Summer Green Apples

After breakfast, Ji Xiwen was about to clear the table when Luo Meixia patted her shoulder and said, "Why don't you take Xiaochi out for a walk? Grandma and your aunt are enough here."

"Ouch." The aunt made a sound that was hard to understand.

Ji Xi nodded obediently, "Okay."

She circled around but didn't see Chi Sui.

"Aunt, where is Chi Sui?"

Ji Rong bent over wiping the coffee table in the living room. "He's chatting with your Uncle Chi inside."

"it is good."

As soon as Ji Xiwen reached the door of Ji Rong's room, she heard Uncle Chi's low, angry roar coming from inside.

"Why am I telling you this? Just focus on your studies. Your mom's getting older, and her mouth's started to grow bigger. She tells you everything... What's the point of telling you? You're just a student..."

Ji Xiwen only heard this one sentence before she wisely left.

Ji Mingli had just gotten up and was eating a box of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) while watching TV.

Ji Xiwen: "Are you going out to play today?"

"I'm not going." Ji Mingli stretched. "I don't go to sleep until four. I'll eat and then go back to sleep."

"Oh well."

Ji Xiwen sat down on the sofa, pondering what fun things there were to do nearby.

Actually, it's not that fun.

This is the village. The most fun thing here is mobile phones, and the most fashionable thing is the small square across the lake. There aren't many people there during the day, but there are a lot of people at night, all doing square dancing.

She had no choice but to take out her phone and send a message to Zhang Cheng.

She usually studies at home during her holidays and rarely goes out, so Zhang Cheng knows more about this.

Zhang Cheng: [Actually, there's nothing really fun, but a murder mystery game store just opened in town, and I was just thinking of asking you to go play today.]

Xi Wu Bu Wen Zhong: [What time are we leaving? I'll bring one more person.]

Zhang Cheng: [Let's go this afternoon; it'll be more crowded then.]

The stream at noon is silent: [Good.]

After finishing breakfast, Ji Mingli went back to lie down. Ji Xiwen had nothing to do, so she followed her to lie down as well.

Knowing that the young master was in a bad mood, she didn't directly provoke him, but instead sent a message.

……

Chi Sui and Chi Kai had a fight.

Although the commotion was not significant, I was completely exhausted.

He controlled his temper, flew back without a plane ticket, and after returning to his room, he noticed an unopened can of Coke on the table. He unscrewed it and drank half of it in one gulp.

Drinking carbonated beverages too quickly can cause a painful sensation on the tongue.

He waited quietly for the sensation on his tongue to fade before taking off his coat, lying down on the bed, and picking up his phone to check...

There are several unread messages.

Xu Jiyang and Li Junyu gossiped in the group chat, asking each other what it felt like to meet the parents.

He was too lazy to reply, so he exited and swiped down, where he saw a message from Ji Xiwen.

Xi Wu Bu Wen Zhong: [Want to play a murder mystery game this afternoon?]

CS: [You guys have murder mystery games here?]

Xi Wu Bu Wen Zhong: [Yeah, it just opened.]

CS: [Where are you?]

Xi Wu Bu Wen Zhong: [It's in that small town we just visited.]

Chi thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

He was so bored here.

……

Around 10 o'clock.

Ji Rong knocked on the door. "Xi Xi, come out. Your parents are at the village entrance."

Ji Xiwen sat up abruptly. "Okay."

The sound of Ji Rong's footsteps receding into the distance could be heard outside again.

Ji Xiwen jumped out of bed, sat down at the dressing table, re-tied her hair, straightened her clothes, and then leaned closer to observe her complexion. "Mingli, do you think I should put on some makeup?"

"No need," Ji Mingli said. "These are your biological parents; there's no need to make such a fuss."

"I'm a little nervous." Ji Xiwen tilted her head and thought for a moment. "The last time I saw them was during the Chinese New Year."

It has been a full ten months.

"This is truly a tragedy." Ji Mingli clicked her tongue and shook her head. "If you were my daughter, I would take you everywhere I go."

Even someone like her, who was spoiled by her parents and had an extremely strong sense of self-esteem, couldn't find fault with Ji Xiwen.

She is pretty, hardworking, and a good student.

"You say that once a year." Ji Xiwen stood up, straightened her pants, and then went out.

Luo Meixia and Ji Tao hadn't seen their eldest son and daughter-in-law for a long time, and the two old people missed them terribly. The whole family waited at the door, just like they had welcomed Chi Kai yesterday.

Chi Sui originally didn't want to come, but Chi Kai dragged him here. He was standing on the far side with his hands in his pockets, looking at the sky and the ground.

After waiting for about two minutes, a tricycle drove up from a distance.

Chi squinted and vaguely saw a family of three sitting behind him.

He then subconsciously looked at Ji Xiwen.

Only the back of his head is visible, so his expression is not discernible.

Ji Xiwen was actually a little confused.

As the tricycle drew closer into view, it grew larger and larger, and the people on it became clearer.

She stood there, stunned.

Seeing his uncle and grandmother come forward, the younger brother Ji Feiran was the first to jump down.

He wore a stylish jacket and sneakers, and his hairstyle was quite different from the other children in the village. Or perhaps it wasn't his hairstyle, but rather his overall demeanor.

He was born in Beijing.

For him, Jijiacun was not home, but a resort area that was refreshed every year. He would stay for a few days, enjoy the pampering of his grandparents and sister, and then quickly return.

He had a sweet tongue, saying, "Grandpa, Grandma, I miss you."

"Oh, Ranran is such a good girl."

One sentence made the two elderly people very happy.

Luo Meixia quickly took out a lollipop from her pocket and gave it to him, saying, "Come on, have some candy."

Ji Feiran didn't dare to answer and subconsciously looked at her mother.
