So today was a good enough surprise.

The two were silent for a moment through a door before Zhao Jili turned his back to the door and replied softly, "Auntie, I don't want to get up."

Unsurprisingly, the door was finally pushed open, and Qin Jueheng walked in.

"Ji Li, what's the matter?"

Qin Jueheng reached out and touched Zhao Jili's forehead, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he couldn't help but said: "I'm going to be late, Jili. Get up, I'll warm up sweet milk for you, okay?"

Qin Jueheng's voice was deep and soft, but Zhao Jili was always determined to get what she wanted, she didn't want to go to school today, she just wanted to catch Qin Jueheng who was finally at home.

So she turned over, hugged Qin Jueheng's waist tightly, and whispered: "But Auntie, you came back very late yesterday, and I haven't fallen asleep. I'm very tired and I don't want to go to class."

She clearly felt the stiffness in her arms when she hugged Qin Jueheng.

When did it start? Since when did she reject her just by hugging her?

Thousands of feelings of reluctance and doubt arose in Zhao Jili's heart, so not only did he not let go, but he tightened his arms even more angrily, and hugged Qin Jueheng.

I said that I can't live without you, that I can't live without you, that being attached to you is the reason I live, do you take all these words as a joke?

Zhao Jili's eyes were dimly lit, waiting for Qin Jueheng's expected surrender.

But to her surprise, Qin Jueheng did not agree with her statement.

"Don't be self-willed, Jili. Isn't everyone like this? Who can sleep well every day?" Qin Jueheng reached out and picked up Zhao Jili's school uniform from the bed, and patted her on the back: "Good boy, let go, get up Yes. Shall I take you to school?"

"?" Zhao Jili obviously didn't expect that Qin Jueheng would actually reject him.

Reluctantly, she reached out and threw aside the school uniform that Qin Jueheng handed over, and rubbed her body in her arms.

"But Auntie, I'm really sleepy, and I can't attend classes at school. Just take a vacation for me, okay, okay." Zhao Jili raised his face and coquettishly softly, with Qin Jue on his face. Heng always looked at it and couldn't resist the begging expression.

But Zhao Jili made a complete mistake this time. Not only did Qin Jueheng let go of Zhao Jili's hand, he even picked up the school uniform she had thrown on the ground again, put it by her side, and got up and stood aside.

"Ji Li, you have grown up, don't be willful."

After finishing speaking, Qin Jueheng closed the door and walked out without any expression, and the sound of light footsteps gradually faded away.

----You grow up, don't be self-willed.

Zhao Jili chewed this unexpected sentence over and over again, but couldn't understand what it meant.

What do you mean? What do you mean?

Zhao Jili couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, and gradually an angry light flashed in his eyes.She reached out and grabbed the school uniform, staring at the direction where the door was closed tightly.

There used to be so many mornings, just because Zhao Jili was not satisfied with his breakfast, Qin Jueheng would immediately drive her to a far away place, take her to eat what she wanted, and for this reason, he could even pay her enough to eat. One full day off.

And with Qin Jueheng's current attitude, he couldn't even satisfy Zhao Jili's willful request.Under such a stark difference, this sudden sense of crisis became huge and made it difficult for her to look directly at it.

She seemed to feel that she was standing on the top of Wanren, and the little love that had been able to hold her was quickly disappearing.

Zhao Jili didn't know that all these changes did not mean that Qin Jueheng had lost patience and love for her, but that after so many years, after the two finally became attached to each other and could not do without each other, For the first time, I realized the crux of the matter.

She realized that her past indulgence to Zhao Jili was too unreasonable and inappropriate, and she realized that she might have always ignored the fact that Zhao Jili was still a child.

It was his unreasonable doting and obedience that turned Zhao Jili into the current smooth appearance who is good at coquettishness.

She was not her lover, not even a principled adult who could be coddled at all, but a child in her infancy.

Qin Jueheng wanted to correct Zhao Jili's temperament, but also wanted to escape her strange love for Zhao Jili. She noticed a lot, but at the same time ignored a lot.

Such contradictory pushing away was too lame, and finally ignited Zhao Jili's anger on such a morning.

"I'm not going, I'm not going!" Zhao Jili jumped off the bed, stood by the railing on the second floor, and shouted to Qin Jueheng downstairs who was full of astonishment.

"Why are you in such a hurry to send me away? After all, you are at home once, don't you want to see me at all? Why do you treat me like this? Since you don't want to see me, why did you keep me in the first place!?"

Zhao Jili's anger came suddenly and quickly. She threw her school uniform from the second floor to Qin Jueheng's face, then walked away, and closed the door after a muffled sound.

Zhao Jili has always been well-behaved, and has many ways to please people. Even though outsiders are arrogant and domineering, it is the first time that he has shown such a temper towards Qin Jueheng.

Qin Jueheng looked at the school uniform on the ground in astonishment, and the half-emptied tea in his hand also flowed all over the table.

After a while, she bent down to pick up the school uniform on the ground, and wiped the table.

This child is too capricious, Qin Jueheng doesn't even know how to deal with her sudden temper.

"Performance..."

When Qin Jueheng pushed open the door of Zhao Jili's room again, before he could finish speaking, he immediately threw all his previous thoughts of blame or persuasion out of the sky.

In front of him, Zhao Jili was sitting on the edge of the bed, raising his head without a sound.

The atmosphere was quiet, but Zhao Jili's tears flowed fiercely, and he stared at Qin Jueheng without blinking.

Such eyes made Qin Jueheng feel suffocated for a while, and also felt a boundless self-blame.

What Zhao Jili did wrong and what was wrong, she had completely forgotten at this moment.With unspeakable love and irreversible guilt, she finally chose to give in.

Qin Jueheng put aside the school uniform in his hand, stepped forward and hugged Zhao Jili.

"What's wrong? Ji Li, don't cry. Auntie is wrong. Auntie shouldn't come back so late and lose her temper with you. Don't cry, okay?"

"I don't want to see you, it's all my fault."

Qin Jueheng said it over and over again, finally making Zhao Jili's expression loose.

"Auntie doesn't like me anymore?" Zhao Jili buried his face in Qin Jueheng's arms without wiping away his tears, and asked accusingly.

"How come? Jiri, I... love you."

Qin Jueheng closed his eyes, and finally said these words.

Zhao Jili didn't realize how much courage these words consumed Qin Jueheng.She didn't know what Qin Jueheng meant by "love" at this moment. She didn't understand the boundaries of family affection, friendship and love, but the inseparable attachment at this moment made her feel that she couldn't ignore it.

"Can you not run away from me?" Zhao Jili's tone was visibly trembling, "Can you never change. Can you always treat me like before? Auntie, can you not change?"

Qin Jueheng was still immersed in the words he said.Since the early summer night a long time ago, this was the first time she confessed her feelings to Zhao Jili.

This made her feel helpless for a while, as if she had finally looked directly at the deepest feelings in her heart, and placed this ulterior motive under the scorching sun.

Fortunately, Zhao Jili didn't understand what she meant.

Qin Jueheng didn't explain much, she subconsciously answered Zhao Jili's question in a trance, "...I won't change, Jili. I will always, always love you."
