Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye Ji Yuqiao finished the school math competition.

Before the class bell rang and the teacher arrived, Ji Yuqiao was already craning his neck to look outside impatiently.

"Yu Qiao, did you hear what I said to you?" Her roommate pushed her.

"Ah, were you talking to me just now?" Ji Yuqiao said with a hint of apology on her face, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention. Could you please say it again?"

Seeing her serious expression, her roommate smiled awkwardly, "It's not really an important matter..."

The roommate paused, then whispered in her ear mysteriously, "I heard from others that Senior Xiao Yu seemed to have offended someone, and his studio, which was once doing well, is now about to close down."

Although she knew that Ji Yuqiao no longer had any interest in Xiao Yu, she still couldn't help but tell him some gossip.

When Ji Yuqiao heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Offending anyone?

For some reason, the figures of Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu flashed through her mind.

But no matter what, she would not interfere in Xiao Yu's affairs anymore.

Ji Yuqiao responded briefly and continued to look towards the classroom door.

Seeing that she looked calm and didn't want to continue the topic, her roommate didn't want to continue gossiping and changed the subject, "What are you looking at?"

From the moment she entered the classroom, she looked eagerly expectant.

At this point, Ji Yuqiao's expression finally changed, with a hint of excitement in her eyes, "Didn't I participate in a math competition before? The teacher said that he would bring the certificate to me during the class later."

Just imagining the scene of her mother seeing her win first place, touching her head and praising her intelligence, she felt a warm current flowing through her heart and her whole body felt warm.

Just as Ji Yuqiao was looking anxiously, the teacher came slowly.

"Student Ji Yuqiao has made great progress recently and studies very hard in class. Everyone should follow her example." The teacher praised Ji Yuqiao in front of the classmates and handed her the certificate.

Ji Yuqiao held up the certificate for winning first place in her hand and smiled brightly.

Although it's just an intra-school competition, the word "first place" always makes people happy both physically and mentally.

Ji Yuqiao came back from school. As soon as she pushed the door open, she shouted happily to the room, "Mom, I got first place in the exam! Come and have a look..."

"Shh." Ji Zeqiu, who was sitting on the sofa, put his index finger on his lips, signaling her to be quiet, "Mother is asleep."

He pointed at Lin Xu who was sleeping on the sofa. She was leaning on the sofa with her eyes closed, her fair face looking peaceful.

She was covered with a thin blanket, and no one knew what she was dreaming about. Even when she fell asleep, her brows were tightly furrowed and she did not sleep well.

Lin Xu moved her body, and her head slid off the sofa and landed squarely on Ji Tingyang's shoulder.

Ji Tingyang reached out and gathered the thin blanket around her, and the corners of his lips slightly raised on his stern face.

Seeing this, Ji Zeqiu felt a little unhappy and gently pulled Lin Xu back to his side.

Looking at Lin Xu leaning on his shoulder, Ji Zeqiu's anger finally subsided. He squinted his eyes and curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

He looked at Ji Tingyang with a bit of pride in his eyes, "Didn't you say you were going to make a phone call? I'll just look after mother, you can go."

"The phone call is not urgent. But you, don't you have to go to work? I will take care of my mother." Ji Tingyang put Lin Xu's head back on his shoulder.

"I'm not in a hurry to work." Ji Zeqiu pulled Lin Xu back to his side again.

Ji Tingyang glanced at him, his face turned cold, and he took Lin Xu's hand.

Ji Zeqiu also held Lin Xu tightly.

"Let go, let go. You're going to wake up your mother!" Ji Yuqiao slapped each of them angrily.

Hearing her words, the two brothers froze in place and looked towards Lin Xu cautiously.

I saw her eyelids move, as if she was disturbed by them and she seemed to be waking up at any moment.

However, neither of them was willing to let go first.

"Let go of me now. You're about to wake up your mother." Ji Zeqiu said coldly.

"It was you who woke me up. Mother was clearly leaning on me." Ji Tingyang said coldly.

Just at this moment, Xie Changyan, who had just finished his temporary work, came down from the second floor and raised his brows slightly when he saw their argument.

He walked over and picked up Lin Xu in front of the two of them.

Lin Xu noticed the movement and opened his eyes dazedly.

"Go back to sleep, I'll carry you back to the room." Xie Changyan's voice was very soft.

Lin Xu responded vaguely, rubbed her head against his neck, and closed her eyes again.

Xie Changyan raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly.

Watching the interaction between the two, Ji Yuqiao's eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement.

Thinking about the couples that her classmates were supporting online, they kept discussing which couple was real, but she felt that no matter which couple it was, none was as real as her parents.

Seeing Xie Changyan carrying Lin Xu upstairs, the brothers' faces suddenly darkened, and they even subconsciously wanted to go up and snatch Lin Xu back.

Ji Yuqiao opened her arms to stop them and said angrily, "Don't disturb father and mother!"

Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu were stunned for a moment, and seemed to remember that Xie Changyan was their father, and they stopped what they were doing.

The two looked at each other silently, then snorted coldly and looked away.

Ji Tingyang pursed his lips, and finally remembered the call that was put on hold, "I'll make a call."

"He is not the father." Ji Zeqiu retorted in a low voice, but still gave up the urge to snatch his mother back.

He grabbed a handful of hair in annoyance, turned around and walked out, "Forget it, I have to go to the announcement."

……

The longer Lin Xu and Xie Changyan spend together, the more urgent Xie Mingwang becomes in urging them to get married.

As it was hopeless to urge his grandson to get married, he found a time to call the three siblings of the Ji family to discuss the matter together.

"You've been together for so long. Even if you don't want to get married yet, shouldn't you get engaged first?" Xie Mingwang looked at the people around him, "What do you think?"

"There's no rush about getting engaged." Ji Tingyang's expression was a little stiff.

Ji Zeqiu coughed and agreed, "They are still young."

Xie Mingwang showed displeasure. He had thought that since the Ji family were Lin Xu's relatives, he should ask them to persuade them. He did not expect that these two juniors would go against him one by one.

"Little sister, what do you think?" Xie Mingwang looked at Ji Yuqiao with a smile again.

Ji Yuqiao of course raised both hands in agreement, "I agree!"

As long as his father and mother get engaged, Xie Changyan can return to the Ji family and live with them.

Xie Mingwang's expression immediately turned from gloomy to bright, "Then it's settled, we'll get engaged next week."

Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu:?
