After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

Because she was worried about Xie Changyan upstairs, Lin Xu looked upstairs uneasily from time to time even while eating dinner.

"Mom, you don't have to worry so much. Didn't the doctor say it's nothing serious?" Ji Yuqiao comforted her.

Lin Xu nodded, and after eating for a while, she said worriedly, "I don't know if he has had dinner yet, or I can take some food upstairs."

She took a large bowl, filled it with some food and was about to take it upstairs.

The next moment.

Lin Xu seemed to have thought of something, and paused, handing the bowl to Ji Zeqiu, "Go upstairs to see your dad, and bring some food upstairs, okay?"

Ji Zeqiu, who was eating quietly, suddenly got angry and said, "Why should I go? I won't go."

Thinking of what had just happened in the room, his ears were still burning and he turned his head away angrily.

"I also want to deliver it myself, but I've been outside for a whole day without eating anything. I'm so hungry. Can you bear to let me starve?" Lin Xu's eyes were filled with pitiful stars.

The expression on Ji Zeqiu's face relaxed a little, but he still refused, "Then let Ji Tingyang go."

"Your brother is hungry too." Lin Xu said.

Ji Tingyang looked up at Lin Xu and cooperatively took two bites of the food.

"Then...then let my sister go." Ji Zeqiu muttered again.

"Okay, let me go, let me go, I just want to go upstairs to see my father!" Ji Yuqiao raised his hand actively.

"Cough cough!" Lin Xu covered his mouth and coughed vigorously a few times, while giving her a look.

Ji Yuqiao immediately understood what he meant, holding the bowl in his hand and taking two big mouthfuls of rice, "Ah, I suddenly feel very hungry, second brother, you should go by yourself."

Lin Xu pushed Ji Zeqiu's shoulder and said, "Go ahead. Otherwise, if he doesn't get sick or get burned to death, he will starve to death upstairs."

"Just starve to death." Although Ji Zeqiu said this, he still went upstairs with the bowl and chopsticks.

Then Lin Xu took out his cell phone and sent a message.

[Ze Qiu has come upstairs to bring you food. You should have a good talk with your son and try to make peace with him as soon as possible.]

When Xie Changyan saw this message, Ji Zeqiu just pushed the door open. He reluctantly put the dishes and chopsticks on the bedside table.

"Eat." His tone was a little stiff. "If Lin Xu hadn't insisted that I bring you food, I wouldn't have come up."

Xie Changyan smiled and tried to get off the bed, "No need to bother, I can just go down."

Looking at his haggard face, Ji Zeqiu's eyes flashed with hesitation, and he pushed him back to the bed awkwardly, "If you are sick, just lie down and rest. What if you fall down and scare others?"

As he spoke, he met Xie Changyan's half-smiley eyes again, and the blush on his ears spread to his cheeks. "I... I'm not concerned about you, don't get me wrong."

Xie Changyan's smile deepened. He reached out and rubbed Ji Zeqiu's head, saying helplessly, "You were so honest when you were a child, why did you become so stubborn when you grew up?"

There was a warmth in his palm, which softened the hard spot in Ji Zeqiu's heart.

Xie Changyan sighed as if reminiscing, "Not long ago, he was hugging and kissing me, calling me daddy, but now he has become so unfamiliar."

"How about you hug me and kiss me again?"

Hearing his words, Ji Zeqiu's ears started to burn again. The roots of his ears were so hot that even his voice became stammering, "You, you wish!"

Meeting Xie Changyan's teasing eyes, Ji Zeqiu immediately realized that he was being teased again.

Without paying any more attention to Xie Changyan, he turned around and went downstairs in anger, slamming the door shut so hard that the villa shook.

Looking at Ji Zeqiu who returned to the dining table and ate his meal with gritted teeth, Lin Xu became confused again.

Aren’t they supposed to be alone together to improve their father-son relationship? Why did Ji Zeqiu become even angrier?

Xie Changyan rested upstairs for a while, but when it was time to cut the cake for Lin Xu and celebrate her birthday, he came down from the second floor.

The lights in the villa went out, leaving only the faint candlelight on the cake.

The breeze blows and the candlelight flickers.

The orange-yellow light shone on Lin Xu's face, and even the smile at the corner of her lips became softer and warmer.

Ji Yuqiao stopped Lin Xu from blowing out the candles, "Mom, you haven't made a wish yet."

"No need for that?" Lin Xu hesitated.

She is not a child anymore and is already past the age of wishing happy birthdays.

"It must be done." Ji Yuqiao insisted.

"Okay." Lin Xu closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.

After a while, she opened her eyes, and just when she was about to blow out the candle again, Ji Yuqiao stopped her again.

"No, no, why don't you say it out loud when you make a wish? You have to tell the gods about it, so that they can help you realize your wish."

How can she help her mother realize her wish if her mother doesn’t tell her?

Lin Xu was a little surprised. "Why do I always hear that wishes don't come true once they are spoken out?"

"Uh... that's because the gods in their family don't work. Ours will only work if we talk about it." Ji Yuqiao poked the two brothers beside him, "Big brother, second brother, don't you agree?"

Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu immediately nodded in agreement.

Although Lin Xu was a little confused, he still listened to Ji Yuqiao's words, closed his eyes and made a wish again.

"I hope our family will always be safe and happy and together forever..."

Everyone present raised their lips slightly.

Then I heard her next words, "I also hope that my two sons can reconcile quickly and live in harmony and friendship like they did when they were little."

The smiles on Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu's lips froze, and they looked at each other silently.

Finally, Ji Zeqiu snorted coldly and shook his head away.

Seeing the interaction between his two sons, Lin Xu sighed softly, "See, I told you that wishes won't come true if you speak them out loud."

"Who said that? It's obvious that the relationship between the eldest brother and the second brother is very good." Ji Yuqiao took the hands of the two and folded their hands together.

Ji Zeqiu felt a chill in his body, but under Lin Xu's expectant eyes, he endured it and said, "Yes... yes."

Ji Tingyang's situation was not much different from his. He raised the corners of his lips stiffly and said, "Yes, we have a very good relationship."

"That's good. You don't know how worried I was about you after I came back." Lin Xu's face was full of smiles and he blew out the candle happily.

Ji Tingyang got up to turn on the light, and when he came back, they were already cutting the cake.

Ji Zeqiu glanced at Ji Tingyang, and there seemed to be some struggle in his eyes. However, thinking of Lin Xu's wish, he still gave him a piece of cake with a sour face in order to play the whole game.

Ji Tingyang glanced at him dimly.

"Do you think I want to send you a cake? If it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't want to bother with you." Ji Zeqiu was angrily.
