Chapter 24:

Ning Yi coaxed you to sleep last night?

Si Tian has already walked into Ji Ningyi's room.

Ji Ningyi's room layout is different from Ji Zhile's. Ji Zhile has more odds and ends, toys and the like, while Ji Ningyi's is clean and tidy. Even the books on the desk are neatly arranged in order of height .

There are no dolls on the bed, and the quilt is neatly folded at the moment, so you can tell that she has not slept yet.

Ji Ning stood next to Si Tian, ​​looking a little shy, and finally raised his head to look at her: "Would Mom be afraid to sleep alone?"

Si Tian smiled: "Yes."

As soon as Ji Ning pushed open the closet, he took out a doll from the bottom drawer and handed it to her: "Let Xiaolu sleep with mom, and mom won't be afraid."

Si Tian looked down at the doll that Ji Ningyi was holding in his hand. The doll was wearing green clothes, and it was already a little old. It could be seen that it was made by herself, and the needlework on it was very crappy. Si Tian felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"Where did the doll come from?" Si Tian asked.

Ji Ning lowered his eyes, and the thick long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes: "It was given to me by my mother."

Although mom seems to have forgotten.

Si Tian was a little surprised, and took the doll: "Is it me?"

She has no memories of the past, but looking at this handmade doll, she feels that the level of life is about the same as hers. She usually sews clothes by herself, which is the same level.

Si Tian looked around carefully, and then returned the doll to Ji Ningyi: "Since it was given to you by your mother, you can keep it."

Ji Ning smoothed the doll's clothes with his hands: "But mother will be afraid to sleep alone."

Si Tian said, "Ning Yi can accompany me."

Ji Ning nodded, with a faint smile on his lips: "I will accompany my mother."

Si Tian saw Ji Ning put the green doll back into its original place. He moved lightly and looked very cherished. Judging from the degree of maintenance of the doll, he also knew that it was Ji Ningyi's cherished toy, although it was a little old. , but there is no damage to it.

Si Tian frowned. She actually didn't know much about the original owner and the two children, but judging from Ji Zhile's attitude and the retrospective of the time the system was used, the original owner was not good to the two children. Then why do you still give Ji Ningyi a handmade doll, and Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile have completely different attitudes towards her.

Si Tian asked tentatively, "Does Ning Yi like Mom very much?"

Ji Ning nodded with a serious tone: "I like it the most."

Si Tian felt a little melancholy: "Then what if mom is gone?"

Ji Ning looked a little panicked, and his tone became a little hasty: "Why isn't it here? Mom is by my side now."

Si Tian is still not ready to let the child know about things like traveling through time and space that involve unrealistic factors, and only comforts her by saying, "It's just a hypothesis."

Ji Ning frowned and then let go, and asked her cautiously: "Is mom sick?"

"I know that after Zhile was born, my mother was sick, but now my mother is cured." He said, "No matter what my mother becomes, I love my mother the most."

Si Tian's heart was sore and soft, and Ji Ningyi was very serious when he spoke, his voice was still a little immature, but his tone was firm, like a promise.

Although she didn't understand what the illness Ji Ningyi was talking about, after all, the child's eyes would beautify many things, she rubbed Ji Ningyi's hair: "I will like Ningyi too."

Ji Ningyi didn't seem to like being touched by people's hair, his body was a little awkward, but he was obedient and didn't move, his cheeks were slightly flushed: "I will sleep with my mother, mother, don't be afraid."

Si Tian hummed and put down her hand.

Ji Ning took the initiative to spread out the quilt, put his own pillow on the side, and then took out a cushion and put it where the original pillow was. He pointed to the pillow and said, "This is where my mother slept."

Si Tian was very embarrassed. She was here to coax the child to sleep, but in the end she became the child to coax herself. She immediately said, "I'm going to get my own pillow. Just wait here for me."

Ji Ning nodded obediently: "Good mother."

As soon as Si Tian went out, she asked the system in her mind: "Why did it develop like this?"

From coaxing the children to sleeping together, the span is a bit long, and Si Tian prefers to sleep alone.

Xiao Ai said: "Host, maybe this is due to maternal love."

Si Tian was about to collapse: "No, I'm just a young girl in her twenties."

But having said that, when Si Tian returned to her room, she immediately went to take a shower, then went out with her own pillow, and happened to meet Ji Jiangzhou.

The man was a little confused: "Where are you going?"

To show her innocence, Si Tian immediately said: "I'm not going to your room, I'm going to sleep with Ning Yi."

Ji Jiangzhou said: "Ning Yi is already six years old."

Si Tian raised a finger: "Only this once."

She has already promised Ji Ningyi, and she can't go back on it.

Ji Jiangzhou nodded, and when Si Tian walked past him, he smelled a light floral fragrance, like the smell of shower gel, followed his eyes for a moment, and was consciously pulled back by the master.

Although Si Tian has speeded up as much as possible, it will take 20 minutes after taking a bath and taking care of her skin, so when Si Tian came to the door of Ji Ningyi's room again, she was already ready for Ji Ningyi to fall asleep idea.

But the door was ajar, and she pushed it open with a light push.

As soon as Ji Ning sat on his bed, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and kept the same posture as when she left.

"I'm sorry, Ning Yi, mom is late."

Hearing the voice, Ji Ning raised his head, and the moment he saw her, his eyes seemed to be lit up.

"It's not too late," he said.

"Then let's sleep." Si Tian put the pillow outside, but Ji Ningyi moved it inside and said, "I'll sleep outside to protect my mother."

Si Tian couldn't help laughing, being protected by a child, although it sounded funny, Ji Ning couldn't stand it when he said it seriously.

"OK."

Si Tian is not used to sleeping with other people, her hands always feel itchy and want to touch the phone, but Ji Ning sleeps in a good position, lying on her back without moving.

Perhaps sensing the restlessness in her heart, Ji Ning asked, "Can't mom sleep?"

Si Tian is very honest: "A little bit."

Ji Ning got up on the bed with one hand and said, "Then let me tell my mother a story."

Si Tian:!

"No need." Let a child tell herself a bedtime story, and her newly grown conscience will really hurt.

However, Ji Ningyi had already got out of bed, took a book of fairy tales, put it on his lap, and sat on the bed and asked, "Does Mom listen to the story of Snow White?"

This scene strangely coincided with the scene in Ji Zhile's room just now. Seeing Ji Ning's very positive appearance, Si Tian didn't have the nerve to hit him, so she could only say: "Okay."

Ji Ningyi opened the Grimm's fairy tales and began to read. Ji Ningyi's Mandarin is quite standard, and he reads very emotionally, but his voice is a little immature. This reminds Si Tian of elementary school students reading texts emotionally in class. I stopped laughing.

Ji Ning's eyes brightened: "Does mom like to hear this story?"

Si Tian suppressed the smile in her throat: "Yes."

As soon as Ji Ning continued to read, the first-grade children logically said that their literacy would not be so great, but Ji Ningyi loved reading since he was a child, and his literacy increased unconsciously, and he even taught his younger brother Pinyin.

Even if Ji Ning didn't recognize a few words in it, he would just skip over it.

Ji Ningyi was still a little nervous when doing this kind of thing for the first time, so he glanced at his mother carefully from the corner of his eye, seeing that she didn't respond, he boldly continued to read, and then skipped a few unfamiliar words.

Ji Ning thought about it, he still needs to learn to recognize more characters, so that he won't have to miss words when telling stories to his mother in the future.

Si Tian never expected that her intention was to coax her son to sleep, but it turned out that her son was coaxing her to sleep.

The adult's sense of shame only hit in a flash, and Si Tian quickly convinced herself that only she and Ji Ningyi knew anyway, and it was obvious that Ji Ningyi was not a child with a broken mouth.

Si Tian originally thought that it would be difficult for her to fall asleep without a mobile phone, but inexplicably, drowsiness hit her, and she didn't know when she fell asleep in the end, and even had a dream.

After reading the two stories, Ji Ning found her mother was asleep.

He closed the storybook, looked at his mother carefully, and then pulled up the quilt and carefully tucked it in, just like his mother would do to him when he was a child.

Finally hesitating for a moment, his eyes swept around quietly, there was no one else, he clenched his fists, lowered his head, and gently kissed his mother's cheek.

"Good night, Mom."

My mother recovered from her illness, and she was like before my brother was born. Although my mother seems to have forgotten the past, it doesn't matter, he will remember.

As soon as Ji Ning lifted the quilt, he lay lightly beside Si Tian. He thought it was the best sleep he had ever had.

The next day, Ji Ning woke up first, he was going to school, he formed a biological clock, he got out of bed quietly, changed his clothes and washed, without waking up his mother.

At breakfast, only Dad and Zhile were there.

Dad asked him, "Mommy is still sleeping?"

Ji Ning hummed.

Ji Zhile immediately asked: "Why does brother know that mother is sleeping?"

Ji Ning glanced at his younger brother, and said, "Mom slept with me last night."

Ji Zhile immediately pouted and said in a low voice, "Brother, you are already in the first grade and you still need your mother to put you to sleep."

Ji Ningyi was a little embarrassed: "Only one night."

Ji Zhile poked at the food in the bowl: "I also want my mother to sleep with me."

As soon as Ji Ning didn't speak, he didn't know why Zhile always wanted to grab his mother from him now, obviously her mother put Zhile to sleep first.

"You're all boys, and sooner or later you'll learn to sleep by yourself," Dad said.

Ji Zhile said: "But there are also male students in kindergarten who sleep with their mothers, so I can do it too."

"Didn't you say that you are a man and already three and a half years old? Do you still need someone to accompany you?"

Ji Zhile puffed up his cheeks, and stretched out a finger: "I want one day too."

"Then dad will sleep with you."

Ji Zhile was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Can Dad snore?"

Ji Jiangzhou paused holding the cup: "No."

Ji Zhile asked again: "Can Dad tell bedtime stories?"

"You can tell me what you want to hear."

Ji Zhile was not very satisfied with this answer, because he didn't know what he wanted to hear, but the TV he watched with his mother last night was okay.

"Will Dad smell good?"

Ji Jiangzhou looked at his youngest son silently, but the other party didn't notice his gaze, and continued to chop the eggs in the bowl with a spoon.

Ji Jiangzhou: "No..."

Ji Zhile said: "Then I want my mother to sleep with me, she smells good."

After finishing speaking, Ji Zhile poured milk into a bowl, mixed it with chopped eggs, and created a food by himself, which he called "double unpalatable"

Although it is more unpalatable, it can be eaten quickly. Ji Zhile weighed it and thought that the shorter time would be better.

He stirred it well, and finally held the bowl in both hands, closed his eyes, gulped down a few sips, and quickly drank a few more sips of water to dispel the smell of milk in his mouth.

He frowned and asked his father, "Dad, can you make the milk disappear?"

Ji Jiangzhou: "...I can't."

Why does his son always have so many wonderful ideas.

Ji Zhile felt very sorry, if his father could not make the milk disappear even though he could earn so much money, then he might have to drink unpalatable milk for the rest of his life.

When going out to school, Ji Zhile didn't see the garbage bag by the door, and immediately asked, "Dad, where's my bottle?"

He was still angry yesterday, and he deliberately didn't take a look when he walked by, but it will be fine in a day, and he still can't let go of the bottle that he spent a lot of effort to pick up.

"In the utility room."

Ji Zhile nodded: "I'm going to sell the bottle with Xiao Yuan on the weekend."

If you pick it up, you can't waste it, just like if you don't finish eating food, you can't waste it.

Ji Jiangzhou said: "Yes, but you don't need to pick up bottles anymore."

Ji Zhile immediately said, "Of course I won't!"

When they arrived at the kindergarten, Ji Zhile discussed with Xiao Yuan to sell bottles on weekends, and then he asked Xiao Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, what bedtime story will your mother tell you?"

Obviously, his mother didn't know, so Ji Zhile decided to ask someone else.

Xiao Yuan said: "My mother showed me cartoons and then sang."

Ji Zhile made a note and decided to let his mother sing to coax him tonight.

After Ji Zhile got out of the car, only Ji Ningyi and Ji Jiangzhou were left in the car. The father and son talked less, Ji Jiangzhou suddenly asked: "Ning Yi, do you need your mother to sleep?"

Ji Ning blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, he was six and a half years old, and all the classmates in the class slept alone: ​​"I don't need it tonight."

"Ning Yi, I didn't criticize you, if you don't want to sleep alone, you can sleep with Dad."

Ji Ning said, "No need, Dad."

He rarely showed a childish and proud expression: "I was the one who slept with my mother last night."

He emphasized this accompaniment, saying that he has grown up and is very sensible: "I even read fairy tales to my mother."

In the villa, Si Tian woke up at eight in the morning, and her thoughts returned a second later. She glanced at the room and realized that she was lying on Ji Ningyi's bed.

Children who love cleanliness are fragrant on the bed.

I had a good night's sleep last night, Si Tian recalled the dream last night, and still felt a little strange, because Si Tian saw herself making a doll in the dream, and that doll was the green doll in the closet with Ji Ning exactly the same.

But Si Tian didn't think much about it, probably because she thought about it every day and dreamed about it at night.

After washing up, she went downstairs to have breakfast. Since Ji Jiangzhou came back, she can get up later. The common feature of the three of them is that they are very energetic, not at all like Si Tian, ​​who can't get up in the morning.

When Si Tian was eating breakfast and playing with her mobile phone, the door of the villa opened. She raised her eyes and found that it was Ji Jiangzhou. Si Tian, ​​who had received a high salary from the other party, was very alert, and immediately greeted him warmly: "Would you like to eat some more?" Huh? The porridge this morning is delicious."

It used to be that Ji Jiangzhou would say no, and then go upstairs, ready to go to work, but today Ji Jiangzhou said "yes" very strangely, and sat opposite her.

Si Tian carefully glanced at him a few times, and it was such a coincidence that she met the other party's line of sight.

Si Tian immediately put the phone down and stopped playing. Then I heard Ji Jiangzhou's voice: "Did you sleep well with Ning Yi last night?"

Si Tianxin thought, isn't it nonsense, if she can't sleep well, can she just get up at this time? But he still replied with a smile: "Okay, Ning Yi sleeps very well, doesn't snore and doesn't like to move around."

In order to prove that she really fulfilled her duties as a mother, Si Tian also made up a fact: "I even told Ning Yi a story and sang a lullaby last night to put him to sleep."

She really didn't get the seven-figure living expenses every month for nothing!

Ji Jiangzhou stared at her with a half-smile, and said slowly: "Really, how did I hear that Ning Yi coaxed you to sleep last night?"
