Rong Si had no reason to refuse. Besides, he would be more than happy to perform for Little Jiu.
However, it had been a long time since he had played the violin, so he wasn’t sure if he was still as good as before. With this thought in mind, he suddenly became nervous. He didn’t want to perform badly in front of Little Jiu.
Rong Si secretly adjusted his breathing and quickly went through the things he had previously learned in his mind. After making sure that he had not forgotten all of that, he placed the violin on his shoulder. Under Su Jiu’s expectant gaze, he started to play.
The little villain played a lively tune with his head slightly lowered. His long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes. His posture as he played the violin was elegant and noble, just like a little prince.
Su Jiu could not shift her gaze away. The little villain is too handsome!
How could there be such a handsome child?
Even after the song ended, Su Jiu was still savoring its aftertaste. She came back to her senses only after a few seconds, then praised him generously. “It’s really nice. Big Brother is so awesome!”
Rong Si heaved a sigh of relief when he received her praise.
Song Wanqiu saw that her son was holding the violin lovingly, then she saw the logo on it. She could tell that the violin was from an expensive brand, so she apologetically asked, “This violin is very expensive, right?”
Su Jiu immediately shook her head. “It’s not expensive. As long as you like it!”
Rong Si pursed his lips.
He had bought a violin before, so he was very clear about the price of this violin. It cost at least ten thousand yuan. He had prepared a New Year’s gift for Little Jiu, but… after comparing it with the gift she had given him, he suddenly couldn’t bring himself to give it to her.
Although Song Wanqiu hadn’t expected Su Jiu to give Rong Si a present, she had also prepared a New Year gift for the little girl.
She took out a knitted scarf from her room and smiled at Su Jiu. “Little Jiu, this is the scarf Auntie knitted for you. Do you like it?”
Su Jiu vigorously nodded. “Yes, yes!”
Song Wanqiu’s smile deepened. “Then let Auntie put it on for you to see.”
As she spoke, she wound the scarf around the little girl’s neck. The scarf was a festive red color. The little girl’s skin was white, and the two colors formed a stark contrast, making Su Jiu’s face look rosy and adorable.
Song Wanqiu couldn’t help but pat the little girl’s head like Sheng Tianci had done earlier. “Little Jiu is so cute.”
“Auntie is so beautiful!” The little girl praised her as well. She looked down at the scarf around her neck and happily said, “Auntie, Big Brother, it’s very late now. Daddy and I will go home first!”
As she held Su Shengjing’s hand and turned around, Rong Si suddenly called out to her, “Wait.”
Huh?
Su Jiu turned around to look at him.
“I have a gift for you too.” The little villain looked a little uncomfortable as he hurried to his room.
When he came out, he was holding a square box with a layer of pink wrapping paper on it.
Rong Si placed the box in front of Su Jiu and avoided her eyes. He seemed embarrassed to look at her. Lowering his voice, he said, “I made this myself. Here.”
When he said this, he felt very nervous.
The gift he gave her was just a handmade gift that was not worth much. He wondered if Little Jiu would mind it.
She had given him such an expensive violin, yet he gave her such a cheap thing. No matter what, it was her loss.
On second thought, he did owe her a lot.
But with his current condition, he could not return any of that. He could only wait until he grew up, then return her kindness to her in double.
