Song Ci was a little surprised to receive a video call from Lu Suo. It was a rare event. She immediately answered.
Lu Suo and Song Yujin’s faces filled up the screen.
“Mommy!”
Lu Suo called out sweetly.
Song Ci chuckled.
“Did you miss me? Why are you calling me so late at night?”
Lu Suo nodded frantically. His eyes lit up as he asked, “Mommy, are you done with work for today?”
“Yes. I’m done.”
Song Ci had just come out from the showers. She was actually about to call Lu Gan. Unexpectedly, the children called her instead.
“Have you two showered?”
Song Ci asked in a concerned tone.
Song Yujin replied, “Yes.”
“When are you going to sleep?”
Soon.”
Lu Suo said cheerfully.
Song Ci smiled.
“So the two of you wanted to chat with me before going to bed?”
Lu Suo nodded, but Song Yujin shook his head.
Upon seeing Song Yujin’s reaction, Lu Suo facepalmed himself.
Song Yujin was simply too honest and direct! They needed to make Song Ci happy first so the chances of her agreeing to their plan would be higher!
Lu Suo felt helpless. Song Yujin may be smart, but he had no idea how to deal with people.
‘Sigh… It’s all up to me…’
Lu Suo was under a lot of pressure.
Song Ci had already guessed that Lu Suo needed something from her. Hence, she asked directly, “So the two of you don’t actually miss me! What happened?”
Song Yujin said calmly, “I’m going to attend my new school soon.”
Song Ci nodded.
“Yes, your brother-in-law has picked an excellent school. He’ll accompany you on the first day. I wanted to be there as well but I’m really busy with work these days… Regardless, you can always call me.”
Song Yujin replied, “I understand.” Then, he asked, “Can Little Suo come with me?”
Song Ci was shocked. What did he mean?
“You want Little Suo to accompany you on the first day as well?”
Song Yujin shook his head.
“No. I’m asking if he can attend school with me.”
Lu Suo kept nodding while looking at Song Ci with puppy eyes.
“But Little Suo is still in kindergarten. Are you suggesting that he should skip it? Little Suo, I thought you hated school. Why are you so enthusiastic?”
Song Ci became curious.
Lu Suo quickly said, “I want to attend school with my little uncle! This way, I can protect him! He’ll also be lonely without me.”
“…”
Song Yujin turned and stared at Lu Suo. His face was basically saying, “What? Protect me? Aren’t you the one who’s lonely?”
Upon seeing Song Yujin’s expression, Lu Suo slightly lowered his proud little chin.
“My little uncle can protect me too! We’ll accompany each other!”
Only then did Song Yujin retract his gaze and continue to indulge Lu Suo.
Song Ci could not help but laugh. The two children’s relationship was definitely very interesting.
“So you want to be a first grader because of your little uncle?”
Lu Suo nodded. What other reasons could there be? It was not like he enjoyed doing homework!
To Lu Suo, the other children in kindergarten were dull and dense. He did not like them at all.
Song Ci asked, “What happens if you’re unable to keep up? Have you thought of that?”
