Yun Xu laughed: "Hey, Ah Zhao might not know. He rarely has time to go out after going to the military academy. If we talk about who is most familiar with the capital, it has to be me."
Zhu Li looked at Yun Zhao, her eyes full of questions.
Yun Zhao coughed lightly: "Well, I'm not familiar with it, and I rarely have time to go out for a ride."
Zhu Li smiled and said, "That's nothing. How advanced is navigation nowadays?"
When Li Shu heard this, a smile appeared on her face. It seemed that Zhu Li and Yun Zhao really got along very well.
The day Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun returned was New Year's Eve. After lunch, the family was busy preparing for the evening's dinner. Zhou Jiyun, Yun Zhao, and Yun Xu were also busy, going out to buy alcohol and beverages for their own use during the Spring Festival.
How could Zhou Jiyun be willing to part with Xie Jing? But seeing Xie Jing's tired face, he felt reluctant to let her go: "How about you rest at home, and I'll go out with Brother Zhao and Brother Xu?"
"Let's go together," Xie Jing yawned lazily. "We didn't really explore the capital last time, so today is a good opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the surroundings. I can't sleep alone."
Zhou Jiyun was touched by the last sentence. He held Xie Jing's hand and said, "But you have to stay up all night until dawn. I'm worried you can't handle it."
Xie Jing: "Then just catch up on your sleep tomorrow. It's nothing."
Seeing the two people reluctant to leave, Yun Xu simply pushed them out with one hand each: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk. It's okay to fall asleep during the New Year's Eve. I don't always stay up until dawn."
“There aren’t so many rules at home.”
Cheng Shuying also smiled and said, "Yes, I have fallen asleep in the middle of the night before. It's not so complicated. You and Jiyun should go out if you need to. There is a supermarket nearby. Buy some snacks and choose the flavors you like."
Xie Jing pulled Zhou Jiyun back and said, "Let's go together. We came here in a hurry last time and didn't even have time to walk around. I've never seen what the compound looks like, so I'm really curious."
Zhou Jiyun thought for a moment and said, "How about we go out for a walk tonight? It's a good way to help digest our food."
The five young people went out to buy groceries, leaving only the elders at home. Yun Lan suddenly sighed: "After they left, I suddenly felt that the house was particularly empty, and my heart was empty too."
As long as Cheng Shuying knew Xie Jing was by her side, she wouldn't force Xie Jing to stay in front of her all the time. At this moment, she was very calm: "Hasn't it come to your senses yet? It's been over a month since we found Jingjing."
Yun Lan leaned back on the sofa: "I know in my heart that this is real, but sometimes I wonder if this is just a dream, and I'm afraid that when I wake up I'll be back to the way things were before."
Li Shu couldn't help but sigh, "You've suffered so much over the years. Fortunately, Jingjing is finally home. This is our first New Year together as a family, so we should celebrate it properly."
Cheng Shuying also smiled: "Yes, the child is finally home, and the future will finally be good."
Li Shu's lips curled up: "Looking at how close Jiyun and Jingjing are, I think they will have a baby soon. When that time comes..."
Before she could finish her words, Yun Lan sighed deeply. Cheng Shuying couldn't help laughing, "He's feeling lost. He feels like Jingjing is still a child herself. If she becomes a mother again, he won't be able to adapt to it for a while."
"But if Jingjing and Jiyun had a child, I would definitely look forward to it. After all, missing out on Jingjing's growth is already a huge regret, and I absolutely cannot miss out on the growth of the next generation."
Yun Lan immediately sat up and said, "That's right. If Jingjing has a baby, we can buy her all kinds of pretty clothes, teach her to read and write, and guide her to become a successful person. Thinking about this, I'm suddenly looking forward to it."
Xie Jing had no idea that there was still such talk at home after they went out to buy things. As soon as they entered the supermarket, everyone went their separate ways. Yun Zhao and Yun Xu were responsible for purchasing alcohol and beverages, while she and Zhou Jiyun were responsible for various snacks and desserts.
When they reunited, Yun Xu, Yun Zhao, and Zhu Li were each pushing two shopping carts. Xie Jing was no less busy, her cart filled with all sorts of snacks.
There were potato chips, nuts, meat jerky, dried fruit, and so on. Zhu Li looked over and said, "Jingjing, there are so many varieties to choose from."
Xie Jing pursed her lips and smiled. "There are so many of us here. If everyone gets one of each, there won't be much left. I was planning to place an order on my phone when I get home. Snacks take up space, but there aren't many."
Because the supermarket is located near the compound, it's inevitable to run into people from the compound when shopping there. For example, while waiting to check out, Xie Jing and the others ran into the well-known Xiao Bo.
"Brother Xu? Brother Zhao? When did you come back?" When Zhou Jiyun lowered his head to scan the code, a male voice sounded behind them.
Xie Jing, Zhou Jiyun and Zhu Li all turned their heads and saw a young man about 1.8 meters tall. He had a strong face and bronze skin. He was only wearing a jacket in this cold weather and had a very strong physique.
Yun Zhao tilted his head and said something to Zhu Li. Zhu Li went forward to pay the bill, and Yun Zhao went over to Xiao Bo and gave him a big hug. "I just got back at noon. I didn't buy any wine or drinks for the New Year, so I took Jingjing and Jiyun to get familiar with the area."
Xiao Bo raised the corner of his mouth: "Jingjing and Jiyun are back?"
"Yeah, checkout is over there." Yun Xu pointed to the checkout counter. Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun both smiled in their direction. Xiao Bo also smiled: "Let's go back together later? We haven't even officially met yet."
Yun Xu certainly wouldn't refuse: "Okay, it's just right for us to get together during the Chinese New Year. They're almost paying the bill, so let's go over there quickly."
Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun were the first to finish paying, and they waited for Yun Zhao and the others at the exit. Xie Jing looked at Zhou Jiyun's lips, which were pursed into a straight line, and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you jealous?"
Zhou Jiyun nodded frankly: "A little bit, but I won't be angry with you because of this. I'm just a little jealous, jealous that he was able to occupy the position of your fiancé in the past."
Xie Jing laughed: "What fiancé? It's just a joke, it doesn't count."
"And I'm your wife now. No matter what others thought before, we're married, and that's the truth."
Zhou Jiyun was immediately coaxed into a good mood. He lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Jing: "Then when you see him, what do you dare to think?"
"No feelings," Xie Jing said without hesitation: "I've never seen him before, but now that I see him, he's just the grandson of my grandfather's friend. Or, to add another point, a friend of Brother Xu and Brother Zhao."
"Of course, I'm very grateful to him. I heard that it was he who led the team to capture Qi Yan in Province G."
Zhou Jiyun's lip lines gradually flattened, and Xie Jing knew that he was jealous again. She couldn't help but smile, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Xie Jing hugged Zhou Jiyun and said, "I'm grateful to him because he helped us quickly find out about my parents' accident."
"Because he helped us, there's no other meaning."
