Song Ci patted Song Yujin’s head.
“It’s alright. You can keep the money.”
“But we have the same mother! Besides, you’re the one getting the money back so you should keep it.”
Song Yujin insisted.
“What’s mine is yours. Anyway, you’re still young. I’ll just hold onto it first. Once you reach adulthood, I’ll return everything.”
Song Ci pinched his face.
Song Yujin knew it would be a long time until he reached adulthood. Hence, he reluctantly agreed.
Song Ci smiled and said, “Yujin, don’t forget your sister when you’re rich!”
Originally, Song Yujin planned to leave her once he grew up. Now, he felt a little guilty.
Since Song Yujin did not nod, Song Ci teased, “Wait, are you actually planning to abandon your gentle, kind, beautiful, caring, and cute sister? Have you already forgotten about the story I told you yesterday? You unfilial little brother!”
Then, she tickled the little boy.
Song Yujin did not laugh.
His sister’s memory was not very good. What if she developed dementia as she got older? If he left, what would happen to her? Upon thinking that, Song Yujin decided not to leave Song Ci. He was worried she would be bullied.
Song Yujin made up his mind and tickled Song Ci back.
Unlike Song Yujin, Song Ci was ticklish! She could not help but laugh out loud.
“Hahaha, you little rascal! How dare you tickle your sister! Hahaha…”
Song Yujin also laughed, but it sounded very restrained. Then, he said in a soft and firm voice, “I won’t abandon you. When I’m able to earn money, I’ll support you.”
“Really? You’re not lying to me, right?”
Song Ci hugged and kissed the little boy’s face.
Song Yujin nodded. He did not really like it when people asked him for confirmation. After all, the other part would simply believe what they wanted. Regardless, he tolerated Song Ci. She was the expectation and he would always give her an affirmative answer.
At the moment, he did not realize the changes in his heart because it was very subtle.
Song Yujin leaned in Song Ci’s arms. He thought of something and said, “But I might not be able to earn a lot of money…”
After watching how their mother suffered to earn money, Song Yujin could not help but feel a little worried.
Song Ci thought to herself, ‘What a humble child.’
Song Yujin would become a big shot in the future! An elite among the elites! Even though things had changed in this timeline, Song Ci believed that Song Yujin would still be successful.
“Don’t worry. You’ll definitely be able to earn a lot of money. I trust your capabilities!”
After saying that, Song Ci affectionately pinched Song Yujin’s little face.
“I’ll be waiting for your pocket money.”
Those words made Song Yujin’s eyes light up. He seemed to be very interested in giving Song Ci some pocket money. He even replied, “Okay!”
Song Ci smiled and kissed him before leaving his bedroom.
Song Yujin looked at the book in front of him with a serious expression. In the past, he wanted to grow up quickly to protect himself. Now, he wanted to earn a lot of money and give some to Song Ci. Just like that, Song Yujin made up his mind to become a rich man!
As for Song Ci, she went to Lu Gan’s study room and read her script.
Another day passed.
At night, Lu Gan began contemplating. Would Lu Suo interrupt them again? What was on Song Ci’s mind? Did she want to be with him?
Lu Gan could only guess silently in his heart.
Song Ci noticed his odd behavior. She could not help but ask, “You’ve been acting strange these past few days. Is something the matter?”
“No.”
Lu Gan’s face was calm.
Song Ci sneered.
“You keep sneaking glances at me. You’re definitely thinking about something.”
Lu Gan asked, “Thinking about what?”
