Appearance and Departure
Appearance and Departure — 29.2

  Ji Mingxuan looked back at Shen Mo, his lips curled up a little, his steps slowed down, and he said: “If there is an emergency, call me, Ji Ning knows my number. Ji Ning, right?”

  Jining answered loudly in English.

  Ji Mingxuan said, “You should speak Chinese to your uncle.”

  Ji Ning looked at Shen Mo, straightened his chest, and replied in a drawn-out voice: “Yes——”

  Shen Mo couldn’t help laughing when he heard the childish voice. He thought it would be nice to look after him for a day.

  Ji Mingxuan’s room was at the other end, a three-bedroom suite with a spacious living room and terrace. The decoration of the room was not luxurious, but it was very exquisite, with every detail carefully considered. As for the sea view outside the window, it was not comparable to Shen Mo’s room.

  Ji Ning’s nanny was the middle-aged woman that Shen Mo had met yesterday. She looked careful and steady, and didn’t talk much. When she saw Shen Mo, she just nodded politely.

  Ji Mingxuan was in a hurry to go out, so he said a few words to her and left. Before leaving, he said to Shen Mo: “Ji Ning is usually spoiled and a little willful. You don’t have to be polite to him.”

  Shen Mo had no choice but to agree.

  As soon as Ji Mingxuan left, Ji Ning was like being released from a cage. He immediately threw off his shoes and threw himself into the sofa, screaming. Only then did Shen Mo understand why Ji Mingxuan said that everything was complete here. It turned out that the sofa was full of toys.

  Apart from some food and daily necessities, there was no sign of the hostess in the room.

  Ji Ning’s nanny’s surname was Chen, so Shen Mo called her Sister Chen and asked her, “Where’s Mrs. Ji? Didn’t she come with you?”

  Sister Chen kept her mouth shut and said, “Mr. Ji came here to discuss business, and he only brought the young master with him.”

  Shen Mo naturally couldn’t ask any further.

  Over there, Ji Ning was lying on the sofa, waving the Transformer in his hand and calling Shen Mo: “Uncle, come here quickly.”

  Shen Mo smiled unconsciously and walked over to accompany him. He remembered that he also loved playing Transformers when he was a child. He didn’t expect that after so many years, the child was still playing with great enthusiasm.

  The morning passed quickly.

  Ji Ning was well-behaved and obedient, and with Sister Chen watching by the side, Shen Mo didn’t have to worry at all.

  At noon, a waiter brought the food. Ji Ning was able to eat by himself, but he still couldn’t use chopsticks, so he just ate with a spoon. There was a dish on the table, steamed egg, which he seemed to like very much. He scooped a big spoonful of it at once, but didn’t put it into his own bowl, but put it close to Shen Mo’s mouth.

  Shen Mo was stunned for a moment.

  Jining looked at him with his dark eyes and said, “Uncle, eat!”

  Shen Mo was flattered and quickly swallowed it. The steamed egg was still hot, and even his chest felt slightly warm when he ate it.

  Ji Ning was satisfied and continued to eat other things happily, while Shen Mo kept serving him food. In the end, Ji Ning ate up half a bowl of rice, and his appetite was better than usual.

  Even Sister Chen said that Shen Mo got along well with him.

  Shen Mo just smiled.

  Ji Ning had the habit of taking a nap, and he started yawning after resting for a while in the afternoon. Shen Mo didn’t sleep well last night, and he was a little sleepy at this time, so he carried him into the room and took a nap.

  He slept soundly, and when he woke up it was already past three in the afternoon. Sister Chen made some milk powder for Ji Ning to drink, and Ji Ning drank it all up, then turned around and raised the empty bottle to Shen Mo, who hurriedly touched his head and praised him.

  Ji Ning got to know Shen Mo well, and indeed he showed some temper of a young master, sitting on the bed and refusing to put on his shoes. Shen Mo coaxed him for a long time, and then he lay on Shen Mo’s back and whispered in his ear: “Uncle, I want to play games.”

  Shen Mo said with a smile: “What are you playing? Uncle will play with you.”

  Ji Ning smiled, fell back on the bed, and fumbled under the pillow. Shen Mo thought he was going to pull out a Transformer, but he pulled out an old cell phone instead.

  This phone is an outdated model. Shen Mo remembered that when it was first launched a few years ago, Ji Mingxuan also had a similar phone. He thought about it and understood, and asked, “Is this your father’s phone?”

  ”Yes.” Ji Ning nodded, “Uncle, help me open it.”

  Shen Mo didn’t expect that such a young child also likes to play mobile games. He always felt that it was not appropriate, but seeing Ji Ning looking at him expectantly, he couldn’t bear to refuse. After thinking for a while, he said, “You can only play for a while… um, ten minutes.”

  Ji Ning just urged him: “Hurry up, hurry up.”

  Shen Mo helped him turn on the phone.

  The phone was fully charged. Shen Mo was a little surprised. Ordinary people like him would keep old phones as backup, but was it necessary for Ji Mingxuan to keep an old phone from a few years ago? Would he save this little money?

  Shen Mo was afraid of seeing Ji Mingxuan’s privacy, so he didn’t dare to move.

  Ji Ning was not polite, and he grabbed it and swiped around. He must have been used to playing around, and he opened many software in a few seconds. Shen Mo saw that many contents were empty, and they must have been cleaned up, so he was relieved.

  Then Ji Ning opened the game and started playing. Shen Mo took a few glances and it seemed like a little man walking in a maze. He couldn’t see what was fun, but Ji Ning was enjoying it.

  When the ten minutes were up and Shen Mo took the phone away, Ji Ning was still a little reluctant and started to act coquettishly with him. Shen Mo remembered Ji Mingxuan’s words and stopped coaxing him. He closed all the apps on his phone one by one. When he closed the text messages, he caught a glimpse of his name in the outbox.

  Shen Mo’s heart skipped a beat, and his hand involuntarily opened the outbox. The messages in the phone had also been cleared, and there was a whole row of messages with his name on them.

  In Shen Mo’s impression, Ji Mingxuan seldom sent him text messages, but there were dozens of messages in his inbox, all dated one day four years ago, from morning to night.

  Shen Mo read through the lines one by one, and his vision gradually became blurred.

  ”Shen Mo, where are you?”

  ”Have you left with Zhou Yang?”

  ”return.”

  ”Shen Mo, don’t go.”

  ”Stay.”

  ”…Stay with me.”
