Chapter 54: Old Thing, What Do You Want to Do?
While Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong were having fun, some special circumstances also occurred in the Jiang family…
“What did you say?! She lives at Chengyun’s house?” Jiang You exclaimed.
Jiang Beiyun nodded: “Yes, after my unremitting efforts to track… err… no, investigation, these past two days, I found that although her whereabouts are strange, she returns to Brother Chengyun’s house every night.”
Jiang You sighed softly and walked to the balcony, looking at the starry night sky: “Alas… what’s going on?”
He couldn’t figure out why Ji Yunqi lived with Ji Chengyun. He wouldn’t be like some idiots who thought they were related just because they both had the surname Ji.
After so many years, he still knew what Ji Chengyun’s father was like.
Perhaps it was only because of some unknown reasons that they ended up living together.
However, he definitely couldn’t ignore this matter. One was his student, and the other was the son of his close friend. No matter what, he had to manage it.
However, it was a bit late now. If he remembered correctly, there were no classes tomorrow morning, so he could go and see then.
“Beiyun, what do you think the situation is?”
Before visiting tomorrow, Jiang You still wanted to hear his son’s opinion. His son was classmates with Ji Yunqi and had a good relationship with Ji Chengyun. Perhaps he had some unique insights.
“Dad, what can my pig brain think of?”
“Just think about it. Say whatever you think of.”
“Alright…”
Under his father’s oppressive authority, Jiang Beiyun, albeit reluctantly, began to recall the little details between them.
However, he hadn’t played with Ji Chengyun for many years. Although they were of the same generation, there was still some age difference.
This could be considered a generation gap to some extent. Ji Chengyun had already started working and held a not-so-low position, while he had only just started university.
However, when Jiang Beiyun’s thoughts shifted to Ji Yunqi, the upturned corners of his mouth could not be suppressed.
Every time he thought of Ji Yunqi, his mind was filled with her quiet and cute smile, and her approachable and amiable demeanor~
“Hehe… hehehe…..”
*Slap…*
“Dad, why did you hit me?” Jiang Beiyun covered his head and looked at his father with a wronged expression, not understanding why his father had brought him here, as he hadn’t done anything!
“Why did I hit you? I called you for a long time, and you didn’t respond, just kept looking like a pervert. I was afraid you’d gone senile!”
“Huh?!!”
Jiang Beiyun’s eyes widened, somewhat disbelieving. Had he looked like a pervert just now? Did that mean his little thoughts might be detected by his father?
This is… too much!
Is it strange for college students?
When he was in high school, his dad didn’t allow him to fall in love. On the first day of school, he urged him to quickly bring a daughter-in-law home. He didn’t take it seriously then, but now~
If it were possible, that would be truly… hehehe~
“So, what did you think about after thinking for so long?” Jiang You pulled over a chair and sat down, while also considering whether to practice a small account, as his main account’s brain seemed to be not working well.
“Ahem, of course! I’ve thought of it!”
“Oh~ Then tell me, I’d like to see what your pig brain can come up with?”
Jiang Beiyun’s mouth twitched: “Old thing, can you not say such unpleasant things?”
“Rebellious son! What did you say?!! Believe it or not, I’ll whip you!” Jiang You immediately stood up and drew out the “Seven Wolfs” from his waist.
“Hey! Old Thi— No, Dad, calm down! I’m your son! You can’t treat me like this!”
“Then you speak to me properly, or I’ll beat you to death, you rebellious son!”
Jiang Beiyun finally chickened out…. but he would never admit that he was afraid of the “Seven Wolfs” in his father’s hand, it was just…. respecting the elderly!
“Uncle Ji and Auntie Ye are not around Brother Chengyun, he must be feeling lonely. Although we can accompany him, we are ultimately not family, don’t you think?”
Jiang You nodded. This was indeed true. No matter how close the Jiang family was to Ji Chengyun’s family, they were ultimately not a true family.
Even if he could help his old friend take care of his son, he couldn’t fill the void in the other’s heart.
Even the confused need to save themselves.
“This is indeed true, continue.”
Seeing that his father believed him, Jiang Beiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worried about being beaten.
“Since Brother Chengyun feels lonely, he naturally needs to fill this void. And student Ji Yunqi is also an orphan. I remember when Brother Chengyun came to the school for a lecture, Yunqi fainted in front of Brother Chengyun.”
“Brother Chengyun also took her to the hospital at that time. It’s probably that two people with similar tragic fates rely on each other for warmth. That’s what I think anyway.”
After listening to Jiang Beiyun’s words, Jiang You fell silent….
The facts seemed to be just like this, and this was the most logical explanation.
It was most fitting for two people with similar tragic fates to huddle together for warmth.
Moreover, he still remembered that Ji Chengyun always used to talk about why his parents didn’t have another younger brother or sister for him when he was a child, and how he would have someone to accompany him if his parents were gone.
At that time, he had personally witnessed how Ji Chengyun was whipped and cried, and he had even tried to persuade him.
Now, it seemed that Ji Chengyun must have treated Ji Yunqi as a sister.
This… is good…..
Ji Chengyun is now successful in his career and has no financial worries. Ji Yunqi can provide him with emotional value and help him with some household chores.
It can also be considered mutually beneficial and interdependent.
What a pair of poor children~
Thinking of this, Jiang You’s determination to go and see these two pitiable children tomorrow became even stronger.
Then, Jiang You’s gaze shifted to Jiang Beiyun.
“!!! What the hell, old thing, what do you want to do now?!”
Sensing Jiang You’s sharp gaze, Jiang Beiyun instinctively prepared himself. As long as his father showed any signs of hitting him, he would slip away.
He would immediately run into his room and hide behind his mother, so he wouldn’t get beaten.
“I’m not hitting you, just discussing something.”
Jiang Beiyun remained unmoved, looking at Jiang You with the expression of someone looking at a fool, almost carving “You think I’m an idiot” on his face.
Out of helplessness, Jiang You had to throw the “Seven Wolfs” he was holding aside to show his sincerity.
When the “Seven Wolfs” were released from Jiang You’s hand and landed on the sofa, Jiang Beiyun’s attitude changed.
“Hey, Dad, what do you want to discuss with your son?”
Jiang You:…….
“Get up early tomorrow morning, buy some gifts, and then we’ll go visit your Brother Chengyun’s house.”
“No problem, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him.”
