528 Living for Myself
Lu Gan had a rare good dream. He dreamed of his young, handsome, and bright brother.
Lu Heng stood in front of Lu Gan and said with a smile, “You’ve done well. Now, it’s time to move on. Go and live your own life.”
Lu Gan shook his head and looked at his brother with reluctance.
Lu Heng patted Lu Gan’s head.
“If there’s a chance, I’ll be your big brother again in the next life. I’ll make sure to take care of you until you’re old.”
Lu Gan shook his head again. His eyes were filled with sadness and pain. He did not want Lu Heng to leave.
“You don’t look handsome like this. Chin up. You’re already an adult.”
After saying that, Lu Heng turned around.
“I’m leaving now.”
Lu Heng waved his hand and walked away confidently.
Lu Gan’s eyes were glued to him. At the end of the road, Fang Rui was waiting. She smiled as sweetly as ever.
“Lu Gan, take care of Lu Suo for me and your brother!”
Lu Gan replied in a low voice, “Alright. I’ll definitely raise him well.”
“Thank you.”
Fang Rui held Lu Heng’s hand and they walked away together happily.
At this moment, Lu Gan felt like an abandoned child. Tears began flowing down his cheeks. He could not control them at all.
‘My big brother is gone…’
Lu Gan lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
‘I said I wouldn’t cry!’
Lu Gan raised his hand and covered his eyes, not wanting anyone to see him in this state.
‘I must be strong.’
However, Lu Gan’s cries still seeped out. They sounded painful and sad.
‘I’ll never see my big brother again…’
Lu Gan stood under the sun alone. He could not stop crying.
After a while, Lu Gan wiped his tears and turned in the other direction. He still had his rationality.
‘I must go back to Song Ci… She’s waiting for me.’
Lu Gan waved in Lu Heng’s direction with his back facing him.
“Farewell, big brother.”
Lu Gan had made up his mind to live for himself.
Back in reality, Lu Gan slowly opened his eyes. It was already nighttime.
‘This room is so dark.’
Lu Gan turned on the lights and saw Song Ci leaning on his shoulder with her eyes closed. He raised his hand and touched her face.
Song Ci opened her eyes in a daze.
Lu Gan quickly retracted his hand.
“I’m sorry. Did I wake you up?”
Song Ci finally felt at ease after seeing that Lu Gan had woken up.
“It’s fine. You’re finally awake. I’ll ask Mary to make some shrimp congee. You must be starving.”
Lu Gan shook his head. For some reason, he did not feel hungry at all. He was only a little depressed.
‘I need to get myself together. I’ve already made Song Ci worry enough.’
Lu Gan asked, “Why did you come back so suddenly?”
