Because they drove, it took them more than three hours to reach Tiancun.
After arriving at the door, Meng Manxing stared at Ji Jialin's somewhat tired eyes and invited him.
"Ji Jialin, do you want to go in and sit for a while?"
"That's fine. I'm tired from driving for so long."
Ji Jialin rubbed his temples and quickly agreed.
Coming here again, Meng Mu was even more enthusiastic than the first time.
Meng Manxing saw that her mother had misunderstood something, but she was too lazy to explain. After all, Ji Jialin should only have this one chance to come again?
Ji Jialin, who was sitting in the living room, greeted them politely. While Meng Manxing was not in the living room, he went to Grandma Meng's door and knocked.
Grandma Meng in the room seemed to have known that Ji Jialin would come to see her. After hearing the noise, she slowly turned off the radio and spoke.
"Come in."
"Hello, grandma."
Ji Jialin came in and looked at Grandma Meng who was looking at him and greeted her politely.
"Xiao Ji, please sit down. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
He looked at the kind old lady in front of him and spoke directly without beating around the bush.
"Grandma, what did you mean by that last sentence?"
"What I mean is that I can help you solve your doubts."
"What's wrong, Xiaoji? Who stopped you from chasing stars?"
Grandma Meng turned her head and looked out the window. The weather outside was good and the sun was shining brightly. She raised her old hands to feel the warm sun, and her slightly wrinkled brows relaxed.
"Grandma, let me be frank. Can a devil and an angel be together?"
Although Ji Jialin had never seen Meng Manxing transform, since her blood could allow him to do so, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Of course that's fine, but..."
Hearing this pause, he suddenly became nervous.
"But your children will only be ordinary people, with no possibility of transformation."
"Isn't this great?"
He spoke out when he heard this.
"Yeah, that's good. It's meant to be."
Grandma Meng felt a little sad when she thought of her daughter and other ancestors who had tragic endings.
From possessing divine powers at the beginning, to gradually evolving through generations, finally only a pair of wings that can fly are left.
Fortunately, the first generation of angels were very foresighted. When they still had powerful divine powers, they set restrictions in their bloodlines. Once they told their identities to anyone other than their own tribe, if the other party felt extremely fearful, the memory of this would be blurred, and if they had the intention to harm others, they would directly die of brain death.
This taboo has allowed their lineage to live safely without attracting attention to this day.
In addition, the ancestral teachings and the strict teaching of every elder have prevented the next generation from becoming mentally retarded so far.
Grandma Meng looked at the closed door, turned on the radio again and continued listening to the opera.
She was lucky. Although she kept the secret until her husband was about to die, she revealed the truth. However, her husband was not afraid. He accepted it naturally and even said that he wanted to marry her in the next life.
Because of their happiness, her daughter told the truth to her husband one day, but unfortunately, the man's memory was erased.
Grandma Meng recalled the past and hummed along with the opera. Fortunately, her granddaughter would have a good ending.
Ji Jialin felt relieved and didn't intend to disturb Meng Manxing and her family, so he said goodbye and left quickly.
The summer in Lingcheng has quietly passed, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The National Design Competition ended today.
The results of the national contestants will be announced one week later.
Liang Chan never bothered Meng Manxing because she went abroad.
Meng Manxing was a little surprised when he first heard the news.
Given Liang Chan's personality, it is unlikely that she would leave.
It seems that Teacher Lin has put a lot of effort into her this time, even threatening Liang's father.
It was not until later that Meng Manxing found out that Ji Jialin was also involved, and that the price Liang Chan paid was not just going abroad.
She watched the students leave the stadium in an orderly manner, and they took a long time to come out slowly.
It is now autumn in Lingcheng, and today it is raining continuously.
After three days of competition, Meng Manxing looked at the gray sky above his head and stretched lazily at the entrance of the stadium.
Suddenly, there was a beeping sound from the side.
"Come up, I'll take you back to school."
Meng Manxing saw Ji Jialin suddenly appear. Although she was surprised, she didn't want to block traffic, so she got in quickly.
"Ji Jialin, why are you here?"
During this month, Ji Jialin seemed to have become a different person. He was not as sharp-tongued as before and would bring her milk tea from time to time.
After Meng Manxing found out, she quietly started to distance herself from him. Ji Jialin noticed her estrangement, so he stopped drinking milk tea and returned to his previous attitude.
This recovery prevented her from blocking Ji Jialin on WeChat.
"What? Can't I come? We're friends after all. It's not too much for me to pick you up after your game, right?"
"That's right."
Meng Manxing nodded without refutation. The stadium was quite far from their school, and having someone drive her saved her the money of taking the bus.
"Manxing, you didn't perform at the school anniversary, did you?"
As the car was about to arrive at the school, Ji Jialin pretended to speak casually.
"No, I've been so busy this month that I don't have the energy to participate."
She shook her head.
This month she was preparing for the competition and was also in charge of some matters related to the school anniversary, so she was extremely busy.
This also made her brain work a little slowly, and she didn't notice Ji Jialin's little thoughts.
"Then it's just right that you go to the school lake to wait for me at 7 o'clock in the evening on the school anniversary. I have something to tell you."
When Meng Manxing heard this, he calculated the date and it was tomorrow.
"Is there anything you can't say now?"
Although she was not interested in the school anniversary, it was nice to go and see the excitement.
"There's not enough time now, that night."
Ji Jialin spoke mysteriously.
Meng Manxing was not very interested in the school anniversary, but he agreed.
"Okay."
The school anniversary is coming soon.
That night, many senior and junior students planned to attract Ji Jialin's attention at the school anniversary performance, but no one showed up!
Next to the school's small lake.
Meng Manxing saw that it was only a few minutes before seven o'clock, so he sat on the same chair as before, swinging his legs and waiting.
Seven o'clock arrives.
A large amount of fireworks exploded at the school anniversary event site in the distance.
The gorgeous fireworks made Meng Manxing forget that he was waiting for someone, and he looked up to admire them carefully.
A minute later, the fireworks gradually died down, and Ji Jialin appeared at this time.
"Full stars."
Ji Jialin was dressed extra formally today, unlike his usual lazy look. Even every hair was exquisite.
"What do you want to say by inviting me here?"
Meng Manxing looked at Ji Jialin, who was dressed more formally than usual, and felt inexplicably flustered.
Are you trying to confess?
It’s good enough that Ji Jialin didn’t cheat her.
She couldn't help but wander in thought.
"Manxing, I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?"
Ji Jialin is a person who doesn't like to hide things. Since he has decided to confess, he won't drag it out. He walks up to Meng Manxing and speaks directly.
"......sorry."
Meng Manxing looked at Ji Jialin with a serious expression and gave an answer after a long silence.
She thought...she would never agree to anyone in her life.
