In the end, Song Yujin nodded. He wanted to keep growing and become stronger. That way, he could support Song Ci in the future.
“Okay.”
Song Yujin’s voice was firm but gentle. He really felt that something within him had changed.
In the past, Song Yujin thought nobody liked him because of his odd personality. However, Song Ci managed to change his mind. There was nothing wrong and he could be himself around her.
Song Yujin was more determined than ever to earn a lot of money once he grew up. He wanted to provide for Song Ci and protect her. Someday, he would be able to say something like, “Song Ci, don’t worry. I’m here for you!”
Song Ci smiled and carried Song Yujin. She kissed him on the cheek.
“Yujin, look at the sky. It’s so high and wide, just like your future.”
Song Yujin raised his head and looked at the sky. He could not see the end of it. Song Ci basically implied that his future was limitless.
At that moment, Song Yujin felt like he had broken out from his cocoon and become a butterfly.
Song Ci carried Song Yujin into his classroom. Then, she packed Song Yujin’s bag and they left.
Classes had already ended for the day, so there were not many students around. Those who saw what happened just kept quiet. Unbeknownst to them, Song Yujin would not show up to this school anymore. They might run into each other in the future but by then, everyone’s status would have already changed.
Song Yujin felt happy and held onto Song Ci’s hand.
Song Ci looked at the faint smile on Song Yujin’s face. She was finally relieved.
Although Song Ci was technically not Song Yujin’s sister, she really loved the little boy. Song Ci only wanted the best for him. It felt good to see him break out of his shell. In a way, they were each other’s salvation.
Meanwhile, Zhang Huan was waiting at the school gate.
Lu Suo leaned against the window with a helpless expression on his face.
Lu Gan only picked them up for the first few days. He was having a severe backlash due to his insomnia. Since Lu Gan did not want others to worry, he tried to rest as much as possible.
Lu Suo was already used to the situation. Besides, with Song Yujin around, things were actually better and livelier. He knew Lu Gan was not in the best condition and did not want to trouble him. Regardless, Lu Suo did not expect to see Song Ci today!
“Mom? Why are you here?”
Song Ci smiled warmly.
“I came to settle some things.”
“Are you done with your work?”
“No, but I’m on leave.”
Song Ci sat in the car and patted Lu Suo’s head.
Lu Suo asked, “For how long?”
“Including today, it’s about one and a half days.”
Song Ci felt really grateful to have some time off.
“???”
Lu Suo did not understand. Only one and a half days? How was that supposed to be enough? Clearly, he had not experienced the misery of being an employee.
