who's next

The weather has been gloomy for several days in a row, and the sky is covered with a layer of white mist. Ji Huai originally planned to go out to pick up some materials, but seeing this ghostly weather, he lost his mood.

During the Chinese New Year studio holiday, Chi Yan was not idle, and ran to grandma's house every three days.The time Ji Huai spends alone at home is the same as before, but some things are different.

For example, she began to care about Ji Huai's emotional problems.

At night, the mother and son were eating quietly at the dining table, and Chi Yan casually mentioned: "Yesterday, I heard from your Aunt Tang that Zhou Zhou had a girlfriend?"

Ji Huai concentrated on eating meat without raising his eyelids: "Yes."

Chi Yan put down his chopsticks and rested his chin with one hand: "Then do you have a girl you like?"

"No." Ji Huai replied extremely briefly and decisively.

Chi Yan stared in surprise: "You haven't since childhood?"

Ji Huai wanted to say that I was still in women's clothing at the age of the first teenage love affair, but he was afraid of stimulating Chi Yan, so he changed his words: "You can't fall in love early."

Chi Yan sighed softly: "Then you can talk now, you're going to be an intern right away, and college is complete only after experiencing a love affair."

A little impatience appeared between Ji Huai's brows: "Dating a relationship is not the completion of a task, and I do have someone."

Chi Yan became more and more puzzled: "But you didn't mean that you don't have any girls you like?"

"Because my partner is a man."

Chi Yan was at a loss for words for a moment, silently lowered her head to eat, and the living room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After eating, Ji Huai returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed thinking for a long time. He felt that it was necessary to let Ruan Yuchen know that he had been exposed.

When the news was sent, Ruan Yuchen was cooking instant noodles. When he saw the news, his hands shook like Parkinson's, and all the powder packets were scattered on the floor.He cleaned up the kitchen in a hurry, and immediately called Ji Huai back.

"Is this plot developing too fast? I'm not ready yet!"

Ji Huai didn't understand, so: "My mother just mentioned this topic, so I said it naturally."

Ruan Yuchen scratched his hair frantically: "But I'm cowardly!"

Ji Huai watched coldly: "I don't see you being cowardly when you talk coquettishly."

"Can it be compared? If it's the same in front of you as it is in front of your mother, then I'm afraid I'm not far from death."

Ji Huai: "You seem to have misunderstood. My mother didn't say she wanted to see you, she just knew that I have a boyfriend."

"That's it." Ruan Yuchen felt relieved, but at the same time was mixed with a bit of imperceptible loss, "Then I can rest assured."

"Have you lived in the apartment yet? I probably have to wait more than ten days before going to school."

"Okay, wait for you."

After a night, Ji Huai opened the door sleepily and saw Chi Yan sitting on the sofa in a daze.She looked up when she heard the sound, and smiled at Ji Huai: "Go to the terrace to have breakfast, and talk about your partner by the way."

The terrace is full of climbing vine roses, but before the flowering period, a few sparse leaves stand among the withered vines, which is not pretty.I am afraid that only artists have such a sentiment to eat breakfast outdoors in winter.

The bone-piercing cold wind blew on Ji Huai's face like a knife, his whole body trembled, and his mind instantly became clear.

"Drink some hot milk to warm your body." Chi Yan maintained a dignified and elegant posture at all times. She picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip before getting to the point, "Is he your classmate?"

Ji Huai picked up tons of milk and drank it a few times, with milk froth on his upper lip: "No, he is five years older than me, and he is a game anchor."

Chi Yan nodded slightly: "It's better to be older, I can take care of you."

"He takes good care of me." Ji Huai rubbed his thin pajamas, "Mom, can we come in and chat? I don't have a fur coat."

Chi Yan laughed dumbly: "I'm sorry, I thought you would like it."

After entering the room, the heating enveloped every inch of Ji Huai's skin, sweeping away the severe cold outside, and he came back to life.

"Actually, there's nothing to say. If it suits you, stay together. If it doesn't suit you, break up. I'm not like you. I can't live without my lover. Love is the seasoning in my life. Even if there is no seasoning, rice still needs to be food."

This was the first time that Ji Huai pointed out Chi Yan's problem to the point. He knew that Chi Yan was worried that he would encounter setbacks.But they are fundamentally different, even if they encounter the same setbacks, Ji Huai will not follow her path.

Chi Yan's eyes were a little wet, and she wiped away her tears in a panic: "I..."

Ji Huai paused for a moment, then stepped forward to help her wipe away tears: "It's so ugly."

Chi Yan smiled through tears: "You're ugly even if you don't cry, mom is getting old."

Ji Huai shook his head solemnly: "Not old."

Chi Yan patted his face, took a deep breath and said, "Is your partner free recently? Let him come to your house for a while?"

Ji Huai's only reaction at that time was: Oh, it's over.

Chi Yan didn't wait too long. After Ji Huai and Ruan Yuchen talked about it, he rang the doorbell of Ji Huai's house at noon that day with gift boxes of all sizes.

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Ruan Yuchen, and I'm Ji Huai's boyfriend. Please rest assured, in the future when Ji Huai follows me, he will definitely eat meat and I will eat steamed buns!"

Ji Huai: "..."

Chi Yan seemed quite satisfied with Ruan Yuchen, so he invited people in and went to make some tea.

Ruan Yuchen was sitting on pins and needles, his eyes couldn't find a place to settle, he turned sideways stiffly and asked Ji Huai in a low voice: "Am I doing okay?"

Ji Huai glanced at him speechlessly: "Yes."

Ruan Yuchen talked a lot when he was nervous, and he muttered again: "I don't know your mother's hobbies. I bought all the supplements and skin care products. There are also some painting materials, which I don't understand. I will buy whatever the shopping guide brings. What."

Ji Huai was speechless again: "You really are a fool with a lot of money."

Because there were guests, and Ji Huai was the cook for lunch, Chi Yan wanted to help, but was pushed out of the kitchen by him.Then Ji Huai stood at the door and gave Ruan Yuchen a look, and he immediately slipped into the kitchen to whisper.

"Don't be too nervous, my mother won't eat you again."

"I'm afraid your mother won't trust you to hand you over to me."

"No need, she might want to keep you for a few days."

"?"

"You, you should feel at ease now."

Although the meal was sumptuous, Ruan Yuchen's meal was tasteless.

He couldn't sleep well for a long time before, and even if he established a relationship with Ji Huai, he didn't feel safe.Ji Huai did not fully accept him, and did not disclose his existence in the social circle.Ruan Yuchen was always in fear, afraid of Ji Huai's sudden repentance.

Ruan Yuchen thought that the cover-up was perfect, with almost no loopholes, but somehow Ji Huai saw through it.

When Chi Yan mentioned relationship issues, Ji Huaida could deal with them casually, but he chose to confess, which meant that he also valued this relationship, not just talking.

"Xiao Ruan eats whatever she wants, treat it like she's at home, don't be too restrained."

"Oh good." Chi Yan's voice brought back Ruan Yuchen's drifting thoughts, he nodded repeatedly, and then habitually picked up a piece of shiny braised pork and put it in Ji Huai's bowl, "You eat too."

Ji Huai avoided Chi Yan's meaningful gaze, and slowly picked up the meat and stuffed it into his mouth.The fresh and sweet gravy explodes in the mouth, and the smoothness of fat meat and the firmness of lean meat blend together to form a mouthfeel that melts in the mouth.

"Xiao Ruan just stay at our house for a few days if you have nothing else to do? Let Xiao Huai show you around."

"Cough cough cough..." Ruan Yuchen coughed suddenly and looked at Ji Huai with shock written all over his face.

Time went back to three hours ago.

"Is your partner free recently? Ask him to come and sit at home?"

"He's been quite free recently. If you don't mind, you can stay with him for a few more days to facilitate all-round investigation."
