Lu Yuxuan burst into tears like a broken jar. Except for Lu Jiaming who suffered a little, the rest were fine.
At least this brought Lu Yuxuan back to his original form. Xiaobao felt relieved and secretly saved several photos of their brotherly love, half of which were ugly photos of the two of them with different expressions.
They returned home not too late. Normally, Lu Zixiao should still be working in the cafe at this time, but today he came back very early and even prepared dinner.
"I'm back." Lu Zixiao took off the apron around his waist and said to them softly, "Go inside and change clothes first, then come out for dinner."
"Okay, okay," Lu Yuxuan ran into the house with her schoolbag in her arms. "I'm starving. I'll give him three bowls of rice tonight!"
Although his emotions had now completely calmed down, his eyes were still swollen from crying, and his voice was noticeably hoarse, which Lu Zixiao couldn't have failed to hear.
But he didn't say anything. He just looked at Lu Yuxuan's back with a complicated expression, and then went into the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Xiaobao followed Lu Jiaming to the living room with his small steps and asked in a very low voice, "Fourth brother, do you think that big brother has already known about the teacher punishing fifth brother?"
"Of course," Lu Jiaming lowered his voice. "Even though Big Brother didn't say anything, his hesitant expression just now betrayed him."
"What if Big Brother asks Fifth Brother about it later?" Xiao Bao asked, "Should we help explain it?"
Lu Jiaming glanced at the figure busy at the kitchen door and chuckled: "No, I don't think big brother will ask."
"Big brother is so thoughtful. He must have guessed the reason why Yuxuan hid it from us a long time ago. And he just saw us coming back together. Yuxuan even had swollen eyes. He should understand everything."
Xiaobao nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense."
As they expected, not only did Lu Zixiao not mention the extra classes during dinner, but Lu Ziyi's eyes were only slightly red when he came out of the bedroom. Yang Feng stayed by his side the whole time, and no one said much.
Lu Yuxuan was still that carefree kid after all. Seeing that they didn't mention the teacher, he really thought they didn't know about it, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He took two bites of rice and then said with a playful smile, "Big Brother, Second Brother, can I not go to the cram school anymore?"
Lu Zixiao paused for a moment as he was about to pick up some food, then hummed, "Okay, then I won't go."
"Really?" Lu Yuxuan was a little surprised. "Brother, you agreed so easily? You don't even want to ask me why?"
Xiaobao quickly tugged at the corner of his clothes under the table with one hand, feeling very worried.
It’s obvious that the eldest brother has no intention of asking, so why is the fifth brother still rushing to bring it up!
Lu Zixiao's expression was a little unnatural, and his eyes showed a hint of ambiguous emotions, but he said softly: "If you are not happy studying, then don't go. It's okay."
"Good grades can't be forced. Just like wearing ill-fitting shoes, no matter how far you walk, it will be painful. Don't take a class that doesn't suit you, otherwise the effect will be counterproductive."
"...Thank you, brother."
Lu Yuxuan enjoyed and was grateful to Lu Zixiao for thinking of him like this, but he didn't know if it was his illusion, but everyone seemed to be particularly gentle to him today.
Although Lu Ziyi didn't say anything, he put a lot of food into Lu Yuxuan's bowl while picking up food for Xiaobao. Even Yang Feng frowned and started peeling shrimp for him.
If Lu Yuxuan didn't know for sure that he didn't have any disease, he would have doubted whether he would die soon.
At first he felt flattered, but later he completely ignored it.
Maybe it was because the heavy stone in his heart had finally fallen, or maybe it was because he was really hungry after a whole day of hard work, Lu Yuxuan really did as he said and ate three bowls of rice, which he ate with great relish.
The haze that had been lingering around him for the past few days gradually dissipated, and Lu Yuxuan went to bed early for the first time in his life. It was so early that when Xiaobao just turned on the TV to watch the cartoon on the children's channel at 8 o'clock in the evening, he was already fast asleep with his pillow in his arms.
Although Xiaobao was sitting on the sofa in the living room, he still considerately turned down the volume of the TV. After the cartoons were all over, he obediently turned off the TV and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When they returned to the room, Xiaobao was stunned as soon as he opened the door. He blurted out, "Big brother, have you been in our room the whole time?"
Lu Zixiao nodded, made a hushing gesture to him, then stood up to help Lu Yuxuan tidy up the quilt, walked to the door, and motioned Xiaobao to go out with him.
The little guy did as he was told, and the two of them left the bedroom and stood at the door.
"Xiaobao, did Jiaming attack that teacher today?" Lu Zixiao asked directly.
"No, no," Xiaobao replied immediately, "My fourth brother just scolded him angrily and scared him a little, but he didn't hit him."
"Well, that's good," Lu Zixiao said, "If he takes action, he will be implicated."
"What does 'involved...' mean?" Xiaobao tilted his head to look at him, his face suddenly full of confusion.
Lu Zixiao lowered his eyes and touched his head lovingly: "It's nothing, just leave the rest to me."
"Thank you and Jiaming for your hard work today. It seems that Yuxuan was comforted by you two."
Xiao Bao laughed and said, "Actually, it's all thanks to Fourth Brother. I didn't do anything... Oh, Big Brother, I even took some pictures, look."
Lu Zixiao's gaze fell on the mobile phone that Xiaobao held up. As his little hands adjusted the photos one by one, Lu Zixiao's eyes flashed with heartache and pity countless times.
