"I have to say, Ningning really knows how to take care of others. Whether it's during recess or going out after school, he always brings Wen Yi with him and never finds it troublesome or neglects him."

"For us as parents, seeing such a scene filled our hearts with emotion and warmth."

At this point, Madam Wen couldn't help but smile, and continued, "What's even more surprising is that Wen Yi seems to have changed a bit because of Ningning."

"He used to have a completely expressionless face, but recently, when he faced Ning Ning, he actually started to show a different demeanor, with other expressions appearing on his face."

"Moreover, he would take the initiative to share his favorite candy with Ningning. These seemingly insignificant actions are of great significance to us."

"It's like seeing a ray of light in the darkness, and it makes us full of anticipation and hope for Wen Yi's future recovery."

At this moment, a crisp cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, breaking the warm atmosphere on the scene.

Xia Ruoan looked down and found that the caller ID showed that it was Leng's mother calling.

She glanced at the time and realized that it had been a long time since she took the children out to play. Mother Leng must be very worried because she couldn't see her children at home.

So she quickly apologized to Mrs. Wen and answered the phone.

"Mom, I'm sorry." Xia Ruoan said apologetically to the other end of the phone, "I forgot to tell you in advance that Suisui and the others were called by their teacher today, so they've been delayed for a while."

"They are all fine, don't worry. We will explain the situation to you in detail after we get home." After saying that, she smiled, as if she wanted to reassure the mother on the other end of the phone.

After hearing his mother hang up the phone, Xia Ruoan gently put down the phone, then turned his gaze to the Wen family and said politely, "Grandma is worried about the children and they haven't come home yet, so I'll take the children back first."

As she spoke, she bowed slightly to the Wen couple as a farewell.

At this time, Xia Ruoan found that Ningning was still holding Wen Yi's hand tightly, talking non-stop, with no intention of leaving at all.

So she couldn't help but shout helplessly: "Ningning, grandma called and said that the meal is ready. We have to go home and eat quickly."

Hearing her mother's call, Ningning nodded reluctantly and replied, "Okay, Mom."

However, just as she turned around and was about to leave, Ningning suddenly seemed to remember something.

Ning Ning turned around again, pulled Wen Yi's pigtail and shook it, and said to him happily: "Wen Yi, see you tomorrow. I will bring you a lot of delicious tomatoes then."

As soon as the words fell, Xia Ruoan quickly spoke up to stop her, saying, "Ningning, you can't pull other people's hair like that! Let go."

Hearing her mother's criticism, Ningning stuck out her tongue mischievously and let go of her hand.

"Ningning, I hit your hand. Aren't you bullying me?" Xia Ruoan looked at Ningning helplessly, shook his head gently, and advised earnestly: "It's not good for you to do this. Even if the hit was light, it's wrong."

Ning Ning retorted seriously, "But it's really very mild. He definitely won't feel any pain."

Seeing this, Xia Ruoan continued to persuade patiently, "No matter what, this behavior is impolite. You can't do this."

After hearing this, Ning Ning nodded obediently, indicating that she understood, and then said obediently: "Okay, I know I was wrong, and I will never do this again."

Then, he turned to Wen Yi and apologized to him sincerely: "Wen Yi, I'm sorry."

As he said this, he was about to reach out to pull his mother's hand and leave.

However, at this moment, Ningning suddenly felt as if her clothes were being pulled by something.

He turned around curiously and found that it was Wen Yi who was pulling the corner of his clothes tightly.

So, she looked at Wen Yi with doubtful eyes and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Wen Yi slowly raised his head and looked at Ning Ning with his clear eyes. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. He said slowly with a slightly hoarse voice, "Ning Ning, thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of her hand, lowered his head and silently fiddled with the sparkling little star on his backpack.

Ningning seemed to be under a spell and was completely stunned.

After a long while, he came back to his senses. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief and jumped up excitedly. His little hand tightly grasped Wen Yi's hand and confirmed again: "Wen Yi, you called my name just now, right?"

The Wen couple standing by were also stunned. They looked at each other and couldn't believe their ears. Just now, their Wen Yi spoke, called Ningning, and said thank you?

"Yier, you just spoke, right?" Mrs. Wen's face was covered with tears, and her voice trembled with excitement. She hugged Wen Yi tightly, as if she was afraid that the child would disappear if she let go.

Wen Ziyi, who was standing by, also had tears in his eyes, and his heart was filled with unspeakable anticipation and joy. He thought to himself: Will I ever have the chance to hear my son call me "Dad" in person?

However, at this moment, Wen Yi just looked at Ning Ning beside him quietly, and did not call out again as everyone expected.

Ning Ning seemed to have discovered a new world. She held Wen Yi's hand in disbelief and asked anxiously, "Wen Yi, can you call me again?"

Seeing that Wen Yi had no reaction, Ning Ning hurriedly continued to coax him, "Wen Yi, if you call me again, I'll give you all my tomatoes tomorrow. How about that? Pretty good deal, right?"

As she spoke, she gently shook Wen Yi's little hand, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Wen Yi, my name is Ningning, and my full name is Leng Zining." Ningning blinked her bright big eyes and looked at Wen Yi expectantly, hoping to get a response.

Just when everyone thought Wen Yi would not make any more moves, suddenly, a soft and tender voice like the sound of nature was heard - "Ningning."

Although the call was soft, everyone present heard it clearly.

The Wen couple were stunned at first, and then burst into tears of joy. Even Xia Ruoan, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

It was obvious that this was the first time Wen Yi spoke.

"Wow, Wen Yi actually called me Ningning." Ningning jumped three feet high with excitement, and a smile as bright as a spring flower bloomed on her face.

He turned to Sui Sui and Nian Nian with excitement, eager to share his joy: "Sui Sui, Nian Nian, did you hear that? Wen Yi called my name. Wen Yi finally wanted to talk to me."

Suisui and Niannian glanced at Wen Yi in the direction of Ningning's finger. They did not fight or argue with Ningning as usual, but just nodded in tacit understanding to show their agreement.

At this time, Niannian looked at her mother expectantly and asked curiously, "Mom, does this mean that Wen Yi has recovered and can speak now?"

Xia Ruoan shook her head gently and replied softly, "We have to wait for the doctor to examine her carefully before we can confirm this. But judging from the current condition, there should be some degree of improvement."

After saying that, Xia Ruoan looked at the children with a smile.

Ningning then raised her little head, blinked her big, watery eyes, and asked her mother expectantly, "What about me, Mom? Will my condition improve, too?"

Xia Ruoan shook his head slowly again, and with a hint of apology on his face, he hugged Ningning tightly in his arms, looked at him gently and said, "Ningning, your situation is different from Wen Yi's. It won't get better."

However, unexpectedly, little Ningning was remarkably strong and optimistic. He said with a smile, "It's okay. Even if I can't get better, it's no big deal. This way, I won't be afraid of the pain."

Ningning is still the child who knows how to comfort herself as always.

All the words of comfort Xia Ruoan had prepared were useless at this moment, because the little guy in front of him was so adorable.

She couldn't help but bend down and give him a gentle kiss on his pink little face.

Then, she looked at him tenderly and whispered, "No matter what happens to you, you will always be your most beloved baby."

At this time, Sui Sui and Niannian, who were standing by, saw their mother kissing Ningning and immediately stopped. They shouted almost at the same time: "Mom, there's me too!" Their voices were clear and loud, full of childlike innocence.

When Xia Ruoan heard the two children's cries, he quickly turned around, carefully placed Ningning in his arms on the ground, then squatted down and kissed Suisui and Niannian on the cheek respectively.

I smiled and said to them, "You are all my sweethearts."

At this moment, Wen Ziyi, who had been standing nearby, could no longer suppress his excitement.

Looking at Ningning, his eyes were full of gratitude, "Thank you, Ningning."

He was extremely grateful that he had listened to the teacher's advice and let Ningning from the Leng family sit at the same table with his son.

Now it seems that this was an extremely correct decision.

Wen Ziyi hugged his wife and son tightly, his eyes never leaving Ningning.

Although their son still refuses to call them mom and dad, they firmly believe that as long as they persist in giving him love and care, he will one day be greeted by the long-awaited name.

After all, Yier can already call Ningning, so it is only a matter of time before he calls mom and dad.

Finally, Wen Ziyi raised his head, looked at Xia Ruoan, and said politely, "Madam Leng, I'm sorry, we'll take our leave first. We plan to take Yi'er to see a doctor for a thorough checkup."

"Okay, I hope Yier's condition can improve." Xia Ruoan understood their feelings. She was also so anxious when Ningning was in trouble.
