come to my office after get off work

The night was still quiet, neither of them was sleepy, they were lying on the bed in a daze.

The moon outside the window disappeared at some point, and the room was pitch black.

"The house will have to be redecorated after a while," Jiang Shu said.

"Don't worry." Ji Lianxing put her hand on Jiang Shu's body, her fingertips touched her smooth skin, and finally her palm stuck to it, and she didn't move anymore.

"I plan to move into the newly renovated house before the New Year."

Hearing the anxiety in her words, Ji Lianxing also responded: "Also, tell me what style of decoration you like, and then I'll contact the designer."

"It's good to be simple, I don't have any special requirements." Jiang Shu thought for a while, and then said, "Do you have any new ideas?"

"No, I'll just ask casually." Ji Lianxing quickly changed the topic, but Jiang Shu didn't take it to heart.

As the night grew darker, the two of them chatted here and there, and gradually became drowsy, and soon fell asleep with their arms around each other...

The next morning, on a working day, Ji Lianxing and Jiang Shu still had to go to work, but they were too tired last night and wanted to rest for a while, so they took a leave of absence.

When Ji Lianxing woke up, Jiang Shu was still sleeping, she didn't bother, she just watched Jiang Shu's sleeping face quietly.

Jiang Shu is very well-behaved when she sleeps. She has been taking good care of herself. In recent years, she has spent a lot of money on anti-aging and anti-wrinkle, so the effect is obvious. There are almost no wrinkles on the face, except that the contour of the face is thinner, which is similar to that of the university. Time makes no difference.

When she breathed, she made a shallow sound, and when she fell asleep, she carried a little bit of childishness, as if that was her original appearance.

Ji Lianxing was fascinated by it, stretched out his hand to touch her eyebrows, rubbed her fingertips lightly, and described her appearance, but he didn't dare to move too much, lest he disturb her sweet dreams.

Following the rhythm of Jiang Shu's breathing, Ji Lianxing felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, and she soon realized that living with Jiang Shu was happier than she imagined.

It's just such a simple thing as watching her sleep, Ji Lianxing feels that he can watch her all day long.

As soon as this idea came to her mind, even Ji Lianxing shuddered. She felt that she was not much different from Jiang Shu in terms of being tired, but Jiang Shu was sometimes better at expressing.

After looking at it for a while, Ji Lianxing heard a small sound outside the door, as if someone was standing outside the door, but did not knock on the door.

Ji Lianxing listened quietly, and soon heard someone knocking on the door, but the knocking was very soft, as if to test.

It's 100% Jiang Xiaotan, Ji Lianxing can imagine her submissive look standing at the door through a door.

Sure enough, not long after, the door was knocked heavily, and Jiang Xiaotan's voice came:

"Shushu, sister, do you have breakfast?"

Jiang Shu frowned, trying to open his eyes but didn't.Ji Lianxing covered her ears with her hands, and said to the people outside the door: "Xiao Tan, you and grandpa and grandma will eat first."

Jiang Xiaotan said "Oh", the sound of da da da footsteps gradually faded away, Ji Lianxing heard the sound of pots and pans downstairs again, superimposed with Jiang Xiaotan's childish "They will eat later" ".

She hugged Jiang Shu and fell asleep for a while.

The morning sun climbed up and climbed over the roof. Today is a rare sunny day.

Jiang Shu and Ji Lianxing didn't get up until 10:30. At that time, the sun shone through the tulle curtains, and the light fell on the floor, making the room warm.

When he opened his eyes, the scene in front of him pulled Jiang Shu back from the dream, and then he saw Ji Lianxing, who just woke up, and the eyes of the two intertwined.

"Are you awake?" Ji Lianxing smiled, her voice was lazy, she stretched like a cat.

"Yes, good morning baby." Jiang Shu lowered his head and kissed Ji Lianxing's face.

Ji Lianxing squinted her eyes, as if enjoying such an intimate gesture, "It's getting late, it should be noon now, Xiao Tan was still calling us to eat just now, and you are still sleeping."

"So she really came to call us." Jiang Shu straightened up and straightened his hair, "I thought I was dreaming."

The two of them didn't linger on the bed, they put on their clothes and got up quickly. When they went downstairs, the house was very quiet. They didn't hear Jiang Xiaotan's noisy voice, so they probably went to play in the yard.

There is also breakfast on the table on the first floor, healthy whole wheat bread with milk, and sliced ​​fruit.I have to say that the two elders are really caring. At this point, Ji Lianxing feels that family has a great influence on a person.

She remembered that Jiang Shu treated her like this a lot of times, and she could have her breakfast when she woke up in the morning, just like Zhou Xuelan and Jiang Yidong.

"Go and sit down, I'll warm it up."

"No." Ji Lianxing asked Jiang Shu to sit down, and said, "Let me do it, your hands are not convenient."

Jiang Shu wanted to heat it up, but Ji Lianxing slammed him down on the stool, "Sit obediently, obediently, just open your mouth and eat."

The microwave oven hummed quickly, Ji Lianxing leaned against the kitchen counter, leaned back slightly, folded his hands, one leg rested on the other randomly, looking slim and tall.

Even during this spare time, the two had to look at each other, and even the air became sticky.

The corners of Jiang Shu's lips couldn't stop rising, and he asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"I like to watch. Then why are you looking at me?"

"I like to see you too, what's the matter?"

The microwave "ding" sounded, Ji Lianxing turned to get the heated toast and milk, breakfast was served soon, and the two began to eat.

After a while, the door opened, and Jiang Xiaotan came back with his hands full of mud.

"Ah! You finally woke up! What are you eating? I want to eat too!" Jiang Xiaotan ran towards this side dirty, Jiang Shu made a stop gesture to make her stop, "Go to the toilet and wash your hands first .”

"Grandpa and grandma said that we will have lunch in an hour. You can eat less and save some for me." Jiang Xiaotan went to the toilet to wash his hands without stopping.

Jiang Shu was amused by her, looked at Jiang Xiaotan's back, and said with a smile: "Is it she who said to leave some food for her?"

Here, Jiang Xiaotan quickly washed his hands, and ran out to ask Jiang Shu to give her a piece of toast. The little guy sat on the stool and ate happily. While eating, he did not forget to say:

"Shushu, sister, did you hear the cat meowing last night?"

Ji Lianxing was confused, "Huh? What is the cat's name?"

They stayed up late last night, but they didn't hear any cat meowing.

"It's just the sound of humming, humming." Jiang Xiaotan thought about it carefully, and added: "I don't know, it's a bit like a cat, and it's a bit like a bird. I can't tell what the sound is, one after another. of."

"Ahem——" Jiang Shu successfully choked on the milk.She went to see Ji Lianxing, and found that Ji Lianxing's face was too red.

"So did you hear that?" Jiang Xiaotan asked again.

"No...you must have heard it wrong." Jiang Shu wiped his mouth with a piece of paper, without changing his expression.

"Okay, I must have heard it wrong. I just asked my grandparents, and they said they didn't hear it."

Jiang Shu heaved a sigh of relief, Jiang Xiaotan lived on the second floor, Jiang Yidong and Zhou Xuelan lived on the first floor, and her room was on the third floor, so separated by the first floor, there should be no sound.

On the other hand, Ji Lianxing blushed, didn't speak the whole time, and even blamed herself a bit. She and Jiang Shu should have restrained a little last night even though they had already known that the sound insulation was not good.

Jiang Xiaotan didn't feel at ease at all, in her world it should be meowing, after all, she didn't hear it too clearly.

After breakfast, Jiang Shu took Ji Lianxing to the backyard.

The backyard is Jiang Xiaotan's paradise, because Jiang Yidong and Zhou Xuelan like to plant flowers and trees, and they have everything.

When Ji Lianxing and the others went, Jiang Yidong and Zhou Xuelan were still planting sugar oranges.

"If it is planted well, it will probably bear fruit in the next year or two." Jiang Yidong said cheerfully.

"Yeah! There are oranges to eat!" Jiang Xiaotan stood aside and applauded.

Jiang Shu laughed at her: "I just know how to eat."

"Uncle, let me do it." Seeing Jiang Yidong supporting his waist, she must be a little tired.

Ji Lianxing went to help. She took the sapling, dug a nest and planted it, and then dug the soil and fertilized it. The action was done in one go.

"Eh? How are you so proficient?"

"I used to live in the countryside and planted this."

Zhou Xuelan stood aside and said with a smile: "He is really a capable little boy." There was an unconcealable liking in the words, and it was full of the elders' love for the younger generation.

Hearing "little darling", Ji Lianxing's heart trembled slightly. Her mother used to call her that, and she hasn't heard this word for a long, long time.

She took a peek at Zhou Xuelan, and found that she had a smile on her lips, quite gentle and kind.

Suddenly, I felt that the distance between Zhou Xuelan and Zhou Xuelan was getting closer. Although I didn’t do anything, the magnetic field between people is like this. It’s very strange. Sometimes details can determine many things, and sincere emotions don’t need to be deliberately emphasized. Ji Lianxing can I feel that they really treat her as a family member, not just talking about it.

At this point, Ji Lianxing was really moved.

After planting the tangerines, everyone went into the house to rest.

When it was lunch time, Zhou Xuelan and Jiang Yidong said they would make delicious food for Ji Lianxing, and they also said that they had asked Jiang Shu what she liked to eat.

"Uncle and aunt, how about I come cook!"

"Ham, just leave it to us, you come back after a long time, and play with you."

Jiang Xiaotan also pulled Ji Lianxing to prevent her from leaving, "Sister, play with me for a while!"

Respect is worse than obedience, so Ji Lianxing had no choice but to agree, and sat on the sofa to play with Jiang Xiaotan, and Jiang Shu also joined in.

While they were having fun, a call came in from an unfamiliar number.

Ji Lianxing picked up the phone and glanced at it, then frowned at that moment and didn't answer it for a long time.

"What's wrong? Who is it?" Jiang Shu saw that something was wrong with her.

"I don't know." Ji Lianxing vaguely had a bad feeling, "The caller ID is the number from my hometown."

Obviously, apart from Ji Siyu and Wang Xiaoli in her hometown, no one else could look for her again.Ji Lianxing hesitated a little, "I don't want to take it."

Jiang Shu was also stunned for a moment, she had the impression that Ji Lianxing's two relatives were not very reliable, when Ji Siyu said that, it was like selling his sister, he was purely a money-seeking person.

"Then don't accept it."

The phone here rang several times before hanging up automatically, but the owner who dialed the phone over there didn't seem to give up, and quickly made a second call.

Ji Lianxing directly clicked to hang up this time, but unexpectedly sent another text message over there:

【I'm Wang Xiaoli, you must answer the phone, otherwise you will be sorry to your uncle for the rest of your life. 】

Sure enough, it was an old routine again, a usual trick, moral kidnapping was always her best weapon, and she used uncle to speak for everything.

Soon Wang Xiaoli called again, and Ji Lianxing was a little annoyed, but this time he had to answer it, and he had to answer it if he didn't.

She clicked on, but said nothing.

Wang Xiaoli was also silent for a while, and said after a long time: "Come back sometime."

Her tone was like a pool of stagnant water, like a mouse rotting in a stinky ditch, already dead, Ji Lianxing felt something was wrong even through the phone call.

Even though she hadn't contacted her for so many years, she still knew Wang Xiaoli well. Strong, snobbish, selfish, narrow-minded...these words can all be used for her.

But at this moment, Ji Lianxing smelled a smell of "her soul is dead".

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Lianxing still couldn't help asking.

"I need some money."

Ji Lianxing frowned, "I won't give you money, if you want money, you should go to Ji Siyu, he is your son."

Wang Xiaoli remained silent.

Ji Lianxing was running out of patience. She didn't expect that after so many years, Wang Xiaoli still asked for money when she called.

Just when she was about to hang up the phone, she faintly heard a very low sob.People's hearts are not made of stone after all, Ji Lianxing couldn't bear it, so he didn't hang up the phone.

I just don't understand what Wang Xiaoli is crying about.

"Can you tell me quickly? Don't kidnap me with uncle. It's useless. You didn't spend a cent of the life-saving money I sent to uncle back then. Why do you still have the face to ask me for money now? "

Wang Xiaoli cried even harder, and finally said:

"I asked you to come back. I have no choice. I have no money for the funeral. Ji Siyu is dead."

The answer was completely unexpected. At that moment, Ji Lianxing's head buzzed, his throat choked up, and love and hatred all turned into a silent gray.

It turns out that hate and sadness can exist at the same time.
