There were even a few windows that had their curtains open. From afar, one could see the children sitting in front of the desk, burying their heads in their books.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed slightly and drew the curtains again.
Early the next morning, Li Xu woke up and pulled Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang out of bed.
Knowing that there was still time, the two of them definitely wouldn’t be able to eat breakfast, so Li Xu didn’t cook.
After tidying up the two children, she packed them up and sent them to Zhang Kun’s car.
“Slow down on the road, Zixuan and I won’t wait for you to eat dinner tonight.” Li Xu discussed with Zhang Kun through the car window.
“Alright, you don’t have to wait for us. We’ll be back at least eight o’clock.” Zhang Kun started the car and urged her,” ‘It’s cold outside. You should go back quickly. You can still get some sleep.
Li Xu laughed, “I’m not sleeping anymore. It’s time to cook. Zixuan will wake up soon.”
She raised her hand and waved at them, “Bye-bye!”
The siblings in the backseat leaned against each other and greeted Li Xu with a sleepy expression, “Bye, Mommy!”
Zhang Kun rolled up the car window and drove off with the two of them.
Li Xu stood rooted to the ground. After the car disappeared, she gathered her clothes and turned around to go upstairs.
As for Zhang Kun, he was hoping the two little fellows could talk to him so he wouldn’t feel sleepy on the road.
Who knew that not long after they set off, the siblings would snuggle up in the backseat and sleep soundly?
Through the rearview mirror, Zhang Kun looked at the two of them and shook his head helplessly.
They left early in the morning, so the traffic wasn’t too congested.
They set off at 6:30 and arrived at Qin Junshan at around 7:10.
Zhang Kun put down the two children and did not have the time to greet Qin Junshan. He directly turned the car around and left.
If he didn’t leave now, he would be late.
He reached out and pressed the doorbell.
Soon, the nanny, Xiao Qi, came over and opened the door.
“You’re early? Come in, have you eaten?”
Ji Zi’ang entered first and asked, “Grandpa Qin, when will Brother Mucheng arrive?”
Ji Yuanyuan followed behind him and smiled at Xiao Qi, “Auntie Qi, we haven’t eaten yet!”
Xiao Qi immediately looked at Qin Junshan, “Then, you should accompany the children to have some porridge. I’ll make another plate of fried dumplings.”
Qin Junshan nodded at the nanny, Xiao Qi, “Alright, make more.”
Then, she looked at Ji Ziang, “It’s probably in the afternoon. Brother Xiao Li went to B City yesterday and brought your Aunt back.”
“That’s great!” Ji Zi’ang cheered up, “I can see two people I haven’t seen in a long time.”
Qin Junshan smiled and asked, “Where’s Zixuan? Why didn’t Zixuan come over?”
In the past, the three children would come together. Why were there only two today? Qin Junshan muttered in his heart.
At the mention of Ji Zixuan, his face scrunched up, “My Big Brother is in trouble. It’s already the holidays, but he still has to go to cla.s.s!”
“Cla.s.ses? What cla.s.s?” Qin Junshan asked curiously.
“Anyway, it’s a very powerful cla.s.s.” Ji Ziang said casually.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan quickly added, “It’s the Mathematical Olympiad training school. My mother wants my brother to partic.i.p.ate in the Mathematical Olympiad compet.i.tion next year.”
Qin Junshan nodded thoughtfully, “That’s right. Your brother is just like Mucheng. He’s born to learn.”
Ji Zi’ang looked at him and joked, “Grandpa Qin, are you trying to sell your melon?”
Qin Junshan laughed, “How is it that I’m the one selling melons? Aren’t 1 telling the truth?”
Ji Zi’ang chuckled and did not continue.
Xiao Qi, the nanny, quickly prepared breakfast. The three of them sat together and finished their breakfast while chatting and laughing.
After breakfast, a call came from B City.
It was Cheng Shuqin, “Mucheng and the others had already set off. They should be arriving around noon.”
It’s already noon, and it was beyond their expectation.
“Make a few more dishes for lunch,” Qin Junshan immediately instructed Xiao Qi., “Mucheng and Miaomiao will be back for lunch.”
Xiao Qi, the nanny, smiled and said, “Got it. 1’11 make more of Mucheng’s favorite dishes. He doesn’t like sweet food and sour food.”
Qin Junshan nodded in satisfaction, “Yes, make more of Mucheng’s favorite food.”
Ever since Cheng Shuqin made this call, Qin Junshan had been restless.
He knew that it was impossible, but he went out every half an hour to see if they had come.
He had walked back and forth countless times.
They waited from eight o’clock to twelve o’clock, but Xiao Li’s car still didn’t come back.
Qin Junshan simply did not enter the house and waited at the entrance.
Seeing that he was burning with anxiety, Ji Zi’ang and Ji Yuanyuan also brought a stool out and waited outside with Qin Junshan.
Xiao Li’s car only appeared not far away at around 12:30 pm.
Qin Junshan stood up from his chair excitedly, “It’s Mucheng. Mucheng and the others are back.”
Ji Yuanyuan could understand Qin Junshan’s feelings.
Ever since Qin Junshan returned from B City in the first month of this year, he had not seen Qin Mucheng again.
During the summer break, Qin Mucheng went to the summer camp and could not come over.
It had been almost a year since they had met. Wasn’t it exciting?
In fact, Ji Yuanyuan was also quite excited now. She was not much calmer than Qin Junshan.
The car approached from afar and quickly stopped at the entrance.
Although Xiao Li was young, he was a steady driver, even more so than Gong Wenbai.
After the car was parked, he impatiently went forward and opened the backseat door.
“Brother Mucheng!” when Ji Zi’ang saw Qin Mucheng, his eyes lit up.
Qin Mucheng smiled at him and greeted him, “Zi’ang!”
Hearing this, Ji Zi’ang’s expression became even more surprised, “Brother Mucheng, your voice…”
Hearing the voice, Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised.
Speaking of which, she had not spoken to Qin Mucheng on the phone for more than a month.
More than a month ago, Qin Mucheng’s voice was still hoa.r.s.e and hoa.r.s.e.
But now, it had become a deep ba.s.s.
Qin Mucheng nodded and got out of the car. He looked at Qin Junshan and Ji Yuanyuan.
“Grandpa, Yuanyuan, I’m back!” he whispered.
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng’s change in the past year was very obvious.
Not only did his voice sound better, but he also grew taller and his face seemed to have grown.
For a moment, Ji Yuanyuan was stunned.
Qin Mucheng could not help but laugh when he saw Ji Yuanyuan’s expression,
“I brought you a gift. Do you want to see it now?”
Ji Yuanyuan came back to her senses and her ears were a little red. She quickly said, “Let’s eat first. You must be hungry after taking the trip all the way, right?”
Just as they were talking, Li Miao, who was in the pa.s.senger seat, also got out.
Qin Junshan greeted them happily, “Come in quickly. Xiao Qi has already prepared lunch. If there’s anything, let’s talk after dinner..”
