Chapter 170 - He grunted like a little beast who had been attacked. (3)

“You know about Xiao Jue’s situation. You can be setting off firecrackers in front of him and he wouldn’t be scared. Nor would he notice the loud noises made by the firecrackers.”

Mother Lu said, “As such, even when grandmother had an episode in front of him, he would not see or hear it, nor would he go and get help.”

Ning Zhi pinched her lips shut reflexively, not sure what to say.

“I was upset for a while there after learning that my other had passed away. If he was a normal child, would he be able to help her or get help when my mother had her episode?

“Because of my mother’s passing, I had some negative emotions toward Xiao Jue. I only learned later that the night that my mother had passed away, Xiao Jue got lost. A servant found him in the corner of the yard. He had been in the rain for a long time and had a high fever. He almost passed out from it.”

Mother Lu had been busy with her mother’s funeral plus she had been resenting seeing her son for a little while. It had been days before she found out that Lu Jue had been sick for days and had lost so much weight that he looked like a different person.

The moment that she saw her son, Mother Lu ached so much that she could no longer ignore him or blame him.

What had he done wrong?

If he was a normal person, she could blame him for being cold and heartless, but Lu Jue was autistic. He wouldn’t even know it when he was in trouble himself. He wouldn’t ask for help for himself, let alone for someone else.

Ning Zhi’s nose tingled and her heart, too, ached. Whose fault was that?

Mother Lu wiped away the tears coming out of the corners of her eyes. “Aye. Look at me being silly. Why did I suddenly share with you something this sad?”

Ning Zhi shook her head. “I want to know more about Lu Jue’s past.”

She wanted to learn about all of these.

Chatting with Mother Lu some more, Ning Zhi returned to her room. Lu Jue was standing in front of the closet picking out the pajama that he would wear for the night.

Ning Zhi had bought him a lot of sleepwear with different prints. He had been wearing different ones every night.

Ning Zhi had just walked inside when Lu Jue reflexively looked over at her.

Lu Jue had become much better now. He would react when he heard her footsteps.

Ning Zhi walked over and pulled from his close a dark blue pajama with lots of light blue little fish prints. “Wear this one tonight.”

Lu Jue didn’t like dark blue much, as it was on the darker side. The prints on it made it barely acceptable.

Lu Jue went to shower with the pajama that Ning Zhi had picked out for him.

When he got out of shower, Ning Zhi brought him over to the walk-in closet. “Your turn to pick for me. Which dress do you want me to wear?”

Lu Jue looked at the clothes inside through the glass door. His lips pinched shut and he said nothing.

Ning Zhi looked up and, standing on her tip toes, leaned into his ear and repeated, “Which dress would you like me to wear?”

Her warm breath falling onto his ear and made his ear tingle. Lu Jue quickly pointed at one of the dresses.

Ning Zhi looked over. It was a new one that she had bought. It was a cherry pink colored dress with peach-colored floral prints. It was refreshing and very girlish.

Her eyes curved and she said, “Okay. I will wear this one tonight then.”

She will wear the dress picked out by Da Juejue to visit Xiao Juejue.

Lu Jue was stubborn and loyal. He had insisted on using the same shower gel for over 10 years. It stood to reason that his taste in what was pretty would not have changed over the years either.

“You are too tall. Lower your head,” said Ning Zhi.

Lu Jue lowered his head docilely and looked at Ning Zhi quietly.

He had just showered and there was a hint of nice shower gel fragrant coming from him. With the dark blue pajama with little fish prints along with his messy short hair and clear and handsome face, he was cute beyond words.
