Ji Cao was thinking about the strawberry cake, and she began to look forward to the afternoon as soon as noon came. It was finally time to get off work, but Ji Xi actually had to work overtime!
To work overtime!
And the other party is doing business, she still can't complain! Thinking of this, Ji Cao immediately puffed up her cheeks, and could only download games casually to pass the time.
Probably because Ji Xi couldn't be contacted, Aunt Ji called and asked when they would arrive.
"Xiao Xi is working overtime, I don't know when it will be." Ji Cao stretched out her fingers to play with the thread on the pillow, and said in a muffled voice, "Maybe we will go back very late."
"Then do you want to wait for you to eat together?"
"No need, maybe I will go back very late." Ji Cao shook her head, her voice hesitated, "That, what."
"Xiaocao, what are you talking about? Louder, I can't hear you clearly."
Ji Cao took a deep breath, "It's that strawberry cake. Auntie can't eat it secretly. You have to leave it for Xiao Xi to eat when she goes back."
"Strawberry cake?" There was a burst of laughter from the other end of the phone, "Xiaocao wants to eat it, Xiaoxi doesn't really like desserts."
After being exposed, Ji Cao not only did not feel guilty, but also said "Ah" confidently, "Because the strawberry cake is really delicious. But the most important thing is that it is bought by Aunt Ji, and it will be even more delicious, so I Will want to eat more."
Opposite Ji's mother was coaxed into a cheerful mood by her, if it wasn't because it was time for dinner, maybe the two of them could chat until Ji Xi worked overtime.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Cao found that the game had also been downloaded, so she clicked in. She had played games on Ji Xi's phone before, but not this one, so she could only follow the game instructions slowly to learn.
It took me half an hour to get started, and I went into the training mode to practice guns. Yes, this is a shooting game. Ji Cao used to watch TV and saw how handsome the policemen were when they brushed their guns, so they have always had a strong curiosity about guns.
"Bang bang bang—" Ji Cao tried a few times according to the operation, and found that it was not fun at all, so she immediately quit and uninstalled some. Because of this bad experience, Ji Cao didn't bother to play any more, she just dropped her phone and lay down in big characters, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
One, two, three, ..., one hundred.
After counting one hundred, Ji Cao turned over and continued to count, "One hundred, ninety-nine, ninety-eight, ..., three—"
The voice became lower and lower, and then the eyes closed.
When Ji Xi came back from the meeting, what he saw was her lying on the bed and falling asleep.
"Xiaocao?" She reached out to touch Ji Cao's cheek, but got no response. It's no wonder, because Ji Cao has been thinking about the strawberry cake all the time, and Ji Cao didn't sleep at all at noon, and now she will naturally fall asleep due to lack of energy.
After thinking about it, she didn't force the other party to wake up, she found a thin quilt to cover her, and found thick clothes to put on, then hugged Princess Ren.
Their appearance attracted some attention, but Ji Xi couldn't care less, he got into the elevator with a straight face and expressionless, and then got out of the garage. It's also fortunate that she is used to being expressionless, otherwise there must be a large number of people asking what she is doing.
After finally opening the car door and putting Ji Cao in the back seat, she raised the back of her hand to wipe the hot sweat from her forehead, and got into the driver's seat. However, looking through the rearview mirror, I was almost scared to death. Taking a closer look, it turned out that Ji Cao had woken up and was looking at her with her head out of the quilt.
While reversing the car, Ji Xi asked, "When did you wake up?"
"When you hugged me up." Ji Cao yawned as she spoke, "It's just that your embrace is so comfortable, I didn't want to move so I didn't talk."
Ji Xi: ... I still blame her for the feelings.
It was already dark when the two arrived at Ji's house.
Mother Ji left food for the two of them, and hearing that they hadn't eaten yet, she hurriedly got up to heat up the meal.
Ji Cao quickly grabbed her and looked at her brightly, "Actually, it's not impossible to not eat, we can eat cake directly."
"Stop making trouble." Ji Xi pulled her away, and by the way pushed his mother back to sit on the sofa, before folding up his sleeves, "I'll just go and warm it up."
"Are you okay?" Mother Ji asked uneasy, and Ji Xi's dissatisfied eyes were received in the next second.
"I have the most right to speak on this issue." Ji Cao raised her hand, "Xiaoxi's cooking is better than eating outside. It's definitely okay to heat up the food."
"Really?" Ji's mother was surprised at first, and then her tone became low, "I haven't eaten it yet."
Ji Cao rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Then let Xiaoxi cook breakfast for us tomorrow. Auntie just has a day off. By the way," she circled behind Ji's mother, "Auntie must be tired. Give you a pat on the shoulder."
"You are tired from the car ride, please sit and rest first."
"I'm young, I'm fine."
"Then thank you Xiaocao."
Ji Xi next to him was completely ignored by the two of them. Ji Xi looked at Ji Cao's attentiveness, and his heart began to feel cold. Especially when Ji Cao used her to gain her mother's favorability again, she became even angrier.
As soon as the murderous intent came out, Ji Cao immediately noticed her, and looked up, "Xiaoxi, don't you want to heat up the dishes?"
Ji Xi took a deep look at her before turning around and entering the kitchen. After she left, the conversation between the two continued.
"Is there anyone in the company who likes Xiaoxi?" Although Ji's mother had talked about this topic on the phone before, she was always a little uneasy. "Is there really no one? Not even approached?"
"Shouldn't be there, Sister Qingqing and the others?" Ji Cao thought for a while, then shook her head firmly.
Mother Ji knew Li Qingqing and the others, "Apart from them?"
Ji Cao tentatively asked, "Me?"
Mother Ji asked almost without thinking, "Apart from you?"
"Then there is none." Ji Cao shook her head, looked around the kitchen, and then lowered her voice and leaned closer to the other's ear, "Xiaoxi is cold, except for us, even the dogs in the company are afraid that she won't say hello to her." .”
Ji's mother heard that the front was fine, but after that, she really couldn't laugh or cry.
"Don't believe me." Ji Cao said gossipingly, "The dog in the company barks twice when he sees everyone, but he doesn't move when he sees Xiao Xi. This is enough to see how terrifying Xiao Xi is."
Ji's mother was instantly amused by her appearance of making small reports seriously.
"What are you talking about, you're smiling so happily." The person being ridiculed came out with two plates, and called without raising his head, "Little Green."
"Understood." Ji Cao blinked at Ji's mother, then trotted over, and obediently opened the chair and sat down.
Mother Ji remembered something and asked Ji Xi to borrow her cell phone.
Ji Xi took out his phone without even asking, unlocked it and put it on the table. Her attitude was too calm, and Ji's mother felt embarrassed, because she originally borrowed the phone to see if anyone had been chatting with her recently.
"Didn't you want to borrow your phone?" Ji Xi saw his mother in a daze, and knocked on the table to get her attention back.
Ji Cao also looked up at Mother Ji, reached out and took out her mobile phone, put it on the table, and handed it over, because she still had rice in her mouth, she mumbled, "I can lend you mine, too."
"I'll just check something." Ji's mother smiled and pulled a chair to sit beside her. Originally, she planned to open the search software for a symbolic look, but saw the previous browsing records, one of which caught her attention in an instant.
Click to open it and have a look, it is really related to homosexuality. Seeing this, she immediately looked up at the two thoughtfully.
Having experienced a similar scene before, she was a little shocked now and then calmed down. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are traces to follow. Her daughter is cold and indifferent, but recently her expression and emotion have become more real. To make a person make such a big change, there is no other choice but love.
She was in a daze for a while, and when she came back to her senses, Ji Cao and the two had already finished their meal and were cleaning up.
Seeing that Ji Xi couldn't hold his hands down anymore, Ji Cao quickly pushed aside the chair and got up, "I'll help you get the chopsticks and the rest of the dishes."
"Um."
Mother Ji noticed that Ji Xi's expression softened in an instant as long as he was facing Ji Cao. Looking thoughtfully at the backs of the two, Mother Ji put down her phone.
The two phones were side by side, and only then did she realize that the two phones were exactly the same in style and color. This way, everything makes sense.
"Clatter—"
After Ji Xi washed the dishes, he put them aside, and Ji Cao helped put them away again. The two of them divided up the work and finished it in a while.
"Wipe your hands."
"Thank you, Xiaoxi." Ji Cao smiled, rolled her eyes, and passed her hand in front of the other party, the meaning was self-evident.
Ji Xi wiped Ji Cao's hands clean, held them in hand, and came out hand in hand.
"Xiao Xi, Mom has something to tell you." After Ji's mother guessed Ji Xi's heart, she looked at the hands of the two and immediately understood, instead of thinking that the two were pure friendship like before. And looking back at the scenes of the two of them getting along before, the intimacy really didn't look like friends, it was more like lovers.
Ji Xi followed her gaze and saw his and Ji Cao's hands, seemed to understand something, nodded, then turned to look at Ji Cao, "You watch TV first, let's go talk."
"Hmm." Although Ji Cao couldn't understand, she nodded obediently and sat on the sofa.
Worried about being heard by Ji Cao, the two went to the room on the second floor to talk. Mother Ji asked after closing the door, "Xiao Xi, are you serious?"
Without even thinking about it, Ji Xi said, "If you say I like things about Xiaolu, then you are serious."
After hearing her confession, Mother Ji collapsed immediately, "I don't mind if you like girls, but Xiaocao is different from us, she is not human."
"I know. Regardless of whether she is human or not, I like her." Ji Xi said firmly, "Besides, don't you already know that she is not human?"
"I mean, the lifespan of monsters will definitely be longer than that of us humans, right? When you get old, she will still look like this, what are you going to do?" Mother Ji asked worriedly, "Xiaoxi, you have already thought about all these things. ?"
"I don't want to think about the future, I only know that the only thing I can grasp is the present." It's not that Ji Xi hasn't thought about this issue, but who knows about the future? Rather than wasting time worrying about this and that, it is better to follow your heart and grasp the present time well.
Looking at her like that, Ji's mother knew that she would not change her mind easily, and she was about to continue persuading her, but was interrupted by Ji Xi first.
"Mom, I know these things in my own mind. Don't go to Xiaolu and say something." Ji Xi licked his lower lip and said bitterly, "I haven't confessed to her publicly yet."
Mother Ji looked at her distressedly, but knowing that she had made a decision and ten cows would not be able to pull back, she could only sigh and said, "If you have time, go to Fo'en Temple to see it. At the beginning, the host said that it would wait until you have it." If you like someone, go find her."
Ji Xi had long forgotten what happened before, so he could only nod his head, "I'll go on the weekend."
"Then go out quickly, don't make Xiaocao wait." Ji's mother looked at her back, "Mom will support you in whatever decision you make, but you have to protect yourself, don't make Xiaocao angry, so as not to be caught by Xiaocao." The Cao family is violent." If there is a conflict between the two, Xiaocao, as a monster, will definitely have the upper hand, and it will be Ji Xi who will suffer.
Ji Xi staggered, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "There won't be such a day."
Ji's mother tried her best to keep a straight face: "Anyway, just don't quarrel."
"Yes, yes, yes." Ji Xi waved his hand, went downstairs to the hall, and found that Ji Cao was lying on the back of the sofa looking at this side, his expression suddenly eased, and he walked briskly. As soon as she got near the sofa, Ji Cao jumped up and threw herself into her arms.
Not far away, Mother Ji stood at the stairs on the second floor, looked at the backs of the two intimately, and sighed faintly.
