The dinner atmosphere was very harmonious. Ji Beichen drank some wine with several elders.

The father-in-law saw that his brother's seat was empty and asked, "Where did this kid go?"

Qiao Yue replied, "I went out to answer the phone."

My father-in-law muttered, "What phone call did you answer? Why did you take so long..."

While my brother was away, my mother-in-law said, "I always feel that this child doesn't look very happy these past two days. Is he worried about something?"

My father-in-law continued, "That's what puberty is like. Beichen was the same at that time. He didn't want to say anything."

Ji Beichen: "Why are you bringing this up to me again?"

The mother-in-law laughed and said to him: "You can't even say anything. You're almost going to be a father, but you're still so stingy."

Ji Beichen joked: "Then you, who is going to be a grandmother, please be fair and don't be partial. Just talk about me and not others."

Grandma smiled and said, "Now when I think about having two grandsons or granddaughters, I am so happy that I wake up with laughter in my dreams."

My father-in-law and Grandpa Ji agreed and nodded with a smile.

The mother-in-law has already begun to look forward to how to raise her grandson. She said: "When I buy things now, I buy two of the same color, so that they won't fight over it."

My father-in-law continued, "When you go abroad, find time to go to an auction and buy something for the child."

Mother-in-law: "And Yueyue!"

Father-in-law: “Yes, yes, yes.”

Qiao Yue and Ji Beichen looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Ji Beichen said, "Dad, Mom, you guys should discuss giving gifts to them in person. Shouldn't you give them some surprises or something?"

The mother-in-law said generously: "What's the surprise? We are a family, we don't need those things, just give it directly!"

Ji Beichen was convinced, "Okay."

After dinner, the family moved and sat in the living room.

My mother-in-law asked the maid to cut some fruit and brought it over so we could drink tea and chat.

Grandpa Ji took out a Xinhua Dictionary and said that he wanted to come up with a few names for the baby and let Ji Beichen and his wife choose one.

When it comes to naming, everyone is very enthusiastic and the discussion is lively.

Qiao Yue noticed that her younger brother had been in the garden and had not come in.

She patted Ji Beichen's arm and whispered, "Do you want to go out and see what's wrong with your brother? He hasn't come in yet."

Ji Beichen didn't care. "Why are you looking at him? If he doesn't want to come in, just let him stay outside by himself."

Qiao Yue: "Tsk, why don't you care about your brother? He seems to be in a low mood."

Ji Beichen: "He is an adult now, he can handle it himself, I don't have time to coax him."

Qiao Yue was speechless. She pulled Ji Beichen up and said to the elders, "I'm too full. Let's go for a walk in the garden."

Grandma smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Qiao Yue took Ji Beichen to the garden.

As soon as they arrived at the garden, the couple saw the younger brother.

He sat on a bench in the distance, his head drooping, swiping on his phone in his hand.

Seeing his brother's depressed look, Ji Beichen also began to feel strange, "What's wrong with him? His grades are good, why is he so upset?"

Qiao Yue leaned close to his ear and said, "I just accidentally glanced at it and the caller ID showed a girl's name."

Ji Beichen raised his eyebrows and understood immediately, "This boy, is he in love for the first time?"

Qiao Yue smiled and spread her hands, "I don't know."

There are twinkling stars in the dark sky, and under the stars, sits a melancholy boy.

Ji Beichen raised his chin and pulled Qiao Yue, "Come on, let's go over and take care of this melancholy boy."

Qiao Yue smiled and followed him.

The two men walked up to their younger brother and sat down on his left and right sides respectively.

The younger brother then noticed the two of them and looked up at them, "What are you doing?"

Ji Beichen asked him back: "What are you doing? You ran out in the middle of the meal and stayed here instead of going in."

The younger brother was in a bad mood and said to him directly, "I'm just going to come out and sit for a while, you don't have to bother me."

Ji Beichen smiled and said, "Are you in a bad mood? Come on, talk to your brother, I promise not to laugh at you."

The younger brother replied mercilessly: "Thank you, I don't need it."

Since being tactful didn't work, Ji Beichen decided to ask directly, "Who was that girl who called you just now?"

His brother looked at him in shock, "You looked at my phone?!"

Qiao Yue immediately felt guilty.

But luckily, Ji Beichen was very considerate and took the blame for her. "I just glanced at it accidentally and saw it. I didn't peek. Who wants to look at the phone of a little kid like you?"

The younger brother said speechlessly, "None of your business is my business, so stop asking."

Ji Beichen began to make bold guesses: "Could it be that... your confession failed?!"

His brother glared at him, "You failed! You didn't confess! Don't make random guesses!"

Ji Beichen said, "If you didn't confess, it means you don't dare to confess. You don't even dare to confess, are you so cowardly? You look like this, although not as handsome as me, but you are still okay, be more confident, and confess to the person if you like him."

My brother didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Ji Beichen continued to guess, "Could it be that you don't want to confess to her because you think you're going abroad?"

Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed across his brother's face, as if he had been guessed, "Brother, can you shut up?"

Ji Beichen's patience was almost exhausted, and he said with disdain: "When you were a child, you were like a follower, always following me and calling me brother. Now that you have grown up, you don't need my care anymore. You have really made it."

Qiao Yue said to him, "You too, you asked so directly, how would my brother answer?"

Ji Beichen folded his hands, "Okay, then you come."

Qiao Yue thought for a moment, looked at her brother and asked, "Do you like that girl?"

younger brother:"……"

Ji Beichen smiled, "Do you think you asked very politely?"

Qiao Yue: "I... oh, being euphemistic is such a waste of time."

My brother was completely speechless and said, "If you and your wife have nothing to do, go home and sleep early, and don't disturb me here."

He was about to stand up and leave, but was stopped by Qiao Yue.

"Don't leave. Come on, sit with us for a while. Just treat it as if you were accompanying your two nephews."

The younger brother thought about it and, for the sake of his two little nephews, continued to sit there without moving.

Ji Beichen said to Qiao Yue: "If he doesn't want to talk, what can we do? Just let him be."

Qiao Yue winked at him and said, "I won't ask anything. Let's just chat for a while."

Ji Beichen received it: "Okay."

Seeing that her brother did not resist, Qiao Yue continued speaking.

She asked Ji Beichen: "Honey, America is quite far away, right? It takes more than ten hours to fly there, and there is also a time difference."

Ji Beichen responded, "Yes."

Qiao Yue added, "If we didn't get married right after we met, but were in a relationship and were in different countries, with you in the United States and me in China, what would you do?"

Ji Beichen: "Need I say more? Of course I will fly back to see you often."

Hearing this, my brother was touched.

Qiao Yue smiled and continued, "Husband, have you ever thought about giving up this relationship, or simply not being with me from the beginning?"

Ji Beichen understood what Qiao Yue meant and replied, "I haven't thought about it at all."

Qiao Yue asked, "Why?"

Ji Beichen: "Because I won't be willing to give up. Because I like you very much, so I don't want to give up."

Qiao Yue continued, "Yes, if you don't try, how can you know the result? If you don't try, you will only be unwilling."

The words "unwilling" struck the younger brother's heart. He frowned, feeling very confused.

He suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to go out for a while."

Then he went straight towards the gate.

Ji Beichen looked at his back and couldn't help but worry about his brother, "Will he scare the girl by running over to confess his love at this late hour?"

Qiao Yue smiled, "That shouldn't be the case. It's reasonable for adolescence to do such things."

Ji Beichen moved his seat and sat closer to his wife: "That's right, youth should be a little crazy and silly."

Qiao Yue couldn't help but guess, "Tell me, is the girl my brother likes the one we met before?"

Ji Beichen: "Which one?"

Qiao Yue: "Oh, that's the one we saw at the school gate when we went to pick him up from school. Oh, by the way, that girl was bullied before, and my brother helped her."

Ji Beichen: "There are so many more stories."

Qiao Yue recalled, "I remember that girl was pretty, quiet and nice."

Ji Beichen laughed, "It's not like you're in love, but you picked it."

Qiao Yue: "That's what I said."

Ji Beichen smiled and looked up at the starry sky.

Qiao Yue pinched his chin and suddenly asked on impulse, "By the way, if you had met me in high school, what would you have done?"

Ji Beichen looked at her and said, "This kind of hypothetical question is difficult to answer."

Qiao Yue: "I don't care, you just have to answer."

Ji Beichen: "Of course... I confessed to you right away. Just like I said just now, if I didn't catch you at that time, I'm afraid I would be unwilling."

Qiao Yue smiled gently, then leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

Ji Beichen touched the hair by her ear and leaned over to kiss her.
