Chapter 48: The Disappearance of Ji Xin'an

  Ji Xin'an followed her master outside, and Zou Weiguo asked her as they walked, "An An, there's a military summer camp now, are you interested?"

  "Of course I'm interested." Ji Xin'an exclaimed as soon as he heard it.

  "Don't be too excited, this has nothing to do with military training or live ammunition shooting, it's just some basic knowledge of the military." Zou Weiguo knew she had misunderstood when he saw her excited look.

  Ji Xin'an listened and immediately scrunched up her face like a changing expression. "Why are you talking so heavily?"

  "Although it's meaningless, I still hope you'll go. If you want to be a soldier, this knowledge will be very useful for your future." Zou Weiguo looked at her and saw that she had lost interest, so he smiled and persuaded her.

  "Don't worry, I'll go. It's just a bit disappointing." Ji Xin'an sighed, thinking that the military summer camp would be like what was shown on TV, but it seemed that things on TV couldn't be trusted.

  "Just think of it as a relaxing summer vacation, next year you'll be in junior high school and studies will be tense, then there won't be time to go out." Zou Weiguo walked forward.

  "Master, your information is outdated. I'm not a freshman next year, but a high school student." Ji Xin'an saw that he still didn't know and smiled at him.

  "High school? Weren't you still in elementary school when I came back for Chinese New Year last year?" Zhou Weiguo looked at her in surprise, thinking that he shouldn't have remembered incorrectly.

  "It's not what you said, just because I went to high school would make me go to the shooting range every day? I wanted to start shooting earlier, so I skipped a grade. When school starts again, I'll be able to attend high school." Ji Xin'an looked pitiful, with a hint of grievance on his face.

  "You're being too ridiculous, just to be able to shoot guns and skip levels, what if you don't study well, won't it affect your future college entrance exams? How can such a big thing be taken as a joke?" Zou Weiguo's face turned stern, looking at her taking her own future as a joke, he felt somewhat angry.

  "Master, don't be angry first, I didn't slack off in my studies either. This time's middle school exam went pretty well too." Ji Xin'an saw him with a stern face and quickly pulled on his arm to appease him with a smile.

  "Really?" Zhou Weiguo's face looked a bit better.

  "Of course it's true, if you don't believe me, I'll show you the notice in two days." Ji Xin'an smiled sweetly.

  "You're really helpless, making such a big decision over something so small, your family is watching you make such a fuss." Zou Weiguo shook his head at her.

  "Master, don't mention those things for now. Tell me about that summer camp instead." Ji Xin'an saw his expression improve and didn't dwell on this topic anymore.

  Zou Weiguo couldn't help but laugh and started talking about summer vacation with her.

  Yao Wenhao felt uncomfortable after watching the two of them leave, and no matter what he did at home, it didn't feel right. After enduring for two days, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he made up an excuse to go to Ji Xianan's house to look for her. However, after knocking on the door for half a day, nobody opened it. So, he stubbornly waited under Ji Xianan's building until evening, but still didn't see anyone, and only then did he return home.

  However, after searching several times, she couldn't be found, and even people at the training ground couldn't see her.

  As time went on, Yao Wenhao felt increasingly uncomfortable in his heart, and even training was absent-minded.

  "Brother, what's wrong with you lately?" Yu Yao looked at him, who seemed to have no energy for anything.

  "It's nothing, maybe I'm just a bit tired." Yao Wenhao forced a smile.

  Yu Yao looked at him with concern, "Why don't you go back and rest for a few days? You don't have to keep coming to accompany me."

  Yao Wenhao felt a bit embarrassed by what she said. He hadn't actually come here for Yu Yao these past few days, but because he knew Ji Xin'an would definitely show up, so he came every day to wait for her. He didn't expect that after all this time, there was still no sign of her. This had him constantly worried about her, and he couldn't focus on anything.

  Shirley ran over at this time, "Yao Yao, Aunt Rong is looking for you and wants you to go over."

  Jian Yu Yao left, and only then did Shi Lin look at the not very happy Yao Wen Hua, "Yao Wen Hua, you can't be like this because of Ji Xin An, right?"

  "How could that be, but it's also somewhat related. The plan I mentioned earlier didn't go as smoothly as I had imagined." Yao Wenhao's heart skipped a beat, feeling like someone had peeked into the secrets of his heart, but he immediately forced a smile to gloss over it.

  "But since Ji Xin'an and Zou Shu disappeared together, you've been like this. You can't have really fallen for her, can you?" Shi Lin's expression clearly showed that she didn't believe him, but thinking of another possibility made her feel even more uncomfortable.

  "What are you talking nonsense, Uncle Zou is our elder, don't think of others as unbearable." Although Yao Wenhuo was also unsure in his heart, when others said this to Ji Xin'an, he couldn't help but defend her.

  "Am I wrong? Didn't you see the way those two looked at each other that day, and the disgusting look in Ji Xin'an's eyes when Zou Shu was injured? Anyone would suspect their relationship. So you really like Ji Xin'an, don't you? Is this fair to Yu Yao?" Shi Lin started getting agitated.

  "What does this have to do with Yaoyao? Regardless of whether I like Ji Xin'an or not, I must pursue her. As long as I become her boyfriend, the biggest obstacle between Yaoyao and Zou Ze will be gone. And the relationship between Ji Xin'an and Zou Weiguo is not what you think it is, so from now on, I don't want to hear you say these things again." Yao Wenhao stared at Shi Lin with a stern expression.

  Xīn under his piercing gaze, suddenly felt a bit unnatural, and didn't dare mention Ji Xīn ān again. "But Yāo Yāo still thinks you're tired from accompanying her, if she finds out you're like this because of Ji Xīn ān, how could she not be heartbroken."

  "Alright, don't mention this again. Also, watch your mouth. Before I become Ji Xin An's boyfriend, don't let Yao Yao know about this matter. And my plan, except for you, don't let anyone else know." Yao Wen Hua saw that she no longer mentioned Ji Xin An and his expression immediately eased up a lot.

  Xilin reluctantly nodded, and at this time saw Yu Yao came back, the two had a tacit understanding of not saying anything else.

  "Brother, I'm fine now, let's go back." Yu Yao walked over, having already changed her clothes and carrying her own bag.

  "Alright, let's go." Yao Wenhao smiled and nodded, leaving with the two of them.

  After returning home, Yao Wenhao's mind kept replaying the scene of Ji Xin'an excitedly pouncing on Zou Weiguo. When he forced himself to stop thinking about it, he couldn't help but recall Shi Lin's words, which made him have to admit that Ji Xin'an's gaze at the time had left a deep impression on him.

  Yao Wenhao was thinking wildly and wanted to find Ji Xin'an to ask her clearly, but now he couldn't even find her shadow. All he could do now was wait, but a summer vacation had passed, and there was no news of Ji Xin'an at all. He thought that after school started, she should have been most concerned about military training, and he should have seen her then, but the result was another disappointment.

  School is about to start soon, and Yao Wenhao suddenly feels very scared, afraid that she will really leave and never come back again.

  Now Yao Wenhao has given up on the idea of asking her what's going on, thinking to himself that as long as she can come back, everything will be fine.

  In Yao Wen-hao's expectation, Ji Xin-an returned before the first class of the new semester.

  Originally, she didn't report on time and didn't even attend the military training. The school would never let such a thing go, but because of Ji Xin An's status as the top scorer, after explaining to the principal, she was easily let off.

  When Yao Wen-hao saw Ji Xin-an walk into the classroom, his mood suddenly improved, and he felt that as long as she was back, all problems were no longer important.

  When class was over, Yao Wenhao originally planned to casually ask her where she had gone for the summer vacation, but Zou Ze beat him to it. "An An, you disappeared after the college entrance exam, where did you go to have fun?"

  "How come I have to make a request report to you before going anywhere?" Ji Xin'an smiled as he looked at him.

  "It's not necessary, but at least a verbal report is needed. You just disappeared without a word, I thought I'd lost you." Zou Ze also smiled, this feeling was like going back to the scene when they were recording songs together. Every day, Ji Xin'an would occasionally make some humorous jokes to help him relax.

  "What could you possibly want from me? You're not thinking of getting rid of your boredom and suddenly thought of me, are you?" Ji Xin'an thought that he must have been tortured again during the summer vacation and was considering what delicious food to make for him.

  "You always slander me, I'm looking for you and can't have a good thing. Let me tell you that during the summer vacation, I organized a band, and the keyboard position is reserved for you." Zou Ze said proudly, immediately forgetting what he originally wanted to ask her.

  "Band? How did it start so early?" Ji Xin'an was stunned for a moment, remembering that Zou Ze's band had only slowly come together after they entered high school, but now it had already taken shape.

  "You still think it's early, what's wrong with you?" Zou Ze looked at her discontentedly.

  Ji Xin'an smiled, "With my two hands, I couldn't be your keyboardist. Would you like me to recommend someone?" At this time, she saw Yu Yao standing aside watching them chat and thought she was much more suitable than herself.

  "That won't do, this position must be yours." Zou Ze wouldn't do it even before she said who it was.

  "Your dad is back, and you still dare to go out and play in a band?" Yao Wen-hao couldn't help but interrupt.

  "My dad when will come back, I have almost a year didn't see him, otherwise I can so easily build a band." Zou Ze looked at him with doubt.

  Yao Wenhao listened to his words and exchanged a glance with Yu Yao, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. They then looked at Ji Xin'an, whose expression was natural, and felt uneasy in their hearts. "Oh, maybe I misjudged."

  Zou Ze didn't think much of it and continued to invite Ji Xin'an to be his keyboardist, while Ji Xin'an also smiled at him, neither of them noticing the different expressions on the other two people.
