FV: Chapter 119

The fragile Lin Luoqing changed into clothes that covered his collarbone so that his kiss marks wouldn’t be seen by the two children who were still pure and flawless. Then he pushed Ji Yuxiao, who had also changed his clothes, and went downstairs to eat.

He reached the end of the corridor and habitually went to look for Lin Fei and Ji Leyu.

There was no one in Ji Leyu’s room. It was obvious that he should be in Lin Fei’s room.

Lin Luoqing walked to Lin Fei’s door and knocked. Then he opened the door and looked in. The two children were sitting at the desk. Lin Fei was reading and Ji Leyu was doing homework.

Ji Leyu was pleasantly surprised when seeing him push open the door and walk in. “Dad.”

Lin Luoqing smiled. “You are reading. Then read it carefully.”

“Dad, why did you wake up so late?” Ji Leyu left the desk and ran to him, looking at him curiously.

Lin Fei also walked over, as if a bit worried about him.

Lin Luoqing didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Ji Yuxiao appeared next to him and explained. “Your father was too tired from work the other day. He finally got to rest yesterday and slept a bit more. This is why he woke up late.”

Lin Luoqing nodded immediately. “Yes.”

Ji Leyu found it strange. “Dad also slept in.”

Ji Yuxiao was straightforward. “Why can’t Dad sleep in? Only you are allowed to sleep in?”

“So you slept in with Dad?”

“Can’t I?”

Ji Yuxiao spoke like a mischievous child. “Okay, you and Dad can do anything.”

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…I feel guilty for some reason.’

“Have you and Fei Fei eaten already?” He quickly changed the subject.

“Yes, Uncle Xiao Li bought us lunch.”

“That’s good,” Lin Luoqing said.

“Dad, you haven’t eaten. Go eat.”

“Then study well.” Lin Luoqing touched his head.

“I got it,” Ji Leyu said proudly. “I’ve almost finished my homework.”

“Then you are very incredible~”

Ji Leyu nodded proudly, without any humility.

Ji Yuxiao saw him like this and laughed. “You can still nod. It is thanks to Fei Fei that you can finish your homework so quickly. You would only finish it tomorrow night if it wasn’t for Fei Fei supervising you.”

“Then I’ll finish writing it now.”

“So in addition to your own greatness, there is the credit for Fei Fei. You have to remember your brother’s goodness. Listen to him in the future and help him when he has any problems, understood?”

Ji Leyu nodded. “Yes.”

Ji Yuxiao praised him. “You are really good.”

He praised Ji Leyu and went on to praise Lin Fei. “It is due to your hard work that Xiao Yu can finish his homework quickly. Fei Fei, you have worked hard.”

Lin Fei didn’t feel any hardship. “He was very good today.”

Ji Leyu agreed. “I’m well-behaved every day.”

Lin Fei, who was familiar with his true face, “……”

Lin Luoqing, who was also familiar with his true face, “……”

Ji Yuxiao was the only one who didn’t know his true face and really thought he was well-behaved. “Yes, our Xiao Yu is well-behaved every day. Dad knows this.”

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Sometimes, not knowing was a type of happiness.

Lin Luoqing, Ji Yuxiao and the two children finished talking and went downstairs to eat.

Ji Leyu was a bit curious about what the two of them were eating. He finished answering two questions before suggesting to Lin Fei, “Shall we go down and see what Dad is eating? We can also talk to them for a while.”

“Do you want to eat?” Lin Fei hit the nail on the head.

Ji Leyu held his little head. “If there is something I like then I will eat a bit.”

“Then you go.”

“You go too.” Ji Leyu pulled him. “Let’s go. You can come back later and read it again. I promise to come back soon. Once I come back, I will obediently finish the rest.”

Lin Fei was helpless. He had to put down the book and go downstairs with him.

Ji Yuxiao had sent a message to Xiao Li as early as when Lin Luoqing woke up again, so Xiao Li had bought a meal and sent it in.

Ji Yuxiao was worried since Lin Luoqing had just experienced sleeping together last night. He thought Lin Luoqing wouldn’t be able to eat spicy food, so he let Xiao Li buy a lot of Cantonese-style refreshments, as well as porridge and soup.

Lin Luoqing liked to eat soup, so he put the porridge aside and ate shrimp dumplings, chicken feet and siu mai while drinking the soup.

Seeing this, Ji Yuxiao drank the porridge himself and left the soup to him.

Ji Leyu and Lin Fei entered the dining room and saw the food placed in front of Lin Luoqing.

Lin Luoqing looked at the two of them and asked, “Why did you come down? Do you want to eat?”

Ji Leyu nodded and said sweetly, “Dad, can I eat one of your shrimp dumplings?”

“Eat it,” Lin Luoqing said with a smile.

Ji Leyu happily pulled Lin Fei to sit opposite Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao. He took a shrimp dumpling and ate it with a puffed face like a little squirrel.

Lin Luoqing looked at his bulging little face and felt that children were cute. They were cute when they ate.

He also gave one to Lin Fei. “Fei Fei, you can try it.”

Lin Fei actually wasn’t too hungry, but Lin Luoqing gave it and he took it. “One is enough.”

“Okay.”

Ji Leyu was gluttonous but he couldn’t bear it when his stomach was already full. He ate two or three refreshments to taste them and didn’t eat any longer. He sat and talked to Lin Luoqing.

Lin Luoqing drank three bowls of soup in a row before he was satisfied. He sighed. “Their soup is quite delicious.”

Ji Yuxiao didn’t hesitate. “Then let Xiao Li buy it for you next time.”

Lin Luoqing smiled. He felt that Xiao Li, who was both a driver and a delivery boy, really had several jobs.

He pushed the last bowl of soup to Ji Yuxiao. “You taste it. Don’t you like soup? You haven’t drunk any this entire time.”

“I’m full,” Ji Yuxiao said calmly. “Keep it. You can drink it later when you are hungry.”

Seeing this, Lin Luoqing didn’t force it any longer.

Ji Leyu secretly smiled. Lin Luoqing looked at him and Ji Leyu immediately covered his mouth and jumped off the chair. “I’m full. I’m going back to the room to do my homework. Dad, you eat slowly.”

Ji Yuxiao laughed at him. “You are actually taking the initiative to do homework.”

“Of course, I’m so well-behaved.” He finished speaking and went to Lin Fei. “Let’s go, Brother.”

Lin Fei looked at Lin Luoqing. “Then we’re going.”

“Go,” Lin Luoqing said.

Ji Leyu thought of something. He poked his head out behind Lin Fei and asked, “Shall we sleep together tonight?”

Lin Luoqing nodded. “Yes.”

Ji Leyu got the answer he wanted and was happy. He pulled Lin Fei and happily walked out.

It wasn’t until he left the dining room that Lin Fei asked him, “Why were you smiling just now?”

After he asked, Ji Leyu smiled again.

“My uncle likes soup.”

Lin Fei didn’t react.

Ji Leyu sighed while feeling that he wasn’t very smart at this time. “My mother likes to eat kiwi fruit. Every time my father is around, he will peel it for her first and he will only eat it when she has eaten enough.”

Lin Fei understood. “So your uncle thinks my uncle likes it and wants to leave it for my uncle.”

Ji Leyu nodded.

He walked to the stairs and took Lin Fei’s hand in a good mood. He jumped up the stairs one by one.

Lin Fei was worried he would fall and could only go up after he jumped a step and held his hand.

He saw the relaxed smile on Ji Leyu’s face and asked him, “Do you miss your parents?”

“Yes.” Ji Leyu jumped up a new step and looked back at him. “Don’t you miss your mother?”

Lin Fei didn’t speak but he naturally missed her.

“My parents are the best and happiest parents in the world. So I want Dad and Dad to be the happiest fathers in the world,” he said softly.

His eyes were clear, full of anticipation and blessing.

Lin Fei saw it and suddenly felt he was very cute.

He had many shortcomings and a bad personality, but occasionally, he was really cute, especially cute.

Lin Fei went up the stairs, stood beside Ji Leyu and touched his head. “Yes.”

Lin Luoqing didn’t realize until the end of the meal that today’s meal wasn’t spicy at all. It was all very light.

Perhaps Ji Yuxiao considered what happened last night so he especially let Xiao Li buy this. He was quite careful. Lin Luoqing thought so and the little sparrow in his heart jumped up again. He couldn’t help being happy.

He turned to look at Ji Yuxiao. “Are you going back to the study or the bedroom?”

Ji Yuxiao thought about it before replying, “Go back to the room.”

“Okay,” Lin Luoqing replied.

He cleaned up the dining table, put the unfinished food, soup and porridge into the refrigerator. Then he pushed Ji Yuxiao into the elevator.

The two of them went back to the bedroom together. The sun was very good and the balcony was bright. The two pots of cacti on the balcony were green and verdant.

Lin Luoqing walked over, looked at the soil of the cactus, took out a small watering can and prepared to water the cactus.

Ji Yuxiao watched quietly.

He watched Lin Luoqing spray water on the cactus and slowly moved down, spraying it on the soil in a patient and gentle manner.

The two pots of cacti were given to them by Lin Fei. One was a bit taller and the other was a bit lower. Put together, they were like lovers accompanying each other.

“Our cacti should bloom before Fei Fei and Xiao Yu’s cacti,” Lin Luoqing said in a low voice. “At that time, we can let Xiao Yu see it. He hasn’t seen a cactus bloom yet.”

Ji Yuxiao heard him talk about Ji Leyu and what he had been thinking about since the morning came back to him again.

He felt that he should tell Lin Luoqing something. At the very least, he should let Lin Luoqing know why he was willing to marry him.

If there was no affection between them and if they hadn’t taken that step last night, he could indeed hide it from Lin Luoqing. After all, they both knew that they didn’t get married out of love.

However, now they were different from what they were in the beginning.

He had never used anyone in his life. He had clear love and hate with people and was frank. He owed nothing to anyone.

It was only with Lin Luoqing that he had been indebted since the moment they met.

He used Lin Luoqing to strengthen his self-defeated personality and used him to paralyze all those secretly watching him. He put Lin Luoqing on the opposite side of his father and the rest of the Ji family from the beginning.

Therefore, it was difficult for Lin Luoqing to get the approval of his parents and the warmth of his relatives.

It was fortunate that Lin Luoqing didn’t care about this and stood by his side every time, or it would be too unfair to Lin Luoqing.

Ji Yuxiao had always avoided thinking about this before. Every time he thought about it, he wanted to treat Lin Luoqing a bit better.

In the final analysis, it didn’t matter how good he was to Lin Luoqing and how much he gave. He still used Lin Luoqing.

He hated being used the most in his life and he never used others. It was only this one time and he was using someone he liked.

His heart was inevitably flustered. He was afraid that Lin Luoqing would be uncomfortable after finding out and afraid that he would be angry. However, Ji Yuxiao didn’t want to continue to deceive him.

Lin Luoqing trusted him so much that he would rather be blindfolded to take care of his self-esteem and pride. The further Ji Yuxiao went with him, the more he couldn’t continue to deceive Lin Luoqing like this. He would feel unbearable, despicable and that he wasn’t worthy of Lin Luoqing.

Lin Luoqing finished the watering and stood up. He saw that Ji Yuxiao had his eyes lowered and it wasn’t known what he was thinking.

“What’s wrong?” He approached.

Ji Yuxiao looked up at him with deep eyes.

Lin Luoqing didn’t quite understand. “Is there something wrong?”

Ji Yuxiao didn’t speak and just stared at him in a quiet and fixed manner.

It lasted a long time until Lin Luoqing was a bit embarrassed by his stare. Ji Yuxiao reached out and placed an arm around his waist, hugging him and taking him into his arms. Then he had Lin Luoqing sit on his lap.

He hugged this person very tightly and placed his chin on Lin Luoqing’s shoulder. It was a very intimate posture, ambiguous and gentle.

Lin Luoqing’s heart jumped and the hand holding the watering can tightened a bit.

He looked down at the watering can in his hand while feeling that a crack seemed to open in his heart. Sugar slowly seeped in, the stickiness making his heart sweet.

This feeling was new and complicated for him.

It was like an elementary school student falling in love and was happy with a hug. It was like the ambiguous period where he thought over and over all day if this person liked him or not. How much did this person like him and did this person like him in particular? However, perhaps it was because they had already done the most intimate thing that he felt like he had entered a period of love in advance. He wanted to be next to Ji Yuxiao, wanted to look at him and be intimate with him.

In fact, he wasn’t like this before, Lin Luoqing thought. He wouldn’t be so embarrassed every time, his heartbeat wouldn’t speed up and he wouldn’t blush. Now he seemed out of control.

He couldn’t help his heartbeat every time Ji Yuxiao did something casually. Even if he did nothing and just stared, Lin Luoqing would feel embarrassed and a bit ashamed.

It was very strange but due to the sweetness in his heart, he couldn’t help liking it and being intoxicated by it.

Lin Luoqing silently raised his left hand and covered Ji Yuxiao’s hand that was holding him. He held Ji Yuxiao’s fingers.

Ji Yuxiao grabbed his hand and rubbed it against the side of his face.

Lin Luoqing looked back at him and saw Ji Yuxiao smile at him. He couldn’t restrain his heartbeat again and his eyes lit up. They seemed to be filled with light.

His eyes were clear and shone brightly, showing his mood. Even if he didn’t say anything, Ji Yuxiao knew he wanted a kiss. He kissed Lin Luoqing very tenderly, gently hugging and kissing him.

Lin Luoqing slowly leaned into his arms, kissing him sweetly and intimately.

He wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He leaned against Ji Yuxiao’s shoulder after a kiss, clinging to him like a pearl in a clamshell, reluctant to leave.

Ji Yuxiao felt that he was really simple and immature when it came to this type of thing. He was obedient and wouldn’t hide it.

He was obviously a very bright and independent person usually, but he was very soft when it came to love. He couldn’t wait to write his attachment on his face and wasn’t afraid the other person would eat him because of this.

He was too clean and pure, but also rare.

Ji Yuxiao touched his chin. Lin Luoqing looked at him and Ji Yuxiao kissed him on the lips before whispering, “Qing Qing, I want to tell you something. Listen to me and don’t feel bad, okay?”

Lin Luoqing was puzzled. “Did you do anything that made me uncomfortable?”

Ji Yuxiao looked at him, not daring or willing to answer this question.

Lin Luoqing was puzzled. What was there to tell him at this time that would make him feel bad? With Ji Yuxiao’s personality, what could he do?

Didn’t he always think about Lin Luoqing and couldn’t wait to let Lin Luoqing take advantage of everything?

Could this still make him uncomfortable?

This was…?

He thought and thought about it. Suddenly, he thought of something and grabbed Ji Yuxiao’s collar with round eyes. “Do you want to tell me that the previous physical examination report is fake and you actually feel uncomfortable?!”

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

Ji Yuxiao hadn’t expected him to think of this aspect.

He took Lin Luoqing’s hand that was holding his collar and kissed him. “Dear, I’m very touched that you care so much about my body but can’t you have a bit of confidence in your husband’s body?”

“Based on my appearance last night, do you think I am uncomfortable?”

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…He really didn’t look uncomfortable. He looked too comfortable!’
