"Why Lu Lijun is so different. Just before breakfast when we were talking, he was a sweet kid who was smiling and on the dining table he was so cold and different," Jiang Yuyan asked.
"This is how he is Yuyan. He is a gifted child and he is smarter than the kids of his age." Lu Qiang replied.
"Yeah that can be the case but how come I feel like he is really different as in… I don't know how to explain it," Jiang Yuyan said with so many things going on in her mind but she couldn't understand what was bothering her.
"You would be able to relate to him," Lu Qiang said that made her ask him back, "Me?"
Lu Qiang nodded and replied, "Hmm! Because most of the time both of you are the same. The only difference is that you are an adult and he is still young so he doesn't know how to mold himself according to people around even though he tries to do so."
"But I never behaved coldly like him," Jiang Yuyan tried to defend herself.
Lu Qiang didn't say anything and looked at her with the questioning site.
She understood what he was talking about. She too had a cold side that she always tried to hide from others and now Lu Qiang had mentioned it, she felt speechless as she never wanted to accept it.
Just then the car arrived. Seeing her speechless, Lu Qiang didn't say anything that she won't like to hear and said, "I will leave now. It's time."
"But….."
"There is nothing to be worried about him. He is a normal kid but his emotions and thinking keep changing according to the situation as I told you he is a very smart kid, not easy to fool. I will tell you everything when we are free and not in any kind of hurry." Saying it, Lu Qiang kissed her on the forehead and said, "See you in the evening."
Sitting in the car he left while Jiang Yuyan was looking at his car till it disappeared from her sight.
"Elder brother left so no need to stand here." Lu Lijun was standing behind her with one jar in his hand.
Jiang Yuyan turned to look at him and said, "Hmm! I was about to go inside." Her sight fell on the jar in his hands and she asked, "What is this?"
"I am going to the pond to feed the fish and this is the food," Lu Lijun replied.
"That's nice."
"Do you want to join?" Lu Lijun asked.
"Sure," She replied.
Both went to the pond in the garden that was surrounding the gazebo in the center. Reaching to the pond, both stood there looking at the fish.
"They are all so pretty."
"Hmm!" Nodding calmly he sat down and sat on the small rock that was carved in the small bench so that one can sit on it. Keeping the Jar in his hands to one side, he opened it and said, "You can give them food too."
Smiling and feeling excited to feed fish in the pond, Jiang Yuyan sat beside him and picked up some food grains in her hand from the jar that was in between them. Lu Lijun too got some in his hands and he started to drop the food in his hand in the water. In no time, fish came and started their feast.
As the bench they were sitting was like almost touching the ground making them sit near the water so that they could see the fish clearly.
Jiang Yuyan followed what he did and poured the food in her hand in a pond, little by little.
"They seem hungry." Jiang Yang said.
Lu Lijun nodded, "Hmm! They are."
Seeing so many pretty fish in the pond, Jiang Yuyan asked excitedly, "Which one is your favorite among all these?"
"The one I like a lot never come out so easily. She is a bit stubborn," Lu Lijun replied.
Jiang Yuyan laughed to hear it. "Haha! How can that be? Isn't she hungry?"
"I don't know but she is stubborn and I always have to wait for her to come out," Lu Lijun replied.
"Does she come out then?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
Lu Lijun nodded having the same calm expressions since the start. "Hmm! But she takes too much time."
Jiang Yuyan looked at him who was focused on his work with a serious expression on his face and asked, "She? How do you know that the fish is- she?" Jiang Yuyan found it amusing to see his dedication and patience for just one little fish.
"Because only girls can be this annoying," Lu Lijun replied while still focused on feeding the fish not even looking at her.
Jiang Yuyan looked at the pond and asked casually, "If she is annoying why do you wait for her?"
"Because I like her and once I like someone, I never let them go."
Those were mere simple words but Jiang Yuyan could feel the weight of those words. Looking at him, she said "Hmm! That was so intense."
Lu Lijun didn't react to it as if he didn't hear her and continued his work but Jiang Yuyan wanted to know more about what exactly was there inside in his mysterious mind.
Seeing him still calm, Jiang Yuyan asked, "Tell me what do you like about her?"
"She is pretty and mysterious and not like the other fish in the pond who are happy for no reason," Lu Lijun replied
Jiang Yuyan was now curious to see the fish and asked while staring at the pond, "Is she here?"
"Not yet," He replied.
"So will you weight for her?"
Lu Lijun nodded. "Hmm!"
All the fish present there finished eating and went away but the one Lu Lijun was weighting for was not there yet. He was sitting there silently looking at the pond weighting for her to come and he was still calm.
