Zhou Jiyun also heard the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren outside the house. He twitched his ears and said, "Jingjing, your family members are all very unique and warm."
Xie Jing nudged Zhou Jiyun's shoulder with her forehead: "Study hard and don't be distracted. Besides, they are our family."
Zhou Jiyun felt warm inside: "Yes, they are our family. Teacher Xie is so strict."
Xie Jing deliberately put on a stern face: "Yes, so you have to listen carefully to Teacher Xie's lectures."
Zhou Jiyun nodded: "Yes, yes, I will definitely study hard. If I study well, does Teacher Xie have any rewards?"
Xie Jing glanced at him sideways: "Are you setting me up again? If you study well, there will naturally be rewards."
Zhou Jiyun was happy: "What's the reward?"
Xie Jing was just procrastinating: "Let's accumulate the rewards and talk about it after we get back to City S."
Zhou Jiyun was not disappointed: "Okay, then let's accumulate it."
He was already thinking that when he returned to S City, it would be just him and Xie Jing's world. By then, his cousin and the like would no longer appear in his and Jingjing's lives.
After all, everyone had their work at that time, and those who returned to the army returned to the army.
Thinking about his and Xie Jing's future life together, Zhou Jiyun felt that it was not impossible to endure for a few days during the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival was all about eating, drinking, and having fun. After lunch, Grandma arranged for Cheng Jin and Cheng Yu to take Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun out for a walk. They weren't the type to keep their children confined; as long as they knew they would be back, they felt at ease.
Cheng Jin and Cheng Yu really couldn't stand staying at home because there were too many guests at home, just like the leeks in the field, one crop after another.
After leaving the house, Cheng Yu stretched out his arms and sighed: "It's more comfortable outside. Sister, where do you want to go to play?"
Xie Jing glanced at the direction and said, "Just walk around. I heard from grandma that your alma mater is nearby. Can we go and take a look?"
"Of course," Cheng Yu put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket. "Brother Jin and I both go to No. 9 Middle School. Brother Jin is two years older than me. The school won't be open during the New Year holiday, so we can only look outside."
Xie Jing smiled and said, "It's okay, I just wanted to look around. I'm also a little bored staying at home. We came here to wish grandma a happy new year, and now we've become the monkeys being stared at."
Cheng Jin: "Curious, but I also think it's a bit excessive."
Zhou Jiyun held Xie Jing's hand tightly. "I made a travel guide yesterday. There's a shopping mall nearby with a lot of fun places. How about we go there to relax? The weather is too cold. I'm worried you'll catch a cold if you keep wandering around outside."
Xie Jing didn't care where she went, as long as she wasn't being looked at as a fool: "It's all fine. Are you still making a strategy?"
Zhou Jiyun raised his eyebrows: "Well, I guessed that something like this might happen today, and since we are here to relax, we naturally want to have fun."
Cheng Yu gave a thumbs up: "No wonder you two have such a good relationship, you really put your heart into it."
Xie Jing just lowered her eyes and smiled. She did not deny Zhou Jiyun's intentions. Just like she treated Zhou Jiyun, she also managed the relationship with him with care.
The mall was indeed very lively as Zhou Jiyun said. Yun Zhao and Yun Xu were not with them on this trip. If these two were there, Xie Jing would feel like she had gone back more than a month.
The billiard room was on the fifth floor of the mall, with a coffee bar outside. Xie Jing sat at the bar, chatting quietly with Zhou Jiyun, occasionally watching Cheng Jin and Cheng Yu play billiards.
It must be said that this kind of life made her feel more at peace and at ease. Staying at home, it seemed as if everyone was watching everything she did.
"When will Grandpa arrive tomorrow?" Thinking of the family reunion banquet on Friday and the fact that Grandpa Zhou would be coming tomorrow, Xie Jing couldn't help but ask a few questions.
Zhou Jiyun checked the time: "In the morning, it will be more convenient for them to charter a plane."
Xie Jing was stunned: "I am not very experienced."
"No way," Zhou Jiyun smiled. "It's mainly because Grandpa is old, so it's more convenient to charter a plane. Aunt Li is coming along, and Brother Fan and the others will also come."
Xie Jing smiled and said, "I suddenly miss Aunt Li so much. When we go to the capital in the future, we must bring Aunt Li with us."
Zhou Jiyun leaned close to her and whispered, "Of course, I heard from Brother Fan that Aunt Li is taking a confinement nanny course and is also learning how to make complementary foods..."
"Yeah," Xie Jing tried to remain calm, "That's good. It will come in handy sooner or later."
Zhou Jiyun originally wanted to tease Xie Jing, but after hearing what Xie Jing said, his joking thoughts disappeared, and he put his head on Xie Jing's shoulder: "That's great."
Xie Jing scratched his chin with her right hand: "I think it's good too."
It’s a wonderful thing to think about having someone looking forward to the future with you.
But there are always people who interrupt warm moments, like now. Xie Jing was drinking fruit tea with her eyes lowered when she heard a hesitant voice: "Xie Jing?"
Xie Jing was stunned: "When did Yu come?"
Zhou Jiyun also sat up straight, and they both turned their heads to look behind them. Standing there was He Shiyu. He was wearing a light-colored down jacket and looked at Xie Jing with a complicated expression.
Xie Jing put down the fruit tea: "Why are you here?"
He Shiyu exchanged a few words with his friends. After they sat down at the nearest booth, He Shiyu slowly walked up to the two of them and said, "I have a friend who lives nearby."
He glanced at Zhou Jiyun quickly: "When did you come to the capital?"
Xie Jing looked at the booth next to her and said, "Because of the New Year, I thought that for the sake of decency, you should know that even if we meet, we should pretend not to know each other."
He Shiyu was a little stunned. After meeting Zhou Jiyun's cold gaze, he whispered, "You have always been so direct. I used to think it was a bit aggressive, but now looking back, I find it very precious."
Zhou Jiyun's eyes narrowed dangerously. Xie Jing held his hand and said, "It's inappropriate for you to say that. I'm already married, and my husband and I have a very good relationship."
"I know." He Shiyu looked at the seat opposite the two of them and said, "I have something I want to say to you in person. I won't take up too much of your time."
Now that the conversation had come to this, Xie Jing didn't say anything more: "What do you want to say?"
He Shiyu lowered his eyes, and while waiting for the coffee to be served, he said softly, "After returning from winter vacation, I went to see Jin Xiao. She wasn't doing well. When I saw her again, I found that she didn't seem to be the person I remembered."
Xie Jing herself found this situation odd. What was this all about? Were she and Zhou Jiyun listening to her ex's emotional journey? And this ex's girlfriend was the daughter of the very person who had caused her to become displaced?
This relationship is very exciting to think about.
Zhou Jiyun also felt it was very strange. When he looked at He Shiyu, there was something wrong in his eyes. He wondered if this man had a problem with his brain?
He Shiyu gave a bitter smile and said, "I don't know who to talk to about some things."
