The male protagonist falls in love with me again

Chapter 186: The Autistic Male Lead Loves the Male Supporting Role: True Listening Chapter

During dinner time, Li Xiaoyao kept making faces at Ji Qiu, just like a monkey.

Ji Qiu pursed his lips, staring at the expectation in Li Xiaoyao's eyes. He opened his mouth several times, but something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.

Li Xiaoyao silently mouthed two words to him, "Come on!"

Ji Qiu: "Mom, eat more..."

Mrs. Ji was stunned. The chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string. Her face was full of disbelief and her body couldn't help shaking.

"Aqiu, what did you just call me..."

For twenty-four years, she had been looking forward to Ji Qiu calling her "Mom" every moment. Unfortunately, no matter what method she used or how many doctors she saw, Ji Qiu refused to speak. She thought that she would never hear her son call her "Mom" in this life.

She had given up, but she didn't expect her son to suddenly give her such a big surprise.

Ji Qiu lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

He took a deep breath, looked up at Mrs. Ji again, and called softly, "Mom..."

The word "Mom" was like a heavy hammer, hitting Mrs. Ji's heart hard, and it was also like a treasure that Ji Qiu had used all his strength to dig out from the depths of his heart.

Mrs. Ji burst into tears immediately. She stood up, hugged Ji Qiu tightly, and cried uncontrollably.

Li Xiaoyao watched from the side and felt a little sore in the nose.

Seeing Ji Qiu's pleading eyes, Li Xiaoyao hurried forward and pulled Mrs. Ji away like tug-of-war.

"Auntie, don't get excited, let's take it slow."

Mrs. Ji saw the rejection in her son's eyes and her voice choked: "Yes, take your time. It's Mom's fault today. Next time, I won't hug you without your permission."

Ji Qiu nodded stiffly. He didn't like physical contact with anyone, not even with his mother.

After dinner, Mrs. Ji seemed to have opened up her chatterbox and chatted with Ji Qiu for a long time. Most of the topics were about trivial matters in life. Of course, this "one-man show" was performed by Mrs. Ji with all her heart, while Ji Qiu listened silently beside her.

Ji Qiu sometimes nodded and sometimes shook his head in response to Madam Ji, but he did not say another word.

Mrs. Ji was not discouraged. After all, she had been accustomed to being ignored by her son over the years.

For her, it is a huge progress that her son can now nod and shake his head at her.

She was very envious of Li Xiaoyao, envious of him for being able to receive such special favor from her son. Seeing her son so attached to someone else, her heart was like a pot of mixed feelings overturned, the feeling was indescribable.

However, she also knew that this was not Li Xiaoyao's fault, and the crux of the problem actually lay with her son.

She was also full of gratitude towards the little boy Xiaoyao. It was his help that allowed Ji Qiu to step out of his own world.

It was already very late at night. Mrs. Ji reluctantly let her son go back to his room to sleep, and she also returned to her room to rest.

Ji Qiu returned to the bedroom, holding his pillow, and walked into Li Xiaoyao's room.

When Li Xiaoyao saw Ji Qiu coming in, she couldn't help but smile, then she gently patted the edge of the bed, motioning Ji Qiu to come over.

Ji Qiu climbed onto the bed obediently like a well-behaved little lamb.

After lying down, Ji Qiu reached out and held Li Xiaoyao's hand tightly, as if two hearts were pressed tightly together.

"Okay, go to sleep." Li Xiaoyao said softly, then slowly closed his eyes.

Ji Qiu also obediently closed his eyes, and the whole room instantly became extremely quiet, as if time had frozen at this moment. Only their even breathing echoed softly in the air, like a soft lullaby.
