Even though Zhou Jiyun went to bed nearly midnight the night before, his powerful biological clock still made him open his eyes at around five. When he finished washing up and walked down the stairs, he heard the wake-up call outside.
Zhou Jiyun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Is this the characteristic of the military compound? By the way, would Xie Jing find it noisy?
Old Man Yun happened to push the door open and came out. When he saw Zhou Jiyun drinking water at the dining table, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After seeing Zhou Jiyun in his sportswear, the old man asked curiously: "Going out for morning exercise?"
Zhou Jiyun nodded: "Yes, I have the habit of morning exercise. Does Grandpa also go out for morning exercise?"
The old man dusted off his training clothes and said, "Then let's go together. There are too few young people as self-disciplined as you. Xiaoxu usually rests and wishes he could sleep until noon."
Zhou Jiyun would never continue to follow the old man's words. Wouldn't that just bring hatred upon himself? He smiled and said, "Second brother works hard, so it's only natural for him to get more sleep and recharge his energy during his holidays."
The old man laughed: "Why take it for granted? Are you used to living at home?"
Zhou Jiyun chuckled: "I live quite well."
The old man asked a few more questions. When Zhou Jiyun danced Tai Chi sword and Tai Chi with everyone, the old man was particularly proud: "My grandson-in-law Jiyun, is he excellent?"
Everyone had heard about what had happened in the Yun family, and now that they had seen Zhou Jiyun, many of the old men and women were curious. Of course, they mainly asked about Zhou Jiyun's age, work, etc. As for his family background, they were also sensible.
Zhou Jiyun was also very modest. He only talked about his small business at work, and never mentioned his two companies. This made Mr. Yun even happier. Everyone likes humble people.
After receiving the envy and jealousy of a bunch of old men and women, Mr. Yun took Zhou Jiyun home with satisfaction. As soon as he entered the living room, Zhou Jiyun saw Xie Jing dozing off on the sofa. He hurried over and squatted in front of Xie Jing: "Why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Xie Jing forced herself to open her eyes. When she saw Zhou Jiyun, she couldn't help but pout, "The wake-up call was too loud, and there was also the sound of running exercises. I really couldn't sleep."
Xie Jing hadn't gone to bed until after 1 a.m. the previous night, and was woken up at 6 a.m. She had thought the reveille was the limit. But when she heard the slogans for the morning exercises, she realized that the reveille was nothing.
Zhou Jiyun was away again, and Xie Jing couldn't lie down alone in the bedroom, so she simply got up early. Fortunately, she could go back tomorrow afternoon. Now Xie Jing was emitting the irritability caused by lack of sleep.
Zhou Jiyun rubbed her hair: "I asked grandpa, it's not so noisy after 8 o'clock, why don't you sleep a little longer after 8 o'clock?"
Xie Jing shook her head and rubbed her cheeks: "Forget it, let it be. It's my first time back, so I should spend more time with my family. The next time I come back will be before the New Year."
She knocked her head on Zhou Jiyun's shoulder: "I'm really sleepy."
What could Zhou Jiyun do? He could only smooth Xie Jing's brows, then slightly tilt his head to kiss Xie Jing's long hair. He could only hope that these two days would pass quickly so that Xie Jing could go back early and have a good rest.
Old Master Yun looked at the two of them being so affectionate, and a smile appeared on his face. He coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to wash up. Jiyun, you should also go wash up quickly. You've worked up a sweat from your morning exercise. Don't catch a cold."
Xie Jing touched Zhou Jiyun's back. She didn't say anything else, but pushed Zhou Jiyun to the bathroom.
"I thought you weren't exercising this morning."
Zhou Jiyun held her hand with his backhand: "I'm used to it. I feel slack if I don't practice for a day."
The two went upstairs, and Yunlan and Cheng Shuying came out of the room. Yunlan smiled and said, "Jingjing's morning grumpiness must be inherited from you. You're always irritable when you don't sleep well."
Because Xie Jing had never grown up in front of them, Yun Lan and Cheng Shuying would unconsciously look for similarities in Xie Jing when facing her. Now it seems that Xie Jing's personality is somewhat like Cheng Shuying's, with the same coldness.
Cheng Shuying raised her eyebrows slightly: "Jiyun has a good temper and is quite tolerant of Jingjing."
Yun Lan frowned. "I think it's Jingjing who tolerates him. With Jingjing's personality, whoever she's with will be happy. Jiyun, on the other hand, is a bit twisted."
Cheng Shuying gently nudged Yunlan: "I think Jiyun is a good person, especially considerate. When he looks at Jingjing, everyone can see the affection in his eyes."
Yun Lan sighed: "Young people are so direct. I even blushed when I saw it."
Cheng Shuying ignored him: "You are not happy to see others being nice to your daughter?"
Yun Lan was choked: "Okay, I'm happy with it. I just can't bear to see my good emerald cabbage being taken away by a pig from outside."
Old Master Yun came out wiping his hair and said, "That's the golden pig."
Yun Lan lost his temper: "Even if he is a golden pig, it can't change the fact that he is a pig."
No one argued with Yun Lan, as everyone knew that he was reluctant to see Xie Jing get married early, and he was taking this opportunity to vent his reluctance.
By the time Zhou Jiyun finished washing up, Aunt Fang had started serving breakfast, and everyone had gathered at the dining table. Yun Xu, slumped awkwardly in his chair, looked like a stark contrast to the refreshed Zhou Jiyun.
The old man glared at Yun Xu, who lazily changed his sitting position, leaning slightly towards Zhou Jiyun. "Brother-in-law, how do you manage to look so energetic after only a few hours of sleep?"
Zhou Jiyun picked up a steamed dumpling for Xie Jing and then said, "Actually, I'm sleepy too. I've been under a lot of pressure these past few days. I forced myself to get up this morning. If I exercise for a while, I'll feel more energetic."
Yun Xu gave a thumbs up: "You are really awesome."
Zhou Jiyun raised his eyebrows and accepted what Yun Xu said.
Yun Xu looked at Xie Jing again: "What are your plans for today?"
Xie Jingsi swallowed the food in her mouth politely before saying, "When we said goodbye last night, my grandparents said they were coming over today to visit us. Knowing we were going back to S City tomorrow afternoon, they wanted to stop us from running around."
"We are not familiar with the capital either."
Yun Xu: "At home, it's good to stay at home. It's a pity that you guys came back in a hurry this time. Yun Zhao was on a mission again and couldn't come back either. I didn't catch up. It's really a pity."
Xie Jing was puzzled: "Yun Zhao... is he your twin brother?"
Yun Xu: "Hmm, there are very few photos of Yun Zhao. We do look quite similar. You'll know next time you see us."
"Actually, Dad is usually very busy. This time it's because of you. I guess Dad will have to go back to the military area soon."
Xie Jing looked at Yun Cang: "I'm sorry to have caused you, uncle, to worry."
Yun Cang said softly, "You and your parents have suffered for so many years. As family members, we can't help in other ways, so we can only do our best in these areas. Fortunately, the ending is good now."
