Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

With the return of grandparents, aunt and uncle, the house became lively again. The listless Langge was out of place in the family atmosphere.

Ji Shumiao poked his face with his finger: "Monster! Get off my brother! Give me back my sunny and cheerful brother!"

Ji Shulang raised his eyelids, not in the mood to argue with her at all, and dragged his heavy legs back to his room.

Ji Shumiao shouted towards the kitchen: "Aunt, my brother seems to be broken~~~"

"Yo~" Ji Shiqian let out an exclamation like Sun Wukong, his face showing an expression of excitement that he couldn't suppress, "How rare! I have to go and see it."

Ji Shiqian knocked on the door: "Son, talk to daddy about the troubles of growing up. I didn't have time to talk to you before. Hurry and open the door."

Ji Shumiao grabbed a bag of melon seeds and followed: "I think..."

Ji Shulang, who opened the door, interrupted her coldly: "No, you don't want to."

After Ji Shiqian went in, he slammed the door in front of Ji Shumiao. Ji Shumiao, who was turned away, pouted and turned to complain to her aunt.

The story began a few days ago. Ji Shulang, who came back from Guangdong, brought a gift to Xu Jinhuan. This time he didn't dare to ask someone to pass it on, but instead tried every means to block Xu Jinhuan on her way home from school.

"And then? You were rejected?" Ji Shiqian's tone was filled with the joy of taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

Ji Shulang said with a sad face: "More than that."

Ji Shulang had prepared a confession for the National Day holiday, thinking about formally confessing to Xu Jinhuan. Before he could finish a sentence, Xu Jinhuan interrupted him indifferently: "I don't like you. If you continue to cause trouble to my life, this dislike will develop into hatred."

Ji Shulang was puzzled and surprised: "I like you, why don't you like me? Is it because of Gao Mandong? If you are afraid that she will be unhappy, I can explain to her."

Xu Jinhuan's expression was somewhat speechless: "If you don't like me, then you don't like me. Do you need a reason? Is your liking something so rare and extraordinary? Just because you like me, do I have to be grateful and excited to accept it?"

Ji Shulang stood there in a daze. He suddenly realized that he might not understand the girl he liked at all. Xu Jinhuan might be gentle and reserved, but her spiritual core was by no means gentle and introverted.

"Your liking for me is as shallow as your understanding of me." Xu Jinhuan said this and left, leaving decisively without any reluctance.

After hearing this, Ji Shiqian burst into laughter without hesitation: "Okay, okay, this girl is great, she has ideas and personality!"

Ji Shulang asked with a gloomy face: "Can you stop laughing?"

Ji Shiqian told him with laughter—no.

Ji Shiqian laughed enough before asking earnestly, "So you are hit hard?"

"Yeah." Ji Shulang nodded and muttered softly, "I have always been popular with girls. In Inner Mongolia and Beijing, many girls wrote me love letters. I don't understand why she doesn't like me."

"Do you want to hear Dad's advice as a person who has experienced this?"

Ji Shulang's eyes lit up and he perked up instantly: "Tell me, how did you catch up with my mom back then?"

Ji Zhenhua said seriously: "I suggest you stay away from girls."

"I don't accept your suggestion." Lang Ge said with a straight face, "I just like her, I only like her, and I want to be with her."

"She doesn't like you, and your behavior has caused her trouble. This is not love, this is selfishness." Ji Shiqian said gently and forcefully, "And what is your definition of 'together'? What result do you want? Do you want her to accept your confession and fall in love with you?"

"What's wrong with falling in love too early? You and my mom also fell in love too early."

Ji Shiqian chuckled: "Humph, you little brat. Your mother liked me back then, too. We were in love with each other. Is that of any reference value to you?"

Ji Shulang was so choked that he couldn't speak.

"Also, premature love is not good. In the past, the spitting could drown a person. Your mother and I only liked each other in our hearts. We didn't dare to look at each other even on the street. We had to walk on two ridges when passing through the rice fields. I was worried for more than two years. I didn't dare to go to your grandparents' house until your mother became an adult."

Talking about those green years, Ji Shiqian rubbed his fingers in his trouser pocket, wanting to take out a cigarette. Then he remembered that he had quit smoking for a long time, so he picked up a gel pen from the desk and clamped it between his middle finger and index finger.

"Even if you get what you want and have a premature love affair with a girl, our family is open-minded, but will the school and her parents agree? How many rumors will the girl have to face? Do you have the ability to protect her? Can you bear all the responsibilities now?"

Ji Shulang lowered his head and remained silent.

Ji Shiqian patted his shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully. Don't be selfish and drag the girl into the fire just for your own pleasure. If she doesn't like you now, you should wait patiently. You have a long time to live together. Don't rush. When you grow up to be a real man, if you still like the girl, dad will kneel at her doorstep to propose to you."

Ji Shulang laughed helplessly: "You mean, I'm not a man yet."

"Yes!" Ji Shiqian stood up and ruffled his hair. "You're still a little boy. Listen to your father. Liking won't last forever. Only love can. You have to love like a man."

Ji Shulang sighed and said nothing more, but he had already accepted his father's advice in his heart.

Saturday, April 10.

The programming competition that Zhou Hui and Luo Yixuan had prepared for for a long time finally entered the finals. Both of them won awards, Zhou Hui won the second prize and Luo Yixuan won the first prize.

As Zhou Hui came down from the podium, the envelope containing the prize money in his hand was immediately snatched away by Ji Shumiao.

Ji Shumiao held up the envelope and said to his friends, "It's my treat tonight for a seafood dinner~"

Zhou Hui held the award certificate in his arms, smiled helplessly, and whispered to Ji Shulang: "Look at your sister."

Brother Lang is proud: "I am thick-skinned and won't starve, which is good."

It was still early after the seafood dinner, and Li Xiang happened to be there too, so Ji Shumiao dragged everyone to Tonghuali for a meeting to plan a plan - she wanted to make the first female-oriented game in China.

There was a homeless man squatting at the entrance of Tonghuali. Ji Shumiao hid behind Brother Lang in disgust: "Brother, come on!"

The "homeless man" raised his head, pulled down the hood of his coat to reveal his messy red hair, and smiled at them: "Hey, long time no see!"

Luo Kai?!
