Chapter 497 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 49
Without any delay, Lu Jingxun went straight there.
Today, Jiang Liangcai and Wang Huilan took Jinjin and Yinyin to the town hospital for vaccinations. They also went to a relative's house for a banquet in the afternoon and wouldn't be back until evening.
Jiang Zhiyi leaned against a recliner under a tree, enjoying the breeze, and closed her eyes to sleep.
She had just washed her hair, but since she didn't need a hairdryer in this weather, she came out to the yard.
Only a dozen minutes later, my hair was already half dry.
"Why are you sleeping here?" Lu Jingxun quietly sat down next to her, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over her and landing on her still slightly damp hair.
The ends of her hair were still covered with glistening water droplets, which were falling one by one.
There were also traces of water droplets on the ground, shimmering with tiny sparkles in the sunlight.
He asked softly, "Would you like your hair dried?"
Jiang Zhiyi's hair is very long, hanging from her shoulders to her waist, making it very troublesome to manage and requiring a long time to style each time.
But Lu Jingxun actually quite enjoyed helping her with these things.
Whenever they were alone together, he took over these trivial tasks.
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head and said, "No need, it will dry in the wind soon."
She changed her posture and covered her eyes with the eye mask again.
"I want to take a nap here for a while, you stay here with me."
Jiang Zhiyi liked to sleep here, but she was afraid that bugs would fall from the tree. In the past, Jiang Qiujin or Jiang Qiuyin would help watch over it. Although the two of them would eventually fall asleep on her, Jiang Zhiyi felt more at ease.
Since the two little ones weren't around, she called Lu Jingxun over.
Lu Jingxun held her hand and said, "Then you go to sleep, I won't leave."
"Mm," Jiang Zhiyi replied.
Neither of them spoke again.
It was afternoon, a gentle breeze was blowing, the leaves were rustling, and only the occasional chirping of cicadas came from the treetops.
Lu Jingxun looked down at her, repeatedly rehearsing what he would say to her after she woke up.
The matter will have to be addressed sooner or later, and there is no such thing as a suitable time; it's just an excuse to delay.
Now is the best time to be honest with her about everything.
About twenty minutes later, Jiang Zhiyi woke up, slightly raised her eyelids, and let out a long yawn.
She rolled over and continued lying there, not intending to get up for the time being, completely immersed in the comfort of the afternoon.
Seeing this, Lu Jingxun took a deep breath and said, "I'm going back to Beijing in a few days."
Jiang Zhiyi's eyes, which had been a little dazed, immediately focused. She looked up at him and asked, "Going back in a few days? When are you coming back? Beijing is so far away from here, it must take you several days to get back, right?"
Lu Jingxun lowered his eyes, feeling conflicted.
He knew very well that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would not be returning to this place.
But these are things I definitely can't tell her directly.
After thinking for a moment, he said carefully, "I have things to do over there, and I don't know how long I'll be busy. After I'm done, I... will come pick you up. You can come to Beijing with me. I'll find you a school there, okay?"
Jiang Zhiyi frowned.
She's not stupid; everything he said afterward was nonsense, and he didn't answer her question directly at all.
"So when are you coming back?" Jiang Zhiyi continued to confirm. "You're not going to stay here any longer, are you?"
Lu Jingxun paused, realizing that what she said was indeed correct.
He could only nod nervously and say, "My home isn't here. I'm just here temporarily to recuperate. Now that my leg injury has healed, I have to go home."
He explained patiently.
Jiang Zhiyi's brows furrowed deeper, and her voice carried a hint of grievance, "Then...then we have to break up?"
She blinked, her eyes slightly reddening, as if she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Lu Jingxun quickly reassured her, saying, "No, we won't separate. I'll come pick you up after I've taken care of things over there, and we'll go to Beijing together. We'll still be together."
Jiang Zhiyi: "But I'm not going to Beijing. My home is here."
Lu Jingxun: "Your home is here, but it won't run away. You're just going to school outside, and you can come home during holidays. Didn't you tell me you wanted to go to school? I'll take you to Beijing to study and arrange a school for you. I'm sure you'll like it."
Jiang Zhiyi was silent for a while, then shook her head vigorously, her tone becoming somewhat agitated: "I don't believe it. When are you talking about 'then'? You're lying to me. You just want to leave. Once you leave, you won't come back, and you won't come to pick me up."
"I'm not lying to you, everything I said is true."
"Then why don't you take me with you now? Why are you waiting?" she asked again.
Lu Jingxun remained silent for a moment, his gaze slightly lowered, his brows furrowed, pondering how to explain to Jiang Zhiyi.
It's really inconvenient for him to take her directly to Beijing right now; he needs to figure out how to deal with the Lu family first.
He could only take her there once he was absolutely certain that everything was in order.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Lu Jingxun quickly replied, "I still have some things to take care of, but it will be quick, you can wait for me at home."
However, Jiang Zhiyi clearly did not believe her. "You're lying. There's nothing to deal with at all. It's all just an excuse."
Lu Jingxun could only emphasize again: "Believe me, I really didn't lie. You don't need to worry about anything, I will never abandon you."
"How can I trust you? You just want to dump me now!" Perhaps because a few words in his words provoked her, Jiang Zhiyi's emotions suddenly surged, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels as she questioned him with a sob in her voice.
Lu Jingxun's heart skipped a beat, and he was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He had no idea what to do.
Since they got together, he has also learned about some of Jiang Zhiyi's "special" circumstances.
Her emotions cannot fluctuate too much, and she cannot be stimulated.
"Don't get agitated..."
Just as he was thinking about how to appease her, Jiang Zhiyi's emotions suddenly seemed to be brought to a screeching halt. Her previously agitated expression instantly cooled, becoming unusually calm.
However, this calmness made people inexplicably uneasy.
Lu Jingxun subconsciously reached out to hug her, but as soon as his hand touched her shoulder, she pushed him away forcefully.
Immediately afterward, tears welled up in Jiang Zhiyi's eyes, large teardrops rolling down her cheeks as she cried, "You're lying! You're just lying to me, you're definitely not coming back..."
She cried even harder, almost unable to breathe, and sobbed as she added, "Even your name is fake!"
