Before you know it, the cold winter has passed, and spring has quietly come. Xia Xizhi has been staying at home with peace of mind, taking care of the baby in her belly. For her, although this kind of life is boring, she is willing to eat.

In the Ji family's mansion, Xia Xizhi and Ji Xiuyu appeared side by side. Today is Ji's father's birthday, and the old man specially asked the two of them to come back, reunite as a family, and celebrate his birthday.

In the living room, looking at Xia Xizhi, the old man said amiably: "Xizhi, you should have six months in your belly, right?"

Xia Xizhi nodded and replied with a smile, "Well, I just turned six months a few days ago. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the baby is very healthy. ”

Listening to her words, the old man said happily: "That's good, our family hasn't had such a good event for a long time." Erliang, you're going to be a grandfather soon. ”

Father Ji looked at the two of them with a smile on his face: "Yes, I really have some expectations." ”

Seeing that Ji Xiuyu was always sitting there calmly, Xia Xizhi thought about it and said with a smile: "Dad, happy birthday." This is a gift prepared by me and Xiuyu, I wish you a happy birthday. While speaking, Xia Xizhi gave the gift that had been prepared to Father Ji.

Father Ji took it with a smile, looked at Ji Xiuyu, and said, "Everyone is a family, you don't need to see each other like this." But you two also have a heart, thank you. ”

"That's what we're supposed to do. Xia Xizhi replied politely.

His eyes always stayed on Ji Xiuyu's body, and Father Ji said hesitantly: "Xiuyu, are you free today?" ”

Looking at him calmly, Ji Xiuyu said indifferently: "Playing chess, I will not show mercy to your men." ”

Hearing this, Father Ji said with a smile: "Of course, of course, you can't let you learn chess skills." But it's not easy for you to win me. As he spoke, Father Ji asked the maid to set up the chessboard.

Soon, Father Ji and Ji Xiuyu began to play against each other. Perhaps because of the intention to ease the relationship between each other, Ji's father always takes the initiative to open a chat topic. Ji Xiuyu responded simply, and there was no trace of ups and downs on his entire face.

"Xiuyu, let the past pass. Over the past year, I've thought about a lot of things. Back then, it was really me who went too far to cause so much damage to your mother and son. Father Ji said slowly, with obvious apologies on his face.

Holding the chess pieces in his hand, Ji Xiuyu said in a low voice: "It makes no sense to apologize now." My mom is gone, she can't see it. ”

Sighing softly, Father Ji said earnestly: "I know, it's useless to say anything now. The rift between our father and son has been formed, and it will not be easy to solve it. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope that you can go back home once in a while and see your family. ”

After going through the wind and rain, you can understand some things. He has lost a lot this year. Because of this, he has the opportunity to face up to the past. Now, he wants to understand something.

Ji Xiuyu didn't speak, just dropped the chess pieces and said indifferently: "You lost." It seems that your chess skills are declining. ”

"Yes, I'm older, and I don't have the same high-spirited feeling as I used to. Father Ji said with emotion.

"You're not old yet, practice well, and your chess skills will improve. Ji Xiuyu said calmly.

Seeing that he deliberately didn't want to answer this question, Father Ji did not continue to hide it. After all, the mistakes he made cannot be solved in a few words.

In the room, Xia Xizhi was lying there. Ji Xiuyu came to the room and sat down on the side of the bed. Hearing the sound, Xia Xizhi raised his head: "I'm back." ”

The fingertips fell on her eyebrows, and Ji Xiuyu said softly, "Didn't you fall asleep?"

Sitting up, Xia Xizhi said with a chuckle: "This single time, I get enough sleep every day, and it is so easy to fall asleep wherever I want." Did you play chess with your father?"

With a faint hum, Ji Xiuyu replied calmly: "Well, his chess skills are not good." ”

Hearing his evaluation, Xia Xizhi laughed out loud and said jokingly: "If he hears your evaluation, he will probably be a little unhappy." But Xiu Yu, you are really smart, you can do everything. ”

With a faint smile on his lips, Ji Xiuyu explained casually: "If you want to become stronger, you naturally have to improve yourself and make yourself better." ”

For his explanation, Xia Xi's heart was clear. I have always thought I was cool, but what Ji Xiuyu had experienced was far more painful than her.

Thinking of Ji's father's words, Ji Xiuyu's expression was still the same. Xia Xizhi took his hand and said with a smile: "Xiuyu, I can see that he really wants to make peace with your father and son, don't you plan to forgive him?"

Looking at her, Ji Xiuyu replied calmly: "There is no need, I have been living in the dark for so many years, living alone abroad. Now, there is no need to talk about forgiveness. After all, the past has become a part of me. ”

Looking into his eyes, Xia Xizhi said gently: "I know your feelings, you haven't let go of your resentment towards your father. It's just that it's better to settle a grievance, let alone a father and son? You can forgive Ji Xiuming, why don't you live a good life with your father?"

Ji Xiuyu was silent, just looked at her: "Why did you persuade me?"

With a faint smile on his lips, Xia Xizhi's hand fell on the round belly, and said with a smile: "Because I hope that our children will live in a happy family." After all, I also hope that he and his elders can have a harmonious relationship. ”

Stroking her belly, the smile on Ji Xiuyu's face deepened: "Well, our child, he is destined to be happy since he was born." ”

"Besides, I don't want you to regret it in the future. After all, he will leave this world before us, and when you think of these things in your old age, I don't want you to leave any regrets. So Xiuyu, you can let go, okay?" Xia Xizhi begged earnestly.

Caressing her face and looking at her eyes, Ji Xiuyu was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Okay then." Although I don't need his affection, since this is what you want, I promise you. ”

With a happy smile, Xia Xizhi nodded: "Okay, then let's go downstairs." With that, Xia Xizhi lifted the quilt.

Ji Xiuyu nodded in agreement and helped her out of the room. Walking side by side, Xia Xizhi asked curiously, "By the way, after you come back, why don't you see Ji Xiuming?"

"I heard that he went out early in the morning and didn't know where to go. Ji Xiuyu replied calmly, "I heard grandpa say that he seems to be in love recently." ”

Hearing this, Xia Xizhi raised his eyebrows: "According to Ji Xiuming's personality, it is normal to fall in love." There is no shortage of women. "For Ji Xiuming, Xia Xizhi has never had a good impression.

"I don't ask about him, and he's adapting well in the company. Ji Xiuyu replied indifferently.

Xia Xizhi hummed and didn't continue the topic. She didn't want to ask about the Ji family's affairs.
