FV: Chapter 125

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu had a meal. It was rare that they didn’t have a lunch break, and they instead waited for Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao to return home.

Ji Leyu was sitting on the sofa watching TV while looking outside the house from time to time.

He looked and looked, but he couldn’t see Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao.

“Why haven’t they come back yet?” Ji Leyu turned to look at Lin Fei doubtfully.

Lin Fei shook his head. “I don’t know.”

“Do elementary school parent-teacher meetings take this much time?”

He didn’t have parent-teacher meetings that took this long in kindergarten.

Lin Fei thought about it but couldn’t come up with anything. After all, Lin Luoqing didn’t go to the parent-teacher meeting during the mid-term exam. Maybe the parent-teacher meetings in elementary school were very time-consuming.

He took a strawberry, stuffed it into Ji Leyu’s mouth, and continued to watch TV.

He waited a while before there was movement at the door. Ji Leyu immediately raised his head. Then he stood up and ran excitedly. “Dad, you’re back.”

Before Lin Luoqing could even change his clothes, he heard Ji Leyu’s loud voice and felt that the child was really enthusiastic.

He changed his shoes and caught Ji Leyu, who pounced. He picked up Ji Leyu and kissed him on the face.

“Xiao Yu was so good this time. You did very well in the exam.”

“Really?” Ji Leyu asked him with a smile.

His words were a question, but there wasn’t much surprise on his face. It was as if he had already guessed the result.

Lin Luoqing poked his face. “Did you already guess that you would do well on the exam?”

“I knew the answers to all those questions.” Ji Leyu hugged his neck. “Brother told me.”

“You are really smart.” Lin Luoqing kissed him on the face.

Ji Leyu’s happy eyes curved up.

Ji Yuxiao watched it and felt relieved and delighted.

He had a low opinion of Ji Leyu’s grades, but he could accept that children of his age didn’t like to study. It wouldn’t be too late for him to study well in the future.

Yet in the end, this was his own child. Now that Ji Leyu received good grades, he couldn’t be unhappy. His eyes were particularly gentle as he looked at Ji Leyu.

Lin Luoqing held Ji Leyu and walked to the sofa. Lin Fei was still sitting on the sofa. Unlike Ji Leyu’s warm and cheerful voice, he always seemed to be calm. He was like still water, unable to have too many ripples.

Therefore, it was easy for him to be overlooked.

However, Lin Luoqing had never ignored him.

He put Ji Leyu on the sofa and stared at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

“Fei Fei, do you want to guess what place you got in the exam?” Lin Luoqing asked mysteriously.

Ji Leyu raised his hand. “He must be 1st place!”

Lin Fei was expressionless. “Yes.”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

“Can’t you be just a little bit surprised?”

Lin Fei, “???”

“Should I be a bit surprised?” He wondered doubtfully.

Ji Yuxiao smiled. “That isn’t necessary. Fei Fei is so powerful that 1st place is what he should get. What surprise is needed?”

Fei Fei thought, ‘Yes.’

Lin Luoqing was amused by his expression of ‘he is right’ and pinched Lin Fei’s face with a smile. “Not only did you get 1st place in the exam, but you also received full marks in all of them! You were the only one who achieved this result! The other children in class aren’t as good as you! You are so good!”

He finished speaking and couldn’t help rubbing his hands on Lin Fei’s soft little face.

Lin Fei was rubbed by him for a long time, and his face was rubbed red. The little face that had always been handsome due to his cold temperament inexplicably became a bit soft and cute.

He said ‘oh’ very indifferently.

Ji Leyu exclaimed, “Brother is so powerful!”

“That’s right. The teacher specifically praised your brother, and the parents of the other children in your class asked your father how your brother studies at home. They want their children to study with your brother. You can see how lucky you are, right? In the future, you must continue studying with your brother, you know?” Ji Yuxiao taught Ji Leyu.

Ji Leyu heard that the parents wanted their children to study with Lin Fei and was instantly unhappy. He hugged Lin Fei while pouting. “No, Fei Fei doesn’t want to study with them!”

“Okay.” Lin Luoqing touched his head. “It is okay for Fei Fei to only study with you.”

Ji Leyu nodded quickly. “Yes.”

He happily leaned on Lin Fei’s body, full of closeness.

Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao saw this and laughed again.

The two of them had been in a hurry to go home to see the two children and hadn’t eaten yet. However, Aunt Zhang had kept food in the back for them. She saw them returning, warmed up the food, and brought the food out.

Lin Luoqing wasn’t in a hurry to eat. He took out the papers and the book that Teacher Zhang had specially awarded to Lin Fei.

“Here, these are Fei Fei’s papers and these are Xiao Yu’s papers. There is also this…”

He handed the notebook to Lin Fei, opened the cover, and revealed the words on the title page. “Teacher Zhang specially bought this for you to reward you for your achievement. I hope you can continue to keep it.”

Lin Fei said indifferently, “Oh.”

Ji Leyu saw it and said enviously, “I don’t have one.”

“Xiao Yu, enter into the top three next time.” Lin Luoqing encouraged him. “There will be prizes awarded for the top three grades.”

Ji Leyu, “……”

Ji Leyu felt that he had enough things and there was no need for him to compete with everyone for these things.

He smiled sweetly, trying to pass through this situation with his cute smile.

Ji Yuxiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself that Ji Leyu was really like a spirit. He was so cute.

He carried Ji Leyu on his lap and kissed him. He thought that if his brother was still here, his brother would have been very happy to see Ji Leyu’s achievements and happy appearance right now.

Ji Leyu was kissed by him and felt sweet in his heart. He asked, “Dad, can we go to the movies together?”

“Of course,” Ji Yuxiao replied. “However, it was your brother who got 1st in the exam this time. We are all stained with his light, so let’s watch what your brother wants to watch. We will go together.”

Lin Fei heard this and was a bit confused. He had never paid attention to these things before. He didn’t even know what movies were coming out, let alone a movie that he wanted to see.

He subconsciously looked at Lin Luoqing, wanting to see what Lin Luoqing wanted to watch recently.

Lin Luoqing placed an arm around him and kissed his face. “Don’t worry and think about it slowly. In any case, you are on holiday, and there is still time to decide.”

Lin Fei nodded and thought to himself, ‘Once the time comes, I will see what Ji Leyu likes to watch. He has always liked watching TV and should like movies.’

Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao hugged the two children and talked for a while before finally going to eat the lunch that they had missed.

Lin Fei looked at the book in his hand and read the line: [Awarded to 1st place in the final exam: Lin Fei]

This wasn’t something Lin Luoqing bought for him, nor did he buy it with Lin Luoqing’s money. It was something he earned for himself with his grades and it belonged to him alone.

He earned it with his own skills, just like the money Lin Luoqing earned through his work.

He carefully looked at the cover of the book. The blue starry sky was painted with a hazy and dreamy sun and moon, full of mystery and yearning.

It was pretty good.

Then Lin Luoqing must also like it.

Lin Fei secretly glanced at the eating Lin Luoqing. This person was still smiling as he told Ji Yuxiao about how envious the other parents were when he went on stage to help Lin Fei receive his prize.

He looked really happy. He was happy because Lin Fei got 1st place in the exam and because Lin Fei received a prize. Lin Fei didn’t think this was something to be happy or unhappy about, but Lin Luoqing was too happy. This unexpectedly made Lin Fei a bit happy.

Lin Fei put away his notebook and test papers. Then he went to look at Ji Leyu’s test papers.

Ji Leyu trembled inexplicably. He stood up and wanted to slip away, but he was caught by Lin Fei.

“Sit down,” Lin Fei said calmly.

Ji Leyu blinked his big amber eyes, and his voice was soft. “I got 8th place in the exam.”

“Is 8th place good?”

Ji Leyu, “……”

Yes, Lin Fei didn’t even think 1st place was remarkable, let alone 8th.

“I’m a kindergarten baby who just transferred schools.” Ji Leyu’s voice became softer, pitiful and innocent.

Lin Fei knew that he was used to pretending to be pitiful, but every time he pretended to be pitiful, Lin Fei still thought he was cute.

“Let me see what you did wrong.”

Ji Leyu sighed with relief.

“Then repeat each question ten times.”

Ji Leyu, “……”

Ji Leyu instantly fell on the sofa, feeling that he was probably a dead fish.

His brother was really cruel!

How cruel! QAQ.

Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao finished their meal and were about to sleep in their bedroom for a while. Ji Leyu was also pulled by Lin Fei into his bedroom tearfully to do questions.

Ji Yuxiao thought his pitiful little appearance was extremely funny and almost laughed.

He was pitiful, but it was really funny.

Why didn’t he find that his little nephew was so pitiful and funny before? Sure enough, people needed to have an older brother—the older brother con, Ji Yuxiao thought.

Ji Yuxiao touched his little head and told him to listen to Lin Fei’s words well. Then he was pushed by Lin Luoqing into his bedroom with a smile.

Ji Leyu wanted to cry.

Lin Luoqing was busy all morning, so he was already sleepy. He changed into pajamas and lay on the bed with Ji Yuxiao.

Ji Yuxiao had slept very well over the past few days and wasn’t as sleepy as Lin Luoqing. He just hugged Lin Luoqing and lay with him. As a result, he slowly fell asleep while lying down.

By the time the two of them woke up, it was already past 4 o’clock in the afternoon.

Ji Yuxiao washed his face, kissed Lin Luoqing, and went to the study.

Lin Luoqing was still a bit dazed and didn’t want to work. He lay on his bed and played with his phone.

He was playing when he heard a knock on the door. He turned around and saw Lin Fei walking in.

Lin Luoqing put away his phone and asked him, “Is there something wrong?”

Lin Fei walked to the bed with his hands behind his back and no expression on his face.

Lin Luoqing didn’t quite understand why Lin Fei was looking for him at this time. He could only continue looking at Lin Fei and waited for him to speak.

Lin Fei was stared at intently by him and was a bit embarrassed.

His original idea was very simple. It was rare for him to get something he could get purely through his own skills, so he wanted to give it to Lin Luoqing. It was because he had never given Lin Luoqing such a gift before.

He felt that this was truly his own gift.

At this time, Lin Luoqing stared at him, and the book he was holding felt inexplicably hot. He couldn’t take it out.

“Close your eyes,” Lin Fei said softly.

Lin Luoqing raised an eyebrow. The last time he asked Lin Luoqing to close his eyes was to give him a kiss, and the other time was to give him a gift. So was this time a kiss or a gift?

Lin Luoqing didn’t know the reason why, but he closed his eyes happily and waited for the next step.

“Shut up.”

He stopped looking, so Lin Fei was no longer so embarrassed.

He took out the notebook, gently placed it on Lin Luoqing’s bedside table, and said with satisfaction, “I’m leaving.”

Lin Luoqing, “????”

Lin Luoqing was shocked. Why didn’t Lin Fei kiss him or give him a gift? This wasn’t right? Baby, why don’t you play cards according to common sense?

He immediately opened his eyes and saw that Lin Fei had actually turned around and was walking toward the door.

Lin Luoqing, “?????”

Lin Luoqing instantly got out of bed and picked Lin Fei up from behind.

“Are you leaving now? Did you come to me just to make me close my eyes and tease me?”

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei silently looked toward his bedside table.

Lin Luoqing was puzzled and followed his gaze. He saw the notebook that Lin Luoqing had given Lin Fei at noon today that was a reward from Teacher Zhang.

What else did he not understand?

“Oh~~” Lin Luoqing deliberately lengthened his tone. “I was wondering why you told me to close my eyes. It turned out to be like this.”
