Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Ending
Ji Qingzhi had heard before that intimate behavior would bring people closer together, and Ji Qingzhi felt that this statement also applied to lovers. It seemed that ever since they had started kissing, the two of them liked to be intimate with each other more when they met. Ji Qingzhi snuggled in his arms and thought, no wonder so many people like to be in love, it turns out that being in love feels really good.
Gu Jingsi pressed his hand against her forehead to calm himself down, and finally said in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your hard work, my girlfriend."
"It's not hard, you continue working, I'll just take a look." Ji Qingzhi tapped his cheek with his finger.
"Okay." Gu Jingsi lowered his head and kissed his forehead.
That day, Ji Qingzhi waited for him to finish his work. They went out for dinner together, and then she was sent back to Ji's restaurant. Thinking of the curfew that Old Ji mentioned, she couldn't help but start thinking about whether she should move back to the apartment. After all, it was an adult relationship, and she didn't mind if something happened. But there was no rush.
The next time they met was on the birthday of Gu Jingsi's childhood friend. This allowed Ji Qingzhi to see another side of Gu Jingsi. He was a completely different person in front of his familiar friends.
Ji Qingzhi thought that sometimes the aura between people was very magical. Obviously, everyone present was his friend, but she inexplicably felt that she was in tune with them. Everyone got along very happily that night.
When Gu Jingsi sent her back, Ji Qingzhi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips when she thought of the teasing people had said to him. She glanced at the person driving seriously next to her. She thought, it seems that she did make a profit. Well, he also made a fortune by having a girlfriend like her.

Compared to young couples in love, they didn't meet each other that often, but they would talk on the phone before going to bed every day. Ji Qingzhi realized for the first time that after falling in love, everyone would learn nonsense literature without any guidance.
Perhaps the aura on her body was too obvious. Qian Wan and Qiu Tian came to give Ji Qingzhi an invitation that day. Seeing that she was full of happiness, Qiu Tian couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Ji, are you in love?"
"Why do you say that?" Ji Qingzhi's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Do I feel like there are pink bubbles all over your body?" Qiu Tian gestured with her hands. Sometimes, intuition is difficult to describe, but it is particularly accurate.
Ji Qingzhi was amused by her words, lowered his head and glanced at their invitation, then said softly: "Yes, I am in love, and I will bring him to attend your wedding banquet when the time comes."
"Wow, it's our honor." Surprise flashed in Qiu Tian's eyes, but Qian Wan next to her looked thoughtful.
"Then we won't bother Teacher Ji!" Qiu Tian waved goodbye to her. After leaving the Ji family's courtyard, she couldn't help but say to the people around her: "I don't know who is so lucky to be able to date Teacher Ji."
"Won't we know on the wedding day?" Qian Wan had a guess in his mind.
"Aren't you curious?" Qiu Tian asked with some doubt.
Qian Wan shook his head and said firmly: "I'm not curious."
"How boring." Qiu Tian decided to ignore him. The feeling of knowing gossip but not being able to share it was too uncomfortable. She couldn't help but glare at the person next to her. If he was willing to discuss it with her, would she feel so uncomfortable?
Seeing this, Qian Wan couldn't help but say helplessly: "Didn't you say that we should go pick out new souvenirs? Let's go."
"Yes, hurry up." Qiu Tian quickly forgot what happened just now, and Qian Wan next to her curled the corners of his lips.

It was not until there were more and more comments with the name Ding Yong under Big Eyes' account that Ji Qingzhi realized how quickly time had passed. She and Gu Jingsi had been dating for almost two months, and the two months had passed so quickly without her noticing.
The idea of moving to an apartment came to her mind again. She first asked a housekeeping company to clean the apartment again, and then discussed moving out with Lao Ji.
Ji Yuanfu had anticipated this, so he just nodded calmly: "Well, come back anytime you want."
Ji Qingzhi didn't expect it to be so smooth. She thought he would at least stop her. But when she thought about it carefully, apart from the acting incident that year, Old Ji had always respected her own choices. Feeling the heat in her eyes, she quickly blinked to stop them from flowing out: "Yeah, I know."
"Although you have moved out, don't forget to come back and cook. You must not slack off on your cooking skills." Ji Yuanfu reminded.
"I see." Ji Qingzhi thought, the restaurant now has Old Ji and Ding Yong, maybe she should also think about what she should do next, open a branch, and then run it according to her philosophy? For a moment, Ji Qingzhi thought a lot.
Gu Jingsi knew that Jing An had been hinting at him to take Ji Qingzhi home, but he was unwilling to let her do something she didn't want to do. It was obvious that she was not ready for this. When he learned that she had moved to an apartment, he was stunned for a second, then looked at her happily: "So, will there be no curfew in the future?"
Ji Qingzhi was amused by his words, and then nodded: "Yes, congratulations Mr. Gu, there will be no curfew in the future."
As soon as the voice fell, the two smiled at each other, and then naturally came together again. Ji Qingzhi rested his head on his legs, played with the buttons on his clothes, and suddenly said: "A friend of mine is getting married next month, you can go with me."
"Okay." Gu Jingsi nodded.
"Just wear the shirt you wore that time." He had never worn the shirt and tie that Ji Qingzhi gave him last time.
"All your request." Gu Jingsi's hands shuttled through her hair. She seemed to be more and more willing to integrate herself into her circle of friends, such as Yun Xiangrong last time and the wedding she was about to attend this time.
After moving out, Ji Qingzhi still reported to Ji's restaurant every day. At the same time, she also began to look for a suitable location. For a while, she became very busy.
Ji Yuanfu also agreed with the idea of a branch store. As Ding Yong met more and more people, at least one of the three of them would be free. If there was a branch store, the staff could be well allocated. However, he still said to Ji Qingzhi very seriously: "Have you really thought it through? In addition to opening a branch, you actually have other options."
Now that self-media is developing rapidly, she can choose in this direction. She is no longer stubborn and believes that there are many ways to pass on her heritage.
"But I like cooking." Ji Qingzhi said sincerely. She thought that after the branch opened, the number of diners per day would be limited, and should be less than here.
"Then do it." Ji Yuanfu's tone was full of support.
"Well, I'm still looking for a place." She still wanted a place with a backyard. Thinking of the flower wall and vegetable garden in the backyard, she was actually a little reluctant to leave.
Perhaps her gaze was too obvious, Ji Yuanfu chuckled twice: "You take care of it first, and when Ding Yong can handle it on his own, you can go directly over."
"Well, I'll think about it." Ji Qingzhi was indeed reluctant to leave the backyard that she had taken care of herself, but opening a branch was also a challenge. If she could take care of the backyard here, she should be able to take care of the backyard of the branch as well. Thinking of this, she felt guilty for a moment, after all, there was no well water there.
Because of the requirement of a yard, finding a suitable store was not easy. Fortunately, with the help of Gu Jingsi and his friends, Ji Qingzhi finally found a yard that suited her needs. Regarding the choice of renting or selling, Ji Qingzhi prefers to buy it. She doesn't want to return the yard that she has taken good care of to the landlord in the future.
Both Ji Yuanfu and Gu Jingsi supported her decision and offered to support her, but Ji Qingzhi refused. She used the remuneration from "Food and Delicious" last time to set aside some money for renovation, which was enough for her to pay most of the house payment. She decided to take out a loan for the rest, as this way, she would have pressure and motivation.
"Okay." Ji Yuanfu didn't force her anymore. After all, she had been strong since she was a child.
Gu Jingsi had expected her rejection. Although they were boyfriend and girlfriend, she had a strong sense of boundaries. He sighed in his heart, thinking that the revolution had not yet succeeded and he still needed to work hard.
The house belonged to a relative of Gu Jingsi's friend. With this relationship, the negotiation went smoothly. In just one week, all the necessary procedures were completed. Ji Qingzhi looked at the house deed in her hand and said to Gu Jingsi, "From today on, I become a negative mother-in-law."
"Teacher Ji is so capable. I believe you will become a rich woman again soon." Gu Jingsi said with a smile in his tone.
"I think so too." Ji Qingzhi said with complacency in her tone. Yes, she believed she could do it.
The next period of time was spent on decoration. Ji Qingzhi had very strict requirements, so he discussed with the designer until very late every day. The backyard was also planned with vegetable fields and fish ponds in the same way as the Ji family's courtyard. Of course, the flower wall was also indispensable.
Even on the day she went to attend Qian Wanqiu Tian's wedding, she did not communicate with the designer in advance. When she appeared with Gu Jingsi's arm around her, Qiu Tian's eyes were full of surprise, and other people saw it and discussed it quietly with those around them.
Although the two of them did not officially announce their relationship, they were privately photographed several times by passers-by. At first, Gu Jingsi would deal with it, but later, after asking Ji Qingzhi for her opinion, he stopped dealing with it. Just as she said, love was a matter between the two of them, and there was no need to report it to anyone. Of course, there was no need to deal with those photos anymore.
As expected, many photos of the two of them together were released at the wedding. While netizens were enjoying the sweet moments, they also asked when they would get married.
Ji Qingzhi couldn't help but frown when she saw the word "marriage". To be honest, marriage had never been in her plan, but what about Gu Jingsi? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Gu Jingsi and said seriously: "Let's talk."
"What's wrong?" Seeing her serious expression, Gu Jingsi was a little puzzled.
"I forgot to tell you before, I am not in favor of marriage." After saying this, Ji Qingzhi looked at Gu Jingsi. He is so smart, he should understand what she means.
"It doesn't matter. Marriage is optional for me, but you are not. As long as you are willing to be with me, no matter what the form is." Before meeting her, Gu Jingsi had never imagined getting married.
His answer surprised her a little, but then she changed her mind and thought that life was so long, it was too early to think about getting married now. As long as she was happy now, she looked up at him and said gently, "Okay, then we will be in love forever."
