âTeacher Wu, do you have friends coming over?â Ji Yuanyuan asked when Wu Qiuyun put down her phone.
Wu Qiuyun waved her hand. âItâs my boyfriend. Itâs okay. You guys can eat.â
Ji Yuanyuan and Cao Xiaorui looked at each other, their eyes lit up.
Cao Xiaorui quickly swallowed the beef in her mouth and asked nosily, âTeacher Wu, how long have you been together? What kind of person was he? Is he good to you?â
âWeâve been together for two years, and heâs been good to me. As for what kind of person he is, youâll know when you see him later.â
âTwo years? Then when are you getting married? I have to plan and save up the money in advance.â Cao Xiaorui asked with a smile.
Wu Qiuyun smiled helplessly. âIâm already 50 years old. Whatâs the point of getting married?â
âHow can you be fifty? There are still a few years left.â Ji Yuanyuan quickly said.
Cao Xiaorui looked at Wu Qiuyunâs expression and said boldly, âYou can still have children at your age. Donât you want to have your own child?â
Wu Qiuyun was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She picked up her chopsticks and pretended to throw them at Cao Xiaoruiâs head. âI realize that youâre not taking me seriously anymore. Youâre so rude.â
Cao Xiaorui smiled embarrassedly. âIâm only like this because I have a good relationship with you.â
Wu Qiuyun couldnât help but laugh. âDonât worry. Iâm not getting married. You donât have to save up money for me. Keep the money to buy meat.â
âSo your boyfriend also agreed?â Cao Xiaorui was a little surprised.
âHe has a child. The child is about to get married. Itâs good for the two of us to maintain the status quo. Thereâs no interest involved, and our relationship is purer.â Wu Qiuyun said with a smile.
Ever since a few years ago, after a few of them experienced Duan Wenguangâs matter together, Wu Qiuyun was no longer just their teacher.
They were more like friends and could talk a lot.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. âItâs fine as long as you think have thought about it. It doesnât matter whether you have a child or not. Although Iâve given birth to a child, Iâve never expected the child to be filial to me in the future.â
Wu Qiuyun was about to say something when her eyes lit up, and she stood up.
Ji Yuanyuan and Cao Xiaorui quickly stood up and looked back.
A muscular man with a square face was walking over with a smile.
âI happened to be nearby.â
âTeacher, isnât this the police officer who was in charge of Senior Brother Duanâs case?â Ji Yuanyuan turned around and looked at Wu Qiuyun in surprise. âOfficer Liao?â
She said with some uncertainty.
The square-faced man looked at Wu Qiuyun with some admiration. âYouâre right. Your two students are especially smart.â
With that, he was already in front of her.
âHello, my surname is Liao, Iâm called Liao Zhizhong.â He extended his hand to Ji Yuanyuan.
âHello, Mr. Liao.â Ji Yuanyuan quickly reached out and shook his hand.
After shaking hands with Ji Yuanyuan and Cao Xiaorui, Liao Zhizhong sat down beside Wu Qiuyun.
Liao Zhizhong looked serious, but he was actually quite talkative.
At the dining table, the four of them ate happily.
After the meal, Ji Yuanyuan tactfully pulled Cao Xiaorui and left first.
On the way back, Cao Xiaorui said enviously, âYour memory is really good. You still remember what happened three years ago so clearly.â
Hearing this, the smile on Ji Yuanyuanâs face slowly disappeared.
After a moment, she sighed. âIâm afraid I wonât forget what happened back then.â
Cao Xiaorui naturally also knew that Ji Yuanyuan was talking about Duan Wenguangâs matter.
She stopped smiling and sighed.
When they returned to the hospital, it was almost time to go to work.
When she got home from work, Tangtang moved a small stool and waited for her at the door.
Qin Mucheng stood behind her and looked at her from a distance.
âItâs such a cold day. Why did you let her stay outside?â Ji Yuanyuan hurriedly got out of the car.
She took two steps forward and carried Tangtang.
The childâs hands were cold. She did not know how long she had been frozen outside.
âMom, our teacher taught us another poem today. Let me recite it for you, okay?â
So that was why she was waiting at the door.
Ji Yuanyuan knew that Tangtang was a child with a strong desire to show off.
âCarry her into the house first. Iâll drive the car in,â Qin Mucheng said softly.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. âThe keys are in the passenger seat. You can look for them.â
Then, she carried Tangtang into the house. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As she walked, she discussed with Tangtang. âIn the future, no matter how much you want to see Mommy, you canât wait outside anymore, okay? Itâs so cold outside. When your hands are cold, Mommyâs heart aches.â
Initially, Ji Yuanyuanâs hands were holding Tangtangâs hands.
After Ji Yuanyuan said that, Tangtang struggled and took her hand out of Ji Yuanyuanâs.
âMy hand is cold. Mommy can hold my hand when itâs warm,â she said in a childish voice.
She was afraid that her cold hand would make Ji Yuanyuanâs hand cold.
Realizing this, Ji Yuanyuan felt a warm feeling in her heart.
âBe good. In the future, wait for Mommy in the house with Grandma. Mommy will look for you as soon as I come back.â
âAlright.â Tangtang thought about it and nodded.
After entering the house, Cheng Shuqin came out of the kitchen.
âMy goodness, itâs cold outside, isnât it?â Her heart ached as she took Tangtang from Ji Yuanyuanâs hands.
Tangtang, however, clung to Ji Yuanyuanâs neck with all her might and refused to let go.
âBe good. Grandma will carry you for a while. Mommy needs to wash her hands and eat.â Cheng Shuqin coaxed.
Only then did Tangtang let go.
Ji Yuanyuan washed her hands and sat down beside Tangtang.
âMommy, do you want to hear me recite the poem?â Tangtang tugged at her clothes.
âYes, I really want to hear it,â Ji Yuanyuan said hurriedly.
Tangtang blinked her eyes and shook her head as she began to recite, âThe bright moon in front of the bed, I suspect itâs the frost on the groundâ¦â
After she finished reciting, Ji Yuanyuan gave her face and applauded. âWow, Tangtang is too awesome.â
The little girl raised her head proudly after being praised.
After dinner, Tangtang clung to Ji Yuanyuan for a while and then went to Qin Junshan to fold some origami.
Ji Yuanyuan was free. She thought of what happened during the day and took out her phone hesitantly.
He found Ji Zixuanâs number and hesitated on whether to call him.
Just as Ji Yuanyuan was hesitating, Qin Mucheng sat down beside her. âWhatâs wrong? Do you need something from Big Brother?â
Ji Yuanyuan thought for a moment and whispered into Qin Muchengâs ear. âI met Yang Jingyiâs ex-boyfriend at the hospital today. He asked me if I knew Xi Xinâan. He said that he saw someone called Xi Xinâan sending a message to Yang Jingyi.â
Qin Mucheng looked a little surprised.
âIâm thinking if I should give my brother a call. He and Xi Xinâanâ¦â
Before Ji Yuanyuan could finish speaking, Tangtang ran over and lay on her knees. âDad, Mom, what are you whispering about?â
Tangtangâs hand happened to touch Ji Yuanyuanâs phone screen, and she made the call.
By the time Ji Yuanyuan realized it, the call was already connected..
