Xiao Ai said weakly: [It’s okay, Ji Zhile’s life is still very good now.]

Si Tian breathed a sigh of relief and her face became a little more relaxed: “That means you can find Ji Zhile, right? Tell me, where is he?”

Xiao Ai: …So, did the host do it on purpose just now?

“If you don’t give it, I will kill myself.” It was a very skilled threat.

Xiao Ai: [… A direction of 35 degrees south-west.]

[There is really nothing more specific. I can only perceive the real-time status of the rescued object, without the exact real-time location. This will violate people’s privacy!]

Si Tian clicked her tongue: “Then, your role is really not much.”

35 degrees south-west…

Si Tian thought for a few seconds before giving up: “Don’t talk about southeast and northwest, just talk about up, down, left, and right.”

Xiao Ai: “Your rear left…”

Si Tian turned her head and found a forest behind her left. She called Cheng Yangjiao: “Mom, is there anyone else? Let’s go find Zhile in the woods.”

Cheng Yangjiao also considered this point: “Let’s go first, I made a call.”

***

Ji Ningyi did not sleep. After his mother and Grandma left, he lifted the quilt and climbed out of bed. He stood behind the window, covered by the curtain, and watched them looking for Ji Zhile.

He deliberately told them the wrong direction, they should not be able to find it.

Then, will Zhile disappear?

How can people disappear, only death. But when this word appeared in his mind, Ji Ningyi’s body trembled. He has been avoiding using this word, like a kind of self-fabrication and persuasion, once realized, it would produce the timidity that could swallow people.

He was afraid that his mother would find out and then all of them would know that he was not a good kid, that he had done bad things, and that he would lie to people.

But, he was also afraid of Zhile.

He grew up with Zhile and knew that he was very timid. When they slept together, Zhile did not dare to go to the bathroom alone at night, so he insisted on being with him. There are many dolls on his bed and he likes to sleep with dolls.

Zhile lent him his favorite doll for a long time, but did not ask him to return it.

Zhile loves to cry, loves to act like a baby, is afraid of pain, and will shed tears when he gets hurt a little.

When he walked out of the woods, he seemed to hear Zhile fall down. Would it bleed, would Zhile cry? It will definitely be.

Ningyi felt very uncomfortable in his heart, a little sore and aching, which made him want to cry.

Ningyi clenched his fists. He felt that he was a coward. He knew that he had done something wrong but dared not admit it. It turned out that lying was much easier than admitting.

Through the window, Ningyi saw his mother and grandma walking towards the woods.

They will find Zhile…

Ningyi put on his shoes, went downstairs quietly, and followed them into the woods.

Stepping into a familiar place again, Ningyi was a little scared. He had a good memory and knew where they were hiding just now. Mom and Grandma also followed this road to find it.

They will find Zhile.

When this idea appeared in his mind, Ningyi quietly clenched his fists, so what should he do?

He could not think of any other way, as if lying was not enough. He just followed behind his mother and grandma. When he gradually reached the place where he and Zhile were hiding, he did not see that familiar little figure.

Ningyi opened his eyes wide. There was a big tree in front of him. He recognized that tree as the one Zhile said they were hiding behind, but now that Zhile is not here, where would he go?

A wave of panic filled Ningyi’s heart. He was completely flustered and realized that things were not going the way he wanted. Zhile was alone and would run away by himself.

There are many trees, grass, and branches around. Ningyi has read in the book that such a forest would be very dangerous. Children cannot go there and they could easily lose their lives.

Will Zhile also…

He was very frightened, his eyes turned red instantly, and tears were about to fall. Ningyi finally realized that he did not want Zhile to die, he did not want Zhile to disappear.

At this moment, he has completely turned into a child who is almost seven years old, helpless and panicked. He no longer has the cover of being sensible and well-behaved.

What to do, what should he do? He looked at the figure of his mother in front of him, moved his lips, and ran towards his mother: “Mom.”

He shouted loudly.

Si Tian turned her head when she heard the voice and saw Ningyi running toward her.

She was very surprised: “Ningyi, why are you here?”

Ningyi’s voice choked up: “I, I also want to find Zhile.”

He did not lie this time.

Mom touched his head and said softly: “You are sick now. You should rest at home. Grandma and I will bring Zhile back.”

Ningyi’s tears were streaming down, his voice was trembling, and his face was pale: “Mom, yes, I’m sorry, it was me, I threw Zhile into the woods.”
