Chapter 231 - Ning Zhi couldn’t explain why she was feeling nervous. (3)
Edited by: Lulu

Old Mrs. Song looked over at Lu Jue in his red outfit and his red backpack and looked very happy. She smiled so much that one could barely see her eyes. “It looks like my grandchild has grown even more. This outfit made him look so spirited.”

In the eyes of elderly people, wearing red was pretty and well-spirited. They believe that kids should wear red more often since it looked festive and made others happy.

“Come over here, Xiao Jue. Don’t just stand there.” Grandma waved at Lu Jue, gesturing for him to sit next to her.

Ning Zhi held Lu Jue’s hand and pulled him over to her. “Let’s sit next to Grandma.”

Seeing that Lu Jue had really gone and sat down next to her, the smile on her face thickened. Her grandchild had finally responded to her.

Seeing the happiness on the old lady, she leaned into Lu Jue’s ear and taught him. “Say ‘Grandma’ and greet her.”

Lu Jue blinked. He gave his grandmother a look and said slowly, “Hi, grand- grandma.”

Hearing that Lu Jue had talked to her, Old Mrs. Song looked at him in surprise. She was happy with disbelief. “Did you all hear that? Xiao Jue just said hi to me.”

“Yes, Mom. I’ve heard it. I guess Xiao Jue missed you too,” said Song Ruo with a smile.

Old Mrs. Song couldn’t have been more surprised. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened as she smiled. “Oh, my good grandchild. You are such a good boy.”

In the old lady’s eyes was unconcealed fondness that she had for her grandchild.

“Hi, Grandma. Hi, Little Aunty.”

Lu Shenyuan, too, greeted Old Mrs. Song and Song Ruo politely.

“Have a seat, Shenyuan,” said Song Ruo to him.

Old Mrs. Song nodded. There was tenderness in her eyes. She, too, had spoken, “Yes, Shenyuan. Have a seat. Don’t just stand there.”

The difference in her attitude toward the two boys were very obvious. She doted on Lu Jue, her real grandchild. That was very obvious. As for Lu Shenyuan, the old lady was tender toward him like an elderly person to someone of a younger generation – affectionate but also a little distant.

Old Mrs. Song looked back over at Lu Jue, sitting next to her. Seeing how he was sitting there obediently, she wanted to stroke him on his head.

Lu Jue, however, dodged her hand the next second.

Old Mrs. Song did not get upset when she didn’t get to rub Lu Jue on his head. Instead, she smiled and said, “Grandma will be so happy the day you will let her pat you on your head.”

Next to them, Ning Zhi reached out her hand and placed them on Lu Jue’s cheeks, holding his head.

Then, she brought Lu Jue’s head closer to Grandma. “Hurry up and pat him, Grandma.”

Old Mrs. Song was surprised when she saw her grandchild lower his head and bring it in front of her obediently.

“Mom, Xiao Jue wanted you to stroke him on his head. Hurry up and stroke him,” said Song Ruo with a smile.

Mother Lu smiled next to them. She was envious of what was happening. She, too, wanted to stroke her son on his head.

Old Mrs. Song was delighted. She reached out and gently, as though worried that she would startle Lu Jue, stroke him on his head with her trembling hand.

Grandma said, “Xiao Jue must be safe and happy from now on.”

Forced to have his head stroked, Lu Jue blinked. He did not hate the feeling.

Worried that her docile grandson wouldn’t like it too much, she stopped after a quick stroke. However, that was enough to make her very happy.

Mother Lu was envious when she witnessed that. “Xiao Jue, Mom wants to stroke you on your head too.”

When Xiao Jue was young, even when he didn’t like it very much, she coudl still force him a little to hug him, kiss him, raise him up in the air, and stroke him on his head.

That was no longer the case after he had gotten older. He dodged any attempt at physical contact and resented touching and hugging.

Ning Zhi, holding Lu Jue’s face, turned it toward Mother Lu. She coaxed him. “Let your Mom touch you on your head too.”

Lu Jue pinched his lips shut. His eyes lowered, and he didn’t say a word.

Mother Lu reached her hand over and touched her son’s fringes over his forehead gently. The softness of his hair melted her heart, and her eyes tingled. Her son was docile like this when he was a child too.
