Lu Gan was smiling and praising him, but Song Yujin could sense his disappointment.
“I’m really not upset.”
Lu Gan patted Song Yujin’s head and said, “I know.”
Song Yujin thought to himself for a while and rephrased his sentence, “Actually, I’m a little happy now.”
Lu Gan was puzzled.
“Really?”
Song Yujin looked like he did not care at all and was very calm.
Song Yujin nodded seriously.
“I’m happy because you did all of this for me. I don’t care about the other party or their apology.”
Lu Gan was stunned. Song Yujin had a really mature outlook.
“You tried to protect me, so of course I’m happy.”
Song Yujin tried his best to explain.
Lu Gan could not help but smile. He reached out and hugged Song Yujin. The latter may act cold and collected, but he was actually really warm.
“As long as you’re happy…”
Song Yujin asked, “Are you happy?”
“I am if you are.”
Lu Gan kissed the side of Song Yujin’s face.
Song Yujin suddenly remembered Song Ci’s words. It was something along the lines of “others would be happy if you return their affection”.
So, Song Yujin turned his head and kissed Lu Gan’s face.
Lu Gan was in disbelief.
Song Yujin’s eyes had a clear look in them.
“Brother-in-law, do you feel happier now?”
The slight disappointment that Lu Gan felt earlier instantly disappeared. All of his efforts were not in vain. They were getting closer and closer, like a real family.
Lu Gan caressed Song Yujin’s forehead and said softly, “I’m very happy.”
Song Yujin could tell Lu Gan’s disappointment was gone. At last, he was at ease. He smiled shyly.
Lu Gan had rarely seen Song Yujin smile. It was pure and innocent. The distance between them had definitely shrunk tremendously. Now, Lu Gan no longer needed Song Ci to act as a bridge. He could communicate with Song Yujin directly. His heart was filled with joy.
When Lu Gan left Song Yujin’s room, he was still smiling. He returned to his study room with two useless self-reflection essays.
Song Yujin was ready to continue reading. He felt very happy, but that did not last long.
Lu Suo pushed the door open and walked in with a plate of fruits.
“I’m back.”
Lu Suo walked to Song Yujin’s side and sat down. He put down the plate of fruits and began eating. Then, he took a glance at Song Yujin and asked, “You’ve been reading all day? Don’t you want to go out and play?”
Song Yujin nodded.
“Yes, and no.”
Lu Suo picked up a grape and stuffed it into his mouth.
“You’re so boring! By the way, someone came to look for you today.”
“I know.”
Song Yujin remained calm. Lu Suo’s words did not distract him from reading at all.
Lu Suo was curious.
“Why are they looking for you? Do you know each other?”
“We were classmates.”
Song Yujin replied calmly.
Lu Suo could roughly guess what happened. Song Yujin was probably bullied at school.
“Why didn’t you go meet them?”
“I don’t have to. By the way, isn’t there something that you should tell me?”
Song Yujin had finished reading a page. He placed a bookmark before closing the book. After that, he stared at Lu Suo with a serious expression.
The grapes Lu Suo was eating were very big, so he could only put one in his mouth each time. He looked like a little squirrel stealing food.
When Lu Suo heard Song Yujin’s words, his small mouth stopped moving. He widened his eyes and asked in a puzzled tone, “Huh? What do you mean?”
Song Yujin said helplessly, “Are you adding dishonestly to one of your many flaws? Have you already forgotten your promise to me?”
Lu Suo felt like his head was about to explode.
“What do you mean by I have my flaws? I’m smart! Besides, I’ve promised you many things. Which one are you referring to?”
