The end of May is Ji Jiu's graduation ceremony. For this reason, her parents who are far away in China have booked the plane ticket in advance and prepared to fly to celebrate her, and take the opportunity to take a vacation.

Before departure, Ji Jiu received a call from her mother, clearly instructing her: "Bring your boyfriend with you when you pick up the plane, your father and I both want to meet."

Ji Jiu: "..."

She glanced at John, who had just sat down for dinner, and explained distressedly: "I don't think he has time. The police are always busy with cases."

"We arrived at the airport in the evening of local time. Should we get off work?" The mother sighed, "Anyway, we will come together when we are free. Oh yes, there is one more thing."

"Huh?" Ji Jiu responded, sat down at the table with the freshly brewed black tea, and just took a sip when she answered the phone: "Xiaolang and Xiaoying will also go with us, you first clear the room. Clean up everything, you know?"

Ji Jiu was both surprised and delighted: "Hey really?"

"What are you doing lying to you?"

"Wow, then I need to buy some room aromatherapy, and cakes, Sakura likes sweets."

"Ji Zishu." The mother paused for a moment, and said with hatred, "When did you care so much about your parents?"

Ji Jiu nodded solemnly: "I have already tidied up the old man's room, and even lighted your favorite jasmine fragrance. Everything is ready, and I only owe the old man the wind."

Mother: "..."

Ji Jiu was obviously in a good mood. John finished packing the dishes and returned to the table, seeing that she had just hung up the phone and wrote something in the memo.

"Didn't I say that my parents would come over? My cousin and sister-in-law will be here too." Ji Jiu looked up at him, her dark eyes sparkling, "Are you free to pick them up with me? In three days' time night."

John raised his eyebrows and smiled: "There is no appointment now, but you know it."

He didn't continue, but Ji Jiu understood that his timetable was full of uncertainties, who knew if a number would pop up suddenly?

She responded without paying attention: "I told my mother the same way, let's see when the time comes." She lowered her head again, thinking about typing in the memo, "Looks like I have to go to the supermarket tomorrow .”

John hugged her from behind and glanced at the shopping list on the screen: "It looks like there are quite a few, do you need help?"

Ji Jiu smiled, and kissed him deeply on the cheek: "If you are free."

"I'll try my best." John kissed her, his voice became a little vague, "I'll tell you in advance if there's something to do."

As a result, when Ji Jiuyi woke up the next day, he saw the text message John had sent a long time ago - there are still numbers to deal with today.

She pushed the trolley to the supermarket by herself, but when she was queuing up to check out, Peter Parker called and asked her if she was not at home.

"I'm in a big supermarket nearby." Ji Jiu explained briefly, and then heard him say: "Oh! Oh! I know where it is, I'll go find you."

When Peter appeared, Ji Jiu just paid the money and hung two full plastic bags on the trolley.The boy stepped forward quickly and helped her hold the cart: "Wow, you bought a lot of things! Are they all for one person?"

"My parents and my cousin and sister-in-law are coming in two days. These are all prepared to welcome them." Panting, Ji Jiu straightened up, looked at him and said, "Why did you come here on purpose?"

Peter was much taller than when we last met, and he was already at the height level of an adult male.Ji Jiu had to raise his head to speak, Peter bent slightly, and took the armrest of the cart from her by the way: "Oh! Didn't you lend me a few movie discs last time? I finished watching them all, come and return them you."

Ji Jiu thanked him again and again: "You don't need to come here on purpose. But it's really helpful, it's hard to push back so many things by yourself."

Peter rubbed his head and said with a shy smile, "It's all right." After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Congratulations on your graduation, Jiu. Do you have any plans for the future?"

"Hmm... For the time being, I want to go out with my parents for a while." Ji Jiu rubbed the tip of his nose, "Try to find a job later."

Peter nodded with a clear expression on his face: "After all, your boyfriend works in New York." At this point, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "Did you say that he is from the homicide squad? The last time I was on the street I saw him."

Ji Jiu was startled: "On the street? Did you see anything?"

"He seems to be following someone else." Peter shrugged. "I want to say, he's quite powerful. I just took a second look before he spotted him."

Ji Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "He is indeed very powerful."

Her brows and eyes stretched out, and her normally half-drooped eyes were bent into two crescents, making that face extraordinarily vivid.

Seeing her like this, Peter also smiled and said in a slow voice, "I'm very happy for you, Jiu."

The boy looked at her seriously, with sporadic spots in his honey-colored eyes.Ji Jiu blinked slowly, and replied solemnly: "Thank you, Peter."

Finally came the day when the Ji family's elders, Xiaolang and Xiaoying went to New York.

Ji Jiu was originally prepared to go to the airport to pick them up, but he didn't expect to see John waiting at the door of the house as soon as he went out: "Do you need a ride?"

He didn't know where to get a small passenger car similar to a caravan, stretched out a hand from the driver's seat and waved, "It's big enough to accommodate six people."

Ji Jiu couldn't help but stepped forward, pretending to look at him: "How much do I need to pay for the car?"

He thought for a while before replying, "A kiss."

Ji Jiu went around to the co-driver, and John had already opened the car door for her.After she sat in, she kissed the corner of his mouth: "It's prepaid."

John looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly leaned over.

His tall figure suddenly covered her in the shadow. At such a close distance, the tips of their noses almost touched. When she raised her eyes, she could clearly see the long eyelashes on those gray-blue eyes.

His breath seemed to spill over his face, even though he was usually closer than this, Ji Jiu still felt his heart skip a beat, and subconsciously leaned against the back of the chair.

She opened her eyes wide and blinked nervously: "What, what?"

John reached over her head, pulled up the seat belt as if nothing had happened, and said innocently: "Nothing." He helped her fasten the seat belt while getting up, then held the steering wheel firmly and started the car.

Ji Jiu: "..."

Did he just snicker! ?

The car left the brownstone house and quickly drove onto the main road.When they arrived at the airport, the plane had just landed, 10 minutes earlier than scheduled.

There were people outside the exit, Ji Jiu looked at the dark head in front of him, and felt emotional: "I didn't expect that I have been in New York for two years, and I still haven't had the chance to return to China."

John looked down at her for a while, reached out and touched her head, but didn't answer.

She looked up and smiled: "Fortunately, I came to New York. Some of my classmates went to the big countryside in the Northwest, and they didn't even have good food."

John suddenly said, "The only good thing is food?"

"Well...there is also a 24-hour subway." Ji Jiu rolled his eyes and smiled like a fox, "A 24-hour supermarket is also one of them."

John waited patiently for her to continue.

Ji Jiu coughed lightly, took his arm, and a few red clouds floated on his face: "Of course the biggest benefit is already here." The voice at the back lowered, almost hidden in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, "When I first met It's really nice of you."

John held her hand back. Although he didn't speak, the expression on his face was softer.

At this time, the flow of people at the exit began to increase, presumably because new arrivals came out one after another.Ji Jiu immediately opened his eyes and searched carefully, and then saw her waving her arms excitedly to meet her.

"Wow you guys are here!"

The four came out of the crowd one after another, Ji Jiu excitedly gave Xiao Ying a bear hug, and was so frightened that his mother complained: "You little heartless!"

Sakura patted her on the back and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming to pick us up."

"It should be." She let go of her hand and introduced the man beside her to everyone, "This is John."

All eyes immediately fell on John.He nodded, and his tall figure was even more slender and upright among the crowd: "Hello."

It turned out to be a sentence in Chinese, Ji Jiu was quite surprised, and asked, "When did you learn it?"

"Just a little." He lowered his head and smiled at her, first reaching out to the two elders.

Ji's mother seemed to have just realized it, and quickly held his hand, saying repeatedly: "Hello, hello." As she spoke, she secretly bumped Ji's father with her elbow.

Ji's father shook hands with John reflexively, but he still couldn't hide his shock.Ji Jiu found that his eyes drifted towards John's forehead almost from time to time - that piece of gray hair was indeed quite obvious.

But he also understood that it was impolite, so he tried hard to hold back, until they walked towards the parking lot, he held Ji Jiu nervously, and asked her in a low voice, "Is this your boyfriend? How old is it?"

Mother Ji comforted her by the side: "Foreigners, let's look old..." It sounded unassuming.

Ji Jiu smiled indifferently: "He is born in the 70s, he is not of the same generation as your father."

"It's almost there!" Ji's father covered his face with one hand, a little broken, "You did say that you are older than you...but we didn't expect to be so much older than you."

Ji Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "There are still father-in-law and son-in-law who are the same age in Japanese dramas."

"So I should be happy?"

"Is not it?"

Father Ji: "...There's nothing wrong with it."

When returning to Ji Jiu's co-pilot, John asked her casually: "Your father seems to be frightened."

Ji Jiu waved his hand: "He has this personality, but it's easy to think about it. Our family is quite free and open."

John didn't continue the subject.When he got home, Ji Jiu sent him to help carry the luggage, and stayed downstairs to reheat the meals he had prepared in advance.

After finishing these tasks, she went upstairs to ask them to eat, but she didn't expect to see her father, mother and little wolf chatting around John.

Of course, his parents' English is not good, so Xiaolang naturally became an interpreter.

After Ji Jiu secretly hid in the door, he heard Ji's father say: "I just asked casually, what do you think of our little Jiu? It seems that the conditions are very good, why did you fall in love with my daughter..." The second half The sentence is more like muttering to yourself.

Ji Jiu: "???" What's wrong with her!

John curled his lips and said in a low voice, "She is a strong girl, brave, kind, and very attractive."

Ji Jiu was stunned for a moment, it was the first time she heard this from him, and she suddenly felt very nervous.She subconsciously held her breath, her heart beating fast.

This really works better than any love story.

Ji's father nodded and said: "I think a lot of things have happened between you." He sighed again, "I won't disagree, but I still hope you understand our parents' concerns."

"I see."

Ji Jiu knocked on the door just right at this time: "It's time to eat! I've already called Xiao Ying."

"Oh, good! Let's eat first."

The two elders rushed downstairs with relief, Ji Jiu walked in the middle, John and Xiaolang followed behind.When passing the stairs, Xiao Lang pretended to be casual and asked: "I came to New York last year, and I didn't hear Xiao Jiu mention it at the time, so you didn't know each other at that time?"

"We met shortly after she arrived in New York, but there was no point in bringing it up."

Naturally, the little wolf didn't ask any more questions, Ji Jiu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and moved a few steps behind John on purpose.The little wolf took advantage of the trend and quickened his pace to enter the first floor. Ji Jiu tilted his head and whispered, "What did they talk to you about?"

"It's nothing." John rubbed the top of her head, looked at her and said softly, "Relax, it's just a normal conversation."

Ji Jiu made a gesture of surrender: "Well, I know you can handle it."

John kissed her hair, with a smile in his voice: "Of course."

A few days later, John, the second veteran of the Ji family, invited him to have a formal meal at home, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious.

After the meal they went upstairs and didn't know what to talk about. Ji Jiu wanted to eavesdrop through to the end, but Xiao Ying said that she was going to the supermarket to buy something.

When the two came back, the conversation was over. John looked natural, but his father and the little wolf looked at her with meaningful eyes.

After that, Ji's father sighed every day: "My daughter has grown up and reached this age." While talking, he discussed with Ji's mother, "Do you think it would be better for us to follow? Otherwise, we won't see each other all year round. To people, and in the future there will be..."

The mother covered his mouth fiercely: "Why do you talk so much nonsense, you have thought too long."

Xiaolang and Xiaoying beside him couldn't help laughing.

Ji Jiu had no choice but to ask John again: "What did you say this time? My father's reaction is not right???"

John raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "I don't know either."

Ji Jiu: "???"

Feel like she's the only one kept in the dark? ? ?
