A Burning Heart

Lu Gan stretched his neck to look at Lu Suo’s painting.

“That child will never be an artist… I can’t believe he didn’t inherit my brother’s drawing skills. Lu Heng even drew a portrait of his wife!”

Upon hearing that, Song Ci tried to defend Lu Suo.

“Little Suo’s painting is still cute! Look at the details! There’s Yujin’s cactus and my cake. I’m sure he put a lot of effort into it. You need to focus more on his strengths.”

!!

Lu Gan was speechless.

‘Cute? Is she blinded because she’s a mother?’

Lu Gan could not help but sigh.

“You can tell that it’s a cake?”

“Of course! To be specific, it’s a chocolate fruit cake. The yellow patches are mangoes and the red splotches with white spots are strawberries. As for the thin lines, they’re colorful candles.”

Lu Gan’s mouth twitched as he listened to Song Ci’s explanation.

“Can you really be proud of this?”

“Yes!”

Song Ci was genuinely proud.

“I’ll ask Little Suo if he’s willing to let me hang up this painting on our bedroom’s wall. If he agrees, I’ll go and buy a frame immediately.”

Lu Gan wanted to yell out, “No! Little Suo’s painting is not worthy!”

However, he had second thoughts.

‘Actually, it might not be too bad. The walls of this house are too white and empty.’

Song Ci admired Lu Suo’s painting for quite some time. After that, she moved on to Song Yujin’s gift.

‘An envelope? Did he write me a letter?’

Song Ci was a little excited. She carefully removed the sticky part, ensuring not to damage anything.

‘It’s a greeting card!’

When Song Ci opened the greeting card, she was greeted by a bright blue three-dimensional ocean.

Lu Gan was surprised.

“Wow! Yujin made this? He’s amazing!”

Song Ci was also surprised.

Such a greeting card was obviously hard to make for a child. It required a lot of effort and time. Moreover, even the slightest mistake could ruin everything.

‘Between school and homework, I don’t think Yujin has a lot of time to work on this greeting card.’

Suddenly, Song Ci remembered what happened the night before. Song Yujin would not tell her what he was doing, but everything became clear now.

Someone like Song Yujin would never show off. He liked doing things in private.

At this moment, Song Ci’s heart was burning. She looked at the greeting card in her hand.

Lu Gan continued to praise, “Yujin is truly amazing. He’s good at everything.”

Song Ci felt the same way. Her gaze shifted to the left. Song Yujin had also written a message.

[ Happy Birthday. I’m happy to have a mom like you. ]

Song Yujin’s handwriting was very neat and beautiful.

Song Ci could not help but smile. She read the message repeatedly before closing the greeting card.

‘I don’t want to get tears over it.’

Even though Song Yujin was an awkward child, he had a heart of gold.

Song Ci turned around and hugged Lu Gan. She could not stop smiling.

“I never thought they would personally make gifts for me.”
