Chapter 359: There Are Always People Who Don’t Love Him That Much
Song Yujin knew that meeting Song Tangjun was unnecessary. However, Song Ci insisted and it made her unhappy.
Regardless, Song Yujin patted Song Ci and comforted her, “Be good.”
“…”
Song Ci felt like a child. Due to embarrassment, she let go of Song Yujin.
“I’ll help you take a bath.”
“Okay.”
Song Yujin nodded.
Song Ci looked at the sincerity in Song Yujin’s big eyes.
“Yujin, you’re a child who deserves everyone’s love.”
Song Yujin blinked. His expression remained indifferent.
‘I don’t need to be liked by everyone. After all, it’s not like I get along with every single person.’
In fact, Song Yujin liked very few people. Hence, he was not bothered. His current state was good enough.
Song Ci looked at Song Yujin’s calm expression. It felt like her heart had been scalded.
‘This child is so pure while I’m a hypocrite and liar.’
She felt like a hypocrite while Song Yujin appeared to be pure.
This world consisted of more than seven billion people. Everyone had different opinions. There was no way everyone would like Song Yujin. Yet, Song Ci told a blunt lie.
When love was reciprocated, a relationship would become precious. Song Yujin understood this logic. Moreover, as a person got older, genuine relationships would become harder to find.
Song Yujin knew that very few people actually loved him. Based on the original plot, Kong Chuyun died while “Song Ci” abused him. His father and grandparents were barely mentioned. They more or less did not exist. Thus, he grew up in a lonely environment.
Song Ci could not help but care for this obedient, intelligent, and sensible child. He deserved all the love. Being the male lead did not justify such a miserable life.
‘What will happen if I tell him everything?’
Song Ci could hide the truth from Song Yujin forever. The latter would never find out that his real sister was gone. Unfortunately, if she did that, others would always use the past against them.
Song Yujin’s wounds would never be fully healed. The incident with Song Tangjun left another stain on the siblings’ relationship. Song Yujin did not need to endure all this.
Song Ci had tried her best to protect Song Yujin. She legitimately loved this child. Therefore, she felt like a speck of dirt in Song Yujin’s heart.
‘I should really tell him the truth. This way, he’ll know that someone else truly loves him other than his mother.’
Song Yujin’s eyes were suddenly filled with sadness. He looked at Song Ci and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Song Ci was stunned. She sat down again with Song Yujin in her arms.
Nobody said a word for a long time.
Song Ci felt like something was stuck in her throat. She could not bear to speak the truth.
Song Yujin asked again, “I thought you were going to help me take a bath?”
Song Ci replied in a low voice, “I’ll do that later.”
Song Yujin could tell that Song Ci was feeling depressed. He reached out and stroked her head again.
“Be good. Let’s not see that man again.”
Upon hearing that, Song Ci’s heart ached. She shook her head silently.
‘This child is worried about me at a time like this.’
After a while, Song Ci said, “It has nothing to do with that man.”
Song Ci looked at Song Yujin.
“Then why are you so upset?”
Song Yujin did not understand.
