This was not the first time this happened to Sister Ji, so Ji's mother and Sister Ji followed suit.
When Ji's father came back, he would say nothing except to tell her not to be embarrassed.
Seeing that no reinforcements could be brought in, Sister Ji yelled a few more times and then basically stopped, doing whatever she had to do, as if she had changed her face, as if she had forgotten about it. This change made Ding Xi stunned for a time.
The second sister Ji's talk was just as bad as the eldest sister Ji's. The two of them gathered together and began to murmur again. From time to time, they glanced at Ding Xi from the corner of their eyes and continued to discuss with their heads down and their mouths covered.
Her two daughters were running around in the yard, playing in the mud, and occasionally came to Ding Xi, observing her curiously with their eyes wide open.
Ding Xi showed a friendly smile.
"Call Auntie." Ji Huai was gentle to the two little nieces and even teased them.
The two little girls were less than five years old, and they probably had no one to take care of them. They were playing outdoors. They were dark-skinned and skinny. They were gnawing half a cucumber. When they heard what Ji Huai said, they looked shy. Look at Ding Xi and smile.
He probably couldn't shout, so he kept looking at her and smiling.
Ji Huai pulled them over, lowered his head and spoke to them, slowing down his voice, which was completely different from the way he had just talked to Sister Ji.
He would ask about the situation of the two of them at school and the Chen family, with a look of pity and helplessness.
There was a lot of excitement at dinner in the evening, so Sister Ji naturally didn't go back. Ji's family was not surprised by this scene. Ji's mother would occasionally complain about Chen Zhang and the Chen family at the dinner table, with curses in her tone.
Sister Ji and Sister Ji will also agree, and Sister Ji will spread the scandal about the Chen family:
"His father is not a good guy either. When he was young, he had sex with the widow in the village."
"My mother-in-law deserves it too. Don't think that I can tolerate it as much as she does. I get angry just by looking at her face."
"Those two children will be useless when they are raised. Their hands and feet have been unclean since they were young! No one in the family is good!"
…
There were leftover meat and vegetables on the table from the morning. The color had changed due to the second stir-fry. Ji Huai said to Ji Huai, "Mom, eat as much as you like next time. Try not to eat leftovers. It's not good for your health." .”
Ji's mother hasn't returned yet, so the second sister Ji said while picking the food on the plate, "Well, people in big cities are very picky, but aren't small places like ours like this? We can't be so picky."
She put the lean meat she picked out into bowls for herself and her two daughters. She frowned and said very unpleasant words.
"Did I talk to you?" Ji Huai glanced at her from the corner of his eye with cold eyes.
Sister Ji lowered her head and continued to turn over the food in the bowl.
After a while, she may feel that she was too embarrassed, or she wanted to get back the embarrassment, so she aimed at Ding Xi. Thinking about what Sister Ji said to her this afternoon, she said to the other party, "Ding Xi, right? Eh..."
"Huh?" Ding Xi ate quietly while holding a bowl filled with the food Ji Huai had given her.
Before Sister Ji could finish the second half of her sentence, a sudden chill ran down her spine. She saw Ji Huai staring at her, his expression as calm as water and his emotion light. But just like this, she swallowed the rest of her words. Erratic, he quickly said, "Nothing, let's eat!"
Ji Huai had a cold nature and rarely talked to them since he was a child. He became more like a nerd when he read. His effect on them is to add glory to their faces. As for the so-called brother-sister relationship, there is not even a hint of it.
Even if they scolded him, he wouldn't bother to reply, but if they got angry, they would definitely not be his opponents. What Ji Huai liked to do most was to watch them dance indifferently.
Ding Xi observed Ji Huai's movements. She just pretended not to know, looked confused, and continued to eat her meal.
Second Sister Ji tapped the porcelain bowl with her chopsticks from time to time and continued to pick the dishes on the plate.
Ji Huai couldn't even look at it. The chopsticks he used to pick up Ding Xi's food didn't even reach toward her side. He didn't eat much before he got up with Ding Xi first.
As soon as the two left, the people at the table naturally started talking to each other again.
What Ji's father is concerned about is whether Ding Xi's family has money and how many houses they can prepare. Then they will continue to enjoy the blessings. Ji's mother not only considers these things but also wants to take advantage of Ding Xi.
As for Sister Ji and Sister Ji, these two people's brain circuits are different from theirs. They think about things in a mess, and find fault with each other.
Sister Ji didn't ask for any information. Second Sister Ji looked at her with contempt and patted her chest and told her to come.
"Ji Huai treats her like an eyeball and won't leave even half a step away. Can you ask? He looks at you even when he says anything. You don't know what his temper is? Are you not panicking at all?" Sister Ji became irritable as she spoke.
"Wait until he goes to take a shower, sneak into the room and ask, is it difficult to leave Ji Huai?" Sister Ji didn't take Ding Xi seriously.
At first glance, he looks easy to bully.
Girls in big cities are certainly not as smart as them.
"You go and ask." Sister Ji pushed the question to her.
"I'll just ask. Can she still answer? I'll tell you everything about her family." Sister Ji said confidently.
Don’t Ji’s father and Ji’s mother want to know that
Of course, Ji Huai is getting better. Even if their relationship is not good, the other party can still give them some benefits through his fingers, right
Ding Xi was in Ji Huai's room at this time, and she had just taken a shower.
There is only one bathroom in Ji's house on the first floor. Everyone has to take turns taking a shower. There is no hairdryer at home. He is using a towel to dry her hair.
Ding Xi was sitting cross-legged on the bed. He was standing beside the bed, lowering his head to wipe her. He said by the way, "I will take a shower later and lock the door. Just pretend to be asleep and ignore anyone who knocks on the door." she."
"Ah?" She raised her head, opened her delicate lips slightly, and looked at him with her bright eyes.
"Ah what? I'll be back soon." He looked down at her, leaned over and pecked her gently, then stood up straight and continued to wipe her hair.
Ding Xi's eyebrows widened with a smile, "Your family seems to want you to find a rich and beautiful girl, but I am not."
She was not stupid, she felt the Ji family's intentions.
It doesn't matter who Ji Huai brings back. The important thing is that the family is in a good situation and it is best to be able to help their whole family and lead them to a beautiful new life.
"Do you think they are normal?" Ji Huai asked calmly, his expression unchanged.
"..." Ding Xi added, "You are the hope of your whole family, and I dare not delay you."
"Just don't dislike me." Ji Huai put away the towel and stretched out his hand to straighten her hair. His tone was long and his eyes were sincere, "Just delay me, please."
The serious and pleading look made Ding Xi want to laugh a little.
"I'm going to take a shower." Ji Huai took his pajamas and prepared to go downstairs. When he reached the door, he stretched out his hand and pressed the lock button on the back of the door lock. He walked out of the door and closed it with a little force. The door was locked and could only be opened from the inside.
Ding Xi looked at this unfamiliar room. She pulled the quilt and lay down, then hid in the corner.
The lights in the room were not bright, but rather dim, and flickered from time to time. Except for the bed where she slept, there was only a wardrobe, and there was nothing else inside.
When Ji Huai was around, she felt it didn't matter where he was, but when he wasn't around, she felt uncomfortable all over.
Holding the quilt, she turned sideways. She couldn't play with her mobile phone anymore, so she could only close her eyes and fall asleep.
Originally she didn't want to sleep and had to wait for Ji Huai to come back and open the door for him, but she was really tired these past few days, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep without realizing it.
Drowsily asleep, as if someone is knocking on the door
Sister Ji and Sister Ji made sure Ji Huai went to take a shower and came to "question" him. They found that the door was locked and they looked at each other in confusion.
"Why is it locked?" Sister Ji suddenly became annoyed.
"Yes." Sister Ji reached out and patted the door.
Ji Huai is not here, they are bolder. The more protective the other party is, the more they want to see what kind of vixen Ding Xi is.
Ding Xi fell asleep and was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Ding Xi." Sister Ji was not polite and knocked harder, "bang bang bang", which made Ding Xi panic.
She remembered what Ji Huai said, but the constant knocking and shouting made it difficult to calm down. She sat up, looked at the door, and took her phone to check the time.
After Sister Ji called her again, her tone was obviously unhappy, she pretended to get up in a hurry, "Hey."
The other party said he had something to tell her.
She guessed something was going on, looked at the time again, and then got out of bed. When he walked over and opened the door, he looked like he had just woken up.
Ji Huai was so strong that he wished she wouldn't be allowed to have any contact with Ji's family, but it was impossible for her not to have contact. If she doesn't open this door, the other party will only blame her instead of Ji Huai.
"Eldest sister, second sister." Ding Xi rubbed his eyes with a dazed expression and called them.
"I called several times, but why didn't I answer?" Sister Ji smiled softly. They were anxious and naturally angry.
"I just fell asleep and thought I was hallucinating. When I heard it, I immediately got up and opened the door." She looked apologetic and her demeanor made it impossible to find anything wrong.
Seeing her like this, Sister Ji couldn't find the right words to say sarcastically.
Seeing that she was still talking nonsense, Sister Ji reached out and slapped her to shut her up, and then got down to business, "I didn't have time to chat just now. You have also seen the situation in our family, and we all understand each other. Ji Huai Bringing you back must be recognition, and we don’t know anything about your family’s situation.”
"If someone asks, we don't know how to respond, right?"
Ding Xi nodded, "Second sister is right."
When the two of them saw her on the road, they felt relieved. She was indeed a good person, and they waited patiently for her next words.
The air became quiet. They looked at Ding Xi, and Ding Xi looked at them.
Sister Ji's smile gradually solidified: Then you can tell me.
Ding Xi continued to look at them and blinked. She pretended to be a little confused and looked very confused.
"We don't know about your family's situation." Sister Ji reminded her.
"My father is a businessman and my mother is a university teacher." Ding Xi replied softly to her.
Ji Huai told her that there was no need to say too much. Her family background was not important. Just like him, she had to rely on herself. He said that all he needed to do was approve of her. The opinions of Ji's family were not important and should not be ignored.
Sister Ji quickly asked, "How many children will your parents have?"
Ding Xi: "I am the only child of my parents."
Her mother has not remarried, and her father only has stepson after remarriage. It is said that he is trying in vitro fertilization, but there is no news about it yet.
The two looked satisfied, as if they were determined to get something, so they asked questions in succession, "How many houses does your family have? Did your parents buy you a house? In which ring of the capital do you live..."
They lost their patience and asked a lot of questions.
Ding Xi's visit seemed to them to be an interview.
Ji Huai graduated from Capital University. He was tall, thin and handsome. They have no doubt that the group of white and rich beauties in the capital are also rushing to get it, okay
You must have money.
According to their marriage age here, Ji Huai has also reached the age of trial marriage. The first girlfriend he brought back may be serious.
Ding Xi knew what they wanted to know, but it was so straightforward that she was still confused at the moment.
Her father no longer cares about her. Her mother has two houses, a commercial house and a teacher's house. She only has a small house given to her by her grandma.
"No?" The expressions of the two of them slowly calmed down, and they looked at her, their enthusiasm retreating a lot.
"That's them..." Ding Xi originally wanted to say that their house had nothing to do with her, but as soon as she said the words, she saw Ji Huai coming back, and she swallowed back half of her words.
Perhaps Ji Huai's aura was stronger. Sister Ji and Sister Ji suddenly realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Their backs were straightened, as if someone had caught them on the spot, and their expressions were stiff.
The two of them were trembling and looked back with guilty expressions. Ji Huai put one hand in his pocket and was walking towards this end. He looked at the two of them meaningfully and smiled casually, "Why are you standing at the door and chatting? Come in."
Sister Ji tried her best to keep the smile on her face, turned around and said to Ji Huai, "I'm not afraid that Ding Xi will sleep in the same room with you, and it won't be good if word gets out, so I just want her to sleep with me. After all, you are not married yet, so you still have to care about your reputation."
This reason was so high-sounding that Sister Ji praised herself in her heart. Second Sister Ji also thinks it is right and very reasonable.
Sister Ji thought that if Ding Xi slept with her, everything would be easy to solve. She could ask whatever she wanted, and how could the other party refuse to answer
Hearing this, Ji Huai almost laughed and asked, "What kind of reputation?"
"A girl's reputation is very important. Girls also need to be shameless. How can outsiders spread the word if they sleep together before they are married?" Sister Ji said very seriously in order to highlight the seriousness of the matter. "People must say it is inappropriate. This If we are no longer together, won’t we become second-hand goods in other people’s words? People will definitely look at her with a lewd eye!”
Sister Ji has a bad temper and can't speak. No boy can get along with her, let alone fall in love. When she talks about this, her tone is indignant and slightly contemptuous.
Seeing that Sister Ji's face had changed slightly, Ji Huai took her words and said, "What kind of society is it now? It's very open. How can it be inappropriate to spend a night together? There are so many people living together without getting married, or living in the husband's house." ,what is that?"
The second sister Ji just ran to the Chen family before she got married. Ji's father couldn't get her to come, so he had to stay alive. Moreover, Chen Zhang was not her first boyfriend. She had previously eloped with a guy from a hair salon in the town and came back disgraced half a year later.
Sister Ji thought that Ji Huai was talking about Ding Xi's intention to do this, so the words came out of her mouth without passing through her mind, with a look of contempt on her face, "That's just being mean. If you do something wrong, don't blame others for looking down upon you."
So quickly ask Ding Xi to sleep with her, not together!
She didn't react until she saw Sister Ji's distorted face, and then she panicked.
The two broke up unhappily, and before they could reach downstairs, fierce quarrels kept coming.
Two people who don't have much brains will naturally not admit their mistakes and blame each other.
Second sister Ji accused elder sister Ji of looking down on her. Why should she look down on her? No one wants her at her age, and even men look down on her. She will be unable to marry for the rest of her life!
Sister Ji said "poof" and shouted in a sharp voice that if she married like her, she would rather become a nun and remain unmarried for the rest of her life.
The two of them blamed each other, cursed each other, and uttered any dirty or hurtful words.
Sister Ji cursed Sister Ji that she would definitely get divorced and blindly marry a third-married man, as well as three prostitutes, saying that she had messed with men in the past, so she had this retribution.
Sister Ji was so angry that she gritted her teeth and mocked her from head to toe. She was ugly, dark, and unfeminine. Men didn't even look at her, so she still wanted to marry a rich man? You laugh so hard that no one wants to marry an old bachelor.
The two couldn't argue and started fighting.
The sounds of Ji's father and Ji's mother quarreling also joined in, as well as the cries of the two children.
The sound insulation effect of the house was not good. Ding Xi was lying on the bed and could hear clearly. He looked at Ji Huai with worried eyes.
There was no expression on his face. He was lying on the outside of the bed, staring directly at the ceiling and not speaking. It was as if he hadn't heard the quarrel downstairs, and he seemed to be used to it.
Ding Xi was sleeping inside, and the two of them were quite far apart.
They stayed in a hotel before. Even if they didn't book two rooms, they booked a standard room with two beds. Ji Huai would ask her not to make too much noise. Now that they are lying on the same bed, she won't make a fuss, and he shouldn't make too much noise. Spend more time making trouble with her.
The quarrel downstairs continued and seemed to escalate. Ding Xi stretched out her finger, poked his side, and whispered, "Do you want to go take a look?"
Ji Huai shook his head from side to side, raised his hand to rub his temples, put his hand down again, turned to look at her, his eyes seemed a little weak, and he exhaled heavily, "This is normal, just get used to it."
Sometimes it's Father Ji and Mother Ji arguing, sometimes it's Sister Ji and Sister Ji, and sometimes it's someone from the Chen family who continues to argue at the door.
Noisy and noisy, he has grown up in such an environment since he was a child, which has developed his indifferent temperament. He just wants to escape from such a bad situation and escape far away.
Ding Xi wanted to comfort him, but didn't know where to come from.
Ji Huai added: "The quarrel is noisy, but they have to live their lives. Tomorrow they will pretend that nothing happened. Even if they feel uncomfortable, they have to endure it. This is how they live their lives, and they may have to live like this for the rest of their lives. I can’t change, so I’ll never change.”
He can neither change his thoughts nor his behavior. Some people live like this in the first half of their lives and have to live like this in the second half of their lives. Forced change will cost their lives.
If you read too many books, you will inevitably have more things to think about. Some people are so confused that they even have no brains to live.
Ding Xi understood what he said. This was the situation of his family and there was no way to change it.
She also understood what he meant. In fact, they haven't met their parents yet, but he still brought her back. Wasn't it just to let her see this? See if you can accept it.
"boom!"
There was the sound of something being thrown downstairs, and Sister Ji screamed, fearing that someone might rush up and tear her apart again.
"It's still too late to regret now." After Ji Huai said to her, he pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, and nodded, as if to convince himself, "I don't blame you, I understand you, really."
His voice was restrained and contained a forbearing emotion.
Ding Xi didn't react immediately, Ji Huai's eyebrows were filled with anxiety, his heart was a little sour for no reason, and his hands and feet were slightly weak.
Do you really regret it
He was really panicked.
Seconds seemed like years, but she still didn't move. Was she thinking seriously
Ji Huai looked depressed and regretted saying this in his heart. What was he talking about
Sure enough, if you are not in love, your mind will be very clear. But when you fall in love, low self-esteem and worry about gains and losses will follow. No matter how rational you are, you will not be able to control your random thoughts.
After waiting for several more seconds, there was still no movement.
Ji Huai roared in his heart, and turned his back silently in order to avoid showing his emotions.
Although he had a purpose in the past, it was inevitable that he owed her something, but now he is trying his best, and this is all he can do. If he really dislikes her, there is nothing he can do.
Ding Xi was still thinking about how she could comfort him, but all she could see was his back, which looked so pitiful and full of sadness. She took the initiative to go over, put her hands around his neck, and hug him from behind.
"I don't need comfort, no need to pity me." There was a hint of stubbornness in his tone.
"I didn't." She denied, her slender right leg climbed up to his waist, trying to cross his body and sleep in front of him.
Ji Huai was sleeping on his back on the edge of the bed. He was afraid that she would fall off, so he hugged her in a hurry. He was scared and angry. Before he even scolded her, she hid in his arms, stretched her head forward, smiled and kissed the corner of his mouth. .
The girl's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and his figure was reflected in her eyes.
Ji Huai paused for a moment and looked away in an extremely unnatural manner, "You should think carefully. I won't let him go if he gets entangled with him. I'm very selfish and overbearing."
"Give you another chance."
Ding Xi used to think that Ji Huai didn't like her enough and was too considerate of her. Now she thinks that he likes her very much, but he is not sure about many things, so he can't let go and is even ready to withdraw.
He has a cold temperament, and the environment in which he grew up taught him to be reserved.
She didn't hesitate and kissed him again, her meaning obvious.
Someone hugged her hard, as hard as if he wanted to squeeze her into his arms, with a domineering look on his face, "You can't go back on what you promised me!"
"Okay." She replied solemnly.
He added: "I will protect you."
Ding Xi smiled: "Yeah."
"I'll be nice to you."
"You are very kind to me."
Ji Huai gave a hint of assurance: "I will be better to you, better than before."
Because he couldn't change too much from before, he still suppressed his emotions and behaviors a little.
"Huh?" Her voice rose, as if she couldn't imagine it.
There was no movement downstairs and it was getting late. Ji Huai turned off the light and hugged her to sleep. Before going to bed, he said, "I will take you away tomorrow morning. I will leave early in the morning. If you don't want to come back in the future, I understand."
"Hmm~"
The next day.
After the quarrel between Sister Ji and Sister Ji, Ji Huai was still forgotten. If he hadn't been so talkative, how could they have quarreled? Eat everything inside and out!
They brainwashed Ji's mother and said categorically that Ding Xi's family must not be very good, so Ji Huai didn't let them ask.
It must be a bad family and nothing, otherwise why would you feel guilty? I told you already.
When Ji's mother heard it, it made sense.
We can’t have this kind of family!
But Ji Huai is protecting him? What can be done? Together with Ji's father, they discussed a way to tell Ding Xi face to face that it was not appropriate and that they did not agree with the two of them being together.
Anyway, Ji Huai is excellent, and Ding Xi is the one who suffers, so just change him.
Girls who are told by the man's parents that he is inappropriate or disapproving to his face, and that they want to save face, will never be together again, and there must be problems in their relationship.
They were going to say it tomorrow. How could Ding Xi still be with Ji Huai when the whole family was on the battlefield
The whole family likes to sleep in, and they slept until ten o'clock. When they woke up, they saw that Ji Huai and Ding Xi were still awake. Sister Ji even muttered, "You are lazy enough if you haven't woken up even though the sun is shining on you."
"It's not okay to marry such a woman. We'll have to make it clear later." Ji's mother became even more determined.
Sister Ji didn't wake up either. Her two daughters woke up and said they were hungry. Mother Ji reluctantly went to the kitchen to get something to eat, and suddenly she found noodles in the pot.
Sister Ji said she didn't cook it, and Ji's father didn't know how to cook. It was strange that Sister Ji hadn't woken up yet.
"My uncle lives there." The eldest girl said in a childish voice, "My uncle cooked for my aunt. I saw it."
"It's okay to have to cook noodles for her so early in the morning. Where are they?" Ji's mother was even more dissatisfied with Ding Xi and asked while serving noodles.
The eldest girl held the bowl and said, "Uncle and aunt are gone."
Ji's mother stopped moving, and Sister Ji quickly went upstairs to watch.
Is there anyone else in Ji Huai's room? The quilts were also neatly folded and put aside.
Ji's family members were all confused. After thinking about it all night, no one paid attention to them in the end. According to Ji Huai's temperament, even if they told him, he would just hang up the phone lightly. If the other party didn't let go, they wouldn't know Ding Xi's contact information.
No matter how much they say, they can only be kept in their stomachs and make them so angry that they feel tight in the chest and short of breath.
