"Feng Guang is right. Even a great hero wouldn't reveal his injuries because..."
"I don't want others to worry." She was quick to understand and smiled brightly, "Brother, I'm going back to my room to heal my injury. You can't tell anyone else that I sprained my ankle, okay?"
"Okay, this is my promise to Fengguang."
She waved her hand, took a couple of steps with a limp, then remembered that she couldn't let others see her injury, so she tried her best to walk normally again.
As Ji Mian watched her small figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, the gentle smile in his eyes vanished.
I've heard that Xia Chao was a merchant praised by everyone, so why was his daughter so easily fooled?
This was the easiest person he had ever fooled, and it was precisely because he was so easily fooled that he almost felt guilty.
Cough... He was just joking about the feeling of guilt.
How can someone who has no conscience feel guilty?
September, the start of the new school year, has finally arrived as scheduled amidst the cries of countless students.
Feng Guang disliked the white shirt and plaid skirt school uniform, and it took the nanny a long time to coax her into wearing it. By the time she put it on and got into the car, Ji Mian and Ji You had been waiting for her for half an hour.
Ji Mian showed no impatience whatsoever. Instead, she exclaimed, "Feng Guang looks great in this outfit. If I could see such a cute little girl after waiting half an hour, I would be willing to wait even longer."
The six-year-old girl blushed.
See, she couldn't even hear the sarcasm in his words; she really is too stupid.
Ji Mian smiled slightly, then looked down at the book in her hand again.
Feng Guang looked enviously at Ji You, who was fast asleep on Ji Mian's lap. She took off her shoes, climbed onto the car seat, and whispered in Ji Mian's ear like a cat, "Brother, can I sleep in your room next time?"
Her soft whispers were like a gentle murmur, her warm breath brushing against his ear...
Ji Mian paused slightly in his hand holding the book. He had always disliked getting too close to others, and instinctively suppressed the urge to push her away. His gaze shifted from the book to her. "Why did Feng Guang sleep in my room?"
"Since Xiaoyou went too, and I'm also your brother's sister, I should go too, right?"
She was merely imitating Xiaoyou's behavior because she believed it was a normal interaction between siblings.
"Perhaps the bed in my room isn't as comfortable as the one in Fengguang's room. Are you sure you want to sleep in my room? Maybe... you'll have nightmares in the middle of the night."
"Huh? Then I won't go!" She was frightened by the word "nightmare" and immediately sat up straight, never mentioning the matter again.
Ji Mian finally got some peace and quiet.
Feng Guang and Ji You were in the primary school section, while Ji Mian was in the junior high school section; these were two buildings that were quite far apart.
Ji You had never been separated from her brother before, so she nervously held his hand, not wanting him to leave. Ji Mian didn't treat Ji You the same way he treated Feng Guang; he could never be ruthless towards her. So, he felt a headache for the first time in a long time.
"Xiaoyou, it's okay, I'll stay with you." Fengguang held Jiyou's hand. "We're still in the same class. I heard they're assigning seats today. Let's go to the homeroom teacher and ask them to put us together."
"Okay!" Ji You decisively shook off Ji Mian's hand and walked hand in hand with Feng Guang to the other side.
Ji Mian smiled, but felt a tightness in her chest. Xiao You had just let go of herself so easily because of those few words?
