Who’s the Idiot?
“Therefore, if you can’t explain it clearly then don’t bother saying it. Just quietly continue doing what you want to do, do what you’ve always insisted on doing. Don’t bother about those voices you don’t like. When the time comes, you don’t have to say it; everyone will understand—who’s the freak, who’s the idiot, and who’s the smart and outstanding child.”
The sun was very warm, and his sister’s hands were very warm. For the first time, Lu Jingzhi felt as if his entire body was illuminated by the sun.
He looked at Lu Ning and nodded. This was the first time he smiled so freely.
At the same time, the ferris wheel slowly returned to its starting point. Through the glass, Lu Qing, who was waiting outside, saw the scene inside.
In his impression, his younger brother had always carried himself like an adult, as though he had a lot on his mind every day. He was only five years old, yet he lived like an old man in his fifties. This was the first time he saw him smile so tenderly, in a way fitting for his age.
And the reason for this…
He turned to look at Lu Ning, who was sitting opposite him and smiling at Lu Jingzhi.
“…”
What sorcery is this?
——————
Lu Ning held Lu Jingzhi’s hand as they walked out. When she looked up, she was met with Lu Qing’s peculiar gaze. She looked past him, towards their parents.
Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci each held a small fan, and started to fan them.
“Are you hot? Mommy saw that you guys were up there for a long time.”
Although it was already autumn, the weather in the past few days was still very hot. It did not feel too hot when they left in the morning, but now it was noon, she felt a little hot under the sun.
Lu Ning could not really take the heat. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead even though she was only standing around.
Shen Yunci quickly brought them to the air-conditioned cafeteria in the park.
Coincidentally, as she sat down to order she saw Lù Yue’an’s family sitting not far away.
Shen Yunci happened to be facing them and could not conceal herself even if she wanted to. Her expression darkened and she turned towards Lu Ning, though she could still see them from the corner of her eye.
Lu Ning happened to be checking their order on her phone when she looked up and saw Shen Yunci’s expression. She could guess what it was without turning around, so she said, “Mom, change seats with me.”
Shen Yunci was surprised. She had not wanted her daughter to see that family, but she looked at her eldest son next to her. Perhaps they could grow closer if they sat next to each other?
She nodded, and stood up to change seats with Lu Ning.
And Lu Ning did not turn around to look; she had been sharing her experience on the ferris wheel with Lu Jingzhi with her parents.
For the most part, Lu Jingzhi spoke while Lu Ning occasionally chimed in.
It was rare to see Lu Jingzhi talking so much, so they did not interrupt him and listened with a smile, occasionally making a remark.
Lu Ning did not look elsewhere, but there were people looking at her.
From time to time, Lù Yue’an would turn around to steal a glance. When she saw that Lu Qing and Lu Ning were not communicating at all, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she saw that Little Darling often smiled at Lu Ning and even seemed to be talking endlessly, Lù Yue’an felt that something was off.
When she was at home, she had never seen Little Darling being so passionate, and clearly did not like to talk or smile; even though, obviously, she was also his sister at that time. No wonder it is said that children forget quickly, he was so heartless.
When Lu Ning heard their order being called, she got up to walk to the front desk. Lu Qing had been slow to react; just as he was about to say, “I’ll go get it,” Lu Ning had already walked over, ignoring him totally.
His words were stuck in his throat.
