Susu nodded, then shook her head.
“What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?” Huo Ting frowned, his little face stern.
Couldn’t this kid speak more clearly?
“Well, that is…” Susu’s little head worked hard to think of an explanation, somewhat unsure of how to express herself.
Lu Zhanyu spoke up to help Susu, “Don’t keep asking her like that, she just wanted to save someone, not necessarily me.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Susu nodded eagerly, like pounding garlic—that’s exactly what she meant!
Finding that the little brother understood what she wanted to say, Susu was very happy.
“Hmph.” Huo Ting snorted, “So what if it’s true, no need to be so happy about it.”
“Alright, alright, it’s fine as long as nobody is hurt, it’s all good if everyone is safe,” the Qin family matriarch intervened to smooth things over, then addressing Lu Zhanyu, “Young master, I’m sorry for the disturbance today.”
“It’s okay, your actions didn’t disturb me; in fact, I should thank you,” Lu Zhanyu said, his voice steady, his demeanor gentle.
For a child his age to have such a reaction and composure was impressive, leading the Qin family matriarch to take a second glance.
“Now that everything is okay, we’ll be heading back.
The fire trucks will be here soon, and we’re only causing more chaos here,” said the Qin family matriarch.
Lu Zhanyu nodded slightly, then he turned to his butler, “Old Zhang, my legs are not in the best condition, please see our guests out on my behalf.”
“Understood, young master.
Rest assured,” the Butler replied.
Lu Zhanyu’s butler grinned as he respectfully saw the guests out.
It was the first time their home had been so lively, and the young master’s face rarely showed so much expression—it seemed today’s fire was quite worthwhile!
“Bye-bye, little brother!” Susu, held in the arms of the Qin family matriarch, didn’t forget to turn back and wave goodbye to Lu Zhanyu.
“Mhm, bye-bye,” Lu Zhanyu replied with a faint smile to Susu, his tone light yet with a barely noticeable warmth.
Huo Ting watched the interaction between the two and pursed his lips, his expression somewhat jealous.
Once the group returned to the Qin Family’s home, Huo Ting made a shocking decision:
“I’m going to stay here!”
Butler Liu was taken aback, “Young master, you…?”
“I’m staying here.
Find a way,” Huo Ting insisted.
“But…” Butler Liu wore a distressed expression on his face.
“What’s the matter?
Can’t do it?”
“No, no, it’s just that, young master, you need to tell me why you want to stay here?”
“You need to tame that little thing!
I want that little thing to smile at me, to say she wants to be my friend on her own initiative!” Huo Ting’s fighting spirit seemed to be ignited.
He, too, wanted the little thing to call him “little brother” with a giggly smile!
“Please wait, young master, I can’t make this decision on my own.
I’ll go and ask your father about it right away,” Butler Liu said, bustling off.
That afternoon, Huo Ting’s father, the head of the Huo Family in the Capital City, Huo Chengyi, contacted the Qin family elders via video call.
The man expressed his wish for his son to have a temporary stay at the Qin family’s home in a humble manner:
“Mr.
Qin, Mrs.
Qin, I know it’s quite presumptuous to ask this.
Yet, I can’t bear to let my Xiaoting be disappointed.
My wife passed away early, and I, as a man busy with work, haven’t had time to accompany my son.
He has been quite lonely since he was little.
This is the first time he has taken the initiative to say that he has a friend he wants to make, and I, as a father, really can’t bear to refuse him.”
