Enchanted (GL)

Chapter 83

What is engraved on the body always has a certain meaning.

The tattoo that Qiao Zhiyu was attracted to Ji Xi at first sight was also very special.

“For example… commemorating someone you like?” Qiao Zhiyu touched Ji Xi’s shoulder and asked with a smile.

Ji Xi looked at Qiao Zhiyu. Even though he could hear that Qiao Zhiyu was joking, she slowly replied stubbornly and seriously: “I only liked you.”

I never knew what it was like to like before. It was Qiao Zhiyu who taught her and taught her thoroughly.

This sentence may be like sweet words from someone else’s mouth, but when it comes from Ji Xi’s mouth, it will only feel that it is rigorously stating the truth.

Qiao Zhiyu would always be picked up by Ji Xi indifferently, feeling that his heart was bound to death by this girl. In fact, before meeting Ji Xi, she didn’t know that she would have such a heartbeat.

Ji Xi held Qiao Zhiyu’s hand on her shoulder, and looked down, thoughtfully.

She never mentioned the story behind the tattoo, and even Jiang Nian didn’t know the details. Jiang Nian only knew that she had a scar on her shoulder, and she wanted to get a tattoo to cover it.

“Jiang Nian made it for me two years ago. It implies a new beginning.” Ji Xi buried her head and thought, and Yun said lightly, “It was not easy before, but now it’s all better.”

It’s simple to say, but it’s a long experience. It’s a day after day. I still remember that when she was a child, she was always thinking about growing up quickly so that she could earn money and support herself. Strange to say, it seems that after having this tattoo, everything is lucky, got the job I want, and meet people who like each other.

Whenever I see Ji Xi like this, Qiao Zhiyu doesn’t feel like it, thinking about it, I don’t want to let her suffer any more in the future.

“There is a scar here,” Qiao Zhiyu said.

“Did you feel it?” After getting the tattoo, if you don’t look carefully, you can’t see the scar on her shoulder.

“Well, it seems quite big.” Qiao Zhiyu touched again and asked curiously, “How did you do it?”

Ji Xi was quiet for a while, and Qiao Zhiyu asked her the most sensitive thing. She buried it in her heart since she was a child and never mentioned it to anyone. For her, the restricted area generally exists.

Qiao Zhiyu intuitively felt that this scar had a story. She looked at Ji Xi’s eyebrows again and couldn’t help asking, “Did you grow up in Rongcheng?”

“Hmm…” Ji Xi just replied, and the mobile phone hummed.

Ji Xi was going to get the mobile phone, Qiao Zhiyu bent over and took it directly, and handed it to her.

Look at the screen, the caller ID is from Grandma Ji.

“grandmother.”

While Ji Xi was listening to the phone, Qiao Zhiyu sat by the bed and watched her quietly. He stretched out his hand to help her straighten her hair, then rubbed her head and squeezed her face. Ji Xi first looked at Qiao Zhiyu and smiled, hiding, and then his smile slowly faded.

Qiao Zhiyu could hear the crackling on the other end of the phone, but couldn’t understand the specific content. But looking at Ji Xi’s quietly frowning expression, it seems that something is wrong.

“…Your grandmother had a pain in her leg some time ago and she was still working. She fell and it has been in pain for a week. I asked her to tell you that she just refused, for fear of delaying your work. This is nothing, you still have to Come back and take her to the big hospital for an examination. This matter can’t be delayed…”

On the other end of the phone, it was the neighbor’s grandpa Chen, who was Chen Xu’s grandpa.

“I’ll be back today, sorry to trouble you.” Ji Xi said briefly and ended the call.

“What’s the matter?” Qiao Zhiyu listened to the sidelines, “Want to go home?”

“Grandma fell to her leg, I will go back to see her.”

“Does it matter?” Qiao Zhiyu was anxious looking at the phone, so he said, “I’ll stay with you.”

“It doesn’t matter, you should accompany Xiao Qiao more during holidays.” Ji Xi’s first reaction was to refuse. For one thing, she didn’t want Qiao Zhiyu to follow along, and secondly, she thought that Qiao Zhiyu would not be able to stand the rural environment.

Qiao Zhi more than hesitated, still said, “I’m not relieved.”

“Don’t worry.” Ji Xi insisted.

Qiao Zhiyu couldn’t insist anymore, “Will you leave in the morning?”

“Well, it’s very fast to take the high-speed rail.”

Ji Xi checked the ticket on her mobile phone, calculated the time, and bought a trip two hours later. After walking hurriedly, she simply packed up some things, and Qiao Zhiyu drove her to the South Station.

No festival, the high-speed rail station is sparsely crowded and pitifully few.

Ji Xi unfastened his seat belt.

“Baby.” Qiao Zhiyu called Ji Xi, more and more fond of calling her like that.

Ji Xi turned his head.

Qiao Zhiyu took her hand and confessed: “You can call me and tell me anything.”

“Well, you go back.”

After Ji Xi got out of the car, Qiao Zhiyu looked out of the car window, staring at the thin back who hurriedly left, in a daze. She knows that Ji Xi has her in her heart, but she also thinks there are shortcomings between them——

There is still a gap. Or in other words, Ji Xi didn’t seem to trust her enough.

Ji Xi has suffered a lot and it is not easy. She really wants to help this dull gourd share a little more.

In the bar, light and shadow intertwined. Qiao Zhiyu walked into time and attracted the attention of many people as always.

Passing through the crowd, Qiao Zhi looked over and saw Yao Ran’s figure beside the deck close to the stage, drinking alone, feeling lonely.

“To fall in love is to raise people. Mr. Qiao has recently become beautiful again, and his face is full of spring.” Yao Ran looked up, and smiled bitterly with Qiao Zhiyu, and asked, “Why didn’t Xiao Ji be with you?”

“There is something in her house, I’m going back. You drink less.” Qiao Zhiyu took the bottle in her hand, which was two-thirds empty. This posture was to stop getting drunk.

Yao Ran looked at Qiao Zhiyu: “Why are you standing?”

Qiao Zhiyu sat down opposite Yao Ran, watching Yao Ran’s state, couldn’t help asking: “Are you still quarreling with Jiang Nian?”

Yao Ran and Jiang Nian had a conflict. Qiao Zhiyu had heard Yao Ran say before. She didn’t know what to say. She had been together for several months before she knew the true age of each other.

“No quarrel. I split with her.” Yao Ran’s tone was calm, and she shook the wine in the glass with an indifferent appearance.

Qiao Zhiyu knew Yao Ran, if he really didn’t care, he wouldn’t be what he is now. She was surprised. She didn’t expect Yao Ran to get to the point of breaking up.

“It’s clear that she is playing around.” Yao Ran rubbed her forehead and sneered. “I’m so **** blind. I’ve been playing with a little girl for half a year and I’m so angry.”

Yao Ran was really hurt. She didn’t believe in feelings anymore. She was living freely by herself. A girl like this popped out to tease her, her heart was taken away, and she finally found that she was deceived by others.

Jiang Nian didn’t know his age to associate with Yao Ran, it was really unreliable. But Qiao Zhiyu could tell that Yao Ran and Jiang Nian were out of touch, and Yao Ran was angry again, “You calm down, don’t make impulsive decisions.”

“I’m very calm, I won’t look for someone who is younger than me, so much younger.” Yao Ran is categorical.

“Just mind age?” Qiao Zhiyu asked.

Although Yao Ran said that, in fact, it was even more annoying. It was Jiang Nian who lied to her. How could this make her trust? Of course, she did not even think about finding someone younger than herself.

“They have a different mentality from ours,” Yao Ran drank his head. “We are talking about relationships now, we want to find a co-production person to stabilize our lives, they, no matter how good they are, they are just trying to be fresh. I haven’t thought about the future at all. I can’t afford to play, and when I get older, I want to be safe.”

After hearing this, Qiao Zhiyu was silent.

Yao Ran reacted slowly and didn’t say any more. After all, Qiao Zhiyu also has a young girlfriend.

Qiao Zhiyu has gone away. Has Ji Xi ever thought about what happened to them in the future? Still thought about it, that’s why you feel insecure like that?

She feels that Ji Xi is different from most girls of the same age. Ji Xi needs to be more mature and stable, more sensitive and delicate, and needs more care.

After hearing what Ji Xi said after being drunk, Qiao Zhiyu wanted to know how to make Ji Xi feel more secure and trust herself more.

Because of a single phone call, Ji Xima has been non-stop throughout the weekend and has not rested.

Grandma Ji’s condition is not very good. The old man is already osteoporotic, and after a fall, she is prone to fractures. The specific situation has to be checked in the hospital before I know it.

Ji Xi decided to take Grandma Ji to Beilin for treatment. The leg pain is an old problem. Beilin’s medical conditions are good, and it happens to be carefully checked and more convenient to take care of.

Grandma Ji agreed, mainly because Chen Xu said that he knew a well-known orthopedic doctor and was very good at this. Hearing about going to a hospital with acquaintances, the elderly feel relieved.

Grandma Ji has two sons and one daughter, and they already have their own families. Seeing that the elderly are still healthy, they don’t care much, and give a little bit of living expenses every month.

This time the old man was injured. They either said that they could not squeeze the time, or they couldn’t explain the medical procedures in the big hospital. Anyway, it was a matter of course to push the matter to Ji Xi.

They subconsciously felt that this girl was picked up and fed for her for so many years. Now it is right to do something to repay her.

Regardless of other people’s attitudes, Ji Xi did not complain about taking care of her grandma. When she was a child, her grandma took a lot of care, and she remembered it all in her heart.

Grandma Ji was very old, and she could see clearly that she knew in her heart that she could not match this unrelated granddaughter.

The outpatient service was registered by Chen Xu, including the hospitalization. Chen Xu also helped a lot. Ji Xi didn’t want to trouble Chen Xu, but Grandma Ji only believed in Chen Xu.

The results of the examination came out. Fortunately, there were no fractures, synovitis, or knee joint effusion, but the effusion was a little serious and needed to be taken. Although surgery is not required, hospitalization is required.

Ji Xi temporarily took three days off, and plans to hire a caregiver for the rest of the treatment. She can’t stay in the hospital all the time.

The ward is a triple room with an empty bed in the middle. The bed next to the window is also an old lady. She is easy-going and talkative, and will not let the air in the ward become stuffy. Your granddaughter is so filial, and your granddaughter is so beautiful, making Grandma Ji smile.

Taking care of the sick is a tiring task, and Ji Xi has become much haggard after only two days.

Ji Xi wanted to tell Qiao Zhiyu about her grandma’s arrival in the north, but she just didn’t mention it because Qiao Zhiyu was on a business trip. Work is already busy enough, and she doesn’t want to worry about Qiao Zhiyu any more.

Qiao Zhiyu only came back from a business trip to find out that Ji Xi was staying with her grandmother in the hospital alone. She found that Ji Xi hadn’t gone to work at the company, so she called for cross-examination before asking. If you don’t ask, this dull gourd will definitely not say it.

In the quiet corridor, Ji Xi leaned back against the wall, with her mobile phone attached to her ear, making a whisper on the phone.

“How’s grandma?”

“Fortunately, there is no fracture, but the knee is swollen with synovitis, and it is inconvenient to move. It will be fine if the effusion is taken out.”

“I’ll come over as soon as I’m done.”

Ji Xi said: “It’s okay, you take a break first, don’t rush over.”

Qiao Zhiyu asked, “What does grandma like to eat? I’ll bring some over.”

“No need to prepare.”

“Mr. Ji, it’s the first time I saw my parents anyhow, you let me come empty-handed?
