Chapter 56: A Feeling of Loss
& Gradually, by the middle of December. √∟,
Winter has arrived, the weather is getting colder and colder, Ji Ling sat at the head of the bed and hugged his knees, looking out the window with clear eyes, there were fallen leaves flying outside the window, and the warm winter sun was warm like water.
Click.
The door opened, and an old lady with white hair and a long-haired girl walked in.
"Ouch, baby, hurry up and cover the quilt, be careful of catching a cold." The old lady saw that Ji Ling didn't cover the quilt in the cold weather, and the air conditioner was not turned on in the room, so she was distressed, so she hurriedly walked over and pulled up the quilt and covered Ji Ling's body: "I was injured just now, and my body is weak." ”
"Grandma, it's okay." Ji Ling squinted and smiled: "Now that my leg injury is healed, I will go to school tomorrow." ”
"It's not good, it's not good, the doctor said you still have to rest, you can't walk more." The old lady said softly: "And there are more than ten days before your coming-of-age ceremony, don't go to school these days, anyway, you won't need to learn those things in the future, when your father promised to let you go to CUHK, I objected." ”
"Cousin." The long-haired beauty looked at Ji Ling, whose little face was still a little pale, and sighed: "You see that you followed that group of ordinary students to that mountain to play crazy this time, and there was no one around you, it was too dangerous, how could grandma live with three long and two short." ”
"Yes, Ling'er, you are not allowed to run around in the future, you know?" The old lady said with tears in her eyes.
Ji Ling was a little flustered, and took the old lady's hand and comforted: "Grandma, if you don't cry or cry, I won't go again." ”
The old lady burst into a smile: "Ling'er is so good." ”
The long-haired beauty also touched Ji Ling's long hair with pity: "Ling'er is about to become an adult, this coming-of-age ceremony must be held in a beautiful way, this time the Gusu Wang family, the Chang'an Gu family, the Qinglan Lu family, and the Jiangbei Liang family will all come." ”
Ji Ling didn't have any concept of these families, but he knew that these families were the same as their Qingchuan Ji family, and his father often had contacts with the characters of these families.
"That's right, Grandma." Ji Ling suddenly remembered something, took the old lady's hand and said, "I'm going to invite my good friend Han Xu to attend my coming-of-age ceremony." ”
The old lady and the long-haired beauty looked at each other.
The old lady let go of Ji Ling's hand, took a box from the waiter's hand and said, "Ling'er, are you hungry?" Would you like to eat something first? Grandma makes your favorite ice cream. ”
"Okay." Ji Ling was not stupid, knowing that his grandmother was changing the topic, he took a piece of ice cream and said while eating, "Grandma, do you agree or not?" You haven't met Han Xu yet, have you? Others are super nice. ”
"What's so good!"
The old lady snorted in her heart, but the expression on her face was still full of pity: "Ling'er, in the future, I will be with your brother Xijue more, others are good and capable, this time something happened to you, your father is in Gusu Wang's house, and in the end, your brother Xijue personally rushed over to pick you up, otherwise I will die in a hurry!" ”
"Ling'er, if you have time, you have to go and thank Brother Xijue." The old lady paused: "Also, when your brother Xijue left, he said that if you want to travel, go shopping or go somewhere else, you must call him." He will find time to spend with you. Didn't you like to play with Xijue the most when you were a kid? ”
"Brother Xijue is very good." Ji Ling didn't think about it and said: "But I can't have other good friends just because Brother Xijue is good, Han Xu is also very good, this time he saved me." ”
The old lady was full of smiles when she saw Ji Ling talking about that Han Xu, and she was even more vigilant in her heart: "But this Han Xu just can't do it." ”
"Why?" Ji Ling was unhappy: "Grandma, you are not allowed to be unreasonable?" Can't I even invite a good friend for my birthday? ”
The old lady was a little angry and said, "That Han Xu and you are not the same kind of person. The people who attended your coming-of-age ceremony this time are all big shots, what is he doing as an ordinary person? ”
"Then I'm not on my birthday." Ji Ling didn't even want to blurt out, his little face was full of stubbornness.
"Ling'er, you ......" The old lady raised her eyebrows, and her tears fell again in anger.
The long-haired beauty frowned and said, "Ling'er, why are you so ignorant?" Co-authored that Han Xu is so important that he would rather let you not have a birthday? Do you know how much money your dad spent on your coming-of-age ceremony this time? How many heavyweight guests were invited? If you don't miss your birthday, will your grandmother and uncle's hard work be in vain? ”
Ji Ling also knew that she had said the wrong thing, but she said it subconsciously at that time, and now seeing that her grandmother was angry, she quickly reached out to wipe the tears on the old lady's face, and comforted: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, grandma, cousin, I didn't mean to." ”
"Hey, I can't beat you girl." The old lady saw Ji Lingchu's pitiful appearance, her heart was like being cut, she thought to herself, please please, stabilize this girl first, and then she will have a hundred ways to make the guy named Han Xu retreat from the difficulty, and dare not participate in her granddaughter's coming-of-age ceremony, and then tell her granddaughter that Han Xu's own absence can also make this stupid girl no longer think nonsense.
She paused: "Okay, grandma promised you that you can invite that Han Xu to this coming-of-age ceremony, but grandma still wants to persuade you, you don't need a friend like Han Xu." Listen to grandma, grandma won't hurt you. ”
Ji Ling raised his head suddenly: "Why?" ”
"Ling'er, you are still young, you don't understand anything, this world is sinister. You can have friends, but not the kind of friends you pull on the street. The old lady said earnestly: "You and Han Xu are not the same kind of people, who is Han Xu?" Ordinary people can only be an ordinary person if they struggle all their lives, and who are you? An ancient hunter family that has been inherited for thousands of years - the daughter of the Harukawa Ki family! ”
Ji Ling was inexplicably a little panicked in his heart, and he didn't dare to make his grandmother angry again.
The old lady saw that Ji Ling's little face was a little pale, and after all, she couldn't help but continue to speak, maybe these words were a little cruel to Ling'er, who lived a comfortable life, she turned her head to the long-haired beauty and said, "Ji Su, you and Ling'er have a good talk, I'll go and rest for a while." ”
"Okay, Grandma."
The long-haired beauty named Ji Su got up and sent the old lady out the door.
"What's wrong? Ling'er. Ji Su turned around and sat on the chair, looked at Ji Ling with a stunned expression, and sighed, "You weren't like this before." ”
"Really?" Ji Ling clasped the sheets with his fingers and muttered, "It seems to be......"
She herself felt that she was not the same as before, she used to be carefree, and although she lived in an unimaginably powerful hunter family, her life has always been simple and happy, because her father never let her come into contact with the hunter's world.
It seems different now, and now she is sometimes happy; Sometimes inexplicably lost; It will be a sudden daze again; Sometimes I can't help but feel distressed, just like when I heard my grandmother's reasonable but very ruthless words just now, all kinds of feelings pestered her, and the heaviness made it difficult for her to breathe.
Ji Ling shook his head and couldn't help but say, "Cousin, I like to be alone...... What does it look like? ”
Ji Su was stunned, and immediately remembered Han Xu that Ji Ling had repeatedly mentioned just now, and felt that it was unlikely, as grandma said, Ji Ling and Han Xu were not all the way, this is not only a huge gap in status, but also a gap in bloodline, Ji Ling has hunter blood in his body, and Han Xu is just an ordinary human being.
Ji Su thought to himself that his cousin Ji Ling himself understood this, Ji Ling just regarded the ordinary boy named Han Xu as a good friend, and he didn't like it yet, but unfortunately, Ji Ling lived in a family like the Ji family, and it was destined that even making an ordinary friend was not a simple matter.
So, who is the person my cousin says she likes......
Ji Su smiled and said, "Does Ling'er have a boy you like?" ”
Ji Ling was stunned for a moment: "I didn't know before I asked you." ”
"Isn't it Xijue?" Ji Su feels that this is the only answer, Ji Ling and Wang Xijue are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is strong, the Gusu Wang family and the Qingchuan Ji family are right, and the two are simply golden boys and girls made in heaven.
Ji Su smiled and said: Silly girl, there are many reasons to like someone, ordinary girls may be because the other party is rich, golden, and handsome, Ling'er, you are not an ordinary girl, you have hunter blood in your body, there may be some kind of telepathy between hunters, very mysterious things, you and Xijue have a good relationship since childhood, hunter bloodline is pure, this kind of telepathy may be stronger. ”
Ji Ling turned his head sideways, looking out of the window with a somewhat blank eye: "Really......"
