He is 26 years old this year. He and Ke Yi met when they worked in the same department of the company. After they met, they started dating and confirmed their relationship around the spring of this year.
After they confirmed their relationship, Ke Yi took Ji Junlin to meet almost all of her relatives and friends. He had also been to her grandmother's house.
And now, the two of them are about to get engaged in a few days. After the engagement, his identity will be even more convenient, basically equivalent to a member of the Ke family.
This time, Ke Yi brought him to grandma's house. Yesterday, grandma mentioned that He Xiao and Ke Yi were both young people, and they could have a meal together to get to know each other. Since she mentioned this, there was no need to make special arrangements for the meal. He Xiao and Tang Miao lived at grandma's house, so they could have dinner together at grandma's house.
After Ke Yi finished talking to her grandmother, she brought Ji Junlin over directly. When the two arrived, He Xiao and Tang Miao had not returned yet. They sat in the living room and chatted for a while before they heard the sound of a car outside. Not long after the car stopped, He Xiao and Tang Miao walked in.
He was a typical young talent. He wore a shirt and trousers, had a tall and slender figure, and looked handsome. Compared with He Xiao, Ji Junlin did not have the sharpness and vigor of a young man, but was gentle and elegant with an academic atmosphere.
He has a handsome appearance, a clean temperament, and a good appearance. Although Ke Yi has been in her own company for a while, it was only when she saw Ji Junlin that her eyes lit up.
He has a good temperament, gentle and not high-profile, with the bookish air of a scholar. Men with this image and temperament are often the most attractive to young ladies.
After Ke Yi and Ji Junlin arrived at grandma's house, they sat on the sofa respectively, and the three of them chatted about some things. Ji Junlin didn't talk much, but he didn't skip a word. He would basically reply to whatever grandma and Ke Yi said.
When He Xiao and Tang Miao's car stopped outside, Ke Yi was asking him something, and he was answering carefully. But after hearing the sound of the car, he stopped talking and looked towards the door.
The door at the entrance was pushed open, and He Xiao came in first. Ji Junlin's eyes swept over him, but didn't stop at him. Finally, he looked past him and looked at Tang Miao behind him.
Tang Miao and He Xiao came in hand in hand. After they came in, they also looked at the three people in the living room. Tang Miao first met her grandmother's eyes and smiled, then nodded to Ke Yiwei as a greeting. Until finally, her eyes fell on Ji Junlin who was sitting on the single sofa.
Seeing Ji Junlin, Tang Miao's expression and the emotions in her eyes did not cause any ripples in the sunset. She simply smiled at him and looked at her grandmother at the same time. When she looked over, her grandmother also understood what she meant and introduced him with a smile.
After grandma introduced Ji Junlin like this, she also introduced He Xiao and Tang Miao to Ji Junlin.
"They are Ke Yi's cousins, He Xiao and Tang Miao."
After his grandmother introduced himself, He Xiao glanced at Ji Junlin and nodded politely as a greeting. After He Xiao nodded, Tang Miao also nodded, and then He Xiao and Tang Miao walked into the living room together.
After He Xiao and Tang Miao entered the living room, they sat together on the double sofa opposite where she and Ke Yi were sitting. After they sat down, grandma asked with a smile.
"It's a museum and a former garden residence." Tang Miao said to his grandmother with a smile.
"You were in South City before, haven't you been there?" After Tang Miao said this, grandma was surprised. After all, these two are considered the more iconic attractions in South City, and Tang Miao has only been there now.
After grandma finished speaking, Tang Miao smiled and said simply: "I used to be busy with work, and when I had time off, I just wanted to rest, and rarely went out to play."
"That's it. You young people prefer to stay at home more." Grandma smiled understandingly.
After laughing, grandma asked, "Is it fun?"
"It's pretty good. The museum is magnificent, and the gardens are beautiful." Tang Miao answered his grandmother's question seriously. After answering, Tang Miao glanced at He Xiao and said with a smile, "We also took a lot of photos."
"Really? Let me see." Grandma said with a smile.
After she finished speaking, Tang Miao did not neglect it and opened the photo album on her phone and handed it to her. After the old woman took her phone, she started looking at it. Ke Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, was silent after the two came in. When her grandmother looked at the photos, she also looked at them.
"You also took a group photo." Ke Yi said this after seeing the photos of the two of them in the museum and the garden.
"Yeah." Tang Miao smiled, "I asked the tourists next to me to take the photo."
"Not bad, it's pretty good." Grandma said, "It's mainly because you two are good-looking."
After grandma praised her like this, Tang Miao smiled shyly, but did not say anything to refute her. She just smiled and said, "Thank you grandma."
After she thanked him, the old lady finished looking at the photos they took outside and handed her the phone.
"Haven't you and Junlin thought about going out for some fun?" After paying attention to her grandson, the old lady turned her attention to her granddaughter without any partiality.
After the old lady asked, Ke Yi glanced at Ji Junlin and said, "I will take a break for a while after the engagement is over, and then I will be ready to go out and play."
"Not yet." Ke Yi said. She didn't seem to be as interested in this topic as she was at the beginning, and even her answer seemed a bit perfunctory.
"It's good abroad. Europe and New Zealand are both nice. You can go out and have some fun and change your mood." Grandma smiled and said, "You're fine. You've been working a lot, Junlin needs to take a good rest."
Grandma mentioned Ji Junlin. After hearing her words, Ji Junlin looked at the old woman and smiled faintly.
Although the two families are relatives and are both at grandma's house, it was the first time they got together, so the atmosphere was still a little stiff.
Especially after He Xiao and Tang Miao came back, He Xiao and Tang Miao were fine, but Ji Junlin obviously spoke less, and Ke Yi also had some uncontrollable impetuous emotions.
Ke Yi had a bit of a temper. When she showed it, her grandmother gave her a look twice, and Ke Yi hid her eyes.
Afterwards, a few people chatted briefly in the living room, and grandma asked everyone to start dinner.
Grandma sat at the main seat, and the other two couples sat at opposite sides of the table. Because there were many people today, the dinner was even more sumptuous. At the table, there were young people, and they were all family members. The old lady was happier than yesterday. At the table, the old lady either asked He Xiao and Tang Miao whether they wanted to hold a wedding, or worried about Ke Yi and Ji Junlin's engagement.
Four people were able to handle one old man. They interacted with each other and occasionally continued the topic and chatted with each other.
After dinner, the group left the restaurant and went to the living room to drink tea as usual.
This time the tea is different from yesterday's, it is made by Tang Miao.
He Xiao drank it up in one gulp. When he tasted it, Tang Miao looked at him with a smile.
"You did it." When Tang Miao looked over, He Xiao also looked back at her and said this.
"Do you have to drink it before you can taste it?" Tang Miao said.
The door of the chess and card room was not closed, and the sounds inside were not blocked. Grandma was talking to Ke Yi, and occasionally He Xiao would say a few words. Along with the sound of talking, there was also the clattering sound of rubbing mahjong, which was clear and lively in the empty house.
No one could tell what his expression was now.
While he was in a daze, the sound of a door opening came from the direction of the chess and card room. Tang Miao whispered something to the people in the chess and card room, and then her footsteps were heard outside.
Seeing the affection between the couple, the grandmother was satisfied. They got married quickly, but it didn't seem to be a casual affair. They got married based on a certain emotional foundation.
"Go get me a glass of water."
Ji Junlin stood in front of the tea table, his fingers resting on the tea cup. He looked down at the motionless water in the cup in a daze.
The foundation of a family is affection, and deep affection can make a family happy and long-lasting.
Tang Miao looked at him, her eyes still calm without any change. She glanced at Ji Junlin, then walked down the carpeted steps.
There were five of them, and the mahjong was played by four people. In the end, He Xiao, Tang Miao and his wife, grandma, and Ke Yi formed a table. Ji Junlin, who was left alone, sat behind Ke Yi and helped her read the cards.
After a few rounds of mahjong, Ke Yi seemed to be not very focused since she started playing. In addition to feeding the cards, she made several mistakes. In this way, Ke Yi's emotions that had been accumulating since she came to her grandmother's house could no longer be suppressed.
The tea was still Tang Miao's scented tea. After pouring it, the aroma of flowers and fruits floated in the chess and card room. The peach taste was light and pleasant, with a hint of sweetness.
Tang Miao was right to win once or twice. If the old lady always let him win, she would find it boring. In this way, Tang Miao won twice, and the old lady felt happier.
Even if the scented tea tastes good, it's normal not to want to drink it. After Ke Yi said this, Ji Junlin didn't say anything and just left the chess and card room.
When she came out, water was still dripping from her hands. Tang Miao looked at her dripping fingers and thought about going to the chess and card room to find a tissue to wipe them. While thinking about this and walking downstairs, Tang Miao saw Ji Junlin.
There was no point in sitting around, so the old lady finally suggested going to the chess and card room to play mahjong. The younger generations agreed and followed her.
Perhaps it was because there was no one else, or perhaps it was the shock of Tang Miao standing right in front of him, the emotions in Ji Junlin's eyes surged uncontrollably. He looked up at Tang Miao, his lips and the light in his eyes moving slightly, as if he had a lot to say.
Ji Junlin turned around and looked towards the door of the tea room.
-
Upon smelling this smell, Ke Yi frowned and said to Ji Junlin beside her.
The two of them were getting closer and closer. Ji Junlin's eyes slowly turned red as she approached. His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his gaze slowly fell as Tang Miao walked until Tang Miao walked down from the last step.
The stairs leading up the stairs were carpeted, and her footsteps became silent as she went up the stairs. Ji Junlin stood in front of the tea table, waiting for a while, and heard the door of the room on the second floor open.
After leaving the chess and card room, Ji Junlin went to the tea room in the villa.
Tang Miao's footsteps were very light and not fast, just normal walking movements. Her footsteps came from the chess and card room, but she did not enter the tea room, but turned around and went up the stairs.
Several people sat idly in the living room for a while.
After playing mahjong for a long time, the old lady finally stopped and asked for a break. She had the chance to go to the bathroom.
After eating in the restaurant just now, Tang Miao didn't have time to go out. The old lady enthusiastically urged her to play mahjong, and they started playing directly in the chess and card room. She didn't feel embarrassed to interrupt.
Tang Miao went to the bathroom.
While talking, grandma asked Uncle Zhou beside her to pour her some tea.
Tang Miao's words were not a complaint, but a joke between the young couple. After she finished speaking, He Xiao said, "I can smell it."
-
Seeing Ji Junlin like this, Ke Yi's eyes moved, and her eyebrows frowned briefly. After frowning, she retracted her gaze, leaned back on the sofa, a hint of sneer flashed in her eyes, and she didn't say anything.
"Peaches and jasmine." He Xiao said.
Playing mahjong at home is mainly for entertainment, and the game is not very big. Moreover, mahjong was introduced by the old lady, and the three younger generations also know how to feed her cards.
This is good.
His image was reflected on the water surface. Ji Junlin lowered his eyes and looked at it for a long time without any movement.
Ji Junlin had already withdrawn his gaze after Tang Miao finished speaking. He sat on the sofa, drinking the scented tea in his hand.
Tang Miao went back to the bathroom in the room and washed his hands after using the bathroom. Fearing that the old lady would wait for too long, Tang Miao did not even have time to wipe his hands before leaving the room.
-
In fact, the main people who fed cards were He Xiao and Ke Yi. Tang Miao didn't play mahjong very often, and he wasn't very good at it. Sometimes, He Xiao fed cards to Tang Miao once or twice by accident, and he could win one or two times.
The two of them didn't seem to notice their gazes. They spoke in low voices. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and separated, with a faint smile in their eyes.
"Miaomiao..." Ji Junlin looked at Tang Miao, his voice trembling uncontrollably from his throat.
Fortunately, her grandmother easily noticed her mood and fed her a hand of cards. Ke Yi, who won, looked a little better. Her grandmother took the opportunity to say, "Take a break. It's tiring to keep playing."
His head was lowered, and his eyelashes drooped darkly, blocking out the light and shadow, as well as the emotions in his eyes.
This kind of small-scale conversation between two people would not be noticed unless you paid special attention. The sofa in the living room only had so much space. When Tang Miao was talking to He Xiao in a low voice, the other three people also glanced over here.
When He Xiao and Tang Miao were talking, Ke Yi also glanced at them. After the glance, there was no emotion in her eyes, but she looked at Ji Junlin who was sitting on the single sofa next to them.
It wasn't his first time in the house, so he was quite familiar with the place. In the tea room, there was Ke Yi's cup. Ji Junlin took the cup and poured her a cup of warm water.
Ji Junlin came out to pour water for Ke Yi, and he was holding Ke Yi's water cup in his hand. He stood at the entrance of the stairs, a distance away. The door of the chess and card room was not closed, but he could not see where they were.
Not to mention others, even she, an old lady who is used to seeing couples, can see the natural emotions between the two.
There was no one in the tea room. There was no work to do at night, and the servants had basically gone back to their rooms. Only Uncle Zhou stayed in the chess and card room. The tea room was quiet, with the fragrance of green tea wafting in the air, which dispersed the peach scent wrapped around him.
His lips trembled as he spoke, as if he had countless words to say to Tang Miao. He called Tang Miao like this and was about to continue talking, but after he called her name, Tang Miao turned around and looked at him calmly.
"Shut up." Tang Miao said.
Ji Junlin was also looking at her.
After He Xiao finished saying this, the smile in Tang Miao's eyes deepened. She looked at He Xiao for a while, then smiled and looked away and took a sip of tea.
Tang Miao lowered his fingers and glanced down at Ji Junlin who was standing there from the steps.
