Chapter 425: Twins, the Truth of That Year! (11)
The teacher suddenly had an urgent matter and was called away.
Outside the classroom, Ji Weitian was the only one left, standing quietly.
Her facial expression was indifferent as if void of any emotion. Since the teacher had finished discussing Ruirui’s situation and left her side, her expression had remained unchanged.
Only when the teacher was about to leave did she speak to say thank you.
Thank you for telling her about Ruirui’s past.
Thank you for their care and consideration for Ruirui, while she, his mother, still knew nothing, hadn’t fulfilled any motherly responsibilities...
The teacher hadn’t said much, but many images had surfaced in Ji Weitian’s mind.
Across time and space, she could almost see a soft, squishy little dumpling, sitting quietly by the window, little arms propping up his head, daydreaming.
She could imagine him watching all the other children, accompanied by their parents, only he was different.
He too would think of his mother, but the fragile part of his heart didn’t want to be discovered. In the end, he could only shrink into a corner, like a wounded little animal, licking his wounds alone.
The more Ji Weitian understood, the more it hurt. Alone, she watched her incredibly well-behaved son in the classroom, her calm façade beginning to falter.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, one by one.
She greedily watched the familiar yet unfamiliar little figure in front of her, not blinking even for a moment, as if trying to make up for the four years she had missed in one go.
The little guy who had been quietly working in the classroom finally seemed to sense something, his handwriting abruptly stopping.
His little head turned, looking towards the outside of the classroom.
Seeing his mother standing outside the window, his dark, large eyes instantly brightened.
The expression on his delicate little face also completely changed.
The visible emotional shift, it was as if he suddenly moved from a world of solitude to being open-hearted towards others.
This brought Ji Weitian back to the teacher’s words she had heard just now, and her heart ached.
Fearful that the little guy would notice something, she quickly turned around to wipe the tears from her face, smiling and telling him to wait for class to end.
The little guy was obedient. Though he missed his mother, he still politely sat in his seat until the bell rang, then he sprinted out of the classroom and threw himself into Ji Weitian’s arms.
Holding her, he kept calling out "Mom."
It was not the first time he had done this, but it was the first time Ji Weitian truly felt the weight of the word "mom" for him.
Ji Weitian hugged the little guy tightly, as if embracing a treasure she had regained.
She repeated his name over and over, and the little guy also happily called her mom in response.
Noticing some classmates walking out of the classroom, he would turn his head proudly and introduce her to others.
"This is my mom, my mom loves me."
"My mom came to pick me up from school, and I love my mom too."
"..."
He repeated these few sentences, patiently, to every classmate who walked out the door.
Like a child showing off a new toy to his friends.
Ji Weitian hadn’t understood before, initially thinking it was merely superficial.
Now she realized that the little guy was not showing off. This was the first time he had a mother, and deep inside, he had many insecurities, worried that all this might be a figment of his imagination, wondering if he truly had a mother...
He wanted others’ affirmation, he wanted someone to share his joy.
Hoping someone would confidently tell him, yes, Qin Morui, you have a mother now, you are a child with a mother!
