Chapter 6: The Girl and the Young Man
Ji Chengyun slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his swollen head.
Dusty memories began to flood his mind. He had… gotten drunk?
It was funny; for so many years, his father had taught him that men had to learn to drink, but not to overdo it. Men didn’t necessarily have to smoke, but they had to carry a pack of cigarettes with them.
Now, his father was gone, and his teachings seemed to have been thrown to the wind by his own son. He had actually gotten himself drunk.
But he didn’t want to be like this!
His father died, and his mother followed. And not one, not two, but surprisingly, no one told him about their serious health problems. Why?
He was also a member of this family. He had the right to know everything. Even if he had to take care of his parents alone, he would have no regrets.
Ji Chengyun couldn’t accept that his parents had suddenly passed away without a word, leaving him all alone in this world.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, and Ji Chengyun instinctively pulled at the quilt. However, such a small action startled him greatly.
“What the hell!!!”
It was only at this moment that Ji Chengyun realized he had been stripped naked!
And the room was tidied up, with the air conditioning on. No wonder he slept so comfortably. But he remembered getting drunk and lying on the ground, so how did he end up in bed?
Moreover, the room had been cleaned thoroughly. He was quite self-aware and knew that he couldn’t have done this unconsciously; someone must have helped him.
Who could it be?
It couldn’t… be his group of good sisters…
Ji Chengyun was handsome and had a good personality, with excellent rapport with women. A large group of girls always called themselves his “little sisters.” Because of this, Ji Chengyun was often teased by boys at school.
Now, at the company, he was the object of jealousy for his male colleagues. However, thinking about it made him realize it was incorrect, because no matter how close their relationship was, he had never told anyone where he kept the key to his house.
And the key on his person was always kept well, so there was no risk of losing it. So who could it be?
With a head full of doubts, Ji Chengyun put on his clothes and walked out of the room. In just a few steps, he smelled the aroma of food.
“What smells so good?”
Ji Chengyun walked into the kitchen and saw that there was still food in the pot!
This scene sent a chill down Ji Chengyun’s spine. He looked around to make sure no one was hiding in the house, then breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the familiar plating and the familiar aroma in the pot.
He almost dropped his chopsticks. This taste… it was his dad’s taste~~
“Did Dad come back? No! It must be Dad’s ghost that came back!” Ji Chengyun was very sure. It couldn’t be his dad himself who returned.
Because he personally took his parents’ bodies for cremation. He had carefully preserved both urns of ashes in the freezer. How could his dad have come back?
But this taste… apart from Dad, no one could make it, not even Mom, because Mom’s cooking was terrible; she made biochemical weapons.
“So, it must be Dad’s ghost that came back. It seems Dad is still worried about me.”
At this moment, Ji Chengyun secretly decided that he must take good care of himself and not worry his dad, otherwise, his dad might not be able to reincarnate with peace of mind.
“Dad, don’t worry, I will take care of myself. You can rest assured and go on your way. Have a good journey!”
…
“Ouch…”
Ji Yunqi, who was riding her bike home, inexplicably tripped over a small stone, sending her and the bike flying. Fortunately, she fell into the grass, thus avoiding any physical pain.
“That’s strange. I’ve ridden my bike here without any problems before, so why did I fall today?”
Rubbing the spot where she fell, Ji Yunqi looked by the roadside. She wasn’t far from home, so she could park. She didn’t dare to ride anymore today.
As agreed, Wang Mengyao would go grocery shopping, and she would do the cooking next. It was a win-win strategy to cooperate.
Tomorrow was the first day of school, and Ji Yunqi no longer had the mood to wander outside. Since she had inherited this young girl’s body, she had to fulfill her wishes.
However, the most important thing now was to solve the source of her economic income, otherwise, Ji Yunqi was really afraid that she would starve to death in the house one day.
If that really happened, it would be too embarrassing. She was, after all, an excellent worker in her previous life. If she starved to death, where would she put her face?
Now that the son’s problem was solved, Ji Yunqi could temporarily put her mind at ease and deal with her own issues. With her son’s imagination, he would definitely stop being decadent and would likely pull himself together.
As for the wife’s problem…
Ji Yunqi was unwilling to think about it anymore. Perhaps his wife also didn’t want to see him lost because of her death. The deceased are gone; the living must continue to live.
Now she didn’t have much money left. Ji Yunqi urgently needed to find some ways to make money for emergencies.
Indeed, she still couldn’t stand life without savings. Without savings, there was no sense of security at all. If anything happened, she could only watch helplessly.
Since there was nothing else for the time being, she could start her platinum path! She would pick up her keyboard again and become that existence that struck fear into people’s hearts!
And not long after Ji Yunqi left…
After finishing his meal and cleaning up the dishes, Ji Chengyun went back to sleep. He hadn’t had a good sleep in a long time. Even though he had just woken up in the morning, he quickly fell asleep again after lunch.
It was at this time that a youth, dressed fashionably and appearing to be around 18 years old, used a similar method to Ji Yunqi to take out the key from the gap and unlock the door…
Upon entering and seeing the house looking brand new, he was first stunned, then subconsciously scratched his head, not understanding why the house was so clean.
However, he didn’t think much of it and instead walked directly towards someone’s room. Ji Chengyun was still in a bad mood and had forgotten to close the door when sleeping.
The youth entered his room almost without any hindrance, stood by the bed, and quietly watched Ji Chengyun lying on the bed.
“Phew, it seems, son, your psychological resilience is quite good. I was worried you would be drinking all the time.” A low voice echoed in the room.
Seeing that there was nothing for him to do at home, the youth could only pat Ji Chengyun’s face one last time and reluctantly left. He no longer belonged in this place.
His son could take care of himself. His current identity was not suitable for staying by his son’s side. Since his son was all well, he should go and do some of his own things.
For example…
Fulfilling the wish of this young boy…
