zhen Tian asked with a worried expression.
"It's nothing." Ji Yuzhi stood up: "Go wash up and come out for dinner."
Zhen Tian didn't sleep well that night because of the nightmare, and after Ji Yuzhi left, she snuggled into bed for a nap.
Ji Yuzhi became more and more indifferent each time, and after being questioned, he even brought up the matter of being a judge in the translation competition.
He thought Sweetie would be happy to receive a positive reply.
When I got home, the house was pitch black.
The little girl usually sits on the sofa watching TV and drawing, but now the living room is empty.
He went upstairs and, sure enough, the little girl in the bedroom was sleeping soundly.
Ji Yuzhi quietly closed the door, pushed it out, and then dialed his parents' number.
The family is in a flurry of activity because of him, but he still needs to inform them about this matter at least a little bit.
After dealing with his parents, he called Ye Qingyan again.
After giving some instructions, he went into the kitchen.
Zhen Tian was awakened by the aroma wafting in through the window.
She looked up and saw that the bedroom window was open. It must have been Zhizhi who opened it when she came back.
After putting on her slippers, she walked downstairs in the dark, and the light gradually unfolded before her eyes.
"woke up!"
"Um...when did you get back?" She had no idea.
Ji Yuzhi glanced at his watch: "An hour ago."
"Then why didn't you wake me up?" Zhen Tian hugged him from behind, rubbing her cheek against his back.
"You didn't sleep well last night, what do I need you for?" Ji Yuzhi placed the dishes on the table, then picked up a glass and poured her a glass of water: "Have some water."
Zhen Tian took a sip.
"Drink it all."
"It doesn't taste good...it's not sweet at all." Zhen Tian pouted.
Helpless, Ji Yuzhi opened the refrigerator, scooped out a spoonful of honey, put it in her cup, and stirred it.
Zhen Tian took a sip; it was sweet and a little cool.
She finished drinking it in no time without Ji Yuzhi saying anything.
"How was today?" Zhen Tian asked, sitting in a chair and swinging her legs as she looked at him.
"Successfully." Ji Yuzhi scooped up a small half bowl of rice and handed it to her: "The higher-ups have also agreed that I can serve as a judge in the translation competition."
"Really?" Zhen Tian grinned.
"Would you like to go have some fun?"
“Go, go!” Zhen Tian nodded vigorously.
"Okay, then I'll agree." Ji Yuzhi smiled indulgently: "Eat up."
...
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
The weather in City S has also gotten much colder.
Before leaving, Ji Yuzhi helped Zhen Tian adjust her coat.
Zhen Tian was still reluctant: "Isn't it unnecessary to wear such thick clothes?"
She was originally wearing a pretty little dress underneath, but under Ji Yuzhi's coercion and enticement, she changed into a thick sweater.
"The venue isn't as warm as you think. If you get hot, take off your coat."
"All right."
Ji Yuzhi and Zhen Tian got into the car and were taken to the venue, where Zheng An and the others, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, were already waiting at the entrance.
"Little sister-in-law!" Wen Jiujiu, with her sharp eyes, was the first to spot Zhen Tian getting out of the car. She rushed over and hugged Zhen Tian, jumping up and down.
"Long time no see, Jiu Jiu!" Zhen Tian was also very happy to see her friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Boss." Zheng An rushed over and tried to hug Ji Yuzhi, but was pushed away by him.
Zheng An stumbled after being pushed by Ji Yuzhi, and feigned a submissive wife's expression: "Boss, you've changed!"
"Stop fooling around." Feng Li pulled Zheng An back: "Yu Zhi, long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Ji Yuzhi didn't hold back his smile when he saw his long-lost roommate.
"Let's go in first." Zhao Zeyuan came over and patted Ji Yuzhi on the shoulder.
Upon entering, a brief exchange of pleasantries with the person in charge was inevitable. Ji Yuzhi specifically emphasized that his identity should not be mentioned, given the sensitive nature of the occasion. Therefore, his role today was that of a previous champion of the competition.
"From now on, you'll stay with Wen Jiujiu. If anything happens, contact her by phone, okay?"
