Enchanted (GL)

Chapter 29

Abandoned by her biological parents, Ji Xi did not feel that she was particularly unlucky. At least she was not frozen to death in that snowy day; at least she was not kidnapped by traffickers, but sent to an orphanage; at least later she was adopted and met a pretty good grandma; at least now, she has a poor But a warm home.

Even the closest people can abandon themselves…Because of this, Ji Xi doesn’t want to rely on anyone anymore. So she fights harder than most people, wants to grow up, wants to make herself stronger. Only she would never abandon herself, she understood this principle when she was very young.

After experiencing all this, Ji Xi feels that she has no more hurdles. It was with this tenacity that she came to the present.

Ji Xi has never seen a snowstorm greater than that year, and everything is getting better with her efforts.

But when she received Yang Ping’s call today, she still cried. This incident is always a scar in her heart that cannot be healed, and it still hurts when she is torn with her hands. She gritted her teeth and thought, there won’t be another time.

At a glance, Qiao Zhiyu noticed that Ji Xi had cried, and his eyes were red.

“It’s nothing, the eyes are a little uncomfortable.” Ji Xi rubbed her eyes with her hands again, creating an illusion. She changed the subject with a smile and went to lead Qiao Qing, “Come in, it’s so hot outside today.”

The one-year-old and the one-year-old standing at the door are all wearing skirts, and Qiao Qing is wearing a small beige dress, cute and cute. Qiao Zhiyu wore a sleeveless tunic long dress, and his long hair was freshly rolled up, mature and elegant.

“Teacher. This is for you.” Qiao Qing stuffed Ji Xi with a large bag of snacks.

Ji Xi took it and touched Qiao Qing’s head. “The teacher said that no more snacks are needed.”

Qiao Qing said to Ji Xi, “Auntie bought this specially for the teacher.”

Ji Xi looked at Qiao Zhiyu and didn’t know what to say. Smiled.

At this time, Qiao Qing on the side added a similar sentence: “Auntie is really kind to the teacher.”

Ji Xi and Qiao Zhiyu looked down at Qiao Qing at the same time, and smiled tacitly. There was something in the words of what the little guy was making. Qiao Qing pursed his mouth and smiled, holding Ji Xi in one hand and Qiao Zhiyu with the other hand, pulling Qiao Zhiyu into the room.

“Xiaoqing, have you eaten yet?” Ji Xi knelt down.

Qiao Qing nodded: “I have eaten.”

“Have you eaten?” Qiao Zhiyu asked Ji Xi.

Ji Xi said perfunctorily: “I have eaten.”

Qiao Zhiyu saw half-eaten toast on the desk and asked, “Just eat bread?”

“Not hungry.” Ji Xi said with a smile.

Ji Xitian is quiet, with a faint taste, which may be called a literary breath. She dressed casually at home, wearing hot pants and a lazy and loose light-colored plaid shirt. The cuffs were rolled up, and the thin and long ones made her body particularly “weak and windy.”

Qiao Zhiyu caught a glimpse of her naked, slender legs. They were so thin that they wouldn’t be able to eat well. It just didn’t say it.

Just like Ji Xi, Qiao Qing likes Ji Xi’s place very much. It is the first time to go to someone’s house and take the initiative to stroll around the house.

Ji Xi poured two glasses of water over, and she said: “Today is not counted as class, when I accompany Xiaoqing to paint and play.”

“Counting class.” Qiao Zhiyu said. A person who does two part-time jobs after work is bound to have a lot of financial pressure, even if Ji Xi doesn’t say it, she can think of it.

Ji Xi and Qiao Zhi overstepped: “It doesn’t count.”

Qiao Zhiyu’s strong tone: “I say even if it is.”

Ji Xi continued with two words: “It doesn’t count.”

The two are getting stronger.

The disputes that came and went sounded a bit naive. In the end, Qiao Zhiyu looked at Ji Xi’s frowning appearance, helplessly: “I can’t help you.”

Ji Xi was satisfied.

Said the class was too cold. Ji Xi’s temper, once he accepts the good of others, he must return a little bit before he feels relieved. As she said that night, Qiao Zhiyu was so kind to her, and she wanted to do more for her.

For example, to accompany Qiao Qing to help Qiao Qing get out of autism.

The apartment is too small to compare with Qiao Zhiyu’s. The total area may not be as large as Qiao Zhiyu’s master bedroom.

In the afternoon, at a small desk, Ji Xi accompanied Qiao Qing to draw cartoons, while Qiao Zhiyu sat on the other side to read. She must have been crying, Qiao Zhiyu casually looked at Ji Xi’s eyebrows next year, and could feel that Ji Xi’s emotions were lower and depressed than before.

“Auntie, I want to go to the bathroom.” Qiao Qing drank a lot of drinks and went several times.

“Do you want your aunt to accompany you?” Qiao Zhiyu asked.

“No, I will go by myself.”

“She’s very courageous with you.” Qiao Zhiyu looked at Ji Xi, who lowered her head to paint, “If she was in someone else’s house, she wouldn’t even dare to say that she wanted to go to the bathroom.”

Ji Xi took the time to raise her head: “Really?”

Qiao Zhiyu: “Yeah.”

Ji Xi buried her head again and stopped talking. Silently holding a pencil and drawing on the paper.

“What’s the matter today?” Qiao Zhiyu still saw that Ji Xi was not right, and asked again, “Seeing that you are in a bad mood.”

Ji Xi smiled and refused to admit: “No.”

“Because of work?”

Ji Xi replied: “No.”

Qiao Zhiyu said: “It really is in a bad mood.”

Ji Xi stared at Qiao Zhiyu blankly, and was defeated by President Qiao’s impeccable logic.

In a bit.

Qiao Zhiyu whispered: “You can tell me.”

Because of this sentence, Ji Xi’s fingers stiffened while holding the pen. If the phone call received today is equivalent to tearing open her old scar, then Qiao Zhiyu’s gentle care is like a gentle blow on this scar. It doesn’t seem so uncomfortable anymore.

Qiao Zhiyu knew that the person in front of him was a dull gourd, a dull gourd full of thoughts. Everyone has their own story, and Qiao Zhiyu has no hobby to inquire about other people’s stories… but she couldn’t help but actively asked Ji Xi.

“As long as I paint, I will be in a good mood.” Ji Xi held a pen and drew on the paper, and finally a slightly natural smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Why don’t you go to the Department of Fine Arts?” Qiao Zhiyu could tell that Ji Xi is very talented in this area. It’s a pity.

Jiang Nian also asked this question. Ji Xi didn’t answer, but smiled. They are rich daughters. It’s normal to ask this kind of “why not eat meat” question. They certainly can’t imagine how realistic and terrible poverty is.

Ji Xi’s hometown is quite lagging in thinking. Girls usually marry someone early. If she hadn’t paid her tuition on scholarships and odd jobs herself, she might have married so and so and so. It is a miracle that she can go to graduate school in a prestigious university. Fortunately, small villages and towns are now paying more and more attention to education, and there is still a patriarchal trend, but it is not as serious as before. The society is always moving forward slowly.

Until five or six o’clock, the outdoor temperature gradually dropped. Ji Xi looked at the time and was almost ready to prepare dinner, “Let’s go to the supermarket to buy groceries and we can cook.”

Qiao Qing is very positive: “Okay ”

“So what kind of food does Xiaoqing want to eat?”

Qiao Qing said: “I’m not picky. Eat everything.”

Qiao Zhiyu laughed. Two months ago, the little guy who didn’t eat this or that didn’t eat it. Now he said he was not picky eaters.

There is a Wal-Mart within 500 meters nearby. Ji Xi originally wanted to prepare the ingredients in advance, but I don’t know what Qiao Zhiyu and Qiao Qing like to eat or not. It is more appropriate to simply buy them now and make them.

After spending a day at home, I feel comfortable going out. The streets in the evening are golden, making Beilin much more difficult and warm and humane.

Qiao Qing held Ji Xi with his left hand and Qiao Zhiyu with his right hand, unhappy. It’s just that when the little guy is happy, he’s not the kind of alive and kicking, just a shy and cute smile on his face.

On weekends, there are a lot of people in the supermarket.

Especially the poultry and vegetable area.

They are all starting to prepare dinner.

This is Qiao Zhiyu’s first time shopping for groceries in the supermarket, and it’s quite fresh. The environment is very noisy, but Qiao Zhiyu is not disgusted, but feels particularly smoky. There are also many young couples holding hands to buy groceries, watching others fall in love, Qiao Zhiyu couldn’t help but admire it again.

Qiao Qing said that you can eat anything, Ji Xi asked Qiao Zhiyu: “Mr Qiao, what do you want to eat?”

“You can do everything?”

“Almost.” Ji Xi said.

Qiao Zhiyu looked at the dazzling array of ingredients and didn’t know what to choose. She said to Ji Xi loudly, “I just want to eat home-cooked food, just do what you are good at.”

Ji Xi looked and picked, and bought what was new.

When the three people finished buying the food, they returned to the apartment. After the sunset, the yellow duck egg yolk sank in the sky, preparing for the curtain call. Jiang Nian didn’t lie, this apartment has a beautiful view at sunset.

Ji Xi first turned on the projector to show Qiao Qing the cartoon, and also told Qiao Qing not to steal snacks. Then Ji Xi said to Qiao Zhiyu, “You take a rest and I will cook.”

Qiao Zhiyu followed and stood up: “I will help you.”

“No, I’ll do it alone.” Ji Xi was afraid that Qiaozhi could not stand the cooking fume in the kitchen.

“It’s okay.” Qiao Zhiyu bends over to tease Qiao Qing’s face, “Hey, my aunt and the teacher are going to cook, you watch cartoons.”

Qiao Qing has always been sensible: “Okay.”

Qiao Zhiyu’s cooking times can be counted with one hand. When she was living abroad alone, she either ate outside in restaurants or ordered takeaways. After returning to China, there was always a housekeeping aunt at home, and she did not need to cook by herself.

Ji Xi is different. She knew to give herself scrambled eggs and fried rice when she was in elementary school. Although she didn’t have many opportunities to cook in the past few years when she came to Beilin, after all, it was a basic skill that she did from childhood to adulthood.

Turning on the faucet, Ji Xi carefully washed the ingredients.

Qiao Zhiyu took the cleaned tomatoes and put them on the cutting board, “I’ll cut them.”

“Yeah.” Ji Xi replied, continuing to wash the vegetables.

As a result, as soon as she finished responding, she saw Qiao Zhi slip away and the tomatoes rolled away.

As expected, Joe would never cook.

“I didn’t cut it, right?” Ji Xi was more nervous than Qiao Zhiyu. For fear that Qiao Zhiyu could cut it, he hurriedly stopped his work and moved forward to look forward.

Qiao Zhiyu stretched out his hand to her and smiled: “Why is it so easy to cut.”

“Don’t cut it.”

There is no technical content in cutting vegetables, Qiao Zhiyu said, “I’ll be careful.”

“Don’t touch it. Cut your hand later.” Ji Xi could not help but said that he had taken the kitchen knife from Qiao Zhiyu’s hand and would not let her continue.

Qiao Zhiyu always said one thing in front of others, probably only Ji Xi would stubbornly “kick” with her like this, and she never “kicked” this girl every time. Qiao Zhiyu felt amused and asked: “Am I that stupid?”

Ji Xi looked at Qiao Zhiyu with a serious face, and after a while, with a serious tone: “Yes.”

have it? ? Joe’s speechless.

“I’m coming.” Ji Xi smiled lightly and handed Qiao Zhiyu a safe job: “You wash the vegetables.”

Qiao Zhi exceeded compromise.

“The tomatoes can be roasted first, and then they can be peeled directly.” Ji Xi said while poking the tomatoes on the gas and roasting them.

“It’s amazing.” Qiao Zhiyu turned his head and looked, “Be careful, don’t burn it.”

Seeing how Ji Xi looked down when cutting vegetables, Qiao Zhiyu knew that she should cook often, the knife was fast and good, and the lettuce sections were cut into a bunch of even filaments immediately. It’s like magic.

Ji Xi’s hair was dangled and dropped from time to time. She flicked it back several times, but it still got in the way.

Qiao Zhiyu saw it, wiped his hands with a tissue, walked behind her, and picked up one of her long hair.

Ji Xi paused.

Qiao Zhiyu asked behind her, “Are there any rubber bands? I’ll tie it up for you.”

“In my trouser pocket.” Ji Xi whispered, her hands damp, unable to take off.

Qiao Zhiyu laughed, then moved closer, and put his hand into the pocket of Ji Xi’s hot pants. The position of the pocket against the thigh was only separated by a thin layer of fabric, so Ji Xi felt a little itchy when Qiao Zhi went over his fingers to hook the rubber band.

After touching out a small rubber band, Qiao Zhiyu gently adjusted Ji Xi’s hair with his hands. Ji Xi has a lot of hair and is fluffy and dense. Although she doesn’t take care of her hair very much, she has never permed or dyed her hair, so her hair quality is good.

When she came over, the scent became stronger. Ji Xi liked the taste of Qiao Zhiyu’s perfume, how could it smell so comfortable and good every time. Ji Xi froze and forgot to cut the vegetables, so Qiao Zhiyu helped her tie her hair, and the other hand gently rubbed her scalp, and when she touched her ears, she still felt itchy.

Ji Xi had never found herself so ticklish before.

She didn’t know when Qiao Zhiyu scratched her on the grass that night.

“Okay.” Qiao Zhiyu’s voice was gentle.

“Yeah.” Ji Xi also replied gently.

Ji Xi first made a lettuce stir-fried pork with some salt. After all, she invited someone to dinner. She wanted Qiao Zhiyu to taste the saltiness. After seeing Qiao Zhiyu washing the vegetables, she took a small bite and sent it to him. : “You taste salty and bland.”

Ji Xi didn’t think there was anything wrong with this action, she also fed Jiang Nian.

After a pause, Qiao Zhi leaned his head and opened his lips slightly to take the food that Ji Xi had brought him. Slowly tasting… One person washes the dishes, one cooks the dishes, and someone prepares dinner together, and eats dinner together. It feels so good. The ideal life she wants is about the same as it is now.

“Is it ugly?” Ji Xi watched Qiao Zhiyu and said nothing.

Qiao Zhiyu returned to his senses, staring at Ji Xi and said, “It’s delicious, just right.”

“That’s fine.” Ji Xi put the chopsticks aside, ready to serve.

Qiao Zhiyu suddenly asked: “Don’t you taste it?”

“You have to taste it.” Ji Xi said.

Qiao Zhiyu picked up the chopsticks and pinched her mouth. She leaned close to Ji Xi and also fed to her lips, whispering commands, “Open your mouth.”

Holding the plate in her hand, Ji Xi was taken aback, tasted just a bit of salty, it was weird to feed each other. But when Qiao Zhi walked over to feed her, she looked at her and couldn’t help but open her mouth obediently.

Qiao Zhiyu smiled, this move seemed like a lot of actions, but she didn’t know what happened, that is, she liked the intimacy between the two.
