"This girl has finally fallen for love, how rare!"
Ji Xia chuckled and teased in a low voice. Rong Ruoshi blushed, lowered her head, and smiled silently.
However, she quickly looked up and asked hesitantly, "How old is your brother? Does he have a girlfriend or wife?"
Ji Xia thought for a moment and remembered that her third brother also got married very late in her previous life, and didn't have a son until he was almost thirty.
However, whether things have changed in this lifetime, she wasn't quite sure.
After all, it had been fifteen or sixteen years since the third brother was adopted.
"To be honest, I'm not really sure either, since we haven't seen each other for many years. But I'll ask later?"
Rong Ruoshi nodded shyly and then asked about Ji Yuanjun's adoption.
I heard about this in my previous life. Since I was reborn, my family hasn't mentioned this third brother for a long time.
"Actually, I only know a little bit. My dad has a younger brother, and they joined the army together back then."
“My uncle is more capable than my father. He has made many contributions and has been in the army for a long time. My aunt is the head nurse of the military hospital. I have a cousin who is a year older than me.”
Ji Xia sighed, her voice lowering slightly: "My mother told me what happened next. My uncle took my cousin out on vacation one time, but they encountered a gang of bandits. He rescued a pregnant woman who had been kidnapped, but my cousin was shot in the heart and died on the spot."
Upon hearing this, Rong Ruoshi couldn't help but gasp, a look of solemn respect appearing on her face: "Their sacrifices for the prosperity and stability of the country are too great."
Ji Xia shrugged: "Yeah, that time, not only did my aunt vomit blood from heartache, but my mom also cried herself silly. Because my aunt had a difficult childbirth and severe bleeding, she couldn't have any more children. So my dad agreed to give my third brother to my uncle."
People in the 1960s and 70s always felt that they had to have descendants. If there were really no descendants in the family, they would adopt a son who was a close blood relative.
Although Secretary Ji, a grown man, was reluctant, he felt that his youngest son would have a better future with his younger brother than with him, so he agreed after a few days of consideration.
Ji's mother was reluctant to let go, but how could she change her husband's decision? No matter how reluctant she was, under her husband's daily brainwashing, she felt that following her brother-in-law would lead to a bright future, and eventually she let go of her reluctance.
Later, when the grandson appeared, the youngest son, whom they hadn't seen for many years, was naturally not mentioned in that way.
After hearing Ji Xia recount the whole story, Rong Ruoshi sighed with a melancholy expression: "I wonder if your third brother was very sad when he was sent away back then?"
Ji Xia shook her head; she really hadn't thought about that question.
When her third brother was taken away, she was not even ten years old. Having been reborn, she never imagined what her third brother was thinking back then.
As the two were chatting, Ji Yuanjun came over carrying a net basket of plums and longans.
Upon seeing Ji Yuanjun, Rong Ruoshi couldn't help but stare at his features, blushing.
Ji Yuanjun has a distinct facial structure, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a handsome and resolute face with a smile on his face. He stands straight and walks like a tall and upright poplar tree.
Recalling his heroic figure during the rescue that afternoon, Rong Ruoshi's heart couldn't help but race.
Ji Yuanjun immediately looked at Rong Ruoshi's hands, which were wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and asked her about her condition with concern.
Rong Ruoshi subconsciously reached to brush a strand of hair behind her ear, only to realize that her hand was wrapped in a white ball. She shook her head shyly, "Much better, it doesn't hurt that much!"
Ji Xia chuckled to himself, "You didn't say that just now, Third Brother. My classmate is a pampered young lady. She's been spoiled since she was a child. She'll cry for ages over a small scrape. She's the most delicate person ever."
"I never imagined that one day this pampered young lady would dare to fight a madman with just a bottle of water and even catch someone's watermelon knife with her bare hands."
Rong Ruoshi wanted to say that it was too exaggerated, but seeing the heartache and admiration in Ji Yuanjun's eyes, she shyly bit her lower lip.
Well, her good friend wouldn't harm her, and besides, Ji Xia had been dating and marrying Chen Jing for a long time, so she definitely understands men better than she does.
Ji Xia praised Rong Ruoshi in various ways, then asked about the case: "What's wrong with that man? Why would he attack students outside the elementary school? Look at the watermelon knife he had prepared beforehand, he was planning to kill them!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanjun's expression darkened slightly: "It's fortunate that Miss Rong was here today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable if we hadn't taken it seriously."
He briefly explained the situation: the man's son had congenital heart disease, and his wife, unable to bear the poverty at home, had an affair with the factory manager.
The man accidentally discovered that his wife and factory manager were cheating on him. He beat the two of them up, and then the factory manager found a pretext to fire him.
The man suddenly lost his source of income, and with his son suffering from this illness, he was filled with despair. He abandoned his son at home and planned to take revenge on society by killing a few elementary school students before dying.
After learning the details of the case and the man's thoughts, Ji Xia and Rong Ruoshi were both stunned.
Is this person mentally ill? His wife and factory manager cheated on him, and then he was fired, but instead of taking revenge on the adulterous couple, society, and innocent elementary school students?
A man who takes revenge on society at the drop of a hat because of life's disappointments is an antisocial personality. Such a person should be destroyed!
After Ji Yuanjun finished speaking, he bowed solemnly to Rong Ruoshi: "What happened today has been exposed. I will apply to my superiors for merit for your work on the children's injuries. Please take good care of yourself and get back to work as soon as possible."
Rong Ruoshi blushed and quickly waved her hand.
Ji Xia glanced at her friend's shy and embarrassed face, then suddenly rubbed her lower back: "Third Brother, I want to get up and walk around. They all say that pregnant women shouldn't always lie down. Will you come with me?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanjun glanced at Rong Ruoshi with reluctance before helping Ji Xia out of the ward and taking a slow walk in the corridor.
Walking to the window in the long corridor, Ji Xia leaned against the wall to rest, and asked with a light laugh, "Brother, have you married a sister-in-law yet?"
Ji Yuanjun glanced nervously at her slightly protruding belly, then shook his head with a faint smile: "No."
"You're already twenty-six this year, right? Aren't you planning to find a partner?" Ji Xia asked curiously, her heart filled with joy.
Ji Yuanjun sighed: "I used to be always on missions and couldn't take care of my personal life. Now that I've been transferred back to civilian life, my uncle and aunt said they would introduce me to someone."
"What kind of girls do Dad and Mom know, living in the countryside every day?"
Ji Xia suddenly grabbed his wrist and chuckled, "Third Brother, what do you think of my classmate? She just graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts last year, a college student, has never been in a relationship, is beautiful, has a good personality, is kind-hearted, and her family is from Beijing. Both of her older brothers are married, so she has no burdens. Do you like her?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanjun blushed slightly, but fortunately, his dark complexion concealed the change in his expression.
He said in a low voice, "She's a college student from Beijing, I'm afraid she wouldn't be interested in me."
Ji Xia laughed upon hearing this: "You're wrong. I originally thought she was indifferent by nature and didn't like men. I introduced her to a few men during college, but she never liked any of them. But she took a liking to you at first sight and said that the way you saved people was too handsome."
