“I’m leaving after the New Year. It’s inconvenient to bring such a valuable thing with me, so I’ll leave it with you for safekeeping.”
Rong Si had finally found an excuse that he thought was reasonable. This time, surely, she would not reject it!
Su Jiu, however, still felt that this was unreasonable, but seeing that the little villain had no intention of taking back the item, she could only reply, “It’s just safekeeping. You will take it back later, right?”
I won’t.
Rong Si muttered in his heart, but what he said was, “Maybe.”
What does he mean by maybe? Such an ambiguous answer…
Helpless, Su Jiu decided not to argue with him anymore. “Alright, alright. I’ll keep it for you. But you have to remember to take it back. If I lose it, I won’t compensate you.”
At this point, Rong Si couldn’t help but say, “Don’t lose it.”
Of course, Su Jiu would take good care of the jade pendant. She had just said that on purpose. Seeing the little villain’s nervous expression, she laughed. “I know, I know. I won’t lose it. I’ll definitely take good care of it for you. But you really can’t forget it. Otherwise, it might really become mine after some time. That would be a shame, wouldn’t it?”
“That will be alright if it’s you.”
Su Jiu saw the serious expression on the little villain’s face and how he did not seem to be joking at all. It made her laugh. She felt that these words sounded quite pleasant to her ears.
It’s a good thing that he’s still a ten-year-old kid. If he said such things to me as a grown-up, I would definitely overthink it.
Su Jiu was still determined to be a motherly type of fan and did not waver. Although, she had not expected that Rong Si, who was still a child in her eyes, was much more mature than she had imagined.
He knew everything he shouldn’t be thinking of at his age.

Even though the little villain did not like to talk, his and Auntie Song’s presence this year made Su Jiu feel especially lively and her mood exceptionally good.
Eating New Year’s Eve dinner with her child, watching the Spring Festival Gala on the sofa together, and setting off fireworks together… these activities felt very fulfilling. It was as if a corner of her heart was content.
Especially when they were setting off fireworks. There had been a firework that she could not light up. Her child had helped her and immediately lit it up. The moment the firework had burst out, Su Jiu had flinched backward in shock. Unexpectedly, Rong Si had been right behind her. She had hit his chin and cried out in pain.
It really hurt a bit.
Her face scrunched up as she rubbed her forehead. Suddenly, she heard a low laugh from above her head.
Eh?!
As if she had discovered a new continent, Su Jiu raised her head in shock and saw Rong Si looking at her with his head lowered. The corners of his lips were curled up slightly, and his dark eyes were filled with smiles.
Oh my god, the baby’s smiling!
The smile that came from the bottom of his heart was simply indescribably beautiful and soul-stirring.
As a result, Su Jiu was so mesmerized that she threw the embarrassing incident to the back of her mind. She excitedly said, “Big Brother, you smiled! You look really good when you smile. You must promise me that no matter where you are, you must maintain a good mood and smile more!”
She wanted him to smile more. She had already said this many times, but she still would not get tired of saying it.
Does she really want me to be happy so much?
But I also feel the same way.
I also hope that she will be happy every day, carefree and able to maintain this pure happiness.
Su Jiu happily asked her father to take photos of her and the little villain.. Su Shengjing, who saw the little brat standing beside his daughter, unwillingly took a few photos.
