“Mom.” Just as Si Tian was hesitating, Ji Ningyi’s voice came from the room, and the voice was panicked.
“I’m going to see Ningyi.” Si Tian walked past Ji Jiangzhou.
Ji Ningyi was a restrained child and rarely panicked like this. Si Tian strode closer and opened the door, only to find that Ji Ningyi was having a nightmare.
His eyes were closed tightly, his brows were frowned upon, and his hands were tightly grasping the corner of the quilt, feeling extremely helpless.
And Ji Zhile, who was sleeping next to him, remained motionless, sleeping obediently without any sign of being disturbed.
Si Tian patted Ji Ningyi on the shoulder: “Ningyi.”
Ji Ningyi woke up quickly, and when he saw Si Tian, he threw himself directly into her arms. He was so frightened, so his words were a little messy: “I’m having a nightmare, Mom doesn’t like me anymore, don’t let me come close.”
As he spoke, he hugged Si Tian tighter, and his voice was filled with bitterness: “Was Mom really sick? Is Mom cured now?”
Hearing his words, Si Tian was startled. Of course, she knew when the illness Ji Ningyi mentioned happened. He always thought that her change was due to illness.
Now it seemed that Ji Ningyi had also noticed something after the incident in the morning.
“Ningyi, don’t be afraid. Mom will always like you.” She did not answer Ji Ningyi’s question directly. He was still too young, so Si Tian didn’t want to scare him.
Ji Ningyi said in a muffled voice: “Mom, please always remember, it turns out that Mom has forgotten about it.”
Si Tian stroked his soft hair gently: “I will remember it.”
“Then Ningyi, can you tell Mom what nightmare you just had now?” Si Tian always felt that telling the things he was afraid of would make him feel better, but if he kept it in his heart, it would turn into a knot.
Ji Ningyi grabbed her hand tightly and said in a low voice: “Mom is sick, she doesn’t like me anymore, she doesn’t talk to me and looks at me disgustingly, just like Aunt Xu looked at us today.”
The malice revealed in that look was so profound and familiar that Ji Ningyi kept remembering it. He thought that it would be good to see his parents, but he had another nightmare when he slept.
Something slowly flowed in Si Tian’s eyes, and finally, she calmed down: “Ningyi, it turns out that Mom didn’t do a good enough job. Mom won’t be like this again in the future.”
Ji Ningyi shook his head and hugged her waist: “Mom is fine.”
Si Tian gently patted his back to comfort him, and she said in a gentle and low voice: “I know Ningyi is very smart and understands many things. If Ningyi still remembers this incident after graduating from elementary school, can Mom tell you everything I know?”
“Ningyi is still too young now. Mom just wants you to forget the unpleasant things that happened and grow up happily.”
Ji Ningyi nodded: “Mom, I understand.”
He was very obedient. Si Tian asked him not to ask, so he stopped asking. He rested his head on Si Tian’s arm, and his hair hung down softly.
“Does Ningyi still want to sleep now?”
Ji Ningyi made a request that was absolutely impossible to make at ordinary times: “Can Mom accompany me?”
“Of course.”
Si Tian sat beside his bed and held his little hand. Ji Ningyi pursed his lips and smiled softly. He glanced around the room and finally landed on the door, his pupils shrinking suddenly.
“Dad.”
Ji Ningyi panicked in his heart. He had just been woken up from a nightmare by his mother. He was so confused that he didn’t see his father. He threw himself directly into his mother’s arms. Could his father have heard what he said?
Will he take them away and prevent his mother from living with them?
Ji Ningyi watched Ji Jiangzhou approach. Then, Ji Jiangzhou lightly placed his palm on his hair: “Ningyi, don’t be afraid. Mom and Dad are here to accompany you.”
The warmth coming from the head made it easy to relax. Ji Ningyi hummed, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he closed her eyes hesitantly.
His father didn’t ask him anything else. Maybe he didn’t hear what he just said. Ji Ningyi didn’t dare to ask and shouldn’t have said anything. For the first time, he became a timid turtle.
It took Ji Ningyi a long time to fall asleep. He thought that everything was fine, but after his breathing gradually stabilized, Ji Jiangzhou looked at Si Tian, lowered his voice, and said: “Si Tian, can you tell me what happened before? Is it related to the fact that you turned off your phone last night?”
Although it was a question, because the speaking speed was slow and the voice was gentle, it did not make people feel intimidated but made people feel a sense of security.
Si Tian put Ji Ningyi’s hand on the bed and said: “Let’s go out and talk.”
When she stood at the door, she looked back and saw two children lying on the bed. Ji Zhile was still sleeping in the same position as before, motionless. The quality of his sleep was really good.
