I have a boyfriend after being in school for more than a month.
Ji Ling didn't think too much about Gao Jing's reminder, but yesterday at school, Ji Ke interacted with the man like this, and Zhu Yaowu mentioned it, which showed that their behavior was very intimate.
Ji Ling talked about what Gao Jing told her, "I'll ask her about this."
"We are in the same school. If something happens, please remind your uncles and aunts at home."
"good."
Ji Ling did not look for Ji Ke that day. Instead, she called home after returning home in the evening. Ji Yong was not there, so Xu Fang answered the phone.
That's even better.
Ji Ling told what she heard about Ji Ke from outsiders.
After listening to this, Xu Fang said, "They are probably just friends. When Ji Ke was at home, he got along very well with the boys in your grandma's compound."
How can this be the same?
That was a compound where we grew up together, this was school, and he was also a man in society.
Ji Ling said, "I've told you what happened, as long as you feel it's okay."
Xu Fang raised her voice, "Ji Ling, what do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is that if you think it's okay, and something happens to Ji Ke in the future, don't blame me and say that I don't care about her." Ji Ling said and hung up the phone.
Xu Fang was holding the phone. When she heard the caller hang up, she hung up the phone angrily.
She was still muttering, "Why don't you care? Have you ever cared? You selfish girl."
When everyone calmed down, Xu Fang began to wonder in her heart. She didn't want to think badly of her little daughter, but there was something wrong with her little daughter's interactions with people in society.
It was too late that day to call, so Xu Fang called Ji Ke’s dormitory building the next day.
The mother and daughter talked on the phone. Xu Fang first asked her daughter how she had been doing in the past few days, and finally asked tentatively, "Have you made any new friends?"
Ji Ke held the phone to his ear with both hands, "I know someone, he's our senior sister's brother. I happened to meet him when I came to school to visit my senior sister. He's a very nice guy and took me hiking."
After she finished speaking, she asked, "Mom, did my sister tell you something? Actually, Brother Guan and I are just friends, there's nothing else."
“He’s an elementary school teacher.”
Xu Fang felt relieved. "Ji Ling was also worried about you. I refuted her at that time."
"Mom, I don't blame my sister."
"That's good."
On Saturday, Ji Ke went to the compound to find Ji Ling. They talked to the elders and looked after the children. Then the two sisters went out and went to the address given by Xu Fang.
"When will big brother come back?"
"No call." Ji Ling has been waiting for Ji Jianhua's call since she talked to Wang Sanmei, but there has been no response.
"Big brother must be very sad." Ji Ke pouted, "When I see her later, I will ask her directly if she doesn't want to get married and tell big brother directly, why she wants big brother to misunderstand dad, and see how she explains it."
"Okay." Ji Ling agreed, "Once we get there, it's up to you."
Ji Ke pursed her lips and said, "Sister, I've asked you all the questions. What if she says she doesn't blame her and it was our family's misunderstanding?"
"That can't be helped. She's right."
Ji Ke opened his mouth and said, "But. But if it wasn't for her, there wouldn't be any misunderstanding."
Ji Ke was completely quiet now.
Most of the grievances that Ji Ling had suffered in the past were because of Ji Ke.
After the two got off the car, they asked for the address and went there. Standing at the gate of the yard, they confirmed again and again before they realized they were in the right place.
This is a courtyard house far away from the city. The gate is open and people are coming in and out. It can be seen that there are quite a few people living here, but most of them are young people.
Ji Ke looked around, "They live here?"
Ji Ling said, "Let's go in and ask."
This place is really shabby.
But I know it must be very cost-effective to live here.
The two of them entered the yard and walked along the alley for a long time before they came to a yard where there were people. Ji Ling went forward to inquire.
The other party had never heard of the surname Luo, but pointed them in a direction, "Go to the innermost part, most of the people staying there are short-term, most of them are extras."
After expressing their gratitude, the two of them followed the direction that the aunt had just mentioned, walked to the innermost part, and asked around, and finally found news about the Luo Li sisters.
The person who was speaking was a girl with buzz cut hair and a pierced nose. She was so alternative that people of this era could not accept her at all.
Ji Ke hid behind Ji Ling in fear.
The girl looked to be about 18 or 19 years old, and her voice was clear. "You are talking about the Luo Weiwei sisters, right? They moved away. After her sister came over, she moved out. I heard that a friend found a good place for them to live."
The girl looked at Ji Ling and her sister with a smile, "Are you friends?"
"It's from my hometown."
"I think you should stop looking. The sisters must have found a rich man. The day Luo Weiwei moved out, she was like a peacock, wishing everyone knew that her sister had found a rich man."
Ji Ke forgot her fear and walked out, "Luo Li has a boyfriend from the capital?"
The girl was obviously stunned for a moment, "Her sister's name is Luo Li? It's a nice name."
Then he nodded, "Yes, at first no one believed what Luo Weiwei said. Later, someone came back from outside and saw the sisters getting into a car. I heard that the man was very handsome and looked like a rich man."
Ji Ke pursed her lips, turned back and said to Ji Ling, "Sister, how could she do this?"
It turned out that she had someone else outside and wanted to abandon her elder brother but didn't say it directly, so she took such a roundabout way. What did she think of her elder brother? A spare tire? If she didn't want her there, she would go back to her elder brother? "Thank you, we are relieved to know that they are doing well. We will go back first." Ji Ling nodded to the girl without looking at Ji Ke.
The girl smiled brightly, "You're welcome. I didn't help much. I just told you a few truths."
Coming out of the courtyard, Ji Ke followed Ji Ling silently.
It was not until they got in the car that Ji Ling asked, "Are you going back to the compound with me, or to school?"
"Go back to school." Ji Ke was dejected. "Why don't you care at all? Big brother is so good to you, why aren't you angry when you hear that?"
Ji Ling smiled, "Does getting angry at an outsider mean that I care about my brother? Ji Ke, you are not a child anymore, you are already an adult, so use your brain before you act, okay? What else can you gain by saying those things in front of outsiders, except that people will laugh at you?"
Ji Ke pursed her lips and said nothing, but she looked unconvinced.
Seeing her like this, Ji Ling knew that she couldn't make anything out and couldn't communicate, so she stopped talking and turned to look at the street scene outside the window. Her mood was not affected, but she felt that it was good news.
