Published at 9th of October 2023 11:27:30 AM

As soon as Cheng Yangjiao finished speaking, there was a slight sound from the door. Ji Jiangzhou looked up and saw Ningyi’s small figure running away in a panic between the cracks in the door. He stood up and said, “I’ll go and see Ningyi.”

When he opened the door, he saw Ji Ningyi run into his room and close the door.

When Ji Jiangzhou approached, he knocked on the door and his voice was gentle: “Ningyi, it’s Dad. Dad wants to chat with you, is it okay?”

After he finished speaking, he waited for a minute or two before the door opened.

Ji Ningyi stood at the door and looked at him timidly: “Dad.”

At this moment, Ji Jiangzhou could not tell what was going on in his heart. He opened the door and walked into the room. Ji Ningyi stood at the door and hesitated, just looked at him quietly, but did not dare to be next to him.

Ji Jiangzhou asked him to come over and sit on the sofa together.

Ji Jiangzhou tried to speak: “Listen to Mom, today it is Ningyi and Mom who found Zhile, right?”

Ji Ningyi’s expression was lost and he lowered his head: “It was me who came back without waiting for Zhile to be alone, leaving Zhile alone in the woods.”

Ji Jiangzhou said calmly, “I know Ningyi didn’t do it on purpose, right?”

Ji Ningyi nodded.

Ji Jiangzhou paused and then continued: “Ningyi, each of us has a tiger in our hearts. Sometimes it will protect us, but sometimes it will trick us into doing some bad things. When we look back at that time, we will regret it and we don’t know why we did it at that time.”

Ji Ningyi turned his head slightly to look at his father. He felt that what his father said was right and understood him very well. He also seemed to have a tiger in his heart, so was he bewitched by the tiger to do this bad thing?

“So, Ningyi’s incident is not your fault, so don’t blame yourself too much.”

Ji Ningyi was silent for a while and then asked softly, “Dad, what if the tiger still does bad things in the future?”

Ji Jiangzhou said: “As long as we can shut down the tiger in our hearts, it will not do bad things.”

Ji Ningyi said: “I don’t seem to be able to do it.”

If he could do it, he would not have left Zhile in the woods at that time.

Ji Jiangzhou said: “So, we need a doctor to help us. Grandma just now said that Ningyi should go see a psychiatrist.”

Ji Ningyi nodded and was silent for a while. Then, he asked: “Dad, is it because I went to see a doctor that our family is going to be separated?”

“No.” Ji Jiangzhou put his arms around his elder son’s shoulders and comforted him, “We will not separate, even if we want to see a psychiatrist, we will respect Ningyi’s opinion.”

“I am willing.” Ji Ning asked in a low voice, “Dad, will I really hurt Zhile?”

Ji Jiangzhou asked him instead: “Does Ningyi want to protect Zhile?”

Ji Ningyi nodded, looking a little frustrated: “Dad, I have been working hard to be a good brother and protect Zhile, but I didn’t do it well…”

“You have already done a good job, Ningyi. It turns out that when Dad was not at home, it was you who had been taking care of Zhile.” Ji Jiangzhou said, “This is what Mom and Dad should do. But, we left it to you, let Ningyi bear a lot of responsibility, and also suffered a lot of grievances.”

Ji Ningyi shook his head: “I’m not aggrieved.”

Ji Jiangzhou touched his eldest son’s head and said: “I’m sorry, Ningyi. In the future, Dad will take care of you and Zhile. You are Zhile’s elder brother, but also Dad’s child. Like Zhile, they are all children, children have the right to be willful and naughty, and Dad and Mom will never not want you.”

Having received the promise again, something in Ji Ningyi’s heart seemed to be gradually filled.

He looked up at his father, who hugged him: “Ningyi, Dad only hopes that you can grow up healthy and happy.”

What Ji Jiangzhou did was the same as that of most parents, hoping to give his children a sufficient living condition, no matter what Ningyi wanted to do in the future.

But, he seemed to have overlooked a lot of things. Because Ningyi is an older brother, who is more obedient and sensible, so he naturally ignores his needs.

He felt that what Si Tian said just now was right, they were failed parents, and Ningyi was an excellent child.

Ji Ningyi leaned on his father’s chest and he gave a soft ‘hmm’.

He likes his mother because his mother has always grown up with him and given him a life and a lot of love. His mother’s commitment is very important. But, he also likes his father. Although his father does not spend much time with them, he knows that his father also loves him. His father works hard so that they can buy a lot of things and go to school.

They form a family and no one can do without one of them.
