In the end, she only found a photo in the online disk. In the photo, she was holding a little baby, and Ji Ningyi was standing next to her, with his eyes crooked and smiling.
Si Tian noticed that the photo was uploaded three years ago when Ji Zhile should have just been born.
The photo was not taken very well, and it was a bit blurry when she zoomed in. Si Tian thought that the baby should be Ji Zhile.
The newly born Ji Zhile was not as cute as he is now, but his eyes were big, bright, and clean.
Ji Ningyi had not changed much from now, except that his face seemed to be a bit more fleshy at that time, similar to Ji Zhile’s now. But his smile was quiet and beautiful, and his temperament was completely different from Ji Zhile’s.
Si Tian discovered that she seemed to have never seen photos of Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile when they were younger. She hadn’t seen a photo album at home for so long, and there was no trace of her two children in her Moments. There were only some text descriptions and mosaic photos on Weibo.
She never knew what Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile were like before.
Si Tian lowered her eyes and saved the only photo.
It was already eleven o’clock in the evening. She stood up and went to the room to see Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile. Now they were sleeping together, and a new photo was posted on the headboard of their own side of the bed.
Under the warm yellow light, Si Tian looked at these two photos again. She didn’t seem to be very ugly in the photos anymore.
Si Tian smiled unconsciously and lowered her head to look at the two children who were in a sweet dream. Ji Ningyi was sleeping in a good posture, lying flat on his back, his cheeks as white as porcelain. Ji Zhile was almost there. He was half lying on his chest, his fingers holding the corners of the quilt. The light fell on his hair, casting a warm glow.
Si Tian leaned down and gently touched the cheeks of the two children with her fingers.
She suddenly felt a lot relieved. At least, she would accompany them in their future.

Since he went to bed very early the day before, Ji Zhile woke up relatively early the next morning. However, he did not get up immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes again and lay on the bed for a while.
“Brother.” His voice was still a little hoarse after he had just woken up. Ji Zhile’s hands were also touching everywhere on the bed.
He didn’t want to get up alone, so he wanted to be with his brother so that his brother could fold the quilt, to help him fold it because they slept together.
It was just that after touching for a while without touching anyone, Ji Zhile opened his eyes abruptly.
Ji Ningyi had gone.
Ji Zhile immediately got up from the bed, ran out wearing slippers, opened the door, and saw his brother…and his mother in the living room.
His mother already got up too.
Ji Zhile wondered if he got up late.
In the living room, Ji Ningyi raised his head as soon as he heard the sound. When he saw Ji Zhile, he waved to him: “Zhile, come and take a look at the photo.”
Photo? What photo?
Ji Zhile ran over and found that his brother was holding his mother’s mobile phone and smiling happily, showing his teeth. His mother sat aside drinking water with a gentle smile.
Ji Zhile turned his head to look. On the screen of the mobile phone, his mother was holding a child, and there was another child who looked a little like his brother standing beside his mother.
Ji Zhile felt a little strange.
What about him? Why without him?
Si Tian asked: “Does Ningyi still remember this photo?”
Ji Ningyi was a little embarrassed: “I don’t remember. I took a lot of photos with Mom.”
Si Tian: “I’ll show you more photos when we get home later.”
Ji Zhile felt a little unhappy when he heard their conversation. He pointed at the child in his mother’s arms in the photo and said, “Why does Mom hold other babies?”
He was not in the photo, so Ji Zhile was very unhappy.
Si Tian: “Ah, this is not another baby.”
Ji Zhile didn’t finish listening and was even more unhappy. He deliberately said: “He is so ugly. He looks like a monkey.”
