Capítulo 3: Relief
Mother Ji also fully agreed to father Ji's statement in her heart but she still pretended to be dissatisfied: "Fine fine fine! I was wrong. Rong'er is just youthful and energetic. So for her to quickly jump around again, she needs to eat more nutritious food. Go go go, breakfast is ready. Let's eat it quickly lest it goes cold."
Ji RongXue was stolen from father Ji's arms and taken to the dining hall by her enthusiastic mother.
Father Ji stood at the same spot for a few seconds then chuckled and turned his head to his second son who still had a blank look of confusion on his face.
"Yu'er, why are you sitting there with such a dumb face? Come, it's breakfast time."
Ji RuanYu was brought to his senses when he heard father Ji call his name. He quickly put away the blank look on his face and returned to his usual calm face. He nodded. "En."
Then he stood up from the sofa and finally noticed his mobile phone on the floor. He silently picked it up and turned it off, following his father to the dining hall.
The servants at the side also resumed their works but they were still thinking about what happened earlier in their mind.
Inside the spacious dining hall, Ji RongXue sat beside mother Ji while father Ji and Ji RuanYu sat across them. The table was served with delicious looking dishes but most of them were vegetable dishes that patients could eat.
Due to Ji RongXue's poor health, she had to strictly follow a balanced diet prepared by her nutrition specialist. But her family felt bad for her so they found a skilled chef to cook her healthy and delicious food. The dishes prepared for her looked plain but were actually quite tasty.
For someone like Ji RongXue, who had to survive eating plain biscuits and stale bread in her previous life, even this plain dish was a luxury. She was quite hungry after the whole transmigration stuff so she quickly gobbled up her food.
Although it's said she gobbled up her food, her eating posture was still graceful and elegant. Table manners and etiquette was something deeply rooted in her bones since small so it naturally showed up with her smallest of movements. It was really a good thing that Ji RongXue in the book was a member of a rich aristocratic family or else this could've raised people's suspicion.
Seeing her eat her food with such a gusto, everyone couldn't help but feel their own appetite increase.
Was the food today really so delicious?
Ji RuanYu, whose attention had been on Ji RongXue since getting inside the dining hall, silently stared at her bright eyes focused on her food then shifted his gaze to the food in his plate. He curiously raised his spoon and scooped a bit of the same dish that she was eating then put it in his mouth. He froze with his action for a few seconds then calmly swallowed the food in his mouth and never touched the dish again.
No one noticed his silent grief as everyone's eyes were focused on Ji RongXue who was happily eating her food. Her face was expressionless but her eyes were bright like a small child looking at something tasty.
Mother Ji was full of smiles as she helped her scoop out more food to eat. She even urged her from the sides: "Slow down, slow down. No one will steal your food. If you want to eat more, mom will tell the chef to cook it."
Ji RongXue obediently nodded at her words and slowed her movements but the food in her plate still disappeared at a quick rate.
Father Ji chuckled delightfully, his eyes full of doting as he looked at her. "As expected of my daughter, even her eating gesture is beautiful."
Ji RuanYu couldn't help but open his mouth to ask. "Is it really that good?"
Ji RongXue raised her head to look at him while chewing her food. She quickly swallowed it and answered with a smile, "It's delicious."
Her smile was very small but it still brightened up her fair countenance. What she said was her true thought. Compared to the food she had in her previous life, the food prepared by the chef was really delicious. It was probably the most delicious food she had after so many years.
Her eyes were very sincere when she said it and paired with her smile, it had a blinding effect. Ji RuanYu swallowed down the words he was about to say and speechlessly looked at her.
She...seems to have changed. He thought.
He lowered his eyes to hide the complicated emotions and continued eating.
The breakfast was finished in a very harmonious manner. Everyone present had a smile on their face when they went out of the dining hall. The chef uncle, whose dishes were praised by Ji RongXue, was even given a raise in his salary. He cried tears of gratitude for Ji RongXue in his heart.
The young miss is so generous!
The new year was in a few days so father Ji still had works to do in the company. After staying for a while, he quickly had the chauffeur drive the car to the company.
Mother Ji also had her own company that was involved in entertainment industry but she had more free time in her hands as most of her works were handled by her vice-president. So she stayed at home to spend more time with Ji RongXue.
Ji RuanYu was in his adolescence so he liked to hangout with his friends more than staying at home. After breakfast, he went out to play with his friends after leaving behind his promise to come back on time.
Ji RongXue was still new to this world so she first decided to research on the general knowledge of this world and familiarise herself with the things she needed to know.
For example, technology.
There were no available technologies such as mobile phones and computers in doomsday. Only some technological devices used on researches were made through scarce resources and were only accessible by the researchers and high ranking members. Ji RongXue had enough authority to access it but she wasn't interested in the researches nor did she have free time to check on it so she had to catch up with the latest technologies in this world to avoid any blunder.
But just as she was about to head back to her room, mother Ji suddenly clasped her hand and said. "Rong'er, what do you say we go shopping today? It's been so long since we last went out together. You can also tell me more about your school life as we shop around. And new year is coming so we can also buy gifts in advance. What do you think?"
Ji RongXue awkwardly looked at mother Ji who was equally looking at her with expectation and enthusiasm. She helplessly sighed in her heart.
How can I refuse when you look at me like that? Fine, it's just shopping right? I've been to the shopping mall many times to scavenge for food while avoiding zombies. No big deal! As for familiarising, I can first look around and see for myself. Much better!
With such thoughts, Ji RongXue nodded her head and agreed to her proposal. Mother Ji joyfully hugged her and had her prepare to go out.
Ji RongXue helplessly went back to her room and rummaged through her huge wardrobe but she couldn't find any clothes to her liking. It was all filled with frilly, girlish clothes and the colours were even more...
Ji RongXue suddenly felt that it was really a good idea to go shopping. She could replace the clothes with new ones. She really wanted to sigh at the original owner's taste. Maybe it's just what young girls these days like to wear?
Anyway, she searched for a long time and finally found some decent clothes for her to wear. It was a white turtleneck sweater and black trousers. She also wrapped a white muffler on her neck, wore warm gloves on her hands and a woolen cap on her head, leaving her hair flowing freely on her back.
She didn't wear any makeup and just applied some cream to protect her skin from cold, and she was done.
When she was about to head downstairs, she noticed the original owner's phone on the bedside table. She thought about it and put the phone inside her trousers' pocket. She could look at it on the way and have an understanding about the original owner's acquaintances and preferences.
After a last glance at her clothes, she went downstairs where mother Ji was already waiting.
When mother Ji saw her dress up, her eyes lit up. "My Rong'er is so beautiful! I can't take my eyes off at all!"
Ji RongXue awkwardly accepted her praise and they quickly boarded the car after a few more words of appreciation from her mother. The chauffeur drove to the shopping centre after getting mother Ji's instructions.
It was a half an hour drive to the shopping centre so Ji RongXue decided to look through her mobile phone in the mean time. She divided her conscious to listen to mother Ji's excited babbling and fiddling with her mobile phone.
The original owner's mobile phone was the latest smartphone version with many features. She pressed her index finger on the fingerprint lock to unlock the phone. The wallpaper was of a selfie picture of the original owner but there was an additional guy at the back with only his side-face shown in the picture.
She looked at it for a while then scrolled through the apps. There were online shopping apps, weibo, wechat and such other apps. The phone gallery was filled with photos of the original owner, her family and the rest were sneak shots of a handsome young man.
This must be Mo JinChen. She thought.
She scrolled down the gallery without looking at a particular photo and found that almost 80% of the gallery was filled with pictures of Mo JinChen. The guy in the wallpaper was also Mo JinChen.
The original owner really loved the male lead to the point of obsession.
Ji RongXue sighed internally. But then she decisively deleted all the pictures containing Mo JinChen and changed the wallpaper to a cute white cat's picture.
The original owner's obsession towards the male lead was something she had to change no matter what. And now that it was her who was living as Ji RongXue, the more the reason that she erased all the feelings the original owner had for someone who didn't even appreciate it.
The past has now passed, the future will be brighter when you let go of it.
Ji RongXue checked the weibo and found that her posts were mostly about some cute things and trivial matters that young girls were interested in. She scrolled through them and found that there weren't much so she understood that the original owner didn't really have the habit of posting frequently which was a good thing. She looked through those she was following and didn't find anything wrong.
Then she looked through the wechat account. There were some chat logs with some friends, maybe her school mates, and there was a message sent to Mo JinChen not too long ago. It was asking about his plans on the holiday but it was left on seen. There was not much conversation between the original owner and the male lead and most of them were just original owner's messages with only a few replies.
Ji RongXue felt pity for the original owner. Just look, who could ever continue loving someone who never even cared about them like the original owner? It was really a pity that her love was directed towards someone who would never reciprocate.
She was just about to check other messages when the car suddenly stopped and the driver's voice was heard.
"Madam, we have arrived."
Ji RongXue finally raised her head from her phone and looked outside the window. Tall buildings towered above her and the whole place was bustling with activities as people went in and out of the shops in twos and threes. The sun wasn't very bright today and the air was cold outside but the atmosphere was warm as people walked past each other with smiles on their faces.
Ji RongXue was lost in her thoughts at the festive sight.
How many years has it been since she saw such a huge crowd of people, walking and laughing carefreely? There were no looks of despair and terror on their faces, there was no panic and tense atmosphere around the city. There was only happiness and hope for their future in their bright eyes that were full of life.
This was something she had never even dreamed of seeing again.
At this moment, she finally accepted the fact that she had really transmigrated inside a book. The world was still peaceful and will always be for a long time. The end of the world that had devastated the whole world was no longer here.
The world was still as beautiful as ever.
Right, she had finally escaped that hellish place. And now, she was granted a new life by the gods above so she must not make any mistakes and live well. She will live well for the sake of the original owner, for the sake of her dead parents' wish for her survival, for the people who truly cherished Ji RongXue.
She will live for herself so that there won't be any regrets when her death came again.
Mother Ji stopped speaking when she saw that they'd arrived. She turned to Ji RongXue and said, "Let's go, Rong'er."
Ji RongXue turned around and smiled brightly like the sun. It was the first ever smile that she showed after coming to this world which was filled with pure happiness and even had a hint of getting relieved from some invisible shackle that was restraining her before.
"Yes, mom."
