Ji Shiyuan felt that she must be crazy. Being pestered by him like that and listening to him say all those... lingering words that she wanted to hear most, her first reaction was not to be moved, but to be moved. Want to escape.
She wasn't disgusted, she was scared.
Afraid of falling in again.
So when the child called her "Mom", she was still sitting on the sofa and distracted.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" The child put her hand on her forehead and tested the temperature: "It's not hot."
"baby."
Ji Shiyuan calmed down and leaned on the sofa with her child in her arms.
"Miss Ji, Yingying has called you several times, but you haven't answered her." The aunt was cleaning the table next to her and explained to her: "Is Miss Ji too tired from work?
How about I go put some hot water for you to take a bath. "
"Well, okay, thank you, auntie."
"It's okay, it's okay. Although I know that life is not easy for you young people, you should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest." Auntie collected the rag and said, "And beautiful people like Miss Ji should pay more attention to maintenance and rest.
Can support more people. "
"Grandma, do you think my mother is beautiful too?" Ji Wenying, a child, pressed her face against Ji Shiyuan's face, her tone filled with pride.
"Of course, your mother is a great beauty. The kind you rarely see in many years," the aunt said.
Ji Shiyuan was amused by them; "Thank you for your compliments. Well, I, a beautiful woman, can't hold me back. I have to find a change of clothes."
"Yeah! I'll help mom."
"Okay, let's go."
"Go quickly, I'm going to put out the water."
I took a bath with my daughter, so the bathtub contained not only milk, rose petals, but also some small toys. There seems to be some visual conflict, but Ji Shiyuan and Ji Wenying in the bathtub are very good.
Had a great time.
"Mom, was it Uncle Zuo who sent you back today?" Suddenly, Ji Wenying's child asked, making Ji Shiyuan stunned.
After a few seconds, she didn't answer and asked instead: "Why did you mention him suddenly? Has he come to see you?"
"No." Ji Wenying shook her head with a charm just like that of Zuo Jinye, and Ji Shiyuan was entranced for a moment.
"oh."
"But Uncle Zuo called me."
"Call?" Ji Shiyuan's heart started to drop again: "Then, can you tell mom what you said?"
"Mom, this is a little secret."
Ji Shiyuan was amused by her.
She poured water on the child's shoulders and began to give her a final rinse: "Okay, then you should protect your and his little secret.
Mom stopped asking. but......"
"However, although the baby thinks Uncle Zuo is a very nice person and will protect his little secrets, he cannot do anything to make his mother worry. The baby must ensure that he is safe as soon as possible. If anything happens, he will not do anything. Call the mother immediately to inform her. If she is not around or the phone cannot be reached, call the police as soon as possible."
Ji Wenying's children's words are fluent, logical and coherent.
It's like memorizing lines.
Ji Shiyuan was made to laugh and cry by her. He raised his hand to give her a high-five. The little guy cooperated: "Smart!"
Ji Shiyuan praised her.
"Of course, grandma said I am the daughter of a beautiful and smart mother with good genes. And..."
"And what?"
"And Uncle Zuo also told me this once."
Ji Shiyuan was startled.
He approached the children quietly and taught them to be safe and not to approach strangers.
"Uncle Zuo said that he is my friend and an acquaintance of my mother, so he is not a stranger." Ji Wenying seemed to sense her state of mind and said. When Ji Shiyuan heard the sound, he smiled obliquely and raised his hand to touch her face; "Yes, good baby.
Come, mom, dry yourself off and go to bed. "
"Yeah, okay. Hug, mom."
That night, Ji Shiyuan did not deal with official duties anymore, and did not rush back to the room to rest after putting the children to sleep. Instead, he lay paralyzed on the sofa in silence.
At a certain moment, for some unknown reason, she suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked to the window. She put her hands together, stood on tiptoes, stretched her muscles, and looked into the distance. As her eyes moved from far to near, her eyes caught Zuo Jinye, who was standing next to the car downstairs.
And he seemed to be looking up at her, who was standing by the window and stretching her muscles.
