Chapter 646: Leading astray

Lu Jingying discovered that Lucas's condition was a little abnormal these two days.

In the past, he was always introverted, calm and collected, and would never speak first when something happened.

Recently, he has been very keen on expressing his ideas and even talks more.

He would forward her interesting videos he saw on his phone and share with her what he saw and heard that day.

Even his standard way of speaking became much more casual and natural.

Lu Jingying was a little uncomfortable with this, as if she was watching a child grow up and suddenly become a stranger in a very short period of time.

But she couldn't stop Lucas from doing this. After all, what he did couldn't be wrong, right?

Lu Jingying does have strict requirements for Lucas and sets various rules for him, but those "requirements" and "rules" all have reasons.

Lucas has to go home early because there is a news report about a robbery nearby.

Because Lucas has been suffering from stomach discomfort recently, he has to avoid eating out recently.

She always does this. Lu Jingying wants to give her child the correct education and make sure he does not deviate from the right track in life.

Although sometimes there may be some personal tendencies involved, it is natural - the upbringing of children is always inevitably influenced by their parents.

Lu Jingying didn't want Lucas to fall into the same pit she had fallen into before, so of course she would try her best to stop some of his choices.

So, facing Lucas, who had just become a little more extroverted, Lu Jingying couldn't say anything to blame him.

She had no reason to stop Lucas from sharing his happiness with her.

Rather, when Lu Jingying received the video forwarded by Lucas and heard the various experiences he recounted, her mood was a bit complicated.

Although being mature and stable is a good thing, but seeing Lucas so happy every day, how could she not be happy as a mother?

Did she restrict Lucas too much in the past, so that he lost a lot of the fun that he should have as a child?

Just as Lu Jingying had this idea, Lucas gave her a big move.

"How did you get yourself into this state!" Lu Jingying felt the veins in his temples throbbing.

Lucas looked dusty and dirty at this moment, or perhaps it would be more accurate to describe him as "black".

He and Tao Shenxing stood in the yard together. Their shoes and trouser legs were covered with mud, and the mud on their hands was dry and clumpy. A layer of dust would fall off if they rubbed their hands.

There was a lot of dust on the cheeks of both of them, making them look more like macaques than harlequin cats. Even the color of Lucas' hair was much darker.

Xiang Jiri held his forehead and looked at Tao Shenxing: "Explain it to me."

Tao Shenxing wanted to scratch his face, but when he saw that his nails were covered with dirt, he quickly retracted his hand.

"That's right. We picked a lot of vegetables before, so the land was empty. I asked my dad, and he said we could turn the land over first and then mix some fertilizer in." Tao Shenxing said.

"Lucas said he would come to help, so we went to the warehouse to look for fertilizer. The ash was on the shelf, and when we took it, we didn't expect it to be tied tightly."

"Spilled?" Xiang Jiri also had a headache.

"It spilled on us," Tao Shenxing said honestly. "We wanted to brush off the dust on our bodies, but we didn't want to waste it, so we moved to the yard to brush it off."

"After the shoot, we stood by the vegetable patch and wanted to rinse off, but the water pipe got clogged for some reason. When I checked, I got splashed with water. When Lucas went to turn off the faucet, he fell down..."

Xiang Jiri sighed and said, "Shenxing, you are eighteen years old, not eight."

"You can't blame me for this!" Tao Shenxing said confidently, "Besides, I didn't do such a stupid thing when I was eight years old!"

In fact, they were just thinking that since Lu Jingying didn't like Lucas helping Tao Shenxing, then the two of them could go farming together.

If Lu Jingying knew that Lucas was summoned by Tao Shenxing again, she would definitely be angry. It would be better to let Lucas show his ability at that time.

In the current situation, we can only say that plans cannot keep up with changes.

"Mom, don't be angry," Lucas lowered his head honestly, "I'll take a shower now."

"Of course you have to take a shower!" Lu Jingying pressed her temple, "This is too outrageous! You should have taken a shower right then!"

Tao Shenxing had to admit that Lu Jingying was right, but he and Lucas found it too funny to see each other turned into "gray men".

They even took out their cell phones and took pictures as souvenirs - sometimes the way people think is just so outrageous.

You have to take a shower anyway, so why not make good use of the present situation before taking a shower.

In fact, when they were dusting the ground in the yard, Lucas even suggested that they just lie on the ground and roll around a few times so that the dust would be spread more evenly on the ground.

This proposal was rejected by Tao Shenxing on the grounds that "this is too stupid."

It's a pity for Lucas, he always followed the rules and was a perfect and excellent child.

So when he encountered such an extreme emergency and fell into an embarrassing situation, his first reaction was not distress, but a feeling of being liberated from his perfect shell.

It's like a bird being released from a cage, its first reaction is to spread its wings.

Even if the wings are spread to their maximum, there will be no obstacles - in that case, how can you not want to know where the edge of the sky is?

However, the sky is boundless, and he cannot test it recklessly, so he just stands on the ground and beats off the dust.

As for what happened afterwards, it was really just a coincidence.

He also knew that he was too sloppy, so he ran into the bathroom first. When he came out after washing, Tao Shenxing had not yet come out of the bathroom in his room.

He planned to find Lu Jingying and let his mother see that he had washed himself clean and restored his original clean and tidy appearance, so that Lu Jingying would probably calm down.

But as soon as he walked into the living room, he heard the conversation between Lu Jingying and Xiang Jiri who were sitting on the sofa.

There was a hint of complaint in Lu Jingying's tone: "I was wondering if I was too strict with him before, but look at the result!"

Xiang Jiri comforted her: "The children didn't do it on purpose."

"If he did it on purpose, that would be terrible!" Lu Jingying immediately raised her voice, "If it wasn't for your child's suggestion, how could Lucas have thought of doing this!"

Xiang Jiri didn't agree with him this time and said, "The kids meant well and wanted to help, but they just messed things up. It's not a big deal."

Lu Jingying was not happy to hear her say this, or rather, she did not like Xiang Jiri's attitude.

It seems that no matter what happens, it is not a problem for her and she can always solve it.

Lu Jingying was both envious and powerless. She would never be able to be as calm as Xiang Jiri because she had tasted the bitterness of failure and despair.

She could only watch people like Xiang Ji Ri pass by her and stride forward, but she hesitated to move forward, afraid of the darkness ahead and not believing that she could welcome the light.

Lu Jingying's voice became a little sharper: "What do you mean it's not a big deal! If it happens once, there will be a second time. What should we do if the situation is more serious next time?"

"It's all your child's fault. He led Lucas astray!"

Lucas couldn't help it, he shouted: "Mom!"

Lu Jingying turned her head subconsciously and saw Lucas running towards her, shouting, "This is not Tao Shenxing's fault, I want to help!"

He took a breath, his tone showing unprecedented determination: "I have not been led astray. Tao Shenxing is my friend. You can't say that about him."
