“Mom, Ningyi asked me to go to school together. I want to tell him that I won’t be with him today.”
Pei Zhen knew who Ji Ningyi was, so she just nodded: “Go.”
Pei Zhen can also drive. The white car has smooth lines. This is the first time Pei Jing has been in his mother’s car. He did not dare to move and sat in a proper manner. As the car started, he heard good music.
It was still very early when he arrived at school. Pei Jing squeezed his schoolbag tightly and said after getting out of the car: “Goodbye, Mom.”
Pei Zhen asked, “What time do you finish school in the afternoon?”
“Five o’clock.”
Pei Zhen nodded: “Go in, I’ll pick you up after school in the afternoon.”
After Pei Jing arrived in the classroom, Ji Ningyi came not long after. When Ji Ningyi saw him, he ran toward him and asked repeatedly: “Pei Jing, when did your mother come back? Did she scold you? Why did she send you to school?”
When Pei Jing knocked on the door of Ji Ningyi’s house this morning and told Ji Ningyi the news, Ji Ningyi was very surprised at the time and had many questions. But Pei Jing left in a hurry, fearing that Pei Zhen would be angry if he was left waiting.
Now that he was at school, there were still twenty minutes before morning self-study class, so there was still plenty of time.
Pei Jing was also a little confused: “I don’t know either.”
He told Ji Ningyi what happened last night and this morning without hiding it, and finally, he asked Ji Ningyi to help him keep it a secret.
Ji Ningyi quickly asked, “Pei Jing, are you injured?” (T/N: Wuwu… Even his mother did not ask this question!)
Pei Jing shook his head: “No.” It’s just that his arm hurt a little at the time. This morning, he found a bruise, but it did not hurt.
Ji Ningyi said: “Pei Jing, you are so brave. You dare to drive away the bad guys.”
Pei Jing was a little embarrassed by the compliment: “If someone bullies you, I will do the same.”
Because Ningyi is his friend and his mother is his relative. He will protect his friends and relatives.
Ji Ningyi believed what Pei Jing said: “You didn’t eat with us today. Zhile missed you very much. Because he missed you so much, he only drank a glass of milk. My father said that he hoped you would come to our house to eat every day.”
Of course, Ji Ningyi felt that Ji Zhile’s statement that he missed his Brother Pei Jing so much that he could not drink milk was a bit false. Perhaps the more real reason was that Ji Zhile did not want to drink it. Anyway, Zhile always had many reasons. He was not going to tell Pei Jing anymore.
Pei Jing was a little sad: “I can’t do it today. My mother will come to pick me up and go home.”
“Pei Jing, your mother seems to have changed a lot.” Ji Ningyi said.
Pei Jing also nodded. In fact, he had some answers in his heart. Maybe he protected his mother yesterday, so his mother became nicer to him, but Pei Jing did not know how long this kindness would last.
He actually doesn’t like this very much. It’s like walking on a tightrope, and he has to be constantly wary of falling. He even thinks it’s okay for his mother to do what she did before.
It’s just that his mother hugged him last night and sent him to school this morning. Pei Jing longed for such warmth again.
“Pei Jing, I really hope your mother will always get better.” Ji Ningyi said.
Pei Jing nodded and said nothing.
***
When school was over in the afternoon, Pei Jing was a little apprehensive. He followed the teacher out of the school with other students, but his eyes could not help but look at the gate of the school, and he only retracted it for a moment. When he arrived at the gate of the school, Pei Jing heard a familiar voice calling him.
“Pei Jing.”
Pei Jing raised his head and saw Pei Zhen. She was wearing light makeup, an ordinary shirt, and a long skirt. She was very different from her previous dress, but she was very beautiful. Pei Jing could hear the students in the class discussing quietly.
Pei Zhen walked toward him, took his hand, and said, “Go back.”
Pei Jing was a little at a loss when his hand was held by someone, and he turned to look at Ji Ningyi. Ji Ningyi smiled and waved to him: “See you tomorrow.”
At that moment, Pei Jing felt that everything around him was slowly getting better.
Pei Zhen took Pei Jing into the car and said, “We’re going out for dinner tonight. What would you like to eat?”
Pei Jing still did not dare to make a request: “Anything is fine.”
“What do you want to eat?” Pei Zhen asked again.
Pei Jing looked outside: “Can I eat KFC?”
He saw Ningyi for the first time there. Ningyi, Zhile, and Aunt Si Tian were eating KFC together. Pei Jing bought the cheapest burger. He thought it was delicious and wanted to eat it again.
It was just after school in the afternoon, and there were many people in KFC. Pei Zhen took Pei Jing’s hand and stepped into the store. She let Pei Jing choose a set meal, then found a seat to sit, and went to pick up the meal.
Pei Jing looked at his mother’s back and then at the crowd around him. He felt that at this moment, he was no different from them.
When Pei Zhen came back with the meal, Pei Jing ate quietly. Pei Zhen did not move, and she was looking down at her phone.
Pei Jing raised his head and carefully glanced at Pei Zhen many times. Finally, he pushed the most delicious egg tart to her and said, “Mom eats too.”
Pei Zhen glanced at him, picked it up, and took a bite. There were no words between them, but there were too many changes compared to before.
