Chapter 701: Twenty-six-year-old Pingping (I)
"Brother, Sister Xixi will be back on Wednesday. Are you going to the airport to pick her up?"
"I have something else to do in the team, so I won't go. You guys go."
Jin Xi applied for medical major in college. After completing five years of university study in China, he resolutely chose to study abroad despite his family's dissuasion.
During her five years of studying abroad, she only came back twice, and both times she came back was when Pingping was on a mission, so the two had not seen each other for five years.
"Brother, if you don't go, Sister Xixi will definitely be sad."
"Don't take me so seriously."
Maybe she has already found a partner abroad, he added silently in his heart.
"Tell mom not to cook dinner for me. I'm going back to the army."
Bao Bao looked at her elder brother who left in a hurry, and couldn't understand his train of thought.
I obviously like Sister Xixi. Over the past five years, I have always been casually asking about her, but I am still stubborn and refuse to admit that I like her.
If he were Sister Xixi, he would have abandoned this unromantic stone long ago. There are so many good men out there, why does she have to hang herself on this crooked tree of his?
..........
On Wednesday, the Jin and Yan families went to the airport together to pick up their little princess and bring her back home.
"Mom, Dad, Uncle, Aunt, why are you all here?"
Jin Xi was very happy to see so many family members coming to pick her up. However, after looking around, she didn't see the person she wanted to see the most, so she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"Our precious daughter has finally returned home after completing her studies and is back in the arms of her family. We must all come and pick her up."
"You guys are making it too grand, even hanging such a big banner. I guess everyone in the airport knows that a man named Jin Xi is back."
"If your grandfather hadn't said it was too exaggerated, Dad would have wanted to promote you on radio and television stations."
"Haha, Dad, you haven't changed. You're still as exaggerated as ever."
"You little girl, you insult your father as soon as you come back."
"Hurry up and give Xiaolang your luggage. Dad has reserved a few tables at the Kyoto Hotel to welcome you. They are all your favorite dishes."
"Thank you, Dad. I knew you were the best to me."
"Oh, by the way, let me introduce someone to you."
Jin Xi called over a boy who was standing two or three meters behind him.
"This is my classmate when I was studying abroad. His name is Yang Xiucheng. He is from Hai City. He helped me a lot when I was abroad. This time he came to take the hospital exam with me."
Although Jin Kai and Tong Youyou were a little stunned when they saw Yang Xiucheng, they still greeted him enthusiastically.
"Hello, Xiao Yang, I'm Jin Xi's father, and this is her mother."
"Hello uncle and aunt, nice to meet you."
After the greetings, the group got in the car and headed for Kyoto Hotel.
On the way to the restaurant, Bao Bao took the time to send several text messages to her elder brother.
As for whether his elder brother would understand or not, or whether he would accept the challenge or not, he didn't care. As the younger brother, he could only help to this extent.
Pingping didn't see the message until nine o'clock in the evening and immediately called Baobao back.
"What's going on?"
"If you want to know, just come back and take a look. Sister Xixi's classmate of the opposite sex has now moved directly into our house."
"But I think they are pretty close. Maybe they were already dating when they were abroad, so it's no big deal if they live at home."
"Brother, don't you agree?"
Pingping didn't reply and just hung up the phone.
The next day, he asked for a day off from the army and returned home early in the morning.
"Why are you back now? Didn't you say you were very busy during this period?"
Song Fuyu asked knowingly.
"I'm a little tired, so I came back to rest for a day."
"oh?"
"I thought you were..."
Pingping went straight back to her room before she could finish her words.
"Mom, is my brother back?"
"Well, I'm going back to my room to be pretentious."
"Brother has a sense of crisis and can't sit still anymore. It's no wonder I sent him a message yesterday to provoke him."
Bao Bao was a little proud of this.
"Little friend Yan Baobao, how can you, who has never been in a relationship, know so much? Do you already have a girlfriend outside?"
“Ahem~”
"Mom, you're starting to have wild thoughts again. I have a partner now, and I will definitely bring him back to you as soon as possible. How can I hide it from you?"
"snort!"
"If you dare mess around outside, I'll ask your dad and your older brother to have a men's doubles match with you!"
"I dare not, I absolutely dare not!"
Bao Bao originally wanted to stay at home and watch the show, but after hearing what her mother said, she didn't dare to stay any longer and drove to the company quickly.
Pingping returned to the room, took a serious shower, shaved again, and for the first time ever, put on a shirt and a pair of straight trousers.
"Son, what are you doing? Going on a blind date?"
Song Fuyu looked at his flashy outfit, feeling a little surprised and wanting to laugh.
When he was at home, we asked him to wear less military uniform and more casual clothes, but he refused to do so, saying that military uniform was more comfortable.
Sure enough, men’s habits can be changed when stimulated.
"I'll go next door and say hello to Grandma Jin and the others."
"Ah? Oh! Go ahead."
Say hello to Grandma Jin, haha, what a poor excuse!
Coming to the Jin family's restaurant next door, Grandpa Jin, Grandma Jin and a strange young man were having breakfast in the restaurant.
Pingping glanced at the other person, their eyes met, and then he avoided them as if nothing had happened.
"Pingping, why are you here? Have you had breakfast?"
“I haven’t eaten yet.”
"You are here to see Xixi, right? She hasn't woken up yet. Why don't you go and call her? She used to listen to you the most when she was staying in bed."
Although the classmate Xixi brought back was still at the dinner table and was very polite, she liked him. But Jin's mother had already leaned towards Pingping, so she deliberately said something that could be easily misunderstood.
The Jin family and the Yan family had a good relationship and had always been neighbors. The two children were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. Pingping was a top boy in every aspect, so she naturally wanted Xixi and Pingping to be able to have a happy ending.
As for Yang Xiucheng, I can only apologize to him.
"Then I'll go to the room and call Xixi first."
Grandma Jin handed him a ladder and he said he had to go up no matter what.
