"Brother Ziyi, I'm going to go out and buy some things for school," Li Mingyang stood up. "If you need anything, you can tell me and I'll buy it for you."
"No need to buy anything, just sit down first." Lu Ziyi looked at him, "Your school supplies will be brought to you by my eldest brother when he comes back tonight. Lin Ze has everything."
"Mingyang, let's talk."
Li Mingyang said "oh" in a daze, then slowly sat back down.
"How do you feel after coming back here?" Lu Ziyi asked softly, "Are you happy with your life? Is there anything you're not used to?"
"No," Li Mingyang replied quickly, "I feel that every day is fulfilling and I am very happy."
"Are you tired?" Lu Ziyi asked again.
"Hmm?" Li Mingyang was stunned for a moment, but still answered obediently, "I'm not tired."
"You run back and forth between our house and Grandpa Li's house every day, and you're not tired at all?" Lu Ziyi looked at him with a smile, "It seems that your small body contains a lot of energy."
Li Mingyang immediately understood what he meant.
"It's nothing, Brother Ziyi, this is what I should do."
"Why do you think this is what you should do?" Lu Ziyi said softly, "When my eldest brother signed the substitute guardianship agreement, he didn't mean to hire you to do hard labor in our family."
Li Mingyang lowered his head and said nothing. He sat upright, looking like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting to be criticized by his parents.
Lu Ziyi stared at him for a few seconds and continued, "Actually, Xiaobao has become happier since you came back. We can all see this. Whether you treat him as a good friend or a younger brother, we have all seen how much you've taken care of Xiaobao during this time. Thank you, Mingyang."
"No, no, no, Brother Ziyi, you don't have to thank me." Li Mingyang waved his hands repeatedly as if frightened, "This is all my..."
"Are you saying this is what you should do?" Lu Ziyi smiled helplessly.
"... Mainly because Xiaobao is so well-behaved and cute," Li Mingyang quickly changed his words, "I'm very willing to pamper him and treat him well."
"That's enough, Mingyang," Lu Ziyi looked into his eyes, "You never owe us anything, and you don't need to do more."
Li Mingyang pursed his lips and murmured, "But I always feel like I should do something to help you..."
"You're so worried at such a young age." Lu Ziyi tapped his forehead lightly with his finger. "Mingyang, you don't need to feel guilty. My eldest brother didn't agree to be your substitute guardian out of sympathy, but because you have always been a good child in our hearts. You deserve this happiness."
"Live like a real child. Being happy is the most important thing."
Lu Ziyi's voice was so gentle that it could easily make people fall into it. Li Mingyang's eyes had already turned red without him noticing. At this moment, a sour feeling rushed to his forehead, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Cry!" Lu Ziyi stretched out his hands and held him in his arms. "Haven't you had a good vent since that day?"
Li Mingyang couldn't bear it any longer, so he hugged his waist tightly, buried his head in this warm embrace, and burst into tears.
All the emotions buried deep in his heart burst out in an instant, but this did not seem to be a bad thing. At least he really felt a sense of relief.
Xiaobao and the others who were eavesdropping in the bedroom couldn't help but smile at this moment, then quietly walked away from the door, took out their mobile phones and reported the progress to Lu Zixiao in their chat group.
On Monday morning, Lu Zixiao asked for two hours off from his teacher and took Li Mingyang to Experimental Primary School in advance to go through the admission procedures. Xiaobao still took the school bus with Lu Yuxuan.
Since Li Mingyang is a second-grade student, Xiaobao is not on the same floor as him. The get out of class break is short and there are many students coming and going. The teacher does not allow them to cross floors to find children from other grades. Xiaobao had to give up the idea of going upstairs and planned to find an opportunity during lunch.
The morning classes passed quickly. At lunch time, they had to line up according to their classes and then be taken to the cafeteria by their teacher to get their meals.
When they got there, there were already a lot of people in the cafeteria. Xiaobao stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look around, but he couldn't see Li Mingyang after looking for a long time. He was so anxious that his little mouth pouted involuntarily.
"Lu Yuchen, who are you looking for here?" Song Zhixia came over with a plate and asked, "Stop looking and go get your food. Several people just cut in line in front of you."
"Oh, okay." Xiaobao glanced at the team and said, "I'll go right away."
"Then I'll go and reserve a seat first," Song Zhixia said, "come find me later."
"Okay," Xiaobao replied casually, but he couldn't help glancing around.
After finishing his meal, he looked at the cafeteria which was becoming increasingly crowded and wanted to give up. However, he didn't know if his persistence paid off or what, as he had just taken two steps when he saw Li Mingyang in the crowd.
Xiaobao's eyes suddenly lit up and he walked over quickly with the plate.
"Brother Yangyang, I finally found you"
Li Mingyang suddenly heard this cheerful little voice and immediately turned his head to look over, surprised: "Xiaobao? Why are you here? Didn't the teacher say that we should sit according to class?"
"I know," Xiaobao looked at him eagerly, "but I want to eat with Brother Yangyang."
Li Mingyang quickly shook his head before he could soften his heart: "No, Xiaobao, if the teacher sees you, you will be criticized."
"No," Xiaobao stood beside him pitifully, "I want to eat with brother Yangyang."
