Chapter 269: Swearing in the Name of God
Not long after Xianyue and Tu Shanyue left, Li Yanjing fell into a deep sleep again.
Li Zhi withdrew her gaze from him and turned to look at Xie Tingzhou who was sitting next to her. She saw that he seemed to be lost in thought. "What's wrong? Are you thinking about your son?"
Xie Tingzhou collected his thoughts, raised his eyelids, glanced at his son on the bed, and said, "Not only my son, but also you."
Li Zhi's eyelashes moved, and she probably knew what he was thinking.
Both he and his son were not mortals. They were immortal and had endless lifespans, while he only lived for a few short decades.
Li Zhi reached out and held his big hand. "Don't worry, we will always be together. I originally planned to teach you how to cultivate immortality so that you can also become immortal."
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyebrows, took her hand in his and squeezed it gently, "It's not because of this, I just feel that I am not worthy of you."
He paused, then continued, "Perhaps once you regain your memory and return to your divine status, your thoughts may change."
Li Zhi's eyes curved up, a faint smile lingering in her dark pupils. She couldn't help but tease, "When did our Xie Banxian become so self-deprecating? This is unlike you."
"It's normal to feel inferior in front of you." Xie Tingzhou chuckled, "Not only in front of you, but now in front of my son as well."
Li Zhi stretched out her other hand and raised her pinky finger. "Don't worry, even if I regain my memory and identity, nothing will change between us."
"Since you say I am God, then I promise you in the name of God."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden loud thunder outside.
Li Zhi: “…”
Xie Tingzhou raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Does this mean that the heavens are helping to bear witness? If anyone disobeys, they will be struck by lightning?"
Li Zhi didn't know whether the thunder was a coincidence, or because she was inappropriate in the name of God, or if it was as Xie Tingzhou said, "It should be."
Xie Tingzhou stretched out his little finger and hooked hers. His delicate eyebrows and eyes were filled with soft light. His thin lips were slightly raised, and his voice was low and lazy: "No matter whether it is or not, the relationship between us will never change."
Li Zhi nodded solemnly, shook his hand, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "Besides, our son is still our son now. Don't think too much about it. Just treat him the same as before."
Xie Tingzhou turned his head and glanced at his son sleeping on the bed, and said softly, "I know."
———
After resting at home for two days, Li Yanjing's health has recovered and he can now go to school as usual.
Xie Tingzhou also took the opportunity to stay at the Gu family, planning to move into the bridal chamber with the family of three after the wedding with Li Zhi.
We could have moved there a long time ago, but since Li Zhi had just returned home not long ago, we let her stay with her family for a while longer.
The young couple’s daily task now is to pick up and drop off their son from school.
One afternoon, the two drove to the kindergarten, but when they arrived they realized that they had read the time wrong and arrived an hour early.
Li Zhi looked at the tightly closed kindergarten door, raised her hand to touch the tip of her nose, coughed lightly, and said to Xie Tingzhou beside her: "I guess I misread the time, but how come you didn't notice?"
Xie Tingzhou's deep eyes held a faint smile. He obviously didn't expect that someone as careful as Li Zhi would misread the time. "Well, it's my fault. I didn't check my phone."
He thought for a moment and suggested, "It's still early, why don't we go back first and come back later?"
Li Zhi retracted her gaze, turned around, and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road. "Forget it, it's troublesome to run around. Let's go back to the car and wait."
"Okay." Xie Tingzhou responded and followed.
Li Zhi walked to the car and stopped. Just as she was about to reach out to open the door, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
She paused for a moment, then reached into her pocket and took out her cell phone.
Li Zhi lowered her eyes to look at the caller ID on the screen, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that it was her son's teacher calling.
If someone suddenly called at this time, it could only mean that something had happened.
Li Zhi immediately raised her hand and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Teacher Cao."
"Mother Yanjing, is it convenient for you to come to school now?"
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Yanjing?" Li Zhi asked.
Teacher Cao hummed, "Yan Jing had a conflict with a child in the class. We'll talk about the details after you come over."
"Okay, I got it. I'm right next to the school. I'll come over now." Li Zhi said.
"Yeah, okay."
After hanging up, Li Zhi put away her phone, turned to look at Xie Tingzhou on the other side of the car, and said concisely, "My son had a conflict with a classmate, and the teacher asked us to go over there now."
Xie Tingzhou nodded, "Okay."
......
In the office.
Li Zhi came in from outside and saw her son standing in front of one of the desks and another little boy who was crying and the teacher was comforting him.
She walked over and said, "Teacher Cao."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Cao stood up from her chair and turned around. "Yan Jing's mother and Yan Jing's father, you're here."
Li Zhi hummed, "What's going on? Why did a conflict break out of the blue?"
Teacher Cao lowered her eyes to glance at the two children standing beside the table. "It's like this. Just now during the break, while Yan Jing was in the bathroom, Yan Yi placed some bugs he caught outside on his desk."
She paused and continued, "When Yan Jing found out, she was furious and stuffed the bug directly into Yan Yi's mouth... and made him eat it..."
Li Zhi frowned slightly and looked down at her son. She felt that this was not something he would do.
"Let's not talk about what my son did for now. Why did he tease my son?" Xie Tingzhou asked. "On a whim?"
Teacher Cao looked up at him and said, "It's because Yan Jing rarely speaks at school, so Yan Yi thinks he's a little mute. He wanted to see if he would make a sound when he saw an insect..."
Yan Yi sobbed, "Wuwuwu, I didn't mean it. I talked to him, but he kept ignoring me. I thought he couldn't speak, so I thought of scaring him with insects. Wuwuwu... I'm sorry..."
"Student Yan Yi has indeed realized his mistake. He had already apologized to Yan Jing before you came, but Yan Jing ignored him," Teacher Cao added.
Li Zhi understood and didn't want to make a fuss about it. After all, her son had fought back.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard footsteps approaching from afar at the door, followed by an urgent voice:
"Yiyi!"
Yan Yi’s parents are here.
Teacher Cao looked at the noble lady who walked in and said, "Mother Yan Yi, you're here."
