Enchanted (GL) - Chapter 75

At night, the evening breeze brought a chill. There is no nightlife in the country. It’s dark, and it’s quiet all around, just like entering a dormant period.

Ji Xi and Ji Nan live in a room with simple furnishings, only an old-fashioned wooden bed and a desk that has fallen out of paint, which they have used since childhood.

There are several sets of test papers spread out on the desk, printed densely with words, it is high school mathematics.

“The water is ready, you go take a bath.” Ji Nan walked in from outside the house, pulling his sleeves.

The rural conditions are poor, there is no water heater, the bath is always boiled water, and some cold water is added, and it is very troublesome to take a bath and wash your hair.

Ji Xi looked up: “You can wash it first.”

Ji Nan smiled and said: “I haven’t finished my test paper, so I want to sleep after taking a shower.”

After hearing this, Ji Xi put down the mobile phone in her hand, took her pajamas, and prepared to take a bath.

Ji Nan pulled the bench and sat down in front of the desk, picked up the gel pen on the desk and shook hands without lowering his head to do the question. He turned his head and peeked at Ji Xi, “Sister—”

Ji Xi looked at it and asked, “Will I have a question?”

“No.” After a pause, Ji Nan smiled and whispered gossip: “Did you fall in love?”

After coming back these few days, she found that Ji Xi would go outside to call, which was mysterious. It’s not the same as before.

“Make your paper.” Ji Xi was noncommittal. The country is conservative in thinking, and she didn’t plan to make a high-profile talk about her girlfriend.

Ji Nan bit her lip and smiled, and became more determined by the guess in her heart, thinking that her sister must be in a situation.

Ji Xi picked up her pajamas and walked outside the house. Ji Nan was immersed in solving the questions on the test paper and devoted himself to it. Only half of the problem was solved, and her thoughts were interrupted by a ringing of the phone.

The bell rang and answered.

Ji Nan stood up and picked up Ji Xi’s mobile phone. After looking at the phone display, he was silly, because the words “evil taste” were too garish.

After hesitating to answer, Ji Nan hung up on the other end of the phone. Ji Nan put down the phone, turned back to the desk and sat down, and continued to scan the test papers.

Ji Xi’s mobile phone was ringing with a notification, and within a few minutes, the electric ringing hummed again.

Ji Nan couldn’t sit still, so he picked up the phone and swiped to answer, fearing that the other party would find Ji Xi in an emergency, so don’t delay.

One connected.

“What are you doing, why did you answer my call?”

There was a gentle and nice female voice from the other end of the phone, and the tone of her speech–

Unable to say it, Ji Nan was really stunned when he heard it.

In fact, before answering the phone, Ji Nan subconsciously thought it would be a male voice. After all, Ji Xi remarked so special, she thought it was her boyfriend.

After being quiet for a second, Ji Nan explained meticulously: “My sister is taking a shower.”

Now it was Qiao Zhiyu’s turn to be quiet. She didn’t seem to have heard of Ji Xi mentioning having a younger sister. After hearing the voice of a strange girl, she immediately regained her usual “dignity”, “Yeah.”

“She should be washed right away, and I will ask her to call you back later.” Ji Nan said immediately. She has a sweet voice, especially when she is smiling and talking.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Ji Nan was a little voice-controlled, and felt that the other party’s voice was really good, and said politely: “Goodbye, sister.”

“Goodbye.” Qiao Zhiyu smiled and ended the call. Surprisingly, sister Ji Xi’s personality is cheerful and not boring at all.

The moon high in the night sky is getting rounder day by day. Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival.

On this kind of reunion festival, Qiao’s family will hold a family banquet, but Qiao Zhiyu wisely will not participate in this kind of occasion.

When everyone is reunited, it will make a person even more lonely. Qiao Zhiyu lay on his side on the bed, looking at the empty pillow, thinking of people in his heart.

Is it true that after experiencing the warmth of two people together, you will become more afraid of loneliness?

As if so, Qiao Zhiyu felt that the past few days have been so slow and so slow. Like a tortoise crawling. She closed her eyes and flashed through Ji Xi’s situation when she came back. It was only a few days before she thought it was like this.

It’s hard to separate when you are in love.

Qiao Zhi squinted for a while, and heard the vibration of the mobile phone beside her pillow, she immediately opened her eyes, touched the mobile phone, and connected with a smile, “Did you finish the bath?”

“Ok.”

“Your sister just answered the phone.”

“She told me.”

“Your sister’s mouth is sweeter than you, and she still calls my sister.” Qiao Zhiyu said with a smile. Only when she chats with Ji Xi, will she completely relax like this, her voice soft and lazy.

Ji Xi stood under the eaves, her mobile phone close to her ear, feeling quite unpromising. He could be picked up just by making a phone call and listening to Qiao Zhiyu’s voice.

I call every day, there are not many “nutritious” topics to talk about, but I just want to hear her voice. Both Qiao Zhiyu and Ji Xi are like this.

“It’s going to cool down in two days, you remember to wear more.”

Qiao Zhiyu laughed: “Why are you like an old cadre?”

Ji Xi paused to live, and she was studying and taking the initiative when she fell in love, but there was no interest in it, so it was really difficult to change.

Although Qiao Zhiyu made a joke, but at the bottom of his heart, he liked the plain warmth. Two people are thinking about each other, just understand their minds, and don’t need to talk sweet talks all the time.

Ji Xi looked down at the pebbles on the ground. In fact, she would care about Qiao Zhiyu’s complaints and worry that Qiao Zhiyu would find her bored.

“The temperature in the country is very low at night, right.”

“Well, it’s colder than Beilin.”

“I miss you.” There was no cohesion at all, but Qiao Zhiyu said it very naturally. She didn’t deliberately want to say this sentence, and at this moment, she blurted out naturally.

This sentence ignited a certain lead in Ji Xi’s heart. When you think of someone, she happens to say “I miss you” to you. This kind of sweetness can only be understood when you experience it.

Ji Xi looked up and looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky. There was one thing in her mind. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Will Qiao Zhiyu go home? According to Lu Feng, Qiao Zhiyu’s relationship with his family is very bad.

Before Qiao Zhi passed his birthday and was hospitalized, Ji Xi could also tell. After thinking about it again and again, she asked Qiao Zhiyu: “Are you at home tomorrow for the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

“…No.” Qiao Zhiyu’s tone was sad. He had a bit of selfish thoughts before. If Ji Xi was in the north, they could live together. She can only pin her thoughts about Reunion and her family on the other half.

“I’ll be back to the north tomorrow. Let’s have dinner together in the evening?” Ji Xi didn’t like this kind of reunion day because of some things he had experienced. Especially during the Chinese New Year, she would seem superfluous. After all, she was adopted, and there was always a lot of gossip. If you want to go home to accompany your grandmother, you can usually do, you don’t have to pick a holiday.

“Why come back early, it’s rare to go back, not stay at home for a few more days?”

Ji Xi found an excuse and said: “There is something wrong at work, I will be back tomorrow afternoon.”

She wants to come back early, and Qiao Zhiyu must be happy, “I’ll pick you up and have dinner together tonight.”

Ji Xi heard the smile in her voice and smiled: “Okay.”

The car that Ji Xi took on the return trip was unable to buy the ticket temporarily. There is a direct bus to the north from the county seat, which takes a long time, but there is no need to turn halfway, and it takes half a day to turn off.

Chen Xu Hospital had something to do, and he wanted to go back to the north, so he dropped by and got in the car with Ji Xi.

Long-distance buses can’t open the windows, it’s dull.

Chen Xu became a lot more talkative, and along the way, he said something about the past in junior high school. Ji Xi didn’t feel much to it, maybe he didn’t think it was such a beautiful memory.

I was bored for several hours, and didn’t arrive at the bus station to the north until about five o’clock.

When they got off the train at the station, the passengers swarmed towards the exit of the station. In normal times, there are not so many people in the car. Now is a special period.

“Where do you live? Let me call a car for you.” Chen Xu asked Ji Xi, holding his mobile phone.

“My friend came to pick me up.” Ji Xi declined, and as soon as she got out of the station, she looked around and quickly fixed her eyes on one spot.

Even in the crowd, it is not difficult to find Qiao Zhiyu, she is too provocative. Especially in the afternoon, I also dressed up carefully, which is even more eye-catching.

Qiao Zhi arrived early, and just happened to want to call Ji Xi when he saw Ji Xi walking out with a tall boy of the same age, pulling his suitcase. It seems to be together.

After seeing Ji Xi, Qiao Zhiyu put away his phone and walked forward. The closer he got, the more obvious the smile on his face.

From the moment he saw Qiao Zhiyu, Ji Xi’s eyes never moved away, “How long have you been waiting?”

“Not long.” Qiao Zhiyu reached out to help Ji Xi pull the suitcase.

“Hello.” Chen Xu saw Qiao Zhiyu and proactively greeted him.

“Hello.” Qiao Zhiyu replied politely, and raised his eyebrows to look at Ji Xi.

Ji Xi knows: “This is my classmate.”

Chen Xu smiled embarrassedly, and then said to Ji Xi: “Your friend will pick you up and I will leave first. I will contact you when I have time. I will invite you to dinner.”

Ji Xi smiled lightly. After Chen Xu left, she felt a cold light hitting herself, and she turned her head to see that it was Qiao Zhiyu staring at herself intently, as if she had a lot to say.

“Is the relationship good? Are you so enthusiastic about him?” Qiao Zhiyu frowned, and there was something in his words.

The atmosphere suddenly changed. Ji hopes Qiao Zhiyu’s face, and can’t help asking: “Which enthusiasm is there?”

“Isn’t it enthusiastic to invite you to dinner?” Qiao Zhiyu raised another rhetorical question.

“It’s just a polite remark. He is my junior high school classmate. We are in the same home and ride the bus together.” Ji Xi explained more seriously, afraid that Qiao Zhiyu would think too much. To be precise, she felt that Qiao Zhiyu was already thinking too much.

Qiao Zhiyu was able to grasp the key: “Well, that’s a childhood sweetheart. He looks very handsome.”

Ji Xi was caught off guard, “No. Where did you want to go.”

Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhi simply felt confident: “I’m jealous.”

Sentence after sentence.

“I…” Ji Xi didn’t know what to say, but was amused by Qiao Zhiyu. The first time she saw someone directly saying that she was jealous.

“You’re still laughing.” Qiao Zhiyu said, laughing himself.

Ji Xi endured a smile, but failed. She learned from Qiao Zhiyu’s previous confession and felt wronged: “…I was wrong.”

What else can I do if Baba admits wrong? Qiao Zhiyu smiled and took Ji Xi’s hand and clasped it on the palm of his hand, “Go back and talk about it.”

“Yeah.” Walking through the sunset holding hands, Ji Xi has a small smile on her face, which hasn’t dissipated.

From the bus station back to the apartment, it takes more than 40 minutes without traffic jams. It is not long or short.

In the elevator.

“Where is Xiao Qiao?”

“Today at her grandfather’s house.”

Ji Xi did not ask, she would not ask others about sensitive and fragile things, such as why Qiao Zhiyu did not agree with her family. She thought that Qiao Zhiyu would naturally tell her when he wanted to. She knows that proactively speaking and being asked are two different things.

Standing in front of the familiar house number, Ji Xi lowered his head and pressed the code lock.

There is no one in the corridor.

Qiao Zhiyu couldn’t hold back, and quietly embraced Ji Xi’s waist from his back, and then wrapped her in his arms. He hadn’t seen each other for many days. He really wanted to.

Suddenly she was hugged from behind, Xinxiang struck, hugged, Ji Xi’s fingertips froze, and instantly forgot where the password was entered.

Qiao Zhiyu glanced at Ji Xi from behind and smiled, his arms circled tighter, and enjoyed it.

Ji Xi looked back at Qiao Zhiyu and met Qiao Zhiyu’s gaze.

Qiao Zhiyu continued to laugh and whispered ambiguously, “Don’t let me hold you?”

“No.” Ji Xi replied with a heartbeat, and came to tease herself again, but she prefers her suit and likes it.

Smile at each other.

Qiao Zhiyu tilted his head, if his lips seemed to stick to the tips of Ji Xi’s ears, he dumbly reminded him: “Open the door first.”
