Lu Suo was stunned. He wanted to nod but remembered that Song Yujin had never received any gifts. Despite that, Lu Suo could not lie to himself. So, he just stayed quiet.
Song Yujin looked at Lu Suo and understood how he felt.
‘I’ll prepare something for him if Song Ci doesn’t and say it’s from her.’
Song Yujin patted Lu Suo’s head and coaxed, “Be good and you’ll acquire a gift.”
Lu Suo was not convinced.
“Really?”
Song Yujin nodded. He would ensure Lu Suo received something.
Lu Suo said stubbornly, “I won’t be upset even if I don’t get anything.”
Song Yujin patted Lu Suo’s head again.
In the afternoon, Lu Suo suddenly approached Song Yujin.
“I’ve made up my mind. Your sister came back yesterday and our family is reunited. That itself is considered a gift, so I’m already very happy.”
Subsequently, Lu Suo laughed. He did a good job convincing himself.
Song Yujin looked at the smile on Lu Suo’s face and nodded. Then, he packed his back and they left through the school gate.
Song Ci saw the two children from afar and waved at them.
Lu Suo immediately pulled Song Yujin and ran towards her happily.
“Mommy!”
Song Ci pinched Lu Suo’s face.
“You’re so energetic! Get in the car.”
Lu Suo sat beside Song Ci. He tilted his head and asked, “Mommy, when did you get here?”
“Not too long ago.”
Earlier, Song Ci had looked at Lu Gan’s medical report. After confirming that he was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief and took an afternoon nap.
Lu Suo noticed that Song Ci was in deep thought. He asked curiously, “Mommy, what are you thinking about?”
Song Ci immediately replied, “I’m thinking about your dad.”
“I see. Take your time. In fact, you should think about him more. I’ll stop disturbing you.”
After saying that, Lu Suo covered his mouth.
Song Ci did not know whether to laugh or cry. She pinched Lu Suo’s face. “You’re such a little brat.”
Lu Suo smiled but did not say anything.
After dinner, Song Ci helped Lu Suo bathe and tucked him into bed.
“Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, mommy.”
Lu Suo waved his small hands. He had already comforted himself regarding the gifts, but a small hope remained in his heart.
Song Ci turned off the lights and walked out. A sly smile appeared on her face.
Meanwhile, Song Yujin was convinced that Song Ci did not get any gifts for them. He got up and walked to the bookshelf.
Ever since they moved here, Song Ci had bought Song Yujin a lot of toys. However, he was not really interested and just put them aside. The toys were basically new, so Song Yujin thought of giving them to Lu Suo.
Song Yujin browsed through the toys. He did not know which one to give Lu Suo.
‘I wish he could choose by himself…’
Song Yujin did not expect to have such a hard time.
After searching for a long time, Song Yujin came across a crystal ball that produced music. There were also snowflakes falling from within.
‘Perfect.’
Song Yujin looked at the crystal ball for a little longer. All of a sudden, he felt reluctant to part with it.
‘I should stop overthinking. This will make Lu Suo happy and like Song Ci more. It’s the best outcome.’
So, Song Yujin put the crystal ball into a box and wrapped it up. Once everything was done, he walked toward Lu Suo’s room.
Lu Suo was still awake, playing with his tablet.
Song Yujin knocked on the door before entering.
Lu Suo was puzzled.
“Why are you here? Do you want to sleep with me?”
Song Yujin walked to Lu Suo’s bedside.
“Do you want to eat some fruit?”
Lu Suo thought for a moment and nodded.
Song Yujin raised his hand.
“Let’s play rock, paper, scissors. The loser will go get it.”
Lu Suo sat up and acted coquettishly, “I think it’s best if you go.”
In any normal circumstances, Song Yujin would comply. However, he had a mission to accomplish tonight. He shook his head and urged, “Hurry up.”
