Just thinking of something, his eyes darkened again, and he whispered to himself: “But, I don’t think Mom is sick. She doesn’t have a cough or fever and can’t sleep.”
Si Tian’s voice softened: “It will be fine. It will return to its original state.”
Xia Jiaran nodded, and his eyes brightened a little: “Mom takes me out every week and plays games with me every day. Sometimes she thinks I have too much homework and has to help me write it.”
Thinking of the past, Xia Jiaran’s voice became lighter: “But I didn’t ask Mom to write it for me. I can finish it myself.”
“I really hope Mom gets better soon,” He said.
In the end, he still blamed his mother’s change on illness. Although he had denied it just now, he still thought so.
Because the disease would get better one day, but there was no hope for other changes caused by unknown causes.
Si Tian helped him dig the blue paint into the palette, added water to make a light blue, and said in a soft voice, “She will get better.”
By now, Si Tian had basically been able to confirm her guess, but she didn’t find a suitable time to verify it with Xiao Ai during the recording of the program.
She calmed down and accompanied her two children to paint the plaster. The plaster dolls that each group of families got were characters from classic cartoons. The children all liked it, and they were very serious about painting it.
This task looked easy, but it took patience to paint it well.
The one with the least patience in the children’s group was Jiang Ranyang, so he was also the fastest to apply it and showed it off everywhere, but he ran into trouble with Ji Zhile.
Ji Zhile didn’t envy him at all for how quickly he finished it: “Yours doesn’t look good, but my brother painted it the best and prettiest!”
He was a master of flattery.
Ji Ningyi’s cheeks turned slightly red, and he said, “Everyone is great.”
Jiang Ranyang took a closer look and found that it was indeed as Ji Zhile said. The colors painted by Ji Ningyi were almost the same as those in the album. There was no problem with one color being darker than the other, and the junctions between the colors were clearly handled.
Jiang Ranyang gave a thumbs up: “Ji Ningyi, this is you!”
He ran back with the plaster doll and said to Ran Ying, “Mom, let’s make another one!”
Ran Ying was surprised: “Why changed it?”
Just now she almost begged Jiang Ranyang to be more patient and careful, but Jiang Ranyang didn’t listen to her at all and went his own way, finishing the color in three strokes.
Ran Ying saw what he had done. Although the color was not very good, he could pass the exam. Ran Ying, who had been severely beaten by Jiang Ranyang’s school life, had no demands, so she just gave in.
But she didn’t expect that Jiang Ranyang’s attitude changed drastically when he went out to show off. He even muttered, “Ji Ningyi has done so well. I can’t be much worse than him.”
When Ran Ying heard this, she was both amused and emotional.
But then she realized that maybe Jiang Ranyang’s results, which seemed not good enough to them, were the results of his hard work. He didn’t want to catch up with others. He just wanted not to be too far behind.
***
After the task of coloring the plaster dolls was completed, the host said that this was their afternoon trophy, and the children could take it home.
The children present were all very happy, and Jiang Ranyang was the one who was crazy about it: “Mom, it’s not wrong for me to color it again!”
The more he looked at the new plaster doll, the more he liked it. He finally felt the reward after completing the task carefully, and his happiness doubled.
Ji Zhile said to Ji Ningyi: “Brother, put this big bear in our room so we can all see it.”
Ji Ningyi nodded and said yes.
The children all went home happily. Taking advantage of this hard-won private time, Si Tian could finally talk to the system.
“Xiao Ai!” She couldn’t hide her excitement in her tone.
“Xiao Ai, during the three years when I returned to my original world, the person who occupied my body was Xu Weiqing.”
The same words as last time, but with complete affirmation in the tone.
Xiao Ai lived up to expectations: [Yes. Congratulations to the host for finding out all the truth.]
