Chapter 362 - 362: Past
Ji Jing nodded in understanding.” For a mother who has lost her child, this is the only way to comfort her.”
“I don’t know if you can understand…Actually, it’s not just Mom who needs it. Everyone in this family urgently needs a channel to transfer their pain.” Ji Xun pursed his lips.” A little baby really needed too much care and attention. His sister needed him, and it became a form of support for us at that time. Because there were still people who needed to be taken care of, we had to be strong. Just like that, we passed through the most difficult period of time.”
“So, doting on Yaoyao, loving her, and taking care of her are almost engraved into all our habits. At that time, Mom completely treated Yaoyao as you. We couldn’t burst this bubble, so only the four of us knew about your disappearance.”
“I didn’t tell the younger ones exactly. I was afraid that they would spill the beans if they were too young. So many years have passed…Mom has recovered, so we didn’t deliberately hide it. Some of the younger brothers guessed it, but some didn’t know, so your return was a huge shock.” Ji Xun pondered.
Wasn’t this too cruel for Ji Jing? It was as if her family had forgotten about her in time.
“So many years have passed. In fact, we have already embarked on different paths.” Ji Jing listened attentively and even smiled helplessly. She was tolerant and understanding, but there wasn’t a hint of emotion on her face that Ji Xun wanted to see.
“I…” Ji Xun opened his mouth, but he didn’t know where to start. To say that his family actually cared about her a lot?
Ji Xun always felt that these words were too against his heart. From the moment Ji Jing entered the Ji family, she had clearly been rejected and maliciously treated the most.
They said that they were regretting their actions and asked Ji Jing if she could forgive them. Even Ji Xun found it laughable. How could there be forgiveness? Ji Jing didn’t seem to care about the trouble they were causing.
She just didn’t want to be family with them anymore, after eighteen years of separation and so much malice.
Ji Xun struggled for a moment, but he still tried to explain himself.” Moreover, there’s actually a problem with Ji Hui and Ji Ying’s memories. In your words, it’s a little like they’ve been poisoned!”
He didn’t expect that he would one day use such a bizarre term to describe his family.
“What?” Ji Jing frowned.” Why do you say that?”
Ji Xun thought about it and said,” I make games. The NPCs in the game program are controlled by humans. As long as the player triggers a certain judgment condition, the NPC will start to do something. Of course, real people would not be like this. Different people would have different reactions to the same thing. However, when many people in the family faced Yaoyao’s matter, they were as persistent as NPCs who had triggered a judgment condition. Their only answer was to dote on Yaoyao as their biological sister.”
“Do you understand?” Ji Xun frowned and looked at Ji Jing with a conflicted expression. It’s hard for me to describe this strange feeling.”
Ji Jing nodded thoughtfully.” Are you trying to say that they are so persistent because of external interference?”
“Yes!” Ji Xun nodded fiercely.” There’s one more thing. Ji Mu and the others are clearly our cousins. Although we all say that we’re family, our blood relations are actually different. Before this, I always thought that they understood the difference between us. However, I didn’t expect that when I asked them once, they actually thought that we were biological brothers very seriously! How was this possible? Although they were still young when Uncle and Auntie passed away, they still have memories. How could they think that we were biological?”
‘ Their memories are messed up.” Ji Jing was really attracted by Ji Xun’s words this time.” Didn’t you find a way to check?”
“Yes, of course!” Ji Xun sighed deeply.” I’ve coaxed them to go to the hospital for a checkup. I’ve also gone to look for those messy Taoist priests and monks.. Ah! It’s not that you’re a mess, but the Taoist priest you found previously was here to cheat money.”
” I understand. I’m used to it.” Ji Jing waved her hand casually.” If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll help you check it.. By the way, didn’t you come to get the painting?”
