Chapter 525 be with you (2/2)

Liu Shan: \”Not mine.\”

Lin Hui: \”I thought it was mine, but it's not.\”

Qi Li: \”Not mine either.\”

Xu Long: \”Mine is in my pocket, but it's not vibrating.\”

Grandfather Ji: \”Jingxu, isn't that your alarm to study for your finals?\”

Ji Jingxu: \”…\”

Hearing his grandfather put him on the spot, Ji Jingxu slowly turn his head and cast the old man a glare full of fury.

Due to his mix schedule between studying and training, he had set different ringtone alarms and vibrations to differentiate them. However, never did he think the old man would pay such close attention to each sound.

\”Jingxu, is what yeye say true?\”

Yue Ling asks with a serious look. She could see his cheeks turning red, so she didn't smile because she didn't want to embarrass her little brother.

\”Tsk.\”

Hearing her question, Ji Jingxu click his tongue in annoyance and frustration at the old man. He reach inside his pocket and shows his phone to his sister.

\”See. What study? Grandfather is getting too old that his hearing has gone bad.\”

Yue Ling wasn't bother by his attitude as it was normal between Ji Jingxu and Grandfather Ji.

She looks at the boy's face then to the bright screen on his phone.

Her brows slightly furrow, and she leans in more as if to see better. Pointing her finger at the phone, she points to each word as she read it aloud.

\”Reminder to self. Study for finals or I will disappoint my cranky old man.\”

\”…\”

Hearing her words, Liu Shan, Lin Hui, Xu Long and Qi Li arch their brows and eyes widen in shock.

Grandfather Ji is a highly distinguish figure in Imperial and yet, Ji Jingxu actually consider him as a cranky old man.

Good thing its them who heard this and not the media.

Ji Jingxu stood like statue unable to move a muscle. His jaw dropped to the floor and his eyes fell out of their sockets.

He cannot believe that it was really his reminder alarm to study and his older sister actually read it aloud!

Oh! My! God!

Without putting his face back in place, he struggle a hard gulp and slowly turn his head to look at the quiet old man.

Grandfather Ji's head was turned towards Yue Ling, but his eyes were glaring with dagger at him. The old man's expression was as if saying, 'So now I'm a cranky old man?'

How he (Ji Jingxu) wish so badly to cry but lack the tears to shed. How he wish a hole would magically appear so he can hide in it.

However, unable to do either of the two things, he was left with only one choice. Run.

He quickly shove his phone into his pocket and force a grin at his older sister.

\”Jie, once I finish studying, I will come back to visit you again if I am still alive.\”

Turning to face the old man, he sounds a sarcastic chuckle.

\”Old man, don't look for me when you come home.\”

Without waiting for a response, he turns away and rushes out of the private ward like his life depended on it.

His older sister is fine, so he doesn't need to worry about her. Right now, his biggest problem is how is he going to deal with the old man at home.

Should he hide in his room?

No, that won't work. The old man knows how to unlock the door.

Maybe he'll ask Ting or Liangcai and the others to hide him again.

Yes, he'll do just that.
