Chapter 137 Hidden Jealousy
On the day when the midterm exam results were announced, the atmosphere in Yunshen Pavilion was particularly lively.
Lan Sizhui ran into the house with his report card in hand and an irrepressible smile on his face. "Daddy! Father! I got first place in my grade!"
Wei Wuxian was basking in the sun in the courtyard. Upon hearing this, he immediately sat up straight and waved at him, "Show it to Daddy!"
Taking the report card and looking at the familiar name and bright red score at the top, Wei Wuxian smiled with his eyes curved, and hugged Sizhui into his arms: "Our Sizhui is really amazing! He is worthy of being Daddy's good son!"
Lan Wangji stood aside, looking at his son's proud expression, a gentle smile in his eyes. He reached out and ruffled his hair: "Well done."
As he was speaking, the doorbell rang. Lan Jingyi ran to open the door, only to see Jin Ling standing there angrily, a report card clutched in his hand, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"Uncle!" Jin Ling walked in and saw Lan Sizhui being praised by Wei Wuxian. He was furious and walked straight to Wei Wuxian and handed him the report card. "Look!"
Wei WuXian looked down and saw that Jin Ling's name was ranked second, only three points behind Si Zhui.
“Isn’t that pretty good?” Wei WuXian suppressed his laughter and teased him deliberately, “Second in the grade, that’s pretty good.”
"What's good about that!" Jin Ling stamped his foot and complained aggrievedly, "It's all Lan Sizhui's fault! Ever since you came back, he's become a completely different person. I used to be able to surpass him occasionally, but now he's pushing me straight into second place! I'm going to be second place forever!"
He felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and looked at Wei WuXian with a bit of a spoiled look in his eyes: "Uncle, please take care of him!"
Wei WuXian looked at him, fuming like a livid kitten, and couldn't help but laugh. "Why would anyone bother with that? Exams are all about ability."
He changed the subject and looked at Jin Ling with a smile: "In that case, you should study hard and beat Si Zhui in the next exam. Then, your uncle will promise you a wish. Whether your parents agree or not, I will fulfill it. How about it?"
"Really?" Jin Ling's eyes lit up, and he instantly became more alert. "Do you mean what you said?"
“Of course it counts.” Wei Wuxian patted his chest. “When has your uncle ever lied to you?”
Jin Ling immediately smiled and stuffed the report card into his pocket: "Then I'll go back and practice my homework! Next time I will definitely surpass Lan Sizhui!" After saying that, he ran away like a gust of wind.
Looking at his back, Wei Wuxian shook his head helplessly, and when he turned around, he met Lan Sizhui's aggrieved eyes.
The young boy was pursing his lips and quietly moving towards him, his little hands gently pulling at the corner of his clothes. He looked like a neglected little animal.
Wei Wuxian instantly understood his son's thoughts. He was jealous.
He smiled and pulled Sizhui into his arms, pinching his cheek: "What's wrong? Is our top student in the class jealous?"
Lan Sizhui buried his face in his arms and whispered, "Daddy doesn't even praise me..."
"Silly child." Wei Wuxian laughed, holding his face and saying seriously, "Of course Daddy has to praise you. Getting first place in the exam this time is a great thing, so naturally there should be a reward."
He thought for a moment and asked, "Tell me, what do you want? As long as Daddy can do it, I will satisfy you."
Lan Sizhui's eyes lit up. After a moment's thought, he said cautiously, "I...I want Daddy and Father to accompany me to the amusement park, just like last time, the three of us together."
The last time they went to the amusement park was before Wei Wuxian fell ill. The three of them took a photo under the Ferris wheel. Si Zhui has always kept that photo on his phone.
Wei WuXian's heart warmed slightly, and he nodded vigorously: "Okay, wait until the weekend, we will go to the amusement park and have a blast!"
"real?"
“Really.” Wei Wuxian scratched his nose. “But you have to promise Daddy that you can’t get complacent just because you got first place. You have to keep working hard, okay?”
"Yes! I know!" Lan Sizhui nodded vigorously, and finally a bright smile appeared on his face.
Lan Wangji stood aside, watching the heartwarming interaction between father and son, the smile in his eyes deepened.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on the three of them, making them feel warm.
Wei Wuxian looked at his son, whose smile was as beautiful as a flower, in his arms, then looked at Lan Wangji, who was watching them tenderly beside him, and felt a sense of peace in his heart.
Maybe this is what happiness is.
We have each other's company, simple expectations, and visible warmth.
Even though my body is still in pain, even though there are unknown difficulties in the future, at this moment, wrapped in such happiness, I feel that everything has meaning.
He lowered his head and kissed Sizhui on the forehead, saying silently in his heart:
Sizhui, daddy will be with you, watching you grow up little by little, and watching you smile like this forever.
