DAVM Chapter 73.5

He looked at Ji Ningyi triumphantly. Unexpectedly, his brother did not know as much as he did. Ji Zhile straightened his chest.

Ji Ningyi: “That’s not what it means.”

“Yes!” Ji Zhile said affirmatively, “That’s what Mom told me last night.”

Ji Zhile imitated what Si Tian said last night, successfully bringing back Ji Ningyi’s memories. Ji Ningyi looked at Ji Zhile’s complacent look and kindly reminded him: “Mom didn’t mean what the word meant. She just meant that your question isn’t important.”

“Mom didn’t say it’s none of your business, she said ‘it’s not important’.”

Ji Ningyi spoke clearly. Ji Zhile blinked and thought about it. He probably could not completely restore the things he remembered. He only had a vague impression in his mind. Thinking back now, after he asked his mother last night what ‘solved’ meant, she seemed to have said that it was not important.

Ji Zhile clenched his small fists. His face was a little hot. He avoided Ji Ningyi’s gaze and then yelled: “What I said is that it doesn’t matter. It’s all the same.”

Ji Ningyi: “Well…”

Ji Zhile said loudly: “I hate it. Go out and don’t look at me!”

Ji Ningyi glanced at Ji Zhile strangely, feeling that his shouting looked very much like he was angry. An idea suddenly came to Ji Ningyi’s mind: he did not know who the fool was.

But Ji Ningyi quickly put this idea out of his mind. He can’t say that to his younger brother, Zhile is not an idiot.

However, Ji Ningyi was afraid that his younger brother would really become a fool who used idioms randomly, so he checked the idiom dictionary, copied the meaning of the word on a sticky note, and secretly posted it on the small desk in Ji Zhile’s room.

Usually, when Ji Zhile wants to read and paint by himself, he will use this small desk. Ji Ningyi thinks that Ji Zhile will definitely be able to read what he left behind.

Of course, Ji Zhile saw it. After realizing that he had made a mistake, he crumpled the post-it note into a ball and threw it into the trash can in shame and anger. His face began to burn.

I hate it so much, Brother hates it, and Mom hates it too.

Ji Zhile wrote it down in his notebook.

This directly caused Ji Zhile to be very angry when he went downstairs to eat breakfast. He decided not to talk to his mother when he saw her later.

But Ji Zhile did not see Si Tian in the living room. He searched around the kitchen and other places but could not find it. In the end, he could only ask the aunt who made breakfast: “Auntie, where is my mother?”

The aunt smiled kindly and said, “Zhile’s mother probably hasn’t woken up yet.”

Ji Zhile said: “I’m already up! Mom must have gone out to play.”

The aunt said: “Probably not. I haven’t seen Zhile’s mother down here for so long, and she usually doesn’t come down to eat until nine o’clock. You should eat first, Zhile.”

The aunt thought that Ji Zhile was waiting for his mother to eat together, and she sighed that he was such a good boy.

But Ji Zhile only wanted to find Si Tian ​​and then got angry in front of her. When his mother asked him, he could barely answer because she did not explain the meaning of that word clearly to him last night.

In this way, his mother might even hug him and coax him. Ji Zhile imagined everything that should happen in his mind.

But now it was completely beyond his expectations.

“Did my mother really wake up at nine o’clock?” Ji Zhile asked.

The aunt nodded: “Because Zhile’s mother has nothing else to do at home, so she can get up later.”

Ji Zhile was dazzled by the news and murmured: “How could this be possible…”

He goes to school from Monday to Friday. How can his mother sleep in at home when he wakes up so early?

“I want to be a mother too.” Ji Zhile said, “Can I be my mother’s mother?” He looked at Ji Ningyi.

Ji Ningyi’s eyes widened: “This is not possible!”

Why does his brother have such an idea? If Mom finds out, Ji Zhile will definitely be scolded, and he will cry again then.

“Why not?”

Ji Ningyi: “Because you are a boy, you cannot be a mother!”

“And you are mother’s son. You can only be a son and not a mother!” Ji Ningyi’s tone became a lot more serious, trying to get this inexplicable idea out of Ji Zhile’s mind.

Ji Zhile thought about it too, finally curled his lips, and reluctantly said: “Then, I’ll be a father.”

He added: “It’s okay when I grow up.”

But Ji Zhile thought about it again. Dad sent them to school every day and got up earlier than him. Dad did not come back until his mother picked them up in the afternoon. It turned out that many times he had to earn money outside and could not go home.

Ji Zhile immediately regretted it: “I don’t want to be a father anymore.”

“Brother, what else can I be?”

 

*****

The author has something to say:

Ningyi’s psychological change process regarding his brother saying he hates you:

In the beginning: He hates me [sad]

Now: It doesn’t matter, I’ve been hated many times anyway.

 

Translator’s Comment:

Who wants to open Zhile’s head and take a look at what’s inside? *raiseyourhandup*

Why does he always have a wonderful idea? Hahahaha…
