Chapter 810: Special Gift...
Today is Saturday and my off day but here is the surprise chapter for you all.
------
Martha and Jerome gulped as they looked at each other, while Lu Feng and Ning Jiahui left speechless.
Lu Lijun continued eating, not paying attention to other's reactions as he spoke, "Am I right, Jerome - Martha?"
"Cough!" Both left flabbergasted by their young master.
Ning Jiahui pitied the two while lu Feng felt proud of how smart his brother was.
"Still, as the mother is here, she would like to know it from you, Lu Lijun," Ning Jiahui broke that deadly silence there.
Lu Lijun gulped the food as he spoke. "There is nothing special to tell, mother. School is nice, and I have two friends. Among them, I get along well with only one, but the other one is a nuisance. That's it."
Ning Jiahui felt happy that her son at least said something, and Lu Feng thought not to trouble him much with so many questions.
After breakfast, they went to the living room where Ning Jiahui asked Jerome to bring one bag from her room.
"Everyone sent something for you. I hope you will like it," said Ning Jiahui in the hope of seeing her son smiling or at least to show he was happy.
Ning Jiahui opened the bag and pulled out the stuff one by one, telling him who had sent it.
Not saying anything, Lu Lijun accepted everything, but till the end, one person's name was missing, and he was wondering if his mother had forgotten to give him something.
"That's it, mother?" he asked.
"Yes. Do you need anything else? We can go out and buy whatever you want," Ning Jiahui suggested.
"No need, mother." He looked a bit disappointed.
Just then, Lu Feng came out of his room with two bags in his hands.
"This is from elder brother." Saying Lu Feng first gave him one bag which had the latest gaming stuff.
When Lu Lijun checked it, Lu Feng asked as he sat on the sofa, "Did you like it?"
He nodded, "Hmm!"
"There is one more thing for you." Lu Feng passed the other bag to Lu Lijun, which he accepted not expecting much from it.
Lu Lijun pulled out a black color winter coat from it, and when he opened it, he realized it was similar to the one that Jiang Yuyan once brought for his elder brother.
Staring at it for a while to check it from top to bottom, Lu Lijun shifted his sight towards Lu Feng, who felt nervous under his sharp gaze.
"Did you like it?" Lu Feng asked, clearing his throat.
"Hmm!"
"It's winter here, and soon it would be too cold once the snowfall will start, so you can use it," Lu Feng suggested as he tried to divert his brother's attention.
Lu Feng didn't want Lu Lijun to ask him if he bought it for him, and if he had asked it, then Lu Feng had to lie that he didn't want to.
"I will use it as it's such a thoughtful gift," Lu Lijun commented, and Lu Feng gave out a sigh of relief.
"How about the other gifts?" Ning Jiahui asked.
"I will use them too," Lu Lijun replied.
Jerome picked up all the stuff from there to put it into Lu Lijun's room. When he touched the black winter coat, he heard the instruction from his young master.
"Hang it on the left side of the wardrobe, which has a glass door."
"Yes, young master."
"Mother, you should rest as you must be tired after the long journey," Lu Lijun instructed.
There was a change in him as he showed concern, and his tone turned softer that melt Ning Jiahui's heart that made her smile pleasantly.
"Mother is fine the moment she saw you," Ning Jiahui said.
"Still, you should rest. We can talk later," Lu Lijun insisted, and Lu Feng agreed too. "Lu Lijun is right."
Giving up in front of them, Ning Jiahui went to her room as she thought, 'finally, he is happy. It seems like getting gifts from everyone made him happy'.
"Elder brother, you should rest too," Lu Lijun instructed.
"I don't need to. I would like to spend time with you instead," said Lu Feng as he added, "Why don't you show me this home. I can see it had built in a nice place.
Lu Lijun suggested. "Let's go upstairs then. You can see everything from there."
Both went upstairs and stood on the first floor, where they saw the beautiful view ahead through the bungalow's glass walls. "This place is nice."
"It is," Lu Lijun agreed.
"Where is your room?" Lu Feng asked. "
"Its there," Lu Lijun replied as he pointed towards the first door at the floor. "Do you want to see my room? He offered.
"Hmm, why not. Let's see how my little brother is living here," Lu Feng said.
Initially, Lu Lijun was silent, but slowly he was opening up, and Lu Feng didn't want to stop it. He talked casually with him while smiling pleasantly and followed him to his room.
Looking around the room, Lu Feng spoke, "Woo, it's good, and as usual, my brother maintained it nicely."
Lu Lijun never liked his room messy and always kept everything in the right place.
"It was already good," he commented. "From this gallery, you can see everything even better."
Lu Feng went to the vast gallery of Lu Lijun's room, which was blessed with the pleasant breeze coming from the hills, and the sound of windchime made it even enjoyable to be there.
Looking at the vast water bed ahead, Lu Feng spoke, "I am feeling like to settle here with you."
"You can." said Lu Lijun.
More than anything, Lu Feng was happy that his brother was different from how he was when he left home and finally started talking. Was it because of this place or his anger dissipate with time?
"When I am tired with everything, I will come here and stay with you," Lu Feng informed.
