Finally, after looking around the room, it was Cheng Yangjiao who sent a few bags of potato chips and sweet milk. After eating, Ji Zhile successfully made Ji Zhile feel less bitter.

He seemed to be in a better mood and stopped crying, but he still spoke less than usual. He looked down at his fingers, and finally, asked Si Tian softly, “Mom, why did brother throw me away?”

After he finished speaking, he was reluctant to speak up.

Si Tian hugged Ji Zhile and rubbed his hair. It had been blow-dried just now, so it was fluffy and warm now.

She did not understand what happened and said hesitantly, “Maybe your brother didn’t do it on purpose.”

“It was on purpose, he didn’t want me anymore, he left very fast!” Ji Zhile said loudly, his eyes were a little red.

Si Tian asked: “Would you like to tell Mom what happened today?”

Her voice was very gentle, which stabilized Ji Zhile’s mood, and he hugged her arm.

“I played games with Brother and Panpan. It was time for Panpan to find us. Brother and I hid in the woods together, but Brother got angry and spoke loudly to me and then left. I called him but he didn’t wait for me, he walked so fast, I couldn’t catch up, Mom, it’s scary in the woods.”

Si Tian hugged Ji Zhile tightly. His small body curled into a ball and leaned against her arms, arching his head back and forth like a cat, looking for a stable angle.

“Don’t be afraid, you’re home now.”

Ji Zhile asked sullenly, “Will Mom throw me away in the future?”

Si Tian was startled and immediately said: “Of course not, Mom will never, ever, never abandon you!”

Ji Zhile blinked after hearing this, seemed a little shy again, buried his head in her elbow, and gave a muffled hum.

Seeing him calm down, Si Tian asked hesitantly, “Does Zhile know why Brother is angry?”

She was very worried that mentioning Ji Ningyi again would make Ji Zhile angry, but it was impossible not to deal with the matter between the two children. But this time Ji Ningyi was angry, she was a little frustrated: “I don’t know, he suddenly became angry.”

He was so sad now that he did not want to call him brother. But after a while, he asked Si Tian in a low voice: “Mom, does Brother not like me?”

Si Tian said: “No, Brother likes you. Brother went to find you with us and told us where you might be. If it wasn’t for Brother, we might not have found you so quickly.”

Ji Zhile blinked and did not quite understand it. He hugged Si Tian’s arm, feeling like a baby being held in his mother’s arms, which gave him a sense of security: “Then, why did brother abandon me?”

Si Tian said: “Then let’s go find Brother, maybe Brother is willing to tell us.”

Ji Zhile thought for a while and then nodded.

Si Tian took Ji Zhile and knocked on the door of Ji Ningyi’s room. Ji Zhile was still angry, standing arrogantly on the side, not moving. But his eyes looked to this side from time to time, showing his integrity vividly.

She knocked on the door for a long time but did not get a response, which is not in line with Ji Ningyi’s character.

Si Tian unscrewed the doorknob, but found that there was no one in the room.

She was a little panicked and searched around the villa. Ji Zhile also ran behind her and finally looked at the surveillance. Ji Ningyi opened the door alone and walked out quietly, at the end of the screen, his figure disappeared on the road outside the villa.

Ji Ningyi left home by himself.

Ji Zhile also watched the surveillance, he thought for a while, finally tugged at Si Tian’s sleeve, and said, “Mom, go find Brother, he’s also very scared when he is outside alone.”

He also stayed outside alone for a long time and he was really super scared.

Although he hated his brother very much, he decided to wait for his brother to come back before continuing to hate him.

Translator’s Comment:

Woo… I feel bad for Ji Ningyi!! ╥﹏╥ ╥﹏╥

I think that he was trapped by the label ‘well-behaved and sensible child’, so when he does something that does not match with the label, he will think he is a very, very bad child.

My heart is so hurt for Ningyi.

In the next few chapters, we will know Ningyi’s mind.
