Chapter 36:

I'm going to cry again, am I going to file a complaint?

Si Tian noticed Ji Ningyi's quietness, and asked, "Did Ning Yi have any happy things happen at school today?"

Ji Ning thought for a while and said, "We are teaching the school song today."

"Brother, we also have a kindergarten song!" It can be seen that Ji Zhile was very happy to get the snack gift box he deserved today, and he kept talking, and even hummed a few lines to himself.

Strange, I can finish singing in kindergarten, but now I forget some lyrics.

Ji Zhile was a little embarrassed, blinked and asked the two people in the car: "Does it sound good?"

Si Tian said, "It sounds good."

Ji Ningyi said: "Zhile, this is your garden song, why can't you remember the lyrics?"

Ji Zhile said: "I remember singing with everyone in kindergarten."

He found a reason for himself: "I know, it's because there is no music."

Si Tian is embarrassed to expose Ji Zhile's love, this is a very typical pretense.

"Would Ning Yi sing the school song for us?"

Ji Ning nodded, without the shyness of singing in front of Si Tian for the first time.

His voice is very nice, clean and clear, with a little immatureness of a child. Even if Si Tian has never heard their school song, she knows that Ji Ningyi must be singing on the tune.

No wonder Black Moonlight, who grew up to be the heroine, is covered in buffs, wears a white shirt, has good grades, treats people gently, and sings well...

After a song was sung, both Si Tian and Ji Zhile applauded.

Si Tian said, "It's really nice."

Ji Zhile said: "My brother sings really well, and so do I, so my brother is my brother."

He sometimes got a little convoluted when he spoke, but Si Tian got his meaning accurately, because the same blood flows in his bones, he is a brother, so the elder brother sings well, and the younger brother must sing the same way.

Seeing Ji Zhile's confident appearance, Si Tianxin thought that this beautiful misunderstanding might not be solved until Ji Zhile grew up and could distinguish between good and bad sounds.

The compliments of the two made Ji Ningyi's cheeks blush slightly, and finally the sun peeked through the clouds in the cloudy mood.

"Ning Yi, your teacher praised you again in the class today." Si Tian took out her phone and started to read, "All the following students are correct in this little exercise."

"Ji Ningyi's handwriting is neat, and the quality of the work is very high. I hope that all parents will urge their children to pay attention to their handwriting when completing their homework. Handwriting is a stepping stone. Please pay attention to it."

Si Tian became a mother for the first time, so she didn't know that the school was so busy now, so there was no class notice when she was studying.

Now the teacher will post the homework of the day in the class group every day, and send homework feedback to the group the next day. From time to time, he will take out well-done templates and take photos and upload them. There are various activities in the school, but they are completed well. Nine out of ten good people have Ji Ningyi's name.

The first time I saw Ji Ningyi's homework, Si Tian was quite shocked. Ji Ningyi's handwriting was neat and clean, which looked pleasing to the eye. At that time, Si Tian would secretly poke and save the pictures, but the teacher sent them more often Si Tian gradually got used to it.

My kids are so good.

"Ning Yi is awesome!"

Hearing her mother's voice read out the teacher's praise, facing her mother's admiring gaze, Ji Ning's cheeks turned even redder, and he squeezed the Otto egg in his hand a little helplessly: "Thank you, mother."

But thinking of a small mistake in the dictation book today, he was a little flustered, and now the dictation book was still in his schoolbag, and he didn't do anything, as if to let this mistake exist all the time.

In fact, he could write the correct word next to it when the teacher didn't find it, and correct it, so that the teacher would never find out, and neither would anyone else, and he could always cover it up, only he and Pei Jing knew.

You can also take the initiative to tell the teacher that it is just a small mistake, every student will make mistakes, but he dare not.

Now I am even more afraid, what if my mother knows that he is not a very good child?

"Mom, did my teacher praise me in class?" Ji Zhile tugged on Si Tian's sleeve and asked expectantly.

Si Tian immediately said, "Yes."

"Children Ji Zhile exchanged the only snack gift box this time. He usually performed well in the kindergarten. He unites his classmates and loves the group. It is worthy of praise."

Well, Si Tian invented it. Kindergarten teachers are different from elementary school teachers. Kindergarten classes are full of photos of children, those who dance, eat, and sleep...

The teacher promises to take pictures of every child entering the country, to ensure that no parent will ask, teacher, why didn't my child take pictures?

There is less personal praise, and more class routines.

But Ji Zhile, who didn't know the truth, was very happy. Although he still didn't understand what it means to love the collective, he knew it was a compliment, so he nodded immediately: "Yes, mom, it's me."

Si Tian said, "Both are great."

"Friday is a holiday, plus the weekend, there will be three days. We are going to grandma's house." Si Tian announced this again in the car.

Large-scale activities will be held in the city on Friday. In order to relieve traffic pressure, kindergartens and elementary schools in the city will be given a day off.

Si Tian's mother-in-law told her about this, and the next sentence is, come and play after three days, and make delicious food for you.

Si Tian felt that her mother-in-law's news was really well-informed. She only saw the notice sent by the head teacher in the class group after her mother-in-law told her.

Going to see her mother-in-law, Si Tian is still a little nervous. Although she has been married for many years and has two children, Si Tian has no memory of the original owner! I'm not familiar with my mother-in-law at all, the only two conversations are this time and the last time, although judging from the brief chat last time, my mother-in-law should be very special, but Si Tian is really not familiar with her.

When Ji Zhile heard that Si Tian said that he was going to grandma's house, he immediately cheered: "Good! I hope Friday will come soon."

He counted with his fingers: "Today is Tuesday, and there are two days left."

Si Tian noticed the clue from the cub's attitude, and immediately asked, "Is Zhile happy?"

Ji Zhile nodded: "I like to go to grandma's house, grandma's house has a very majestic dog!"

Hearing the word majestic, Si Tian suddenly thought of the Tibetan mastiff, which is the most majestic dog.

But, no way...

"It's black, it has a lot of fur, and it makes a loud noise."

The Tibetan mastiff is black, with a lot of hair, and the voice is not small...

Ji Zhile said: "Mom, let's raise a dog like grandma's."

Si Tian: "No!"

Her attitude was very firm, seeing if it would work on her side, Ji Zhile looked at Ning Yi: "Brother, do you want a dog?"

Ji Ningyi: "I don't want to."

Ji Zhile was hit and depressed.

Si Tian asked: "Ning Yi, what kind of person is grandma?"

She decided to inquire about it from her eldest son. Compared to Ji Zhile, who occasionally speaks exaggeratedly, Ji Ningyi is more reliable.

Sure enough, Ji Ningyi said: "Grandma's house is far away from ours. It turns out that Dad took us to grandma's house many times."

"What about mom?" Si Tian asked.

Ji Ning took a look at her and said in a low voice, "Mom doesn't want to go. Mom said grandma doesn't like her."

Si Tian's face froze, she was under pressure, she was really not good at handling the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I just hoped that Ji Jiangzhou would be a little better by then.

Ji Ningyi immediately comforted: "Mom, don't be sad, I like mom."

Si Tian patted him on the shoulder: "You are enough."

Ji Ning nodded, thinking to himself, if grandma still doesn't like her current mother and bullies her, he will protect her and take her home.

It was a cool and fine Friday, and Si Tian put on coats for the two children.

Ji Zhile clamored to wear new green dinosaur clothes, and Ji Ningyi hesitated to wear Ultraman, but Si Tian decisively refused, making Ji Ningyi go casual.

The two children each have their own style, and there is no requirement for uniformity, as long as they like it.

Si Tian was still a little nervous, so she said to Ji Jiangzhou: "I will be at my mother-in-law's house later, so you can use me more."

Ji Jiangzhou was still a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Si Tian said: "Don't you know, you should use your daughter-in-law more in front of your mother, and you have to be too good to your daughter-in-law, which will make your mother jealous, so it turns out that my son was born and raised so hard to be used by another woman." Yes, this is not conducive to harmonious family relations."

Anyway, in Si Tian's eyes, they only went to her mother-in-law's house once in a while, and acting could maintain their relationship in the future, and she was willing to act.

And her understanding of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law comes from the countless TV dramas she has watched and family relationship mediation variety shows.

But Ji Jiangzhou laughed: "My mother can't, I want to order you in front of her, I guess I will be scolded first."

Si Tian felt that Ji Jiangzhou didn't understand, and Ning Yi said that her mother-in-law didn't like her, so it must be true.

"Just act according to what I said. If you feel sorry and don't go home, treat me better."

Ji Jiangzhou humbly asked: "How is it good for you?"

Si Tian said euphemistically: "Look to see if there are any new bags released recently."

Ji Jiangzhou had an epiphany: "I see, thank you."

Being very polite, Si Tian's mood also improved: "You're welcome, you should."

One cannot treat oneself badly.

As the journey gradually shortened, Si Tian was a little uneasy, thinking of Ji Zhile's grandma's majestic dog, and thinking of Ji Ning's dislike.

The car parked in front of a villa. Unlike their villa area, this is a single-family villa located in the suburbs with a good surrounding environment. There is also a large yard in front of the villa, which is very suitable for people living in social terror.

Si Tian took a deep breath, got out of the car, and took Ji Jiangzhou's wrist, causing him to take a look, but didn't say anything.

Ji Zhile ran into the car as soon as he got out of the car, his voice was very excited: "Xiao Hei, I'm here!"

Needless to say, he knew that Xiao Hei was the dog. Si Tian watched his little figure rushing into the yard, and immediately wanted him to be careful.

Then I watched Ji Zhile walk out with a black teddy. The short Teddy was as tall as Ji Zhile's thigh, and Ji Zhile's eyes were shining. He stroked the dog's head and asked her: " Mom, isn't Xiao Hei very majestic?"

Si Tian: "I think it might be more appropriate to describe it as cute..."

"Wow!" the puppy barked, as if agreeing with Si Tian's proposal.

Si Tian looked at Teddy held in Ji Zhile's hand, thinking how could it be considered awe-inspiring, and Ji Zhile exaggerated it again.

"Come in quickly when you're here, what are you doing standing at the door?" At this moment, a masculine female voice came from the villa.

When Si Tian walked into the villa, she saw her mother-in-law, she was wearing well-fitting clothes, she looked very neat, wearing an apron, and there were some fresh carrots with soil under her feet, which were different from the big, beautiful and straight carrots in the supermarket. They have different shapes, and there is water on the carrot tops.

Si Tian was stunned, she was too familiar with this image, she often saw her grandma come back from farm work like this when she was a child.

She was so surprised that Ji Jiangzhou said, "Go get Mom a glass of water."

Si Tian immediately realized that this was what they agreed to do in the car, and she didn't expect Ji Jiangzhou to really cooperate with her.

She immediately said, "Okay, now."

Cheng Yangjiao raised his brows immediately, and reprimanded: "Will you go by yourself if you want to pour water, you are quite good at calling people."

Ji Jiangzhou had already expected this result, and walked to the water dispenser without any complaints, took out the cup and washed it in the kitchen.

Si Tianxin thought, this seems to be different from what she thought.

Sure enough, in the next second, Cheng Yangjiao said to her, "You too, do what other people tell you to do? You won't be as obedient as a dog."

After finishing speaking, she called out: "Xiao Hei, come here."

The black teddy was still circling Ji Zhile, as if he didn't hear it.

Cheng Yangjiao took out a pack of freeze-dried from the coffee table, slapped it twice, and immediately Teddy gave up on Ji Zhile and ran towards her, yelling around her.

Cheng Yangjiao gave Si Tian a look: You see it.

Even a dog needs something delicious to run over.

Si Tian felt that she was being connoted.

At this time, Ji Jiangzhou had already brought up the water glass and poured two glasses of water thoughtfully. Cheng Yangjiao said, "That's right. Do things yourself. Don't treat your family as a company. You should learn from your father."

Ji Jiangzhou said, "Understood."

Si Tian was as quiet as a chicken, picked up a glass of water and took a sip silently.

Cheng Yangjiao raised his eyebrows: "That's right."

Ji Jiangzhou glanced at Si Tian. Although he didn't say anything, the implication was obvious: Do you believe what I said now?

Si Tian didn't look at him, she still drank water silently, being a quiet and obedient daughter-in-law.

The dog ran away, and Ji Zhile also saw the carrots on the ground, and immediately put on a small face: "Grandma, I don't want to eat carrots."

"This carrot is delicious. I grew it myself. Zhile will definitely like it." Cheng Yangjiao said confidently.

Ji Zhile was dubious, looked at Si Tian: "Really? Mom."

Si Tian nodded suddenly: "Of course it's true, will mom and grandma still lie to you?"

Ji Zhile thought for a while and said, "That's fine."

Si Tian raised her head, looked at her mother-in-law, and suddenly saw the intention of cheating the child in the eyes of the other party, and smiled at each other, saying everything without saying anything.

"Grandma, I'm going to play on the swing." Ji Zhile said.

Cheng Yangjiao said, "Go, that's right."

She stood up and called out, "Xiao Fang."

A middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen. She looked older than Cheng Yangjiao, with wrinkles around her eyes, but she shouted, "Sister Cheng, what's the matter?"

"Isn't your granddaughter here? Let a few children play together, make it lively." Cheng Yangjiao said, "This is my grandson, Zhile, Ning Yi."

The two children immediately shouted politely: "Mother-in-law is good."

The middle-aged woman immediately waved her hand, her eyes were full of old-fashioned simplicity: "No need, no need, my granddaughter came from the countryside, how can she play with the two young masters?"

When Si Tian heard this, she immediately said: "Auntie, there is no such thing as a young master now. Everyone is equal. It is interesting for children to play together. Your granddaughter is too lonely here alone."

Hearing this, Cheng Yangjiao glanced at her, and the middle-aged woman became even more embarrassed: "Then I'll ask Panpan to play with me."

Si Tian said to the two children: "Zhile Ningyi, go and ask Panpan if he would like to play with you."

Ji Zhile couldn't understand some of the words in their conversation just now, but it didn't hinder his overall understanding. He was very happy: "Are we going to have new friends?"

Ji Ningyi was a little worried about Si Tian: "Mom, I want to accompany you."

Si Tian waved her hand generously: "Don't accompany me, you can go and play by yourself."

Si Tian feels that she is very good, and Ji Ning doesn't need to worry at all, the children still have to play with them.

The two children followed the middle-aged woman to the small room on the first floor. Ji Zhile's voice was very enthusiastic: "Are you just Panpan, let's go on the swing together!"

"The three of you can still play hide and seek."

Anyway, in Ji Zhile's view, the more people there are when playing games, the better.

Ji Ning said: "Zhile, you should be called sister."

The middle-aged woman immediately said, "No need, just call me by name."

Ji Zhile tilted his head to take a look: "Panpan."

Si Tian saw the little girl walking out of the room, her skin was slightly darker, but the part exposed by the collar was fair, and she could tell at a glance that she had been exposed to the sun. With short hair, she stood in the living room and politely slapped them. call.

Cheng Yangjiao said: "There is a lot of fun behind the villa. Go there by yourself. I also planted a lot of vegetables. You can pick some of what you like to eat. Don't pick too much, it will be wasted."

Ji Zhile nodded, expressing that she was very clear: "Grandma, we won't waste it."

A few children went out, and Aunt Fang held the little girl's hand and ordered something. Si Tian could only hear a few words in a low voice from a distance away, be obedient and sensible, mother is taking care of younger brother, don't make them angry …

The three children went to the back garden, Cheng Yangjiao looked at Si Tian, ​​and Si Tian smiled sweetly: "What's the matter, Mom?"

Cheng Yangjiao said, "You have changed a lot."

Si Tian was slightly startled, but her face did not change, she still used the old saying: "I have grown up."

Cheng Yangjiao slapped his thigh: "It's time to grow up, the two children are already this big!"

Si Tian was startled: "Yes, yes."

"That's what women want. I can't understand your original temperament." Cheng Yangjiao said, "You can't do it in love, why don't we give you a hundred million, saying that the crystallization of love can't be measured by money, it's not pure and stupid ?"

"It's probably because you used too much brain when you had your second child, so being a woman is difficult. If you don't treat yourself better, who will love you? The last word is to have money in your hands."

Si Tian immediately raised her glass, and unilaterally gave Cheng Yangjiao a clink: "Mom, you are so right!"

She smiled slightly, and her smile was full of flattery: "Mom, the one hundred million you said...do I regret it now?"

Even if you are shameless, you can't do without money, that's 100 million!

Cheng Yangjiao said, "Why, are you still planning to actively respond to the country's call to have three children?"

Si Tian immediately hesitated: "No, no, no."

Although money is very tempting, Si Tian already has two children, and just having two would make her head hurt from time to time, let alone three, she would collapse, unable to take care of three children at all!

In addition, there is a lot of money in her card now, enough for ordinary people to live without worrying about food and drink for a lifetime

Cheng Yangjiao said: "It's not too late to think about it now, you see that Zhi Le and Ning Yi still like you very much."

Si Tian said, "Yes."

She was thinking in her heart, did the mother-in-law's words just mean giving 100 million to a child?

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a wealthy family, magnificent!

Could it be that the original owner gave birth to Zhile because of this money? Si Tian didn't understand, but if it was her, although money was very attractive, she would also consider Ning Yi, people first, money second.

It's just that they are all born, why don't you want money! Although the money has nothing to do with him, Si Tian's heartache is real.

"I'm going to wash the radishes, you watch TV here by yourself." Cheng Yangjiao stood up.

Si Tian immediately said, "Let me help you."

Cheng Yangjiao smiled: "Come on, you liked doing these things before you were born Zhile."

Si Tian said, "I like it now too!"

Although Si Tian's stir-fried vegetables are not delicious, she likes to wash the vegetables. She cleans everything and leaves it aside. She looks neat and tidy, and she can even say that she cooked the dishes herself, which really serves multiple purposes.

In the back garden, three children are watching around a tomato plant.

Strictly speaking, this is no longer the back garden. It is a vegetable field. There are many kinds of vegetables grown in it, which are juicy and vigorous.

Ji Zhile stared at the tomato plant seriously, and said, "This is not a tomato."

Zhu Pan said, "It's a tomato."

Ji Zhile shook her head: "I've seen tomatoes, they don't look like this."

Pointing to the strangely shaped cyan fruit on the plant, he said, "Tomatoes are red, and their tails are not pointed."

Zhu Pan explained: "You are talking about ripe tomatoes. Unripe tomatoes are green, and not every tomato is round."

"No." Ji Zhile insisted on his opinion. He had seen and eaten tomatoes in the supermarket, but they were not like this.

"It's fine if you don't believe it." Zhu Pan said.

Ji Zhile pursed her lips and continued to look at the next vegetable.

Children have a strong ability to perceive emotions, and Ji Zhile is keenly aware that the sister in front of him doesn't like him. From the first time they met, Ji Zhile introduced, my name is Ji Zhile, and this is my brother Ji Ningyi. , she doesn't like him.

But it doesn't matter, Ji Zhile easily accepted this. It turned out that his mother didn't like him, but now she does.

If Panpan doesn't like him, he won't like Panpan either. Therefore, he does not agree with the girl's science popularization very much, and he is firm in his opinion.

Ji Zhile walked to another vine, and the vine climbed up a bamboo pole inserted on the ground, and some small yellow flowers bloomed on it, but the fruit they produced did not grow up, they were white, short and fat, and Ji Zhile tried He tried to measure it with his hands, but Zhu Pan immediately stopped him: "Don't touch it!"

He was not very happy: "Why can't you touch it?"

"It will itch if you touch it, and the cucumber will not grow big," Zhu Pan said.

Ji Zhile retorted: "No, and this is not a cucumber."

He compared with his hands: "Cucumbers are green and long."

Ji Zhile pointed to the fruit on the vine: "It's white and very short, more like... winter melon when I was a child!"

Zhu Pan frowned: "This is cucumber, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, winter melon doesn't grow like this."

Ji Zhile is upset, why do you say he is talking nonsense? He obviously had a reason. Some wax gourds have white skin and are also short and fat. He turned his head and asked Ji Ningyi: "Brother, is this a cucumber?"

Ji Ningyi didn't quite understand either, and his knowledge of these vegetables was limited to books: "I don't know either, but Panpan should know more about the types of these vegetables than we do."

He noticed that when Zhu Pan mentioned these types of vegetables just now, he said them without even thinking about them. This is a very familiar attitude.

Ji Zhile puffed up his cheeks and muttered, "That's not it..."

Panpan doesn't like him and always contradicts him, so he doesn't believe it.

Ji Zhile continued to patrol the vegetable field. He would stop and look at any vegetables he saw. He thought it was more interesting than swinging. Suddenly he said, "Brother, let's water these vegetables, or they will be thirsty." .”

Ji Ning thought about it: "Then we have to find a bucket first."

Ji Zhile said: "I know, I saw the bucket just now!"

He ran to the other side, and the two children followed behind him. There was only one bucket next to the faucet. After receiving half of the bucket of water, Ji Zhile volunteered: "I'll carry the bucket!"

"No!" Zhu Pan's tone was very serious, "You can just play by the side, and I'll carry the water."

In Ji Zhile's eyes, this is a very fresh and fun game, and he is also very stubborn: "The bucket I found is mine!"

Zhu Pan sneered: "You can't remember it later, so you want our help."

Ji Zhile couldn't take it anymore: "I won't!"

He lifted the handle of the bucket with both hands, and when he exerted force, the bucket only moved slightly, but was not lifted up. Ji Zhile refused to admit defeat and exerted all his strength to make the bucket move only a little bit. Ji Zhile blushed slightly, looking To the two older children, Zhu Pan sneered unabashedly on his little face, Ji Zhile puffed up his cheeks fiercely.

"I'll carry it with you." Ji Ning walked up to him and held the handle together with him.

Under the strength of the two children, the bucket finally left the ground and set off towards the vegetable field.

Ji Zhile whispered, "Brother is the best."

The bucket was brought over, but there were only two water ladles. Ji Zhile turned his eyes, ran into the kitchen and took out a basin. He said, "Let's water together!"

Zhu Pan said, "Don't move, water can easily get on your body."

Being stopped by repeated rebuttals, Ji Zhile was really upset: "I won't pour it on my body, the water I brought over, the pot I found, I want to water it!"

Zhu Pan said: "Then it's up to you, don't cry when your clothes get wet."

Ji Zhile almost jumped: "I won't cry!"

He is three and a half years old, so he doesn't cry like a child when something happens!

Ji Zhile first watered the "winter melon" vines, and said, "Winter melons grow quickly, and I can eat you all when I come to grandma's house next time."

After finishing speaking, he immediately covered his mouth again, and said to Ji Ningyi: "Brother, Dong Gua, will you be afraid and stop growing up when you hear me say this?"

Ji Ningyi was very patient: "No."

"First of all, it's not a winter melon but a cucumber, and secondly, it can't hear us, so childish." Zhu Pan watered the cabbage seedlings on the ground. She is very experienced in doing this, unlike the other two children who can only put The water in the ladle was poured out at once, and she shook her hand, and some of the water in the ladle spilled out, glistening in the sun, and evenly fell on the vegetable seedlings on the ground.

Originally, Ji Zhile was quite envious of her skill and wanted to learn it, but when she heard her words, she suddenly became unhappy: "The teacher said that every plant has life."

"Then you're going to eat them all, aren't you killing them?"

"Ah?" Ji Zhile opened his small mouth. He had never thought of this before, and suddenly felt a little sad. He looked at Ji Ningyi: "Is that so, brother?"

Ji Ning was also asked one by one: "No, it's just..."

It's just that he can't say it, but he won't have the problem of killing their lives after eating vegetables like Ji Zhile, so it's hard to explain.

Ji Zhile was very sad, scooped up water with a basin to water the next vegetable plant, now his mouth was tightly closed, no matter what he said, he would soon grow up, when one bucket of water was finished, they went to pick up the second bucket Water, this time Ji Zhile cleverly took only a little, and wobbled to the edge of the vegetable field.

In the end, he turned his head triumphantly: "I can carry water."

Just as he finished speaking, his foot slipped, and with a snap, he fell and brought down the bucket at the same time.

Splash, all the water poured on Ji Zhile's body.

Ji Zhile was stunned and blinked.

Ji Ning ran over: "Get up."

Ji Zhile held her brother's hand and stood up, looking down at her clothes and pants.

New clothes, new pants...

"I even told you not to carry the water, but if you insist on carrying it, do you deserve it if you fell down now?" Zhu Pan's voice came.

Ji Zhile's eyes were red, he was just careless.

"I'm going to cry again. Are you going to file a complaint?"

Ji Zhile's tears rolled in his eyes, but he remembered what he had said, he would not cry, so he held back.

He looked up at his brother, who was very worried about him: "I'll take you back to change clothes."

His eyes moved to Zhu Pan's side. Zhu Pan was standing with a water ladle in his hand, looking at him like that, as if he had expected that he would fall and cry.

Ji Zhile didn't want to cry at first, but a feeling of grievance rushed to his heart, and the tears fell down without paying attention. He reached out to wipe them off vigorously, and ran towards the villa.
