Chapter 75: “This… can’t be eaten!”
“Ahem, well… Senior, I’m going back to my room now…” Ji Yunqi knew the situation was very awkward at the moment.
Pulling up the slipping shoulder strap, Ji Yunqi skirted around Ji Chengyun and returned to her room, closing the door in one smooth motion.
If this were her old life as a father, let alone showing her thighs, she wouldn’t have cared about walking around shirtless. After all, they were father and son, and there was nothing to hide.
Ji Yunqi was also very fortunate. She was aware of her current self. If she hadn’t adapted and habitually walked around the house shirtless like before,
Wouldn’t she have been seen by her son just now?
The scene automatically appeared in her mind, and Ji Yunqi felt a bit unable to accept it. It seemed that her female body had influenced her thoughts.
But it was good this way, preventing her from getting stuck in her thoughts and being taken advantage of.
…………
The next morning, as usual, Ji Yunqi got up early to prepare breakfast for her son.
However, when she opened the refrigerator, she found that there didn’t seem to be any ingredients left. But she did remember that there was a freezer at home.
She fumbled her way over to the freezer and opened it. The contents inside puzzled Ji Yunqi.
Because there weren’t many things in the freezer, and the cured meats and sausages that were preserved during the New Year were still there. Ji Chengyun hadn’t eaten any of them during this time.
Ji Yunqi didn’t understand why they didn’t eat the cured meat and sausages.
But as Ji Yunqi was wondering, she noticed two cans in the corner.
Driven by curiosity, Ji Yunqi picked up one of the cans. The opening wasn’t completely sealed. After opening it, Ji Yunqi saw a pile of grayish-white powder.
“What is this?…”
Because it had been placed in the freezer, the can had a thin layer of frost, so Ji Yunqi couldn’t see if there were any words written on the can.
Therefore, she could only judge what it was based on her senses.
Since it was kept in the freezer, it must be edible!
Grayish-white…
Could it be… flour?
Ji Yunqi had never put flour in the freezer, so she didn’t know if this stuff turned grayish-white due to the low temperature.
But it did look a bit like flour.
“This silly child, why would you put flour in the freezer?”
Flour only needs to be kept in a cool, ventilated place. At most, it could be put in the refrigerator in very hot weather. The freezer’s temperature was too low, and it was completely unnecessary.
“It seems this child still lacks some common sense. I’ll have to teach her properly when I have the chance.”
Ji Yunqi placed the can on the kitchen counter and was about to make breakfast with this “flour” when she was reprimanded by Ji Chengyun.
“What are you doing?!”
Ji Yunqi turned her head back in confusion and saw Ji Chengyun running out wearing only a pair of boxers. The corner of her mouth twitched.
This kid, I’m officially your junior classmate now, is it really appropriate for you to run out wearing only a pair of underpants like this?
Although she herself was also wearing that rather revealing nightgown…
“Making breakfast.”
“Huh? You… you’re using this to make breakfast?” Ji Chengyun’s raised hand trembled slightly, clearly surprised by Ji Yunqi’s response.
“Is there a problem? Can’t this be used to make breakfast?” Ji Yunqi looked at Ji Chengyun with innocent, wide eyes, speechless.
“That’s definitely not possible! How can this be used to make breakfast?”
Ji Chengyun didn’t seem to intend to explain to Ji Yunqi. He pulled the girl aside and put the cans back into the freezer himself.
At this moment, Ji Chengyun truly felt a shiver down his spine. He had to put his parents’ ashes in the freezer because he had been busy lately.
He had originally planned to find an opportunity to build a small shrine at home to place them, or find a place to bury them, but he had forgotten about it.
It was a good thing he heard the freezer being opened in time and came out to check, otherwise, he would have eaten his own father this morning…
Ji Chengyun looked resentfully at the sloppy junior classmate behind him in the nightgown, feeling a headache.
Why is this woman so reckless?
Ji Chengyun wanted to say something, but after all, he hadn’t made himself clear. Who would have thought that there would be ashes in a freezer meant for storing ingredients?
“Uh… you don’t need to worry about these two cans. You can touch anything else, but not these two, okay?” Ji Chengyun ultimately didn’t say anything unpleasant.
The young girl was trying to prepare breakfast for him, she just didn’t know the circumstances, so he couldn’t say much.
“Uh… I know.” Ji Yunqi didn’t know what it was, but she guessed it probably couldn’t be eaten. Since her son didn’t want her to touch it, she let it go.
However, since she couldn’t use the “flour” to make breakfast, Ji Yunqi could only simply fry an egg for Ji Chengyun.
But while eating breakfast, Ji Yunqi was a bit absent-minded. She hadn’t really paid much attention to it before.
But seeing Ji Chengyun check the two cans again after finishing breakfast, as if he was afraid they would be damaged or stolen, Ji Yunqi found it strange.
They’re just two cans, why is he guarding them so much?
“Uh… junior classmate…”
Ji Yunqi looked up at Ji Chengyun. This was the first time her son had spoken to her so politely in so many days.
“What’s wrong?”
“You… you should wear more when you’re in the room from now on. You’re wearing too little. I am a man after all, and it’s not good for you to dress like this all the time.”
She looked down at the nightgown she was wearing, then up at Ji Chengyun’s upper body, which was already dressed. She fell silent…
Alright, her son was dressed, and she was still so revealing, making her look like a hooligan. There was still a bit of a barrier now, Ji Yunqi understood.
……….
In the classroom…
Ji Yunqi seemed to understand why those college students hated early morning classes so much…
If it were her original life trajectory, she would have to get up so early every day without complaint, just like when Ji Yunqi used to go to work.
But looking at the schedule, with a class missing the next morning, Ji Yunqi felt uncomfortable.
It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After sleeping in for a day, she didn’t want to wake up early for several days, even for a perverted middle-aged man in his sixties like her. She really didn’t want to get up early!
Especially seeing the listless look of other students in the classroom, Ji Yunqi could empathize even more.
……….
Just then, Ji Yunqi saw the two girls who were provocatively dressed and dancing in the bar’s dance floor the night before.
Correspondingly, the other two also noticed Ji Yunqi.
They whispered something to each other with their faces close together, then smiled at Ji Yunqi. However, they didn’t come over to talk to her.
This made her feel inexplicable. Her intuition told her that these two should be talking about her, but they didn’t come over, which was indeed tantalizing.
