CH 24.1

Si Tian has already walked into Ji Ningyi’s room.

Ji Ningyi’s room layout is different from Ji Zhile’s. Ji Zhile has more odds and ends, toys, and the like, while Ji Ningyi’s is clean and tidy. Even the books on the desk are neatly arranged in order of height.

There are no dolls on the bed and the quilt is neatly folded at the moment, so she can tell that he has not slept yet.

Ji Ningyi stood next to Si Tian, ​​looking a little shy. Finally, he raised his head to look at her: “Would Mom be afraid to sleep alone?”

Si Tian smiled: “Yes.”

Ji Ningyi pushed open the wardrobe, took out a doll from the lowest drawer, and handed it to her: “Let Xiaolu sleep with Mom, so Mom will not be afraid.”

Si Tian looked down at the doll that Ji Ningyi held in his hand. The doll was wearing green clothes. It was already a little old. It could be seen that it was done by herself since the needlework on it was very lame. This very pulling manual work made Si Tian strangely have a sense of familiarity.

“Where did the doll come from?” Si Tian asked.

Ji Ningyi lowered his eyes. The thick long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes: “It was given to me by Mom.”

Although Mom seems to have forgotten.

Si Tian was a little surprised and took the doll: “Is it me?”

She did not have any memories of the past, but looking at this handmade doll, she felt that the level of rottenness was similar to hers. She usually sews clothes by herself, which is the same level.

Si Tian looked around carefully and then returned the doll to Ji Ningyi: “Since it was given to you by Mom, you can keep it.”

Ji Ningyi smoothed the doll’s clothes with his hands: “But Mom will be afraid to sleep alone.”

Si Tian said, “Ningyi can accompany me.”

Ji Ningyi nodded, with a faint smile on his lips: “I will accompany Mom.”

Si Tian saw Ji Ningyi put the green doll back into its original place. He moved lightly and looked very cherished. Judging from the degree of maintenance of the doll, she also knew that it was Ji Ningyi’s cherished toy. Although it was a little old, there was no damage to it.

Si Tian frowned. She actually did not know much about the original owner and the two children. But judging from Ji Zhile’s attitude and the retrospective of the time the system was used, the original owner was not good to the two children. Then, why do you still give Ji Ningyi a handmade doll, and Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile have completely different attitudes towards her?

Si Tian asked tentatively, “Does Ningyi like Mom very much?”

Ji Ningyi nodded with a serious tone: “I like it the most.”

Si Tian felt a little melancholy: “Then what if Mom is gone?”

Ji Ningyi looked a little panicked. His tone became a little hasty: “Why isn’t it here? Mom is by my side now.”

Si Tian is still not ready to let the child know about things like traveling through time and space that involve unrealistic factors and only comforts him by saying, “It’s just a hypothesis.”

Ji Ningyi frowned and then let go. He asked her cautiously: “Is Mom sick?”

“I know that after Zhile was born, Mom was sick. But now Mom is cured.” He said, “No matter what Mom becomes, I love Mom the most.”

Si Tian’s heart was sore and soft. Ji Ningyi was very serious when he spoke. His voice was still a little immature, but his tone was firm, like a promise.

Although she did not understand what the illness Ji Ningyi was talking about, after all, the child’s eyes would beautify many things, she rubbed Ji Ningyi’s hair: “I will like Ningyi too.”

Ji Ningyi did not seem to like his hair being touched very much. His body was a little awkward, but he was obedient and did not move. His cheeks were slightly red: “I’ll sleep with Mom. Don’t be afraid, Mom.”

Si Tian hummed and put down her hand.

Ji Ningyi took the initiative to spread out the quilt, put his own pillow on the side, and then took out a cushion and put it where the original pillow was. He pointed to the pillow and said, “This is where Mom slept.”

Si Tian was very embarrassed. She was here to coax the child to sleep, but in the end, she became the child to coax herself. She immediately said, “I’m going to get my own pillow. Just wait here for me.”

Ji Ningyi nodded obediently: “Okay, Mom.”

As soon as Si Tian went out, she asked the system in her mind: “Why did it develop like this?”

From coaxing the children to sleeping together, the span is a bit long, and Si Tian prefers to sleep alone.

Xiao Ai said: [Host, maybe this is due to maternal love.]

Si Tian was about to collapse: “No, I’m just a young girl in her twenties.”

But having said that, when Si Tian returned to her room, she immediately went to take a shower, then went out with her own pillow, and happened to meet Ji Jiangzhou.

The man was a little confused: “Where are you going?”

To show her innocence, Si Tian immediately said: “I’m not going to your room, I’m going to sleep with Ningyi.”

Ji Jiangzhou said: “Ningyi is already six years old.”

Si Tian raised a finger: “Only this once.”

She has already promised Ji Ningyi and she can’t go back on it.

Ji Jiangzhou nodded. When Si Tian walked past him, he smelled a light floral fragrance, like the smell of shower gel. His eyes followed for a moment and he was consciously pulled back by the owner.

Although Si Tian has speeded up as much as possible, it will take 20 minutes after taking a bath and taking care of her skin. So, when Si Tian came to the door of Ji Ningyi’s room again, she was already ready for Ji Ningyi to fall asleep.

But the door was ajar and she pushed it open with a light push.

Ji Ningyi sat on his bed. He lowered his head and did not know what he was thinking. He kept the same posture as when she left.

“I’m sorry, Ningyi, Mom is late.”

Hearing the voice, Ji Ningyi raised his head. The moment he saw her, his eyes seemed to be lit up.

“It’s not too late,” He said.

“Then, let’s go to sleep.” Si Tian put the pillow outside, but Ji Ningyi moved it inside and said, “I’ll sleep outside to protect Mom.”

Si Tian could not help laughing. Being protected by a child, although it sounded funny, Si Tian could not stand it when he said it seriously.

“Okay.”

Si Tian is not used to sleeping with other people. Her hands always feel itchy and want to touch the phone. But Ji Ningyi sleeps in a good position, lying on his back without moving.

Perhaps sensing the restlessness in her heart, Ji Ningyi asked, “Can’t Mom sleep?”

Si Tian is very honest: “A little bit.”

Ji Ningyi got up on the bed with one hand and said, “Then let me tell Mom a story.”

Si Tian:!

“No need.” Let a child tell herself a bedtime story and her newly grown conscience will really hurt.

However, Ji Ningyi had already gotten out of bed, took a book of fairy tales, put it on his lap, and sat on the bed. He asked, “Does Mom listen to the story of Snow White?”

This scene strangely coincided with the scene in Ji Zhile’s room just now. Seeing Ji Ningyi’s very positive appearance, Si Tian did not have the nerve to hit him, so she could only say: “Okay.”

Ji Ningyi opened the Grimm’s fairy tales and began to read. Ji Ningyi’s Mandarin is quite standard. He reads very emotionally, but his voice is a little immature. This reminds Si Tian of elementary school students reading texts emotionally in class. She could not help laughing.

Ji Ningyi’s eyes brightened: “Does Mom like to hear this story?”

Si Tian suppressed the smile in her throat: “Yes.”
