Ji Linhai blushed and stammered, "They're all delicious."

Zhong Zijun quietly kicked Gu Qinghuan on the table.

This child is becoming more and more unruly and is always making fun of by others.

Gu Qinghuan's joke diluted the sadness of the impending departure, and she knew when to stop and quit while she was ahead.

Everyone understood what Gu Qinghuan meant, except for a few elders who had known about it for a long time. Others like Xu Huai'an and Zhong Luoqing quickly understood.

As for the affairs of Zhong Zijun and Ji Linhai, everyone in the family was happy to see it happen.

Gu Lanting was dumbfounded and didn't understand, but no one was willing to explain it to him.

After this meal, our family will go their separate ways, and we don’t know when we will be together again, so we cherish this moment especially.

After dinner, the 꺶 family sat together and chatted for a long time before going home.

Zhong Weiqian and the other two said goodbye to Xu Huaian and the others in advance and decided not to see them off tomorrow.

Gu Lanting's eyes were red.

Zhong Luoxi's eyes were as swollen as a rabbit's.

Ming Ruxue, who always had a smile on her face, rarely had tears in her eyes.

She was reluctant to enjoy her leisure time.

During this period, thanks to Gu Qinghuan's care, she has experienced a lot of fun in life and the warmth of family.

She took care of her like a caring sister, not only allowing her to taste many delicacies, but also to experience different customs and cultures.

I don’t know when I will see you again this time, after all, the distance between Northeast China and Beijing is not close.

"Sister Huanhuan, I will miss you." Ming Ruxue hugged Gu Qinghuan and said while sniffing.

Gu Qinghuan felt uncomfortable, so he hugged her easily: "Do you miss me, or the food I cooked?"

Ming Ruxue burst into laughter and said, "I want both!"

"Ruxue, go back and study hard. If you want to be like your parents, you still have a long way to go.

Don't be sad, we sisters will be together again soon." Gu Qinghuan comforted her.

The college entrance examination will be resumed in more than a year, and then we can see each other every day.

"Okay, Sister Huanhuan, I'll wait for you in Beijing." Ming Ruxue said reluctantly.

After the 꺶 family said goodbye reluctantly, Ji Linhai was responsible for sending the three members of the Zhong family back as usual.

Zhong Zijun was unwilling to accept the offer, but was afraid that Gu Lanting would insist on sending them off, which would make him even more worried, so he had no choice but to let Ji Linhai send them off.

Different from the calm mood last time, this time Zhong Zijun was very nervous and stayed at the back the whole time, not daring to get close to Ji Linhai.

Ji Linhai noticed her little movement and laughed.

Until the three were sent back and settled.

When Zhong Zijun sent him here, he chuckled and said, "Are you so afraid of me?"

Zhong Zijun lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her clothes, not daring to look at him.

"I'm not afraid..."

I'm just too embarrassed to face it. After all, I'm already old and my two children are so old. Suddenly, I have a second spring in my life. And everyone seems to know about it. It's embarrassing just thinking about it.

"Aren't you afraid of that?" Ji Linhai just wanted to know what she thought.

To be honest, he was very nervous. Although Zhong Zijun didn't explicitly reject him, she didn't explicitly agree that they should be together.

Zhong Zijun gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Brother Ji, thank you for the gift. I don't know if I understood you correctly. Do you want to date me?"

Ji Linhai raised his lips and said, "I think I have made it very clear. Indeed, I like you. We are unmarried. Do I have a chance?"

Hearing his words "I love you", Zhong Zijun's long-silent heart began to beat rapidly, her heart beating wildly like a young girl in love.

But she soon calmed down again. Now was not the time to let her imagination run wild.

"Brother Ji, thank you very much for your help and contribution to us during this time.

I can't go against my own heart and say that I have no thoughts about you. That would be too unfair to you.

But with our identities, it is difficult for us to be together at that time. "

Zhong Zijun directly asked practical questions, hoping that Ji Linhai would retreat when faced with difficulties.

She is not a stubborn person. People are all kind-hearted. She cannot ignore Ji Linhai's silent love for her.

But for them to get together openly and honestly is like climbing to heaven.

After hearing her first sentence, Ji Linhai felt very disappointed because he thought he was being rejected.

As a result, Zhong Zijun's second sentence rekindled his hope and made him ecstatic.

He knew that Zhong Zijun was not indifferent to him, and that was good.

As for the problem she mentioned, he would find a way to solve it. If one year didn't work, he would try two years. If two years didn't work, he would try three years. One day, he would stand by Zhong Zijun openly and honestly.

He had a feeling that this day would not be too far away.

"As long as you are willing to accept me, the problems you mentioned are not problems, I will handle them.

Believe me, give me some time, I will find a way to get everything done, okay?" Ji Linhai looked at her eagerly.

Zhong Zijun was deeply moved when he heard the seriousness and determination in his tone.

Why didn't she want to give them a chance?

So she nodded gently: "Okay!"

Ji Linhai was so excited that he almost hugged her, but he stopped at the last moment. He was weak and moved without any caution, for fear of scaring the little woman.

Finally, he said with restraint: "Zijun, thank you for giving me a chance.

We are no longer young, and we cannot rely solely on impulse and hot-headedness in our relationships.

I give you complete freedom. If you feel comfortable with our relationship, you can continue. If you don't want to continue, I won't force you to stay.

If you feel unwell one day, tell me in advance and I will leave gracefully, okay? "

It was impossible for Zhong Zijun not to be moved. This man looked so rough on the outside, yet so delicate and soft on the inside.

He had already thought of all the options for her, including a way out.

She didn't bother to back off.

"Brother Ji, you are right, we are all free, we do what we like and let nature take its course."

The two of them have confirmed their relationship, which means they support each other. In this difficult world, they stick together and warm each other's lives.

This was the first time in Ji Linhai's life that he was dating a lesbian. To be honest, this feeling was very novel. Like a young boy, he wished he could see her all the time. He was very nervous and worried.

Unwilling to let Zhong Zijun freeze outside, he walked away, looking back every few steps.

Zhong Zijun watched him leave until he could no longer be seen, then returned to the house.
