What should I do if I lose my memory after transmigrating into a book?

Chapter 148 Unfilial Descendants

Since Jiang Ci was seven years old, he had never been separated from Shen Xi for such a long time.

One week.

He frowned impatiently, wondering, "Do I really have to go back? Can the ancestral worship ceremony not proceed without me?"

He thought of calling Jiang Hui to ask.

When Shen Xi learned of his thoughts, she couldn't help but lean back and gasp.

She pinched his face and said, word by word, "Stop behaving like this, you unfilial descendant. The ancestral worship can't proceed without you..."

Jiang Ci's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"But it's not like I can't live without you. I don't want your ancestors to know that you, the young master of the Jiang family, would refuse to go back to worship your ancestors because of a little girl. That would be an outrageous reason. I'm not some femme fatale, so I refuse to take the blame. If you do this, our ancestors won't protect us anymore. I still want to make money."

Shen Xi spoke with righteous indignation. She pinched Jiang Ci's fair face hard, and only slowly let go when she saw his features wrinkle up.

That bastard deserves to be taught a lesson.

Jiang Ci poured himself another glass of ice water, speechless. He rubbed his face, pouted, and seeing that Shen Xi was unwilling to go with him or let him stay, he slowly began to compromise.

His voice still had a strong nasal tone and was a little hoarse, as if he had just drunk ice water and his throat was cold.

"Okay, I'll be back soon. I'll arrange for restaurants to deliver food to your door these next few days. Make sure you eat on time. I'll leave the bodyguards here to you, but you still need to be careful when walking at night and don't stay out too late..."

He rambled on and on, and only when he himself had nothing more to say did he finally speak, albeit awkwardly.

"Can't you really come with me?"

"Stop, stop! Jiang Ci, we're not conjoined twins. It's not like one of us can't survive without the other. Besides, it's only for a few days. I'll video call you every day."

Seeing that Young Master Jiang was still determined to take her away, Shen Xi sighed and rubbed her forehead in anguish.

This guy is stickier than any adhesive.

Jiang Ci glanced at her, his handsome face somewhat cold. It wasn't that he simply didn't want to leave; it was mainly because his heart was pounding, and he was afraid that something bad might happen after he left.

He was really uneasy.

But at that moment, another call came from the old house; Jiang Hui was coming to Yunxiaxiang.

"Don't hesitate, this doesn't fit your image. Go take a shower, you smell awful when you get back."

Shen Xi had originally planned to go in and take a shower, but since Jiang Ci was probably in a hurry to leave, she decided to let him shower first.

Jiang Ci put down his cup and was pushed along by her.

After he went in, Shen Xi crossed her legs and sat on the bar, her little finger unconsciously drawing in the icy mist.

Jiang Ci washed for nearly twenty minutes. When he came out, he was holding a white towel and wiping the water droplets off his head.

"Has Uncle Jiang not arrived yet?"

When Shen Xi saw him come out, she casually asked him a question.

"Not yet, we've probably just gotten off the highway, it'll be another ten minutes or so. What are you drawing?"

Jiang Ci glanced casually at the water mist painting on the bar, which was almost gone, and stared at the three chibi-style heads with great interest.

"Tsk, it's an anime about a family of three's adventures."

Shen Xi quickly wiped away the water mist painting, without saying that it represented their past or... future.

Have you packed your luggage?

She looked behind him and saw nothing; the young master had his hands in his pockets, empty-handed.

This kid isn't going to just leave with a face, is he?

Jiang Ci took her cup, rinsed it under the running water on the bar, and then placed it upside down on the bar cup holder.

"No need to pack. Uncle Li has already packed everything from the capital. There's no need for that."

Shen Xi: "..."

It's all packed up.

No need for that.

She asked, "How are the words in these two sentences combined?"

"Okay, be careful on the road. I can't take it anymore, I'm going to take a shower first."

Shen Xi felt that the sweat on her body was sticky and sticky, and she felt uncomfortable and had an indescribable stench.

Shen Xi couldn't stand it anymore; the more the air conditioner blew, the more uncomfortable she felt. Taking a shower would be the best solution.

Jiang Ci remained silent, sitting on the high stool and looking her up and down for a long time.

Shen Xi was about to take a shower when she was stared at for no reason, so she simply stood there and let him look at her.

After a long period of silence.

Jiang Ci hesitated before speaking, "Keep your phone on at all times. Call me immediately if anything happens. If you can't get through, call Ms. Hua. If no one answers, call Uncle Li... In short, don't let anyone bully you here."

Why is he so worried?

She's not a child who falls down after taking a few steps and needs someone to watch over her while she walks.

Shen Xi smiled and her eyes crinkled. "Nothing dramatic will happen. You can go on your way and don't worry. I won't bother anyone unless they bother me. I'm not the kind of person who runs away from trouble. Don't worry."

After she finished speaking, she was so afraid of his nagging that she simply turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Jiang Ci was left sitting there alone in silence.

He calmly touched his pounding heart, lifted his eyelids to stare at the still-dripping glass, and sat there motionless.

The sound of a bathroom door closing came from not far away.
