Chapter 97 Brothers are meant to be tricked, aren’t they?
Ji Yunqi was greatly alarmed. If he went to her own home, wouldn’t she be exposed?
This wouldn’t do. However, the immediate priority was to test the waters. What if they weren’t going to her house?
“Teacher Xia… uh, which house are you visiting?”
Xia Zijie frowned slightly, not understanding why the little girl next to him was so curious about such a question. Was she trying to pry information out of him?
However, Xia Zijie didn’t pay too much attention. After all, it was just a question, and it wouldn’t affect him, would it?
“Your Teacher Jiang.” Xia Zijie’s words were brief, directly telling Ji Yunqi the other person’s identity.
Seeing that Xia Zijie was not going to her house, Ji Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief. She dared not let this guy into her home. If she were discovered, wouldn’t her wife be in danger?
Since he was looking for Jiang Youwei, that was fine. Let him look around, anywhere but her home.
“Oh, oh, oh, so it’s Teacher Jiang. Speaking of Teacher Jiang, he takes good care of me too.” Ji Yunqi took the initiative to speak, trying to cover up the fact that she was trying to pry information.
However, Xia Zijie didn’t care at all. He simply sent Ji Yunqi to the bottom of the corresponding building and left.
He didn’t ask about other matters. Jiang Youwei had already informed him that Ji Yunqi and Ji Chengyun lived together, as he was also a teacher in that class.
Although he was not the head teacher, but only a subject teacher, and a teacher with very few class hours, this did not prevent him from caring about his students.
………
After sending Ji Yunqi away, Xia Zijie took out his phone and called someone.
“Dudududu~~~”
“Dudududu~~~”
“Dudududu~~~”
“Hey, why are you calling me?” A somewhat noisy voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xia Zijie’s lips curved slightly. “Can’t I call you for no reason? Just consider me coming to mooch a meal, don’t mind it.”
“Heh, fine, come over.”
Jiang Youwei had no objections, just a bit of helplessness.
Over the years, they had all come to know each other well, and they were clear about each other’s secrets. However, some things… not everyone could understand.
Hearing Jiang Youwei’s indifferent tone, Xia Zijie didn’t care at all. We’re all friends. After dinner, he would go see Ji Chengyun.
Originally, a while ago, he heard that his two “old friends” had passed away. He wanted to take Ji Chengyun to live with him and take care of him. But when he thought that this child was already a young man in his twenties.
He probably wouldn’t accept him, so he didn’t interfere. After not seeing him for a long time, he didn’t know how he was doing.
………
Jiang’s house….
“Old Jiang, how is Chengyun?” Xia Zijie asked while eating.
As juniors, Ji Chengyun was naturally the primary concern of these old folks.
Jiang Youwei had expected this. He knew that this guy would definitely ask about Ji Chengyun’s situation and had prepared his words.
“Chengyun is doing well, and he’s getting married next month. They haven’t sent out all the invitations yet. Some of them should be sent to you later.”
Xia Zijie’s hand, which was eating, paused slightly. Ji Chengyun was getting married?
Why didn’t anyone tell him?
“Chengyun is getting married? Who is he marrying? Do I know her?”
Jiang Youwei didn’t blame Xia Zijie for being so anxious. He knew that Xia Zijie also cared a lot about Ji Chengyun, which was why he asked. “It’s Luo Yao’s daughter. Don’t worry.”
Hearing that it was Luo Yao’s daughter, Xia Zijie was relieved. Although he didn’t like Luo Yao, he was still relieved to hear that Ji Chengyun was marrying Zhang Xinrou.
After all, these two children were childhood sweethearts, having grown up together and knowing each other well, so there was nothing to worry about.
… This is the woman…
Xia Zijie really didn’t want to see her. He would definitely attend Ji Chengyun’s wedding, and this woman would have to go too… Then he would have to see her. The thought of the person he liked made Xia Zijie unhappy.
What kind of status does she have!
Is she worthy!
………
“Okay, since it’s that child, then I’m relieved.”
Jiang Youwei looked at Xia Zijie’s indifferent expression and wondered if he should tell him about Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong.
If he said it….
Given his personality, that family would probably not be peaceful for a while. However, there would be no major issues, at most some trouble.
After all, they had known each other for decades. Even if they had disagreements, they wouldn’t have no connections. Decades of friendship would never be considered indifferent.
There would still be some friendship. Friends could at least be made.
But if he didn’t tell Xia Zijie…
Jiang Youwei felt rather reluctant. This person had already hidden in his heart for decades. His passing must have made him very sad, no less than himself.
He might even die of grief in the future. If he told him this good news, he would surely jump for joy.
What to do?
It was so hard to choose!
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Youwei finally made a decision!
That was to compromise, to give him a slight hint, and the rest would depend on him to discover. He wasn’t exactly telling him, just chatting normally. Yes, that’s right.
“Um… Laoxia, can I ask you something?”
Xia Zijie looked up in confusion, not understanding what this old geezer was up to. Why was he suddenly so polite to him? Didn’t he always say whatever he had to say? Why was he asking beforehand?
Could it be that after being a teacher for too long, he had become pretentious?
“Go ahead.”
“Cough cough, do you still care about Ji Chengyun?”
Xia Zijie’s expression immediately became confused when he heard this. What kind of question was this? “What do you mean? I watched Chengyun grow up, how could I not care about him?”
Jiang Youwei nodded. That’s the right way to talk. The rest is up to you.
“Then go and see him later, after all, you are an elder, aren’t you?”
Xia Zijie thought it made sense. He had been thinking on his way here whether to go and see him or not. Now that Jiang Youwei mentioned it, he thought the plan was feasible!
“Okay, I’ll go and see him later. I wonder how this kid is doing.”
Jiang Youwei could only sigh helplessly in his heart at this moment, hoping that Ji Yunqi wouldn’t blame him. Xia Zijie was also an old friend of many years. It wouldn’t cause too much trouble to Ji Yunqi’s life, right?
Moreover…
Since he had already tricked her once, there was no harm in doing it a second time. Brothers are meant to be tricked, aren’t they?
After finishing the meal, Xia Zijie got up to leave.
“Thank you for the hospitality. I’ll be going now.”
“Okay, goodbye.”
………
After watching Xia Zijie leave, Jiang Youwei hurried to the coffee table, took out a wooden fish from the drawer, and tapped it a few times.
“May they be well, this matter has nothing to do with me~”
