Zhou Jida stayed quietly in the old house, while the capital was full of social activities. As soon as Mr. Zhou came to the capital, Xie Jing followed Zhou Jiyun back to Bishui Jiayuan.
Then, Xie Jing managed to sleep until the afternoon on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. One reason was that she had been sleep deprived recently, and the other was that Zhou Jiyun was too crazy.
"What time is it?" The room was dark, and Xie Jing had no idea what time it was. As soon as she asked, she couldn't help but frown.
"It's two o'clock in the afternoon," just as Xie Jing was frowning, Zhou Jiyun lifted her up by her upper body, and then handed her a cup of hot water with a straw in it.
After drinking half a glass of water from Zhou Jiyun's hand, Xie Jing took a breath and asked, "Did my parents call?"
Zhou Jiyun said cheerfully, "No, they probably knew it was a rare opportunity for us to spend some time alone together, so my parents were very open-minded and didn't come to disturb us."
Xie Jing couldn't stand the words "two-person world" now. She supported herself on the mattress with both hands and tried to sit up straight, but what Xie Jing didn't expect was that she couldn't support herself up at all. Her arms were so soft that she couldn't use any strength at all.
Zhou Jiyun hurriedly put his arm around her waist: "What are you going to do? Let me help you?"
Xie Jing couldn't even muster the energy to get angry now: "Go to the bathroom."
"Okay, I'll carry you over." Zhou Jiyun lifted the quilt and carried Xie Jing sideways to the bathroom. After Xie Jing finished washing up with great difficulty, he carried her out.
"I'm not going to the bedroom," Xie Jing shook her legs. She was scared at the sight of a big bed, so how could she be willing to stay in the bedroom?
Zhou Jiyun chuckled twice: "Okay, let's go to the living room?"
Thinking of last night on the sofa in the living room, Xie Jing's eyes wandered. She pursed her lips and said nothing. Zhou Jiyun found it interesting and teased her deliberately: "Then let's go to the study?"
Xie Jing finally glared at him: "You still bring it up?"
"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it." Zhou Jiyun stroked her hair and said, "Then let's go to the restaurant. I don't know when you will wake up. I made some seafood porridge, and it's still warm now."
Xie Jing looked at him: "Have you had lunch?"
"No," Zhou Jiyun placed her on a chair in the restaurant: "It's boring to eat alone."
"Then come eat with me," Xie Jing pulled his sleeve, "You don't have to wait for me all the time. If you're hungry, just eat first."
"That won't work," Zhou Jiyun said seriously, "You missed brunch because of me. I'd feel guilty if I ate first."
Xie Jing was helpless: "Then you should restrain yourself a little..."
"I can't control myself," Zhou Jiyun touched her hair: "I have pretty good self-control, but when I see you, I can't control myself at all."
Thank you Jingfo, what can she do? The vicious dog she raised has to live a lifetime no matter what.
The two of them had a late lunch. After lunch, neither of them went out. They just huddled on the chaise longue in the living room, reading books and occasionally whispering a few words. Xie Jing felt sleepy again unconsciously.
When she was about to fall asleep, Yun Lan called her via video: "Your great uncle is back. Let's have dinner together tonight? I've contacted your grandfather."
Zhou Jiyun looked at the dozing Xie Jing and lowered his voice: "Okay, what time? Still at the same hotel as yesterday?"
"Six-thirty, maybe," Yun Lan looked at the video on the other side. "Where's Jingjing? Still catching up on sleep?"
"No, I just woke up." Xie Jing patted her cheeks to make herself a little more alert: "When did my uncle come back?"
Yun Lan quickly glanced at Xie Jing's face. "Just half an hour ago. He came back this time for your family reunion banquet and for A Zhao and A Li's engagement banquet tomorrow. He has to go back to the army in two days, so he's in a hurry."
"Jiyun's grandfather is coming over, so as the younger generation, we naturally have to go visit him. I heard that A-li's family is also here today, so let's get together tonight."
Xie Jing felt a headache just thinking about it: "How many people would that require?"
Yun Lan smiled and said, "No matter how many people come, you don't need to entertain them. We are here for you."
Xie Jing yawned: "Okay, thank you Dad."
Seeing Xie Jing in such a difficult situation, Yun Lan couldn't hide his heartache: "It's because you just returned home, so a family reunion banquet is indispensable. Plus, it's the Chinese New Year, so there are a lot of relatives visiting, and it's all at the same time."
"After the family reunion banquet tomorrow, you can have a good rest. You just need to attend Zhao and Li's engagement party."
Xie Jing thought about it and agreed: "Yes, let's just get through today and tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is Zhao Ge and A Li's home game, and we can finally take a breath."
Zhou Jiyun kneaded her fingers and said, "Then shall we leave at five o'clock?"
"Sure," Yun Lan nodded. "You guys go ahead and catch up on your sleep. I have a lot of things to do."
After finishing the call with Yun Lan, Xie Jing plopped down in Zhou Jiyun's arms again. Zhou Jiyun pulled her closer and said, "You've been working hard these past few days. You have dark circles under your eyes."
Xie Jing tapped his eye bags and said, "You work harder than me. I slept for a few hours on the morning of the first day of the new year, but you seem to be busy all the time. You're the one who's really working hard, entertaining friends."
Zhou Jiyun narrowed his eyes and smiled, then gently bit Xie Jing's index finger: "You care so much about me? Then come back tonight..."
"Not today," Xie Jing tapped Zhou Jiyun's lips, "I'm sore all over right now, I don't have the strength to lift anything."
"Okay, I'll let you go tonight." Zhou Jiyun was very easy to talk to. He certainly understood the principle of slow and steady progress. Besides, today was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, so they would definitely stay at Bishui Jiayuan tomorrow night.
They would definitely stay at the compound on the sixth night of the Lunar New Year. After all, Xie Jing would be returning to S City with him on the seventh, and she would spend more time with her family. But Zhou Jiyun was not in a hurry, because after returning to S City, Xie Jing's time would be all his.
Stretching in Zhou Jiyun's arms, Xie Jing touched the soft flesh on her waist and said, "It feels like since the second year of junior high school, there have been banquets almost every day. I feel like I've gained weight."
Zhou Jiyun also touched it, and Xie Jing shrank back because of the itch: "Don't touch it, it's itchy."
Zhou Jiyun did not stop, and his big hands with slightly calloused skin brushed over Xie Jing's waist and lower abdomen, making Xie Jing so itchy that she laughed in his arms with her hair disheveled and even two tears in the corners of her eyes.
It looks so vivid and lively.
Zhou Jiyun leaned over and kissed away the two tears: "I won't tease you anymore. Are you still sleepy now?"
"Much better. The more I sleep, the weaker I feel." Xie Jing turned over and said, "I have to control myself when I get home. I've gained almost five kilograms."
"I quite like it. You were too thin before." Zhou Jiyun tucked the blanket into Xie Jing's arms. "Back in S City, it won't be as lively as it is now. Will you feel uncomfortable?"
"After the hustle and bustle fades away, there will naturally be endless silence. Silence is what I like most." Xie Jing held his hand: "As long as you are by my side, it's enough."
