Chapter 303 Bring them with you (1/2)

After Ji Chu Hua left the Ji Mansion in failure, Yue Ling and Inu spent their morning inside the warm and cozy Ji Mansion. Ting didn't stay and left to go back and prepare to train with the soldiers.

Yue Ling had wanted to eat breakfast with her yeye and younger brother, but the old man did not come back. So, she and Ji Jingxu had no choice but to eat breakfast without him.

Seated at the dining table, Yue Ling sat on one end and Ji Jingxu sat on the chair next to her.

”Jie, you were awesome! I wish I had a camera and recorded Ji Chu Hua's disoriented face. Hahah, the world can finally see how ugly she is!”

The young man is beaming in pure joy as he spoke and eats his food. He is truly happy because he gets to spend time with her without the old man.

Remembering something, Ji Jingxu turn his head to the white fluff ball at the corner of the room. Inu who arrived with the appearance of a noble and elegant king is currently having his way with his food. He's eating out of his food bowl as if he hasn't eaten in days, even crumbs can be seen flying out.

Ji Jingxu furrow his brows and takes a bite of his food. Thinking back to Inu's movements, his frown deepens.

”Is Inu really a house pet? The way he attacked those three bodyguards was as if he was ninja!”

Yue Ling sees the expression on his face and she lightly shook her head. Without saying anything, she continues to eat her breakfast.

Inu is in fact a house pet. Well, more like an undercover house pet.

Halfway into his food, Ji Jingxu stops talking and lightly press his lip together. He steals a glance at his older sister and debate if he should tell her.

Since she is the old man's real grandchild, she has the rights to know that he is sick…

He put the spoon in his hand down and looks at her with a serious expression.

”Jie….”

However, he stops himself. The words he wants so badly to say does not come out. He swallows down the saliva in his mouth and sigh.

Yue Ling looks at him and furrow her brows. Setting down the spoon, she leans back on the chair.

”What is it?”

Ji Jingxu stare at his sister and his heart tighten in pain. His mouth open and close, but in the end, he closes his eyes and shook his head.

”It's nothing. I just wanted to know how long you will staying here…”

Hearing his words, Yue Ling doesn't find him suspicious and she lightly tap his head. Reaching for her spoon, she continues to eat.

”I'll be leaving in the evening.”

”I see. That's good then.”

Ji Jingxu spoke with a smile, but when his sister did not look at him anymore, the smile slowly fades.

He lowers his head and stare at the food in front of him.

He really wants to tell her about the old man's condition, but he respects the old man. If she were to hear about it from anyone, it should be from him. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Pushing the thought away, he holds his spoon and continue to eat.

As the sun fully rises into the blue sky, their breakfast comes to an end.

”Jie, I'm going to go train with the soldiers, do you want to come watch?”

Ji Jingxu asks as he stood up from the chair. His eyes beam with happiness as he thought about showing his sister what he learned.

Seeing his happy mood, Yue Ling sigh inside. She stood from the chair and reach for her plate and his.

”Let me take care of the dishes, then I'll come find you.”

”Mm! I'll get going now!”

Ji Jingxu grins widely and turns to leave out the back door. For the longest time now, he knows how much the soldiers respect and appreciate his sister. He cannot wait to see the looks on the soldiers' faces when they see her!

Watching the boy leave out the door, Yue Ling shook her head. Turning away, she heads to the kitchen.

Usually, dishes are done by the servants inside the Ji Mansion, but she never allows them when she is here. For small things like this, she can do it herself.

Ji Jingxu walks down the stairs and he quickens this pace. He is really excited to tell the brothers about the good news. However, halfway down the stairs, he furrows his brows and decrease his steps.

”Eh?”

He sees a familiar figure standing below and he narrow his eyes before he continues to walk down the stairs.

”Ting, why are you standing there?”

Ting stood by the stairs with his back facing Ji Jingxu. After he left the brother and sister alone, he had gone back to his room to change.

Hearing Ji Jingxu's voice, he jumps in surprise, but quickly calms himself. He slowly turn to the boy and point to a direction.

”Can we talk for a bit?”

Ji Jingxu stares at Ting for a long minute. He narrows his eyes as if trying to read the young man then shrugs his shoulders.

”Sure, why not.”

He places both his hands on the back of his head and walks in the direction Ting had pointed.

From inside the kitchen, Yue Ling sees the two boys from the window. She lightly shook her head and continues to wash the dishes.

Seems like they're getting along quite well.

Ji Jingxu and Ting walked to a nearby by hill. It was the same hill when Ji Jingxu put some senses into Ting's head about his doubt.

”Ah, today is a great day. Even the weather is nice!”

Ji Jingxu cheerfully spoke and drops his body to sit on the glass. He is really happy because not only is his sister here, he even got to face slap Ji Chu Hua.

Ting stare at the cheerful boy and he sits down. He thinks of how he should say his words, but over and over again, he doesn't know how to bring up the subject.

As he tries to think again, the words Ji Jingxu said last time cross his mind.

Regret flash in his heart and he stares in silence at the vast field in front of him.

'I know that same loneliness…'
