Qin Yi didn’t contact Ji Ranxin for a week.
At first, he received two messages from Ji Ranxin. After he never responded, Ji Ranxin stopped sending them again.
Qin Yi wondered if there might still be something between him and Ji Ranxin, and he wasn’t quite sure if that something was Qu Hao.
The weekend was also the National Day holiday, the first long holiday after the summer vacation.
Qin Yi did not contact Ji Ranxin about going home. He carried a bag packed with some of his belongings. When he left the dormitory, he received a call from Yu Panwen, saying that he would drive him home with him.
Yu Panwen parked the car in front of the school. Qin Yi approached and found that Lu Qingyue was also in Yu Panwen’s car. It seemed that Yu Panwen was taking his girlfriend home to meet his parents on National Day.
Qin Yi threw his bag into the back seat, bent his back forward, and got in. He curled up his slender body and sat down, inserting his hands in his jacket pockets and looking at Yu Panwen.
Lu Qingyue smiled and looked back at him.
Yu Panwen started the car, shifted gears, and drove forward.
“Aren’t you going out on National Day?” Qin Yi asked unenthusiastically.
Yu Panwen said: “Not going out. There’ll be traffic jams everywhere. What’s the point of going out?”
Qin Yi didn’t speak and turned to look out the car window.
Yu Panwen said while driving: “Are you going to the high school class reunion on the 3rd?”

Qin Yi did not respond in the back row.
Yu Panwen specifically glanced at him through the rearview mirror and saw that his expression was very calm, as if he didn’t recognize this person named Su Jing at all, so he continued: “Something seems to have happened to her father, who came back from New Zealand. They said that they won’t be going there in the future.”
Qin Yi finally said coldly: “Oh.”
Yu Panwen was a little confused, “You haven’t found a girlfriend for so long, isn’t it just because you keep thinking about Su Jing? Why are you reacting like this now?”
Qin Yi finally turned his head and looked at him, saying, “Yeah.”
Lu Qingyue stayed silent and listened attentively to the conversation between the two.
But Qin Yi spoke less after that. His whole person was as gloomy as the weather outside. Only his lips were slightly tightened, as if he were thinking about something.
Yu Panwen drove Qin Yi to the entrance of his community. After Qin Yi got out of the car, he turned around and left.
Qin Yi grabbed his bag with one hand and walked downstairs to the unit where he lived. It was dark in the corridor. As soon as he stepped in, he found someone standing against the wall.
Ji Ranxin leaned against the wall with his arms folded in front of his chest, his left leg placed over his right leg, standing lazily. When Qin Yi came in, he tilted his head and smiled at him: “Yi-ge.”
Qin Yi didn’t want to speak at first, but after taking a step, he still felt it was inappropriate, so he nodded and said, “I’m back.”
Putting aside those emotional entanglements, they were still nominal brothers.
The two of them went upstairs one after another. Ji Ranxin followed Qin Yi and looked up to see the small bag in his hand swinging by the side of his leg.
Qin Yi suddenly stopped and turned back to look at him.
Ji Ranxin was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him face-to-face.
After Qin Yi looked at him, he turned back and continued walking up.
Standing in front of the house, Ji Ranxin waited for Qin Yi to open the door. Through the security door, one could vaguely hear footsteps and voices coming from inside the house, seemingly a bit busy and chaotic.
Qin Yi opened the door with the key and saw his father, Qin Feng, coming over quickly. He greeted them first, and then said, “Your aunt and I have something to do. We have to leave right away.”
Ji Ranxin peered in from behind Qin Yi, “You have to leave? Where are you going?”
Qin Feng pointed at Qin Yi and said to Ji Ranxin: “His uncle is in a critical condition. We have to go back to the countryside to take a look.”
Only then did Qin Yi speak: “Uncle? Don’t you need me to go back with you?”
There was a box in the living room, and Shi Menglan was still packing her things in the room. It looked like she would be leaving for at least two or three days.
“You’re not going,” Qin Feng said, “You’ll take care of your younger brother at home.”
It was definitely inconvenient for Ji Ranxin to go. Qin Feng thought that Ji Ranxin could not be left alone at home during National Day, so he asked Qin Yi to stay with him.
Qin Yi said nothing.
Ji Ranxin suddenly said: “It doesn’t matter to me, I can go back to school.”
“Since you’re both back, why bother returning to school?” Qin Feng smiled at him, “It’s just that these days, there’s no one at home to cook for you guys. Either cook for yourselves or just go out to eat.”
Qin Yi responded this time: “I understand.”
Ji Ranxin looked at him silently from behind.
Shi Menglan came out of the room and carried a smaller traveling bag. “There’s still food in the refrigerator. You can just heat it up and eat it tonight.” After that, she called Ji Ranxin to her side and whispered a few words of repeated warnings.
Then the couple took their luggage and hurried out.
Ji Ranxin sent them out, telling them not to worry, and closed the door after they went downstairs.
When Ji Ranxin turned around, he saw Qin Yi standing in front of the refrigerator with his sleeves rolled up. The refrigerator door was open, and Qin Yi was taking out several lunch boxes from inside.
Qin Yi piled up the lunch boxes together and took them to the kitchen.
Ji Ranxin followed behind him and stood at the entrance of the kitchen. He asked, “Yi-ge, what are you doing?”
Qin Yi didn’t look back and said coldly: “I’ll make you dinner.”
