Ran Ying’s expression froze.
Jiang Ranyang said: “Ji Ningyi has a younger brother, so I want it too.”
It took Ran Ying a lot of effort to calm down. She still tried to reason with Jiang Ranyang in a gentle voice: “Yangyang, you can’t have a younger brother just because you want. It involves many aspects.”
Jiang Ranyang: “As long as Mom gives birth, isn’t it my brother?”
“Of course not.” Ran Ying immediately denied it. She wanted to tell Jiang Ranyang a lot, such as how hard it was to prepare for pregnancy and how to take care of the child after birth, but Jiang Ranyang didn’t understand these things.
The most important thing was that Ran Ying had no idea of having a second child. Jiang Ranyang alone was enough for her. She was often called by the teacher to complain that Jiang Ranyang had conflicts with his classmates at school. What happened to Jiang Ranyang already gave Ran Ying a huge headache.
Jiang Ranyang’s father had a good temper, which caused Jiang Ranyang, the devil in the world, to not listen to his father at all, and only listen to her at home.
Ran Ying was determined not to torture herself by having a second child. Fortunately, her husband had the same idea as her.
But no one expected that the words of ‘wanting a younger brother’ would come out of Jiang Ranyang’s mouth.
“Yangyang.” Ran Ying said, “Mom can’t promise you this.”
Jiang Ranyang: “Didn’t Mom say she would do her best?”
Ran Ying simply stopped being gentle and objected directly: “I can’t do it even if I try my best, so don’t even think about it.”
Jiang Ranyang was still a little disappointed: “Okay.”
He said to himself: “When I have a child in the future, I will give him a younger brother.”
Hearing her son’s innocent words, Ran Ying couldn’t hold back a smile: “How old are you that you already think about your children?”
Jiang Ranyang said: “Anyway, sooner or later, I will grow up.”
Ran Ying didn’t say anything. She felt that Jiang Ranyang was taking it for granted.
It wasn’t that she looked down on her son. It was just that Jiang Ranyang was now dark-skinned and direct in his speech. He also felt that playing with girls was detrimental to his masculinity, and there was nothing about him that girls liked.
Mu Xiaoshi was the only girl in the variety show. Mu Xiaoshi could talk to others, but she stayed far away every time she saw Jiang Ranyang.
Ran Ying felt that whether Jiang Ranyang could find a wife in the future was another matter, so he shouldn’t think about higher-level things.
But Ran Ying didn’t say this. Jiang Ranyang was too young.

On the other side, Si Tian took Ji Zhile and Ji Ningyi back home.
Ji Zhile was still holding an empty bottle in his hand. When he arrived at the door of his house, he put the bottle into the cardboard box next to him. There were already many empty bottles in the cardboard box.
Si Tian had long seen Ji Zhile looking for a cardboard box to pack bottles in. Ji Zhile didn’t bring the garbage home, so Si Tian let him go.
Now, she asked: “Zhile, do you still want to sell bottles to make money?”
Ji Zhile shook his head: “I don’t make money from this anymore. I have money now.”
At that time, some of the money earned from selling fruits was shared with Si Tian, but Ji Zhile still kept some in his own pocket. Now he no longer valued the few yuan earned from selling bottles.
It was just that today Aunt Ran said that many grandmas made a living by picking up bottles, so Ji Zhile decided to give these bottles away.
After listening to Ji Zhile’s thoughts, Si Tian expressed full affirmation to him, but she also told Ji Zhile that it was a good thing to be kind, but don’t be deceived.
She felt that her education was quite good. The future vicious male supporting role was already willing to help others at a young age.
After returning home, the first thing Ji Zhile and Ji Ningyi did was take a shower.
The bathroom in the villa was naturally completely different from that of living in a tent. It was spacious, clean, and bright. Ji Zhile played with the warm water with his hands, throwing it up and watching the water drop and splash.
Ji Ningyi urged him: “Zhile, stop playing and take a shower quickly.”
Ji Zhile didn’t listen to him. He pointed at the smooth white tiles and said, “Brother, look, there are no black shadows here. There must be no monsters or ghosts.”
Ji Ningyi said: “Mom said, there are no ghosts in the world. Zhile, please stop thinking nonsense.”
Ji Zhile snorted twice: “Even if there is, I’m not afraid.”
He completely forgot the time when he was living in a tent and did not dare to take a bath alone and had to be accompanied by Ji Ningyi.
Hello~~ Do you still remember our event’s rule? If not, you can read it again in the previous chapter.
I want to emphasize a few things:
1. The event time is from Monday, Feb 12th, 2024 to Wednesday, Feb 14th, 2024 14:02 (UTC+7 timezone)
So, every chapter released during that duration will be counted.
2. The Final Number is the accumulated amount during the duration of the event (3 days.)
The Final Number will be written on the chapter updated on the last day of the event in the Comment Area.
But, it’s okay if you leave a comment each day, so you need not to count it over and over again.
3. When I say to COUNT ALL, it means ALL
A little hint: Do you realize that there is a love sign in my Ko-fi logo below? Hehe~~
I say again COUNT every ‘love’ word or sign that appeared. COUNT. IT. ALL.
PS: Btw, this event is much easier that guessing my Chinese zodiac, right? Hehe~~
❤️❤️❤️Happy counting! ❤️❤️❤️
You can support your favorite novel by buying me a cup of Ko-fi ( ˘▽˘)っ♨
I will really appreciate it. ❤️❤️❤️
