Enchanted (GL) - Chapter 74

The wind lifted the hair on Ji Xi’s forehead. She squinted in the sun, and the man in front of her looked strange.

“You don’t recognize me? Chen Xu.” Chen Xu finished speaking, deliberately drumming his cheeks, doing a vivid imitation, “Chen Yueban.”

Ji Xi’s memory was opened up when the other party mentioned her name and nickname. She looked at the long and thin man in front of her, Ji Xi paused for a while, then said flatly: “You have lost a lot of weight.”

“I lost tens of catties in college.” Chen Xu said with a smile: “It’s good to lose weight, and it’s good for your body.”

“Ok.”

Ji Xi has a good memory, but he is selective and only remembers some relatively key people and things. She still remembers Chen Xu. Chen Xu was her classmate when she was in junior high school in the township. As for why she remembered it, it was probably because she and Chen Xu were the only students in the whole class. Instead, it will become “heterogeneous.”

Later, Ji Xi High School went to the best high school in the county, and Chen Xu’s score was slightly worse, and went to the fourth high school, which ranked second. Later, Chen Xu’s family moved out of the country, and the two never met again.

Speaking of it, it was all ten years ago.

“I’ll help you.”

“No.” Ji Xi said.

Chen Xu still helped Ji Xi pull through the suitcase: “It’s okay, you did not help me less before.”

The trunk wheel continued to rumble, and the two followed the familiar road towards the farmyard.

“I just went for a walk in the mountains. We haven’t seen each other since graduating from junior high school? I am coming back to accompany my grandpa this time.” Chen Xu said as he walked, “I heard that you passed the exam of Q and you are the top prize in science. ,so amazing.”

Ji Xi lightly smiled, Chen Xu in her impression was very few, and she was a little inferior, which was not the case anyway. It can be seen that time can really change a lot.

“Are you staying at Beilin to work?”

“Ok.”

“I’m also in the north, but I haven’t graduated yet, and I’m doing an internship in the hospital.”

“Congratulations, I became a doctor.”

“Do you remember it so long?”

“remember.”

…

I chatted a few words along the way. Chen Xu was still a little excited when he met an old classmate he hadn’t seen in ten years. In contrast, Ji Xi appeared to be too indifferent, and there were not many waves in his emotions.

“You don’t seem to have changed much.” Chen Xu couldn’t help but say.

“is it?”

“Feeling.” Chen Xu smiled.

Ji Xi did not refute that for so many years, she did not change much, as always, stubbornly advancing toward the goal, but the goals at different stages were different.

Chen Xu enthusiastically helped Ji Xi deliver the luggage home. The two of them are together, and a little further up, it is the old house of Chen Xu’s family.

In the small yard, a girl with a ponytail is chatting with the old man and enjoying the sun. The girl is petite, holding a wood-colored guitar in her arms, tilting her head and playing minor tunes leisurely. It’s amazing to hear such a sound in the country.

Hearing the sound of pulling the suitcase getting closer, Grandma Ji and Ji Nan raised their heads almost at the same time.

“Grandma, I’m back.” Ji Xi raised her tone slightly.

“I’m back.” Ji Nipple grinned, happily writing on her face. Knowing that my granddaughter is coming back today, I was waiting in the yard specially.

When Ji Nan saw Ji Xi, her eyes lit up. She put down the guitar and got up hurriedly, “Sister, you haven’t eaten yet, I’m going to warm up your food.”

“Don’t heat it up, I’ve eaten it.” Ji Xi called to Ji Nan, and ate a piece of dry bread in front of the bus. She doesn’t have a big appetite. Sometimes when she is busy at work, she forgets to eat.

Ji Nan smiled and moved Ji Xi’s luggage back to the house. Ji Xi followed into the house and poured a glass of water to drink.

The room is dilapidated and old, the light is not very good, and it is colder than the outside.

“Sister, how many days are you taking off this time?” Ji Nan rushed to help Ji Xi pour water.

“The National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival together for eight days.” Ji Xi said.

“You can take a good rest, I hear you always work overtime.”

“How about you, are you busy with school work?” Ji Xi greeted with a drink of water.

“Fortunately, I can handle it. You’ll be fine at home, I can ask you.”

When Ji Nan smiled, there was a dimple on his face, which was very sweet. Although he was a sister who grew up together, Ji Nan’s personality was much more cheerful and talkative than Ji Xi. I have my sister taking care of me since I was a child, but it will be different in the end.

After pouring two glasses of water, Ji Xiji Nan returned to the yard and found that Grandma Ji was holding Chen Xu and chatting enthusiastically. Those who didn’t know thought it was her grandson. The old people are like this, especially polite and enthusiastic.

Ji Xi approached: “Drink some water.”

“Thank you.” Chen Xu took the disposable cup from Ji Xi.

“Xixi, you two were still classmates before.” Grandma Ji recalled what happened many years ago. “At that time, you two moved two benches together to do your homework when school was over. I still remember that Chen Xu paid Not as tall as you, but now I am tall and thin.”

Chen Xu listened, “Grandma still remembers, I like to eat dried sweet potatoes. You keep a lot of them for me every time. I’m embarrassed to take them back if I can’t finish them.”

When people are old, they like to talk about these trivial pasts. Grandma Ji is no exception. She pondered for a while and asked Chen Xu with a smile, “Did you talk about girlfriends?”

When Grandma Ji asked this, Ji Xi immediately felt something.

Chen Xu smiled dryly: “…nothing.”

“Xixi doesn’t have a boyfriend either.” Grandma Ji sees a needle. She is looking forward to Ji Xi getting married, and it is not a day or two. Especially here, many girls are married in their early twenties. Ji Xi was studying in the past and it was not easy to remind her. Now that Ji Xi has graduated, Grandma Ji feels that the matter of getting married cannot be dragged on forever.

Ji Xi was embarrassed.

Chen Xu was also a little embarrassed, and drank dullly.

“Xixi, Chen Xu also went to graduate school, and he is still a doctor now.” The older generation would be envious as long as they heard about professions such as teachers, doctors, and civil servants. On the contrary, they felt that Jixi, a girl who worked alone in a big city, felt bad. , Unstable.

“You are all in the north, so you can take care of each other…”

“Grandma,” Ji Xi reluctantly interrupted Grandma Ji, “the north is very big.”

“It’s okay.” Chen Xu eased his embarrassment and asked Ji Xi smoothly, “Old classmate, do you want to add a contact information?”

When Grandma Ji heard her, her eyes were squeezed together with a smile, and the folds on her face were full of smiles, wishing to bring the two together.

At sunset, the mountains stretch in the distance, shrouded in warm yellow afterglow. The evening scenery in the countryside is not worse than that in the city, it is a slow-paced natural beauty.

A small table was set up in the yard, and a few dishes were placed, and the three of them ate dinner outside.

Knowing that Ji Xi was coming back, the dinner was a little richer, so Grandma Ji specially stewed her chicken.

“You eat more and look at you who are skinny.” Grandma Ji kept taking food to Ji Xi, “I definitely didn’t eat well outside.”

Ji Xi took a small bite of rice and felt warm. Although she was adopted, grandma never treated her as an outsider. She still remembered that when she first came to Ji’s house, she never dared to eat meat dishes. She only ate a little bit when her grandma put it in her bowl.

If it weren’t for her grandmother and sister, she might not even know what family affection is like, and would not want to come back and see.

After the meal was not eaten for a while, Grandma Ji winked at Ji Xi and chatted: “The grandson of the old head Chen’s family is very good, and he looks much better after losing weight.”

Ji Xi understood her thoughts: “Grandma, don’t talk nonsense, it will make people embarrassed.”

“Why nonsense? I think you are quite suitable.” Grandma Ji looked at Ji Nan, and wanted to get a helper, “Nan Nan, don’t you think?”

Ji Nan pretended to be stupid, and didn’t say anything to eat obediently. Don’t ask me if I don’t understand.

“You should be a target at your age. You can’t always be outside alone.” Grandma Ji said, again a common topic.

Ji Xi was chewing on rice and was speechless. If she said she had a girlfriend, she would frighten the old man. She didn’t say much, but just followed the words and said perfunctorily: “Well, I will find a suitable one.”

Sometimes Ji Xi thinks that no one cares about her and there are benefits that no one cares about her. Now that she is independent, everything can be decided by herself. There is not so much to worry about.

Grandma Ji was shrewd and came back: “Chen Xu is not quite suitable.”

Ji Xi frowned and quickly changed the subject, “Your legs are better, aren’t you? I’ll take you to the hospital for an examination tomorrow.”

“It’s much better to rest for a few days, no need to go.” Grandma Ji waved her hand and shook her head, muttering disgustingly, “Going to the hospital has to spend wrong money.”

“It doesn’t cost much.” Ji Xi persuaded, “It’s better to check it. I just have a holiday and I have time.”

Grandma Ji didn’t want to go for anything, she was very stubborn, saying that she was okay, she was in a tough body, and she could still work on the ground.

Ji Xi can’t tell the truth from the false. Many times her grandmother said she was not feeling well because she hoped that she could come back and see her.

When the phone rang, Ji Xi swiped the screen to read the news, and it was indeed Qiao Zhiyu who sent it.

One picture, two messages.

“Eating dinner”

“have you eaten?”

In the photo, Qiaoqing was eating rice obediently, at a glance, the exquisite dining table, exquisite tableware, and exquisite dinner.

Ji Xi silently stared at the photo on the screen. She knew the gap between her and Qiao Zhiyu, but after seeing the comparison between this photo and herself… the gap was so concrete.

She returned to Qiao Zhiyu: “I am eating too”

Qiao Zhiyu sent: “What did you eat?”

Ji Xi looked at the simple wooden table and the rice bowl with cracks and cracks in front of her. She hesitated. Instead of taking pictures, she typed in reply: “Chicken and Eggplant”

After a while, Qiao Zhiyu sent a voice that was several seconds long.

Ji Xi clicked on, the phone pressed to her ear, and the voice on the other end was terribly gentle: “I learned a few dishes from Aunt Li today, and I will cook it for you when I come back.”

Ji Xi clicked and listened to this voice message twice.

I missed her on the first day.
