Jiang Linwan also noticed that their posture was somewhat ambiguous. Her cheeks burned, and she subconsciously tried to shrink back, but Lu Qiyue gripped her shoulders tightly, not giving her any chance to retreat.
On the other side, Song Manru was still waiting for Lu Qiyue at the school gate, holding Song Zixuan's hand.
"Zixuan's mom, it's so windy, why don't you take your child home quickly? Are you waiting for someone?" one of the teachers asked as they passed by.
Upon hearing this, Song Manru looked proud and pinched Song Zixuan's shoulder hard.
Song Zixuan's face scrunched up in pain, and she said timidly, "We're waiting for Daddy Lu. Daddy Lu said he'd pick me up from school."
"Dad Lu?" the female teacher asked, somewhat puzzled.
Song Manru exclaimed "Oh!" and said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Commander Lu has a wife, so he can't be your father."
That's all in the past; we can't talk about it anymore.
Her words were ambiguous, causing many parents picking up their children to stop in their tracks.
Isn't Lu Tuan Dr. Jiang's man? How did he become this woman's man again? Could it be that Lu Tuan is on his second marriage?
I've never heard of Lu Tuanjie being married before. Is he divorced? And his child is already so big?
The fishermen of Dayu Island really didn't know any of this. They only knew that Lu Tuan had made countless contributions at a young age, captured spies, and saved many fishermen and civilians. He even went to sea and suffered serious injuries for the sake of these people.
He said he would never have children in his life, and everyone used to feel sorry for Lu Tuan, that he was so young but could not have offspring.
I never imagined my child would be so big now.
As Song Manru listened to the people's comments, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
As time passed, fewer and fewer people were around, leaving only Song Manru and Song Zixuan's frail figures standing shivering in the strong wind.
The raindrops fell lightly, and although they were small, they persisted for a long time, and both of their clothes were mostly wet.
Song Zixuan's teeth chattered from the cold as he cautiously looked at Song Manru: "Mom, is Uncle Lu not coming?"
Song Manru looked aggrieved, but when she heard Song Zixuan's words, her face turned ferocious. She slapped him hard on the head and said, "Shut up! How many times have I told you to call me Daddy Lu? Daddy Lu!"
If I ever hear you call someone "Uncle Lu" again, you won't get any food today or tomorrow.
"Don't hit Mom, I know I was wrong," Song Zixuan cried out in terror, clutching his head.
Since they were outside, Song Manru quickly stopped. After more than an hour, Lu Qiyue still hadn't come. Knowing he wouldn't, Song Manru angrily dragged Song Zixuan towards home.
As soon as she left, a figure emerged from behind a large tree on the side. Watching Song Manru leave, the man turned and disappeared as well.
Meanwhile, the young man who was originally assigned to pick up Song Zixuan had just finished eating in the cafeteria when he suddenly remembered this matter. He exclaimed "Oh dear!" and quickly ran towards the school, but when he arrived, there was no one there anymore.
Song Manru returned home with a resentful look on her face. As soon as she arrived at her door, her neighbor said sarcastically, "Manru, didn't you say that Lu Tuan went to pick you and your son up?"
"Where are you? Look, you and your son are both soaking wet. Did the Lu detachment not come to pick you up?"
Hearing this, Song Manru's anger flared even more. She sent Song Zixuan home without even cooking dinner, and rushed to Lu Qiyue's house, just in time to see Lu Qiyue taking Jiang Linwan to work.
He charged straight at the two of them, his face full of anger: "Lu Qiyue, didn't you promise to pick me and Zixuan up?"
Do you know that we waited for you in the rain for almost two hours? Zixuan's health isn't good to begin with..."
Song Manru started crying as she spoke.
Lu Qiyue frowned: "Didn't I send Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang to pick you up?"
"Nobody went at all. Zixuan and I haven't eaten since we started waiting for you. He even got caught in the rain, and I'm worried he'll get a fever again," Song Manru said, feeling aggrieved.
"I'm going to be late for work soon, could you please take Zixuan to school for me?" Song Manru looked at him with red eyes.
Lu Qiyue nodded.
Song Manru's face lit up with joy, and she wanted to go back with Lu Qiyue again.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qiyue looked at Jiang Linwan and said, "Don't you start work at 2:30? It's still early. Come with me, and we can check on Zixuan to make sure he doesn't catch a cold."
"Okay, sure." Jiang Linwan checked the time and realized it was still early, so she agreed immediately.
Song Manru's smile vanished abruptly, and she stared intently at Jiang Linwan, wishing she could tear her apart.
Upon arriving at the Song family's courtyard, Song Manru quickly went inside and gave Song Zixuan a wink. Song Zixuan swayed as he went out the door, and upon seeing Lu Qiyue, his eyes widened in surprise.
She hugged Lu Qiyue's legs tightly, and the next second she collapsed limply onto his lap: "Daddy Lu..."
Lu Qiyue reached out and pulled the person into his arms, preventing him from falling.
Song Manru was overjoyed. She hadn't expected this brat to be somewhat useful; his acting skills were quite good for such a young age.
Lu Qiyue looked at Song Zixuan's flushed face, reached out and touched his head. The burning heat made him frown: "Zixuan has a fever."
"You go to work first, Lin Wan and I can handle things here."
Song Manru looked unwilling. She had been tricked into going with her to take Song Zixuan to school, but she never expected that the brat would be so useless as to get a fever.
However, a glint of light quickly appeared in her eyes: "I'll take half a day off this afternoon. I won't feel at ease even if I go to work while Zixuan has a fever."
"Dr. Jiang, I'm really sorry to trouble you. Zixuan has a high fever, I'll take him to get a fever-reducing injection."
Jiang Linwan nodded. Traditional Chinese medicine is indeed slower to absorb than Western medicine, and in cases of high fever, it is indeed more appropriate to use Western medicine to reduce the fever first.
"Then I'm going to work," she said, looking at Lu Qiyue.
Lu Qiyue originally wanted to take her there, but Song Manru took Song Zixuan from his hands and deliberately let her hand slip, causing Song Zixuan to almost fall to the ground.
"Zixuan has grown taller and heavier recently," Song Manru explained with a sigh.
"Then I'll take Zixuan to the hospital first, you go to work by yourself." After saying that, Lu Qiyue picked up Song Zixuan and strode away.
Song Manru turned her head and glanced triumphantly at Jiang Linwan before catching up with Lu Qiyue: "Qiyue, thank you so much."
Zixuan has been saying he misses you a lot lately. Could you have dinner with him tonight?
"He doesn't have a father, and he's been treating you like one all these years." Before Song Manru could finish speaking, Lu Qiyue interrupted her sharply: "Comrade Song, I'm already married. Please watch your words."
If you want to find a father for Zixuan, I can introduce you to a few potential partners.
He paused, then said, "If you can't take good care of Zixuan, you can hand him over to Jiang Xun's family to take care of."
"Qiyue, you promised Jiang Xun that you would help my son and me, but you changed your mind so soon after Jiang Xun left."
I just noticed that Zixuan seems to miss you a lot lately, and I'd like you to have a meal with him. If you don't want to, that's fine too.
How could you say such hurtful things? Zixuan is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. No one can take him away from me. Song Manru looked even more pitiful with red eyes.
Song Zixuan weakly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Qiyue, whispering, "Dad Lu, I'm sorry."
