Lu Gan did not forget his promise to Song Yujin. They were supposed to visit a flower shop. However, Lu Gan did not expect the little boy to be so proactive on this matter. He planned to take both children out after lunch, but Song Yujin was ready to set off early in the morning.
“We’ll go after lunch, okay?”
Lu Gan said with a smile.
“Thank you.”
Song Yujin nodded obediently.
Lu Gan teased him, “Have you always been so polite?”
Song Yujin wanted to be polite, but Song Ci would not let him.
Lu Gan patted Song Yujin’s head.
“I’m your brother-in-law. There’s no need to be so polite. We’re family.”
Song Yujin thought to himself, ‘Would he feel hurt if I disagree?’
Hence, he said in a low voice, “I know.”
It was lunchtime.
Lu Gan was heading to the dining room. On the way, he happened to see Song Yujin leaving his bedroom.
‘This child is really anxious. He came out right on time.’
Lu Gan did not say anything and the both of them stopped by Lu Suo’s room.
Lu Suo was lying on the bed, playing with his tablet.
Lu Gan could not help but lecture, “Don’t play while lying down. Your eyes will be damaged.”
“I understand…”
Lu Suo quickly nodded and got off the bed. Then, he looked at Lu Gan and Song Yujin.
“Why are the both of you here?”
Lu Gan glanced at Song Yujin helplessly.
Lu Suo was a smart boy. He could tell something was up.
‘Are they hiding something? No, that’s impossible!’
Thus, he asked, “Is there something you’d like to tell me?”
Lu Gan was surprised by Lu Suo’s level of awareness.
“Yujin wants to buy some flowers. We’re going after lunch. Do you want to come?”
At first, Lu Suo was shocked. There was really something between them! Subsequently, he was confused.
“There are flowers in the yard. Why are we buying more?”
Lu Suo looked at Song Yujin, but the latter did not say anything.
Lu Suo added, “Well, it doesn’t matter. I want to tag along.”
He wanted to see what flowers Song Yujin planned to buy. Another cactus? Was he giving it to someone?
Those thoughts made Lu Suo unhappy. How could Song Yujin betray him like this?! He glared at Song Yujin angrily.
Lu Suo may be smart, but he was still a child. Before Song Yujin’s arrival, he did not have any authentic peers. Anyway, things had changed. Song Yujin was supposed to be his ally, so how could he favor someone else?!
Song Yujin looked at Lu Suo, who was pouting.
‘He’s being childish again…’
Meanwhile, Lu Gan looked at Lu Suo’s angry face and smiled.
Lu Suo was not amused.
‘He’s definitely giving a cactus to someone else!’
Since they needed to wash their hands before lunch, Lu Suo pulled Song Yujin into the bathroom.
Lu Gan had no idea what Lu Suo was thinking. He just felt the two children were being really cute.
‘Aww… They’re going to the bathroom together while holding hands.’
In the bathroom, Lu Suo began interrogating Song Yujin.
“Who are you buying flowers for?”
Song Yujin washed his hands calmly and ignored him.
Lu Suo said unhappily, “You’re being sneaky! Hmph!”
Song Yujin felt helpless.
“I’m not.”
After all, he already told Lu Gan the truth.
“You’re being sneaky if you don’t tell me. At any rate, you can’t give flowers to someone else!”
Song Yujin reminded him, “Wash your hands.”
Lu Suo refused to let him change the topic.
“Promise me.”
Song Yujin stared at Lu Suo.
“No!”
Lu Suo’s cheeks puffed up again due to anger.
Song Yujin reached out to poke Lu Suo’s face. It looked really soft.
Lu Suo avoided his hand and said stubbornly, “You can’t give my cactus to someone else! It’s mine!”
Song Yujin felt that Lu Suo was really overbearing. The latter was also deceitful, duplicitous, vicious, and ruthless. Plus, he liked to eavesdrop. How could a person have so many shortcomings?
“I’m getting another gift. I won’t take yours.”
