Chapter 28 - When he opened up his eyes, the strange big sister was gone. (3)

Ning Zhi sat in the passenger seat and went to school with little Lu Jue again the next morning.

Both little Lu Jue and Lu Shenyuan sat in the back of the car with Mother Lu sitting next to the two of them. She insisted on taking the kids to school every day.

Ning Zhi learned from the dialogs between Mother Lu and Lu Shenyuan that Lu Shenyuan was in the academically-focused class and little Lu Jue was in a regular class. The two did not belong to the same class.

Mother Lu wished that the two of them could be in the same class; that way little Lu Jue would have his older brother to look over him. She was, however, not a selfish one, and did not want to sacrifice Lu Shenyuan’s grades for the sake of taking care of little Lu Jue.

The car stopped in front of the school.

Lu Shenyuan waved politely at Mother Lu after he had gotten out of the car.

On the other side, little Lu Jue walked dully in the direction of the school with his little red backpack on his back.

Mother Lu sighed and only got back into the car and took off after her son had walked away.

Ning Zhi went with little Lu Jue to his class. His spot was next to the window.

Ning Zhi only discovered after class had started that the spot next to little Lu Jue was empty. He did not have a deskmate.

Everybody else in class had a deskmate. He was the only one who sat alone.

Light came in through the window and it was quiet and lonely on his little body.

Ning Zhi sat down in the spot next to him. Leaning close to him, she smiled and said, “little Juejue, I am going to be your deskmate today.”

Little Lu Jue looked over at her, then turned away.

Then, to Ning Zhi’s surprise, he placed a pen in front of her, followed by a new notebook, and a book.

Ning Zhi couldn't help but busted out laughing. He was really treating her like his deskmate?

Chuckling, Ning Zhi teased him. “Thank you, Classmate little Lu Jue.”

Attending grade school with one’s own husband was kind of exciting.

During physical education class, Ning Zhi followed little Lu Jue to the playground. A gunch of little carrots engaged in games or ballgames happily. Little Lu Jue, on the other hand, sat quietly under a tree.

As though knowing that little Lu Jue was a special one in his class, he didn’t pay him much attention.

Ning Zhi squatted down next to little Lu Jue. “little Juejue, aren’t you going to go play balls? Playing with the ball is fun.”

Little Lu Jue turned and ignored her.

Ning Zhi leaned into his ears and said softly, “Oh, so little Juejue doesn’t want to play with them?”

Little Lu Jue kept his little mouth shut.

Looking at the children running around actively with smiles on their faces, Ning Zhi suddenly felt her heart ached.

She wooed little Lu Jue. “Big Sister likes little Juejue. How about I play with you?”

Having said that, she stood up, took little Lu Jue’s hand, and walked with him to the sandbox behind them.

“Does little Juejue want to know what he is like after he had grown up?” Ning Zhi pinched him on his cheek. “Big Sister can tell you.”

Little Lu Jue blinked his big eyes. “Tell me.”

Ning Zhi held his hand, picked up a small twig and, with her hand over his, led his hand to start drawing on the sand.

Little Lu Jue’s big eyes looked at Ning Zhi the entire time and he let her hold his hand.

After a little while, Ning Zhi let go of his little hand. “Okay, look. This is what you look like after you grow up.”

There was curiosity in little Lu Jue’s eyes.

He looked at the sand and on there was a cartoon pig. He tossed aside the twig in his hand and, pinching his little mouth shut quickly, he said, “Pig. You.”

You are a big.

Ning Zhi doubled down laughing.

Ning Zhi spent two days around little Lu Jue.

He would look up at her when she got close to him.

He would turn his ear toward her slightly when she talked to him next to his ear.

Ning Zhi’s image would reflect in his blank eyes when she smiled.

Because of his effort to tell on her a couple of days ago, Aunty Feng had not try to strike him again.

But Ning Zhi wasn’t just going to let that go.

When nobody was paying attention, Ning Zhi brought little Lu Jue to Mother Lu’s room. The two of them picked up a jade bracelet and stealthily placed it in Aunty Feng’s pocket.

That night, when Mother Lu found the bracelet in Aunty Feng’s pocket, Ning Zhi covered up little Lu Jue’s eyes.

“Big Sister is the bad one. Little Lu Jue did nothing.” She was the one who did that. Little Lu Jue was in the clear.

Exactly like Ning Zhi had wanted, Mother Lu decided to fire Aunty Feng. It was just because of the bracelet. She had also noticed the odd way that Aunty Feng had been looking at little Lu Jue the last few days and that made her feel uncomfortable.

Mother Lu would not allow any potential danger around her son.

Now that the issue with Aunty Feng had been resolved, Ning Zhi knew that it was time for her to go.

Covering little Lu Jue’s eyes, she leaned into his ear and said, “Little Lu Jue, Big Sister has to go. We will meet later.”

When she finished saying that, little Lu Jue felt a warm feeling on his ear as though someone had kissed him.

He sensed brightness in front of his eyes and, when he opened up his eyes, the strange Big Sister was gone.
