Lu Sinian is no longer surprised by their clinginess, but Ji Niandong’s expression was just too strange. She put down her backpack off her shoulder and asked curiously, "Why are you both looking at me like that? Did you do something guilty?"
While kids can be mischievously clever, they aren’t master actors. Ji Niandong figured he hadn’t caught them, so she breathed a sigh of relief, got up from Lu Beichen’s embrace, and said with an awkward smile, "No way, Sister Tongtong just finds it amazing how Nian Nian appears like magic again, without making a sound!"
"I just came in!" He rolled his eyes, ignoring their closeness, "Can’t stand you guys!"
He grabbed his backpack and headed straight to his room, his demeanor turning rather aloof!
Lu Beichen also let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief, and Ji Niandong playfully punched him, "Never do this again in the future!"
"Okay." Lu Beichen nodded but added, "Even having one is too annoying, shouldn’t have more!"
"Is this the time to talk about that?" Ji Niandong blushed from his offhand comment, turned around, and started picking vegetables.
Lu Beichen directly took them from her hands, "Let me, you just recovered from a fever, go rest!"
"Now you remember I’m a recovering patient!" She glared at him, dropped what she was holding, and walked towards Lu Sinian’s room.
Lu Beichen watched her stride away and shook his head with a smile. Her temper really is getting worse!
"Nian Nian?" Ji Niandong knocked and entered, seeing Lu Sinian sitting upright at his desk doing homework. He hardly needed to think, writing so quickly that she was a bit surprised. Standing behind him, she carefully looked over his work, which was completely correct. No wonder he skipped to the second grade at five!
Oh, wait, now he’s in third grade!
"Sister Tongtong, when you stand behind me, I get distracted!" Little Bun said with a serious face, completely making things up. Get full chapters from novel⁂fire.net
Ji Niandong then awkwardly cleared her throat, "I just wanted to come and chat with you!"
She noticed that the child didn’t cling to her as much as before. Although he still showed a lot of care, he wasn’t as sticky as when he first feared Lu Beichen would take her away!
Little Bun continued his head-down focus on the homework, "Sister Tong, give me two minutes to finish up! Sigh, I don’t even want to do this simple test, but for the teacher’s pride, I reluctantly play the good student. Otherwise, people might think I’m only great because I’m Lu Beichen’s son, but I’m amazing all on my own!"
Yes, he definitely has this confidence. Ji Niandong swallowed nervously, then sat quietly on the bed waiting for him.
Sure enough, two minutes exactly, without a second off!
Little Bun turned his chair to face her, then looked at her happily and curiously, "Sister Tongtong, what do you want to tell me?"
After he finished speaking, he slipped off the chair, climbed onto the bed, sat next to Ji Niandong, and leaned into her embrace, "Sister Tongtong, have you missed me after filming for all these days?"
He still sticks to her so much, maybe she just overthought it, not disturbing her and Lu Beichen, maybe he really has grown sensible!
Ji Niandong smilingly patted his head, pulling him into her arms, gently rocking him back and forth, "Of course, Sister Tongtong missed you a lot!"
Little Bun’s face suddenly lifted to look at her, his dark eyes shining, "Sister Tongtong, you must believe me. I really like you, too bad I can’t marry you!"
Ji Niandong chuckled, "Your little head is full of nonsense!" She pursed her lips, hesitated a moment, and asked, "Nian Nian... do you think I’d make a good mom?"
