Chapter 132: Eat Well
The entire Ji family was immersed in relaxation after sending off the guests, except for Ji Mo, who had not slept for the entire night. He tossed and turned. Regret and guilt constantly tearing at his heart. He even wanted to punch himself in the face.
The sky was bright, and Ji Mo was in a dilemma. Finally, he opened the door and walked out. Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing brought Ji Qian and Ji Ning to sit at the dining table. Since Ji Yan was not there yet, no one had eaten their breakfast. Ji Mo noticed this scene. His eyes were wet and red. He opened his mouth but did not make a sound.
After a long while, he cleared his throat and called out in a low voice, "Sister-in-law." Ji Mo lowered his head and did not dare to look at Shen Hanxing’s expression. Seeing his guilty and timid look, Shen Hanxing sighed in his heart. She replied, "Okay, let’s eat."
"Yes." Ji Mo nodded obediently and sat down in his seat. He then greeted the others one by one. Everyone’s attitude was the same as usual, as though nothing had happened yesterday. He should have felt relieved. However, the huge stone in his heart seemed to have become several times heavier, pressing down on him so much that he could not lift his head.
Ji Mo was extremely uneasy. The veins on the back of his hand that was holding the chopsticks bulged. His mouth was slowly filled with unspeakable bitterness as he said, "Sister-in-law..."
His voice was hoarse as he spoke. His eyes were as red as a rabbit’s eyes, and his entire body was so fragile that it seemed as though it would collapse at any moment.
Shen Hanxing could not help but sigh in her heart. She looked up at him and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"I..." Ji Mo’s lips trembled. After a while, he asked softly, "Sister-in-law, can I still drink milk every day?" His nervous gaze fell on Shen Hanxing’s face, as if he was a criminal awaiting trial.
"Sure." Shen Hanxing lowered her eyes and gave Ji Mo a white and big steamed bun. She said plainly, "Before reaching adulthood, you have to drink it every morning on time. Why? Don’t you want to drink anymore?"
"No!" Ji Mo answered quickly and anxiously, as if he was afraid that Shen Hanxing would regret it if he was a second slower. He couldn’t help but grin, but his tears kept falling. He couldn’t stop himself from crying. "I, I will never get tired of drinking it."
