Song Yujin recalled that Song Ci did tell him about being away for a while because she had to work. At first, Song Yujin thought she had a regular schedule and would return at night. So, he did not care! His mother was like this too. Unexpectedly, things were different this time.
“Are you saying that I won’t be able to see my sister for half a month?
Song Yujin asked while looking at Lu Gan.
“At least…”
Song Yujin was puzzled.
“At least?”
Lu Gan noticed Song Yujin’s serious expression. The former could only reply honestly, “It might even be 3-5 months…”
Song Yujin could not believe what he was hearing! Three to five months? Even the summer holidays were not that long! No wonder Song Ci was hesitant to work!
Lu Suo was equally shocked.
“That long? My mother was only gone for a month at most!”
Originally, Lu Suo was calm. His mother used to be a dancer and would often go abroad to perform. Hence, he was used to this concept. When Lu Gan said Song Ci would be gone for half a month, Lu Suo had no problems accepting it. On the other hand, three to five months was too much! He began to worry. Not for himself, but for his uncle!
When Lu Suo’s mother was away, his father missed her every day. He would hug Lu Suo while wondering about her return!
If Song Ci were to be away for so long, what would happen to his uncle? Could he bear it?
“Why does she have to work for more than 3 months? Can’t it be 3 days?”
Lu Gan thought for a moment and explained, “It’s just the nature of her job. Song Ci is an actress. She plays a role in the series you’ve watched on TV. Filming takes a long time because they must be meticulous about every scene before airing it. You’ll understand the details when you grow up.”
Lu Suo asked, “Then if I turn the TV on now, can I see my mother?”
Lu Gan was amused by Lu Suo’s words.
“Of course not. Her show is not aired yet! We can only see it after she’s done filming.”
Lu Suo asked again in a concerned tone, “Three months is such a long time. What if she finds new children to play with…?”
Lu Gan could tell that his nephew was having a crisis.
“You’ll simply have to believe in your mom that you’re her favorite.”
“Are you her favorite adult? She might find new friends…”
Lu Gan chuckled.
“I’m definitely her favorite adult!”
Lu Suo also laughed.
“Then I’m undeniably her favorite child!”
Song Yujin blinked. He finally understood the nature of Song Ci’s job and stopped asking questions. After all, if Lu Suo fully grasped the concept, he might have to coax him again.
Lu Gan was worried that Song Yujin would feel uncomfortable without Song Ci around. Thus, he took the initiative and asked, “Yujin, would you like to sleep with us tonight?”
Song Yujin was a little surprised.
“Huh?”
Lu Suo immediately interjected excitedly,
“Let’s sleep together!”
Lu Gan smiled.
“As long as your little uncle is willing.”
Lu Suo could not think of a reason why Song Yujin would be unwilling.
“How about it, little uncle?”
To be honest, Song Yujin was a little reluctant. He was not used to having intimate contact with others. His sister and Lu Suo were the only exceptions. Song Ci liked to kiss and hug while Lu Suo often acted coquettishly. In other words, they were clingy. Song Yujin slowly got used to it, though not by choice.
