Chapter 412: Envy You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After two days in school, it was the weekend.
As usual, Ji Yuanyuan and Yang Jingyi were the first to arrive at the school gate. Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang had not come out yet. The two of them stood at the school gate and waited eagerly.
“Yuanyuan,” Yang Jingyi said, “I’ll come to you guys tomorrow morning. My mom sewed a sandbag for me. How about we play with it?”
“Alright!” Ji Yuanyuan sighed.
In her previous life, she had stopped playing activities like throwing sandbags, jumping rubber bands, and playing marbles when she was in junior high school.
She didn’t expect that after being reborn, she would have to accommodate this little ancestor and play such a childish game with her.
“Hey, your Big Brother is out.” Yang Jingyi’s eyes suddenly lit up as she pointed at a figure not far away.
Ji Yuanyuan looked over and saw that Ji Zixuan was indeed heading in that direction.
It had to be said that Ji Zixuan’s looks and temperament were eye-catching among the students.
There were so many people in the crowd that they could see him at first glance.
With his head lowered, he walked very quickly alone and soon reached the two of them.
Probably because he would be graduated from school in half a year, he did not seem to be interested in socializing in the past two days.
He rarely mentioned her classmates at home.
After all, getting to know so many new students was a very brain-consuming thing.
When the time came, he would feel bad if he were to separate after he had invested his feelings.
There was still half a year before graduation. It was better to be alone.
Ji Yuanyuan could understand Ji Zixuan’s thoughts.
“Brother Zixuan, do you still have classes this weekend?” Yang Jingyi asked him. “Can you play with us?”
“No.” Ji Zixuan shook his head, “1 have to go to class. The Mathematical Olympiad competition is coming up soon.”
Yang Jingyi was obviously disappointed, “Oh…”
At this moment, Ji Zi’ang came over.
Unlike Ji Zixuan, who was alone, Ji Zi’ang was surrounded by several boys.
Ji Zi’ang looked very proud, probably because he had agreed to go home with them.
The students only left when they arrived.
Ji Zi’ang puffed out his chest, “My classmate is going to our house to play games tomorrow morning. Yuanyuan, bring Fang Xinyi to Yang Jingyi’s house to play. Don’t disturb us.”
“Oh!” Ji Yuanyuan could not be bothered to argue with him and only responded indifferently.
The next morning, at around 8 am, Ji Zixuan went to the Mathematical Olympiad class.
After sending Ji Zixuan back, Li Xu started cleaning up.
After all, Ji Zi’ang’s classmate was coming, so she had to tidy up the house.
This way, Ji Zi’ang would have some face.
“Mom, we’re going to play with Jingyi.” After dressing up, Ji Yuanyuan asked Li Xu for instructions.
After all, Ji Zi’ang had instructed them yesterday to give him some face.
Besides, Yang Jingyi had made an appointment with her yesterday.
“Alright, don’t stay up too late. Come back at lunchtime. Don’t trouble your Auntie Hu, okay?”
Li Xu instructed as she mopped the floor.
“Okay, Mom!”
“Got it, Auntie!”
Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi said at the same time.
Li Xu smiled and put down the mop, “Wait, I’ve washed some fruits for you.
You can bring them to Auntie Hu’s house to eat together.”
She went into the kitchen and took out the plastic bag that she had packed earlier. There were several kinds of fruits inside, all washed.
She handed the plastic bag to Ji Yuanyuan and said, “Go!”
Ji Yuanyuan said sweetly, “Thank you, Mom. I love you!”
“Go, go.” Li Xu laughed.
Ji Yuanyuan held Fang Xinyi’s hand and walked out of the door.
When they reached the second floor, Fang Xinyi said, “Yuanyuan, I really envy you!”
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment before turning around and saying, “Envy me? Why are you envious of me?”
She subconsciously thought that Fang Xinyi was talking about her family background, so she comforted her, “Your grades are so good. What I have now, you will have it in the future, and it will definitely be better than mine.”
Fang Xinyi shook her head and said in disappointment, “I’ve never told my mother that I love her.”
Ever since she moved into Ji Yuanyuan’s house, she realized that other people’s lives were like this.
Between mother and daughter, they could say ‘I love you*. There was no need to be shy or awkward.
Their family was worried about their lives every day. Whether it was between their parents or between their father and daughter, they had never said such words.
“I used to feel embarrassed too, but when you say it, you’ll know that it’s not that difficult.” Ji Yuanyuan consoled her, “When your mother comes back, you can try to say it once. Your mother will definitely be very happy.”
Fang Xinyi smiled shyly, “Okay, I’ll give it a try when she comes back.”
The two of them carried the fruits and soon arrived at Hu Chunli’s house.
Yang Jingyi woke up late and was still eating.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi, Yang Jingyi finished the rest of the milk in a few gulps.
She hurriedly took the sandbag beside her and discussed with Hu Chunli, “Mom, let’s go out and play with the sandbag for a while.”
Hu Chunli hesitated for a moment.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll be careful not to get hurt.” Yang Jingyi knew what Hu Chunli was worried about, so she quickly said coquettishly.
“Auntie, don’t worry. We’ll protect Jingyi too.” Ji Yuanyuan promised.
Fang Xinyi didn’t say anything, so Yang Jingyi quickly gave her a look.
Fang Xinyi had known them for a long time, so she naturally knew about Yang Jingyi’s illness.
Seeing Yang Jingyi give her a look, she quickly said, “Auntie, I will take good care of Jingyi.”
Fang Xinyi was two years older than the two of them. Most of the time, she played the role of an older sister.
Seeing that the three of them had made a solemn promise, Hu Chunli nodded, “Look at how nervous you are. I didn’t say that 1 wouldn’t let you go. But don’t play for too long. You’ll have to be back soon, understand?”
Yang Jingyi was happy, “I know. Thank you, Mom!”
She held one person in each hand and quickly left the room.
There was a small square in the middle of the neighborhood.
In the morning, there would be some uncles and aunties chatting and picking vegetables here.
However, at this time, the uncles and aunties had long dispersed.
The three children started playing.
Of course, they could not be said to be playing together. It could be said that Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi were playing with Yang Jingyi.
Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi took turns playing with Yang Jingyi.
After a few rounds, Ji Yuanyuan was a little thirsty. After passing the sandbag to Fang Xinyi, she asked, “Are you two thirsty? Why don’t I go home and get some water?”
Yang Jingyi held her knees and panted, “Sure, go ahead. We’ll wait for you here.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and turned around to walk towards home.
Yang Jingyi and Fang Xinyi sat on a bench in the small park, waiting for Ji Yuanyuan.
At this moment, the three of them did not notice a woman had entered the main entrance of the residential area with a dull expression.
The woman was wearing a black down jacket. Her face was haggard and her eyes were dark.
As soon as she entered the neighborhood, she looked around as if she was looking for someone..
