Still a little worried, Lanling was afraid that Pei Luo might disturb Lu Mingshi, so she brought up a fruit platter to see how they were getting along.

Ying Yuchuan mentioned some of Lu Luozhi's situation to her.

The siblings had always lived in the village. After their parents died in a car accident, they lived with their grandparents. The four of them depended on each other until their grandparents passed away one after another, leaving only the siblings to depend on each other.

They did a lot of hard work to earn money for their grandmother's medical treatment.

She knew all of this.

I remember that day, when he came home from school and learned that they were his sister's biological parents, he was shocked.

In fact, he had known for a long time that his sister was not his parents' biological child, but he had never said anything and had kept it a secret until now.

The more she spent time with the child, the more she felt that he was very sensible and kind.

She has also been thinking about how to make up for the Lu family's care for Luozhi over the years.

She was truly grateful to them.

If they hadn't taken the basket home, who knows what kind of terrible situation she would have faced?

She had asked Lu Mingshi a few days ago if he needed anything, but he politely declined.

He seems to want nothing.

"May I come inside?"

When Lanling arrived at Lumingshi's room, she politely knocked on the door.

The door was only half-closed, not completely shut, until Lu Mingshi called out that he was coming in, and then she pushed the door open.

She saw two tall boys sitting on a mat by the bed, putting together a Lego set taller than a person.

"Have some fruit."

There were five kinds of fruit cut into pieces on the exquisite fruit platter. Bluebell placed the fruit platter on the ground in the middle of them and looked at the Lego with curiosity.

"Pei Luo, what is this?"

"It's a violent bear."

As Lu Ming answered, he took a piece of mango from the fruit plate and put it in his mouth.

"Ah, what a sweet mango."

Lanling smiled. "Mingshi likes mangoes, right? Then next time, order more mangoes."

She added, "Or if there's anything you want to buy, you can tell me."

He was about the same age as Pei Luo, and she could treat him as another son.

I don't need anything for now.

Lu Mingshi shook his head, "Besides, if I want something, I can just ask my older sister, and she will buy it for me. Aunt Lan, you don't need to worry about it."

Look.

What a sensible child.

The Lu family taught him very well.

However, she couldn't just let him get away with it like that. The Pei family owed the Lu family a favor that they could never repay.

"Pei Luo, are you really going to stay here tonight?"

She then asked Pei Luo.

"Yes, Mom, I want to stay here."

Pei Luo nodded, bravely expressing her opinion.

"Alright, you guys have fun."

At that time, Lanling didn't ask any more questions. Since Pei Luo insisted, she would just let him be.

"Don't stay up too late, take a shower and go to bed early."

After giving her instructions, she left, letting the two boys have their fun.

As soon as she closed the door, Lu Mingshi lay sprawled on the floor and said, "Actually, your mom is very good to you, so why are you acting so indifferent?"

Really? Is that good?

Is it good?

Pei Luo lowered her eyes and placed a building block on it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, he casually nudged him with his toe.

"You can't do this. I can only talk to my mom at her grave. Your mom is right here in front of me, and you're still acting like this. There's no such thing as a mother and son holding a grudge overnight. Do you feel that your mom is too concerned about my older sister and is neglecting you?"

He's had similar feelings before.

His parents were so good to his older sister that he was a little envious when he was only a few years old, but he soon got over it.

His older sister always shares half of her favorite food with him, and she stands up for him if anyone bullies him. She treats him incredibly well.

He remained silent, and Lu Mingshi knew he was right.

He didn't continue the topic. "By the way, smell my feet and see if they smell like dog poop."

He actually presented his toes to Pei Luo.

Pei Luo opened her eyes wide and shrank back.

"I don't have athlete's foot, you don't need to be so afraid."

Pei Luo: "...But your feet smell a bit."

He was just telling the truth, but to Lu Mingshi, it was an unacceptable statement.

He exclaimed, "Stinky feet?"

He hugged his toes and sniffed them. "It must be that pile of dog poop, it must be!"

He would never admit that his feet smell.

I walked so much today, what's wrong with smelling a bit?

Humph.

Brother Pei isn't very good at this.

Pei Luo watched his actions, a smile secretly tugging at the corners of her lips.

He's so funny.

Any little gesture can bring joy to someone.

However, when it was time to sleep that night, Pei Luo regretted sharing a bed with Lu Mingshi.

He glanced at the skinny leg that was casually draped over his stomach and sighed deeply in his heart.

Why is he such a terrible sleeper? Suddenly a foot came crashing down on him, almost causing him to bleed internally. He's not some kind of pillow!
