MTL - Peach and Plum Do Not Speak (The Silent Cherry And Plum Blossoms)-Chapter 90
After Grandpa Yan was discharged from the hospital, his mental state was okay, but after all, he was old and the recovery period was very long. It took time for Brother Yan to transfer his work, and others consciously increased the time they stayed in the old house.
Yan Xi received a call from Gao Jiming to visit.
He returned to China a month ago and worked as the head of the technical department in Shengda Games. He bought a house in Beicheng and settled down officially.
The whole family happened to be there that day. He was wearing a gray knitted sweater. He was tall and straight, with deep eyebrows, witty speech and good chatting skills.
This was the first time An Zhi saw him, watching him talk to Grandpa Yan softly and sit next to Yan Xi. She didn't want to admit it, but they were a good match.
Liu Yiyi patted her shoulder, only she knew what was on her mind, and An Zhi lowered her head.
"Oh, is this An Zhi?" Gao Jiming walked over to her, "Hello, it's the first time we meet."
After all, An Zhi was too young to learn to be polite to people she didn't like. She instinctively resisted and frowned, staring at the person who came without saying a word.
On the other hand, Liu Yiyi next to him snorted, "Old Gao!"
Gao Jiming smiled at her: "Yiyi, long time no see, I haven't wished you a happy wedding."
"I've been married for almost two years." Liu Yiyi said leisurely, she didn't give him a good face, "Are you leaving now?"
"Don't go." Gao Jiming's eyes went to find Yan Xi, it was self-evident.
"Hmph, are you a prodigal son or are you unforgettable? Let me tell you, don't try to hurt Yanxi again."
Gao Jiming's eyes were a little helpless: "I am the one who was broken up."
"Oh, if you come back alone, there will still be an ex chasing you here..."
Gao Jiming shook his head with a smile. He didn't mind being teased by her at all. In the end, Liu Yiyi couldn't talk about it if he didn't reach out and hit the smiling person.
Liu Yiyi knew before that Gao Jiming was very fond of girls and would never get angry with girls. He might have been a little proud when he was young, but now he is more calm and measured at his age.
An Zhi watched coldly, feeling even more discouraged.
Probably because her eyes were too hostile, Gao Jiming looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
An Zhi nodded reluctantly: "Hello."
"I heard that you are going to college in September, congratulations to you." I don't know if it's because of An Zhiduo's heart, but I always feel that his tone is familiar, maybe he regards himself as someone who speaks, and all has the kind of condescension. The tone of admiration like an elder, but An Zhi didn't like it anyway.
A well-behaved and polite An Zhi pouted, "Oh."
Gao Jiming also wanted to tease her to say a few words, but An Zhi didn't appreciate it at all.
Liu Yiyi smirked aside.
Yan Xi came over, "What's wrong?"
Gao Jiming smiled at her sideways: "An Zhi has a lot of personality."
An Zhi took his words in his heart: No, I just hate you.
Yan Xi was about to say something when Aunt Xin came over and asked him to stay for dinner at night.
Tonight is also their family banquet. Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan are eating with them downstairs. Big and big fat came back from the boarding school, and Yan Yidong also rushed back.
An Zhi felt uncomfortable in his heart. Looking up at Yan Xi, Gao Jiming also asked her with a smile, as if to say, "Do you agree with me to stay for dinner?"
Or "I'll see if you agree or disagree with me, so I can find out what's on your mind"
She saw Yan Xi looking back at him, her eyes hard to read, An Zhi tried her best to distinguish what was different in her eyes.
"Aunt Xin, no need, he will leave in a moment." Yan Xi said.
"Ah? Stay and have dinner together. It's more lively." Aunt Xin advised.
At this time, Gao Jiming chuckled: "No, thank you Aunt Xin, I really have something to do." Then his eyes returned to Yan Xi's face: "I hope to have a chance next time."
Yan Qi stared at him coldly for a few seconds: "I'll send you out."
Gao Jiming didn't mind being kicked out at all, instead he pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay."
They walked over together, Gao Jiming said goodbye to Grandpa Yan and the others, Big and Little Fat was bought by his game, and he was already asking when he would come again, and was reprimanded by the adults.
An Zhi looked sadly at the back of them walking out together. Yan Xi in her memory always appeared alone, either with her family or with her. She had never seen the scene of Yan Xi walking with the man with her own eyes.
This Gao Jiming is not quite the same as Liao Chengyu. He caused Yan Xi a lot of emotions, and he was even able to distract her. Yan Xi didn't even look at her or say a word to her just now. In her presence, Yan Xi did not see her.
An Zhi stood there in panic.
Liu Yiyi could only sigh when she saw it.
Yan Xi sent Gao Jiming to the place where his car was parked, and said, "If there is nothing in the future, you won't come to my house."
"I'm so unwelcome?" Gao Jiming said with a light smile.
"What are you trying to do?" Yan Xi raised his eyebrows.
"I want to get you back," he said bluntly.
Yan Xi paused and turned his face to one side, revealing his white neck: "The past is gone."
"I wanted to come to you last month, but there are a lot of trivial matters in the house and the company, and grandpa has just finished surgery, I know you must be very hard..."
"Yanxi, I'm back, and I'm never leaving again."
"Why do you think I'll agree? You don't think I've been single all these years just waiting for you, right?" Yan Xi looked back at him, her eyes lightened.
Gao Jiming knew that this question must be answered cautiously: "How dare I think so, I admit, I am surprised and surprised to know that you are single."
"I told you that you may not believe it. After Alex and I broke off our marriage, I never had a relationship. There were some people by my side, but none of them felt heartbroken. No one has made me feel so moved and heartbroken like you. "
Gao Jiming always speaks love words. When they were together, Yan Xi was also intoxicated by his tenderness and affection.
When he speaks, his eyes will stare at you, unknowingly bringing you into his context, making you believe everything and be moved by it.
When Yan Xi heard the word "heartache", his heart trembled slightly, and there were waves in his eyes.
"I'm a fool, and I've only returned to China now," he said with firm eyes, "I will prove it to you with practical actions, so that you can accept me again."
When Yan Xi walked into the restaurant, everyone had already started eating. Grandpa Yan beckoned to her, Yan Xi walked to her side and sat down.
"Auntie, could Uncle Gao be our uncle?" Big Fat asked.
"Well, he looks good." Fatty echoed.
As soon as this statement came out, the adults at the table had different reactions.
An Zhi's hand holding the bowl trembled.
Yan Yidong, who was sitting opposite Yan Xi, scolded: "You two, don't talk too much! And... hum! I haven't forgiven Gao Jiming yet!"
Next to him, sister-in-law Yan was holding Junjun and feeding him: "Tell the children not to talk too much, you are not talking too much!"
Yan Yidong: "…"
Yan Xiaochuan looked at his deflated father, covered his mouth and laughed.
"It is clear that these years have been calmer." Grandpa Yan said suddenly. As soon as he opened his mouth, the older children were all thoughtful. Anzhi put the bowl down.
But Fatty Yan seemed to have seized the opportunity and said smartly, "Grandpa, do you also think Uncle Gao can be our uncle?"
"Oh, you are so annoying, fat man, do you have a girlfriend?" Liu Yiyi looked at Anzhi worriedly and said.
Big Fatty proudly wanted to say yes, but unexpectedly, his parents, who were still bickering just now, cast their eyes on him for interrogation. The huge pressure made him shut up, and he was even elbowed by Little Fatty next to him.
On the opposite side of the fat man, Yan Yinan only focused on sending WeChat messages, completely ignoring the topic at the dinner table. When he heard the topic ending in "girlfriend," he stared at the screen of his mobile phone and raised his hand: "I have a girlfriend, and I have a full-time friend. The best and most beautiful girlfriend in the world."
"Hey... Doctor Yu is great, but not the most beautiful, right?" Liu Yiyi raised her chin.
Yan Yinan glared at her: "Anyway, she is the most beautiful in my eyes."
Liu Yiyi also glared back at him, until Yan Yixi, who was beside her, gave her a chopstick of beef, she shrugged and let him go.
The restaurant was bustling with excitement and grandma Yan was not in the state. She put down the spoon of porridge and asked Grandpa Yan in a low voice, "Who is it?"
Grandpa Yan asked softly, "Is the porridge too hot?" He touched the side of the bowl; "Fortunately, do you want some pickles?"
In Yan Xi's memory, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan had gray hair. In the past few years, they were completely white and sparse, their legs and feet were less flexible, and their movements became slow.
Yan Xi wanted to say something, but when he saw them all, he couldn't say a word. She let out a long sigh in her heart, and her mind was completely smashed into a ball.
"Oh, I remembered, it's Xiao Wu's boyfriend." Grandma Yan's soft and insensitive eyes swept across the dining table. She paused at the back of the dining room, then swept back and stared at Yan Xi carefully. Only then did she recognize her: "Xiao Wu, grandma almost forgot."
Yan Xi looked at her face and pursed the corners of her lips, but she couldn't object.
However, after a while, the table had put aside this topic, and chattered another topic. Yan Xi lowered his head and poked the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks. Yan Xi frowned, originally wanting to put up his hand to support his chin, but suddenly slumped on the side of his face.
She hadn't heard An Zhi's words since she started, and she looked for her.
Sitting there quietly, the girl in the light lowered her head, her eyelashes drooped softly, surrounded by lively voices, only she was slowly silent in such a background.
In the past two years, the relationship between Yan Xi and An Zhi has not been in a good state. She is coquettish and cheating with her at one time, angry with her at other times, and very obedient and considerate at other times. She has never been able to feel her emotions accurately and timely.
But at this moment, she really felt her loneliness, and there was something else very heavy...
Yan Xi's heart tingled without warning. When she wanted to call her, An Zhi suddenly pulled the plate in front of her, and then Yan Xi watched her pick up a large piece of green pepper and stuff it into her mouth.
Yan Xi was stunned.
She looked at An Zhi so hot that tears flowed out, exhaled, stuck out her tongue, covered her mouth, stood up, and fled the restaurant.
Yan Xi's heart hurt so much, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
