Chapter 139 The Prisoner of Love
The kitchenette in Ji Xingyu's house is very narrow. You can see at a glance when you stand at the door, and you can see everything inside clearly. Ji Xingyu just saw a man walking into his own kitchen, but when he stood at the door of the kitchen, there was no one inside...
Ji Xingyu was stunned for a moment, and then confirmed again that there was indeed no one in the kitchen, he went back to the sofa in the living room to sit down, and carefully recalled the scene he had just come out of the room. Could it be that he was mistaken because he didn't wake up?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, quarrels came from the parents' bedroom again. Ji Xingyu listened carefully and found that this time it seemed that he could hear clearly what the man and woman were quarreling...
But after hearing it clearly, he felt a little bored. It turned out that the content of the quarrel between the men and women was just like his parents, just for the children and money.
The woman was hoarsely accusing the man of not considering the mother and the mother. The man explained that he was trapped just to let them live a good life! The woman scolded the man for being brainless and could not do anything, and the man said that he had tried his best for this family.
Ji Xingyu became more annoyed as he listened. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he slammed the door and went back to his room to continue reviewing. During dinner in the evening, his parents asked him about his review situation today as usual.
Ji Xingyu was extremely bored when he heard this, and said to them, "You don't understand if I said it, and it's useless to ask!" But he still answered honestly, "It's okay..."
Unexpectedly, this answer caused my mother to be honest. She slapped the chopsticks on the dining table and said, "What does it mean? Can you be a little stressed? You're about to be 24! Others have a family and a career at this age, but you can't even pass the graduate school!"
Ji Xingyu's body was scolded and he was silent for a long time before he said cowardly, "I also know that you are working hard for you. Otherwise, I won't take the postgraduate entrance examination. With my current education, I should be able to find a good job...I,"
Before he finished speaking, his mother interrupted him and said, "What are you dreaming? There are undergraduates everywhere now, and it's already a mess! Look at how many fresh graduates are there these years? There are almost as many migrant workers who are working in the city! Why can you stand out from these people?! How much less valuable is the bachelor's degree and the master's degree?! You can't even get a master's degree, and you can't count on a doctorate! Do you know how snobbish girls are now? Today, the daughter of our hotel owner is going on a blind date, and they don't even look down on a doctorate from overseas!! If you are like this, you can find a job that can barely make a living and want to get married and have children? I think it's better to forget it!"
Ji Xingyu silently endured the accusations of his mother and was unable to refute anything. He developed a submissive temperament since he was a child, so that when facing these verbal injuries from his relatives, he would only choose to remain silent...
In the end, my dad couldn't bear to listen anymore. Ji Xingyu was a boy after all, and some words were too ruthless, which hurts people's self-esteem. So he coughed lightly and said, "Okay, hurry up and have a meal. Xiaoyu will have to review later!"
In Ji Xingyu's mother's eyes, "reviewing" is a huge thing, and nothing can delay her son's review time, so she shut up and picked up her chopsticks to eat again.
When Ji Xingyu returned to the room after dinner, he felt exhausted. He didn't understand why he had to live so tired every day! The person he envied most when he was a child was Huo Ran. That kid never had to be locked up at home every day like him, but he could still achieve good results during the exam.
But as for me, I have lived like a prisoner since I was a child, without freedom, let alone happiness... Maybe it would be great if he was admitted to graduate school! At least my parents would feel much more relieved when they looked at him, rather than being disgusted like now.
The next morning, his parents went out to work early. When they heard the sound of their closing, Ji Xingyu felt relieved. Although he still reviewed honestly when he was alone at home, without his parents' supervision, he would feel a little more relaxed. Otherwise, even if he went to the bathroom by himself, his mother would have to count the time at the door.
But just as he was about to calm down and prepare for review, he suddenly heard a sound in the living room again, so he walked out without saying a word... This time Ji Xingyu clearly saw a strange man standing in his living room.
"Who are you?" Ji Xingyu said nervously.
But the man sat on the sofa in the living room as if he hadn't seen him at all.
No matter how cowardly Ji Xingyu was, he was still a young man in his early twenties, so he rushed over with the courage to push the man out. As a result, he threw it away... and the man in front of him disappeared!
Ji Xingyu was frightened at that time. He immediately realized that he might have seen a ghost! So he hurried back to his house and closed the door tightly. But his fear made him unable to calm down and review, so he simply put on his coat and prepared to go downstairs to get some air.
More than a month has passed since the last time I went downstairs to ventilate. Ji Xingyu felt that he was not as good as a prisoner every day, because the prisoner still had time to let the air out every day, but he could only sneak out of the house occasionally.
In fact, Ji Xingyu didn't dare to go far. He just circled around his own building. However, the short time to let the airs off made Ji Xingyu feel much more relaxed, so he hurried back before his parents discovered it.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to go upstairs, he saw an old lady walking in front of him with a bag of heavy objects, which seemed a little difficult, so he went over and said, "Grandma, I'll help you carry it! What floor do you live in!"
When the old lady saw that the young man was good-looking, she smiled and said, "I live in Room 603 on the 6th floor..."
When Ji Xingyu heard that he was his neighbor, he took the things from the old lady and said, "That happens to be right, I live on the 6th floor."
The old lady glanced at Ji Xingyu, then said as if she suddenly remembered something, "You are Xiao Ji! Oh, I finally saw a living person today!"
Ji Xingyu said slightly surprised, "Do you know me?"
The old lady smiled and said to him, "I know you, I often hear your mother mention it, saying that you are studying at home now, what are you going to take the exam?"
"Post-graduate entrance examination." Ji Xingyu sighed.
