Chapter 87: Don’t Fall Prey to Wishful Thinking

Shao Xi stared at Ji Buwang and pursed his lips as he gazed at his outstanding face.

Everything else aside, Teacher Ji was really quite good-looking. Many female teachers in the art school kept stealing glances at him, including the female parents.

Most importantly, he kept following Mommy around and was constantly staring at her. If this continued, would his mother really be snatched away?

This was the first time Shao Xi didn’t pay attention in class. He wrote a line in his notebook and handed it to Shao Dong.

“Do you like Teacher Ji?”

When Shao Dong saw this question, he was very puzzled, as they weren’t all that familiar with Ji Buwang. “Why do you ask? Pay attention and listen.”

How could he be distracted during this class when they had paid money to attend it?

“What if Mom likes Teacher Ji and wants to marry him and have children with him?” Shao Xi asked again.

This time, Shao Dong was also a little distracted. He could only comfort Shao Xi first. “Don’t think too much.”

Elsewhere, Ji Buwang suddenly sneezed.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Thank you for asking.”

“No need to thank me. Regulate your emotions yourself. Don’t blame yourself for everything. If you’re sad, just cry. Don’t hold it in because you think you’re a man and shouldn’t cry, or you’ll go crazy from holding it in.”

Mu Jingzhe thought of the five kids and decided to advise him. One should cry when need be, or they would never be able to recover from it.

Ji Buwang grinned. “I’ve cried before. I’m actually much better now because I’m past the point of being sad.”

Mu Jingzhe sighed. He had been unconscious for four years before waking up, and upon waking up, he had found out that his older brother was gone. It must have been a huge blow to him.

“You’re here to take a breather, right? If you have relatives, you should go around and visit them. It’ll pass. They must be very happy that you woke up.”

Ji Buwang’s smile faded. “I’m taking a breather. I still have family, but…”

Ji Buwang didn’t continue and only shrugged. “My heart is a little dark now, so it’s better if we don’t meet for the time being. Besides, I won’t see their faces even if I visit them.”

The only face he could see was Mu Jingzhe’s.

For the past few days, there had been no news of Mu Jingzhe. He had found it difficult to sit still, and his thoughts had run wild.

There were a few times when he’d almost looked for Mu Jingzhe. He’d only managed to stop himself after recalling her request that he did not do so. He couldn’t help but recall Uncle Li’s words.

If Mu Jingzhe got married in the future, would he have even less of a chance to see her?

At the thought of this, Ji Buwang felt uncomfortable all over. This was not only because he would never see Mu Jingzhe again but also because of the thought of her marrying someone else.

Just thinking about it made him find it difficult to accept.

After enduring this for a few days, what else did Ji Buwang not understand? He wasn’t only after Mu Jingzhe’s face. He seemed to have fallen for her.

He had fallen for Mu Jingzhe, who was raising five children.

Ji Buwang’s thoughts were a mess as he looked at Mu Jingzhe. He was about to say something when his pager[1] rang.

“You can return the call,” Mu Jingzhe said quickly.

Mu Jingzhe glanced at Ji Buwang’s pager twice.

Compared to convenient modern phones, this thing was of little value and was even quite expensive. Mu Jingzhe had never thought of buying one before.

However, she would probably have to buy it in the future to make it more convenient for her to contact people and vice versa. After all, she was a businesswoman.

When Mu Jingzhe picked up the children in the afternoon, she could tell that they weren’t in a good mood.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Mu Jingzhe hurriedly asked.

“Nothing.” Shao Dong shook his head.

Although they said that everything was fine, they were all listless and they even stole glances at her, looking like they wanted to say something but stopped themselves.

There had to be something wrong with them. Mu Jingzhe stopped helplessly. “Tell me, what exactly happened? Don’t hide it from me.”

Shao Dong and Shao Xi looked at each other and hesitated. Xiao Wu looked at them and thought for a moment before holding Mu Jingzhe’s hand and saying softly, “Mommy, they are worried that you like Teacher Ji. Do you like Teacher Ji?”

Mu Jingzhe’s mind was filled with question marks. “Why are you suddenly asking this question? Why are you worried?”

“Mommy, answer me first. Do you like him or not? Will you marry him?”

Mu Jingzhe shook her head. “I think Teacher Ji is very good and has helped us a lot, but if you’re talking about the kind of like that leads to marriage, then no.”

Shao Xi visibly heaved a sigh of relief. It looked like a false alarm. For the time being, he was
