“Are you willing to do anything I ask you to do?” the little girl righteously asked.
Rong Si expected that a little girl like Su Jiu wouldn’t be able to make any excessive requests, so he nodded. “Yes.”
“Alright, let me think about it…” Su Jiu contemplated the idea. After a few seconds, her eyes lit up, and she smiled slyly.” I’ve thought of it now! Big Brother, you’re done for! ”
I’m done for?
Rong Si suddenly became nervous. Would she ask for too much?
Even so, he still had to do his best.
If he made Little Jiu unhappy, he would be responsible for comforting her.
Su Jiu faced him and seriously said, “Big Brother, what I want you to do is be happy every day! Most importantly, you have to be a good person!”
Rong Si was stunned again.
He had thought that she would really ask for too much, but it turned out to be this.
She wanted him to be happy and be a good person.
No one had ever said such things to him before; Rong Si suddenly felt a sense of warmth in his heart. However, although these two things that she wanted sounded very simple, it was very difficult for him.
He couldn’t just be happy every day. As for being a good person… he felt that he couldn’t do it either.
Rong Si knew that there was a dark corner in the depths of his heart that often gave rise to dark thoughts. He was studying hard now, wanting to become stronger. There was a reason for it. Part of it was that he wanted to be qualified to continue being friends with Little Jiu, but the other part was that he wanted revenge.
One day he would be able to step all over Rong Cheng and everyone who had bullied him and make them regret what they had done! But he could do that only if he was strong enough.
“Big Brother, can you?” The little girl looked at him eagerly.
Rong Si pursed his lips and paused for two seconds before saying, “I’ll try.”
He didn’t know if he could be a good person when he grew up, but… for her sake, he would try.
“Okay, I’ll be waiting!” The little girl gave him a bright smile and patted his head as if she were petting a big dog.
“Oh right, Big Brother, you haven’t told me when your birthday is!” Su Jiu suddenly remembered.
Unable to change her mind, Rong Si could only tell her his birthday.
Su Jiu thought about it. There’s still more than a month left. When that time comes, I’ll celebrate the little villain’s birthday!
***
After waiting for more than an hour, Su Jiu felt sleepy. She was only a four-year-old kid after all. Unable to wait for Su Shengjing to come back, she fell asleep on the sofa.
Rong Si carefully shifted her onto his lap and let her rest her head on his lap so that she could sleep more comfortably. He even took off his jacket to cover her.
Then, he looked down at her sleeping face.
Little Jiu looks so adorable when she’s asleep.
It made people think of the little princess and little angel in that fairytale. It was as if they could not get enough of them no matter how much they looked at them.
When Su Shengjing returned, he saw that Su Jiu had fallen asleep on the little brat’s lap and was wearing his coat.
Meanwhile, the brat himself had fallen asleep on the sofa. Without his coat, he looked very thin.
Tsk, this brat.
He had truly done what he had promised to do: to take good care of Su Jiu.
Once again, Su Shengjing felt that this brat was not so bad. In any case, as long as he treated Su Jiu sincerely and did not pester her, Su Shengjing would not blacklist him!
After some time, Rong Si groggily woke up and realized that both he and Little Jiu were covered with an adult’s coat. He was stunned when he recognized that the coat belonged to Su Shengjing. Little Jiu’s father usually did not look at him directly as if he did not like him. Yet, he had covered him with a coat. Does this mean he does not dislike me so much?
“You’re awake?” Su Shengjing was sitting on an armchair by the side. Holding a script in his hand, he nonchalantly glanced at him.
Rong Si nodded. “Thank you, Uncle.”
He finally understood that if he wanted to continue being good friends with Little Jiu, he had to get past Uncle Su. It was necessary for him to express goodwill. Although he had never bothered to please anyone, he really cherished Little Jiu as a friend.
He had already made an exception for her. What did it matter if he did it again?
Su Shengjing was speechless.
Heh, this brat is quite sensible. He knows how to behave in front of me.
He’s good. At least, he’s more likable than the other boys.
Just as he was thinking this, Su Jiu woke up as well. She opened her sleepy eyes and mumbled, “Daddy…”
Hearing her call out to him, Su Shengjing immediately put down the script in his hands, stood up, and walked over to her. He reached out and picked her up, letting her lie in his arms. “Is Baby awake? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?”
His tone was completely different from before. It was unbelievably gentle.
The little girl hugged his neck and sullenly said, “I miss Daddy so much that I don’t want to eat anymore.”
Su Shengjing’s heart melted when he saw her acting like this. He smiled and rubbed her forehead. “Daddy misses you too. Didn’t I come back here right after filming? It’s Daddy’s fault for making Baby wait so long.”
Rong Si’s eyes darkened as he watched him coax the little girl gently.
He wondered if Rong Cheng was like this too when coaxing his daughter.
Su Shengjing turned his head to look at him. “Kid, let’s go and eat together.”
Rong Si regained his senses and quickly hid the emotions in his eyes. He nodded and followed them.
At around eight in the evening, Su Shengjing still had a scene to shoot and was currently acting with the female lead on the set. Rong Si borrowed his phone and walked to a ginkgo tree outside, where many leaves had fallen. He hid behind the tree trunk and called Song Wanqiu.
The call was quickly connected, and Song Wanqiu’s gentle voice came from the other end. “Hello? Ah Si, how are you today? Are you happy?”
“Yes, I’m happy,” Rong Si whispered. “How about you, Mom?”
“To be honest, I’m not used to your absence.” Song Wanqiu laughed. “But if you’re happy, I’m happy.”
Knowing that his mother missed him, Rong Si’s heart felt heavy. He missed his mother too.
“I’ll be back in a few days.”
“It’s okay. It’s rare to have the chance to go out. Have fun with Uncle Su and Little Jiu. Just call Mommy every day to tell her that you’re safe. Otherwise, Mommy will be worried.”
“Yes, I will,” Rong Si replied. After chatting with his mother for a while more, he suddenly heard a loud noise from the other end of the phone.
Then, he heard his mother’s nervous voice. “Ah Si, there’s a customer in the shop. I’ll call you later, okay? Remember to be good and listen to Uncle Su. We’ll talk later.”
Before he could reply, the line went dead. All that was left was the sound of the dial tone.
Rong Si frowned. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
