When the little boy said these words, he suddenly bowed; his upper body maintaining a forward lean of over 80 degrees, hands clasped at his sides, the little blue canvas schoolbag pushed forward by his motion. The whole image of him was even tinier and more delicate.
Dad showed me pictures. She is my brother’s wife.
This acknowledgement as sister-in-law caught Yu Ting completely off guard. No wonder these beautiful features were somewhat similar to Lu Nanchen’s.
So, he is the younger brother.
"Hello, hello, come on in." Yu Ting, who hadn’t expected the little brother to come during the National Day holiday, quickly put on a friendly smile. She moved to one side to let the little boy come in.
The little boy stood up straight after the greeting, took hold of the straps of his backpack, and started walking into the room. His bright eyes roamed around the house before he propped himself up onto the sofa, only then did he take off his backpack and place it next to him.
The sofa was a bit high; when the little boy sat on it, his feet didn’t touch the ground, and he could swing his legs back and forth. His eyes kept wandering around.
"Is it just you sister-in-law, isn’t brother at home?"
"Hmm, your brother just had to go out." Yu Ting walked over with a cup of warm water.
There was really nothing at home, Yu Ting fetched a cup of hot water from the kitchen for him, placed it on the coffee table in front of him, and then sat down next to it.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." The little boy held the glass with both hands, he said merrily, before taking a few sips.
The two were truly meeting for the first time in a real sense. They had seen each other at the wedding banquet, but they had not spoken to each other. Now, one big, one small, they were sitting on the sofa together.
"What’s your name? Are you here alone? Didn’t anyone accompany you?" Yu Ting asked with a smile, she had to commend him, the gene in the Lu family was really good, this little boy was so cute.
She occasionally glanced at the open door, but no adults came in. it seemed like he was the only one.
"I’m called Lu Yan, from the Chinese word for banquet. My nickname is Lu Xiaobao. Sister-in-law can just call me Xiaobao," Lu Xiaobao answered with both hands holding the cup, "Xiaobao came here alone~I headed straight here once school was out."
When the little boy laughed, he had two dimples, a half exposed small canine tooth, and smooth hair, all adding to his cuteness.
Eh.
Yu Ting was a bit worried after listening to him.
"Do your mom and dad know you’re here? You can’t walk a long way alone, kid, there are many bad people outside."
"They know. They agreed for Xiaobao to come find brother."
Lu Xiaobao replied, holding the edge of the sofa with both hands, swinging his legs from time to time.
The backpack next to him was bursting at the seams, she didn’t know why the school gave so much stuff to such a small child.
"Xiaobao, what did you put in your bag that’s so much? Carry a bit less otherwise it might be too heavy." Yu Ting chatted casually with Xiaobao since they had nothing else to do.
"It’s not heavy, I just brought a change of clothes."
Yu Ting: ?
...
On the other side.
Lu Nanchen had driven his low-key Lexus for about ten minutes. After arriving at his destination and parking in the outdoor parking area, he stepped out of the car with a thermal cup in his hand and headed towards a building.
This time, the place was a bar. Even before entering, Lu Nanchen could already smell a faint scent of alcohol.
