"Grandma, Yu Ning and I are studying at the same university. We live in the same dormitory and have a good relationship." Ji Mingxia introduced carefully.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Ji looked up at Yu Ning.
There is no doubt that Yu Ning's appearance is extremely outstanding.
Ji Mingxia stood out in the crowd. Yu Ning was slightly taller than Ji Mingxia, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and smooth and sharp facial lines. Although his face was pale and looked a bit gloomy, his gentle and calm expression at the moment diluted the weirdness and beauty, making him unforgettable.
Such a person's appearance and temperament are naturally impeccable, but for a person of his generation, such appearance is actually too outstanding.
Grandma Ji naturally had an impression of the name Yu Yuning.
After Ji Mingxia returned from missing for a few days during the summer vacation of his senior year in high school, his personality had changed drastically. She thought Ji Mingxia wanted to elope with Ke.
When Ji Mingxia was explaining, he took out the hotel accommodation records in his mobile phone to show her for clarification. Grandma Ji not only saw that Ji Mingxia lived with Yu Ning during those days, but also accidentally saw the call records between Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
Ji Mingxia called Yu Ning nine times, but Yu Ning didn't answer any of them.
But if Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia have no intention, it won't work.
Because later when Ji Mingxia was in danger, a ring saved Ji Mingxia's life at the critical moment.
That ring was the one Yu Ning gave to Ji Mingxia.
Compared to that guy named Ke, who was always trying to please her and jumping around, he finally deceived her Ji Mingxia's feelings.
This Yu Ning is rather ethereal and mysterious.
He had never appeared in front of Grandma Ji, but everything around Ji Mingxia had the shadow of Yu Ning.
At that time, Grandma Ji predicted that this Yu Ning might not be a simple person.
It's just that Ji Mingxia didn't take the initiative to ask about the relationship between him and Yu Ning, so Grandma Ji didn't ask too much. She thought that if these two people were not destined to be together, Ji Mingxia would slowly forget about this person after he went to college.
I never thought that in less than half a year, Ji Mingxia actually brought someone home.
At this time, she finally saw the true face of Mount Lu. Grandma Ji came up to Yu Ning and looked him up and down, and finally her eyes fell on Yu Ning's hand.
Ji Mingxia was wearing a blood-red ring on her finger, which Grandma Ji had seen before.
Until today, Grandma Ji finally saw the other one, and it was indeed worn on Yu Ning's finger.
The two rings were obviously one and the same.
Although Grandma Ji is old, she also knows what wearing a ring means.
Although these two rings were very special and protected Ji Mingxia's life, Grandma Ji also saw at a glance the hidden thoughts behind Yu Ning giving the rings to Ji Mingxia.
Only his stupid grandson, who was so foolish that he didn't understand anything, put on the ring without informing her or anyone else, and has been wearing it until now!
Grandma Ji had a dignified face, and her eyes, as if with warmth, fell on Yu Ning.
Yu Ning, who was always calm and composed, felt a sense of urgency for the first time when facing Grandma Ji's gaze.
I felt Grandma Ji’s burning gaze falling on my hands.
Yu Ning held Ji Mingxia's hand and moved it unnaturally. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should continue to hold it or put it away and hide it behind his back.
Seeing this, Ji Mingxia naturally felt the tension in the atmosphere.
With his closest relatives around him, Ji Mingxia quickly said, "Grandma, it's New Year's Day holiday, and everyone is going home to reunite with their families. Yu Ning has been alone since he was a child, and there are no relatives around him who care about him. So you can take him back to our village to relax. He usually takes special care of you, so you can be his grandma. From now on, the two of you will be filial to you together!"
Grandma Ji was staring at Yu Ning, but Ji Mingxia stood in the middle, swaying left and right to block her view and chattering non-stop.
When she said the last sentence, Grandma Ji's gaze finally shifted to Ji Mingxia.
Seeing him looking at her in a flattering manner, with a pleading look in his eyes, even a tough woman like Grandma Ji couldn't help but soften her heart in the end.
At least I didn't come back specially to see the guy named Ke. I don't know what kind of person Yu Ning is, but no matter what, he is still a benefactor of Jiaoye Village...
Grandma Ji retracted her gaze and did not ask further questions. Instead, she looked at Ji Mingxia and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Ji Mingxia quickly shook her head: "No, I'm really hungry, grandma."
"Then why don't you hurry up and eat!" Grandma Ji scolded, "There are porridge and side dishes in the kitchen, not many, you two can make do with them to fill your stomachs first, and we'll come back after you finish eating."
Hearing this, Ji Mingxia naturally understood that Grandma Ji had tacitly agreed to let Yu Ning live here. His eyes lit up and he reached out to hug Grandma Ji: "Thank you, Grandma!"
Grandma Ji looked at Ji Mingxia with disdain, tapped Ji Mingxia's leg with her cane, and said disdainfully: "Go, go!"
Ji Mingxia smiled innocently, turned around immediately, and pulled Yu Ning to the kitchen.
Grandma Ji looked at Ji Mingxia's impetuous appearance. Although he was naive and silly, he was full of energy and much more energetic than he was during the summer vacation.
She sighed helplessly, came and sat in the rocking chair beside the table, quietly watching the two people busy in the kitchen.
Ji Mingxia walked into Yu Ning's kitchen and began to introduce: "You should recognize these appliances on the left. The one on the right is the stove. The cupboard is over here. There is a small yard outside the kitchen balcony. There are a lot of onions, garlic and coriander planted. Some are my grandmother's, and some are my own. Not only the balcony, but also a piece of land outside is full of the fruits of my labor. They were all made when I was bored at home during last summer vacation..."
Yu Ning listened quietly and seriously, looking at Ji Mingxia intently the whole time. Hearing that he had such a colorful summer vacation, the smile on Yu Ning's face became even more intense.
"Let's cook first. I'll take you for a walk when I have time." Ji Mingxia said, and quickly started to wash rice and cook.
Although Grandma Ji prepared porridge and side dishes, they were breakfast prepared by their family members for themselves, so Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning naturally did not want to eat them.
Although they were not very good at cooking, they did have basic survival skills, especially Yu Ning, who was extremely meticulous in this regard.
Originally, Ji Mingxia stood in the main position at the beginning, and Yu Ning assisted him, but as time went on, it unconsciously became Yu Ning standing in the middle, with Ji Mingxia helping out on the side.
She poured some rice into the rice cooker to quickly cook porridge and at the same time fried a few simple side dishes. Less than half an hour later, Ji Mingxia came out of the kitchen with the dishes.
"Grandma, come and eat." Ji Mingxia shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Ning came out of the kitchen, scooped out the porridge, carefully arranged it on the plate, and waited for Grandma Ji to eat together.
Seeing this, Grandma Ji had no choice but to get up and share breakfast with Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia.
Ji Mingxia was worried at first that Grandma Ji and Yu Ning would be unhappy at the dinner table, but fortunately, both of them adhered to the principle of not talking while eating, and the atmosphere at the table was harmonious.
These two people were Ji Mingxia's closest people. It was the first time for the three of them to sit together for a meal. Ji Mingxia looked to the left and then to the right, feeling extremely satisfied. He slowly relaxed and enjoyed the meal happily.
After the meal, Yu Ning put away the dishes and chopsticks as usual and took them to the kitchen to wash them, while Ji Mingxia sat beside him and burped contentedly.
Grandma Ji glanced at Yu Ning in the kitchen, then looked at Ji Mingxia, who was starving, and couldn't help asking, "Do you think he is usually like this?"
"Ah?" Ji Mingxia was just thinking about where to let Yu Ning sleep at night, when Grandma Ji suddenly asked. Ji Mingxia was stunned and looked at Grandma Ji blankly and said, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
"Does Yu Ning want to wash the dishes?" Grandma Ji hinted, "Aren't you afraid that he will break the dishes?"
Ji Mingxia thought that Grandma Ji was going to question Yu Ning's ability, so she quickly said, "No, Yu Ning is the most careful. Grandma, our Yu Ning is a genius. There is no Yu Ning in this world who is not good!"
Ji Mingxia smiled and praised very enthusiastically: "Before, when we were in the wild, all the luggage and equipment were packed by Yu Ning. It was very careful and complete. Not only was there enough for the two of us to eat, but we also saved others on the way and there was enough for them to share. When we were in school, Yu Ning bought us breakfast, and for lunch and dinner, sometimes we ordered takeout and sometimes we packed our own food. Every time, Yu Ning arranged everything properly!"
Ji Mingxia smiled, approached Grandma Ji, and whispered: "My dear, a few days ago, you went to the suburbs to do charity work. I thought that since Yu Ning usually took care of me, I should show some extra care this time. But I didn't expect that I got carsick and fell asleep the whole time. Yu Ning, not only didn't get carsick, but he was able to concentrate on reading the materials while riding in the car!"
Ji Mingxia kept on talking about his and Yu Ning's daily life, without giving Grandma Ji a chance to interrupt.
After Ji Mingxia finished nagging, Yu Ning finished cleaning up and came out of the kitchen.
Grandma Ji glanced at Yu Ning, then at Ji Mingxia, and sighed helplessly. She didn't know whether to think that her grandson was a fool who fell into trouble, or that the fool had good fortune.
After finishing breakfast, while they were still energetic, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning took their backpacks upstairs together.
Although Ji Mingxia was not at home in the past few months, Grandma Ji had been cleaning his room.
When he walked in now, the whole bedroom was clean and tidy, exactly the same as when Ji Mingxia left.
Ji Mingxia casually put his backpack on the bed. After Yu Ning came to close the door, he looked at Yu Ning awkwardly and said, "Yu Ning, I'm sorry. Actually, I didn't have time to say hello to grandma..."
Yu Ning's expression was very calm: "I have already guessed it."
“You guessed all this?” Ji Mingxia’s eyes widened, but he was not very surprised. After spending so much time together, he had gradually gotten used to Yu Ning’s ability to foresee things_(:3∠)_.
Yu Ning said: "I also want to see what image you have in grandma's heart, but I didn't expect..."
Ji Mingxia immediately thought of Grandma Ji's angry and majestic look when they just opened the door. Although some of Grandma Ji's words seemed a little strange, that was not the point.
The key point is, we must not let Yu Ning's grandmother Ji leave a bad impression!
Ji Mingxia hurriedly explained: "Grandma... must have been too surprised, so she looked angry, but after your explanation, she quickly accepted you!"
Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia's anxious expression and nodded with a smile.
Ji Mingxia comforted him, "Don't worry, grandma only looks fierce on the surface. In fact, she is the softest person. When I first came back last year, she was like this too. I was shocked, but after spending a few days with her, I understood that no matter how she behaves, her heart will never change."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ning's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Are you surprised too?"
"Yeah." Ji Mingxia was afraid that Yu Ning would have a psychological trauma, so he generously shared with him his mental journey when he first met his grandmother last year.
Especially the little tricks to coax Grandma Ji, Ji Mingxia taught them all and shared them selflessly.
Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia intently, silently, and did not speak for a long time.
