Song Yujin bent down and picked up one of the pots. He handed it to Lu Gan and said, “If you pay, this won’t count as my gift to you.”

Lu Gan was surprised.

“This is for me?”

Song Yujin nodded.

Lu Gan could not help but laugh.

“Alright, you can pay.”

Song Yujin nodded in satisfaction and paid.

Meanwhile, Lu Suo had picked a pot of red roses. The flowers did not bloom yet, but the buds were full of vitality. He carried it to the counter and made a payment.

The children were done shopping, so Lu Gan took them home. This trip was a success. Lu Gan felt like his relationship with Song Yujin had improved. He did not expect the little boy to also buy flowers for him!

Lu Gan looked at Song Yujin and asked curiously, “Why did you buy a cactus for me?”

Lu Suo immediately answered even though the question was not directed to him, “Because he likes them.”

Lu Gan did not expect Song Yujin to like this type of plant. Cacti were bald and had thorns. Most children preferred beautiful flowers. On second thought, Song Yujin was not like most children. He tended to be very mature and rational.

“I see. Thank you, Yujin. I like my gift very much!”

Lu Gan said in a gentle tone.

Song Yujin replied calmly, “You’re welcome.”

Then, he asked, “Can you keep today’s matter a secret from my sister?”

If Song Ci found out, it would not be a surprise anymore.

Of course, Lu Gan had no reason to refuse.

“Sure.”

“Thank you.”

Song Yujin looked very serious.

Lu Gan could not help but pinch his face.

“Why are you still being so polite with me?”

Song Yujin tilted his head.

“But you also thanked me earlier.”

“…”

For a moment, things were quite awkward.

Lu Gan took a glance at Song Yujin.

‘Is that disdain in his eyes? Am I imagining things? Song Yujin is so obedient, there’s no way he despises me!’

Lu Gan quickly changed the topic and soon, they arrived home.

Almost immediately, Lu Gan instructed Zhang Huan to place his cactus on the master bedroom’s balcony.

Lu Gan stared at the cactus and his fondness kept growing. He asked Zhang Huan, “Isn’t it beautiful?”

Zhang Huan almost laughed, but he quickly covered his mouth.

“Ahem. Yes, it’s beautiful.”

Everyone had different preferences. To Zhang Huan, a cactus could not be compared to a colorful flower.

Lu Gan had a smug look on his face.

“Yujin gave this to me. He’s really thoughtful.”

Zhang Huan agreed with this point and nodded his head sincerely.

Lu Gan was really clueless about the two children’s future.

On the other hand, Lu Suo carried the pot of roses into Song Yujin’s bedroom.

Song Yujin ignored him and placed Song Ci’s gift at a suitable location.

Unexpectedly, Lu Suo placed his roses next to the cactus.

Song Yujin fell silent for a moment.

“Why did you put it here?”

Lu Suo smiled.

“It’s for you! Treat it as a gift exchange. You’ve chosen something you liked for me, so I did the same.”

Song Yujin thought Lu Suo’s words made sense. He looked at the pot of roses that had yet to bloom.

“I chose this pot because it looked the best.”

Lu Suo’s tone was soft and sweet. It was obvious he wanted to be praised.

“Thank you.”

Song Yujin also felt that it was very beautiful.

Lu Suo clapped his hands.

“You’re welcome! Take good care of it. I’ll be keeping my eye on you.”

Song Yujin smiled. Then, he picked up a small water bottle and watered the plants. Doing that immediately improved his mood. At the same time, he wondered, ‘When is Song Ci coming back? Can she take care of herself?’
