Lu Suo nodded.
Song Ci continued, “Regardless, you’re really smart. You kept Zhu Yi afloat by using an inner tube. If something like this ever happens again, remember to make use of your surroundings. Don’t just jump in immediately. It’s okay to help others, but you must prioritize your own safety.”
Lu Suo saw Song Ci’s serious expression. She was probably very worried about him. So, he quickly nodded and said, “I will.”
“I feel more relieved now.”
Song Ci smiled.
“Your father and I are very fond of you. Even if you have done something wrong, just inform us. If you’re too embarrassed to let your father know, you can only tell me. Don’t act like Zhu Yi and accuse others. Lying is also bad. Do you understand?”
Lu Suo was stunned by these words. Obviously, lying and accusing others were bad. However, how could he let them know his true nature? Hence, he merely smiled and said, “Yes.”
Song Ci did not know how Lu Suo interpreted her words, but she could not make it too obvious since the truth was vague. Lu Suo was far more sensitive and profound than some adults. If she said too much, he would become suspicious.
Lu Suo was still young, thus, Song Ci hoped that he could change.
After Lu Suo was done with his bath, Song Ci carried him to the bed. Then, she went to Song Yujin’s bedroom.
Lu Suo looked at the closed door and tilted his head.
Would Song Yujin tell Song Ci the truth? What if she found out that he was not a good kid at all? Lu Suo frowned. He did not want Song Ci or Lu Gan to know. They would probably be disappointed with him. This thought really annoyed him. Song Yujin would keep his word, right?
Lu Suo sighed again. Due to his carelessness, he was exposed to Song Yujin.
Meanwhile, Song Yujin had just finished reading his book. He closed it and followed his sister to take a shower.
Song Ci asked, “Is Little Suo really innocent?”
“You don’t believe him?”
Song Yujin stared at her.
Song Ci nodded honestly.
“We haven’t spent much time together. Moreover, I’ve heard some rumors before. I had always worried that he would bully you.”
It was true. Song Ci had always reminded Song Yujin to be careful. After this incident, it seemed that Song Ci’s worries were warranted.
Despite that, Song Yujin had made a promise to Lu Suo. He would not go back on his words.
For a moment, Song Yujin felt a little guilty. At first, he thought that Song Ci would not suspect Lu Suo. Therefore, when Lu Suo came to look for him, he promised not to tell anyone. Besides, he was not a talkative person. There was no need for them to be in turmoil.
Unexpectedly, Song Ci did have her doubts. She just did not say it out loud.
Song Yujin lowered his head and stayed quiet.
Song Ci looked at him and asked in a gentle tone, “Did Zhu Yi wrong him?”
“Yes.”
Song Yujin replied calmly.
Nonetheless, Song Ci could see a trace of guilt in his eyes. She thought to herself, ‘Why is he feeling guilty? Did he lie to me? For what reason?’
Suddenly, Song Ci remembered that Lu Suo was sitting next to Song Yujin earlier. She sighed and continued to rub his body.
Shortly after, she gently coaxed, “Yujin, if someone was pushed into the water and you saw everything, what would you do?”
Song Yujin raised his head and looked into Song Ci’s eyes. She probably knew something.
In the end, Song Yujin concluded that Song Ci did not know the truth. Otherwise, she would not be this calm. After all, his sister had a frantic personality.
“I wouldn’t do anything.”
Song Yujin was as calm as ever.
Song Ci asked doubtfully, “Don’t you think the perpetrator is wrong?”
“What does it have to do with me? Besides, it’s not like the perpetrator will listen to what I have to say.”
Song Yujin gave his own reasoning.
