Chapter 35.1
Ji Ningyi’s hands on his knees tightened slightly, then he shook his head: “No, Mom.”
For Ji Ningyi’s answer, Si Tian had already expected it. The last time she asked him if he did not like Ultraman, he also said no, but his behavior would not lie.
Si Tian said, “Actually, there are things I don’t like to eat.”
As if he did not expect her to mention herself suddenly, Ji Ningyi looked at her curiously: “What doesn’t Mom like to eat?”
Si Tian said: “There are many things that I don’t like to eat. I don’t like to eat lotus root, I don’t like to eat mango, I don’t like to eat konjac.”
Ji Ningyi said, “I remember.”
He said: “When I grow up and cook for Mom, I won’t do these things.”
Si Tian could not hold back a smile: “That’s not what I told you.”
Why would Ningyi suddenly think of the future? It will be a long time before he grows up.
“Ningyi, everyone has something they don’t like. It’s normal. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. You see, Zhile doesn’t like carrots, now we rarely cook carrots. But carrots are good for the eyes, so once in a while, we still have to eat them.”
Ji Ningyi said: “Mom, I don’t hate carrots.”
“You hate spinach, right?” Si Tian asked.
Ji Ningyi frowned, remembering what Zhile said to him this morning ‘I told Mom’.
Is it to tell Mom that he is also a picky eater and hates spinach?
Facing his mother’s gaze, Ji Ningyi only let out a soft “hmm” as soon as he knew he could not avoid it.
He added in a low voice: “Only a little bit of dislike.” So, he can eat it even if he doesn’t like it, not so picky eaters.
Si Tian really wanted to ask him, since he did not like it, why did he eat a lot last night? But, she looked at Ji Ningyi’s uneasy appearance when he lowered his head, so she could not bear to force him.
“A little bit of dislike is also dislike.” Si Tian discussed with him, “Then, our family won’t eat spinach from now on, okay?”
If this was Ji Zhile, he would probably applaud and say yes loudly, ‘Thank you, Mom’.
But Ji Ningyi said: “The teacher said that spinach is very rich in nutrients and it is very good for children’s bodies to eat. I can eat less, just like Zhile eats carrots.”
He spoke slowly and seriously, not showing the slightest reluctance.
Si Tian said: “It’s alright, but if there is anything Ningyi doesn’t like in the future, can you tell Mom?”
Ji Ningyi nodded a little: “I will.”
He has a very good personality, as if he would agree no matter what Si Tian said. But, Si Tian felt a little uncomfortable and gently held Ji Ningyi’s hand: “Ningyi, don’t be afraid.”
Ji Ningyi smiled at her: “Mom, I’m not afraid. I’m an older brother.”
“The older brother also has the right to be afraid. He is also a child.”
Ji Ningyi slightly pursed his lips into a smile.
Due to a little delay on the road, it was already 7:50 when Ji Ningyi arrived at school.
He waved to Si Tian and walked into the school. When he arrived at class, he was still five minutes away from self-study.
Ji Ningyi put down his schoolbag, took out the Chinese textbook, and put it on the table.
“Ningyi, why did you come so late today?” Pei Jing asked him.
Pei Jing is often late, but today he came earlier than Ji Ningyi.
Ji Ningyi said: “My mother sent me to school. We chatted on the way, so it was a little late.”
Pei Jingjing nodded. As if he had some secret and could not help it, he leaned over and whispered, “Today, my mother also sent me, I will not be late in the future.”
Since they met at KFC, the friendship between the two children has been established and they are also at the same table. Ji Ningyi is Pei Jing’s only friend in class, so whenever something happens, Pei Jing will only tell Ji Ningyi and still keep a distance from other students and he doesn’t like to talk to them.
Hearing what Pei Jing said, Ji Ningyi was very happy: “That’s all right.”
Pei Jing was punished by the teacher for standing many times because he was late.
Pei Jing said: “Well, my school uniform has also arrived. I washed the school uniform I borrowed from you yesterday. I can return it to you tomorrow when it is dry.”
“Ningyi, my mother and I have moved.” Pei Jing showed a rare shy expression.
