Returning the Favor

Even though Shi Mingyu knew he had done nothing wrong, he still felt eternally guilty about his choice back then. However, he also knew that if he were to do it all over again, he would still part ways with Qian Wu as he could not hold on any longer. While he could not see any hope, he was also tired. Not everyone had the same luck as Qian Wu.

Now, they were all clustered around Song Ci, who should not have appeared in this world. Everyone was flaunting their pride. After all, they were still young with endless dreams.

Song Ci had wrapped up shooting. The others, however, would still need a few more days. No matter, thinking about Lu Gan and the two children, Song Ci did not waste a second longer to head back to the city first.

Lu Gan knew Song Ci was returning, so he asked Mary to make a few of her favorite dishes. He felt that Song Ci had not eaten well while she was out working and wanted to give her some nourishment.

!!

Meanwhile, Song Ci went to pick up Song Yujin and Lu Suo first.

Although it had been a few months since ‘Police Story’ was broadcasted, the Spring Festival was approaching, and the publicity for ‘Seeking Danger’ had already begun. Therefore, Song Ci’s face was still very well-known, with her popularity increasing.

Hence, Song Ci did not get out of the car, worried there would be congestion at the school entrance. She sat in the car and waited for the two babies, wanting to give them a surprise.

Lu Suo pulled Song Yujin into the car. When he saw Song Ci sitting inside, he was very surprised and immediately threw himself into her arms.

Song Ci hugged him. At the same time, she pulled Song Yujin into her arms. She kissed them one by one. “Aw, babies. Did you miss mommy? I really missed you guys.”

Lu Suo sat obediently on the other side of her, letting her sit between him and Song Yujin. This way, they would both be in close contact with Song Ci. He asked coquettishly, “Mom, how long will you be back this time?”

Song Ci instantly felt a little guilty. She had originally planned to spend some time with her two babies. Especially Song Yujin, as she had already promised him. However, ‘Seeking Danger’ was scheduled to be released on the first day of the new year, which meant that the promotion for the movie would start before Lunar New Year. As the main lead and their most popular actress, she could not miss too many events. In other words, she had to travel all over the country.

The director had probably considered the filming of ‘Rebirth’, so he only told her to come back a week before Lunar New Year’s Eve. It was already very kind of him to give her some time off. However, the time she would have to spend with the children was still very little.

“I’ll stay with you until the end of the month before going back to work for about two weeks. After that, I will be able to stay with you for three to five months.” Song Ci hurriedly told them about her subsequent vacation, afraid the children would be disappointed.

When Lu Suo heard her say three to five months, he was pleasantly surprised. “Mom, don’t you have to work this year?”

Song Ci smiled. “I won’t be as busy as last year. I’ll be able to pick you up, send you to school, and be with you every day.”

Song Yujin listened and lowered his head silently. She really was keeping her promise from that night. He was happy, but he did not show it.

Song Ci looked at Song Yujin and lowered her head to kiss him.

“Give Mommy a kiss,” she said softly to Song Yujin.

Song Yujin turned away awkwardly, refusing to look at her. Song Ci could not help but laugh. She rubbed his head and turned to look at Lu Suo. “How about you give Mommy a kiss, then?”

Lu Suo immediately gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek. After, he obediently said to Song Ci, “I’ll kiss you again on behalf of my brother.”

“Oh?” Song Ci raised her eyebrows and teased him. “Once you’re done kissing Mommy, you can kiss your brother on my behalf.”

“Alright.” As Lu Suo spoke, he kissed Song Ci’s cheek again. Then he leaned over and said to Song Yujin, “Brother, come closer. I can’t kiss you.”

Song Yujin was speechless.

He stayed cold and unmoved.

Lu Suo was not annoyed. Since Song Yujin did not want to come closer, he moved closer and kissed Song Yujin’s face.

Song Yujin was speechless once again.

Lu Suo had just finished kissing him on the cheek when Song Yujin heard Song Ci say, “Lu Suo, since you kissed your brother on my behalf, I’ll kiss him on your behalf too. Courtesy demands reciprocity.” As she spoke, Song Ci caught Song Yujin off guard and kissed him on the cheek.

Song Yujin was dumbfounded. So she returned the favor and kissed me?

“Then, I’ll kiss you again on behalf of Mommy,” Lu Suo said positively.

Song Yujin silently put some distance between them, leaning against the car window and watching the two warily. There seemed to be no end to their kissing. They were being too clingy!
