Chapter 66 - A Wooden Sculpture for Children’s Day
X City slowly entered summer as the temperature got warmer. As Lu YunFei switched to short sleeves, he continued to go full throttle on English. His English scores were already starting to improve, to the point where he scored 115 for the midterm exams. Mother Lu was so touched that she gave Bian JinYuan a red packet, except that Bian JinYuan refused to accept it.
On this day, Lu YunFei and Bian JinYuan had arranged to do homework together on the weekend. After they were finished with homework, the both of them walked on the sidewalk as they headed for a meal together. As Lu YunFei walked, he noticed someone selling wooden sculptures by the bus stop.
These were simple wooden sculptures. The old man had set up a stall with a plastic sheet and had placed wooden sculptures of the twelve zodiac animals. Lu YunFei took a look and chose a sculpture of a flowering tree. He asked about its price and paid for it.
The old man asked him, “Do you want a box?”
As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from beside his stool. There were two types of boxes—one was simple with no decorations, while the other was ornate and carved with floral motifs.
Lu YunFei had bought this wooden sculpture for Lu YunShang, who liked such crafted works. She would always buy a few pieces whenever she chanced upon them. Thus, he followed her preferences to choose the decorated box and paid for that.
Bian JinYuan watched him place the tree into the box and asked, “You like this?”
“It’s alright,” Said Lu YunFei, “It’s quite pretty.”
Bian JinYuan responded with a hum and didn’t say more.
That night, Lu YunFei gave the sculpted tree to Lu YunShang who liked it very much and placed it on her desk. After gifting the wooden sculpture, Lu YunFei didn’t think much about it and put the matter aside, up until the first of June.
The first of June was a lively day, as it was Children’s Day. In the minds of students looking forward to the school holidays, they also considered themselves to be children who got to start their school holidays on the first of June. However, this was only in their fantasies.
Lu YunFei’s cousins were still young, and so they received a lot of presents on the first of June and showed them off in the family group chat. Lu YunFei saw how excited they were and gave them a few red packets to add to the festivities. As expected, the kids got even more excited and clamoured to call him gege.
“Little kids are so easy to please,” Lu YunFei said, “Sigh, it’s too bad that we’ve grown up.”
Bian JinYuan heard this and turned to look at him, “Why, do you also wish to celebrate the first of June?”
Lu YunFei shook his head, “I don’t want to celebrate the first of June, but I want to have a holiday, I want to go out to play.”
“Where to?” Bian JinYuan asked.
“Wherever is fine,” Lu YunFei said, “It’s just wishful thinking though. I’ve got to wait for the summer holidays if I want to go out to play.”
“It’s soon, just another month more.”
“It’s still another month more!” Lu YunFei said despairingly, “Moreover, I heard that there might be training classes this summer holiday? I don’t know the details, but Wen MingYi mentioned it. We’re goners if that’s true.”
Bian JinYuan saw his despondency and tried to comfort him, “Let’s think of something better. The training classes aren’t confirmed, so let’s not dwell on it.”
