641 Happy New Year

Song Ci returned to her room and handed the fountain pen the teacher had given her to Song Yujin and Lu Suo. Along with the fountain pen were their test papers.

Song Yujin looked at the fountain pen in his hand. For some reason, he thought of Lu Gan. In his impression, Lu Gan worked in the study most of the time, as every time he went to look for Lu Gan, he would go to Lu Gan’s study.

Lu Gan used a fountain pen while he worked. In the few instances when he went to talk to Lu Gan, Lu Gan would put down the fountain pen in his hand before walking toward him. Then, he would hug him and wait for him to speak.

Since Lu Gan seemed to like using fountain pens, Song Yujin thought he could give his own fountain pen to Lu Gan. However, he was also a little biased toward Song Ci. In his heart, he wanted to give the pen to Song Ci. Song Yujin hesitated. If only he had two fountain pens… Then, he would not have to be so conflicted. As he thought about this, he suddenly saw the pen in Lu Suo’s hand.

“Do you want to use your fountain pen?” Song Yujin asked Lu Suo as they returned to their bedrooms.

Lu Suo shook his head and said generously, “Brother, if you want it, I’ll give it to you.”

“I don’t want it. Give it to your uncle. He likes to use a fountain pen.”

Lu Suo had never been as meticulous as Song Yujin in such matters. However, he was willing to do anything for Lu Gan. So when Song Yujin said this, he naturally agreed. “Sure.”

Satisfied, Song Yujin nodded imperceptibly. When Song Ci went to Lu Gan’s study that night, he took the opportunity to place his pen on Song Ci’s bedside table. He was afraid Song Ci and Lu Gan would not be able to tell who it was for, so he specially put a piece of paper under it and wrote: I wish Mommy all the best at work.

That way, it was obvious he was referring to Song Ci.

Song Yujin quietly returned to his small study and looked up at the starry sky on the roof, feeling a little happy.

Not long after, Lu Suo came looking for him. He said happily, “I gave my fountain pen to my uncle. He was so happy that he even kissed me a few times.”

Song Yujin listened calmly, but the joy in his heart increased. It was not because he was jealous or indignant that Lu Suo had been praised for what he had done. As long as Lu Gan and Lu Suo were happy, he would be, too.

Lu Suo leaned close to him and said sweetly, “Thank you, Brother.”

“You’re welcome,” Song Yujin said. He turned around and pulled out a book from the bookshelf. He also pulled one for Lu Suo and started reading with him.

When Song Ci returned to the bedroom, she realized there was a pen on her bedside table. After picking it up and seeing Song Yujin’s young handwriting, she could not help but smile. She picked up the piece of paper and read it carefully.

“What do you think? I told you Yujin would give you his pen,” Lu Gan said from behind Song Ci. “The two of them have always imitated each other. How could Little Suo notice this? He’s so pampered and spoiled. Since young, he had always been on the receiving end of gifts. How could he have the concept of giving? It must be because Yujin wanted to give it to you that Little Suo learned to give it to me. ”

Song Ci’s eyes were filled with gentleness. Looking at the words ‘I wish Mommy all the best at work’, she felt as if a warm breeze had blown past her heart.

Lu Gan put his arm around her shoulders. “Our babies are quite sensible. It’s really heartbreaking.”

“Mm,” Song Ci replied in a low voice. Her two babies were really lovable.

Out of this love, Song Ci and Lu Gan bought many different patterns of fireworks for them the next day. They wanted to give the children a surprise when the fireworks were set off.

After buying the fireworks, it was getting closer and closer to the end of the year. Red lanterns and white fairy lights hung on the branches on both sides of the road, creating a feeling of fire and silver flowers.

Song Ci took in the New Year’s atmosphere, and her heart felt warm as if it had been roasting by the fireplace. She took the two kids and Lu Gan to the supermarket to buy some things.

Song Yujin looked up demurely while Lu Suo placed whatever he liked into the car.

After a while, the few of them had bought two full shopping carts worth of items, but that was not enough. Song Ci and Lu Gan each carried a large shopping basket. Once they finished shopping, they did not rush home. Instead, they went nearby and bought many New Year goods.

Feeling the joy of the new year, Lu Suo held Song Ci’s hand and skipped along the road. When they passed the cinema, he saw a movie poster of ‘Seeking Danger’ on the wall. On it was Song Ci’s cold face.
