Chapter 66.4: Parents (4)

After dinner, Ji Qingying and Fu Yanzhi, who didnt help with the cooking, went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Of course, it was Fu Yanzhi who was the one washing the dishes, while she was only responsible for taking it to her side and rinsing it.

After washing the dishes, the two sat with the elders for a while and went to the room upstairs.

As for the people downstairs, Ji Qingying probably knew what they were going to talk about.

The parents meeting was much better than expected. Grandma didnt ask for much. She only hoped that the person Ji Qingying married and his family would treat her well, and that was enough.

What she needs most is a warm and loving home.

After spending most of the day together, she believed in Fu Yanzhi and the promises of Ye Qing and others.

After so many years, what she is most worried about is Ji Qingying.

At night.

Ye Qing and Fu Zheng didnt stay at home. Ye Qing has a branch company meeting tomorrow, so the two returned to Jiangcheng.

Ji Qingying and Fu Yanzhi stayed and left the next day.

After taking a bath, Ji Qingying went downstairs to find her grandma.

She went to her room to change the sheets and quilts for Grandma and felt the temperature of the air conditioner along the way.

After all the trouble, Grandma just finished her shower and came out.

Why are you down here?

Ji Qingying hummed and acted coquettishly towards her, saying, I want to sleep with Grandma tonight.

Grandma laughed.

Yanzhi didnt mind?

Ji Qingying blinked.

Why would he mind?

Grandma pinched the tip of her nose dotingly and sighed, Why are you still so unreasonable.

Ji Qingying laughed. She hugged her grandmas hand and shook it. Grandma, which part of me is unreasonable?

She insisted, Im obviously very reasonable.

Grandma had no choice, she could only indulge: You cheeky girl.

The corners of Ji Qingyings lips curled up. Ill sleep with you tonight, please?

Okay.

Grandma rubbed her head. Im just afraid that youll dislike me.

Ji Qingying shook her head. How can that be?

She followed her to the bed and said, I will always love Grandma the most.

As they chatted, Ji Qingying turned off the light.

The night in the small town was very quiet, and the wind outside the window was blowing, as if trying to penetrate through the glass.

When Ji Qingying was young, she didnt like sleeping alone in winter or in thunderstorms and rainy days.

She always felt afraid, afraid that the wind outside would sweep her away, afraid that the lightning and the thunder would strike her Its an indescribable sense of unease.

At first, she didnt understand what it was. Gradually as she grew up, she realized it was a sense of security.

Since she was young,  she was a person without any sense of security.

Ji Qingying recalled the past, and so did her grandma.

She patted Ji Qingyings back and sighed, In the blink of an eye, Ah Ying, who would cry to look for me, is about to get married now.

Ji Qingying answered with a stuffy voice, Then I wont get married anymore, I will always stay with Grandma.

That wont do.

Grandma said without thinking, You better get married sooner.

She said, Finding a person to take care of you is quite good.

Ji Qingying,

She was speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Am I that rebellious, that I still need someone to take care of me?

Grandma laughed, saying, Youre not, I just hope that you have someone to take care of you, and for you to take care of.

She said, Its cold in winter, having someone remind you to put on your clothes, to take care of you when you catch a cold, to pick you up from work when youre tired, and to comfort you when youre upset.

Grandma spoke intermittently, her tone wasnt quick, and she didnt plan her words either; she just said what she wanted to express most, in the most straightforward and sincere way.

Ah Ying wont tell grandma that she doesnt have anyone who loves her in the future, and thats enough.

Ji Qingying buried herself inside the quilt, and cried without making a sound.

Okay.

After a while, her voice came out from the quilt, I wont, I have a grandma, and many others also love me.

Grandma smiled and patted her head as if she were a child to comfort her.

Thats good. I know that youre the most lovable kid, and everyone loves you.

Ji Qingying secretly wiped the tears from her face, trying her best to make her voice sound normal.

I know. She repeated, Grandma, I know. Thank you.

If it wasnt for grandma giving her enough love, Ji Qingying couldnt have grown up like this.

Grandma made up for her father and mothers love that she lacked in her childhood with her own way.

That night, Ji Qingying didnt know when she fell asleep.

They talked quietly and fell asleep without knowing it.

The next morning.

The sound from outside woke Ji Qingying up. She drilled herself into the quilt and tried to drive the sound away.

However, it was useless.

After a while, Ji Qingying lazily reached out for her mobile phone and brought it into bed. She looked at the time, and it was just eight oclock.

Thinking about it, Ji Qingying yawned and opened Fu Yanzhis message.

Ji Qingying: [How come youve already woken up!]

Fu Yanzhi was talking to Grandma when his phone vibrated. He looked down and smiled.

Grandma looked at him and said, Ah, Ying already woke up.

Fu Yanzhi nodded, Yes.

Grandma said with a smile, Shes not willing to get up.

Fu Yanzhi thought for a bit, Seems like it. Ill go call her.

Grandma waved her hand and said, Go ahead. Ill go for a walk first. When she gets up, let her eat some breakfast.

Okay.

After grandma went out, Fu Yanzhi knocked on the door and went inside.

Ji Qingying turned to look at him and asked, Have you eaten breakfast?

Fu Yanzhi nodded.

I ate with Grandma a bit. Are you getting up?

Ji Qingying opened her arms towards him, Wheres grandma?

Fu Yanzhi casually picked her up, let her hang onto him, and said with a smile, She already went out. Ill take you back to the bedroom?

Yes.

Ji Qingying buried herself in his neck and said coquettishly, Im still sleepy.

Fu Yanzhi looked at her messy hair and brushed it with his hands.

How did you sleep and become like this?

Ji Qingying hooked his neck and raised her eyebrows as she looked at him, You dislike it?

Fu Yanzhi laughed and kissed her lips, How can I dare?

Ji Qingying snorted, Thats good.

She yawned, Let me down. Ill go brush my teeth and have breakfast.

Fu Yanzhi didnt let her down, he calmly carried her upstairs and went inside the bathroom.

Only this much strength is nothing, dont worry.

Ji Qingying laughed, Okay.

She smiled silently, Are you going to stay here?

Fu Yanzhi nodded, It was hot in the kitchen when I was having breakfast, so Ill stay here with you.

The two smiled at each other.

Did you sleep well last night?

Fu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, Not good.

Ji Qingying looked at him in disbelief, Why? Was it too noisy outside?

It wasnt that.

Fu Yanzhi stood behind her, took the rubber band on the washstand to tie her hair, then hugged her from behind, rubbed her cheek and said, You werent with me.

Habit is a terrifying thing.

Since he got used to having Ji Qingying sleeping peacefully in his arms, when she was occasionally absent, Fu Yanzhi would have a hard time sleeping.

He kept on feeling empty and uneasy.

Ji Qingying was stunned.

She smiled, and after brushing her teeth, she turned around and kissed him, saying, Then Ill accompany you tonight.

Fu Yanzhi pinched her face and said, Wash your face?

Yes.

Fu Yanzhi stretched out his hand, wetted her special disposable towel, and wiped her face.

Although he didnt understand why women were so particular about washing their faces, whatever she liked, he would cooperate.

Ji Qingying raised her face and pursed the corners of her lips to ask him to help.

After wiping, she smiled silently and said, You go down first, Ill put on some make-up.

Okay.

After breakfast, it wasnt early anymore.

Ji Qingying and Fu Yanzhi went out to play for a while. This small town can be counted as a small tourist attraction, with many tourists coming and going. There are even many small shops around.

Ji Qingying took Fu Yanzhi out for a stroll, and bought something interesting when she saw it.

This is quite fun.

Ji Qingying shook the rattle in his hand and had a great time playing.

Fu Yanzhi did not speak yet, and the shop assistant beside him actively introduced, This voice sounds very crisp, and children will like it very much.

Ji Qingying,

She choked and said weakly, Ah, cant adults play it?

Shop assistant, Huh?

Ji Qingying was embarrassed.

"

"

Fu Yanzhi smiled and looked at the shop assistant.

How much?

After saying that, he turned to look at Ji Qingying and said, Do you still want anything else?

Ji Qingying blinked.

Lets look more.

Fu Yanzhi nodded, Okay.

They bought a bunch of childrens toys and continued to walk slowly.

After walking for a while, Ji Qingying saw a Tanghulu seller.

Fu Yanzhi followed and pulled her to line up to buy.

Do you still remember?

Ji Qingying looked at him and said, When I was with the filming crew before, you also bought it for me.

Fu Yanzhi nodded.

Ji Qingying laughed, Actually, I didnt want to eat Tanghulu back then, I just saw a child and his mother buying it, and I was reminded of when I was young.

Fu Yanzhi was slightly stunned, then he lowered his head to look at her.

Looking at his worried look, Ji Qingying smiled and said, Its not like what you think; I was just a bit sad. She also took me to buy Tanghulu before, but only once.

Fu Yanzhi understood, he took her hand and said, I see.

He tilted his head and smiled, saying, Ill buy it for you later.

Ji Qingying smiled; she put her arm on his shoulder and said, Okay.

She didnt really want to eat Tanghulu that day.

However, the two Tanghulu that Fu Yanzhi bought were really the sweetest Tanghulu that Ji Qingying has ever eaten since she was young.

Even now, she still remembers the sweet taste.

What are you thinking?

I was thinking about Tanghulu back then.

Fu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows.

"

"

Ji Qingying poked his arm and said, I dont know if it will be sweet today.

Before Fu Yanzhi could respond, the seller heard her muttering and responded loudly, Ah Ying, my Tanghulu are very sweet!

Ji Qingying
