At this point, Song Yujin truly believed Song Ci’s words about him being likable. He did not care even if it was false. As long as Song Ci liked him, nothing else mattered.
With that thought in mind, Song Yujin leaned into Song Ci’s arms. They hugged for a while.
“Go and give your brother-in-law his present. He’ll be overjoyed.”
Song Yujin nodded and got off the bed. However, he could not help but turn around and glance at Song Ci. His face was basically saying, “Are you sure I can give this apple to my brother-in-law?”
Song Ci laughed.
“If you don’t leave now, I’ll kiss you again.”
Song Yujin displayed a disdainful expression again and quickly walked out of Song Ci’s room.
Song Ci was about to lie down when suddenly, Song Yujin re-entered the room. He looked very awkward.
“Only once,” said Song Yujin in a low voice. There was also an inkling of reluctance and indulgence.
Song Ci covered her mouth and laughed.
‘This little brat is so cute!’
Song Yujin was angered by Song Ci’s laughter. He turned around to leave.
Song Ci immediately pulled the little boy back. She held his chubby cheeks and kissed him repeatedly.
“Yujin, why are you so cute?”
Song Yujin looked displeased. He said that she was only allowed to kiss him once!
Song Ci did not care and kept kissing Song Yujin.
“It’s your fault for being so cute! Besides, isn’t this a normal way to express one’s love?”
‘She’s still as clingy as ever…’
With that thought in mind, Song Yujin let out a sigh. He could not stop Song Ci. After she was done, he returned to his room.
Song Yujin took his apple and went to find his brother-in-law.
Lu Gan was in his study room, listening to a report. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Song Yujin entered. He blinked his big eyes and looked at Lu Gan.
“Brother-in-law, are you busy?”
“No.”
After saying that, Lu Gan paused the report. He pushed his wheelchair towards Song Yujin.
Upon seeing that, Song Yujin quickly ran over instead.
“I’m just here to give you an apple. I didn’t mean to disturb you.”
“An apple?”
It finally hit Lu Gan that today was Christmas Eve. He also recalled an apple’s significance.
Lu Gan never really cared about festivals and ever since the incident, he spent most of his time at home. Needless to say, he did not expect to be reminded about Christmas by a child.
Song Yujin handed Lu Gan a box containing the apple.
“My teacher gave me this apple, but I think you should have it.
Unlike Lu Suo, Song Yujin was not good at sweet-talking. He also wanted Lu Gan to stay safe and sound, but he did not know how to word it at all. Hence, he felt awkward while gifting the apple.
Lu Gan took the beautifully wrapped box and smiled.
“You’re giving this to me? Yujin is such a kind and sensible child.”
Song Yujin blushed upon hearing Lu Gan’s praise. Despite that, he pretended to be calm.
“I’ll be leaving now.”
