Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Painful Past (17)

Wen Li’s initial impression of Ji Tingyang was that he was too indifferent, and he never responded when she spoke to him.

She had complained about him in her mind more than once, thinking that he lacked any manners whatsoever.

But when she heard about Ji Tingyang’s situation from a classmate, especially about the death of his parents, a wave of sympathy suddenly welled up in her heart.

Her previous dissatisfaction gradually disappeared.

Perhaps it was because of the sympathy, and the teacher had also said to be a good child who actively helps those in trouble, Wen Li would always enthusiastically greet him whenever she saw him at school.

But no matter how proactive she was, Ji Tingyang acted as if he didn’t know her, remaining silent and cold.

If it weren’t for having heard him speak before, Wen Li would have even wondered if he was mute.

However, for some reason, after she bumped into Ji Tingyang’s back one day and his expression became strange, he actually started speaking to her voluntarily.

“What did you say your name was before?” His voice trembled slightly.

“Wen Li.” She was somewhat speechless.

So he hadn’t even remembered her name.

But she forgave him anyway.

Wen Li flashed him a smile again, “Can we be friends?”

Just when she thought Ji Tingyang would ignore her as he always had, he surprisingly nodded.

Wen Li’s mouth fell open in shock.

The next day.

To make sure that what happened yesterday wasn’t a dream, Wen Li greeted Ji Tingyang again when she saw him at school.

“Ji Tingyang, did you have breakfast? What are you doing here?” Wen Li stared at Ji Tingyang without blinking.

He looked up at her, slowly replied, “I ate, just resting.”

Wen Li blinked rapidly, her face filled with surprise.

So his agreement to be friends wasn’t a dream after all.

Excitement danced in Wen Li’s eyes as she took a few steps forward to his side, “What did you have for breakfast?”

Ji Tingyang considered for hardly a second, “Two buns.”

Wen Li waited a moment as if he had finished speaking, “Just buns?”

Ji Tingyang: “Hmm.”

Wen Li suddenly felt that he seemed to have it worse than herself.

Even though her parents only cared about her brother, she could still share a decent breakfast with him.

Wen Li pursed her lips, suddenly remembering something, and hurriedly said, “Don’t go, wait here for me!”

After that, she ran back to the classroom.

She wasn’t sure if Ji Tingyang would really wait for her. Worried that he might have left by the time she returned, she sprinted back with all her strength.

And when she returned and saw Ji Tingyang really waiting there for her, she couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

“Here, drink this,” she panted, handing him a bottle of milk.

She had taken it from home in the morning.

Since she wasn’t hungry, she had kept it in her backpack without using it, and it just happened to be available for Ji Tingyang.

But who would have thought, Ji Tingyang looked away and said mildly, “I don’t drink.”

“Not hungry? No worries, you can keep it and drink it when you are,” Wen Li stuffed the milk into his hand.

“I don’t need it,” Ji Tingyang said coldly.

“Why wouldn’t you need it? You need to drink more milk so you can grow taller, and then no one will dare to bully you,” Wen Li said.

Ji Tingyang’s hand, holding the milk, paused, and his facial expression suddenly stiffened.

That sentence sounded so familiar…

“Ji Tingyang, you can’t be picky, you need to finish your milk,” Lin Xu’s usually gentle voice carried a hint of sternness, “Drinking more milk will help you grow taller, so even if mom and dad aren’t around, no one will dare to bully you.”

“Why won’t mom and dad be around? I want to always be with mom and dad,” he said anxiously.

“When you grow up, you will have your own life, and you won’t need mom and dad to be with you all the time. But whether we are with you or not, your mom and dad will always love you,” Lin Xu said.

However, he didn’t listen to a word, his eyes reddening in distress, “No, I just want to be with mom and dad.”

“Alright, alright, we will always be together,” Lin Xu pulled him into a hug, rubbing his head.

Ji Tingyang still remembered, his mother’s palm was especially warm that day…

But she had clearly said they would always be together, yet she had broken her promise.

A sour sensation tingled Ji Tingyang’s nose, his hand by his side clenched tightly, the milk nearly bursting in his grasp.

“What are you doing? The milk is almost leaking,” Wen Li said in a panic, patting the back of his hand.

Ji Tingyang’s drifting thoughts were pulled back, and he looked deeply at Wen Li beside him, his voice carrying an almost imperceptible sob, “Can you touch my head?”

“Ah?” Wen Li was startled.

What a strange request?

Ji Tingyang’s eyes conveyed an indescribable plea, “Just once.”

Wen Li’s heart softened momentarily, and she stood on her tiptoes to touch his head.

His hair was somewhat dry, and it felt prickly to the touch. Wen Li merely rubbed it briefly before withdrawing her hand.

But she hadn’t expected Ji Tingyang’s gaze to become even more intense, clutching the hand she had pulled back, staring at her intently.

“What… what’s wrong?” Wen Li asked, a bit frightened.

Ji Tingyang came to his senses and let go of her hand, “It’s nothing.”

By the time Wen Li looked again, the unsettling expression on Ji Tingyang’s face had vanished, as if it had been her imagination.

The bell for class rang at that moment.

“Ah, it’s time for class, and it’s the homeroom teacher’s class; if we’re late, we have to copy the homework twice. I need to go back to the classroom,” Wen Li suddenly became anxious, hurrying toward the classroom.

Ji Tingyang watched her departing figure, then looked at the milk in his hand; his face softened somewhat.

The ones who could accurately sense Ji Tingyang’s changes were always Ji Zeqiu and Ji Lanyue by his side.

“Big brother, is there some good news recently? You seem really happy,” Ji Lanyue asked.

“Did you find some money?” Ji Zeqiu guessed.

Ji Tingyang calmly said, “No.”

Ji Zeqiu looked at him skeptically, “Then why have you been so happy these days?”

Ji Tingyang’s eyes flickered, and he looked away.

Ji Lanyue tilted her head, “Isn’t it good for big brother to be happy? Big brother looks so handsome when he smiles.”

Ji Zeqiu thought about it, and also felt that was true.

Since Ji Tingyang wasn’t talking, he didn’t ask further.

After all, being happy was always good.

Just as they thought life was not bad living joyfully amidst hardships, they heard some bad news from Ji Yiyun.

“Starting tomorrow, you will move to your uncle’s place and live with him,” Ji Yiyun said.
