Ji Guanxin answered the phone with his back to me. With just a small movement, I guessed that the person on the other end of the phone was someone he didn't really want me to know.
After a few seconds, he said, "What's going on?"
I stared at his back, but he never meant to turn around. After a while, he said, "Really? Okay, then I'll fly there tomorrow, not today."
"Well, okay, I'm done eating, we'll talk about it later." Ji Guanxin hung up the phone and put it on the coffee table.
When he turned around, I asked him, "What's wrong?"
With a faint smile on his face, Ji Guanxin replied to me: "My second sister-in-law gave birth to a baby and asked me to come over and take a look."
This surprised me. I raised my eyebrows and said, "Boy or girl?"
Ji Guanxin was stunned for a moment, then replied to me: "I don't know, I forgot to ask."
I said speechlessly: "Is there anyone who can be a second uncle like you?"
Ji Guanxin smiled and replied: "My second brother and sister-in-law live in Canada all year round and come back only once a year. I don't even know when she got pregnant."
I said, "Then you will fly to Canada tomorrow?"
"Well, my family asked me to come over and have a look. By the way, are you going?" Ji Guanxin asked me while picking up a piece of chicken with chopsticks.
I instinctively said: "Of course I won't go." After saying that, I felt that this sentence was easy for him to misunderstand, so I quickly explained, "I have to go to work tomorrow, and your second sister-in-law has given birth to a baby and is still abroad. It’s not good to rush past this.”
Ji Guanxin looked at me with his big single eyelids and said with a smile: "You are the third aunt of the child. There was nothing wrong with me in the past."
I curled my lips and said in a low voice: "Forget it, this is a big deal for your family, so I won't get involved."
Ji Guanxin said: "I knew you wouldn't go, so I wouldn't force you."
We sat at the dining table to eat, and during the dinner I discussed with him: "I won't go with you, but your second sister-in-law has a baby, and I have to make a backup gift. Can you go shopping with me later?"
Ji Guanxin was only focused on eating chicken. Hearing this, he vaguely replied to me: "Go, just to see what you are missing."
I said, "I don't lack anything."
Ji Guanxin said: "A woman's wardrobe and shoe cabinet are always short of a piece of clothing and a pair of shoes. I have never seen a woman who is not enthusiastic about this. You never ask me for anything."
I quickly grabbed his tail, raised my eyes and asked him: "How many women have asked you for something?"
Ji Guanxin responded quickly. He immediately replied to me: "Don't come here. I'm talking about the women around me, my mother, my sister, my elder sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law. Don't think about other places."
I hummed, "The devil knows."
Ji Guanxin said: "How about I give you the main card and I use the secondary card, and you can see where I swiped and how much I paid for it, how about that?"
I said, "Okay."
Ji Guanxin immediately got up and walked to the bedroom. After a while, he turned back, slapped his wallet on the dining table, and then said: "I'm going to Canada tomorrow and I'll probably be back in two or three days. Please give me a secondary card." That’s it, the rest is yours.”
I didn't expect him to be so serious, so I had to smile and say, "Okay, I'm just kidding."
Ji Guanxin replied to me seriously: "Do you see me smiling?"
The two of us chatted while eating, and the meal lasted almost an hour. I prepared a bowl for him just for chicken bones, and he vomited the whole bowl.
I said to him: "You really count weasels."
Ji Guanxin touched his still flat belly and said with satisfaction: "It would be great if you could cook for me every day."
I said, "What delicious food can't you eat outside? You came to my place to get some food."
Ji Guanxin said: "I really want to get tired of you all day long, you are busier than me."
I took the dishes to the kitchen and said while washing the dishes: "Go and clean up. After I finish washing, let's go shopping."
Ji Guanxin is a weasel, but his habits are more like that of a koala, wanting to sleep all day long. While I was washing the dishes, the old man had already turned around and returned to the bedroom, and was already drowsy.
It took a lot of effort for me to drag him up from the bed. No, to be clear, I was "losing my power and humiliating the country" and promised him that he could sleep at my place tonight. Then he reluctantly agreed to accompany me to go shopping.
His car was parked downstairs. After we got in the car, he said to me, "I'm leaving Night City for a few days. Will you miss me?"
I looked sideways at the window and replied like a child, "Yes."
"I really want to take you with me."
I replied to him with a faint smile: "Don't be pretentious, you won't be gone for a few months."
Ji Guanxin said: "But if I can't see you for a day, I feel panic in my heart."
I asked: "What are you doing? Are you afraid that I will run away?"
Ji Guanxin said half-truthfully, "Don't tell me it's true."
Hearing this, I turned my head and glared at him.
The smile on Ji Guanxin's face widened: "But I will ask people to keep an eye on you."
I thought he was just teasing me and didn't take it seriously at all.
The two of us drove to the city center. There are several large shopping malls here and are surrounded by commercial streets. Ji Guanxin first accompanied me into the mall and we looked around. He asked me what I wanted to buy. In fact, I didn’t know. After all, it was my first time to give something to a newborn child.
I also counted on Ji Guanxin to help me come up with ideas, but who would have thought that he would directly drag me into Loewe’s flagship store, choose several sets of leather jackets of different lengths for himself, and also choose several sets for me.
I whispered to him: "Can we get down to business?"
Ji Guanxin said: "Didn't you say that my coat looks good before? It belongs to him. It's a pity that the one you like doesn't have a women's version."
I said, "I was just talking casually."
Ji Guanxin said: "I just buy whatever I want."
Loewe's items are luxury goods. When I looked at the five-digit numbers on the tags, and they didn't start with small numbers like two or three, I felt distressed in my heart.
But the things Ji Guanxin buys here are just like when I go shopping now, they are passable at best.
When checking out, Ji Guanxin swiped his card, left my address, and asked the clerk to pack it up and send it over.
When we were going out, I turned my head and said to him: "Don't buy any more from us later. Give it to your second brother and second sister-in-law's child quickly..."
Before I finished speaking, I heard a woman's voice: "Brother Xin?"
Ji Guanxin and I went out at the same time and saw two fashionably dressed young women standing not far from the entrance of Loewe.
One of them looked very familiar to me.
When Ji Guanxin saw the two of them, the corners of his lips curled up slightly and he said, "Hey, you guys."
Two women walked over on high heels and glanced at my face without exception.
One of the women with short hair said, "Brother Xin, are you going shopping with your new girlfriend?"
When I heard this, I was like, huh
Sure enough, Ji Guanxin frowned and said, "Can you speak?"
The woman smiled half-heartedly: "Are you just kidding? You can't even make a joke?"
Ji Guanxin said: "If you don't go to school and go shopping, if I don't tell your principal later, I will have to ask your father to donate two more libraries."
The woman raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother Xin, are you stupid in the gentle village? Who are you going to sue on this Sunday?"
When Ji Guanxin was feeling frustrated, he gave her a brief teasing and quickly said, "Don't let me see your family, otherwise I have to have a good chat with them and tell them what you did outside."
The woman immediately made a 'cut' sound, and then said: "By the way, Brother Xin, Mengyi is sick, why didn't you go see her?"
Mentioning Zhou Mengyi, I finally suddenly realized. No wonder the people around the short-haired woman look familiar to me. Zhou Mengyi brought people to Luo's to fight with me, and she was one of them.
The woman wearing colored contact lenses looked away unnaturally when she saw me staring at her, which made me feel even more confident.
Suddenly, Ji Guanxin had exchanged a few words with the short-haired woman. He said, "I didn't know she was sick, and she didn't tell me."
The short-haired woman said angrily: "Now you value sex over friends. When you have a new love, you forget about the old love. How can you remember Mengyi? Mengyi called me last night and said you were cruel and stopped seeing her. Woolen cloth."
Ji Guanxin said, his first reaction was to secretly look at my face.
In fact, I'm okay, because I know that if there was anything between Ji Guanxin and Zhou Mengyi, I wouldn't wait until now. From the first time I saw Zhou Mengyi, I knew she was a big-breasted and brainless person.
I didn't say a word, but Ji Guanxin scolded him softly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you just looking for trouble?"
When the short-haired woman saw this, the pride and provocation on her face disappeared, replaced by unconcealable embarrassment. She pursed her lips and whispered: "I can't even make a joke..."
Ji Guanxin said: "Come on, let's go and stay somewhere cool."
After saying that, he took me and left.
The woman raised her voice behind Ji Guanxin and asked, "Hey, don't forget to check on Mengyi. She is really sick."
Ji Guanxin didn't even look back.
The two of us walked out for more than 20 meters. I glanced sideways at Ji Guanxin and said, "Do you want to take a look at Zhou Mengyi?"
Ji Guanxin looked forward and quickly replied to me: "What are you looking at her for?"
I said, "Isn't she sick?"
Ji Guanxin said: "Aren't you angry if I go to see her?"
I immediately laughed and replied loudly: "You think I'm jealous of you?"
Ji Guanxin glanced at me sideways, without smiling, but said directly: "Normally speaking, you know what Zhou Mengyi thinks about me, so you just don't want to prevent me from seeing her, and you are urging me to come to her door... "
With a hint of displeasure in his eyes, he asked: "What on earth do you think?"
I'm not sure whether Ji Guanxin is really falling out or pretending to be falling out, but I always think in my heart that he won't be unhappy because of this little thing, right
So the smile on my face didn't stay or leave for a while. I hesitated for a moment, and then I replied: "Don't you think of her as your sister? Since you are open-minded in your heart, why should you be afraid of other people's random thoughts?" ?”
I speak from my heart, but I don’t know what Ji Guanxin is thinking.
He didn't lose his temper with me and continued to go shopping with me, but he talked less afterwards. I was a little helpless and wanted to explain to him, but I didn't know where to start. After much deliberation, I decided to forget it.
