Maybe it was because Lu Yao wouldn't remain silent after being knocked down by him like this, or maybe it was because the touch felt wrong. No matter what the reason is. Ji Guanxin opened his eyes instinctively.
His arms were still around Xia Sheng's waist. There was only a thin quilt between them, and her face was almost touching his.
The two looked at each other. Xia Shengyi opened his big eyes. He looked straight at Ji Guanxin; Ji Guanxin did not react immediately because he was too close. He paused for two or three seconds, and then his expression suddenly changed. Teng suddenly sat up from his bed.
He was really frightened. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xia Shengyi lying next to him...
If it weren't for the fact that there were some spaces behind him. With such a big reaction from him. It probably fell under the bed.
It's just that he's not doing much better now. He wanted to get out of bed, but he had no clothes on, and most of Xia Shengyi's body was still lying on his side. This scene can only be seen by a third person. That is also something extraordinary.
I can't get out of bed or get out of bed. Ji Guanxin's fair face turned red with shock.
"what are you doing?!"
This was the first thing Ji Guanxin said to Xia Shengyi.
Xia Shengyi held up his arms. From **... What is clear is that he climbed down from Ji Guanxin.
She stood beside the bed. He also had a look of astonishment on his face, and after a few seconds he whispered: "It's time to eat, I'll come over and call you..."
Ji Guanxin frowned and said, "Why don't you say anything?"
Xia Shengyi said: "I was afraid of scaring you. I just walked over and before I could say anything..."
Ji Guanxin was really shocked, but he thought that he had done it himself, and that it was fair to say, and he was a little embarrassed. After all, he had such a relationship with Xia Shengyi.
So he took a strong breath, reached out and pulled the quilt that fell around his waist upward.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he tried to think that what just happened was just an accident. Opening his thin lips, he asked aloud: "Where is your aunt?"
Xia Sheng immediately replied: "Oh, sister is making salad downstairs. Come down quickly. Both grandmas have been awake for a long time."
Ji Guanxin responded, and then said: "You go out first."
Xia Shengyi asked, "Then don't fall asleep again, we are waiting for you."
Seeing Xia Shengyi walking out, Ji Guanxin gradually breathed a sigh of relief. He was really scared to death just now. Sure enough, he was so used to Lu Yao being the only woman in his house. Whenever there were two more people, he would feel uncomfortable. He quickly finished his meal and sent Xia Shengyi away. She was already quite an older girl, so it was inconvenient to live with him.
Lu Yao was making vegetable salad downstairs. After making it, Xia Shengyi came over after taking a shower. The two set the plates together, and then called Meng Cenpei and Du Hui to come over for dinner.
Du Hui praised Xia Shengyi for cooking chef-level food. Xia Shengyi smiled and said, "Thanks to my sister for helping me."
Lu Yao didn't dare to take credit and said hurriedly: "I really couldn't help you today. I overslept."
As they were talking, Ji Guanxin changed into light-colored home clothes, opened the door and walked in. He said, "If Yaoyao hadn't slept, I would be in a good mood today."
Meng Cenpei touched Ji Guanxin's arm lovingly and said with a smile: "No wonder you have gained some weight recently. Is it because Yaoyao cooks for you every day and makes you fat?"
Ji Guanxin smiled and replied: "Our short-term goal is to make each other fat."
While talking, the five people took their seats. All the dishes on the table were cooked by Xia Shengyi alone. Meng Cenpei and Du Hui both expressed their gratitude. Lu Yao also smiled and said that it was thanks to Xia Shengyi's help.
Xia Shengyi said: "I don't know if it suits your taste. If it's too salty or bland, don't say anything about me later."
Everyone moved their chopsticks, and everyone who ate the food nodded and said it was delicious.
Ji Guanxin took a bite of salted crispy chicken, and Xia Sheng looked at him with eager eyes, "Uncle, how are you doing?"
Ji Guanxin nodded casually, "It's okay."
Xia Shengyi pursed his lips and whispered, "Is it okay?"
Lu Yao smiled and said: "He is like a fox. He loves chicken the most. Don't look at him saying it's okay. You'll know how much he eats later."
Xia Sheng smiled, looked at Ji Guanxin and said, "Uncle, then you eat more, I made this dish just for you."
She knew all of Ji Guanxin's preferences, and of course she would not ignore his love of eating chicken.
The other three women on the table were all the same, but Ji Guanxin took these words to heart. He glanced at Lu Yao without any trace, but when he saw that her expression was unchanged, he felt a little more relaxed.
Lu Yao's emotional intelligence in love is completely out of proportion to her IQ. Or maybe she did regard Xia Shengyi as Ji Guanxin's niece, so she didn't regard her as an adult woman at all.
But what happened upstairs just made Ji Guanxin feel more strange.
It stands to reason that he and Xia Shengyi have not seen each other for so many years. Even if Xia Shengyi is outgoing, he will not be so happy when seeing him, and he always likes to walk holding his arm.
No one around him had ever encountered this kind of situation. Ji Guanxin was not sure if this was a normal phenomenon. Anyway, he felt uncomfortable.
Just as he was thinking about it, he raised his eyes and saw Xia Shengyi picking up food for Lu Yao and smiling at Lu Yao. Lu Yao also gave a sincere smile in return.
Ji Guanxin lowered his gaze, his eyelashes covering the faint suspicion under his eyes.
In the middle of the meal, it suddenly started raining heavily outside. At first, I thought it was just a shower, but the rain became more and more intense. By the time dinner was over, it not only showed no intention of stopping, but intensified.
I originally planned to send a few people back after dinner, but now because of the rain, they can only sit on the sofa in the living room and chat.
Meng Cenpei and Du Hui have been chatting all afternoon. In fact, there is nothing much to talk about. It is not convenient to talk about things that are too private. Ji Guanxin and Lu Yao have almost talked about it. As everyone was running out of words to talk to, Ji Guanxin pulled out a deck of cards from nowhere. A deck of cards was not enough for five people to play, so they invited Lu Yao and Xia Shengyi to join them, and the three of them fought against the landlord.
Lu Yao didn't have many opportunities to play cards. Only occasionally would she play a game with Zhan Bai and Xu Yingjia. Xia Shengyi didn't know how to play, so Lu Yao now taught her the rules.
As for Ji Guanxin, he is an old fox. He could defeat them both with his eyes closed.
The three of them were playing cards to kill time, hoping to wait for the rain to subside so they could send them back.
As a result, except for the first few games, when Xia Shengyi lost miserably because he was not very familiar with the rules, in the following period, Lu Yao was the one losing.
Meng Cenpei and Du Hui both politely praised Xia Shengyi for being smart. Xia Shengyi smiled and said, "My uncle and sister let me go."
Lu Yao is a real person, she replied truthfully: "I am not as good as Shengyi."
Ji Guanxin remained calm, but after he got the cards, he secretly calculated what Lu Yao had taken and what Xia Shengyi had taken. He deliberately protected Lu Yao and hit Xia Shengyi without mercy.
Lu Yao won five games in a row. She could see that Ji Guanxin was helping her, so the eyes that occasionally glanced at him were full of smiles and tenderness.
Ji Guanxin would also give her a look that made her blush and her heart beat beat, as if to say, I will help you now, but you have to return it in the evening.
Xia Shengyi was not blind. Seeing Ji Guanxin and Lu Yao flirting with each other, she felt more and more unbalanced.
So when Ji Guanxin helped Lu Yao hit her again, she suddenly held her mouth and said to Meng Cenpei: "Grandma, see if this card can still be played?"
Meng Cenpei was chatting with Du Hui just now. She didn't see what happened here for a while. When she heard this, she turned her head and looked over, and asked with a slight smile: "What's wrong?"
Xia Sheng replied angrily: "My uncle always helps my sister to bully me."
Lu Yao's face turned red. It felt like two adults teaming up to bully a child. This time I even asked someone to report it, which was naturally embarrassing.
Meng Cenpei smiled and said to Xia Shengyi: "I can't control this. Who let the two of them be together?"
Xia Shengyi snorted, making it clear that he was unhappy after a night of boredom.
Du Hui smiled at the side and said: "Yao Yao, if your poker skills are not good, don't bring Guan Xin with you to bully others."
Lu Yao whispered back: "I told him to stop doing this..."
Ji Guanxin said calmly: "I can't just watch my wife being bullied, right?"
See what he said? And in front of Meng Cenpei and Du Hui.
Lu Yao couldn't help but stretched out her hand to push his leg, and Ji Guanxin immediately laughed.
Throwing the cards on the coffee table, he took Lu Yao's hand and said, "Okay, no more playing."
Meng Cenpei glanced at the time and said, "Yes, it's getting late."
Du Hui said: "It's raining outside. Sister Pei and Shengyi will stay here tonight. I have to go back."
Meng Cenpei said: "No, it's so late. You can stay here. Why are you going back?"
Du Hui couldn't say. With Zhou Wanping and Jian Beibei having such a quarrel today, Jian Hongfeng, who was working out of town, was probably coming back soon. If she stayed here and couldn't go home, the family might be in trouble.
"I still have some unfinished business at home. I have to go back. Sister Pei can stay in Night City for a few days. Let's find time to get together again." ℃≡miào℃≡bi℃≡ge℃≡
While talking, Du Hui had already stood up.
Lu Yao and Ji Guanxin also stood up. Seeing that Du Hui insisted on leaving, Meng Cenpei said: "Guanxin, please send your aunt back. Then Sheng Yi and I will leave too, otherwise you and Yaoyao will not be able to leave while we are here." Not good at rest.”
Lu Yao persuaded Meng Cenpei to stay here and asked her to stay here. Meng Cenpei took Lu Yao's hand and said with a smile: "Let's go out to eat together tomorrow. You are tired today, so take a good rest."
Ji Guanxin said out loud, "It's okay, I'll save you guys from sleeping here." He asked Lu Yao to go to the storage room to get an umbrella, and Lu Yao went there obediently.
Several people went downstairs together. Ji Guanxin drove the car over first, and then Lu Yao helped them hold an umbrella and let Meng Cenpei, Du Hui and Xia Shengyi sit in the back seat.
Xia Shengyi didn't know when he had a bag in his hand, but Meng Cenpei just asked casually: "What did you get?"
Xia Sheng said 'oh' and replied: "My uncle took me to the hospital at noon. His clothes were stained by me. I took them back and washed them."
