What surprised Lu Sheng wasn’t the expensive, rare items in the living room.
It was that when she looked up, she saw Jiang Ting and her eldest, second, third, fourth, and fifth brothers standing in the living room.
Each of them was holding a gift box tied with an exquisite bow. At the far end stood Li Muchen, holding Black Bean, whom she hadn’t seen for days.
"Mom...?"
"Big brother, second brother, third brother?"
At first, Lu Sheng thought she was seeing things.
After all, she was planning to go back to Jiang City today to see Jiang Ting and her three brothers.
But unexpectedly, the people she wanted to see were standing not far from her, and seeing her appear, they all smiled brightly.
The joy of seeing long-missed family made Lu Sheng’s heart pound with excitement.
She had long considered these people her closest family and most important people, so Lu Sheng was genuinely happy.
"Big brother—"
Lu Sheng’s eyes glittered like stars as she lifted her dress and made a light run, first throwing herself into Lu Jingyan’s arms.
Dressed in a suit, Lu Jingyan was immediately embraced by his jubilant sister.
Though he always wore a serious expression, being hugged by his sister now, the happiness was almost spilling from Lu Jingyan’s mouth.
With one arm holding Lu Sheng, he rubbed her head with the other, but habitually nagged like an old father.
"You’re wearing a skirt, running like that affects your image."
"And those high heels, what if you sprain your ankle running?"
"How did you lose weight these days outside, have you not been eating well? Let big brother take a look..."
Before Lu Jingyan could finish, Lu Sheng was passed to the outstretched arms of Lu Ziye.
"In front of us, what’s there for Shengsheng to worry about image? Big brother, you’re becoming more like a mother hen," Lu Ziye teased.
Lu Ziye never hid his affection for his sister, directly kissed Lu Sheng on her cheek, his peach blossom eyes smiling, "Happy birthday, sweetheart. Seeing third brother makes you happy, right? Our little princess looks beautiful today."
"Of course, very happy."
Lu Sheng looked at Lu Ziye. Her third brother had been busy filming all summer, and she hadn’t seen him for several months, so she asked, "Third brother, aren’t you filming? How come you have time to come to Beijing?"
"What film can compare in importance to my dear sister?" Lu Ziye pinched Lu Sheng’s cheek, very seriously saying, "Today’s Shengsheng’s birthday, even the biggest job must step aside."
After being held by her third brother, Lu Sheng stepped out of his embrace and looked at Lu Siyan standing next to him.
Among her five brothers, Lu Siyan was always the most reserved in expressing emotions.
But Lu Sheng knew, although second brother seemed very aloof, he was inherently gentle; he just wasn’t used to expressing his feelings.
After all, whenever anything happened at home, second brother was always the first to come back. If she felt a little unwell, second brother was more concerned than anyone else.
Second brother’s love was never less than any other brother’s.
So Lu Sheng reached out to Lu Siyan, her eyes filled with a smile: "Second brother, I want a hug."
Seeing his sister happily hug their big brother and third brother, Lu Siyan also wished to hug his sister.
But he was used to being reserved and couldn’t bring himself to do something so bold.
Nonetheless, upon hearing Lu Sheng’s request, Lu Siyan immediately wrapped his sister in a hug. The familiar clean and pleasant cedar scent of second brother wafted over, like the scent of home.
"Good girl."
