227 Chapter 226, It’s Not Enough
Li Xu made three simple dishes. After the children finished eating, she said a few words and went back to the shop.
In Ji Yuanyuan’s room, she was about to ask Yang Jingyi what fruit she wanted to eat when she saw Yang Jingyi quietly open her bag and take out her homework, textbook, and stationery case.
She placed them neatly on Ji Yuanyuan’s desk and looked up. “Yuanyuan, can you help me get a stool?”
Ji Yuanyuan was startled by Yang Jingyi’s enthusiasm. She came back to her senses and quickly ran out to get a stool from the living room.
!!
Seeing Yang Jingyi sit down, Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before asking, “Do you want to watch TV in the living room and eat some fruit?”
Yang Jingyi shook her head, “No, I’ll do my homework first.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, turned around, and walked out of the bedroom. She helped Yang Jingyi close the door.
She thought that Yang Jingyi might want to be alone for a while.
In the living room, Ji Zi’ang was watching TV, and the voice was a little loud.
On the TV was the 1997 version of the “Demi-gods and Demi-devils” films. The beautiful Wang Yuyan was talking to Murong Fu pitifully.
“Cousin, although we are not officially engaged, you promised my Mother that you would take care of me for the rest of my life when we were at Mantuo Mountain Villa that day…”
Ji Zi’ang craned his neck as he watched in a daze.
Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and said, “Second Brother, turn down the volume on the TV!”
Ji Zi’ang did not even move. “Wait a minute. Let me finish watching this.”
Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything. She went forward and snatched the remote control from Ji Zi’ang’s hand, then lowered the volume with the remote control by a few degrees.
Ji Zi’ang was finally willing to move. He turned his head to look at Ji Yuanyuan and said unhappily, “I can’t hear it anymore!”
Ji Yuanyuan was unmoved. “Big Brother and Jingyi are both studying. You’re making so much noise that it’s affecting them! If our Mom finds out, she’ll definitely scold you.”
Ji Zi’ang sighed and lay on the sofa. “Alright, alright. I’ll watch it this way then!”
Ji Yuanyuan sat down beside Ji Zi’ang and started watching as well.
In the past, these TV series had a tight plot and did not have a long episode with the loose plot at all. Moreover, the actors were all good-looking, and there was no need to mention their acting skills.
That was why she loved watching them. When she grew up, she would occasionally flip through these TV series.
She had watched these classic TV series countless times, and she could almost memorize the plot and lines.
At around 8 pm, Zhang Kun and Li Xu came back together.
Zhang Kun came back at around 6 pm and stayed in the shop with Li Xu until now.
So, he already knew everything about Yang Jingyi.
When he got home, as usual, he would play with the children for a while before going to bed.
Seeing that Yang Jingyi did not come out, he told Ji Yuanyuan, “Call Jingyi out to watch TV, eat some fruit, and relax for a while.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and ran to the bedroom. She asked carefully, “Jingyi, come out and rest for a while.”
Yang Jingyi was still doing her homework. Ji Yuanyuan was shocked by how hard she was working.
When Yang Jingyi heard that, she looked up from her book and look at Ji Yuanyuan.
A moment later, she shook her head and said, “No, I still have a few questions to finish!”
“Don’t do it anymore. You’ve been studying all night. You’re already very good,” Ji Yuanyuan advised in a low voice.
Yang Jingyi lowered her eyes in disappointment. “It’s not enough…”
After a pause, she raised her head and forced a smile. “I’ll be fine after I finish these few questions.”
After saying that, she lay on the desk and continued to do her homework.
Although Ji Yuanyuan felt a little heartache, she could only sigh.
What exactly happened? Why was Yang Jingyi’s Mother in the hospital? Why did Yang Jingyi become like this again?
Ji Yuanyuan was full of questions. After she gently helped Yang Jingyi close the door, she retreated into the living room.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan come out on her own, Zhang Kun asked in a whisper, “Where’s Jingyi? Why isn’t she coming out?”
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head. “She doesn’t want to come out!”
Hearing that, Li Xu pushed Zhang Kun. “You can go back first.”
Yang Jingyi was obviously in a bad mood. The mess at home must have affected the children as well.
If Zhang Kun were to get into a mess with the children, Yang Jingyi would inevitably think of Yang Junying when she heard that. It would make her feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Kun nodded thoughtfully and looked at Li Xu. “Come over later. I have something to discuss with you!”
His expression was serious, but Li Xu did not think much of it and said directly, “Okay!”
After Zhang Kun left, Li Xu instructed the children, “Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your faces. Ji Zi’ang, have you finished your homework? Why do I feel like you’ve been watching TV all night?”
Ji Zi’ang quickly replied, “Yes, I’ve finished it. I only watch it after I finished my homework. The teacher didn’t give me much today!”
Li Xu tugged at the corner of her lips and said, “It’s fine as long as you know what you’re doing. If you fail the next exam, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Ji Zi’ang stuck out his tongue guiltily and took the lead to go to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Looking at her son’s back, Li Xu knew that he was definitely lying.
However, she did not want to push her son so hard and let him relax.
She turned around and went to Ji Yuanyuan’s bedroom.
When she opened the door, Yang Jingyi was already packing her school bag.
Li Xu said softly, “Jingyi, come out and brush your teeth and wash your face with Yuanyuan. It’s time to sleep.”
...
Yang Jingyi raised her head and forced a smile. “Got it, Auntie.”
Seeing that the four children had finished cleaning up and ran to the bed, Li Xu then went to Zhang Kun’s side.
Zhang Kun had already tidied up and laid down on the bed.
Li Xu felt a little strange. “What do you want to discuss with me?”
Zhang Kun waved at her and Li Xu walked over. Just as she was about to sit on the edge of the bed, Zhang Kun suddenly reached out and hugged her.
What happened next was self-evident. Their clothes were scattered all over the floor and the wide quilt completely covered the two of them.
The quilt moved up and down. Zhang Kun suddenly lifted the quilt and stuck his head out.
Under the light, he carefully looked at his hands. His expression was a little solemn. “How can this be? Why is it this color?”
Li Xu also looked at him with a red face. She took a piece of toilet paper from the bedside and helped him wipe his hands. Only then did she say, “I don’t know what happened these few days. My stomach has been hurting a little. It might be a little inflammation…”
When Zhang Kun heard this, his expression became even more serious. “Why didn’t you tell me? I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow morning to have a look.”
“Okay!” Li Xu hesitated for a moment and agreed.
...
Zhang Kun got off the bed and said in a low voice, “Don’t come down. I’ll go get some water.”
Li Xu wrapped herself in the blanket and nodded.
After the two of them washed up, Li Xu was a little sleepy in Zhang Kun’s arms.
“Don’t go back at night?” Zhang Kun discussed this with her.
Every night he was alone in the empty room. He also wanted to taste the feeling of sleeping with his wife until dawn.
