Chapter 188
An Ji tilted his head and looked at her for a while, then suddenly burst into an innocent smile, “Sis, I’m doing really well at school. I’ve even learned a foreign language. Now my spoken language skills are very impressive. Once I’ve mastered the language of Country A, I want to learn other countries’ languages from other students. At school, my grades have improved a lot compared to before, and I’ve learned many things that I couldn’t learn in J City. Sis, I really like this school, and I don’t want to leave.”
“But…”
“Sister, stop worrying about me. I’m almost thirteen years old; it’s time for me to start learning to be independent. I want to be a man who stands tall and proud. Don’t you want to see me become that?”
Listening to his relaxed and smiling words, An Ruo looked at him skeptically, unsure whether she should believe what he was saying.
Tang Yuchen had once said that the school he attended was different from the others; it was like a harsh training camp.
Could it be that she had misunderstood his meaning?
An Ji suddenly tugged at her hand and coaxed, “Sis, I’m so hungry. I haven’t eaten yet. Can you make me something to eat? I really miss your cooking.”
An Ruo snapped out of her thoughts and nodded eagerly, “Wait for me, I’ll make you something right away.”
“I’ll help.” An Ji rolled up his sleeves and said eagerly.
“Okay, we’ll do it together.” An Ruo happily took him to the kitchen. The siblings worked seamlessly together and made a lot of dishes.
They actually couldn’t eat much, but they enjoyed the process of cooking together.
After eating, An Ruo took An Ji upstairs and took out all the clothes she had brought for him, packing them into the suitcase one by one.
She also talked with him about many topics, all concerning his life at school.
An Ji answered every question. After this period of growth, he had matured a lot in the way he spoke. An Ruo knew he was holding back in his answers, but seeing that he didn’t seem to be suffering much, she felt relieved.
The day always flew by quickly, and by five in the afternoon, after An Ji had eaten, it was time for him to leave.
The school had rules stipulating that students must return by six-thirty, otherwise the gates would be shut and no one would be allowed to enter afterward.
An Ruo wanted him to stay overnight, but An Ji disagreed, stating that he had a class early the next morning and didn’t want to miss it or receive any special treatment.
Seeing how much he valued his education, An Ruo felt reassured, but she really didn’t want to let him go.
Right then, Sister Cai came over with a camera and said with a smile, “How about we take a picture to preserve the memory?”
“That is a great idea, Sister Cai, thank you.” An Ruo pulled An Ji close, their heads pressed tightly together as they flashed silly smiles at the camera, taking several photos in a row.
An Ji kept one of the photos for himself, and the rest went to An Ruo.
Finally, An Ji got into the sedan and was taken away by Tang Yuchen’s people. An Ruo suddenly felt a big hole in her heart, filled with melancholy.
If only she could be with Xiao Ji every day.
An Ruo sat idly in the living room when Sister Cai, after taking a phone call, said to her, “An Ruo, Mr. Tang says he won’t be coming back tonight and that you should rest early.”
An Ruo’s eyes lit up, and she replied happily, “Oh, I understand.”
Finally, tonight, she could get a good night’s sleep.
She stood up to go upstairs and noticed that there seemed to be one photo missing. She searched everywhere but couldn’t find it.
“Sister Cai, have you seen my photo?”
