His heart had softened in an instant. Shao Ran had originally wanted to let him retreat in the face of difficulties, but now, he could no longer bear it.
Gritting her teeth, she brought Shao An and walked back, stuffed the bag in her hands into his hands, then took out her purse and paid.
Seeing her sullen actions, the corner of Ji Jingbai's mouth slowly raised into a faint smile, and his expression immediately turned clear.
After leaving the supermarket, Ji Jingbai was only a few steps away from the small district. He did not continue to drive, and slowly walked back with the two of them.
This scene was extremely similar to that time when Lin Shen accompanied them.
But at that time, the only thing Ji Jingbai could do was to quietly hide at the back, and didn't dare to let them find out. It wasn't because of anything else, but because he didn't want to see the resistance on Shao Ran's face.
But now, it was a turning point.
For the first time in his life, Ji Jingbai was secretly delighted in his heart.
After entering the house, Shao Ran changed into a pair of slippers, took out the slippers she had just bought, looked at Ji Jingbai, and said after thinking: If I wash them all right now, I probably won't be able to do it, so are you going to wear them directly?
Hearing that, Ji Jingbai's expression became twisted again, as though he was in a dilemma.
Wearing it or not was indeed a problem.
After thinking about it, Ji Jingbai finally gave in to reality: "It's alright, just wear it like this."
Hearing that, Shao Ran couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression, and subconsciously blurted out: "Could it be that your obsession with cleanliness has already healed?"
However, thinking about it, she felt that it wasn't possible. After all, she could have used ketchup to disguise herself as blood, so how could she suddenly be fine?
Hearing her words, Ji Jingbai suddenly felt awkward, and touched his nose guiltily, but he did not say anything, he only bent down to change into his slippers.
There was also a germaphobia, and it was still very serious, but compared to the more important things, it was insignificant.
He needed these slippers to prove his position in the house.
Although it seemed a bit ridiculous and childish.
"Do whatever you want, I'm going to cook."
With that, Shao Ran turned and entered the kitchen, leaving Shao An and Shao An staring at each other.
After a moment, Shao An blinked his large eyes, and asked in a childish voice: "Uncle, do you want to watch the cartoon with me?"
Ji Jingbai did not want to see it. He felt that these things were extremely low intelligence, and that there was no use in looking at them. But he knew that even children liked to read these things, and he I like this child, so I'm willing to watch it with him.
So he smiled gently, nodded his head, and carried Shao An up to the sofa to sit down, and said gently: "Uncle will watch the cartoon with you."
As he looked, Shao An's small head suddenly turned towards him, staring at his face very carefully.
"Why is An An looking at me like that? Is there anything you want to ask me?"
"I think you look like me." Shao An said innocently.
Ji Jingbai: "..."
didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his words, and corrected him with a serious look: "It's not that I look like you, it's just that you look like me."
"What's the difference?" The little Shao An still could not understand the difference between the two.
Ji Jingbai also didn't know how to explain it to him, so he could only smile and say: "There's a big difference, but you still can't figure it out right now. When you grow up, I'll explain it to you, okay?"
Shao An nodded sensibly, and did not continue with the question, but continued with the previous topic: "But why do the two of us look so similar?"
"Because..." After some hesitation, Ji Jingbai leaned into his ear and quietly told him, "It's because I'm your father, that's why we look so much like each other. Do you understand?"
"Father... "What is it?"
In Shao An's world, it was not very understandable for a creature like "father" to exist. After all, from the moment he had become sensible, there was no such person by his side.
But what he did not know was that these words made Ji Jingbai feel like he was suffocating.
A child who was about to be three years old, yet didn't even know what his father was, included in this was his dereliction of duty.
Clenching his teeth, Ji Jingbai took a deep breath and caressed his soft hair, patiently explaining to him what "father" was.
"... Do you understand now? "
Shao An lightly nodded his head, but he still had a slightly confused look: "Since you are my father, then why did you leave us? I haven't seen you in the past few years, why did you abandon us? "
Throwing that word directly struck Ji Jingbai's weak heart. His expression became ugly, not because he was angry, but because he was sad.
He was sad that he had missed this child's most important moment, that he had only just found them now, and even more sad that he could not hear him call him "Daddy" while facing his child.
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath. Ji Jingbai slowly calmed his emotions and said in a hoarse voice, "Father didn't truly abandon you two, but there was a misunderstanding instead. But "
Before he even finished speaking, he heard Shao Ran's gentle voice. "An An, prepare to eat."
Hearing her voice, Shao An didn't bother to continue discussing any further with Ji Jingbai, and promptly jumped down from his legs and ran over, waiting for Shao Ran to help him wash his hands.
Ji Jingbai followed behind them and watched as Shao Ran helped him wash his hands and wipe them dry. He lightly kissed his face and laughed: "An An is so obedient, go and wait. Mother will come over right away."
As he finished speaking, he raised his head and saw Ji Jingbai standing behind him. The smile on his face froze for a moment, and with pursed lips, he pretended to not see him and turned around to continue washing his hands.
Who knew that Ji Jingbai would actually hug her from behind and run his arm under her armpit, reaching under the water tap to wash his hands with her.
Such a intimate action made Shao Ran feel as if she had been struck by lightning, and she didn't even dare to move. After a long while, she gritted her teeth, endured the trembling in her voice, and tried to feign a tough attitude: "Ji Jingbai! Can you please show some respect and stay away from me! If you really lack women, you just have to say that there are too many of them, so why spend all your time on me? Is it worth it? "
"They're not you. I don't like them."
Ji Jingbai said indifferently, he rubbed her neck and felt her tremble visibly, as the corner of his mouth hooked up into a meaningful smile.
