“Because she’s family too! It’s just that she didn’t grow up with us.
“And it’s precisely because she didn’t grow up with us that we should give her more love and care to make up for whatever she lacked all these years, and not doubt and resist her, or even chase her out. What do you think?”
“So… Second Brother, you came here especially to speak on that little sister’s behalf?”
Little No. 5 lowered his head slightly and pouted. He still wasn’t convinced.
A certain second brother paused for a moment, probably because he hadn’t expected to speak so much reason himself. Finding it funny, the corners of his lips curled up. He looked at his little brother No. 5, who was squirming around, and said, “Why? In your eyes, is your second brother the kind of person who will take sides without even clarifying the truth?”
“O- of course not!”
Little Lu No. 5 hurriedly denied it.
His second brother had been the most principled and fair person since he was young!
Even when his big brother was unreasonable and wanted to beat people up sometimes, it was always his second brother who pulled him back.
There was probably no one in the world who was more upright than his second brother!
So, that little sister really…
Little No. 5 secretly wrung his fingers together, like he had nowhere to put them. His handsome face was still tense, but he still wasn’t convinced.
“Alright, I have to go back and wrap up that case; it just so happens I’ve thought of a new direction for the investigation.
“Don’t always eat instant noodles. Even if it’s fine with you, I don’t think this little Ergou can take it.”
Lu Jingfan got up and patted little No. 5 on the shoulder with his big palm. He picked up the depressed Little Tyrant Dragon from Lu Xingran’s loose grip. A certain second brother reminded him sternly, “Take good care of it! Don’t you like it a lot? If you do, properly look up how to raise a dog. Hopefully the next time I see it, little Ergou has put on a little more weight.”
“Huh?”
Little Lu No. 5 was very surprised. “Is there a special way to raise a dog? Isn’t it just like this?”
“How can you raise it like this?
“Do you think they’re all like Wanwan?”
A certain second brother was inexplicably annoyed, and scolded loudly, “Wanwan was an adult dog that could hunt on its own in the wilderness, so it didn’t need you to care for it. It could even catch prey for you, but what about little Ergou?
“It’s still so small, and needs nutrition. What do you usually feed it?”
“I, just, instant noodles?”
Little Lu No. 5 inexplicably felt guilty.
A certain second brother immediately asked, “It ate everything?”
“Just… just a little?”
Little No. 5 gestured with his hand, and felt his face hurt.
A certain second brother was really speechless, and retorted, “And you didn’t think it was strange?”
Little No. 5 answered, “I, I thought it only eats a little because it’s small.”
Look, was this human language?
No wonder little Ergou insisted on following his little sister!
A certain second brother didn’t want to speak anymore. He took out a black card from his bag. “Here, remember to buy better food, especially for little Ergou!” Otherwise, if your dog runs off to your little sister in the future, don’t come crying to me!
“School will be starting tomorrow, right?
“Take good care of yourself. Meeting with your friends is important, but so is family. Do you understand?”
“I got it.”
Little Lu No. 5 was very obedient. He took Second Brother’s card weakly and put it away. Then, he took little Ergou with him to see Second Brother off.
Looking at the puppy, who had been feeling especially down since it came back and only knew how to sleep, little Lu No. 5 smoothed its fur guiltily and said, “Little Ergou, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault…”
Wait, little Ergou?
