Zhao Nanyu's hand was on her waist. Song Luan habitually burrowed into his chest, resting her little head in his arms and her limbs on him, mumbling in her sleep, "Ah, I want to eat candied haws."
As soon as the sun rose, Shige'er was called to his father. Zhao Nanyu looked at the child who was startled and leaned on his waist, and his heart softened. "Go see your mother later."
Shi Ge'er thought his father was forcing him to recognize that woman as his mother. He lowered his head and said in a dead voice, "Son knows."
Soon, he was finally led to the yard that he had never been allowed to set foot in.
Shi Ge'er stood outside the courtyard gate, not moving.
The maid behind him urged: "Young Master, please go in quickly."
"Shut your mouth." His voice was low and dignified at such a young age. The cold aura surrounding him made people feel respectful.
Shi Ge'er looked around carefully, sneered twice, and the hatred in his heart grew deeper. This yard was almost the same as where his mother lived before.
The flowers planted in the yard are also the flowers his mother loved when she was alive.
Shi Ge'er raised his little face and walked slowly. Just as he reached the door, before he could pass on the message, the door was pushed open from the inside. The maid didn't dare to urge him a second time after being scolded once.
Song Luan in the room was inexplicably nervous and paced around the table. She had specially worn a pink skirt today and put on light makeup, and she looked very good.
Shi Ge'er stood there for a long time and walked into the house with an expressionless face.
He had already made up his mind that he would not give any face to the people in the house today.
Before coming, Nanny Lin had advised him to be more polite to the new lady. She was so doted on, and if she whispered in her father's ear, it might cause them to become estranged.
It is only a matter of time before his new wife becomes pregnant, and by then his status will probably plummet.
Shi Ge'er smiled instead, his brows furrowed with anger, "Is she worthy of it?"
What a thing.
Nanny Lin sent him out the door with a worried look in her eyes.
The room was so quiet that Shi Ge'er could hear his own footsteps clearly.
The person was sitting by the window, her feet dangling in the air, her embroidered shoes swaying in the air. She had her back to him, her long hair spread on her back, and in the dim light, only her profile could be vaguely seen.
Even if it was just half of her face, it was enough for a knowledgeable guy to recognize her.
The child froze in place, motionless, his eyes quickly filled with tears, wetting his cheeks.
He couldn't even speak clearly, "Mother, mother?"
Song Luan turned around, her heart beating like a drum. She took a deep breath, gradually relaxed, and smiled brightly at Shi Ge'er, "Yes, it's mother." She continued, "It's been so long, has Shi Ge'er missed me?"
Yes, of course I do.
Sometimes I would hide in my bed and cry secretly.
Shi Ge'er only behaves like a fragile child in front of his mother. He often cries and feels aggrieved and afraid.
The circles around his eyes were red, and he threw away his shyness. Shi Ge'er ran to her, hugged her legs tightly, and cried out of breath.
Song Luan stroked his back and coaxed him softly, "Don't be afraid, mother is back."
When Zhao Nanyu entered the room, Shiger was still crying, his eyes were red and swollen, his cheeks were wet, and he was hiccuping.
There was a smile in the corner of his eyes, as if he was mocking his son.
Song Luan held her son on her lap, looked at Zhao Nanyu and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Tanghulu." Finally, he added, "I bought it for you."
Song Luan swallowed her saliva. She really wanted to eat candied haws these past two days. She extended her hand to him unceremoniously, "Since you bought it for me, give it to me."
Her son was crying too, so she and her son each took half, which was just right!
Zhao Nanyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Only you are allowed to eat, no one else is allowed."
Neither can my son.
Except himself, of course.
Song Luan smacked her lips and muttered, "I know, you stingy guy."
She took a small bite and it tasted a little sour, but she just liked the sour taste! The best is to make your teeth fall out.
After eating one himself, he lowered his head and asked Shigeer, "Do you want to try one too? It's delicious."
Shi Ge'er said softly, "I don't want it, you eat it."
Song Luan ate two more in one breath, then she realized that there was a grown man standing in front of her. After all, he bought them for her, so it would be bad to not let him taste a single bite.
Song Luan pretended to pass the candied haws in front of him, "Nuo, what about you? Do you want to try it?"
She remembered that Zhao Nanyu didn't like these snacks, either because they were too sour or too sweet.
Unexpectedly, he nodded, "I'd be honored to refuse."
He bent down slightly, took another bite of the candied haws she had bitten, savored it carefully, and swallowed it down his throat.
Song Luan blinked, groaned, and asked curiously, "Don't you feel sour?"
Zhao Nanyu was still not satisfied, "It's not sour, but very sweet."
It’s not sweet at all, it’s not like she didn’t eat it!
It took Song Luan a long time to realize that what he was eating was the one she had bitten.
Oh, that's unhygienic.
