Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 338 Real World (3)

The next day, sunlight poured into the room through the window. Ji Xiao curled up comfortably on the bed like a lazy cat.

It was not until the sunlight shone on her face that she slowly opened her eyes, stretched, then slowly got up to wash, changed into home clothes and went downstairs.

Ji Xiao saw that there was no one downstairs, but when she walked into the restaurant, she smelled an enticing aroma.

It turned out that her mother was busy making lunch in the kitchen. Ji Xiao walked to the dining table and was surprised to find that the table was filled with various delicacies, including braised spare ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, dry pot chicken, etc. Ji Xiao couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks to taste it.

At this time, Ji Xiao thought of her younger sister and brother, and curiously came to the kitchen door to ask her mother: "Mom, what kind of work does my sister have today? And where is my brother? Isn't he on vacation? Why is he not at home? And why did you make so many delicious foods today? And why hasn't my grandma come back yet? Doesn't she come back that evening in the past?"

Mom smiled and replied, "Your sister is working the day shift today, and will be off tomorrow before switching to the night shift. Your brother, second sister, and Yangyang went to look for your sister, but they knew you were back yesterday, and your sister and the others also came back from Guangdong Province last night, so they should be here soon."

Your grandma said she would stay at your second uncle's house for two more days before coming back."

After hearing what her mother said, Ji Xiao suddenly understood and nodded to show that she understood.

Ji Xiao quickly picked up the phone and made a video call to her cousin.

"Beep...beep..."

There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone, and Ji Xiao waited leisurely. Finally, the call was connected, and the face of Ji Xiao's cousin appeared on the screen.

"Sister! Where are you? Do you need me to drive to pick you up?" Ji Xiao asked with a smile.

"Haha, Xiaoxiao, there's no need to trouble you to pick us up. We're almost home!" my cousin replied with a smile.

Hearing her cousin's words, Ji Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, then we'll wait for you to come back before eating."

"Okay, we'll be there in a few minutes." My cousin nodded in response.

Ji Xiao put down her phone, turned to her mother and said, "Mom, my sisters said I don't need to pick them up."

Mom nodded to show that she understood.

Just then, there was a sound of a car outside. Ji Xiao immediately stood up and ran to the door.

"They must be here!" Ji Xiao shouted happily.

Mom also stood up and followed Ji Xiao to the door.

Ji Xiao opened the door and saw two taxis slowly stop. Her cousins, sister and brothers got out of the cars one after another.

"You're finally back. Come and have dinner." Mom greeted me happily.

"Mother."

"Aunt."*2

My cousin looked at the closed gate of her own house next door and asked, "Okay, Auntie. Where's my dad?"

"Someone was looking for him, so he went out."

Several people walked into the yard carrying their suitcases, put their bags in the living room, and went to the restaurant to eat together.

This is how their family is. If they have nothing to do, they will go home no matter how far away they are. Everyone sits around the table, eating and chatting.

Ji Xiao's eyes swept over everyone at the table, and her heart was filled with warmth. She felt that this was the feeling of home, warm and harmonious.

"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Mom asked my cousin with a smile.

"About half a month. It's too hot there, both hot and humid," my cousin replied.

"That's great. Let's have a barbecue in the back garden tonight." Ji Xiao suggested happily.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Ji Xiao looked towards the door in confusion, wondering who would come in the middle of the day?

When her mother stood up and prepared to open the door, Ji Xiao followed her curiously.

As the door opened, a tall figure wearing a mask appeared at the door.

The mother asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for, young man?"

The man took off his mask, revealing a handsome face, and replied with a smile: "Hello, auntie, is this Ji Xiao's home? I am her friend, Fu Shiqi."

When Ji Xiao heard the name, she was stunned, but soon an expression of surprise appeared on her face. She looked up at the person who came and said, "Why does the figure look so familiar?"

Mom looked at Fu Shiqi, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, it's just in time for dinner, come in and eat together!"

Fu Shiqi smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Auntie. I haven't had lunch today. You're welcome." After saying that, he walked into the house.

Ji Xiao walked up to Fu Shiqi and asked in confusion: "Qiqi, why did you suddenly come to my house? Didn't you go to Dali for a trip? Why are you here alone?"

Fu Shiqi smiled and explained, "I saw your circle of friends and knew you were home, so I bought a ticket and came to see you as soon as I got off the plane, so that we can go out and travel together! And I have a two-month vacation this time, so I can relax."

"What a coincidence!" Ji Xiao said with a smile, "Come in, you've come just in time, my sister and the others are back, and we're preparing to have a barbecue together tonight. Put your suitcase in the living room first, and I'll take you to your room to put your luggage later."

Fu Shiqi nodded, put the suitcase in the living room, and then followed him to the dining room.

Ji Xiao didn't ask him why he knew her home was here, but after thinking about it, she knew it. It was probably because he saw the address she posted on her Moments.

"This is my cousin Ji Yue, this is my brother Ji Rui, my cousin Ji Li and my cousin Ji Ze. My sister Ji Qiqi won't be back until after get off work, and the one who just opened the door for you is my mother." Ji Xiao introduced.

"This is my friend Fu Shiqi in Haicheng." Ji Xiao turned to look at Fu Shiqi and said with a smile.

Fu Shiqi blushed and said to Ji Xiao's mother, "Hello, Auntie. I'm sorry for disturbing you by coming to your house without saying hello. Also, it's my first time visiting you, and I didn't bring any gifts, which is really rude."

Then he politely greeted the others and said, "Hello, you can call me Qi Qi, or you can call me Fu Shiqi."

"No, no, it's okay as long as the person is here." Ji's mother said with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Ji Xiao's cousin Ji Yue." Ji Yue looked at Fu Shiqi's handsome face, raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Hello, I am Ji Xiao's younger brother Ji Rui." Ji Rui greeted Fu Shiqi with a smile.

"Hello, I am Ji Xiao's cousin Ji Li." Ji Li smiled and nodded to Fu Shiqi.

"Hello, I am Ji Xiao's cousin Ji Ze." Ji Ze also followed Ji Li and greeted Fu Shiqi.

"Brother Shiqi is so handsome, he looks a lot like that big star." The cousin said while looking at his face.

Fu Shiqi knew who she was talking about, but he still responded with a smile: "Really? Many people say that, but I'm not a big star. I'm just an ordinary worker."

(Well, ordinary people working in the entertainment industry.)
