BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71
When Li Miao heard that her eyes lit up, “Really?”
Looking at Li Miao’s expression, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little sour in her heart.
In her memory, her aunt in her previous life had been admitted to a university, but it was just an average second-tier school. Later on, she got married and lived a life full of chicken feathers.
Li Miao was giving herself too much pressure. She always felt that it was so difficult for her family to provide for her to study. She had to learn something to be worthy of her family.
Sometimes, pressure will become a driving force. But sometimes, carrying too much pressure on one’s body would affect one’s progress.
Li Miao belonged to the latter category. Her psychological pressure was too great.
She always treated herself as an investment of the Li family. If there was no return, she would let down the entire family.
“Aunty, we will earn a lot of money in the future. So, study properly, even if you can’t get in this year, you will definitely get in next year.” Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and touched Li Miao’s face.
Li Miao was amused by Ji Yuanyuan’s serious look.
“Okay, Aunty, study properly. You must also study properly.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded hard.
Seeing this, Li Xu hurriedly got up and said, “Okay, okay, hurry up and go out. Don’t let our parents worry about you.”
Li Miao raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes and said in a low voice, “Got it, Sis.”
Li Miao followed Li Xu out. When Liu Guihua saw Li Miao’s expression, she let out a sigh of relief.
Everyone could tell from Li Miao’s reaction that she probably did not do well in the mock exam this time, so everyone had a tacit understanding and did not bring up the issue of her grades. This saved Li Miao from feeling upset.
Li Yong had to work on the weekend, so he returned to the city on Saturday night.
Li Xu stayed with the children until the afternoon of the Sunday before returning.
When they reached the ground floor, Li Xu stopped the tricycle. Before she could even stop, Ji Zi’ang and Ji Zixuan jumped out of the tricycle and ran upstairs.
Li Xu shook her head helplessly and carried Ji Yuanyuan out of the tricycle.
She then locked the tricycle and was about to go upstairs.
However, after a few steps, Ji Zi’ang came down the stairs, panting.
“Mom, Mom...” He called Li Xu along the way.
“What’s wrong? Did you forget to take the keys?” Li Xu asked as she took the keys out of her pocket.
Ji Zi’ang stood still and shook his head before saying, “No, it’s Uncle Zhang...”
Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan were both stunned when they heard this name.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly reacted and widened his eyes as he asked, “Is Uncle Zhang upstairs?”
Ji Zi’ang nodded, “Uncle Zhang is at our door. He even brought a lot of delicious food.”
This foodie could only see food in his eyes.
Seeing Li Xu standing in the same spot with a stunned expression, Ji Yuanyuan quickly held her hand and pulled her upstairs. “Mom, let’s go quickly. Uncle Zhang must be waiting anxiously.”
It was unknown when he arrived!
Li Xu allowed Ji Yuanyuan to pull her upstairs, her heart was a mess.
She did not know what she should say after seeing Zhang Kun.
Things had already come to this point. What did he mean by coming?
She should have said it very clearly, right?
When they were almost at the door of their house, Li Xu took a deep breath and felt inexplicably nervous.
When they were upstairs, Zhang Kun was indeed standing at the door.
He and Ji Zixuan stood awkwardly together.
The moment he saw Li Xu, his expression turned even more awkward.
“Big... Li Xu, I’m here to see the children.” The moment he saw Li Xu, Zhang Kun subconsciously wanted to call her Big Sister.
However, when he thought about the purpose of his visit, he swallowed the words ‘Big Sister’.
He changed the way he addressed her and directly called her by her name.
Li Xu looked at Zhang Kun and quickly lowered her head. She took the key and opened the door, “Then don’t stand outside, come in.”
After opening the door, Li Xu entered first.
Ji Zixuan was very sensible and took the initiative to help Zhang Kun take his things. Seeing this, Ji Zi’ang also took the opportunity to look at the packaging box.
Zhang Kun stood at the door with a perturbed expression.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan took two steps forward and took the initiative to hold Zhang Kun’s hand, “Uncle Zhang, come in, I’ll get you some water.”
Zhang Kun lowered his head. The moment he saw Ji Yuanyuan, his heart calmed down a little.
After entering the door, Ji Yuanyuan pulled Zhang Kun to sit down on the sofa.
Ji Yuanyuan ran to the kitchen, wanting to pour some water for Zhang Kun. But in the kitchen, Li Xu was already making tea.
“I don’t need you here, go out and chat with Uncle Zhang.”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Li Xu’s expression and nodded her head vigorously, “Okay, Mom, come quickly too.”
After saying that, she went to the living room.
...
Zhang Kun sat on the sofa in the living room. His entire body was a little cramped, and he did not know where to place his hands and feet.
“Uncle Zhang, when did you come?” Ji Yuanyuan stood beside Zhang Kun and took the initiative to talk to him.
When someone talked to him, Zhang Kun’s mood became a little calmer.
“I came over at two in the afternoon.”
“Ah...” Ji Yuanyuan deliberately exclaimed, “Then Uncle Zhang, did you wait at the door for more than two hours?”
Zhang Kun subconsciously glanced at the kitchen and nodded, “Yes!”
He knew that Li Xu would be very busy in the morning, so he deliberately picked an afternoon to come over.
Who knew that Li Xu was not at home.
He thought that no matter where she went, Li Xu would definitely come home on the weekend afternoon.
The children had to go to school tomorrow morning.
He had been waiting for two hours. He was thinking about something, so he didn’t feel that the time was too long.
...
Li Xu dawdled in the kitchen for a while and tidied up her mood. Only then did she come out of the kitchen with tea.
“I’m sorry, I took the children to their Grandmother’s house on Friday night. My sister happened to be on vacation, so she wanted to go home to take a look.” Li Xu handed the tea to Zhang Kun, “Have a drink”
Zhang Kun quickly took it, “Yes, I know. Yong Zi told me that you have a sister. She’s in the third year of high school this year, right?”
Li Xu nodded, “Yes, she’s in the third year of high school.”
“How are her grades?”
“Not bad, she should be able to get into university.”
...
The conversation between the two of them was very polite. Ji Yuanyuan reckoned that Zhang Kun would be too embarrassed to speak.
After all, there were still the three of them!
“Big Brother, Second Brother, can you accompany me to Yang Jingyi’s house for a while?” Ji Yuanyuan ran to the door of the brothers’ room and asked at the top of her lungs.
“Sure, I’ll accompany you,” Ji Zi’ang answered without thinking too much.
