Chapter 375 - 375: God’s Perspective
Ji Yuanyuan and the others had to leave after nine o’clock.
Gong Wenbai was also going back home for the new year this year. Since H City wasn’t too far from S City, he could take Li Miao back to S City before going back to his hometown.
Everything was loaded into the car. The adults were chatting, and the children were gathered together.
“Yuanyuan, What are you looking at?” Qin Mucheng could not help but ask.
When he was talking to Ji Yuanyuan just now, she was a little distracted and kept staring at a tree in the yard.
Ji Yuanyuan retracted her gaze and looked at Qin Mucheng. A moment later, she pointed to the tree in the courtyard that she had once carved words on and asked in a low voice, “That tree, when was it planted there?”
Although Qin Mucheng’s expression was a little puzzled, she still answered honestly, “My mother planted this for me when I was born. It’s the same age as me.”
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan was still staring at the tree, Qin Mucheng asked in a troubled manner, “You like it? But…”
Why would she like a tree?
He didn’t know if it could still live if he dug it out and sent it to S City!
When Ji Yuanyuan heard Qin Mucheng’s answer, she frowned slightly.
After a moment, she retracted her gaze and said in a low voice, “No, I’m just curious.”
Hearing that, Qin Mucheng heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Ji Yuanyuan with his big eyes and said, “Sister Yuanyuan, call me when you’re free. I’ll go find you during the summer vacation!”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “Alright.”
She was hiding something in her heart, so she was a little absent-minded when she spoke.
After they got into the car and left, Qin Mucheng raised her head and looked at Cheng Shuqin with some uncertainty. “Mom, did 1 do anything wrong these few days? Why did Yuanyuan look so unhappy just now?”
Cheng Shuqin and Qin Haowen looked at each other and wanted to laugh.
He had only just a few years old and he was already worried about his personal gains and losses?
“Why would she? You’ve been doing very well these past few days, so Little Sister Yuanyuan will definitely be unhappy to be leaving soon, she can’t bear to part with you.”
Qin Mucheng replied with an ‘oh’, but he still looked as if he had a lot on his mind.
On the way back, the two boys and Li Xu sat in Zhang Kun’s car.
Ji Yuanyuan followed Li Miao and sat in Gong Wenbai’s car.
Gong Wenbai didn’t talk much, to begin with, plus he and Li Miao hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so they were a little distant.
Thus, it was very quiet in the car.
Ji Yuanyuan sat alone in the back seat, closing her eyes and thinking about things.
The first time she had a dream, she didn’t think too much about it. She thought she was revisiting an old place, and what she thought about during the day was what she dreamed about at night.
But this morning, she woke up from her dream and realized something was wrong.
It was as if she had a God’s perspective in her dream. The various perspectives and the authenticity of the dream made her suspicious.
It didn’t seem like a dream. It was more like something that had really happened.
She clearly remembered Auntie Wu had said something in her dream. She said the tree in the courtyard was personally planted by Auntie Cheng when Qin Mucheng was born.
In order to verify the reality of the dream, she asked Qin Mucheng that question.
Qin Mucheng’s words also verified Ji Yuanyuan’s guess.
Regardless of whether it was in her previous life or this life, Qin Mucheng had never mentioned the origin of that tree to her.
How could Auntie Wu be so accurate about the tree’s origin in her dream?
She had a bold guess.
Perhaps, what she saw was not a dream, but something that had really happened in her previous life.
Even things like rebirth and space could happen to her. She was not surprised at all when she speculated about this.
However, after so many years, why did she only dream about her past life when she was in the Qin family?
Could it be that the Qin family had something special?
After waking up from her dream last night, she did not fall asleep again.
So, as she thought about it, Ji Yuanyuan actually fell asleep.
Li Miao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was also in a bad mood as she thought about Liu Zijian.
She looked out of the window in a daze.
On the second day after he ran into her Big Sister, Liu Zijian went to her apartment and squatted there again.
However, she refused to meet him.
Big Sister would not harm her, and she would not dislike him for no reason.
Moreover, it wasn’t just her Big Sister, even Yuanyuan didn’t like Liu Zijian.
Perhaps, she had really been blinded by her feelings.
So, it wasn’t just because she had promised her Big Sister, she also wanted to calm down and think about her relationship with Liu Zijian.
She was afraid meeting Liu Zijian would affect her judgment and cause her to waver again.
However, this was the first time she had a good impression of someone. It was not easy to look at this relationship calmly.
Gong Wenbai looked at Ji Yuanyuan through the rear mirror.
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes were closed and she seemed to have fallen asleep, Gong Wenbai asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Li Miao came back to her senses and quickly looked at Gong Wenbai. She said in a murmur, “Nothing much? Do you want to drink water? Do you need me to open a bottle for you?”
Gong Wenbai shook his head. He looked straight ahead and said casually, “I’ve resigned,”
Li Xu was stunned for a moment and looked at him in surprise.”You resigned?”
“Yes, resigned.” Gong Wenbai nodded.
“You were doing well, why did you resign?” Li Miao asked.
Gong Wenbai was the Qin family’s old master’s bodyguard and was on standby 24 hours a day. His salary should not be low.
Although Gong Wenbai was on standby 24 hours a day, Qin Junshan’s schedule was simple. Other than going out to drove the car occasionally, Gong Wenbai could rest the rest of the time.
So, in Li Miao’s heart, this was a good job.
She didn’t quite understand why Gong Wenbai would resign.
“I can’t be doing this for the rest of my life, right? Bodyguards are also considered a job that relied on youth. What if their physical strength can’t keep up when they’re older?” Gong Wenbai smiled.
Li Miao also laughed. “How old are you this year? You’re thinking so far ahead.”
“I’ll be 28 years old after the new year. I’m not young anymore!” Gong Wenbai heaved a long sigh.
“What do you want to do after you quit?” Li Miao asked.
She didn’t know why, but when she thought about how she might not be able to see Gong Wenbai in the future, she felt a little uncomfortable.
“I want to go to B City after the new year, and I’ve saved some money these few years. I’ve discussed it with my former comrades in the army. We’ll start a security company together.”
“Starting a company? That’s good.” When Li Miao heard that Gong Wenbai was going to B City, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, “If you go to B City, we might meet again in the future!”
“Yeah, maybe!”
After sending Li Miao and the others to S City, Gong Wenbai immediately turned around and headed to H City.
Along the way, Ji Yuanyuan was sleeping like a log. When she got out of the car, she was still in a daze.
Li Xu called the two of them over. “Get in the car. We’re not going home. Let’s go directly to your grandparents’ house!”
Ji Zi’ang opened the car door.. “Yuanyuan, Aunty, get in quickly!”
