The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me Chapter 124

“Grandma, Yu Ning and I study in the same university, we live in the same dormitory and are quite close.” Ji Mingxia carefully opened the subject.

Grandma Ji looked Yu Ning up and down.

There was no doubt that Yu Ning’s appearance was extremely outstanding.

Ji Mingxia already stood out in the crowd, and Yu Ning was even more outstanding with his features that were both delicate and sharp. Although he was pale and somewhat gloomy, he had a soft and calm demeanor, which diluted the weirdness. He was both strange and good-looking, and was unforgettable.

It is normal that a person’s appearance and temperament couldn’t be helped, but for the older generation, this kind of appearance was too outstanding.

Grandma Ji naturally had an impression of the name Yu Ning.

When Ji Mingxia came home for the summer vacation after being silent, she thought Ji Mingxia had run away with the one surnamed Ke. 

Inorder to clarify, Ji Mingxia took out the hotel accommodation records from his mobile phone and showed them to her. Not only did Grandma Ji see that Ji Mingxia was staying with Yu Ning during those days, but she also saw their phone records.

Ji Mingxia had called Yu Ning nine times, but Yu Ning did not answer any of them.

But it wouldn’t make sense to say that Yu Ning didn’t care about Ji Mingxia.

When Ji Mingxia was in danger, a ring saved his life at a critical moment.

And that ring was one that Yu Ning gave him.

Compared to that Ke, who was always courteous around her but then would go and jump around, this Yu Ning was inscrutable.

He had never appeared before her, but everything around Ji Mingxia had his shadow.

At that time, Grandma Ji predicted that this Yu Ning was not a simple person.

It was just that Ji Mingxia never talked about him so she didn’t ask much. Her conclusion was that if these two people were not destined to be together, Ji Mingxia would forget about him when he went to university.

Unexpectedly, Ji Mingxia brought someone directly to his home in less than half a year?

She was finally seeing the person and Grandma Ji looked Yu Ning up and down, her eyes finally falling on Yu Ning’s hand.

On Ji Mingxia’s finger was a blood-red ring that Grandma Ji had seen long ago.

It was only today that Grandma Ji finally saw the other one, and it was indeed on Yu Ning’s finger.

The two rings were apparently a pair.

Although Grandma Ji was old, she was also clear about what it meant to wear a pair of rings.

Although these two rings were very special and protected Ji Mingxia’s life, Grandma Ji could also see that Yu Ning had other intentions when he gave the ring to Ji Mingxia.

Her stupid grandson was the only one who didn’t understand anything and put on the ring on without telling his old woman, and has been wearing it ever since!

Grandma Ji’s majestic eyes finally went to Yu Ning’s face.

Yu Ning, who had always been calm and collected, suddenly felt a sense of urgency as he looked at Grandma Ji.

He felt her burning gaze fall on his hand and the hand that was holding Ji Mingxia’s moved unnaturally. For a moment, he didn’t know whether it was better to continue holding Ji Mingxia, or to put away his hand and hide it behind him.

Ji Mingxia also felt the tension in the air.

As the people closest to him were all around, Ji Mingxia hurriedly spoke up to reconcile the situation, “Grandma, everyone goes home to their families on New Year’s Day, so I brought Yu Ning back to our village to have a good time. He usually takes special care of me, so I told him that my grandmother is his grandmother. From now on, the two of us will be filial to you!”

Grandma Ji was staring at Yu Ning when Ji Mingxia suddenly stood in front of him and blocked her view as rambled on and on.

When she heard the last sentence, Grandma Ji’s gaze finally shifted to Ji Mingxia.

Seeing him look at her with apprehension and affectionate, and a pleading look in his eyes, Grandma Ji could not help but soften her heart.

At least he didn’t come back to see that Ke. Although she didn’t know Yu Ning’s character for now, he was the benefactor of Banana Leaf Village.

Grandma Ji retracted her gaze and asked Ji Mingxia: “Have you eaten yet?”

Ji Mingxia hurriedly shook his head: “Not yet, I’m so hungry, grandma.”

“Then why don’t you go and eat!” Grandma Ji scolded, “There’s some porridge and small dishes in the kitchen. It’s not a lot, but you two can pad your stomachs and we’ll talk after you’ve finished eating.”

When Ji Mingxia heard this, he naturally understood that Grandma Ji was tacitly approving of Yu Ning’s stay, so he brightened up and reached out to give Grandma Ji a hug, “Thank you, Grandma!”

Grandma Ji gave Ji Mingxia an annoyed look and nudged his leg with her cane in irritation, “Go, go!”

Ji Mingxia smiled and immediately turned around, dragging Yu Ning to the kitchen.

Grandma Ji looked at Ji Mingxia’s actions helplessly. Although he was silly and foolish, he was full of energy, much more energetic than he had been during the summer holidays.

She sighed helplessly and went to sit in the rocking chair at the table, quietly watching the two busy themselves in the kitchen.

As soon as Ji Mingxia took Yu Ning into the kitchen, he began to show him around: “You must know all these appliances on the left, this is the stove on the right, the cupboard is here, the small yard outside the kitchen balcony, there are a lot of green onions, garlic and cilantro planted, some of them are my grandmother’s, some were planted by me, not only the balcony, there is also a field outside, covered with the fruits of my labor, all of them were planted last summer ……”

Yu Ning listened earnestly, focusing on Ji Mingxia the whole time. On hearing that he had such a colorful summer vacation, Yu Ning’s smile became wider.

“Let’s cook first, I’ll take you for a walk when there’s time.” Ji Mingxia said, hurriedly starting to make rice.

Although Grandma Ji had prepared congee and small dishes, they were all breakfast that she had prepared for himself, so naturally, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning would not eat them.

Although the two of them did not cook much, they still had basic survival skills, especially Yu Ning, who was extremely meticulous in this area.

At first, Ji Mingxia stood in the main cooking position, while Yu Ning assisted him, but as they went on, it somehow turned into Yu Ning standing in the center, with Ji Mingxia playing second fiddle.

The rice was poured into the rice cooker to quickly make the congee, and at the same time, a few simple dishes were stir fried. In less than half an hour, Ji Mingxia came out of the kitchen with the dishes.

“Grandma, come and eat.” Ji Mingxia yelled.

Yu Ning also came out of the kitchen, scooped up the congee and carefully finished arranging the plates, waiting for Grandma Ji to eat with them.

On seeing this, Grandma Ji could only get up and share breakfast with Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia.

At first, Ji Mingxia was worried that Grandma Ji and Yu Ning would not get along at the table, but they both followed the principle of silence at the table, and the atmosphere at the table was harmonious.

The two were Ji Mingxia’s closest people, and for the first time, the three of them sat down together for a meal.

After the meal, Yu Ning put the dishes away as usual and took them to the kitchen to wash and clean up, while Ji Mingxia sat aside and burped contentedly.

Grandma Ji glanced at Yu Ning in the kitchen, then at Ji Mingxia, the salted fish, and couldn’t help but ask, “Is this how you and he usually are?”

“Huh?” Ji Mingxia was thinking about where to let Yu Ning sleep at night when Grandma Ji suddenly asked a question. Ji Mingxia was stunned and looked at Grandma Ji blankly, “Grandma, what’s wrong?”

“Does Yu Ning know how to wash dishes?” Grandma Ji hinted, “Aren’t you afraid he’ll break the bowls?”

Ji Mingxia thought that Grandma Ji was going to question Yu Ning’s ability, so he quickly said, “No, Yu Ning is the most meticulous. Grandma, our Yu Ning is a genius, in this world, there is nothing Yu Ning can’t do!”

“When we were in the wilderness, Yu Ning packed all our luggage and equipment. He was careful and meticulous, not only did he get enough for us to eat, but we also had enough for the others we saved on the way. And when I was at school, Yu Ning would bring breakfast, lunch and dinner, sometimes he’d order take-out and sometimes we’d pick it ourselves. But it’s all because of Yu Ning’s proper arrangement!”

Ji Mingxia approached Grandma Ji and whispered, “Let me tell you, we went to the suburbs to do charity work a few days ago and I was thinking that since Yu Ning usually takes care of me, I’d have to take care of him this time. But whatever I thought of doing, Yu Ning would have already taken care of it! I got motion sickness and slept the whole time, but Yu Ning is powerful, not only does not get motion sickness, but he can also concentrate on reading documents during the car ride!”

Ji Mingxia rambled on about his and Yu Ning’s daily routine, not giving Grandma Ji a chance to chime in.

By the time Ji Mingxia’s ranting was over, Yu Ning had also finished tidying up and came out of the kitchen.

Grandma Ji looked at Yu Ning and then at Ji Mingxia and sighed helplessly, not knowing whether to say that her grandson was a foolish man who had fallen on his face or a foolish man who was blessed with foolishness.

After breakfast, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning took their backpacks upstairs.

Although Ji Mingxia was not at home, Grandma Ji had always cleaned his room in the past few months.

When they walked in, the whole bedroom was clean and tidy, no different from before Ji Mingxia had left.

Ji Mingxia placed his backpack on the bed, and when Yu Ning came in and closed the door, he gave Yu Ning a somewhat embarrassed look and said, “Yu Ning, I’m sorry, I actually didn’t have time to talk to my grandmother ……”

Yu Ning looked very calm: “I guessed it a long time ago.”

“You guessed it?” Ji Mingxia’s eyes went wide, but he wasn’t very surprised. He had grown accustomed to Yu Ning’s ability to notice things after such a long time together.

Yu Ning said, “I also wanted to see how I looked in your grandmother’s eyes, but I didn’t expect ……”

Ji Mingxia immediately thought of Grandma Ji’s anger when they had just entered, although a few of her words seemed a little strange, but that was not the point.

The point was not to let Yu Ning leave a bad impression on Grandma Ji as well!

Ji Mingxia hurriedly explained, “Grandma, she…… she must have been so surprised, that’s why she acted angry, but she quickly accepted you after my explanation!”

Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia’s anxious look and nodded with a smile.

Ji Mingxia said, “Don’t worry, Grandma only looks fierce on the surface, but she has the softest of hearts. She was also like this when I first came back last year, which surprised me, but after a few days of getting along, I understood that no matter what she appears to be like, she will never change inside.”

At his words, Yu Ning’s eyes moved slightly as he pursued the abnormality in his words, “You were surprised too?”

“Yes.” Fearing that Yu Ning would be left with a psychological shadow, Ji Mingxia very generously shared with him what had happened when he first met his grandmother last year.

He also selflessly poured out and shared the tips for coaxing Grandma Ji.

Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia intently and listened quietly, not speaking for a long time.
