Ji Junxing went back and told his parents about his proposal to Lin Xi. After all, dating is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families.
Besides, there is grandpa.
On the weekend, Ji Junxing went home first. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the elegant and moving piano sound in the hall.
Ji Luchi was sitting on the piano stool, and next to him was a man in his thirties. As soon as Ji Luchi finished playing the piano, he lowered his head and had a serious conversation with him.
"Brother." Ji Luchi heard someone coming in, turned around and saw it was Ji Junxing, and immediately smiled happily.
However, the teacher beside him whispered a reminder: "Lu Chi, pay attention."
Ji Luchi respected his teacher very much, and this teacher was a very famous young pianist in China. Wen Xuan was always concerned about the education of her two sons.
Whether it is Ji Junxing or Ji Luchi, they are the legendary children of other people's families.
Fortunately, the piano lesson ended quickly and Wen Xuan came down from upstairs on time.
When the teacher came to class, she would never disturb him. She would only show up to see the teacher off when the get out of class was over.
"Ah Xing, why are you back?" Wen Xuan actually felt surprised when she saw Ji Junxing at home.
However, Wen Xuan had something to discuss with her piano teacher, so she left the two brothers at home.
Ji Luchi ran over and sat next to Ji Junxing, and the young boy actually sighed particularly deeply.
Ji Junxing glanced at him in surprise, leaned back on the sofa and said lazily, "You are so young, why are you sighing?"
"Brother, I finally see you at home now." Ji Luchi didn't dare to blame Ji Junxing and complained a little.
Ji Junxing is really busy now. Not to mention home, he rarely goes back to school. His parents know what he is busy with, so they naturally have no objection to him not going home.
Only Ji Luchi could go to his brother's school to find him when his brother didn't come home.
Now it is difficult for him to see his brother.
As the little boy grew older, his love for his brother gradually grew into admiration.
Ji Junxing looked at him lazily, hummed softly, and asked, "Do you miss your brother?"
Ji Luchi has grown into a young boy after all. When he was a child, he talked about his love for his brother directly and loudly. At this time, he just muttered softly, "Of course I miss my brother."
"Brother, are you busy now?" Ji Luchi asked.
Ji Junxing nodded. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he stood up and moved closer.
"Chi Chi." Ji Junxing approached Ji Luchi, his voice soft, a bit like the wolf grandmother who seduced the child.
Ji Luchi didn't find it strange at all. Instead, he felt secretly happy in his heart. After all, his brother took the initiative to get close to him.
"Would you be happy if you could see Sister Xiaoxi every day?"
The little guy nodded without hesitation and said affirmatively: "Of course I will be happy."
Speaking of this, Ji Luchi was a little unhappy. He said, "Not only can I not see my brother now, but even Sister Xiaoxi is hard to see."
Ji Luchi was extremely sad.
Wen Xuan just happened to come back. Hearing his childish complaints, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little guy, your brothers and sisters have serious things to do, so how can they play with you every day?"
Wen Xuan looked at Ji Junxing and found a reason to get Ji Luchi away.
"Tell me, why did you come back this time?" Wen Xuan sat down next to him and asked directly.
No one knows a child better than his mother. Ji Junxing is so busy now, and he came back suddenly, so something must have happened.
Ji Junxing looked at her and didn't speak immediately. After a long while, he said seriously, "I proposed to Lin Xi."
Wen Xuan was completely stunned, with an incredible expression on her face.
Ji Junxing didn't expect her to have such an expression. After a long while, he whispered, "Will you bless us?"
At this moment, Wen Xuan came back to her senses and smiled. She leaned over and hugged Ji Junxing, "Ah Xing, of course mom will bless you."
After hearing Wen Xuan's words, Ji Junxing finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he knew that at his age, it was too early for his parents to decide on a lifelong event.
Since he was young, Ji Junxing has been considered by his elders to be a child with his own ideas.
He would never wear clothes he didn't like, and he would never open his mouth for food he didn't like, no matter how much he was coaxed. Until he grew up, he never knew what he wanted and what he was pursuing.
This heart is firm and has never wavered.
"Mom just didn't expect that you would be so impatient and propose to me before you even graduate." Wen Xuan smiled and explained why she was stunned just now. After all, she was just joking before.
She thought that these young people would postpone their marriage because they had ambitious goals to achieve.
She had never doubted Ji Junxing's feelings for Lin Xi.
Since that year, when she saw Ji Junxing sitting quietly at the gate of the Lin family, she understood everything.
Her son took Lin Xi to his heart.
Wen Xuan looked at him seriously and said softly, "Ah Xing, since you chose to propose to Lin Xi, Mom believes that you are ready to take responsibility for the rest of your lives."
"Marriage is very different from love. When two people are together, their living habits may be different and their upbringings may also be different. But why do two people form a family? Mom has been married for so many years and she doesn't seem to understand this question. I only know that the thing I regret least in my life is marrying your father."
"So, I hope you can be someone who, in ten or twenty years, or even when she is old and gray, when Lin Xi mentions Ji Junxing to others, she will smile and say, 'I have never regretted marrying her in this life.'"
Ji Junxing listened to her words and finally spoke in a low voice.
"I will."
Wen Xuan suddenly remembered something and whispered, "Since you proposed to Lin Xi, you'd better talk to Grandpa in person. Although he seems to have become a lot colder towards you in recent years, as long as you keep working hard like this, Grandpa will see it."
Wen Xuan rarely talks so much about Lin Xi and Ji Junxing.
After all, she had always liked Lin Xi since the first time she met her, and thought she was well-behaved and intelligent.
Ji Junxing nodded, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
Ji Wenqing has been living in China for the past two years. Although Northern Europe is nice, it is far away from his family, and as an old man, he will inevitably miss them. After he returned to China, Ji Xuanheng and Wen Xuan had been persuading him to live with them.
But the old man was opinionated and stubborn and didn't listen to them at all.
Fortunately, he still lives in Beijing, occasionally goes to Beidaihe, and last time he went to Shaoshan.
At his age, he has few friends, but they are all his friends for decades. He lives in a villa next to an old professor from the Chinese Academy of Sciences who likes to play chess, and the two of them get together when they have nothing to do.
When Ji Junxing arrived, the room was bustling with activity.
In the summer, a few old men would sit in the yard and play chess while enjoying the cool air. Now in winter, the weather is cold, so they just play inside the house. Ji Wenqing prepared tea to entertain people, and they all liked to come and sit with him.
"Grandpa." Ji Junxing followed the nanny into the house and shouted.
Then he greeted the other elderly people one by one.
The old professor from the Chinese Academy of Sciences was named Huang. He wore a pair of glasses and squinted at Ji Junxing. After looking at him for several times, he said softly, "Mr. Ji, your eldest grandson is so handsome."
Although Ji Wenqing has always been cold towards Ji Junxing in recent years.
But I still like him deep down, after all, I have spoiled him since he was a child.
"Not like you." After looking at Ji Junxing, Mr. Huang nodded and said with a smile.
Ji Wenqing was just about to make a move, but when he heard this, he said unhappily, "That's enough, I won't make any more moves."
"Don't give up when you're about to lose. If you continue like this, how can we dare to play with you in the future?" Old Huang scolded.
They always say that old children are just old children. When they get outside, all the respected old scholars and seniors can argue for a long time over a game of chess with red faces and thick necks.
What made Ji Wenqing most angry in his life was when others slandered his chess skills.
He said, "Who is going to lose? If I can't win this round, I will listen to you no matter what you say in the future."
Ji Junxing sat quietly beside them, watching the two of them play chess.
Unexpectedly, when the game was over, Ji Wenqing was dumbfounded. He pointed at Mr. Huang and asked, "You, what's wrong with you?"
"I specially hired a young master. Under his guidance, it will be easy for me to beat you." Boss Huang laughed. He is from the south and speaks with a southern accent.
Fortunately, the elderly people saw that Ji Junxing had been waiting, and when the game was over, they all stood up and said goodbye.
Ji Wenqing sat alone in a chair, staring at the chessboard in front of him.
"Grandpa." Ji Junxing shouted.
When Ji Wenqing turned his head to look at him, he snorted slightly, "Why did you think of coming to my place today?"
Ji Junxing chuckled and said, "Let me play a game with you."
When he was a child, Ji Wenqing personally taught him how to play chess. But later, Ji Junxing had something he liked more, and he gradually forgot about playing chess.
Fortunately, he is smart. Even though he didn't continue playing for so many years, he played two games online yesterday.
Now it actually looks quite good.
But after fifty moves, the situation on the chessboard was clear. Ji Wenqing studied hard all the time, and if he was defeated by Ji Junxing, who was just cramming at the last minute, it would be a shame for the chess games he had played in the past few years.
"Go ahead." After Ji Wenqing won a game with great satisfaction and was in a good mood, he glanced at Ji Junxing and asked directly.
Ji Junxing thought for a moment and whispered, "I proposed to Lin Xi."
There were several crisp sounds, which were the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard. Ji Wenqing was collecting the chess pieces, and when he heard this, all the chess pieces in his hand fell onto the chessboard.
He looked up and whispered, "What did you say?"
"I proposed to Lin Xi, and I want to marry her after she graduates."
Ji Junxing firmly told Ji Wenqing his decision.
"Ji Junxing, how old are you now?" Ji Wenqing looked at him seriously. At this moment, he was no longer the naughty old man just now. His face was serious and had the majesty of a superior.
"I'm twenty-one now. In less than two months, I'll be twenty-two."
Ji Wenqing looked at him and suddenly murmured, "Twenty-one years old."
"Do you know how long your life is left?" Ji Wenqing looked at him again.
Ji Junxing understood what his grandfather wanted to say. He whispered, "Grandpa, loving someone and wanting to spend your whole life with her has nothing to do with how old I am. Even if I am young, so what? I loved her when I was twenty, and I will still love her when I am thirty. Why should I wait until I am thirty?"
Ji Wenqing looked at his expression and remembered that when Lin Xi left that year, he was forcibly carried into the hospital.
At that time, Ji Wenqing went to see him. He was lying on the hospital bed, his fair face was sunburned, and his lips were cracked. But the first moment he opened his eyes and saw himself, he called out: Grandpa.
After shouting, he closed his eyes and whispered: Please give Lin Xi back to me.
What did Ji Wenqing say at that time? He said, if she really likes you, she will come back. If she doesn't come back, it means that she cares more about her dignity than she likes you as a person.
Unexpectedly, a year later, the girl came back.
Ji Junxing has been with Lin Xi in the past few years, and Ji Wenqing knows it all.
Ji Xuanheng and Wen Xuan both advised him that Ji Junxing is not Ji Chen, and Lin Xi is not Sui Ran.
Perhaps, he was really old, so old that he had become the stubborn old fogey that Ji Chen described.
However, no one told him that he was an old stubborn person anymore.
"Grandpa." Ji Junxing called softly, and Ji Wenqing finally came back to his senses.
Then, he looked at Ji Junxing and whispered, "Grandpa, have you become an old stubborn person?"
Ji Junxing was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that when he was a child, every time his uncle had a conflict with his grandfather, he would always say angrily, "Your grandfather is an old stubborn man now, let's just ignore him."
He looked at his grandfather, whose hair had turned white, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, Grandpa is an old stubborn man."
When Ji Wenqing heard these words, tears seemed to well up in the corners of his eyes, which had been dry for a long time.
"Grandpa, wouldn't it be nice if I could get married earlier so that you can have a great-grandson? Look at your old friends, who is as lucky as you?"
Ji Junxing, who rarely humbled himself, actually used such words to coax the old man.
Ji Wenqing glared at him and said angrily, "Rare."
But the old man could never have imagined that in the near future, he would be slapped in the face by his own words.
The author has something to say: In the hospital, the old man looked at the little one in the cradle, looking left and right, he was so surprised, so surprised.
Master: Didn’t you say…
Brother Tong: Hush, Master, let's give Grandpa some face.
