95 Come Back Safely
Lu Ning put down her bag. “Those are called ‘fire-dragon pearls’.”
“Fire dragon pearls?”
Lu Qing added. “Pink hypericum.”
Shen Yunci was displeased that he had interrupted her conversation with her daughter, and rolled her eyes at him.
Lu Qing: “…”
However, he took a few more glances at Lu Ning.
When Shen Yunci looked at Lu Ning, she was immediately all smiles. “Ning’ning, why did you think of giving Mommy pink hypericum?”
Lu Ning was taking off her coat. It had been a little cold outside, but the hospital was heated and it was beginning to feel warm.
As she pulled off her coat, she casually said, “I passed by a flower shop and wanted to get you a bouquet, but I remembered that you’re allergic to pollen. It so happened that the shop had fire-dragon pearls, so I bought a bouquet of them there.”
She put her coat away and turned around, only to see Shen Yunci looking at her dubiously.
As soon as she walked over, Shen Yunci took her hand. “How did you know Mommy is allergic to pollen? I don’t think Mommy ever told you.”
Her voice harbored a barely perceptible excitement.
Lu Ning found it a little strange—this was very easy to find out. “We don’t have any flowers at home, and on the times when you took me out you would subconsciously draw back whenever you saw places with flowers. So I guessed that you might be allergic to pollen.”
In fact, she had already guessed it based on the first point, because Shen Yunci was actually a very conscientious person. She had everything in the house arranged in an orderly manner, and paid exquisite attention to every detail. Usually, such a person would have flowers placed at home to improve the house’s ambience, but she had never seen Shen Yunci fiddle with them since she moved in, although she had bought two succulents not long ago.
Coupled with what she saw later, Lu Ning figured out that she was allergic to pollen.
Hearing this, Lu Zhi was impressed. Her observation skills were too strong; such small details were easily overlooked in life.
“How are you so sure that Mommy is allergic to pollen just from these two points?”
Lu Ning found their reactions somewhat peculiar. “Did I guess wrong? Then I’ll buy some other flowers for Mommy next time.”
Shen Yunci hurriedly shook her head. “No, no, you’re right. Mommy just thinks our Ning’ning is so smart, she’s able to tell just like that.”
She only felt a little dejected. Lu Ning discovered this not long after she arrived… But Lù Yue’an might not even have the faintest idea that she was allergic to pollen.
When the family finished their dinner, Shen Yunci asked them to hurry back.
After some urging, the three of them went home together.
As usual, Lu Ning watched Lu Jingzhi fall asleep, then prepared to jump out of the window.
However, this time, when she was halfway through the window, Lu Jingzhi came to her room!
“Sister, I’m coming in.”
As he spoke, he pushed the door open and entered.
When he looked up, he saw Lu Ning with half her body outside the window. “…?”
Lu Ning: “…!”
Oh no! I forgot to lock the door!
Both of them were dumbfounded.
The people downstairs who were waiting for Lu Ning to get down were also dumbfounded when they saw Lu Ning stop after coming halfway out the window.
What’s she doing? She stuck?
Lu Jingzhi and Lu Ning stared at each other in silence. When Lu Ning was about to explain, Lu Jingzhi said, “Sister, hold on.”
Then, he turned around, shut the door, and left.
Not long after, he came back and stuffed a small, button-like object into Lu Ning’s hands.
“Sister, take this. Come back safely.”
Then, he waved at her and obediently went away without asking anything. He even locked the door for her as he left.
Were it not for the fact that she was riding on the windowsill and could not move, Lu Ning really wanted to kiss him twice before leaving.
