want you to kiss me

It happened to snow on the day Jiang Xunyu went to get his final grades.

The snow in the north is big and thick, and it is endless. It has always been the thing Jiang Xunyu hated the most in the past.

It is said that snow is not cold and snow is cold, but for Jiang Xunyu in the past, it was cold no matter what.He has no quilt, only single clothes, and can only shrink in a corner and shiver in winter. From time to time, people will throw stones at him, beat him and scold him.

But this winter was different, Jiang Xunyu was walking in the snow with the report card, his heart was scorching hot.

He carefully folded the report card in half, put it on the layer closest to the back of the schoolbag, and held the schoolbag in his arms, double insurance, to prevent it from being soaked by the melting snow.

That's it, trotting all the way home.

He desperately wanted to tell Ji Yuzhou that he had made great progress, that he was praised by the teacher, and that he hadn't shamed him.

Jiang Xunyu ran home panting, and saw the empty house, only then did he realize that Ji Yuzhou hadn't come back at this time.

He was not sad either, he carefully took the report card out of his schoolbag, arranged it flat on the coffee table in the living room, and finally, feeling unsafe, took an empty glass cup to hold the report card down to prevent it from being blown away by the wind up.In fact, the ventilation equipment in the room is perfect, and there is no such thing as being blown away by the wind.

But Jiang Xunyu was worried.

At nine o'clock in the evening, when Ji Yuzhou came home, he saw the piece of paper pressed by the cup on the coffee table at first sight.

He approached and picked it up to look at it, and couldn't help laughing when he saw that it was a report card.

Jiang Xunyu has indeed made great progress.When he first entered the class, he was the veritable number one from the bottom. In this exam, he not only passed all the subjects, but also ranked 60th in a class of more than 40 students.

But what Ji Yuzhou was laughing at was not his progress in grades.

Ji Yuzhou can see the child's daily efforts, progress is nothing more than normal, what he laughs at is his act of putting the report card on the tea table.

Ji Yuzhou had always felt that Jiang Xunyu's character was too boring before, he kept everything in his heart, squeezed out a few words when he asked, and never said anything unless he asked.Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was the first time he had shown something to himself on his own initiative.

With a smile on his face, Ji Yuzhou went upstairs with the report card that Jiang Xunyu carefully cared for.

Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Xunyu immediately went to open the door. It was clearly his own report card on the table, but when he saw Ji Yuzhou holding the report card in his hand, he still felt a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Ji... have you read that report card?"

"Well," Ji Yuzhou smiled, "I've made great progress."

Jiang Xunyu bit his lower lip, hesitantly said: "During the winter vacation...can you..."

"What do you want? Or what do you want to do?"

Jiang Xunyu took a deep breath, and clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves: "You said before, if you pass the exam, take me back. Is this considered a pass?... I, I really don't want to go back to the orphanage go."

Jiang Xunyu's voice became lower and lower, and finally it was almost in his throat, and he couldn't hear clearly.

Ji Yuzhou frowned, and suddenly understood why the child worked so hard during this time.

Perhaps it was because the child was too unconfident, misunderstood what he meant, and regarded doing well in the exam as a prerequisite for being able to stay, thinking that if he did not do well in the exam, I would throw him back to the original orphanage for the New Year.

Ji Yuzhou thought that Jiang Xunyu had always understood that there was no one in the house here during the holidays, so it was impossible for him to leave him here alone, it was not safe.

But subconsciously, Jiang Xunyu still couldn't believe that he really escaped from the original orphanage, so he never wanted any reward or praise, he just wanted to stay with Ji Yuzhou.

Ji Yuzhou felt sour in his heart.

Ji Yuzhou was silent and did not speak for a long time, Jiang Xunyu became a little flustered.

He bit his lips and said in a panic, "I, I can sweep, mop, wash clothes, cook... and I will definitely wear my hat so that no one will notice... You, you take me back..."

Ji Yuzhou's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and finally said softly: "Silly boy."

He looked into Jiang Xunyu's eyes and assured him: "Since I have chosen to be your guardian, I will never send you back again."

Looking at Ji Yuzhou's ink-stained eyes for a long time, as if finally heaving a sigh of relief, Jiang Xunyu finally whispered: "Thank you, Mr. Ji."

There was a muffled nasal tone in his voice.

This winter has been extraordinarily cold and the Lunar New Year has come early.Ji Yuzhou received a notice from the Legion School. For the sake of safety, the parents' meeting that was originally scheduled before the holiday was postponed until after the school started. This also fulfilled Ji Yuzhou's desire to go back early.

After packing up their things, the two set foot on the way back together.

Sitting in the car back to Ji's ancestral house, Jiang Xunyu looked a little nervous, with his hands on his knees, his fingers unconsciously grabbed his pants, making the piece of fabric crumpled.

Ji Yuzhou was amused in his heart, and comforted him: "I always follow my mother, especially my eyesight."

Jiang Xunyu was taken aback, subconsciously stopped his hands and looked at Ji Yuzhou, not understanding what he meant.

Ji Yuzhou's thin lips curled up a little: "It means that she will definitely like you like me, so don't be nervous."

"……Um."

Jiang Xunyu lowered his head, his voice was very soft, but his face turned a little red.

His mind is full of the phrase "like you like me".

He knew that Mr. Ji's liking was without any passion, maybe it was no different from liking cats and dogs on the side of the road, but he still couldn't help being shy.

A small firework exploded in my heart.

Shyness returned to shame, Jiang Xunyu's original nervousness really subsided a lot.

The car rose slowly and flew farther and farther in the air, surrounded by a vast expanse of whiteness. After an unknown amount of time, a flat road finally appeared in front of it.

Different from the road outside, the road here is full of ginkgo on both sides. It is clearly winter, but the ginkgo leaves have not finished falling, and the yellow, yellow and green are hanging on the branches, which is very beautiful.

The car continued to move forward, and finally stopped in front of an antique building.

The exterior wall of the building is covered with various decorations, the top is in the shape of a "person" and covered with glazed tiles.Looking at the style, it looks like a relic of the ancient earth.

The whole atmosphere is solemn and serious.

In front of the building, there stood a gracefully dressed woman. There was still some distance between the three of them. They could only feel the noble temperament around the woman, but couldn't see the expression on the woman's face clearly.

Ji Yuzhou smiled a little, but Jiang Xunyu became a little nervous.

If he didn't guess wrong, this should be Mr. Ji's mother.

Would she really... like him?

Like a monster who has no blood relationship with Mr. Ji but was adopted by him, and whose eyes are different from ordinary people?
