The surname Ke is together, married abroad, household registration book...
Although Grandma Ji's words were brief, they contained a huge amount of information.
Could this guy named Ke be the original body’s ex-boyfriend
Ji Mingxia still doesn't know who her ex-boyfriend was, what his name was, or what he looked like.
But judging by Pei Yuan and Grandma Ji's reactions, the original body is worthy of being a love mentor. His past is filled with the shadow of his ex-boyfriend.
Love is obviously a very important thing in his life.
Unfortunately, neither Pei Yuan nor Grandma Ji is optimistic about their love.
Ji Mingxia didn't dare to discuss the past of his original body with Grandma Ji, but it was no problem to simply dispel the rumors.
Grandma Ji looked disgusted, and Ji Mingxia denied it: "I didn't ask for a household registration booklet, nor did I plan to get married abroad. I just went upstairs... I just packed up a little, don't get me wrong."
Grandma Ji was prepared for Ji Mingxia to fly into a rage and start an argument with her. She straightened her back, ready to retort at any time, but she didn't expect that what she got was Ji Mingxia's explanation.
Ji Mingxia looked at her honestly. Grandma Ji was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and still couldn't believe Ji Mingxia.
Grandma Ji said, "If you hadn't conspired with Ke, would you be so obedient today and sit here to eat with me?"
Ji Mingxia was shocked when he heard this. Isn't it normal to go home and sit down to eat? Doesn't the original body usually eat with grandma
Grandma Ji said this and looked around.
Their home was not messy to begin with, it was just that Grandma Ji was old and there were some places that she couldn't clean.
After Ji Mingxia came back, he tidied up the place appropriately. Actually, there were not many changes, but the whole house suddenly looked a lot brighter and tidier.
Seeing what Ji Mingxia had done, Grandma Ji was very touched. But when she thought that all this was done by Ji Mingxia for the man named Ke, Grandma Ji couldn't help but feel the nameless anger rising in her heart.
"If you hadn't done something shameful, would you have done this?" Grandma Ji asked, "You turned off your phone for several days. If you weren't afraid that I would find out when you went abroad, what else could it be for?"
Faced with Grandma Ji's continuous questioning, Ji Mingxia was completely confused.
Grandma Ji in his world was gentle and open-minded, always cheerful. Even when Ji Mingxia was a child and was very naughty, Grandma Ji never frowned. She had questioned him seriously this time.
When Ji Mingxia grew up, he would occasionally do something wrong. Although Grandma Ji would scold him a few words, it would basically be over after she finished scolding him.
She usually speaks slowly, as if even if the sky falls, she won't panic.
But the Grandma Ji in front of him was completely different from the old woman in Ji Mingxia's memory.
Ji Mingxia already felt guilty, and faced with such a Grandma Ji, he felt even more at a loss as to what to do.
But knowing that Grandma Ji had misunderstood, Ji Mingxia couldn't just let the misunderstanding remain unresolved.
Under the pressure of Grandma Ji's majestic gaze, Ji Mingxia gritted his teeth and stuttered: "I didn't go abroad. This time I really went to Quanzhuang for vacation with my roommates. Everyone in our dormitory went there. We went and came back together. I was with Zhao Zhuoyue and Chen Zhen, who you all know..."
Ji Mingxia said: "My phone was turned off because the signal was bad in that place. I couldn't use it at all, so I forgot to check it. When I remembered, I immediately turned it on and called you."
As he spoke, he secretly looked up at Grandma Ji, but Grandma Ji still looked at him coldly.
After all, in modern society, a young man of Ji Mingxia's age turned off his mobile phone for many days for no apparent reason, and finally explained that he forgot about it. This excuse is really hard to convince people.
Ji Mingxia couldn't tell Grandma Ji about what happened in the forest. His cell phone was turned off and he couldn't explain it clearly. He could only start from other places.
Ji Mingxia said again: "If I really wanted to deceive you, I could call you from abroad and talk to you every day. You wouldn't know whether I was in China or abroad. There was no need to turn off my phone and make it obvious."
After hearing what Ji Mingxia said, Grandma Ji felt a little relieved, but she still looked at Ji Mingxia suspiciously, her eyes drifting towards the ring on Ji Mingxia's hand from time to time.
Ji Mingxia and Grandma Ji were very concerned about the ring and couldn't help but secretly try to take it off again.
Sure enough, the ring was still firmly attached to his finger, not moving at all, and there was no way he could take it off.
Unable to take off the ring to show his determination, Ji Mingxia could only say to Grandma Ji: "This ring was given to me by my classmate. He was going to the capital and left it to me as a souvenir before he left. I just wore it casually, there is no other meaning."
"Grandma, think about it. If I really lied to you, I would turn off my phone first, then come back wearing the ring and swagger around in front of you. What am I trying to do?" Ji Mingxia
"You told me that you were with the guy named Ke." Grandma Ji continued, "You want to show off in front of me and make an old woman like me die of anger."
Ji Mingxia was so stunned by Grandma Ji's words that he almost choked.
He never imagined that this was the image of his original self in Grandma Ji's mind!
No wonder after he came back and tidied up the house a little, Grandma Ji thought he was abnormal.
Even sitting down and eating properly became an abnormal behavior.
But if you think about it carefully, it is precisely this strained relationship that caused Grandma Ji to have such a cold reaction on the surface when she saw her long-lost grandson coming home.
As soon as she saw Ji Mingxia come into the house, Grandma Ji started cooking for him, but her face didn't show any welcome at all. It turned out that the reason was here.
Ji Mingxia understood it too late. At this moment, his abnormal behavior had already been seen by Grandma Ji.
But Ji Mingxia had no way to remedy the situation.
The original body's personality at school was basically the same as Ji Mingxia's, but at home, he was a completely different person.
Even though Ji Mingxia knew how his original self got along with Grandma Ji, he did not have the same experience as his original self and could not go against his own heart and have a big fight with Grandma Ji.
He respected Grandma Ji from the bottom of his heart. Even though the Grandma Ji in front of him was not the old lady he lived with day and night, Ji Mingxia could feel the love for him from Grandma Ji's stern face.
Anyway, the flaw has been exposed, so Ji Mingxia will not try to save the situation. It is better to resolve the misunderstanding first.
Ji Mingxia said: "Then there is no need for me to waste this little time. While you are cooking, I will go upstairs to find the household registration book. Same-sex marriages abroad are registered with passports. Our household registration books and ID cards cannot be used abroad."
Thanks to the BL novels he had read before, Ji Mingxia had a little understanding of same-sex marriage.
After listening to Ji Mingxia's words, Grandma Ji began to waver.
After all, logically speaking, Ji Mingxia's explanation makes more sense.
But her long-standing impression of Ji Mingxia still made her feel uneasy. She looked at Ji Mingxia doubtfully and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe my phone. This is my stay in the hotel. It's all recorded on the app. Not only me, but also many of my classmates were with me. With so many people, how could I have time to fall in love?" Ji Mingxia said the last sentence. Thinking of the couple hotel he and Yu Ning stayed in, he felt inexplicably guilty.
However, what the app recorded was an ordinary double room, and the person living with him was Yu Ning, not the one with the surname Ke.
In order to make Grandma Ji believe his words, Ji Mingxia immediately put the mobile phone in front of Grandma Ji.
Grandma Ji looked at the calm Ji Mingxia, then lowered her head to glance at her mobile phone. At this moment, the page did show Ji Mingxia's check-in record at Quanzhuang.
Ji Mingxia sat obediently aside, waiting for his answer. Although Grandma Ji didn’t want to see Ji Mingxia’s privacy, she couldn’t help it. She stretched out her hand and looked down.
The names of Zhao Zhuoyue, Chen Zhen and others appeared one by one.
Grandma Ji was stunned when she saw the names of these roommates and Ji Mingxia side by side. As a result, her hand shook accidentally, and she somehow jumped out of the app and returned to a program on her phone.
The last app on Ji Mingxia’s phone was the call log page.
After reading the hotel check-in records, Grandma Ji didn't plan to read any more, but the call record page popped up. The black text on a white background was particularly eye-catching. Grandma Ji took a look unconsciously and all of Ji Mingxia's recent call records came into her sight.
On the recent calls page, there were many people who had called Ji Mingxia, including her number, Zhao Zhuoyue, Chen Zhen, Bao Guangyuan, etc. There were all kinds of names, but there was no one with the surname Ke.
The time on the call page was clear, and she touched it unconsciously, so there was no possibility that Ji Mingxia had falsified it.
What he said was most likely the truth, and she misunderstood him.
After realizing this, Grandma Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but was also extremely surprised.
Because once it is confirmed that Ji Mingxia is telling the truth, then the situation will be full of things that she cannot understand.
Because she opposed Ji Mingxia and the man surnamed Ke being together, the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren has been very bad over the years. The grandson, who had always been disobedient, suddenly changed his personality.
As soon as I got home, I helped her carry the groceries and do the housework, and I almost planned to cook...
During the meal, he sat opposite her obediently. When she questioned him, he did not yell or quarrel. Instead, he patiently explained everything one by one...
If it wasn't daytime now, and the young man in front of her looked and had the same voice as her grandson, Grandma Ji would have almost suspected that this Ji Mingxia in front of her was fake.
Thinking of this, suddenly, Grandma Ji noticed the top of the call page.
In this row of call records, the person Ji Mingxia called most recently was a person named "Yu Ning".
Yu Ning (9).
Ji Mingxia called Yu Ning nine times, but Yu Ning didn’t answer any of them
Grandma Ji noticed this detail. She looked up and found Ji Mingxia still looking at her hesitantly. Grandma Ji's expression changed and she returned the phone to Ji Mingxia.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." said Grandma Ji.
She had an old face and a hoarse voice. When she questioned, her expression was sharp, and when she apologized, her expression was serious and earnest.
Ji Mingxia didn't expect Grandma Ji to apologize so solemnly, and quickly waved his hands and said, "It's my fault too. I didn't answer any of your calls... I'll pay more attention next time."
Grandma Ji listened to Ji Mingxia's assurance, looked at Ji Mingxia deeply, with a lot of doubts in her heart, but finally nodded.
Ji Mingxia naturally noticed that when Grandma Ji looked at him, her expression was full of suspicion.
But now that things have come to this, he can only let things take their course.
Grandma Ji is an extraneous character in the original novel, but also a relative of Ji Mingxia. Before meeting her, Ji Mingxia was very nervous, but when facing her face to face, he found that she was better than he thought.
Even though he knew that Grandma Ji was suspicious of him, Ji Mingxia was very honest and pretended not to see it.
Anyway, there is no second Ji Mingxia in this world.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia's gaze finally stopped on Grandma Ji's graying hair.
What he wanted to understand most now was Grandma Ji’s age.
Grandma Ji was suspicious of the current Ji Mingxia, and Ji Mingxia didn't know how to get along with Grandma Ji, so the two of them maintained this weird atmosphere and spent the day.
After nightfall, Ji Mingxia lay on his bed and couldn't help but open his address book again, hesitating whether to call Yu Ning.
Just as Ji Mingxia was hesitating, suddenly, a loud doorbell rang in the yard.
Because the house covers a large area, Grandma Ji installed a doorbell on the iron gate of the yard. This way, when someone visits, they can press the doorbell and the people in the house will know.
Ji Mingxia often lives with his grandmother, so he is naturally very familiar with the doorbell tone.
But at this moment, the ringing of the bell in the courtyard made Ji Mingxia feel uncomfortable.
Although the sound was the same as he remembered, it was particularly loud and harsh, perhaps because it suddenly sounded in the night.
Ji Mingxia looked at the time and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
For people in the city, ten o'clock is just the beginning of the night, but for people in the village, this is the time to prepare for bed.
For example, Ji Mingxia’s grandmother had already returned to her room and lay down at eight o’clock.
The doorbell was still ringing "ding ding ding". The person who pressed the bell seemed to be very anxious and kept pressing the button, causing the ringing to become so rapid that it could not be ignored.
Ji Mingxia quickly got up from the bed, opened the curtains and looked out.
The pitch-black sky enveloped the entire village. Apart from the street lights, there were no lights on in any residential buildings within Ji Mingxia's sight.
Looking around, whether it was the streets outside or the residential buildings, everything was quiet, without any sound or movement.
Except for the loud doorbell ringing in front of Ji Mingxia's house.
Ji Mingxia glanced in the direction of the door. When the courtyard was designed, for the sake of safety and convenience in daily life, roof protection was built above the courtyard wall and the door.
At this moment, the position outside the courtyard gate was blocked by the guardrail. From Ji Mingxia's perspective, he could not see clearly the person who rang the bell.
Ji Mingxia had no choice but to ask, "Who's ringing the bell?"
The ringing of the phone paused for a moment, and then rang again mechanically. No one answered the whole time.
I don’t know if it was Ji Mingxia’s illusion, but I felt that after he shouted, the whole village became even quieter.
The ringing was so loud that in order to prevent Grandma Ji and the neighbors from being woken up, Ji Mingxia had to come out of the room and quickly go downstairs.
When walking through the corridor, he felt that it was pitch black all around, so Ji Mingxia quickly turned on all the lights.
The headlights, downlights and wall lamps were all lit up, making the whole room bright and instantly dispelling the dark haze.
Hearing the doorbell still ringing, Ji Mingxia walked out in slippers, saying, "I'm coming."
He hoped that the person who was ringing the bell would hear him and stop ringing.
But the people outside the hospital turned a deaf ear and not only did they not stop, they pressed the buttons even more urgently.
The courtyard gate of Grandma Ji's house is a semi-hollow iron gate. The middle is an airtight iron plate, and it is hollowed out at the top and bottom. It is a very common style of country gate.
Ji Mingxia walked towards the courtyard gate in slippers. The street lights outside were still on, and everything in the courtyard was clear.
Through the hollow space below the iron gate, although Ji Mingxia could not see the feet of the person outside the door, he could see a dark shadow.
It should be the shadow cast on the ground by the street light shining on the person.
The doorbell was still ringing wildly. Ji Mingxia was affected by the noise and felt a little impatient. He just wanted the ringing to stop quickly.
He quickly put his hand on the door lock, and just as Ji Mingxia was about to turn the lock to open the door, he suddenly noticed that the blood-red ring on his ring finger was glowing slightly.
Ji Mingxia was stunned for a moment, and instinctively retracted his hand and did not touch the door lock again.
He looked at the iron gate in front of him, and then at the dark shadow on the ground.
At this moment, Ji Mingxia was only separated from the people outside by a door.
The street light shone down from the upper left, and Ji Mingxia's shadow fell clearly on the ground to his right. Almost every detail of his body was very clear in the shadow.
But the shadow of the person outside the door was blurry and dark, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
The doorbell kept ringing, and the person outside seemed very anxious when he saw that Ji Mingxia didn't open the door.
Not only did he press the doorbell frantically, but he also made the button shake continuously as he pressed it.
The sound of "Knock knock knock" the doorbell happened right in front of Ji Mingxia. Ji Mingxia looked at the black shadow and took a step back unconsciously.
At this moment, he suddenly saw the doorbell screen hanging on the wall.
Grandma Ji's house is equipped with a smart doorbell and two video cameras. One is in Grandma Ji's bedroom, which is convenient for guests to come when she is resting. After all, Grandma Ji is old and her hands and feet are not nimble, so she can open the door for people in the room; the other is at the door in the yard, which is generally used for daily life.
Ji Mingxia was annoyed by the doorbell and was about to open the door out of habit. It was not until he saw the screen that he remembered that the doorbell also had a monitoring function.
Ji Mingxia stretched out his hand and gently pressed the camera start button under the viewfinder.
As soon as the screen lit up, the camera outside the door was immediately activated and aimed at the gate to take a clear picture.
The doorbell was ringing "ding ding ding" and the knocking on the door was "dong dong dong" disturbing people's ears, and the black shadow was still outside the door.
However, on the visual screen, the gate of the Ji family was empty, with nothing in it.
