Chapter 15: Moving In
About an hour later, Ji Chengyun returned to the hospital room.
She was holding a tattered suitcase, and a hint of embarrassment was on her face.
After all, just now, she had taken the initiative to help Ji Yunqi pack her things. Given how weak the girl was, she naturally needed to rest well.
“What’s wrong? Your face is so red, are you feeling sick?” Ji Yunqi saw that Ji Chengyun’s condition seemed a bit off and asked.
“Uh… I’m fine…” What else could Ji Chengyun do? She couldn’t exactly say she was embarrassed by the intimate clothing of those girls when she was packing their things for Ji Yunqi.
However, seeing that Ji Yunqi seemed not to care at all, she found it difficult to say anything.
At this moment, Ji Yunqi’s IV drip had just finished.
“Let’s go, come home with me.” Ji Chengyun reached out and pulled Ji Yunqi up from the hospital bed.
Although she felt a bit strange in her heart, Ji Yunqi didn’t say anything in the end. After all, this was her son.

*Click…*
The house door was opened. Ji Yunqi suppressed the excitement in her heart. She had actually returned! Although it was just her and her son, it was enough.
It would have been even better if her wife were still here. A home needs to be complete. The family of three from before was now only father and son, which was truly the way of the world.
“You…”
Ji Yunqi saw her son’s hesitant expression, and her heart tightened. This kid… wasn’t he going to ask her for rent? No, no, she didn’t have money now!
“Sen… Senior classmate, could you let me stay for a while? I’ll work hard to earn money, and then I can pay you rent.” To make it convincing, Ji Yunqi endured the pain and pinched herself. Her eyes immediately turned red, looking as if she was about to cry.
Ji Chengyun was startled. She was worried that this junior female classmate might think she had bad intentions, so why was she even worrying about this? Did he look like someone who lacked those few dollars from a “crooked melon or cracked date”?
“Don’t worry, junior classmate, I won’t charge you rent.”
“But… it’s not good for me to just stay here for free.” Ji Yunqi herself found this statement disgusting. What kind of excellent remark was this?
“If junior classmate really feels bad about it, then help me with some cleaning when you have time.” Ji Chengyun didn’t want to make things difficult for the cute junior female classmate, so she proposed an exchange of labor.
Ji Yunqi nodded. Although on the surface she was still getting the better end of the deal, that was only on the surface. This was the house she bought!
“Then junior classmate can stay in this room.” Ji Chengyun placed Ji Yunqi’s luggage in the room where her parents used to live.
Previously, since the family only had three people, they bought a two-bedroom apartment with only two rooms. Besides his own room, there was only the one his parents used to live in.
However, after his parents passed away, he had already tidied up everything in the room. It wasn’t bad to let his junior female classmate stay there.
“Um… junior classmate, it’s getting dark. You should unpack your things first.”
“Okay.”
Seeing Ji Chengyun enter the room, Ji Yunqi started unpacking her things by herself. She had very few belongings now, and she finished packing in just a few minutes.
Lying on the familiar yet unfamiliar bed, Ji Yunqi felt a myriad of emotions. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep…
When she opened her eyes again, it was already early morning. Ji Yunqi was so startled that she sat up like a carp leaping.
She patted her little face, looking somewhat flustered. She actually fell asleep!
She quickly opened her phone and saw that it was only 6:30. It was still early, but at this time, she could go and cook for her son.
Her son usually woke up at 8 am, as he had to go to work. She also had to go to school soon, and she might even look for a part-time job in the evening.
She looked into the refrigerator and found some eggs. There was bread on the table. Ji Yunqi knew at a glance that her son had bought them.
For the sake of convenience, her son liked to eat an egg with a piece of bread, which was a simple and rich breakfast. However, now that Ji Yunqi was here, she would definitely not allow him to be so hasty.
However, due to the limited amount of items in the house now, she could only make do with it this morning. But at the very least, she wouldn’t just boil an egg for her son.
She might as well fry it and put it in the bread. It would taste pretty good.
Although Ji Yunqi’s movements were still very skillful, she was completely lacking her previous speed due to her physical strength. If it were before, she would probably have finished in ten minutes.
But today, it took a full half hour to get everything ready.
After breakfast, she kept the rest warm in the pot, left a note on the table, and Ji Yunqi hurried out.
The courses in the first year were numerous, and she had early morning classes almost every day. She didn’t want to be late.
…………
Fortunately, the distance from home to school was not far, and Ji Yunqi successfully entered the classroom before being late.
Seeing someone waving from the back row, her gaze shifted over, and she immediately saw Ye Mingkong’s handsome face. At this moment, Ji Yunqi felt a warmth in her heart.
This classmate is really nice, reserving a seat for her. What a good person~
“Have some drink, you look out of breath.” Ye Mingkong handed his milk to Ji Yunqi.
Ji Yunqi refused. She couldn’t casually accept other people’s things. “No, thank you.”
Ye Mingkong silently took back the milk, with a hint of disappointment on his face. He looked around, made sure no one was paying attention, and then asked,
“Hey, did anything happen after he took you away yesterday?”
Ji Yunqi was a little confused by Ye Mingkong’s teasing look. Why did this person seem like he was trying to get gossip? What interesting things could happen when she was taken away by her son?
What could possibly happen between father and son?
“No.”
“No?”
As if disbelieving, Ye Mingkong took out his phone and found a photo taken by busybodies on the school forum, handing it to Ji Yunqi.
“Here, look. Senior Ji just carried you away like this. Didn’t anything happen between you two?”
Ji Yunqi turned her head and saw a photo. In the photo, Ji Yunqi’s eyes were closed, and she was held in Ji Chengyun’s arms around her waist, a so-called princess carry.
Ji Yunqi’s first reaction to seeing such a photo was disbelief—her son had grown up and could protect his old father. It seemed she wouldn’t have to work herself to death anymore and could retire.
But then she suddenly remembered something and looked at Ye Mingkong with a shocked expression!
No wonder this person was so gossipy! Ji Yunqi finally remembered that she was now a girl who had no relation to her son.
Although in her own perspective, this was a harmonious scene of fatherly love and filial piety, it was completely different for everyone else!
