Chapter 1074
At that time. Ren was doing his homework at Scarlet‘s house and the girl was so noisy that he was
annoyed.
During the afternoon, she would snatch away his ball when he was playing basketball. Not only did she
refuse to return it while hugging it, she even cried while lying on the ground like a brat!
Back then, she was only two years old, the age where even dogs found them annoying. It was her first
time rebelling, but she was not someone to mess with.
Scarlet told him that she was going to take care of the child since the parents left the country upon
receiving a job transfer at the very last minute. Meanwhile, Scarlet‘s son was taken to the army base to
be raised by his grandfather; the far distance rendered it difficult for them to meet up. Thus, she really
wished to look after the girl.
“Ren, play with me.” The little girl chased after Ren after he finished school.
Scarlet pulled her and told her, “Ruka, Ren is your Uncle. You should address him respectfully.”
From that day onward, he had a faithful shadow who imitated everything that he did; whenever he was
finishing his homework, she would sit beside him and pretend to write something on a small notebook
while reading, “Rabbit, pig... duck, baby... Done!”
However, the once puny girl, who learned new vocabularies next to him, was dating a guy right now.
Time flew by in a blink of an eye. When Ruka was still five, Ren left Scarlet‘s house to pursue his
studies abroad. He bet she did not remember anything before she turned five, but he maintained the
recollection for all of it.
“Was that your boyfriend?” He turned his head to confirm the situation.
“No. He‘s my senior.” She waved her hand.
“Are you going out with him?” he questioned further.
Her expression turned sad as she scratched her head. “Nah, we‘re just friends.”
His intense gaze fixated upon her as he claimed, “You‘re still young. You have a lot of time to find
yourself a partner.”
“You‘re right. I don‘t have plans to date one in the near future either.” She nodded like
an obedient child.
It was not that Ruka did not want to; there was a fine line between her and her senior that neither of
them crossed just yet. Moreover, it was not the time for a love confession since they only had favorable
impressions of each other.
