Chapter 287: The Meng Family
When Meng Yan opened the door, she had a strong premonition in her heart.
She must have lived here for a long time before!
Meng Yan subconsciously took two steps forward, glanced at the deserted open space on the left, and murmured, "Was there a big banyan tree here before?"
Ji Chen followed her line of sight and looked over. Thinking of the tree he saw when he came to Meng's house, she nodded.
"Yes, you remember?"
Meng Yan shook her head gently.
There are still many things that she has not remembered, but in her memory, she remembers this big banyan tree very deeply, because during the period when her father was not at home, her mother often sat alone under the banyan tree and sighed.
That period of time was still fresh in Meng Yan's memory.
Seeing that something was wrong with her expression, Ji Chen worriedly stepped forward to support her and spoke softly.
"This is just outside the courtyard, let's talk about it after we go in."
Meng Yan nodded and walked towards the door with Ji Chen's support.
With Meng Guoping's imprisonment, Meng's family also officially declared bankruptcy, and many antique vases in the Meng family villa were swept away by the family's servants.
When Ji Chen and Meng Yan entered, they saw all kinds of things scattered all over the place.
"Be careful."
Noticing that there were still a lot of glass fragments on the ground, Ji Chen frowned and first asked Meng Yan to stay in a safe place. Then he found a broom and personally cleared a path for Meng Yan, and then came back to help her.
.
"Walk slowly and tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
She didn't expect him to be so attentive. Meng Yan looked at him blankly, with a ripple in her heart.
"Let's go."
She followed Ji Chen all the way in. When she turned the corner, Meng Yan suddenly paused and locked her eyes on the second room on the left.
Following her line of sight, Ji Chen immediately remembered whose room it was.
"This is the room you used to live in."
Meng Yan stared at the other end thoughtfully and said in a deep voice.
"I want to go in and take a look. Things about my mother will most likely be placed in my room."
Ji Chen is naturally fine.
The two pushed open the door. Because no one had been here for a long time, the dust on the door frame fell to the floor as soon as it was moved. Ji Chen subconsciously protected Meng Yan under his body, blocking all the dust.
Seeing the particularly obvious dust on his black suit, Meng Yan felt guilty and wanted to reach out and brush it off for him.
But unexpectedly, Ji Chen gently grabbed his wrist.
"Don't touch it, it's very dirty."
He frowned and glanced at the dust on his suit, but didn't care. He found a mask from his bag and put it on Meng Yan's face.
"You have to be extra careful now. It's best not to touch even dust."
Seeing the serious look on his face, Meng Yan couldn't help but laugh or cry.
The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, and she shook her head slightly.
"How can I be so delicate?"
But suddenly she saw Ji Chen reach out and gently hold her little hand, his tone was firm and endearing.
"You are the most delicate little princess here."
After finishing speaking, Meng Yan looked at Ji Chen in disbelief, but saw that the roots of his ears were slightly red, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
She had never thought that a flower like Ji Chen would one day be able to say such sweet and greasy love words.
Looking at Ji Chen's slightly embarrassed expression, she knew that this was probably the first time he had said such a thing, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Meng Yan straightened her expression and deliberately joked.
"I didn't expect you to say something like this. It seems that you have said it many times before. You are very familiar with it."
It's rare to see Ji Chen looking shy. How could she not make fun of her?
Unexpectedly, when he finally plucked up the courage to say something to coax the girl, Meng Yan misunderstood him. Ji Chen felt anxious and hurriedly explained.
"I've never said this before, this is the first time."
Meng Yan deliberately kept a straight face, as if she didn't trust him.
"I don't remember what happened before. Maybe you have always used these words to tease my little sister before."
Unexpectedly, she didn't trust him. Ji Chen's deep eyebrows frowned slightly and he suddenly picked up Meng Yan.
Meng Yan let out a soft "Ah" in fright, and subconsciously put her arms around the man's shoulders. She saw a hint of panic and persistence in Ji Chen's serious eyes.
"I've never said that to anyone."
After a pause, he coughed slightly and gave an unnatural explanation.
"I've never even told you before. That was the first time just now."
Seeing a few blushes slowly appearing on his face, Meng Yan couldn't help it and burst into laughter.
Facing Ji Chen's rather angry eyes, she smiled even more unscrupulously.
"I know, I just said that deliberately to see your reaction."
Although she couldn't remember many things in the past clearly, in Meng Yan's few impressions, Ji Chen had always been a flower of the high mountains that could only be viewed from a distance but not played with. Such a person should not talk about love.
, I’m afraid I don’t even bother to give others an extra glance.
