Master Xi Wants To Make Official Announcements Every Day

Chapter 2041 Proposal (twenty-six)

 On this day, Ruan Qi got up earlier than usual.

These days, she is always worried about Wang Yue Linting going to college. She often stays up late checking her mobile phone and browsing university forums. If you stay up late and go to bed late, you will wake up late. The sun was almost beating down on her buttocks, so Ruan Qi got up from the bed. Because of this, she didn't know what time Xi Jiu got up these days.

 To this day, Ruan Qi suddenly got up early in the morning.

 It was not yet seven o'clock in the morning when she woke up.

Ruan Qi opened her eyes, but before she could fully wake up, her hand habitually touched the other side of the bed.

During these days back in the village, Xi Jiu would sneak in and sleep with her every night. The Ruan family all turned a blind eye. Occasionally they encountered Xi Jiu sneaking into Ruan Qi's room, but they all pretended to be blind and didn't see it.

 And Ruan Qi is also used to sleeping in Xi Jiu's arms every night. She got up so early today, but found that Xi Jiu was not holding her. This made Ruan Qi a little uncomfortable, and she subconsciously touched the bedside.

 As a result, I got nothing.

 The bed was ice cold, and there was not even a shadow of Xi Jiu.

 There was no sound of washing in the bathroom, so Xi Jiu probably wasn't there.

"I slept very well last night and didn't stay up late, so I got up early today. Brother, have you seen Jiujiu? I didn't see him in the bedroom."

Ruan Qi's questioning voice came into the restaurant.

 She sat up from the bed, her eyes swept across the other half of the bed, and then looked at the bathroom in the bedroom.

If it were normal, Ruan Qi would definitely notice his abnormality. But today, she was so focused on Xi Jiu who had disappeared so early in the morning that she didn't notice anything strange about Cheng Jinyan.

 Ruan Qi's sleepiness suddenly became energetic.

Cheng Jinyan, who was picking vegetables with his head down, suddenly raised his head, with a look of surprise on his handsome face.

 Cheng Jinyan, who has always been a man of few words, rarely spoke so much at once.

"Going out?" Ruan Qi walked down the stairs, her eyebrows furrowed, "Where have you been? Did you go for a morning jog?"

He said "uh" and hesitated for half a second before saying vaguely: "He...he's out."

 But it’s just less than seven o’clock, where can Jiujiu go? Did he go for a morning run?

 On the first floor of the villa, most of the Ruan family members have already gotten up.

 “Brother, where is Jiujiu?”

 Cheng Jinyan: “…”

　　Ruan Qi:? ? ?

 Brother, why is this tone a bit strange?

Ruan Qi was confused when asked, and asked Cheng Jinyan blankly: "Shouldn't I wake up?"

Cheng Jinyan knew he had lost his composure, so he coughed quickly and calmly made up for himself: "No. What I mean is, I didn't expect you to wake up so early. Don't you usually wake up after nine or ten o'clock? Why didn't you wake up at seven o'clock today? Did you get up at 0:00? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Full of doubts, Ruan Qi opened the quilt and got out of bed, changed her clothes and opened the bedroom door.

Nie Beilou, the two elders of the Ruan family and Mr. Xi were playing Tai Chi to the music in the yard. Ruan Fengmian and Ruan Munan were cooking in the kitchen, while Yang Liu and Cheng Jinyan were sitting in the restaurant picking vegetables.

Ruan Qi walked down the stairs and scanned around the first floor, but unexpectedly did not find Xi Jiu.

 Ruan Qi's question made Cheng Jinyan stiffen again.

“Xiaoqi, why are you awake?”

 Cheng Jinyan is not very good at lying and is worried about how to answer Ruan Qi. When he heard Ruan Qi's words, he immediately nodded.

"Yes," he said, "Xi Jiu went for morning exercise and will be back soon. Xiaoqi, are you hungry? Breakfast is not ready yet. Do you want to drink some milk to cushion your stomach?"

 After learning that Xi Jiu had gone to do morning exercises, Ruan Qi no longer worried about him. She rubbed her flat belly and her attention was drawn to her breakfast.

"Okay, I'm a little hungry. I'll listen to my brother and drink a glass of milk first."

Ruan Qi said, going to the kitchen to heat milk.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Jinyan immediately put down the vegetables and stood up: "I'll help you heat it up. There is oil smoke in the kitchen and it's very scary."

 After saying that, he stepped forward and walked into the kitchen in a few steps.

Ruan Qi was deprived of the right to enter the kitchen, so she had no choice but to stand outside the kitchen door and watch her father and two brothers working in the kitchen.

But as she looked at it, her eyebrows wrinkled again.

 “Brother, where is Coyotito?”

The men in the Ruan family have always cooked, so both the Ruan family and his son, as well as Nie Heng, have good cooking skills.

 On weekdays, unless there is something special, Ruan Fengmian and Ruan Munan usually cook dinner. Breakfast was completed by two juniors, Nie Heng and Ruan Munan.

 But today, Ruan Qi did not see Nie Heng in the kitchen, but Ruan Fengmian, who was responsible for cooking dinner, appeared in the kitchen.

Ruan Qi felt a little strange. She was worried whether Nie Heng was sick, so she asked.

Unexpectedly, her question made the three men in the kitchen stiffen.

It was not obvious yet that Ruan Fengmian was cooking with his back to the kitchen door, but Cheng Jinyan, who was holding the milk cup, and Ruan Munan, who was washing the dishes, trembled in their hands and almost dropped the cups and plates in their hands to the ground.

"Uh..." Cheng Jinyan quickly grasped the milk glass and made up reasons at the speed of light in his mind, "Nie Heng... Nie Heng, he, he..."

 “He also went to do morning exercises.” Ruan Munan spoke in time.

Cheng Jinyan nodded quickly: "Yes, that's right. He went to morning exercise with Xi Jiu." Ruan Qi:? ? ?

That boy usually has to be whipped with a whip even when practicing martial arts. How can such a lazy person get up so early to do morning exercises?

 The sun rises from the west?

 Ruan Qi always felt that something was not right.

 Is it because she got up too early and didn't get enough sleep?

 Why do you always feel that Big Brother and the others are weird?

 Ruan Qi frowned, doubts almost overflowing from his eyes. Cheng Jinyan and Ruan Munan were afraid that she would continue to think about it, so one of them pushed her to the restaurant, and the other gave her the hot milk.

"The milk is ready, drink it quickly. Breakfast will be ready soon. Eat more later."

 Ruan Qi's attention was immediately drawn away by the fragrant breakfast.

By the time she reacted, the entire Ruan family was already sitting at the dinner table.

“The dishes are all here, let’s start dinner.” Ruan Munan brought the last pickle to the table, then took off his apron, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Ruan Qi, who was holding a cup and drinking milk, made a move.

"Dinner is about to start, why haven't Jiujiu and Xiaozizi come back yet?" She looked up at the clock on the wall, "What time did they go out? Does morning jogging take so long? How about I go look for them?" Bar."

 The Ruan family members who were busy eating suddenly froze in their hands holding chopsticks.

"Ah... There's no need to look for it. What could happen to these two grown men? They'll definitely be back soon." Mr. Xi said as he gave Ruan Qi a bun. "Xiao Qi, eat quickly and leave them alone."

 Ruan Qi was still a little worried: "But Jiujiu and Coyotito..."

 It’s really abnormal that I haven’t come back from my morning exercise until breakfast time.

Ruan Qi was worried and wanted to go look for it. But before he finished speaking, the door of the villa was opened.

 “I’m back!” It was Nie Heng’s voice.

 Ruan Qi immediately raised his head. Across the dining room and living room, she saw Nie Heng standing at the door changing shoes. Standing behind Nie Heng was Xi Jiu, who had disappeared early in the morning.

Seeing the two people coming back, Ruan Qi's anxious heart finally dropped.

"Why do you two exercise so long in the morning? I almost want to go find you."

Nie Heng, who was changing his shoes, heard Ruan Qi's words and asked subconsciously without thinking: "Morning exercise? We don't have morning... Uh-huh!"

Before he finished speaking, Xi Jiu, who was standing behind him, shot out his hand like lightning and covered his mouth.

　　Ruan Qi:? ? ?

"Jiujiu, why are you covering Coyotito's mouth? What did Coyotito just say? Did you do nothing?"

Nie Heng also reacted at this time and shook his head in panic, not knowing how to answer.

Xi Jiu let go of the hand covering his mouth, put on his slippers, and said calmly as he walked to the restaurant: "It's nothing. Nie Heng wanted to say that we didn't go for a morning jog, but went to the back mountain to do some stretching."

 Ruan Qi suddenly realized something.

“So I went to the back mountain. No wonder I came back so late. But there are stretching equipment in the small square. What are you doing in the back mountain?”

"The air in the back mountain is good." Xi Jiu lied without blushing. He looked cool and calm, but he even held his chopsticks backwards.

Seeing Xi Jiu about to use the thick end of the chopsticks to pick up the buns, Ruan Qi quickly stopped him: "Jiujiu, you are holding the chopsticks backwards."

Xi Jiu made a movement, and then calmly turned his chopsticks in the face of everyone's teasing eyes.

He picked up a bun mechanically and just took a bite when he heard Ruan Qi next to him ask again: "You and Coyotito have been exercising for so long, why don't you sweat? You don't even smell of sweat."

“…” Xi Jiu’s heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat wildly again.

He tried to keep his expression steady and said calmly: "I passed by a river and jumped in to take a bath when no one was around. The sweat was washed away."

　　Ruan Qi:? ? ?

Two grown men jumped naked into the river to take a bath in broad daylight?

 Aren't you afraid that passers-by might see you?

She couldn't imagine how Xi Jiu could take off his clothes and take a bath in the river with such a cold temperament.

How much sweat did you sweat? Can't wait that much?

 Ruan Qi didn’t understand, but was greatly shocked.

 The other Ruan family members were also shocked by Xi Jiu's words.

Ruan Munan, who was sitting on the right side of Xi Jiu, endured it again and again, and finally pinched his thigh hard, and then he could barely resist the urge to laugh.

It took Ruan Qi a long time to recover from the shock of Xi Jiu jumping into the river to take a bath for most of the day.

She calmed herself down, coughed, and advised softly: "Although few people go to the back mountain, it's not good to bathe in the open-air river under the clear sky. Next time you and Coyotito do morning exercise, you'd better go home. Wash it."

Xi Jiu stiffened her body, nodded, and said "hmm" expressionlessly.

Seeing that he agreed, Ruan Qi felt relieved.

She lowered her head again and was about to eat when Xi Jiu suddenly said: "Baby, do you have time tonight?"

　　"Huh?" Ruan Qi took a bite of the buns and raised his eyes in confusion, "Tonight? I have time. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Xi Jiu said ‘hmm’, with an imperceptible nervousness in her voice: “There will be a movie in the small square tonight. I have never seen an outdoor movie in the village, and I want to see it. Can my baby accompany me?”

Open-air movies are often played in the village, and Ruan Qi has watched them since she was a child.

 So when Xi Jiu said this, she did not become suspicious, but raised her head in surprise: "There is an outdoor movie tonight? Okay, I'll go watch it with you. Mom and dad, do you want to go together?"

Here we come
