Chapter 486: Chapter 484: Shall we go play together?
After the exam ended, everyone breathed a temporary sigh of relief, but the preparations ahead weren’t easy either.
The five-person group project was such that any mistake by one person would affect the others. Ji Niandong unlocked her phone and saw she had been added to a small five-person WeChat group.
Everyone was discussing which script to choose, and Ji Niandong occasionally contributed ideas. Only the person who ranked last never showed up. No matter how many times they tagged him, it was useless. Starting out so disunited made everyone worried.
Moreover, Ji Niandong also had acting rehearsals with limited time. Due to various factors, the small group was even more anxious.
However, having just finished one exam, they all chose to go home first to rest and recharge.
Ji Niandong drove home, deciding to think hard about what to perform. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Lu Sinian lying on the sofa making a phone call, "Really? You really have time?"
His voice was full of excitement. He didn’t even notice Ji Niandong had returned.
"Actually, if you don’t have time, it’s okay. I just think because my classmates all went with their mom and dad, my dad is too busy and would never go to such a place. I couldn’t find anyone else to accompany me, so..."
"It’s okay, I can go with you!" A gentle voice replied from the other end of the phone, and Lu Sinian excitedly kicked his little legs.
"Alright then, we’ll go after breakfast tomorrow. We have to go early; my classmates said that unless you private-book, you have to line up for the attractions if you go on your own, but a private booking makes it boring, so I don’t want Dad to know. He would definitely do something childish like that."
Little Bun’s face was full of excitement, "Okay, bye-bye."
He hung up and almost rolled on the sofa with desire to move around. Ji Niandong couldn’t help but ask from the side, "Nian Nian, who were you talking to that made you so excited?"
Lu Sinian was startled and almost sprang up, sitting properly on the sofa before asking, "Sister Tongtong, why are you back?"
"Why are you at home? Don’t you have classes today?" Ji Niandong went over and sat next to him.
"Today is Saturday!"
Lu Sinian replied, and only then did Ji Niandong nod. She was really so busy she didn’t even know what day it was, "Oh oh, so who are you going to have fun with tomorrow?"
Lu Sinian opened his mouth, staring with some conflict at Ji Niandong, wondering whether to tell her or not.
After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "I arranged to go to the amusement park with Xi Yao tomorrow!" He promptly added, "I originally wanted to go with Sister Tongtong. I kept waiting for you to have time to take me, but you never had time..."
His voice grew quieter as he spoke, and Ji Niandong awkwardly laughed, reaching out to touch his little head, "So Nian Nian has always wanted to go to the amusement park?"
She promised him three times but never took him, ultimately standing him up. The kid was considerate enough to worry about her feelings, afraid she’d be sad.
Ji Niandong exhaled slightly. She really felt inferior, even to a child. She laughed and said, "If I’d known you just wanted to go to the amusement park, Sister Tongtong could’ve squeezed in a day’s time, but since you’ve already arranged someone, enjoy it."
Though she encouraged him, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness inside. Of all people, it was with Gu Xiyao? But they were the biological mother and son, weren’t they supposed to be together?
Moreover, just like Little Bun’s face mentioned on the phone, other classmates went with their mom and dad. Why wouldn’t it be right for him to have his mom accompany him?
"Sister Tongtong, do you have anything tomorrow? If not, shall we go together?" Little Bun’s face looked over at her, appearing cautious.
