His words were really pleasant, and his smile was gentle, which made people look confused, like Daji1Daji (妲己; pinyin: Dájǐ) was the favorite consort of King Zhou of Shang, the last king of the Shang dynasty in ancient China. In legends and fiction, she is portrayed as a malevolent fox spirit who kills and impersonates the real Daji.‘s second skill.
Si Tian said, “Okay.”
Ji Jiangzhou said: “Good night. I will wait for you at home tomorrow night.”
Si Tian was stunned at the door for a few seconds, and then her cheeks felt warm. She closed the door in a panic. Her heartbeat lost its usual frequency.
It was just a simple sentence, but it seemed to have a powerful magic power.
Wait for you to go back home.
Si Tian had only been away for two weeks, but her mood felt like a lifetime ago.

Today is the filming of the last episode of “Traveling with Mom”. Each child put on their favorite clothes, and there was no sadness about parting. Instead, they were filled with the joy of comparing clothes. Every child felt that their own clothes looked the best.
The program team gave them activity funds and asked them to buy vegetables and prepare barbecue ingredients.
The content of the last episode was about everyone grilling and eating barbecue together. Although it overlapped with the content of one of the episodes, the relationship between people had changed a lot, highlighting the contrasting effect and allowing the audience to see their actual progress.
In the morning, everyone went shopping to buy vegetables and skewers together. The difference from last time was that this time everyone didn’t just buy what they needed at home, but they gathered what everyone needed and went to buy it. The quantity they wanted was larger, so they could bargain more.
Time passed quickly, and during the lunch break, a little guest came to Si Tian’s house.
Xia Jiaran knocked on the door, holding two boxes in his hand. It was his first time coming to Si Tian’s house, so he was still a little shy.
Si Tian greeted him when she saw him: “Ranran, are you here to play with Ningyi and Zhile?”
Xia Jiaran nodded: “Hello, Auntie, my mother asked me to come. She prepared gifts for Ningyi and Zhile.”
Si Tian glanced at the boxes in Xia Jiaran’s hand and was a little curious.
Although she knew that Xu Weiqing herself was back, she had no dislike or joy for her. They were just ordinary strangers. She didn’t know why Xu Weiqing took the initiative to show her kindness.
But she still called the two children down.
It was always easier for children to talk to each other. Seeing Ji Ningyi and the others, Xia Jiaran felt much less restrained.
He talked to Ji Ningyi and then gave each of them a box: “This is a gift that my mother and I chose together. I hope you like it.”
Ji Zhile is a child who likes to receive gifts. He glanced at Si Tian and saw Si Tian nodded before accepting the gift.
He smiled at Xia Jiaran and said, “Thank you, Xia Jiaran.”
He also wanted to give Xia Jiaran a gift. But what should he give?
Ji Zhile searched frantically in his mind for what he had brought. Then, he suddenly ran upstairs and down again. He gave Xia Jiaran two lollipops and smiled so hard that his eyes curled up: “My brother and I gave this to you!”
He was very sensible and brought his brother’s too.
Xia Jiaran was equally happy: “Thank you.”
“I’m going home. My mother is waiting for me outside.”
He ran to Si Tian and handed her an envelope with both hands: “Auntie, my mother and I gave this to you. I hope you like it.”
The child’s face was slightly red and a little shy, but he looked at her with a pair of bright eyes.
Si Tian thought that it might be a letter, so she accepted it: “Thank you, Ranran.”
Xia Jiaran smiled, revealing some of his white teeth: “You’re welcome.”
Then, he left.
Si Tian stood at the door and saw Xu Weiqing waiting outside. When Xia Jiaran came closer, she took Xia Jiaran’s hand and bent slightly to talk to him.
The sunlight that passed through the tree sparsely shone on them. They gradually walked away, like a beautiful and harmonious painting.
Maybe Xu Weiqing really likes Xia Jiaran. Si Tian thought that children also had their own judgments. If he didn’t like her, Xia Jiaran wouldn’t defend Xu Weiqing like this.
“Mom, do you think this is a lock?”
Ji Zhile had already opened his gift, took out the things, and looked at the thing in his hands.
Si Tian turned her head to look, and her eyes widened suddenly.
Wait, what is this?
A golden lock?!
When Si Tian took it in her hand, she turned it over and over before confirming that it was really a gold lock, and it was very solid in weight. Based on the current price of gold, it was roughly estimated to be at least six figures.
This… This was too expensive.
Ji Ningyi also opened his own present: “Mom, mine is also a golden lock.”
The two children had slightly different gifts, with different names engraved on them.
Si Tian hurriedly said: “Put it on. Maybe it was given by mistake.”
But she knew that since the name was engraved, it was impossible to send it to the wrong person. It was just that her relationship with Xu Weiqing was not as good as this.
Si Tian took out the envelope Xia Jiaran gave her.
