DAVM Chapter 71.6

Si Tian gave him a pitiful look and then opened the bag on the spot, ready to show the poor father the gift the child gave to his mother.

Inside is a hair clip dotted with a pearl. It was simple and beautiful. Si Tian thought it looked familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, she remembered that she had seen this hair clip in the accessories store, but she just looked at it and did not buy it. Girls always like to look at some accessories in department stores.

So when did Ji Ningyi buy this? Si Tian remembered that when she took Ji Ningyi to buy a mobile phone strap, after they paid for it and went out, Ji Ningyi only had the mobile phone strap in his hand.

Then, it could only be when Ji Ningyi went back to buy water. She had no idea that Ji Ningyi would buy her a gift at that time and quietly gave it to her after returning home.

Ji Jiangzhou’s eyes fell on the hairpin, and he restrained himself from moving away: “It’s very beautiful.”

Si Tian said, “Yes, Ningyi’s vision is pretty good.”

“If you like it, you can also ask Ningyi for it.”

She felt that Ji Jiangzhou’s expression was calm, but he really looked like he was jealous.

Ji Jiangzhou said: “No, Ningyi is willing to give it to you.”

“Okay.” Si Tian took the hairpin in her hand and then gave the bag to Ji Jiangzhou, winking, “Here it is, then we all have it.”

Ji Jiangzhou held the empty bag in his hand, which contained a message written by Ji Ningyi to Si Tian. He was silent for a moment and then said after a moment: “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Go to sleep, good night.”

Si Tian closed the door, put the hairpin on the dressing table, and decided to wear it tomorrow.

The next day, Si Tian put her hair up with hairpins. She was either wearing it or tied it with a hair tie before. Such a small difference could not escape the eyes of the children at home. Ji Zhile was the first to notice: “Mom’s hair changed today.”

The other two children also looked at it, and Pei Jing said, “Auntie looks so good.”

Ji Ningyi’s eyes fell on the hairpin, and there was some joy in his eyes. Si Tian blinked at Ji Ningyi and quietly said to him when no one was paying attention: “Thank you, Ningyi.”

Today became the happiest day for Ji Ningyi. His mother accepted his gift and put on the hairpin. Pei Jing also accepted the mobile phone and gave him a pen.

Pei Jing was about to leave. Ji Ningyi had been feeling a little depressed recently, but now he was much better. He accepted Pei Jing’s departure and understood that their feelings would not change with the distance.

Pei Jing left on Saturday. The weather was very good, and the sky was clear and blue.

When Pei Jing’s grandmother came, she took the bus, which took a long time. When she went back, she took the train. The station was bustling with people.

Pei Jing was carrying his schoolbag and holding his grandmother’s hand. His grandmother helped him carry his clothes bag. He did not bring anything with him when he came, and it was the same when he went back.

Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile held Si Tian’s hands and looked at Pei Jing reluctantly.

Pei Jing said: “I will call you often.”

Ji Zhile said: “I want it too, and I want you to call me too!”

Pei Jing nodded. His eyes were slightly red: “Goodbye.”

Pei Jing’s small figure walked into the ticket gate and slowly disappeared with the crowd.

Ji Zhile hugged Si Tian’s thigh, buried his head on it, rubbed his cheek, and said in a muffled voice, “Mom, I don’t like this.”

As soon as Ji Ningyi looked ahead, he also pursed his lips tightly, trying to restrain his emotions, but his eyes could not help but turn red.

Si Tian said: “We will meet again in the future. Parting is also a lesson in life, and everyone will experience it.”

It’s just that for Ji Zhile and Ji Ningyi, it seems that they experienced it at a young age.

Ji Zhile asked ignorantly, “Then, will Mom and Dad leave us?”

Si Tian said, “No.”

Ji Ningyi squeezed Si Tian’s hand tightly, and his voice choked with sobs: “Mom, don’t leave us.”

“Pei Jing has gone home. I don’t have a best friend anymore.”

Pei Jing’s departure was destined long ago, but he did not want his relatives around him to leave too.

Ji Zhile heard Ji Ningyi’s voice and quickly turned to look at him. Seeing Ji Ningyi’s red eyes, Ji Zhile said in a soft and waxy voice: “Brother, don’t be sad. I will be your best friend and will never leave you for the rest of my life.”

His eyes were clear and bright, and he held Ji Ningyi’s hand. His palm was soft and warm, and he could not have made a more serious promise.
