"Grandma is fine. Aunt Wang next door is here to help take care of her for me."
"I had a play audition here, so I came over. I didn't expect to run into you."
Seeing Ji Jiamu's happy expression, Jiang Lai couldn't smile.
"Jiamu, Ruanruan told you those things..."
"You don't have to tell me."
Ji Jiamu interrupted her, "From now on, you will just be my elder sister. If you need anything, just call me. Although I have no power, I will do my best to protect you."
Jiang Lai felt mixed emotions, "Then there's no need to risk your life."
"Sister, why did you suddenly come to Lincheng? Are you on a business trip?"
Ji Jiamu tried to change the subject, but Jiang Lai had to make things clear.
"Jia Mu, I think we should keep our distance. From the moment you liked me, if I can't reciprocate your love, then we can't even be friends."
"I went to Licheng with you before because I wanted to know the truth about what happened that night in Haicheng, and I also really needed to relax."
"Don't worry, it's gone."
Ji Jiamu's smile was bitter.
He had thought that he would never have the chance to see Jiang Lai again.
He only prayed that God would let her be healthy and happy. If he created a new world for himself in the future, and she was unhappy, he would do his best to take her away.
But now, God makes them meet again.
Isn't this fate?
But this reason is probably just an excuse for myself to comfort myself.
She doesn't care at all.
"elder sister……"
Jiang Lai interrupted, "I can't stay here anymore. Just pretend you haven't seen me."
After she finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
The proprietress thought she had something to ask and stopped her to ask.
Jiang Lai just said that there was something urgent.
The lady boss returned the money to her and said, "Sister, I will definitely take good care of it."
"good."
Jiang Lai asked around along the way and finally found a courtyard house for rent.
One room for personal rent.
No need to record on the computer to register, just need to sign a rental contract.
Jiang Lai also gave her some extra money because it was inconvenient for her to go out all the time.
The landlord is required to prepare meals.
No social media access either.
Fortunately, the company is now on the right track, and Ruan Nanzhi can handle it alone.
No, Zhou Fang is still there to help.
She just connected to the wireless and found a movie to watch.
I fell asleep when I felt sleepy.
…
Chi family.
Lunch time.
Chi Lin came to Chi Zhan's room.
Chi Zhan had nothing to do, so he sat on the sofa and read a book.
But Chi Lin felt that his young master would definitely not be able to read that book.
"Master, Madam asked you to come downstairs for dinner."
Chi Zhan refused, "No blind date."
Chi Lin had expected this and was not surprised. He always had a gentle smile on his face.
Chi Zhan was quite puzzled.
People like Chi Lin who spend most of their time in the dark, after hard and rigorous training, followed his father into middle age.
Logically speaking, it should not be visible.
But he always has a smiling face.
"Master, please, I'm afraid I'll hurt you."
Chi Zhan closed the book and looked at his smiling face, a surge of anger rushed up.
"Uncle Lin, I suggest you be more serious."
"I have adopted the young master's suggestion."
Chi Lin made a gesture of invitation.
Chi Zhan didn't move, "You are not serious and have no deterrent effect."
Chi Lin still had a smile on his face as he walked over.
Act quickly.
Chi Zhan stood up and dodged, and Chi Lin followed with a move.
Chi Zhan took a step back and barely dodged it.
Chi Lin chased after him relentlessly.
Chi Zhan did train him, but Chi Lin could be considered half his master.
Some of the moves were taught by Chi Lin.
Even though Chi Lin is old, he can't defend against him.
Finally, Chi Lin took him downstairs.
It was only during the last two steps that Chi Lin let him go.
He stretched his twisted wrist and turned to go upstairs.
Chi Lin blocked the stairs, still smiling, "Master, your blind date is already here. If I force you to go through, you will lose face."
“…”
Chi Zhan was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and walked down the last two steps into the living room.
His father was not there. His grandparents were sitting on the double sofa, and his mother was sitting on the long sofa in the middle. There were three people sitting next to her. He glanced over them and didn't look closely.
If you don't want to sit on the sofa, just stand by the stairs.
Mother Chi smiled apologetically, stood up, pulled Chi Zhan over, and placed him next to a young girl.
"This is Sheng Lingxue, the granddaughter of your grandfather's comrade-in-arms. You two used to release Yanxi together when you were young."
Chi Zhan didn't even glance at him, and said indifferently: "When I was a kid, the kids in the compound would set off fireworks together."
"They all wear the same uniform to school. How come everyone is a couple?"
Mother Chi patted Chi Zhan and said, "Xiaoxue has been abroad for a while and just came back. After lunch, take her around the compound and reminisce."
Chi Zhan said expressionlessly: "Mom, think it over. Let me out of this door, and I won't come back."
Chi's mother didn't want to mention the matter between him and Jiang Lai, especially in front of the Sheng family.
Even if there is a possibility of becoming in-laws, face is the most important thing.
"If you don't go home, where can you go? Don't joke with me."
Chi Zhan said nothing more and got up and went upstairs.
"Eat." Chi's mother held him back.
Chi Zhan broke free from Chi's mother's hand and said, "I'm not hungry."
Mother Chi gritted her teeth.
He hadn't eaten since last night and this morning, not even lunch, and it was obvious that he was on a hunger strike.
“Sit down at the table even if you’re not hungry.”
Chi Zhan acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued to go upstairs.
Mother Chi was about to say something, but Sheng Lingxue stood up and said, "Aunt, let me take him to the hospital. It's a good opportunity for us to chat for a while."
"Sure, sure." Mother Chi smiled happily, took out Chi Zhan's favorite dishes, and asked Sheng Lingxue what she liked.
Sheng Lingxue picked two items and said, "I pay more attention to my body shape and don't like overeating."
Mother Chi was satisfied with Sheng Lingxue, but she was worried that her frail body would make it difficult for her to give birth to a child.
"You still have to eat more."
"Being too thin makes you prone to illness."
Sheng Lingxue smiled politely, didn't take much, and went upstairs with the tray.
Chi Zhan locked the door.
He ignored the knocking on the door again and again.
Finally, it was Chi Lin who pried open the door lock.
After letting Sheng Lingxue in, he quickly changed the lock and closed the door thoughtfully.
Chi Zhan doesn't like strangers entering his territory.
Sheng Lingxue also smelled strongly of perfume, which he also disliked.
He was annoyed and took out a cigarette and lit it.
Sheng Lingxue said: "Sorry, I never breathe secondhand smoke."
Chi Zhan ignored him and continued smoking.
Sheng Lingxue wanted to open the window for ventilation, but found that it could not be opened.
She had no choice but to open the door, but it wouldn't open.
"I think that even if you are against blind dates, you shouldn't be so rude."
Chi Zhan still ignored her. Sheng Lingxue walked over, took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, and put it out in the ashtray.
Chi Zhan spoke this time: "Who asked you to come up?"
Facing Chi Zhan's indifference, Sheng Lingxue didn't care.
"I can save you from going on blind dates again and again. Is that enough reason for you to be polite to me?"
