Su Han poured cold water on Lu Qingyan's enthusiasm: "Master, aren't you going to ask him what kind of work he's assigned you? What if he wants you to clean the toilets..."
"Then I'll give you the work to do."
"Senior Cui, what can I do over there?" Lu Qingyan looked at him with bright eyes.
Cui Shaoting said, "You can come over and help with cleaning before the college entrance exam. After the holiday, I'll find someone to help you with the paperwork."
Lu Qingyan was immediately delighted: "Thank you, senior!"
Cui Shaoting handed Lu Qingyan a business card with his company's address on it. The white background with black lettering and subtle silver-gray patterns gave the otherwise ordinary card a sophisticated air, making it almost look like a famous painting.
Lu Qingyan was secretly delighted. Cui Shaoting really cared about her; knowing that studying for the college entrance exam was mentally taxing, he had her clean as a way to get some exercise. Plus, she had someone to tutor her for free during the holidays, so she naturally couldn't be happier.
The truth was that Cui Shaoting had just made a casual suggestion; Lu Qingyan, blinded by love, had overthought it. Reaching the school gate, Lu Qingyan watched his retreating figure grow smaller and smaller, too afraid to take another step forward.
She has to take care of Su Yu today, so she definitely can't go to work and is destined to have to temporarily disappoint this kindness.
Perhaps because Lu Qingyan had yelled at him yesterday, Su Yu was extremely well-behaved when she returned today. If it weren't for the hint of restlessness in his eyes, Lu Qingyan might have been fooled by him.
Lu Qingyan stepped forward and tucked the blanket around him: "How are you feeling today?"
Su Yu smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth: "Sis, I feel much better today. It must be because I'm getting better soon. Then I can go out and play again."
Lu Qingyan nodded: "Yes, you can go to school then."
Su Yu's face turned cold as she pouted and said in a spoiled tone, "Sister, I don't want to go to school at all. If there's anything I don't know, you can teach me. Why do I have to go to school?"
"You can make a lot of friends at school and play with them, why don't you go?" Lu Qingyan asked him, not knowing the reason.
Su Yu honestly replied, "They're definitely not as good as you, sister, nor as good as these nurses. I don't want to go. Sister, do you remember when I went to kindergarten?"
"I remember, weren't you very happy back then?" In Su Mengmeng's memory, she was the one who picked up and dropped off Su Yu the first time he went to kindergarten.
That day, Su Yu went for the first time. He was very happy when he left, but he was sullen when he came back. When asked why, he became a silent gourd and refused to say anything.
But at this moment, Lu Qingyan wondered if he was about to say something.
"Sis, Mom and Dad had just passed away then, and you were quite busy, so I didn't dare to tell you. You know what? Those friends you mentioned are no good at all. They tried to take the toys I brought and even pushed me down." Su Yu lowered her head dejectedly.
How could you be so silly? Lu Qingyan felt a pang of sadness; she had no idea this child was so thoughtful.
“It’s just a small matter,” Lu Qingyan advised. “You could have fought back if you had wanted to. Why didn’t you fight back?”
Su Yu pouted: "Sis, what kind of 'fighting back' are you talking about? You know I can't fight."
Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow: "So what can you do?"
Lu Qingyan's question was a conditioned reflex; she immediately realized it was inappropriate. It sounded like she was implying he was completely incompetent, even though Lu Qingyan meant it that way, it still sounded jarring to him.
