After settling down here, Si Tian contacted Pei Jing’s grandmother again and finalized the time. It will be tomorrow. The two cities were not far from each other and the journey time lasted for three hours by car.
When Si Tian told the news to the two children, they were very happy. Afterward, Ji Ningyi panicked a little: “I haven’t prepared a gift for Pei Jing yet.”
“Neither do I.” Ji Zhile said, “Mom, let’s buy it at the supermarket now.”
It was seven o’clock in the evening now, and Ji Zhile looked eager to go. He rarely went out to play at night, so he was very excited.
Si Tian agreed. After all, the time was really too urgent when they confirmed the time, so they had no choice.
The summer vacation was about to end in half a month. Si Tian and Ji Jiangzhou’s trip also had not yet begun. Si Tian felt that she was very busy.
When they went out at night, Ji Zhile leaned against the car window and looked out. His cheek was pressed against the car window, squeezing at it, and his eyes were still rolling, looking at everything outside.
After arriving at the supermarket, Ji Zhile took a lot of snacks. He said plausibly: “It’s not for me. It’s for Brother Pei Jing.”
It was just that the snacks thrown into the shopping cart were all his favorites.
Ji Ningyi’s choice was different. He was more practical. He bought stationery and books and specially selected styles and patterns.
Si Tian bought two sets of clothes, one for Pei Jing and one for Pei Jing’s grandmother. She used to live an extremely ordinary life, so she knew what was most lacking for a family like Pei Jing.
Pei Jing would definitely not accept the money. After all, she already funded him, so she would just add more in other material things.
After returning home with a full load, the two children were extremely happy. Their little faces were full of expectation.
While telling bedtime stories at night, Ji Zhile fell asleep.
Ji Ningyi asked her: “Mom, will our visit to Pei Jing’s house cause trouble for Pei Jing?”
Ji Ningyi didn’t ask Pei Jing about this because when he was on the phone call with Pei Jing, he heard that Pei Jing’s voice was a little panting and the background sound was a bit messy.
Pei Jing said: “Grandma and I are cleaning the house. You will come here tomorrow. Grandma said that the house should be cleaned to welcome guests.”
Ji Ningyi didn’t talk too much to Pei Jing on the phone, thinking that he would be able to meet him tomorrow, so he could say a lot of things in person. But after hanging up the phone, Ji Ningyi thought about this aspect.
When Pei Jing and Pei Jing’s grandmother came to their house, they didn’t clean the house. Ji Ningyi had never had this kind of experience, but the school had gone through general cleaning, and it was very tiring.
Si Tian listened to Ji Ningyi’s words with gentle eyes, held Ji Ningyi’s little hand, and whispered: “Mom thinks this is not the case. Mom thinks Pei Jing cleans the house to let us see a clean and tidy environment. It means that he welcomes us. Just like when Pei Jing lived in our house, Ningyi shared his books and snacks. Wouldn’t Ningyi willingly do it?”
“I will.” Ji Ningyi said.
“That’s right.” Si Tian said, “Pei Jing is also willing. I think if we go to Pei Jing’s house tomorrow, Ningyi could express his happiness about their house, and it will be the best answer to Pei Jing’s actions.”
Ji Ningyi is a child who knows everything, but he is gentle and sensitive, especially when facing people he cares about and likes, it will be more obvious.
He said, “I understand, Mom.”
His eyes were bright, and his eyelashes flicked: “Good night, Mom.”
“Good night, Ningyi.”
The lights were turned off, and in the darkness, Ji Ningyi closed his eyes. He felt that he would have a dream about Pei Jing tonight. Although he was not asleep yet, Ji Ningyi had a sense of hope.
***
Early the next morning, the family got into a car for a long journey. Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile both carried things in their hands, put the gifts in the trunk, and then climbed into the back seat.
Along the way, Ji Zhile was chattering and in good spirits. When he saw something on the roadside, he tilted his head and said to Ji Ningyi.
