Chapter 208 Negligence
After school, Xie Zhao drove to pick up Ji Mingzhu first and then followed Xie Xuan. The three of them went to Chen Ye's place together. After explaining the matter, they used a dinner before driving home. But as soon as they entered the door, they heard Grandma Xie say to Xie Zhao: "Zhaozhao, Mingxuan called you several times, please go back quickly!"
"Okay, I understand. Grandma, I'll go call him back now." Seeing that Grandma Xie's face was not very good, Xie Zhao quickly responded. She suddenly thought that she had come back so late today, but forgot to call her grandparents, which was probably to worry the two elders. What's more, Ji Mingxuan called again and again, and gave a wink at Xie Xuan and Ji Mingzhu. Xie Zhao went to the study to call Ji Mingxuan and asked Xie Xuan and the other two to coax their grandparents first.
The moment the phone was called, Xie Zhao heard Ji Mingxuan's voice and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I went to Chen Ye's store today. I forgot to say something to you in advance, which made you worry."
"It's fine if you're fine. I'm just a little worried about you. You're not a person who doesn't want to return home without giving any explanation. Have you had a meal?"
Ji Mingxuan's gentle voice came, and Xie Zhao sighed softly and said, "I ate, I ate in Chen Ye's restaurant. Today, I chatted with a few friends at school. I was a little absent-minded. I forgot to call my grandparents after school and said, "I came back so late. You are really worried that it's broken. I heard from my grandma that you have called several times."
"Fortunately, I guess you are afraid that something will be delayed. I feel relieved when I receive your call. You go to coax your grandparents first. The two elders are afraid that they are worried. You have always been careful, but today it is rare to make such a mistake!"
Listening to Ji Mingxuan's faint laughter, Xie Zhao said embarrassedly: "It was my negligence. I heard the magical operations of a few friends at school. I might be a little confused for a moment, so I forgot to call my grandparents and you and say it."
"What makes you feel confused? Can you say it?"
Xie Zhao was a little helpless about Ji Mingxuan's curiosity, but there was nothing to say, so he took the microphone and said softly: "Actually there is nothing to say. Isn't this about to graduate? Several of my friends want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and the rest want to stay in Kyoto. They are all older than me. When I chatted, I realized that I was not single, and the remaining seven people were all out of place. I asked curiously for a moment."
"I only realized that the seven of them were not beautiful suitors, but they seemed to have agreed to turn the suitors into brothers or good sisters and best friends. This magical operation also made me a little dazed for a while. I forgot to call you, and I don't know what they thought. It would be fine to become brothers with the boys who pursued themselves, but what happened to become sisters and best friends!"
Xie Zhao didn't hear Ji Mingxuan speak for a while, so he knocked on the microphone, "Hey! Hey! Senior brother, why don't you speak? Is the wire broken?"
"Zhaozhao, this joke is not funny. Who can do this? They are coaxing you to play?" Ji Mingxuan on the other side of the phone felt that he had always been calm and steady, but Xie Zhao's words still made him unable to react for a while. How could such a weird thing happen? Even Xie Zhao called him a senior brother and didn't react.
Xie Zhao heard Ji Mingxuan's voice and smiled softly. It was rare that there was something that made Ji Mingxuan lose his calmness. It seemed that her friends were really weird in doing things, so they said with a smile: "It's really not a joke, it's a fact. I'm actually quite curious. How did they do such a weird thing? It's fine if one or two of them are like this. The seven people are all like this. Haven't they discussed it in advance? I think our dormitory may have a magical aura."
"Fortunately you applied for a stay away early, otherwise..."
Xie Zhao knew what Ji Mingxuan didn't say, so he smiled and said, "Maybe, the Wei Dongmei I mentioned to you is the oldest of us. She is twenty-four years old this year. She is like an ascetic in four years of college. She only studies but also studies every day. She goes to the library for nothing. Even if there are activities for students, she has to drag her to participate. However, she is just as good as a brother to a few former suitors with good character!"
"Zhaozhao, when I go back, you can tell me carefully. It's really funny to hear what you said. It's getting late. You go coax your grandparents first and call them tomorrow."
Xie Zhao took a look at the time, agreed happily, hung up the phone, left the study and came to grandparents' room. Before he could enter the door, he heard Ji Mingzhu and Xie Xuan laughing loudly, and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that there was no need to coax him. With such two people here, Xiangbi, grandparents were no longer angry, right? He should not be angry anymore!
Xie Zhao entered the door and apologized to the grandparents on the kang. Fortunately, the two elders were not really angry, just worried about the three of them. Besides, they didn’t know how busy Xie Zhao was. But under normal circumstances, Xie Zhao rarely had dinner outside, so he was worried. Fortunately, the three of them came back too late. Although it was dark, it was only about seven o’clock.
She was playing with her nephew seriously, and Xie Zhao listened to her grandparents and Xie Xuan and Ji Mingzhu chatting with each other. But if Ji Mingzhu talks too much, Xie Xuan is already very good at speaking, but Ji Mingzhu is not bad compared to her. However, looking at her grandparents who were coaxed and laughed constantly, Xie Zhao thought that it would be better to talk more.
The old men slept early, and several people were unwilling to delay their rest. After coaxing for a while, they all left the room and let the two elders and the young men take a break early. However, Xie Xuan and Ji Mingzhu looked at each other, and each person pulled Xie Zhao on one arm and said, "Go, go to the study, have something to talk about!"
"Okay, let me go first, I can't run away!" Xie Zhao looked at Xie Xuan and Ji Mingzhu who were holding him from left and right and said helplessly.
Xie Zhao made a cup of tea for them one by one, and then handed it to them before asking: "What are you going to talk about? You can talk about it now."
"Sister-in-law, are you doing something at school today?" Ji Mingzhu took a sip of tea before looking at Xie Zhao and asked softly.
"Why do you say that?"
Xie Xuan and Ji Mingzhu looked at each other and said, "Zhaozhao, you have always been meticulous. Since you have something to do after school, you usually say hello to your grandparents. Even if you don't say hello, you will call to say anything. I have always been used to being careless and have no habit of this. You don't seem to have said in advance to your grandparents today, nor do you call to say that something has occupied your mind and made you neglect it!"
Xie Zhao glanced at Xie Xuan and Ji Mingzhu, and asked helplessly: "This is the matter? It is worth asking so seriously? I thought it was a serious matter!"
