Song Yujin asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
“Yujin, guess what place you’ve gotten?”
Lu Suo raised his hand.
“I know. He definitely got first place!”
Song Yujin replied indifferently, “That’s my guess too.”
“Can’t you act a little more surprised?”
Song Yujin was puzzled.
“Why?”
Lu Gan could not help but laugh.
“Our Yujin is so amazing. It’s no surprise that he got first place.”
Song Yujin nodded. To him, placing first was easy. Not getting it would be more of a shock.
Song Ci pinched Song Yujin’s face.
“You’ve also got full marks! No one can compete with you!”
Song Yujin’s face was a little red from being pinched. He replied with a simple, “I see.”
On the other hand, Lu Suo was ecstatic.
“Little uncle, you’re so awesome!”
“The teacher even praised him. Other parents were asking Song Ci about his study techniques. Little Suo, you should be grateful. Listen to Yujin and keep up with your studies, understand?”
Lu Gan lectured Lu Suo. The latter immediately felt upset. He hugged Song Yujin and pouted.
“Little uncle will only study with me.”
Song Ci patted Lu Suo’s head.
“Okay.”
Lu Suo’s mood quickly recovered and he leaned his head against Song Yujin.
Subsequently, Song Ci took out Guo Ruo’s gift. She handed it to Song Yujin.
“This is for you. Your teacher hopes that you’ll keep up the good work.”
Song Yujin only replied with an apathetic “oh”.
Lu Suo said enviously, “What about me?”
Song Ci comforted him, “Only the top three students received gifts. Little Suo, keep working hard and you’ll get one in the future!”
Upon hearing that, Lu Suo felt like he had enough things. There was no need to work hard and compete with others. Hence, he just smiled sweetly.
Lu Gan did not know whether to laugh or cry. This child was too cute. He carried Lu Suo and kissed him.
‘If Lu Heng was still alive, he’d be so proud of him…’
Lu Suo was happy to receive Lu Gan’s affection.
“Daddy, can we go to the movies together?”
“Of course. Since Yujin got first place, he can choose the movie.”
Song Yujin was dumbfounded. He never paid attention to such things, thus, he had no idea what movie to choose.
In the end, Song Yujin could only look at Song Ci. She could pick instead.
Song Ci hugged him and kissed her little brother.
“Take your time to think about it. There’s no rush.”
Song Yujin nodded and thought to himself, ‘Hmm… What does Lu Suo like to watch?’
During lunch, Song Yujin looked at the book that his teacher gave him. This was something he had earned. He stared at the cover, which was a blue starry sky.
‘Song Ci would like this, right?’
With that thought in mind, he put the book away and headed to Lu Suo’s room.
Lu Suo did not go to Song Yujin’s room today because he was trying to avoid studying. Unexpectedly, Song Yujin came instead.
Instinctively, Lu Suo tried to run away. However, Song Yujin grabbed him.
“Sit down.”
Lu Suo blinked his big eyes and said, “I placed eighth…”
Song Yujin said calmly, “Is that good?”
Lu Suo fell silent. To Song Yujin, first place was nothing, let alone eighth place.
“I’m supposedly still a kindergartener…”
Lu Suo’s voice sounded pitiful and innocent.
