CH 35.2

Just a moment later, he asked Ji Ningyi embarrassingly: “My mother told me to be more sensible in the future, Ningyi, do you know how to be sensible at home?”

In the class, the teacher always said that Ji Ningyi was the most sensible and well-behaved child. Pei Jing knew that at school, he took classes seriously, listened to lectures, took notes, actively raised his hands, and wrote homework beautifully. Even if he was obedient and sensible at school, what about what he does at home?

Pei Jing is not very clear. When he was living with his grandmother, he used to collect cardboard boxes and bottles that others don’t want with his grandmother and sell them at the recycling station. It is sensible to help his grandmother cook at home, but now he is with his mother. There is no need to sell cartons and bottles and there are aunts who cook for them. He doesn’t know what else he can do to be sensible.

Hearing this question, Ji Ningyi lowered his eyelashes: “I’m not sensible and obedient.”

Pei Jing asked strangely: “If you don’t count, who else?”

Ji Ningyi stopped talking.

It is necessary to take good care of your younger brother, be a good example, listen to what your mother says, and listen to what your father says. This is considered sensible.

But, Zhile is a picky eater and he is also a picky eater. Zhile doesn’t like carrots, he doesn’t like spinach, and his mother found out. He lied last night, which made his mother worry. He feels that he is not sensible.

Pei Jing’s mother would make Pei Jing more sensible. Ji Ningyi knows that adults will prefer sensible and well-behaved children, teachers and parents are the same.

Will Mom not like him so much because of this? Ji Ningyi squeezed the book tightly, he refuted himself in his heart, but his mother said that she liked him.

It’s just that it was a long time ago, when Zhile was not born yet. Now, his mother seems to like Zhile more.

Although he kept telling himself that Zhile was his younger brother and he also wanted to take care of Zhile, but what originally belonged to him alone was now divided into two parts.

Why did Zhile tell Mom that he was also a picky eater? Why did he tell Mom that he didn’t like Ultraman?

Mom initially only bought him new clothes and Mom only told him bedtime stories last night. But Mom bought a lot of new clothes for Zhile, told Zhile a long story, and picked up Zhile from school alone…

“Ningyi, the teacher is here.”

Pei Jing poked his arm. When Ji Ningyi came back to his senses, he found that he had made a shallow wrinkle mark on the book. He immediately smoothed it with his hands, but the mark was still left in the end.

Ji Ningyi frowned. He always cherished his books. Some books of other students in the class were dirty, the corners were all rolled up, and a corner of the page was torn, but his books were as clean as a new book. The notes inside are neat and tidy and this imprint makes Ji Ningyi a little uncomfortable.

The teacher walked in with his homework book in his arms and said: “Dictation yesterday, half of the students in our class were all correct. I will read the names of the students who are all correct. Students who are wrong should correct them in time.”

“Ji Ningyi.”

“Ji Ningyi is all right again this time. Since we started dictating, he has not missed a single time and his handwriting is very neat and beautiful. I hope other students can learn from Ji Ningyi.”

Ji Ningyi stepped forward and took his notebook: “Thank you, Teacher.”

The teacher who has always been strict also showed a slight smile when facing him. The classmates knew that all the teachers liked Ji Ningyi, but no one was jealous. Ji Ningyi was very good, his grades were very good, his personality was also very gentle, and everyone liked him.

Returning to his seat, Ji Ningyi opened the book and there were five stars drawn by the teacher on it.

The classmate sitting behind him whispered: “Ji Ningyi, you are so amazing, no wonder the teacher often praises you.”

Ji Ningyi just smiled and did not speak. He put his notebook away and sat up straight to listen to the class.

He knows that the likes of adults are also conditional. They will not like a child for no reason. They will like children who are good-looking, have good grades, and are obedient and well-behaved. (T/N: Beautifully written by the author. I think I agree with this statement…)

Pei Jing poked his arm and said in a low voice, “Ningyi, can you lend me your homework? I’ll correct my mistakes.”

Ji Ningyi gave him his notebook.

But after a while, Pei Jing pushed back, pointed to his homework that was full of red ticks, and said, “There is a typo here and there is an extra stroke.”

Ji Ningyi looked at it one by one, sure enough, it was easy to make a typo that the teacher said. Ji Ningyi also knew that he would unconsciously add a stroke when he wrote too fast occasionally.

Pei Jing said, “The teacher corrected your mistake.”

Ji Ningyi lowered his eyes slightly, took his homework book, and said in a low voice, “I see.”

Pei Jing glanced at him and saw that he showed a slightly cramped and nervous expression. He did not speak and did not yell to find the teacher with a notebook like other students.

Ji Ningyi did not seem very happy today.
