Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning caught a plane overnight and then drove to Funan County without stopping. They usually have a regular schedule at school and did not sleep all night. Although they were young and could withstand staying up late, they were still inevitably a little tired.
Especially Ji Mingxia, although he was indignant in his heart, the car was shaking, and under the combined effects of drowsiness and motion sickness, he gradually became drowsy and yawned several times in succession.
Yu Ning was quietly looking at the documents on his phone, and Ji Mingxia couldn't help but recall the scene when they took a car to the suburbs together.
At that time he was still thinking about showing off his boyfriend power in the car, but now Ji Mingxia finally understood that, at least in terms of riding in a car, he would not have any chance to show off.
After a tiring night, Ji Mingxia was drowsy, but Yu Ning still had the energy to read some boring documents.
This person's energy is totally incomparable to anyone else's!
Anyway, I fell asleep last time, so it doesn’t matter today.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia shamelessly whispered to Yu Ning: "Yu Ning, I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me if you need anything."
"Yeah." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia leaned back and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
After he fell asleep, Yu Ning reached out and gently supported Ji Mingxia's chin, allowing him to sleep more comfortably on his shoulder. After confirming that Ji Mingxia was asleep, Yu Ning continued to look down at his phone.
A few girls who were chatting, while talking, noticed that there was no movement from Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, and couldn't help but look in their direction.
When they found that Ji Mingxia had fallen asleep leaning on Yu Ning, they looked at each other with interested expressions on their faces.
Although Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia were both wearing masks, anyone could tell that they were both good-looking.
Especially Yu Ning, his eyebrows are as delicate and exquisite as ink paintings, and his nose is thin and straight. The upper half of his face looks like this, and the lower half is hidden in the mask. As long as he is not extremely ugly, he will be a handsome guy.
Although they just had a bad chat with Ji Mingxia, the way Ji Mingxia spoke still left a deep impression on them.
Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia got in the car together. They were friends, and they regarded Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia as the same kind of people.
One of the girls looked at Yu Ning and asked directly, "Handsome boy, are you two a couple?"
As soon as she finished speaking, not only her other companions, but even the driver couldn't help but look in their direction through the rearview mirror.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Ning, but the person being questioned, Yu Ning, seemed not to have heard anything and did not react at all.
There was silence in the car for a few seconds. The girl waited for a moment, but Yu Ning completely ignored her. She immediately realized that she was being ignored.
Her companions looked at her awkwardly. The girl felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but said, "Of course, straight guys would cling to each other like this. I saw it when you first got in the car. You opened the door for him, blocked the roof, and unscrewed the water bottle for him. You ignored all the beauties in our car. You were obviously gay. He likes Yu Ning, wouldn't you be unhappy? It is said that—"
The girl was halfway through her words when she suddenly felt a chill on her back, as if something cold and gloomy was penetrating into her limbs and bones.
She shuddered, looked up, and found that her friends were shaking their heads at her.
The girl felt her hair stand on end, and she looked to the side, and found that Yu Ning had put down his phone without noticing and was looking at him coldly.
Those eyes were delicate and beautiful, not like those of a living person. The black and white were distinct, and the pupils seemed particularly large, like glass beads, staring at himself with a dark gaze.
Although only half of his face was exposed, his skin was pale and bloodless, which made his eyes look even darker and more eerie.
It was the darkest time before dawn. The car passed through the suburbs. Outside the window, there were dim shadows of farmland and trees. It was cold and desolate.
Looking inside the car again, Yu Ning looked like a lifeless person. A wave of chill swept over the girl, and she closed her mouth unconsciously, not daring to say anything more.
Yu Ning paused, then lowered her head and continued reading the documents.
Although he looked away, the eerie feeling did not disappear.
Not only her, but also several others didn't dare to speak. They simply lowered their heads and started communicating on their mobile phones.
The interior of the car quickly fell into silence, with only the sound of the wind blowing past as the car moved.
The only person in the carriage who had already fallen asleep was Ji Mingxia. In the quiet atmosphere, he slept even more soundly.
It was not until they arrived at Funan County and the car stopped in the central area of the county that Ji Mingxia opened his eyes in a daze.
Several girls got out of the car silently and quickly. In less than a minute, most of the car was empty.
Ji Mingxia looked up and found that there was no one in the car. He looked out the window and saw the scenery. It was his familiar hometown. He said to Yu Ning vaguely, "Are we there?"
"It will take until dawn to get to Jiaoye Village after we get to Funan County, so let's continue sleeping." Yu Ning whispered.
Ji Mingxia nodded and was about to close his eyes when his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a scene outside the window.
Ji Mingxia's expression froze, and then he suddenly widened his eyes and looked out the window in the direction of the school: "Yu Ning, is that our middle school over there?"
Yu Ning followed Ji Mingxia's gaze and saw the main gate of the middle school. "Yes, what happened?"
"How strange..." Ji Mingxia muttered as he stared at the middle school.
Yu Ning didn't see anything unusual. He looked at Ji Mingxia in confusion: "What's strange?"
"I don't know, but I always feel like there's something inside that's attracting me. I want to go in and take a look..." Ji Mingxia said slowly. After he finished speaking, he also felt that this feeling was inexplicable. He came back to his senses and smiled at Yu Ning, "Maybe it's because I haven't been home for a long time. When I first saw my high school, I missed it a little. Especially the dormitory. When we met for the first time, it was amazing. Do you want to go and take a look together?"
Without waiting for Yu Ning to answer, at this moment, the driver came back to the car after sending a few girls away.
After finding Ji Mingxia awake, the driver said, "You're awake. Those fans have gotten off the bus. I'll take you two to Banana Leaf Village next. I'll finish this as soon as possible because I need to go back and catch up on my sleep."
After hearing this, Ji Mingxia naturally didn't bother the driver to stop the car anymore.
Because his attention was focused on the school and the driver, Ji Mingxia did not notice that when he sent a message saying "the first time we met was in the dormitory", Yu Ning's expression changed slightly.
Ji Mingxia turned around only after the school was out of sight. He found Yu Ning staring at him. Ji Mingxia thought Yu Ning also wanted to go back to school, so he whispered to Yu Ning, "Let's go back to the village first. When we get back to H University, we'll go out early, take a walk around the school, and then take the plane."
Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia who seemed unaware of what was happening, retracted his gaze, nodded slowly, and said nothing more.
Ji Mingxia had just taken a nap, and seeing that they were not far from Jiaoye Village, he did not close his eyes again.
The early morning light penetrated the darkness and fell on the mountains. At around seven o'clock, the car stopped at the entrance of Jiaoye Village.
After saying goodbye to the driver, Ji Mingxia opened the door and got out of the car first, followed closely by Yu Ning carrying a backpack. The two of them walked slowly into Jiaoye Village.
"This is where I grew up." Ji Mingxia introduced to Yu Ning as they walked, "This is the old site of Zhou Tao's small supermarket. We are right in front. Guess which one it is?"
"The one with the red door lock." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia looked at him in surprise: "How did you guess that?"
"You mentioned it to me before." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia had no memory of such details. He took off his mask with Yu Ning, walked forward with Yu Ning, carefully unlocked the door, and reminded Yu Ning: "It's cold in winter. Grandma may still be sleeping at this time. Let's go in first, clean the house, do all the housework we can, and then welcome grandma to wake up!"
"." Yu Ning said obediently.
Ji Mingxia nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the plan in his mind was perfect.
While grandma was sleeping, he and Yu Ning cleaned the house thoroughly. When grandma woke up and took a look, she would definitely not be angry even if she found out that he had brought someone back home to spend the night.
After the door opened, Ji Mingxia entered first, and Yu Ning followed him and closed the door.
After walking across the yard and opening the wooden door, Ji Mingxia was just about to put the bottle of mineral water in his hand on the coffee table, but when he looked up, he saw Grandma Ji sitting on the sofa.
Grandma Ji suddenly saw someone peeking in. After taking a closer look, she found out it was Ji Mingxia and her eyes widened immediately.
After being surprised, Grandma Ji didn't know what she was thinking about, and her face suddenly darkened: "Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?"
When Ji Mingxia saw Grandma Ji's expression, he felt unhappy in his heart.
I didn't expect that grandma got up so early, not only did she not give me a surprise, but she also brought back a shock.
Looking at grandma's demeanor and expression, you can tell that she is in a bad mood today. She is very, very unhappy!
This is hitting the gun point, the pill!
Ji Mingxia hurriedly said pleadingly: "Grandma, I had something to do yesterday, so I couldn't come back during the day, but the flight was changed to the evening. My school has a long vacation, and I thought it would be boring to stay in school, so I came back overnight. I haven't seen you for a few months, and you look a lot younger. I miss you so much!!"
As Ji Mingxia spoke, he opened his arms and flew in front of his grandmother, ready to use all his tricks to please her.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu, who was very fond of Ji Mingxia's tricks, acted out of character today.
Not only did she not accept Ji Mingxia's hug, she even took out a crutch from the side and stood between her and Ji Mingxia.
Grandma stared at Ji Mingxia and said with a stern face: "Did you come back because you saw some news? You arrived at this time, which means you took a midnight flight and then took a few hours of bus to get to Jiaoye Village. You didn't sleep all night and stayed up all day. I guess you didn't have much to eat. Ji Mingxia, did you come back for him?"
Ji Mingxia felt a little nervous when he saw his grandmother's stern expression.
Grandma's words... Could it be that she already knew about Yu Ning's affair
My grandma is old and she likes watching TV news the most. She never surfs the Internet.
Could it be that the incident involving Yu Ning fermented so quickly that in just one night, not only were people discussing it online, but it even made it to TV news? !
Ji Mingxia felt guilty and shocked. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Seeing Ji Mingxia's guilty and acquiescent look, Grandma Ji couldn't help but tighten her crutches in her hand. She raised her cane with a look of disappointment and slammed it hard on the floor in front of Ji Mingxia: "It's been so long, and you still haven't figured it out? Grandma has never been against you, and I don't want to interfere with you, but at least, you have to see the true face of others and take care of yourself, right?"
Ji Mingxia even thought that his grandmother was going to hit him with a cane, and he was so scared that he closed his eyes.
At this time, Yu Ning supported Ji Mingxia from behind and said to Grandma Ji: "Grandma, I was wrong about this matter. I will leave soon. Please don't scold Mingxia anymore."
Grandma Ji suddenly saw a stranger in her mind, holding Ji Mingxia, and asked warily: "Who are you?"
Ji Mingxia quickly opened his eyes and said to Grandma Ji: "Grandma, he is Yu Ning."
"Yu Ning?" Grandma Ji was stunned.
