491 Nightmare
“I know. Nothing will come between me and my uncle, but the story about Su Xing is true. His classmates said he is the son of a murderer and he did not refute them! He deserves to die!”
Lu Suo looked like he was about to explode again.
Song Yujin was silent. After a long time, he said, “Don’t go looking for him anymore.”
Lu Suo did not reply.
Song Yujin tried to rephrase his sentence.
“If you really want to go, I’ll come along. Just don’t do anything by yourself.”
“Okay.”
Lu Suo’s emotions were all jumbled up. He could not kill Su Xing or forgive him. The bullying did not bring any joy either.
Shortly after, the school bell rang.
As usual, Lu Suo and Song Yujin got into Zhang Huan’s car and went home.
Lu Suo was genuinely upset, but he burst into laughter upon seeing Lu Gan. No one could tell how much burden he was carrying.
The children went to Song Yujin’s bedroom.
“I’ll tell mom. Maybe we can transfer schools.”
Song Yujin knew that Lu Suo would not want Lu Gan to find out. Hence, Song Ci was the only option.
Lu Suo shook his head. He did not want Song Ci to know as well. All he wanted was for Su Xing to leave his sight.
“Let me think about it.”
Song Yujin agreed. Since Lu Suo had already promised not to kill Su Xing, nothing drastic should happen. Moreover, he would keep an eye on him.
“Be good.”
Song Yujin patted Lu Suo’s head.
Lu Suo hugged Song Yujin. The former was clearly filled with sadness.
That night, Song Yujin did not force Lu Suo to study. Instead, they watched cartoons and slept together.
Lu Suo closed his eyes. In his dream, he was trying to murder Su Xing by running him over.
Around three in the morning, Lu Suo woke up. His heart was beating rapidly.
Song Yujin was also awoken by Lu Suo’s movements. He turned on the night light and saw that Lu Suo was crying.
Tears kept flowing down Lu Suo’s face. Song Yujin caressed his head gently and hugged him.
Lu Suo leaned into Song Yujin’s arms. He could not stop crying.
Before Lu Suo could hit Su Xing in his dream, the latter suddenly turned into Lu Gan. Lu Suo tried to stop the car but failed. This scared him into waking up.
Song Yujin asked, “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
Lu Suo nodded. He was aggrieved and frightened.
Song Yujin comforted him, “Don’t be afraid. Dreams aren’t real.”
Lu Suo grabbed him without any intention of letting go.
Song Yujin continued to coax Lu Suo for a little longer. Then, he said, “Let’s go back to sleep. I’ll hold you.”
Lu Suo raised his head and looked at Song Yujin. His eyes were still red.
“Big brother, you’ll always be by my side, right?”
Song Yujin nodded.
“Yes.”
“Will I always be your favorite person?”
Song Yujin thought for a moment and gave an honest answer, “Not counting mom.”
Lu Suo could not help but laugh.
“I expected that much.”
Song Yujin said softly, “Mommy and daddy are very fond of you too.”
The corners of Lu Suo’s lips subconsciously curled up.
“Let me tell you a story.”
Song Yujin had never told Lu Suo a story before.
“What story?”
