nThis was the second time Lu Gan had embraced her. It felt warm and a little hot. Song Ci carefully reached out and hugged his waist. The corners of her lips curled up. In a low voice, she asked, “Why did you suddenly hug me again?” There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

n

nLu Gan patted her head and replied, “I felt that you’re becoming cuter.”

n

nSong Ci was flustered, but she said stubbornly, “Oh.”

n

nAfter Lu Gan let go of Song Ci, he looked at her with a smile. Song Ci was so embarrassed that she got up and ran away.

n

nLu Gan grabbed his pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a shower. He was clearly in a much better mood.

n

nSong Ci hit her face lightly before entering Lu Suo’s room. It was pitch black inside. No one was there. She became puzzled and went to Song Yujin’s room instead.

n

nLu Suo was sitting next to Song Yujin. He was staring at the latter intently.

n

nWhat was going on?

n

n“I’ve finally found the two of you.”

n

nLu Suo turned around and smiled cutely.

n

n“I wanted to play with my little uncle.”

n

nSong Ci looked at Lu Suo and then at Song Yujin.

n

n“It’s getting late. Both of you should take a shower and head to bed. Who wants to go first?”

n

nSong Yujin was engrossed in reading. So, he said, “He can go first. I want to read a little more.”

n

nSong Ci had no objections and looked at Lu Suo. The latter helplessly followed her back to his room. Before Lu Suo left, he turned around and glanced at Song Yujin a few times.

n

nSong Yujin just kept reading. Lu Suo could not help but sigh.

n

nSong Ci filled the bathtub with hot water and placed Lu Suo in it.

n

n“Were you scared earlier?”

n

nLu Suo shook his head.

n

n“My dad will protect me.”

n

n“That’s true.”

n

nSong Ci nodded. Then, she asked casually, “Did Zhu Yi hit you?”

n

nLu Suo shook his head. He was a little worried that Song Ci would ask what Zhu Yi had said to him. That fear was immediately dispelled when Song Ci said, “I won’t ask further since you do not want us to know. Based on your reaction, his words must be really hurtful.” Song Ci continued in a gentle tone, “Little Suo, there are all kinds of people in this world. Some are rude and will not hold back their tongue. They will make you angry and upset, but you must never blame yourself. It’s their fault because they insult you, understand?”

n

nLu Suo was stunned for a moment. His heart felt warm because Song Ci was concerned about him. Moreover, she did not doubt him.

n

n“I understand.”

n

nLu Suo nodded with a smile.

n

nSong Ci looked at him and said, “Zhu Yi bullied you, yet, you still helped him. This proves that you’re a kind person.

n

nLu Suo blinked his eyes and stayed silent.

n

n“Zhu Yi really crossed the line. He even tried to blame you for his own carelessness.” Song Ci was a little worried, so she tried to probe, “Little Suo, will you still help others in the future?”

n

nLu Suo thought for a while and said, “I think it’s better to forget about this incident…”

n

nSong Ci looked at the innocence in his eyes and did not say anything else.

n

nSuddenly, Lu Suo thought of something and asked, “Auntie Song, are you going to help my father today?”

n

nSong Ci did not expect him to ask such a question.

n

n“Certainly. After all, I’m his wife.”

n

n“At any time? No matter what?”

n

n“Yes.”

n

nLu Suo was satisfied with her answer. His eyes curved as he smiled.

n

n“Auntie Song, you’re so nice.”

n

nAfter saying that, he played with the bathwater nonchalantly.

n

nHowever, Song Ci knew that Lu Suo’s words carried a lot of weight. The little boy cared about Lu Gan deeply. In the original novel, Lu Suo did not spare anyone who had hurt Lu Gan, even after twenty years!

n

nSong Ci squeezed some shower gel onto Lu Suo’s body and wondered if he had actually pushed Zhu Yi. She did not have any evidence and might be wrong, but there was a possibility because of his personality.

n

nAnyway, she rubbed his body and said, “Little Suo, you have to be careful next time. Don’t fall into the water. It’s very dangerous and you’re still only a child.”
