Chapter 177 - Yours Is an Extra
Song Ci felt as if her heart was about to burst with joy. She could not help but laugh.
“I love it. Thank you. I’ll make sure to take good care of this cactus.”
Song Yujin was delighted to see Song Ci’s reaction. Her smile was beautiful.
“You’re welcome.”
Song Yujin said softly.
Suddenly, Song Yujin’s heart began thumping. He felt a little embarrassed and quickly lowered his head. Then, he pulled out a book from his backpack. At that moment, Song Yujin just wanted to be occupied.
Song Ci noticed that Song Yujin’s face was a little red. Clearly, he was shy. She could not help but laugh again.
Anyway, Song Ci did not tease Song Yujin. She just took her cactus and quietly left Song Yujin’s room.
Song Yujin raised his head after Song Ci was gone. He thought about the incident that happened at school and laughed. It was a strange feeling that made Song Yujin’s heart surge with excitement.
Meanwhile, Lu Gan was in his study room. All of a sudden, he heard a knock on the door. The next second, Song Ci appeared in front of him.
“Why are you back?”
Lu Gan was surprised. When he visited Song Ci yesterday, she was very busy. Did something happen?
Song Ci smiled and walked up to Lu Gan with the pot of cactus in her hand. She said proudly, “Look, isn’t this nice? Yujin gave it to me.”
Lu Gan also said proudly, “Yujin gave me one too.”
Song Ci thought Song Yujin had given a gift to her specifically but in the end, it was a family bargain.
Lu Gan smiled and said, “After you left for filming, Yujin asked me to take him to a flower shop. I agreed and he also bought me a cactus.”
Song Ci did not want to be outdone.
“Yours is probably an extra. Yujin is so sensible. He knew it was not right to leave you out.”
Lu Gan could not deny this. It was very likely the truth.
“That’s not important. It’s the thought that counts”
Song Ci asked curiously, “What does yours look like? Let me see.”
“It’s in the bedroom.”
Lu Gan moved his wheelchair towards Song Ci.
She handed the pot of cactus to him and took over the handle. Then, they left the study room.
Lu Gan asked again, “Did something happen? Why dare you back all of a sudden?”
“Something happened to Yujin at school today. The teacher called and asked me to go over, so I asked for a leave from the director. Luckily, it was approved and the director even gave me an extra day off. That’s why I’m here now.”
Song Ci explained calmly. She was no longer angry. After all, some people would not listen no matter how much you tried to reason with them.
Lu Qian asked in a cautious tone, “What happened to Yujin that requires your presence?”
Song Ci had nothing to hide, so she told Lu Gan the whole story.Finally, she asked, “Do you have any recommendations for a good school? I’m not really versed in this matter.”
Lu Gan had a dark expression on his face. He did not expect such a thing to happen.
“It isn’t Yujin’s fault. Why does he have to quit school? Yu Nan and his friends should be expelled instead!”
Song Ci replied in a composed manner, “It doesn’t matter. That school just isn’t suitable for Yujin. They won’t help him and will only hinder his future. What’s the point of staying there? Isn’t it better to go somewhere that will nurture his potential?”
“But there’s no need to drop out. I’ll ensure Yu Nan and his mother apologize to Yujin. No one will look down on him anymore.”
