Seeing the boy's expression, Xie Jianye had probably guessed what kind of person he was.
"Looking at how anxious you are, I'm afraid you don't have the heart to continue listening to me."
The main reason why he wanted to find a chance to have a good chat with Yan Jingxing in private was because of this matter. As a father, he really couldn't stay out of the matter, but...it was really hard to speak.
"Forget it, it's too early to tell you some things."
Xie Jianye smiled and shook his head.
"Adults don't deal with children's matters. Maybe my daughter will blame me for talking too much."
Yan Jingxing glanced at him doubtfully. The young man's heart was already filled with the emotion of being eager to meet his friends, and he turned around and left without having time to think about it.
…
He walked quickly to the porch and saw two girls pushing through the door with large and small bags in their hands, followed by two adult women who looked like they were accompanying bodyguards.
The curly-haired girl had just taken off her shoes and immediately cheered in surprise when she saw his figure.
"Jing Xing! You're awake!"
While shouting his name, Ji Chunzao rushed towards him and ran directly into his arms.
"...!"
Yan Jingxing held her thin shoulders with both hands.
How should I put it, although he had been eager to see the two girls since he woke up, and he was naturally very happy when he saw Chun Zao... but when the other party showed more enthusiasm than himself, he felt a little shy. .
"Well, I'm awake."
"Are you happy to see me?"
The curly-haired girl raised her little face lying on his chest and showed a bright smile.
That smile was as warm as the sun in the sky. The corners of Yan Jingxing's mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and the arms holding her tightened subconsciously.
"Well, I'm happy."
"hey-hey……"
Ji Chunzao had a silly smile on his face and looked even happier after receiving the recognition. After a while, she twisted her body and pouted as if she felt dissatisfied somewhere.
"You, why are you so polite to me?"
"……ah?"
Yan Jingxing didn't realize what she meant.
"Hands, hands."
The curly-haired girl still refused to leave his arms, lowering her head like a puppy and nuzzling his chest.
"You have to hug you tighter. I'm worried about you. I can't sleep well these days. I want to go to the room to see you every few minutes... So, you can't use the usual hug, you have to behave Just be more, more sincere.”
"..."
Yan Jingxing's face felt a little feverish.
He originally wanted to say that he was too embarrassed to have so many people watching; but when he lowered his head and saw the girl's hopeful eyes, a pair of bright and energetic eyes staring at him, he couldn't say anything. Say no.
Under the watchful eyes of the bodyguards and Miss Xie, Yan Jingxing gritted his teeth, simply closed his eyes and ignored the sight of others. His hands slowly tightened until he lifted Ji Chunzao in his arms off the ground.
"alright."
Ji Chunzao chuckled.
"You can let go. You are exerting so much force that I can hardly breathe."
"You..."
Looking at the two people hugging each other tightly, the intimate atmosphere was like being in another world isolated from others. Ji Chunzao's little feet wearing white mid-calf socks had left the ground, and Miss Xie's eyebrows were subconsciously moving. After frowning, he quickly relaxed again.
"I understand how you feel. But at least put on your shoes."
Xie Yuzhi knelt down and put on the slippers for Ji Chunzao.
"Jing Xing."
Yan Jingxing turned his head and was about to talk to the eldest lady, but saw that she had already stood up, raised her hand, and gently touched his cheek with her fingertips.
As if to confirm that he was still the same person as before, Xie Yuzhi carefully touched the outline of his face little by little.
"It feels... like we haven't seen each other for a long time."
The touch on your face is smooth, like gently wiping your skin with silk.
Yan Jingxing stared at Xie Yuzhi's eyes, which were dark and deep. They usually gave people the impression of being as calm as a lake in the forest; but at this moment, he saw an uncontrollable look in these familiar pupils. Overflowing emotions of joy flowed between their hearts like mountain springs.
"Yeah...I think so too."
He laughed again and stood still, letting Miss Xie's hand move on his face.
Ji Chunzao, who was still in the boy's arms at this time, watched the two people interact at a close distance. She blinked twice quietly, her long eyelashes fluttering, not knowing what she was thinking.
After Xie Yuzhi ravaged his cheek flesh wantonly for a while, she seemed to be finally satisfied and then put down her hand.
She came back to her senses and said to the two bodyguards who had been following behind her:
"You guys go first."
The bodyguards looked at each other, nodded to the young men, and then turned and left.
"Ah, I almost forgot." Xie Yuzhi turned her head again, "I should wash my hands. I'm sorry... I obviously just touched Chun Zao's feet."
"W-What's wrong with my feet?"
Ji Chunzao muttered a little dissatisfiedly.
"I just came back from shopping outside, what did you say happened..."
“Wear it in your shoes and it won’t get dirty!”
"But it will make you sweat, so it's not hygienic."
"No sweat!"
"Don't worry about this kind of thing." Yan Jingxing was a little dumbfounded. He said to Xie Yuzhi, "Let's find a place to sit down and have a chat."
"Um."
Miss Xie nodded.
"By the way, I was a little too excited just now, and I almost forgot to ask, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"
"of course not."
Yan Jingxing shook his head. He raised his arms and bent them in a playful gesture that highlighted his biceps, and replied with a smile.
"In other words, I have never felt so good. It's like I've changed my body and I'm full of energy."
"That's good. During the time you were in coma, we had several doctors come to your home. After examination, they all said that you should be in very good health. As for why you were unconscious, the reason is currently unknown."
The reason why you should invite a doctor to your home instead of going to the hospital is also very simple: once modern instruments and equipment are used to examine the body, if there are "secrets" in his body, it may be exposed. With the care of the young lady, it is impossible to think of this.
"Maybe I was just sleeping."
As soon as Yan Jingxing closed his eyes, a suffocating purgatory-like scene appeared in front of him, as if blazing fire was about to ignite the entire sky.
It was made by his own hands, and I'm afraid he will never forget it.
During the three days and two nights he was unconscious, how many times had he had this dream over and over again?
"Maybe."
Xie Yuzhi nodded. She took the lead and walked deeper into the corridor.
"Let's go. I'm sure you have a lot to say to us."
She waved to Yan Jingxing, gesturing for him to follow. The sunlight falling on the floor illuminated half of the girl's beautiful cheeks. Her skin was so fair that it was almost transparent, and the smile raised at the corner of her mouth was shining.
"I am looking forward."
*
They quickly found a suitable room. This villa is usually unoccupied. It only hires people to clean it regularly. There is nothing else but a lot of spare rooms.
After everyone came in, Xie Yuzhi locked the door behind him.
"We can't go home for the time being, so let's use this as a conference room."
The next words could only be heard by the three of them.
"Yuzhi, I have something to tell you."
Before starting the official topic, Yan Jingxing first planned to tell the conversation that just happened on the balcony. He would not hide it.
"Um?"
"Your dad, Uncle Xie just had a chat with me."
"Expected."
Xie Yuzhi nodded slightly. Seeing that her expression remained calm, I was really not surprised.
"So, what's your first impression of my father?"
She did not ask about the specific content of the conversation, but instead asked Yan Jingxing what he thought of his father.
Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment and began to think subconsciously.
"Don't worry about what I think, just tell me how you feel the first time."
"How should I put it, I think he is a bit, a bit..."
He hesitated.
"Doesn't it feel a bit to please you? It can even be called groveling?"
...The eldest lady seems to have the ability to predict the future. No, to be precise, she is very good at understanding people's hearts.
"Well, that's not a good thing to say." Yan Jingxing nodded, "Although this is my first time communicating with Uncle Xie, he usually doesn't treat guests like this, right?"
"Of course not. But you are different from everyone else. This must be the first time he has met someone like you."
Xie Yuzhi replied.
"Don't worry, adults have different ideas from us."
"...Does it mean they will consider it more realistically and complexly?"
Yan Jingxing once again recalled the conversation just now. Although it was only a few short words, it did remind him of something very important.
Even if he doesn't realize it yet, he is already a completely different person from the person he was when he moved to this town a month ago.
The power he possesses is gradually causing his own position to deviate from the real society he was once accustomed to——
This is not because he thinks that his personality has not changed, so he can really pretend that nothing has happened.
"Moreover, what you did this time is indeed exaggerated. Even..." Miss Xie sighed, "Even Chunzao and I, after seeing such a big scene, can we still look at each other with the same eyes as before? Looking at you?”
"I'm OK!"
Ji Chunzao immediately raised his hand.
"Hmph, Chunzao aside... I have to do some mental construction to be able to sit in front of you and chat with you naturally like I am now."
Although he said this, from Miss Xie's demeanor and demeanor, he could not see any "reluctance" at all.
"I feel relieved to see that you are no different after you wake up."
"Of course I won't change."
Yan Jingxing thought for a while and then said:
"By the way, he also said to me...well, I don't quite understand some of them, and it seems like they have some deep meaning..."
"What words?"
"He wants me to take good care of you and so on. What does this mean? Is it literally? But he should know that we have a good relationship. Why do you emphasize it all of a sudden?"
Miss Xie snorted again, and muttered in a rare low voice:
"...You really know how to meddle in your own business."
"ah?"
"Don't worry, you will know soon." Xie Yuzhi put her hand to her mouth and coughed lightly as if to cover up something, "Before that, let's talk about business first."
