They walked into the living room and Aunt Jiang had already laid out the dishes.

When people are hungry, food tastes better and better.

Aunt Jiang has traveled to many places with her husband, so she can cook dishes from all over the world. She is also good at observing people's expressions and can tell what Ji Ning likes to eat.

A hot and spicy dish.

The dishes she cooked smelled delicious and tasted spicy, numb, crisp and refreshing.

The thing about spicy food is that the spicier it is, the more you want to eat it.

Ji Ning was fanning herself while eating, sweat coming out of her forehead, but the more she ate, the more she wanted to eat. The spicier it got, the more addicted she became, and she couldn't stop eating with her chopsticks.

Zhou Jingmo just stretched out his chopsticks——

Ji Ning snatched the plate away from him. In Zhou Jingmo's eyes, she looked more and more like a kitten guarding her food. Her hair was neat and tidy, and her milky white sweater was like soft hair. She was looking at him warily, "You have a bad stomach, don't eat."

Hearing these words made her feel warm in her heart, and the man's eyes were still fixed on her.

Ji Ning's defense line loosened a little, "Want to try it?"

"Well, I want to try a little bit of everything."

Ji Ning suddenly felt that his mentality was quite good. He no longer worked so hard as before, and his life was monotonous, living like an ascetic monk.

She then took a bowl of clean water, rinsed the food with chopsticks, and a layer of red oil appeared immediately. She then passed the food to Zhou Jingmo.

Zhou Jingmo took it and put it in his mouth. He ate slowly and elegantly. He would never be like Ji Ning, who loved spicy food and ate one mouthful after another.

Even if he likes to eat something, you can never tell.

Ji Ning sometimes wondered that if he were an ancient emperor, and someone wanted to poison him, he wouldn't know which dish to use.

So, she could only stare at him, "What do you think?"

"Not bad." Zhou Jingmo used to think that food was no different to him, it was just a tool to fill his stomach.

To him, the feelings of his parents and sister are just a bond that gives him a place in this world.

Apart from studying and working, he would not be overly addicted to anything, be it games or enjoyment. He did not need to exert any self-discipline, as if he was born with this self-control.

But at this moment, when he saw the girl holding her chin and looking at him with a smile, he felt that it was too biased and might even be shallow.

Aunt Jiang watched with a smile on her face.

I finally understand why Butler Li is always busy trying to bring these two together. They are clearly a perfect match made in heaven.

Midwinter is approaching, and the heaviest snowfall in Yuecheng is about to fall. The sky is gloomy and cold, without a single cloud, and is glowing white.

Ji Ning is the type of person whose body is warm but her limbs are cold, and no matter how hard you try to warm them up, they just won't get warm.

She wrapped herself in her little blanket and curled up in the chair, sitting awkwardly.

There is no other way. There is no thing to warm the body or feet these days, not even a hot pack. You can either warm your hands with boiling water, but boiling water is troublesome, or you can use charcoal fire.

Even with charcoal fire, you still have to be careful and open windows for ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

Once the window was opened, a cold breeze blew in, scratching my face like a knife.

Ji Ning turned her head and looked at Zhou Jingmo, who was sitting next to her. He was neatly dressed and not wearing much, just a thin coat and a shirt with his collar open.

Ji Ning shivered just watching, but he remained motionless as a clock, flipping through the documents, his eyes quietly fixed on the papers.

Just when she thought the man was very focused, he looked over.

Zhou Jingmo had long noticed that Ji Ning was like a hyperactive child, sometimes stamping her feet, sometimes rubbing her hands. He raised his eyebrows, "Are you cold?"

"It's not cold." She looked away and shivered. Chinese women want to be strong all their lives.

The man's brows furrowed, he stood up and took two steps towards her.

"Oh, Jianlibao, my baby, why are you so cute!"

Ji Ning rubbed Jianlibao's soft dog face.

It turned out that it was Jianlibao that was squatting directly on her legs. It was a furry ball, soft and comfortable.

Jianlibao has grown a lot recently, and is lying on her feet with drooping single eyelids.

The warmth spreads from the feet to the whole body.

Zhou Jingmo sneered, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to bring this bastard back.

Staring at the dog, and being called "Baoer" by Ji Ning, and being held in her arms and lifted high, he actually felt a little jealous.

Soon it was New Year's Eve. Early in the morning, Ji Ning made a long-distance call to Zhou's mother Tongtong, "Happy New Year!"

Tongtong can't speak complete sentences yet, but can utter single words on the phone, "Hao...Hao..."

She speaks in a childish voice, as sweet and lovely as she is.

Ji Ning was extremely happy. It seemed that Germany's two-pronged approach of drug treatment and psychological counseling was effective.

I can't wait to meet Tongtong and see what kind of earth-shaking changes she has undergone.

I heard that after Chai Shijie got divorced, he still didn't marry Lu Yan. As a result, Lu Yan turned out to be pregnant, so he hurriedly married her before the Chinese New Year.

Although Chai Shijie didn't say it, anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.

Several doctors in the hospital who used to be on good terms with him also quietly distanced themselves from him, but he felt that Zhou Zhixi was relying on her father's power to deliberately find someone to target him.

He felt that these doctors were not true friends and were taking advantage of their misfortunes, so he distanced himself from them.

These gossips were all what Lu Xing heard when he went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. Lu Xing is a kid who can quickly blend in with people in any environment.

Although it is wrong to use Tongtong as a tool for revenge, it is human nature to hope that Tongtong gets better and better, and to piss off that hypocrite Chai Shijie at the same time!

"Tongtong, come on, come on, auntie is cheering for you!"

Tongtong became even more excited when he heard her voice, "Hao...good...good!"

You can almost imagine the little clever ghost shaking his fists and dancing over there.

Zhou Zhixi looked at Tongtong with a sad heart. "Although Tongtong cannot recover exactly like a normal person, the doctors here say that she is an extraordinary case of Asperger's. Her IQ is much higher than that of ordinary children. She has shown strong talents in geometry, numbers, and painting. If she is well cultivated and pays attention to her mental health, she can live like a normal person."

As a mother, a failed mother, now she only hopes that Tongtong can live a peaceful and happy life, nothing else she asks for.

Her child encountered many difficulties at the beginning. She was taken by her mother-in-law to have acupuncture. So many needles were inserted into her body that she vomited milk many times due to the pain. Her eldest aunt also brought some weird people home to bring her child. She was in a daze, her heart was full of fear, and she was ruthlessly abandoned by her biological father.

She was so young...

It was my fault for not giving her enough protection.

She is not a good mother.

"You've worked hard, so just do your best."

Zhou Zhixi wiped the corners of her eyes and suddenly raised her head.

"Tongtong will get better and better."

Ji Ning's voice was like a gentle breeze blowing into her heart, but it remained there forever.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Ning looked at Zhou Jingmo, who was now dressed in new clothes, and asked, "Where are you spending New Year's Eve?"
