Since that night, the two have not discussed the sensitive topic of the future.
For Song Xuan, the future is an unpredictable future, and she will not leave when he needs her most. Since there is no so-called future, she will not think too much, and the way the two get along is Extraordinarily harmonious.
In the past, we had a small quarrel every two days and a big quarrel every three days, but now we haven't had any quarrel for half a month.
Song Xuan has been working overtime recently, and ate dinner in a hurry before working overtime. She was very hungry before getting off work today.
After getting out of the subway, Ji Huai bought her some corn. Song Xuan held his arm and gnawed the corn feebly, giving him a bite from time to time.
Ji Huai lowered his head and took a bite, "It's quite tender."
"Two bites and it's gone." She finished the last few pills, wrapped them in a plastic bag, and threw them into the trash can.
The corn is small and tender and not really filling.
"How about we go back after dinner?" He turned to look at her and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
On the way back, you will pass by a snack street. The shops outside the community also have many benefits. The prices are not bad and are very friendly to the people.
Song Xuan rested her head on his shoulder, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "I want to eat instant noodles."
"Soak instant noodles?" He raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Then buy a bucket of instant noodles and go back to make them."
"I want to eat boiled noodles, do you want to eat them?" She was a little greedy when she thought about it. Boiled instant noodles and soaked instant noodles have completely different tastes. The cooked instant noodles have more soul.
"I don't want to eat, but I can cook it for you." Ji Huai put one hand in his pocket and walked into the supermarket in the community with her.
Song Xuan chose five packs of instant noodles with different flavors, a pack of ham sausage, a pack of pickled mustard, a small pack of chili powder, and finally a pack of prunes.
Ji Huai settled the bill because he finally bought a box of condoms. Song Xuan pretended not to see it and quickly waited for him outside.
When they arrived home, the two entered the kitchen.
Song Xuan opened the refrigerator in the kitchen and looked at what else was inside. A small head of cabbage, a small piece of carrot she had left over from the previous two days, and two eggs. She took them all out and asked Ji Huai to put two more for her. A ham sausage, a little pickle, and finally sprinkled with chili powder, it's delicious.
"What are you doing with so many?" Ji Huai looked at the pile.
"I want to eat."
"Just put some..."
"Then I'll make it myself, and you go take a shower." Song Xuan took out the carrots from the bag and prepared to wash them.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it." Ji Huai made an excuse for himself, took the carrots from her hand, and showed a flattering smile, "I just care about you, it's not that I don't want to cook."
"Just put half a piece of noodles. How about you eat some too? I can't finish it." She rubbed him.
Ji Huai said nothing and turned around to wash the vegetables.
His acquiescence was tantamount to agreement. When Song Xuan was happy, she hugged him from behind and said affectionately: "Then I'm going to take off my makeup and take a shower?"
"kindness."
Song Xuan came out of the shower and found that the noodles had been cooked. In fact, she had quite a lot of requirements when it came to eating. She didn't like the instant noodles to be too soft and had to be picked up soon after being put down. The eggs had to be spread out so that they would taste better.
The noodles were placed on the dining table. At a glance, there was more soup, more ingredients, and less noodles. Ji Huai poured the chili powder into the small jar and handed it to her, "Add it yourself."
"Thank you." She looked up and smiled, her eyebrows arched.
"No thanks." Ji Huai turned around and went back to the kitchen, then brought out a bowl with the remaining noodles in the pot.
"Is there too much noodles? Can I give you some more?" Song Xuan took a few sips of the soup and saw that there was still a lot at the bottom of the bowl. She raised her head and said to him.
Ji Huai hadn't eaten yet and pushed the bowl towards her.
Song Xuan saw that his bowl was filled with radish, vegetables, ham, sausage, and eggs, while his bowl was filled with noodle soup. She felt a little embarrassed. After taking the noodles, she had to put them in for him. Ji Huai took the bowl over and said, "I don't eat those. , do you think everyone is the same as you?"
She took her hand back angrily and put a few slices of ham into her mouth.
Ji Huai laughed out loud and said no more.
The door next to the restaurant opened, and Tian Shao came out wearing pajamas and holding a mobile phone. The sound of the video was still coming from the mobile phone. She shuffled her steps and saw the smiles of the two of them shrinking slightly. She looked at Ji Huai and asked, "Eat Where’s dinner?”
She and He Chenxiang rarely cook and usually order takeout.
"Well, I cooked some noodles." Ji Huai replied.
"We're hungry too. It's too early to eat today." Tian Shao said. Before Song Xuan could say that there was still some noodles to cook in the kitchen, she smiled and said, "We ordered barbecue. It's almost time to arrive. Do you want to eat some together?"
"No, I'm eating very late today." Ji Huai declined.
Tian Shao didn't sit down either. She and Song Xuan hardly talked, and they weren't in conflict. Anyway, they had a very strange relationship. Everyone agreed that there was a line between them. Moreover, she often complained about Song Xuan with Yan Jingyi.
The more you complain, the less you like it.
She felt awkward after standing for a while, so she simply sat down to watch the video again, and muttered, "The time is almost over, why hasn't the takeout come yet? I'm going to file a complaint against this takeaway guy."
"It should be soon." Ji Huai still gave her face and agreed with her casually.
Song Xuan was eating noodles silently. She had given a lot of noodles to Ji Huai just now, but there were too many ingredients. In addition, she had eaten a corn before, so she thought she could eat a lot, but now she couldn't eat anymore.
Ji Huai would eat radish slices from time to time and would put them in her bowl. She was a little overwhelmed, but when she saw him holding them over, she subconsciously said, "I don't want them anymore."
Her tone was a bit urgent, but Tian Shao was there again, so she endured it and kicked him lightly with her feet under the table, showing that she was full.
So full.
Tian Shao looked like he was playing with his mobile phone, but actually he was replying to Yan Jingyi's message. He opened the takeout app and swiped it, then simply walked back to the room without closing the door.
As soon as she left, Song Xuan put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
"You only ate half of it and there's so much left?" Ji Huai looked over, but the bowl given to her was indeed too big. She drank a lot of soup, but he didn't embarrass her, "Then give it to me."
Song Xuan was very happy, and pushed her over with a smile. By coincidence, when she pushed her in front of Ji Huai, Tian Shao walked out, and the boy outside also knocked on the door.
It was a very normal behavior between lovers, but it was quite embarrassing to be hit by someone. Song Xuan took her hand back, but Ji Huai didn't react at all. He quickly finished a few mouthfuls of noodles in his bowl, then put the bowl aside and turned to her Bring the bowl.
"Don't overeat, just be full." Song Xuan said, remembering that he said he had dinner late.
Ji Huai looked at her and said, "I'm not a fool."
"..." She was talking too much.
Tian Shao came back with the takeout and shouted into the room, "He Chenxiang."
"This game will be over soon." There was also the crackling sound of the mechanical keyboard inside. Tian Shao frowned, a little unhappy, but did not say anything and sat down without opening the bag.
She glanced at the two of them out of the corner of her eye and said nothing.
Immediately afterwards, He Chenxiang came out. He wanted to take Ji Huai to drink but was rejected. Ji Huai ate noodles but chatted with him. Song Xuan made an excuse and got up to go to the kitchen to wash the pot.
She could never get a word in between the three of them, and it was awkward just sitting there.
"Aren't you sleepy? Don't touch it while taking a shower. I'll wash the pots and dishes together after I finish eating." Ji Huai said to her.
"Okay then, can I go in?" Song Xuan pointed to the room.
"kindness."
As soon as the door closed, Tian Shao smiled and said, "We are in a good relationship lately. We go to and from get off work together every day."
Ji Huai was also with Song Xuan at the beginning, and later stayed with them. But recently, Ji Huai has not drank and chatted with them for a long time, and rarely eaten with them.
"Xuanxuan is busy with work during this period, and I have to pick her up." Ji Huai refused the beer He Chenxiang handed him, "I won't drink it, I will go to bed later."
Tian Shao was about to ask more questions, but Ji Huai had already finished eating the noodles, picked up the two bowls and went to the kitchen.
He was washing dishes and pots, and it seemed that he had cooked noodles for Song Xuan. Tian Shao asked He Chenxiang, "Didn't we keep quarreling some time ago? It suddenly got better. I thought we would break up."
The quarrel was so fierce that she really thought they would break up.
"Why are you cursing others for breaking up every day? What couple doesn't quarrel?" He Chenxiang didn't care about this and just told her, "Don't let Ji Huai hear it. I hope you will be better."
"I didn't say anything." Tian Shao was a little unhappy.
"I didn't say anything." He Chenxiang thought it was strange for her to lose her temper.
When Ji Huai came out, no one noticed anything unusual about the two of them. To be precise, he didn't look at them. He said something to He Chenxiang and went into the room. Then he took out his clothes and took a shower. By this time, Tian Shao was no longer there.
late at night.
Ji Huai and Song Xuan were leaning against the bed. She yawned when she was tired from reading and leaned against him, "Are you going to sleep?"
"Watch it for a while," he said.
"Turn off the lights and go to sleep." She drawled her voice with tiredness in her voice. She yawned again and reached out to hug him. "It's hard for me to fall asleep without turning off the lights."
Ji Huai followed her, put down the book, hugged her and reached out to turn off the light.
Before the phone was turned off, Song Xuan's phone rang. There was no number in the note. She pressed answer. The other party asked anxiously, "Is this Xiaohuai's girlfriend?"
Hearing this, she didn't react for a moment. When the other person said the word "Ji Huai", she looked up at the other person. In his sight, she slowly responded, "Who are you?"
"I'm Aunt Ji Huai, is he here? Ask him to answer the phone." The other person said even more anxiously.
Song Xuan didn't dare to give it to him directly. Ji Huai was close to her and heard the content of the call. He reached out to take the phone, then lifted the quilt and stood up without expression.
"Sister-in-law." He was sitting on the table, and this call was not affectionate.
The other party kept talking at one end, and they were far away. Song Xuan didn't hear anything, and Ji Huai didn't want to talk. He would occasionally say, "I don't want to," "No reason.", "I don't know."...
Extremely indifferent.
"I don't want to see him, well, it's best not to acknowledge him." Ji Huai leaned on his chair and spoke less and less. In the end, he was too lazy to talk and kept saying that he was going to die and not to be beaten by Song Xuan.
Song Xuan, who was lying on the bed, also sat up with a worried look on her face.
When Ji Huai hung up, he took her mobile phone and said, "To avoid annoying you, I set your mobile phone to make it impossible to call unknown numbers."
Song Xuan did not refuse and nodded.
When he turned off the light and lay down to cover himself with the quilt, Song Xuan approached him with a concerned tone, "What's wrong?"
"Ji Mingnan told grandpa that I disowned him. Grandpa just had a heart operation and couldn't stand the excitement." Ji Huai sounded impatient, obviously unhappy with Ji's father.
"Then what are you going to do?" Song Xuan asked.
"I originally planned to go back to see him. Let's go back tomorrow." Ji Huai said and asked in her ear, "Are you free to go back with me?"
Song Xuan was slightly startled. It was the first time he said that he would take him back. Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji still held a large proportion in his heart. She was not surprised but thought too much, "Why are you taking me back?"
"Go and see your grandparents." After he finished speaking, he said extremely seriously, "Xuanxuan, I've been thinking hard about the future recently, can you give me some time?"
Song Xuan didn't want to discuss this issue with him too much, "But I have to go to work tomorrow and can't take leave."
This sentence is true, but she really doesn't need to go now.
"That's okay, there will be a chance next time." Ji Huai said, pulling the quilt, "Go to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow."
"Good night." As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Huai kissed her forehead and said softly and tenderly, "Good night."
Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji are both retired workers and live in the staircase room of the unit in the old community. Ji Huai took out the key and opened the door.
"Let's see if Xiao Huai is back?" Grandpa Ji's hoarse voice came from the room, still panting. He was already old, but after the operation, his health was much worse.
Grandma Ji was cooking. When she heard this, she sighed and walked out of the kitchen. She originally thought it was Aunt Ji who was back. This daughter was married close and was the most considerate. Ji Huai's child had not been in contact with the family for a long time and had no contact with her family. He knew what bad things his father had done with that Li Mei. That kid had blocked everyone in his family and no one could contact him. It made him sad to think about it.
The poor child would not have a stepmother and a stepfather if his biological mother had not been in a car accident.
When she walked out of the kitchen and saw Ji Huai standing in front of the door, she was still stunned. Finally, wiping her tears, she quickly walked over and took his hand, "Where have you been, you brat? Don't you even want us?"
"Xiao Huai is back?" Grandpa Ji also stood up and struggled to walk out.
Ji Huai squeezed out a smile without any other emotions, and then walked over to help Grandpa Ji. He was in poor health and had to be supported to walk. He kept looking at him, "What did that bad woman do to you again? Tell Grandpa, You tell grandpa."
"Did I bully you? Huh?"
Xu Mei has been mean to him since she was a child, causing a lot of trouble and even going to the hospital. The old couple has never liked her, but Ji Huai has a temperament that will not tell him anything, and Xu Mei is shrewd and unreasonable. If it can't be solved, he won't talk about it as time goes by.
Moreover, Ji's father also participated in the beating and scolding process. He gradually became numb and did not want to worry the old couple.
"It's okay." Ji Huai said calmly, "Are you feeling better? I bought you some nutritional supplements and asked grandma to cook them for you."
"What are you going to spend that money on? Save it for getting married and buying a house." Grandpa Ji sighed, "How old are you and you don't have a house yet? No, I have to ask your dad to buy you a house. Recently, that woman has been making trouble to buy her a house. Nonsense!”
"If you are angry again, you can't even wait for me to get married and you still want to buy a house?" Ji Huai said helplessly on his behalf.
Grandpa Ji thought that his salary was not low, and if he lived for a few more years, he could save a lot of money for him. His anger became much less intense, and he started scolding Ji's father again.
After a while, Aunt Ji also came back. She was very excited when she saw Ji Huai. She naturally told how to contact Ji Huai, and his girlfriend was also mentioned.
"You have a girlfriend?" Grandma Ji was the happiest, "When will you bring her back? What do you do?"
I had never heard of Ji Huai having a girlfriend before, which was quite exciting.
"It's a nurse." Ji Huai took the initiative to explain, thinking that he had never thought about getting married and would never tell his family about falling in love.
"Take it home for dinner next time." Grandma Ji told him again with a smile.
Ji Huai didn't answer, just smiled. Aunt Ji felt strange. When Grandpa Ji went to take a nap, she deliberately said, "It won't last more than two days, right? I'll buy some seafood and ask Xiao Huai to take her back. Xiao Huai You’re not young anymore, so you need to take advantage of it.”
"Yes." Grandma Ji laughed and held Ji Huai's hand, just wanting him to get married quickly.
Ji Huai still didn't speak.
The atmosphere solidified, and both of them felt their hearts pounding. Grandma Ji quickly asked him, "What's wrong? If you have something to say to grandma, don't keep it in your heart."
"I won't marry her. I don't want to marry anyone." Ji Huai's voice was low. When he said this, his face was expressionless and his tone was neither salty nor cool.
As soon as they heard what he said, the two of them looked extremely ugly. Thinking about Ji Huai's recent behavior, they were all confused. Aunt Ji looked at him and said, "Xiao Huai, what's wrong with you? Don't scare grandma and sister-in-law."
"I... I went to see a psychiatrist some time ago and the situation was not very good." He spoke very softly and smiled bitterly. "The doctor said that I have serious psychological problems, psychological disorders, mania, and depression. If I can’t control my emotions or my behavior, I’ll act like a lunatic when I get sick, and I’ll have to rely on medication in the later stages. How can I dare to get married?”
Grandma Ji's face was pale and she was frightened. Aunt Ji was still in shock.
"I am a person who should not exist, and I have been thinking about why I have reached this point. I don't want to see Ji Tiannan. What if I kill him?" Ji Huai said this half-jokingly, He called Father Ji's name directly.
Grandma Ji was so suppressed that she started crying, "It was your father and that woman who harmed you. What kind of disease is it? It can be cured."
This is what she said, there was a girl in the neighborhood next door who suffered from depression and jumped off the building to commit suicide. If it was just depression, then her grandson wouldn't...
"Xiao Huai, I'm not partial to your dad. Killing someone is against the law." Aunt Ji was also very excited. She felt that Ji Huai was speaking inexplicably and was afraid that he would do something stupid.
He used to be very obedient, why did he suddenly become like this
"I know." Ji Huai responded, but his mood did not change at all, as if to say: I know, but I don't care.
"You can't do stupid things. We can go to the best hospital and find the best doctor." Grandma Ji said quickly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"I'm fine, grandma, please don't cry." Ji Huai was still very sensible and looked at her helplessly, "Didn't I miss them? I'm in control."
After a conversation, the two of them were confused. Grandma Ji burst into tears, pulling him and shouting that his life was miserable. Ji Huai kept comforting him without any pain, while Aunt Ji was anxious and at a loss.
When he left, their eyes were still red, but when he walked out of the door, his face was indifferent.
Let’s just say Ji’s family protects him. Everyone has their own affairs to take care of. Ji’s father is still their son and brother. It’s impossible to make the family upset because of him. It’s all a compromise. So, he knows that he can’t rely on anyone. Make the decision. Only by making the decision yourself can you achieve the best results.
He will take back everything that belongs to him!
