Chapter 226 The misunderstanding is resolved
Ji Xun raised his eyelids, his pupils turned slightly cold for a moment, then disappeared, returning to his usual cold, indifferent and aloof look.
Su Zhaozhao heard Lai Lin's question and jokingly said, "Haha, Lai Lin, you're a little weird. Xiao Xun is only in the second year of high school, so of course he's not an adult yet."
Lai Lin's face was not looking good. He stared at Ji Xun's handsome face and said solemnly, "Since you are not yet an adult, Ji Xun, you are so smart. You should know without me saying that you need to be careful about some things."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. Others didn't understand what he meant, but Ji Xun understood. He didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes, acting obediently, as if frightened by Lai Lin's inexplicable questioning.
Ji Xun didn't look up, his lowered eyes dark and cold. He was an adult. He was no longer a child! He wanted to speak out. But he knew that at this moment, the best thing to do was to remain silent.
Ji Xun had celebrated his birthday a few days ago, so he turned 18. Although it was not his full age, in Ji Xun's view, he was already an adult.
Shang Qing's focus wasn't on the question of adulthood. Perhaps it should be said that she didn't consider Ji Xun's turning 18 and adulthood on the same level. After all, in her opinion, adulthood came at .
Shang Qing, who was originally joking, frowned slightly. Lai Lin was teaching his brother a lesson without knowing right from wrong. What right did he have? Looking at Ji Xun's pitiful appearance, her brother was so well-behaved and sensible, she never wanted to say a word. Why let an outsider scold him?
In an instant, Shang Qing became cold as ice, and his tone turned harsh: "Lai Lin, what are you doing? It's so inexplicable! My brother provoked you!"
Thinking back to the day Lai Lin hung up on her, and now throwing a tantrum and scolding her brother, she grew even more dissatisfied. "That day too, you hung up on me for no reason. Who provoked you to throw a tantrum in front of me? What a big shot!"
"That day! That day wasn't it..." Lai Lin's face flushed unnaturally and he couldn't continue.
Seeing Lai Lin seemed to be making excuses, Shang Qing's temper flared up, and she angrily said, "What's that? Wasn't I just talking to Xiao Xun at the time and didn't answer you right away? Why are you so fussy about it? My legs were numb at the time, and I didn't want to walk, so I hesitated for a while. When I talked to you again, you hung up! I called you back, but you didn't answer. We were deskmates for a year, but in your eyes, Ji Xun and I are people you can do whatever you want. Humph. I can't afford to offend you, you have a temper like a young master, so don't try to fool me."
Shang Qing felt a bit frustrated about this. They'd been sitting at the same table for a year, so compared to the other students, they were relatively familiar with each other. Naturally, Shang Qing had automatically considered Lai Lin a friend. So, when they went out together, they would go out together. Otherwise, given Shang Qing's personality, how could she possibly agree?
But Lai Lin hung up on her for some unknown reason. The most important thing was that they hadn't spoken a single word in over half a month. It was really baffling.
Lai Lin then realized he had misunderstood. At that moment, he wanted to slap himself. How could he have imagined Shang Qing and Ji Xun like that?
He should have known Shang Qing's character. No matter what, it was impossible for her to do what he imagined! What was going on in his head? Was he a person with dirty thoughts? In his mind, Shang Qing had become such a despicable person! He regretted and blamed himself!
"Shang Qing, I'm sorry. It's my fault." Lai Lin couldn't possibly say it was a misunderstanding. That would really make people suspicious and overthink things.
When Lai Lin looked at Ji Xun again, he felt even more embarrassed. How could he think of this innocent boy who was as gentle as the breeze and the moon as something so dirty?
"Ji Xun, I'm sorry. I was a little rude just now. I apologize."
Shang Qing was a little confused when she saw him admit his mistake so decisively and straightforwardly, and she couldn't say anything else.
The atmosphere around them had returned to normal, and the room became more lively, filled with laughter and joy.
The only unhappy person here was Ji Xun. Ji Xun's eyes darkened. He had done it on purpose, deliberately trying to make Lai Lin misunderstand.
But now, Lai Lin had taken the initiative to apologize to him, and he was helpless, knowing that the misunderstanding was resolved. So, would Lai Lin actively pursue Shang Qing again? He had said that on purpose that day, and his little trick had succeeded. But now, the misunderstanding was resolved, and loss filled his heart.
He sat there quietly, watching Lai Lin and Shang Qing chatting and laughing, and seeing the admiration and unknown feelings for Shang Qing in Lai Lin's eyes.
Shang Qing didn't realize Lai Lin's feelings for her. When it came to her own affairs, especially her emotions, she was unmatched in her insensitivity.
Ji Xun watched this scene, and he felt both happy and disappointed about Shang Qing's understanding. Because of Shang Qing's emotional dullness, she would never realize that his love for her was overflowing. Who could have known the bitter look on Ji Xun's face?
Since his health was fine, Shang Qing stayed in the hospital. Worried that more people would come to visit him, he begged Ji Xun to arrange for his discharge.
Seeing her anxious look, Ji Xun hurriedly asked the doctor to make sure Shang Qing was well again, so he had no choice but to agree to discharge her from the hospital.
Xue Xuelin and Su Zhaozhao walked in front with Shang Qing's arm in arm, while Ji Xun, Lai Lin and Zhang Qi followed behind, responsible for carrying things.
This photo of handsome men and beautiful women caused a stir in the hospital corridor. Several people walked casually like this, handsome men and beautiful women, and the things they held seemed to have become props for the photo shoot.
To everyone in the hospital, these people looked like they were part of a fashion shoot. They were breathtakingly beautiful.
Zhang Qi has a cheerful face and is not ugly. He has grown a little taller since graduating from high school. Next to these handsome men and beautiful women, he is no longer as out of place as before.
This seems to confirm the old saying: appearance is contagious. If you spend time with beautiful people, you will also look better. Zhang Qi really got a great deal.
Shang Qing looked at the three boys carrying bags and bags of things, and she just wanted to sigh. They came with only one bag, stayed for a day, and left with bags and bags of gifts. Her friends were really overwhelmed with things. Were they worried that she wouldn't eat well?
Ji Xun took Shang Qing to sit in Xue Xuelin's car first, while Su Zhaozhao and Zhang Qi sat in Lai Lin's car.
At Shang Qing's request, Ji Xun arranged a meal for the few people, and then Lai Lin and Xue Xuelin sent them home.
Lai Lin and Zhang Qi helped Ji Xun put all the items into the room. Xue Xuelin and Su Zhaozhao went into the room together to greet Grandma Kang and exchange pleasantries.
Grandma Kang smiled and invited everyone to have some more fruit. Seeing that it was getting late and not wanting to disturb her any further, everyone politely said goodbye and left.
