The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me Chapter 71

Grandma Ji’s house was an inheritance left by her mother, and from Grandma Ji, to Ji Mingxia’s father, to Ji Mingxia, they all spent their childhood in this house until they grew up.

In Ji Mingxia’s memory, this house covered a large area, and although it was a small farmhouse, it had been well maintained. Grandma Ji was a very clean person and she would clean the house once a day.

The outside of the house looked like an ancient building, but the inside of the house had been renovated and decorated. Whether it was the kitchen or the bathroom, all were modern and all kinds of furniture and appliances were readily available. It was an old country house that was very comfortable to live in.

But when he walked in at this moment, the whole house inexplicably gave Ji Mingxia a feeling of decay and dilapidation.

The house was still the same and the furnishings inside the house are the same as Ji Mingxia remembered. The floor was made of marble pattern tiles and a little bit of garbage could be seen at a glance.

The ground was clean at the moment, so it seemed that Grandma Ji had cleaned today. In addition to the dining table and stove top, other locations where dirt could easily be hidden were also very neat but Ji Mingxia just felt that as if the house was covered by a layer of gray dust.

Grandma Ji with her white hair and hunched body permeated with an unspeakable breath of death.

“Put the things on the table.” Grandma Ji said.

She spoke with her back turned and Ji Mingxia, who was not quite used to her old voice, did not react for a moment until a few seconds later when he realized that Grandma Ji was talking to him.

Ji Mingxia was a little guilty, and he hurriedly followed her words.

Grandma Ji ignored Ji Mingxia after seeing him put the dishes on the table.

She busied herself in the house. One moment she was pouring water, and then she got bowls in the next. It wasn’t until the old woman opened the bag on the table and brought the packages out one by one that Ji Mingxia realized Grandma Ji was ready to cook.

Ji Mingxia looked at the time. It was not meal time now and the old woman’s work and rest were usually on time. This meant that she was only cooking at this time for him.

The bag contained a lot of items and it was a little heavy for Ji Mingxia to carry, let alone Grandma Ji of this age.

Seeing this, Ji Mingxia quickly stepped forward and helped Grandma Ji take out all the things for her to choose.

Grandma Ji kept her head down the whole time, as if Ji Mingxia did not exist.

If it were normal times, Ji Mingxia would have found a way to liven up the atmosphere when he saw how cold it was.

But he did not dare, deeply afraid of revealing himself.

Ji Mingxia also stayed silent and didn’t speak, and it was not until Grandma Ji finished picking out the things she wanted that he quickly stretched out his hand, sorted out the rest of the things and took the initiative to put them in the refrigerator.

In his memory, the refrigerator at home was neatly stored and clearly classified.

But on opening the refrigerator here, he found that the refrigerator had a lot of clutter.

Especially the top layer. Perhaps Grandma Ji’s current height and physique made it difficult for her to reach there, so some things that were not commonly used were haphazardly stuffed in, resulting in the refrigerator’s messy look.

Ji Mingxia felt a little sad on seeing this. While Grandma Ji was washing the vegetables, he put the new food in, and took the time to organize the refrigerator and the cabinet beside him.

Grandma Ji finished washing the vegetables and was just about to stir-fry when she looked up and found that the original messy cabinets and refrigerator were all tidied up.

Grandma Ji was slightly stunned and couldn’t help but look at Ji Mingxia a bit more.

Ji Mingxia was holding a bucket of oil and was pouring it into a small oil jug. He noticed his grandmother looking at him and he became a little nervous.

He thereby accelerated his movements. He closed the oil jug with a tight lid, placed it on the spice rack, and then waited for Grandma Ji’s next move.

He waited for a few seconds, but did not see any action from Grandma Ji. She was still holding the vegetable basket, standing in place and looking at him.

Could it be that Grandma Ji was waiting for him to cook?

Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but think to himself.

He had actually learned to cook from Grandma Ji when he was in elementary school.

However, he was born with little talent. While his grandmother’s fried vegetables were green and crisp, Ji Mingxia’s were fried into a mess even when he followed her steps. Whether it is meat or vegetarian dishes, all ended up wilted and unappetizing.

Although he could smoothly stir-fried dishes, and not end up with the kitchen on fire like in the TV dramas, the final product could only be said to be poisonous.

He struggled for a while during summer vacation and finally decided that he was not suitable to be a cook, so he decisively gave up that skill.

If it was in his old world, he wouldn’t be embarrassed about turning down Grandma Ji.

But this Grandma Ji was different.

The Grandma Ji of his world was young, energetic and spirited while this one was aged and old. She couldn’t even organize the refrigerator, so something like cooking was indeed more difficult.

He looked at Grandma Ji’s graying hair and said tentatively, “Grandma, why don’t I do the stir-frying?”

Although he had no culinary talent, he could follow a video carefully, and at least cook food that could fill the stomach.

Ji Mingxia said the sentence in the form of a question so as not to be suspected. This way, he could always have a way out in case there was a problem.

Ji Mingxia praised himself for his wit but didn’t realize that Grandma Ji was very sad when she heard his words.

She almost looked at Ji Mingxia in surprise when he called her “grandma” and her hand trembled when she saw that Ji Mingxia was really planning to help her cook. She wanted to hand the vegetable basket in her hand to Ji Mingxia, but in the next moment, her gaze stopped at the red ring on Ji Mingxia’s left hand.

Because it was daytime, there were no lights on in the kitchen.

The surroundings weren’t dim, but they weren’t bright either.

There was no sunlight falling on the ring, but the ring had a stream of light brilliantly flowing inside it.

Grandma Ji’s eyes may not be good but she could tell that this ring was worth a lot of money.

At this moment, it was on Ji Mingxia’s left ring finger.

The meaning of wearing a ring in that position was self-explanatory.

Grandma Ji stared at the ring for two seconds, and the originally relaxing expression suddenly became cold.

“No, just sit and play with your phone.” Grandma Ji said and averted her gaze. She took the vegetable basket and walked to the stove, no longer paying attention to Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia didn’t notice the change in Grandma Ji’s mood, only that her reaction was a bit strange.

She bypassed him and was ready to cook so Ji Mingxia only let out an “mmm” and slowly walked out of the kitchen.

After Ji Mingxia walked away, Grandma Ji began to pour oil to prepare for frying.

Ji Mingxia observed from outside the kitchen for a while, and it was only after determining that Grandma Ji could cook alone that he took the opportunity to walk towards her room.

An old woman in her seventies suddenly turned into an old woman in her nineties. Whether there was something wrong with his age or something else had happened, it could be confirmed by finding Grandma Ji’s ID card.

Grandma Ji’s room was located on the second floor of the house.

The second floor was at a higher location and the light was brighter, but the feeling of decay and dust never dissipated the whole way as he went up.

Especially in the darker corners of the stairs. There was a vague chilly air.

Ji Mingxia was in a hurry to see his grandma’s ID card, so he didn’t stop in the corridor, and hurried to Grandma Ji’s bedroom.

He used to go to Grandma Ji’s bedroom to help clean up so he was very familiar with the furnishings of her bedroom. However, he never paid attention to where his grandma would put her ID card.

He gave himself five minutes to find it and he quickly searched through his grandmother’s bedroom. After searching in vain, Ji Mingxia hurried downstairs to avoid his grandmother’s suspicion.

The woman was still stir-frying in the kitchen and it seemed like she didn’t even notice Ji Mingxia’s departure.

He failed to find Grandma Ji’s identity card and the questions in his mind were not solved. He was slightly agitated, but after all, he had experienced so many paranormal events and he was much more calm.

It is unnecessary to be hasty, and it was better to be cautious.

Since there was nothing to do, Ji Mingxia organized some messy items in the house and placed them according to memory. The surrounding areas were instantly organized.

When Ji Mingxia finished doing this, Grandma Ji also came out of the kitchen after frying vegetables.

The old woman came out trembling with the dish, and Ji Mingxia hurriedly stepped forward to take the dish. He set the plates and served the food.

Grandma Ji looked at Ji Mingxia’s busy actions, and then looked at the living room and yard that had been tidied up and the expression on her face became colder.

After Ji Mingxia sat down, Grandma Ji looked at the striking blood-red ring on Ji Mingxia’s hand and finally couldn’t help but say, “Did you just go upstairs?”

Ji Mingxia had just picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat, and on hearing these words from Grandma Ji, his hand shook and he almost dropped his chopsticks.

He quickly raised his head and glanced at Grandma Ji. She was looking at him with a sullen face and a rather majestic look.

“I ……” Ji Mingxia wanted to explain when he heard Grandma Ji say: “I put away the registration book. You will not get it unless I die.”

Ji Mingxia was stunned at the words.

He wanted to see Grandma Ji’s ID card, not the household registration book.

Moreover, Grandma Ji’s words were extremely heavy, so it was obvious that there was a deeper meaning.

He had no memory of the original owner and did not know the cause and effect of the issue of the registration book, so Ji Mingxia only lowered his head without answering.

Grandma Ji saw Ji Mingxia’s actions and it reinforced her suspicions. She said coldly, “I can’t control you now that you’re an adult, but as long as I have a breath, you won’t be with that boy surnamed Ke.”

Grandma Ji, glancing at Ji Mingxia’s finger: “Even if you get married abroad, you won’t.”

Grandma Ji’s expression showed so much disgust that it was hard for Ji Mingxia to ignore it.

He looked at Grandma Ji, and then looked at his finger, and suddenly comprehended. Grandma Ji had misunderstood!
