DAVM Chapter 55.1

Hearing Ji Ningyi’s words, Ji Zhile’s originally happy expression suddenly changed. His eyes widened, and he asked Ji Ningyi: “Did Mom call you a baby?”

As soon as Ji Ningyi saw Ji Zhile’s surprised look, a subtle emotion arose in his heart, and he nodded: “Mom called me like that two months ago.”

Ji Zhile counted two months on his fingers, but even after counting on his fingers and knuckles, he still did not reach two months.

In an instant, Ji Zhile’s good mood that he had maintained for a long time disappeared.

As soon as Ji Ningyi saw Ji Zhile’s slightly depressed eyes, he comforted him, “Now, Mom has called you too.”

Ji Zhile muttered: “Two months…”

He did not have a clear picture of two months in his mind, but he knew it was a long, long time ago. It turned out that his mother had called his brother like this so long ago.

Just in time, Si Tian knocked on the door and walked in with a storybook in her hand. It was time for bedtime stories every night.

She saw two brothers sitting together, one big and one small, with similar facial features but different in subtle ways. One was handsome, and the other was cute. When they heard the knock on the door, they both raised their heads to look at her. They had the same watery eyes and looked very good-natured.

Si Tian was feeling so cute for a second and then asked them: “Can I tell the story from ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ tonight?”

Ji Zhile, who has always been very picky, nodded. Si Tian believed that this was due to letting Ji Zhile tell a story last night. Now that he knows that stories are not easy to tell, he will not be picky.

As usual, the three of them, mother and sons, sat on the same bed, one sitting on Si Tian’s side, next to her.

After Si Tian finished telling the story, Ji Zhile fell asleep.

Ji Ningyi said: “Mom, Zhile and I will sleep together tonight.”

Si Tian was very happy to see the two children reconciled, but she asked again: “Will Zhile disturb you when you sleep at night?”

Ji Ningyi said: “No, it’s just that sometimes he just wants me to accompany him to the bathroom.”

Si Tian smiled. He usually said he was brave and courageous, but as a result, he had to be accompanied when he went to the bathroom at night.

“Then, Ningyi, go to bed early.”

Si Tian put Ji Zhile on the bed, but as soon as she let go of Ji Zhile’s hand, Ji Zhile woke up. He opened his dazed eyes and looked at Si Tian.

“What?” It’s a strange thing that Ji Zhile hasn’t fallen asleep yet today.

Ji Zhile’s voice also contained sleepiness, and he called softly: “Mom.”

With a milky voice and a glutinous voice, Si Tian softened and touched Ji Zhile’s cheek: “What’s wrong?”

Then, she heard Ji Zhile ask in the same voice: “Which babies does Mom have?”

Si Tian was stunned for a moment. Before she could understand what Ji Zhile meant, she heard him ask again: “My brother is a baby, and so am I. Does Mom have other babies?”

Si Tian:?

She was dumbfounded.

Ji Ningyi, who was on the upper bunk, naturally also heard Ji Zhile’s voice. He immediately understood what Ji Zhile meant. His face became slightly hot, and he explained in a low voice: “Mom, tonight Zhile said you called him baby, and then I told Zhile, Mom called me that too…”

In fact, he was a little secretly happy at the time because Mom had called him that before.

But now he feels a little embarrassed to say it in front of his mother. He is obviously more than three years older than Zhile and is already in the first grade, yet he still compares this with Zhile.

After Ji Ningyi’s explanation, Si Tian finally understood what Ji Zhile said, and she was a little embarrassed. Can this illusion of being like a scumbag go away? She doesn’t call every child ‘baby’ either.

Ji Zhile grabbed the hem of her clothes and asked stubbornly: “Does Mom have other babies?”

“No, no, it’s just you and Ningyi.” Si Tian said quickly.

Ji Zhile said, “Okay, my Brother and I only have one mother.”

He let go of Si Tian’s clothes, his eyelids drooped again, and he felt sleepy: “Good night, Mom.”

“Good night.”

Si Tian turned off the light and left the room.

After walking out, Si Tian was still troubled by the strange emotion just now for quite a while.

Ji Zhile’s confused questioning made her like calling everyone ‘baby’, and she did not dare to look at Ji Ningyi.

Si Tian sighed. She was entangled in even a title issue, being a mother is really difficult.
