âBig Brother, are you done? When are you coming back?â Ji Yuanyuan asked straightforwardly.
âHave you finished eating? Have everyone returned yet?â Ji Zixuan asked.
âI just finished eating. Everyone is here!â
Ji Zixuan hesitated for a moment before saying softly, âIâm not done yet. 1 donât know how long Iâll be busy. If itâs too late, I wonât go home to sleep tonight.â
âIs that soâ¦â Ji Yuanyuan sighed. âAlright, Iâll tell Mom and Dad.â
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yuanyuan spread out his hands, âBig Brother might not be able to come back tonight.â
Fang Xinyi pursed her lips and whispered, âForget it then. Help me return the book to your brother. As for the questions, Iâll ask the teacher on Monday.â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, âAlright, Iâll tell him when he comes back.â
Yang Jingyi sat there quietly.
Suddenly, she stood up and said, âYuanyuan, Iâm leaving now. Iâll come and play with you another day.â
She grabbed her bag and was about to leave.
Fang Xinyiâs school and Yang Jingyiâs school were in opposite directions from Ji Yuanyuanâs house, so they couldnât go together.
Thus, Fang Xinyi watched Yang Jingyi leave without saying anything.
However, not long after Yang Jingyi left, Fang Xinyi also left.
Only Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng were left in the living room.
In front of Qin Mucheng, Ji Yuanyuan no longer concealed himself and sighed helplessly, âMy Big Brother is really a sinnerâ¦â
Qin Mucheng came over and asked curiously, âYou can tell?â
âWhat?â Ji Yuanyuan blinked. âIf you can tell, how can I not?â
Qin Mucheng chuckled and deliberately asked, âWhat are your thought then?â
âFang Xinyi and Yang Jingyi are equally important to me, so 1 can only pretend not to know. Besides, was this something I could decide? It depends on what Big Brother thinks.â
âYouâre right!â Qin Mucheng nodded.
âWhy donât we go out for a walk?â He suggested after a pause. âHow about I drive you to see the stars?â
Ji Yuanyuanâs expression was apologetic, âNo, 1 canât go out tonight. I have to stay at home and look after Second Brother. Otherwise, what if he sneaks out?â âHe doesnât have a car even if he wants to run out!â Qin Mucheng said.
âThat wonât do either. What if he has a way? 1â11 stay at home and watch him!â Ji Yuanyuan whispered.
Although Qin Mucheng was a little disappointed, he did not show it. He quietly accompanied Ji Yuanyuan in the living room to watch the television series.
After staying in the study for about an hour, Ji Ziâang finally came out.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun had already returned to the master bedroom. The two of them had been quite busy recently. It was not easy for them to rest at night, so the two of them naturally wanted to talk alone.
Ji Ziang looked around and asked Ji Yuanyuan, âAre Dad and Mom in the bedroom?â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, âYes!â
He took a few steps forward and stood at the door of the master bedroom.
He took a deep breath and knocked on the master bedroom door.
âCome in!â Li Xuâs voice sounded very quickly.
He took another deep breath and exhaled heavily before pushing the door open.
Ji Yuanyuan took the remote control and turned the volume down to the minimum. After exchanging a glance with Qin Mucheng, they both perked up their ears.
The house was soundproof, so she couldnât hear what the three of them were talking about in the living room.
âWhat?â Soon, Li Xuâs furious roar came from the room.
Ji Yuanyuan did not have any defenses and was scared to the point of cowering.
Qin Mucheng quickly reached out and patted her back gently.
A moment later, Ji Ziâangâs pleading voice was heard, âI was wrong, Mom. Donât hit me, donât hit meâ¦â
Ji Yuanyuan shrunk her neck and looked at Qin Mucheng, âBig Brother
Mucheng, letâs go look at the stars!â
Qin Mucheng smiled and his eyes lit up, âGood!â
He took the car keys, held Ji Yuanyuanâs hand, and quietly went downstairs.
An hour later, Ji Ziâang came out of the master bedroom with his eyebrows lowered. When he wanted to look for the car keys, he realized the car keys, Ji Yuanyuan, and Qin Mucheng were gone.
He hurriedly ran to the window and looked downstairs.
The sports car that was parked downstairs had also disappeared.
He touched his butt and gasped in pain.
âIâm not even going to the competition. Why did you drive it away? Lend it to me for fun.â
âAlright, since your father and 1 have promised you, we wonât go back on our words. There will be plenty of opportunities to satisfy yourselves in the future.â Li Xu snapped when she heard his words.
They should support their childrenâs hobbies.
Although his hobby was a little dangerous, he liked it.
When Li Xu heard Ji Ziâang confess about his past participation in illegal car racing, she had already thought it through.
Instead of letting the child secretly train and participate in illegal competitions, it was better to let him participate in formal training and then join an official team. Perhaps he could really get a medal or something.
No oneâs path of growth would be smooth sailing. The danger was everywhere. As parents, they could not always protect their children within the impenetrable city walls.
When the children grew up, let them do what they liked.
It was rare to be young!
Some things were too late if they were not done when they were young.
Under the starry sky in the suburbs.
Qin Mucheng lowered the roof of the sports car and adjusted the seat back.
The two of them lay on the chair and looked at the starry sky.
The air was a little cold. Qin Muchengâs right hand was tightly wrapped around Ji Yuanyuanâs left hand.
âHow do you plan to spend your winter vacation?â Qin Mucheng suddenly asked.
âWhat else can 1 do? Iâll just live like that. Iâll stay at home and help my parents look after the shop.â Ji Yuanyuan knew what Qin Mucheng was thinking about and spoke deliberately.
It was obvious that after hearing Ji Yuanyuanâs words, Qin Mucheng sounded a little disappointed, âIs that all?â
âWhat else can I do?â Ji Yuanyuan tilted her head and looked at Qin Mucheng while holding back her laughter.
Qin Mucheng also turned his head. When he saw Ji Yuanyuanâs expression, he finally understood.
âYou know.â Qin Mucheng said in a low voice, feeling a little embarrassed.
âIâm fine with it, but Iâm afraid that my parents wonât agree!â Ji Yuanyuan sighed softly.
She knew Qin Mucheng wanted her to stay in M Country for two days.
The two of them were now in different places and the days when they could see each other could be counted on one hand.
It was not easy to have a holiday, and he did not want to waste it.
However, she was still not eighteen years old. Furthermore, she had not confirmed her relationship with Qin Mucheng yet. Her family would probably not agree to it.
âI wonât do anything to you. You have to explain it to Uncle and Auntie. Or, you can go with Brother Zixuan or Ziâang. Uncle and Auntie can be at ease, right?â Qin Mucheng could not help but say in a moment of desperation.
Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuanâs face could not help but turn red.
After a moment of silence, she whispered, âThen Iâll go home and discuss it with my parents..â
