887 Of Course I’m Nervous
Ji Yan was so clever and perceptive that he would not fail to notice anything suspicious about the Angel Orphanage. Shen Hanxing had already had this idea, and without hesitation, she nodded and said, “Then, Mr. Ji, I’ll trouble you with this.” After all, her foundation was still shallow, and she had not many people she could use. Angel Orphanage was related to Zhan Cangqiong’s family. If ordinary people went to investigate, they would easily get into trouble and might even be in danger. Of course, it was best that Ji Yan was willing to help. There might even be a danger to their lives. If Ji Yan were willing to help, it would be the best thing. She couldn’t just stand by and watch a group of children suffer. If there were something that shouldn’t exist, they could not blame her for interfering.
Shen Hanxing’s eyes had a hint of coldness. Her brows furrowed unconsciously.
“Madam, don’t frown.” Ji Yan pressed his warm fingers between Shen Hanxing’s eyebrows, trying to smooth out the wrinkles. “I’ll take care of everything.” With him around, it seemed that he could give people an endless sense of security and give them the courage to press forward. It was as if everything could be solved easily with him around.
Shen Hanxing smiled and pressed her cheek against Ji Yan’s face. She said sincerely, “It’s great to have you around, Mr. Ji.” Ji Yan hugged her and held her in his arms with a gentle gaze. He pursed his lips and did not say anything. What he did not say was that he felt from the bottom of his heart that having her around was the greatest fortune in his life. It was her arrival that brought light and color to his world.
They did not speak again and enjoyed the sweet and quiet moment. Time passed quickly without them realizing it, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye. Lele gradually got used to life in the Ji Family. Under the love of his grandmother and his siblings, the smile on his face gradually increased.
On this day, the Ji Family got up early. Even Ji Yan did not go to work and sat solemnly in the living room. To the Ji Family, this was an important day because it was the big day for the college entrance examination results.
As one of the candidates, Ji Mo was pressed onto the sofa and sat next to Shen Hanxing. A fruit platter was placed in front of him. Everyone in the family looked anxious and worried, but they tried their best to adjust their expressions and pretend to be normal. It seemed they were afraid of affecting Ji Mo and Shen Hanxing’s moods.
Ji Mo’s face was full of helplessness, but his heart was slightly warm. He looked at the people around him and wanted to get up. “It’s not time to check the results yet. Why are you so nervous? If you don’t do well, you can repeat it. What’s the big deal?”
“Shut up!” Ji Qian jumped up and hurriedly covered Ji Mo’s mouth. She raised her voice and said, “Don’t say such inauspicious words. Bah, bah, bah, you don’t know what you’re speaking!” As she spoke, she patted Ji Mo’s back and lectured him, “How can you say that at a critical moment? Why did you curse yourself?”
Ji Mo was speechless. He had no idea that Ji Qian was so superstitious. After all, when their grandmother said that staying in bed on the first day of the lunar new year would affect one’s luck for the rest of the year, Ji Qian stayed in bed as usual, claiming that feudal superstitions were unreliable and one should believe in science. Then she would roll over and continue sleeping.
“We are living in a new era, so we must establish a scientific concept.” Ji Mo shrugged and said to Ji Qian, “You can’t be so superstitious.”
“Ji Mo.” Ji Ning clenched her fists and looked at Ji Mo disapprovingly. “Don’t talk like that. You can’t say such inauspicious words at this time.” She was even more nervous than Ji Mo and Shen Hanxing, who were waiting for the results. Her palms were covered in a thin layer of sweat. She carefully rubbed her knees and then put her hands together in a praying posture. She prayed that Ji Mo and her sister-in-law could perform well!
Even though they had confidence in Ji Mo and Shen Hanxing, the Ji Family was still very nervous, afraid that something unexpected would happen.
Looking at the noisy children of the Ji Family, Grandma smiled until her wrinkles smoothed out. She hugged Lele and said with a smile, “That’s right, it’s better to believe it exists than not. Ji Mo, don’t talk nonsense. We wish you to get into a good university.”
Ji Mo instantly fell silent, but he couldn’t help but feel happy inside. Who didn’t like the feeling of being cared for by their family? Ji Mo’s eyes flickered as he straightened his back, feeling a little nervous.
“Is Madam nervous?” Ji Yan leaned forward slightly and held Shen Hanxing’s hand. There was a faint smile in his black eyes as he asked gently.
“Of course, I’m nervous.” Shen Hanxing’s red lips curled up, and her eyes revealed a smile. Her soft body stretched out, and she leaned against the sofa.
