Ning Xi hesitated for a long time whether to call or not, but finally dialed the number.
Because of what happened five years ago, she actually doesn't like children very much and is even a little reluctant to get close to them.
That would bring back some bad memories for her, about the child she had lost...
That child once carried her most tender hopes, but also represented her dirtiest past.
For some reason, the little bun didn't make her feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she liked him from the bottom of her heart and couldn't help but want to get close to him.
How strange.
"Hello... Hello?" The phone was connected but there was no sound.
Ning Xi knew it must be Xiaobao, so she chuckled, "Is it Xiaobao? Sorry, Auntie just finished her work and just remembered to call you."
Xiaobao couldn't speak and couldn't respond to her, so Ning Xi could only talk to herself and make small talk.
"Baby, have you eaten yet? You are too thin. You must eat more, okay?"
"Children should not be picky about food, so they can grow fast, and they are so cute when they are chubby! Although you are cute enough now..."
"Oh yes, I just saw your father on TV. He made a big deal. He's amazing. Please congratulate him for me!"
…
Ten minutes later, Xiaobao put down his phone and took out his writing board which he had not used for a long time.
Write down carefully: Congratulations.
Although Xiaobao cannot speak, he is very good at both Chinese and English. He finds writing Chinese characters troublesome, so he writes in English most of the time.
But he hasn't written for a long, long time.
Because he has absolutely no desire to express himself.
The two elders were stunned when they saw this.
Lu Jingli was relatively calm because he had seen this before.
Lu Tingxiao vaguely heard what Ning Xi said on the phone. Looking at that word, a rare smile appeared on his icy face. He patted his son's head and said, "Thank you."
After Xiaobao finished writing, he started eating without saying a word, with an extremely serious attitude.
He even ate carrots, which he hated the most.
At this moment, the two elders were still in a daze.
The eldest seemed to smile just now, the good grandson took the initiative to write, the good grandson took the initiative to eat, and the good grandson even ate carrots...
Madam Lu finally came to her senses and asked impatiently, "Jingli, what did that girl say to Xiaobao on the phone just now?"
Mr. Lu also looked curious.
Lu Jingli, who was being treated like a star by his parents, said slowly, "She didn't say anything. She just told Xiaobao to eat more and not to be picky about food, and asked Xiaobao to congratulate my brother on her behalf."
Madam Lu looked incredulous: "That's it?"
Lu Jingli shrugged: "What else can I do?"
Mr. Lu looked extremely pleased, "This girl has done more in one phone call than Xiaobao's psychologist does in a year."
"That's right!" Madam Lu was surprised and delighted, "This girl is really good, Tingxiao, you must seize the opportunity!"
Lu Tingxiao: "Yeah."
Madam Lu looked at her eldest son with disdain, then turned to her youngest son, "Second son, your brother is a wooden stake, how can he chase girls? You must help him, okay?"
"Now you know how useful I am!" Lu Jingli snorted proudly, "Don't worry, I will definitely use all my life's skills to help my brother! But we have three rules, both of you are not allowed to interfere. You should know that it is most likely to cause trouble if parents interfere at this stage!"
The two elders naturally responded, "We know, we don't ask any more questions!"
