623 You Also Need to Consider Yourself
If everything went smoothly next year, Song Ci should be able to win an award. It would mean she had a firm foothold in the industry and could reduce her productions appropriately to only two shows a year.
Song Yujin blinked and said softly, “You’re not just a mother. You should be able to consider yourself too and do what you want to do, not just take care and accompany me.” Although children were young and inexperienced, they had their own thoughts. There were people they liked and disliked. As an adult, Song Ci must be the same too. She was his mother, but she was also Song Ci.
“You can do what you like. Not every child needs someone to accompany them every day. Just like how not every child likes to make friends. You said before that it’s okay I’m like this. Well, that applies to you too.” Song Yujin’s voice was soft, his eyes gentle, and his tone unconsciously carried trust and love.
“No matter what, you are the best mom. I love you very much, and I know you love me as well.” As he spoke, he reached out his hand hidden under the blanket and touched Song Ci’s lowered head.
It was just like how Song Ci used to comfort him.
Song Ci’s eyes stung as she watched Song Yujin console her. When Song Yujin retracted his hand, she held onto his small hand tightly.
“Yujin.”
Song Ci’s voice was even more choked up now. He was clearly still such a young child, but he gave her so much warmth.
“I love you the most. What I want the most is to be by your side after work and watch you grow up healthy and happy. Ever since I came here, the happiest thing I did was meet you and your Uncle Lu. You were the one who made me feel it was a blessing to have a child and that I could be responsible for you. Mommy will always love you and keep you in my heart. No matter where I am, you will always be my most beloved baby. Whenever I think of you, I always feel very happy.”
Song Yujin listened quietly.
Song Ci said with a smile. “I will cherish the dragon you gave me forever. Whenever I see it, it’ll be like seeing you.”
That was what Song Yujin had originally wanted. However, he was caught off guard by Song Ci’s words and lowered his gaze, feeling a little happy and a little shy.
Song Ci ruffled his hair again and tucked his hand back under the blanket. She said gently, “Go to sleep. I will send you to school tomorrow morning. After that, I will go to work.”
“Goodnight, Mom,” Song Yujin said obediently.
“Good night, baby.” Song Ci planted another kiss on Song Yujin’s forehead. Suppressing her emotions, she got up and walked out. She did not expect Song Yujin to say something like that. This child was always so thorough that he was not like a child.
Would he remember every word said and put himself in one’s shoes and accept it? Perhaps not. He was only a child, after all. It was normal for an adult to tolerate a child. A child was a child because there were many things they did not understand. However, Song Yujin learned to be tolerant early on.
Song Ci was gratified and proud. She looked down at the dragon charm on the keyring, feeling proud.
The next morning, Song Ci and Lu Gan sent her two precious children, Song Yujin and Lu Suo, to school. Then, he watched as Song Ci got into Yang Haoran’s van and decided he could not bear to leave Song Ci. Seeing that the journey was not too far, he got into the car and accompanied Song Ci to the hotel booked by the production team.
Song Ci did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Hurry and go. Don’t you have work today? This round trip will waste a lot of time.”
“I’ll send you off and take a look at your shooting environment while I’m there,” Lu Gan said. As for work, he would write it off as a vacation. After all, he had to send his wife to work today.
Song Ci had no choice but to let Lu Gan follow.
Yang Haoran watched silently. ‘Sigh. This is too clingy.’
As Song Ci’s filming location was in a village, Qian Wu had booked her a hotel room in a nearby town. Although it was the most luxurious hotel in town, it was still a little shabby compared to hotels Lu Gan often stayed in.
Lu Gan looked on and could not help but feel sorry for his wife.
Song Ci, on the other hand, was very calm. “This will do. Everything I’d need is here. I think it’s not bad.”
Lu Gan sighed and put his arm around her shoulders. “I’ll bring you something next time. Otherwise, you’ll feel too aggrieved.”
“No need. I’m not pampered. It’ll be fine.” Song Ci really did feel good about the room. After all, this was not the worst she had to endure. When she was an extra, she even had to sleep in a tent before.
