Ji Yuzhi was unusually easy to talk to today. No matter how much Zhen Tian pushed her luck, he readily agreed.
When Ji Yuzhi sat down on the Zhen family's sofa, he reached for a towel to wipe Zhen Tian's hands, but Zhen Tian grabbed his foot.
She put down the milk tea cup she was holding and tugged at Ji Yuzhi's hand.
Ji Yu glanced at her from behind and sat down next to her, following her lead.
"Zhizhi, this really isn't your fault, really, really." Zhen Tian emphasized earnestly many times, her eyes, which couldn't hide her worry, overflowing: "I said it was your fault just to avoid you lecturing me. I don't want you to feel this way."
He remained silent, only trying to please her.
"I like it when you're in charge of me, but I'm a little scared when you go along with me like this."
As Zhen Tian spoke, she became aggrieved. She moved sadly closer to him, sniffed, and nestled in his arms.
A sigh escaped Ji Yuzhi's throat as he hugged the girl in his arms tightly: "I'm sorry."
"No, you didn't do anything wrong to me. It was all my own carelessness." Zhen Tian shook her head.
"Did I scare you because I was in a bad mood today?"
"Uh-huh."
He took a deep breath, his chest heaving as Zhen Tian's head bobbed up and down with him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He gently stroked the back of Zhen Tian's head, soothing her softly.
After a long while, Zhen Tian remained silent.
Ji Yuzhi looked down and saw the little girl sleeping soundly in his arms, her breathing steady. Her little nose was flattened against his chest, and she was sleeping peacefully in a very uncomfortable position with her legs crossed and her body twisted.
"She must be really terrified," Ji Yuzhi murmured, patting her back gently.
He was terrified, let alone her. The little girl had to force herself to stay calm, and thinking of this, Ji Yuzhi blamed himself even more.
After a long day, I'm probably tired.
Ji Yuzhi held her by the back of her neck with one hand, and with the other hand lifted her up, changing her sleeping position so that her legs were wrapped around his waist and she was lying face down.
When Zhen's parents came home from get off work, this was the scene they saw.
Ji Yuzhi leaned back on the sofa, his head tilted back against the backrest, one hand around Zhen Tian's waist, and the other hand supporting her neck.
The sound of the door opening woke Ji Yuzhi. He looked up, moved his neck, and turned to see his uncle and aunt quietly watching him.
He was about to speak when he was interrupted by the Zhen couple.
Lu Ti shushed her and pointed at Zhen Tian. The three of them remained silent, knowing the unspoken message.
Ji Yuzhi flexed his fingers. His whole body was numb from being pressed down by Zhen Tian, but he remained completely still.
Zhen Lei walked over and gestured to Ji Yuzhi, then was about to pick up Zhen Tian.
Who knew that as soon as he moved, Zhen Tian showed signs of waking up, and she wrapped her arms tightly around Ji Yuzhi's neck.
Ji Yuzhi gently patted her back: "Okay, okay, go to sleep."
He smiled at Zhen Lei, shook his head, and whispered, "Let Tian Tian sleep like this."
Lu Ti walked over, frowning in disapproval: "You must be very uncomfortable being pressed down like that. If you can't stand it, wake her up."
Only then did the Zhen couple notice the bandages on Zhen Tian's body: "What happened? Are you injured again?"
"Abrasions, I fell while running."
"Ah, right, the sports meet. Honestly, I was so careless." Lu Ti patted her daughter's head twice: "You should sleep a little longer, Auntie will make dinner for you."
Ji Yuzhi nodded.
The gaze that fell on Zhen Tian was exceptionally gentle.
Upon learning of Zhen Tian's injury, the Zhen couple didn't have any particular concerns, as injuries were commonplace for her. Before meeting Ji Yuzhi, Zhen Tian had suffered far more injuries than she had now. Partly, the children were younger then, and there were times when they couldn't be properly supervised. Furthermore, the couple lacked experience in childcare, and their work had also taken a toll on their personal lives when they were younger.
Since Ji Yuzhi came into the picture, the two of them have practically left Zhen Tian to her own devices. They know that Ji Yuzhi takes even better care of Zhen Tian than they do themselves.
On the third day of the sports meet, Zhen Tian was forced to stay at home by Ji Yuzhi, and her parents also wouldn't let her go. She had no choice but to stay home.
The teacher expressed full understanding of this.
Zhen Tian sat on her small balcony, chatting with Ye Qingyan and the others in a group on her phone, while Ji Yuzhi sat opposite her reading a book.
[Peerless Beauty: If you don't want to come, then don't come. I wouldn't have come if I wasn't bored at home.]
【OOOOOO: How's it going? Did you change the dressing today? Does it still hurt?】
The account OOOOOO clearly belongs to Yuan Yuan. She doesn't know about Zhen Tian's painless symptoms, and Zhen Tian doesn't want to mention it either, as if she desperately wants attention from others.
[Sweetie: They changed my dressing! They changed mine too. It doesn't hurt anymore.]
[Grass on the Plain: Isn't your brother going to school today?]
[The Flash: Please convey my admiration for your brother. If possible, have him teach me how to pretend to be a bear without getting beaten up. Like he did yesterday.]
Upon seeing Yang Feiguang's words, Zhen Tian glanced at Ji Yuzhi and then immediately replied.
[Sweet Girl: I think there's no such thing as a perfect pretty person; no matter how you try to look good, you'll get attacked.]
The Flash: That really hurts, bro. [Spitting blood.]
[Sweetie: Zhizhi took the day off to stay home with me today, so she didn't go to school.]
She didn't forget to answer Shao Junli's question.
[A stunning beauty: Wow, you're truly a top student! You can take leave so easily. What do top students do at home? Play games? Or do practice tests? Do all you top students like to do tons of practice problems? @离离原上草.]
[Sweetie: Reading a book.]
【Sweet Girl: [Image.jpg]】
[Sweetie: I don't understand what he's looking at either.]
Zhen Tian craned her neck to get close to Ji Yuzhi, stared at the contents of his book for a long time, and then pulled her neck back.
It's all in English, I can't understand it at all.
[OOOOOO: As expected of a master, even the books are entirely in English.]
[Liliyuanshangcao: Impressive. I feel I don't deserve to be called a top student in front of Brother Ji.]
[The Flash: Indeed, a badass life is always badass. I kneel down in respect. [thump thump thump kowtowing.gif]]
When Ji Yuzhi saw her lean over and glance at him, he assumed she was bored. He put down his book and looked at her: "What's wrong? Bored?"
"No!" Zhen Tian shook her head and picked up a grape from the table.
"Want some?" Ji Yuzhi asked.
Zhen Tian: "Mmm."
Without saying a word, he took the grapes, moved the bowl in front of him, peeled one open and handed it to her, and fed another to Zhen Tian.
Zhen Tian smiled, her eyes crinkling into squinties. She picked up a comic book from the table and stopped chatting, focusing on enjoying her leisurely afternoon.
