FV: Chapter 126

Lin Fei was a bit embarrassed by his tone. He struggled in Lin Luoqing’s arms for a while and didn’t speak.

Lin Luoqing hugged him tightly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached over to take the book.

“Are you here to give me a gift?”

Lin Fei still didn’t speak.

Lin Luoqing kissed him fiercely on the cheek. “Why are you so cute? You are still saying that you are leaving. You are too cute.”

He rubbed against Lin Fei’s forehead.

Lin Fei’s ears were red from his rubbing. He turned his head and ignored Lin Luoqing.

Lin Luoqing reached out and turned his head around, letting Lin Fei look at him. “Why give me this notebook? This is Teacher Zhang’s special reward for you.”

“You don’t like it?” Lin Fei asked him.

“That isn’t that I don’t like it. This is your prize. Don’t you want to keep it for yourself?”

Lin Fei shook his head.

He had a lot of notebooks. Lin Luoqing had bought him many notebooks, and Ji Yuxiao also bought several notebooks for him later. He wasn’t short of notebooks. However, he earned this notebook by himself, and it was more special than the other notebooks. This was why he wanted to give it to Lin Luoqing as a gift.

“Then why do you want to give me this notebook?” Lin Luoqing hugged him and shook him, coaxing him softly.

How could Lin Fei tell this person his thoughts?

He always gave gifts silently and made wishes silently. He thought about it and replied, “Don’t you need to write for work? This is such a thick book, and it is just the right size to use for a long time.”

Lin Luoqing heard his words and nodded very cooperatively. “That’s right. Then I’ll take this book with me in my bag. Once I go out to work, it will be like I have you by my side. If someone sees it, I will tell them that my little nephew gave it to me as a gift. I will tell them that my nephew is well-behaved and cute, his grades are good, and he is first in class. He is super good.”

Lin Luoqing finished speaking and kissed his face.

Lin Fei was a bit happy and embarrassed by his words. He thought about how Lin Luoqing would go out to work for a long period of time while having Lin Fei’s things around to accompany him and couldn’t help smiling slightly.

Lin Luoqing saw his smile and felt that he was really cute. He kissed Lin Fei on the face again and rubbed against his face affectionately. “What should I do? I like you so much, Fei Fei. If only you could become smaller so I could put you in my pocket. Then I could take you with me whenever I go out to work.”

Lin Fei had always felt that Lin Luoqing was clingy, but once he heard this, he felt that Lin Luoqing was simply too clingy!

How could he be like this?

Wasn’t he a mature and stable adult?

Oh, he never was.

Lin Fei blushed. He reached out and pushed this person away, his voice small. “I’m going back.”

“Why are you going back?”

“I’m going to do my homework,” he answered seriously. “I haven’t finished my winter holiday homework yet.”

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…It is a holiday, my treasure. You love learning so much, and you really want to force your brother, who is tired of learning, to learn to death!’

Then he saw the seriousness in Lin Fei’s eyes and didn’t refuse him.

“Okay.” Lin Luoqing put him on the ground. “Then go and do your homework. I have asked your uncle to contact the designer of your study. They will come in two days to design the study for you. Then the largest empty room on this floor will be made into a study for you, and your uncle will buy you many, many books.”

Lin Fei was surprised. “Yes.”

Lin Luoqing saw the way his eyes instantly lit up and asked him, “Do you still want anything else? Uncle can give it to you. You did so well in this exam, and I haven’t given you a gift yet.”

“No thanks.” Lin Fei felt that he didn’t have anything he wanted. He couldn’t think of anything he needed. He had everything now.

Lin Luoqing thought for a while. “Then it is better to wait a few days. Uncle will take you to the museum.”

Most children his age didn’t like museums because they were not very fun, but based on Lin Fei’s personality, Lin Luoqing thought he would like it.

“What is a museum?” Lin Fei was curious. He hadn’t been to a museum yet.

Lin Luoxi had been busy with work when she was still alive. Ever since Lin Fei was young, she seldom took him out to play. Later, Lin Fei grew up and she only took him to parks and zoos, which were places children generally liked. Therefore, a museum was still a relatively unfamiliar term and concept for Lin Fei.

“You’ll find out when you go. You should like it.”

“Okay,” Lin Fei agreed.

Lin Luoqing touched his head again, stood up, and sent him back to his bedroom.

Ji Leyu didn’t realize Lin Fei’s notebook was missing until he did his homework with Lin Fei the next day.

He wondered, “Where is your book? The one that Teacher Zhang gave you as a reward.”

“I gave it away.” Lin Fei didn’t raise his head.

Ji Leyu, “???!!!”

“Gave it away?” He was incredulous. “Why did you give it away? Who did you give it to?”

“You didn’t give it to me!” Ji Leyu pouted as he felt aggrieved and angry.

Lin Fei, “……”

“Hmph!” Ji Leyu snorted and huffed. “That was your prize for getting 1st place, and you even gave it away. It wasn’t given to me. Who is more important than me? I won’t study any longer!”

He spoke while pushing away the winter holiday homework, looking like he wouldn’t answer the questions.

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei was really confused. How did Ji Leyu get 8th place with his brain?

Were all their classmates stupid?

Ji Leyu, whose brain couldn’t even turn, passed the exam?!

Ji Leyu saw his eyes full of contempt and was about to condemn Lin Fei. Then he suddenly remembered. Lin Fei had stayed at home all day yesterday. Then when he said he gave it away…

“Did you give it to… your uncle?” Ji Leyu instantly lost his momentum and whispered tentatively.

“Who else?” Lin Fei looked at him with disgust in his eyes.

Ji Leyu, “……”

“Brother, next time you are like this, just directly say that you gave it to your uncle, okay?”

If he said that the recipient was Lin Luoqing, then how could Ji Leyu be angry at him?

Lin Fei saw him visibly calm down. He was like a kitten whose hackles were raised, only to become docile and soft again. He smiled and pinched Ji Leyu’s face. “Stupid.”

Ji Leyu wasn’t convinced. “I just didn’t think of it for a while.”

Lin Fei pinched the flesh of his face. “Stupid and domineering.”

Ji Leyu pushed him. “I’m not stupid.”

He didn’t deny at all that he was overbearing.

Lin Fei let go and looked at the face that was pinched red by himself. It was like a cloud of fire. “Did you want me to give you the notebook?”

Ji Leyu nodded without any hypocrisy.

“Next time,” Lin Fei said. “The next time Teacher Zhang gives me a prize, I will give it to you.”

Ji Leyu was happy and hugged him. “Brother is so good.”

“Then you will be able to answer more questions,” Lin Fei said indifferently. “A notebook should give you enough space to write.”

Ji Leyu, “……”

Ji Leyu felt that he didn’t want it anymore.

His brother wasn’t good this time!

He furrowed his delicate little brow again. He looked pitiful, and anyone who saw him would be distressed.

However, his hard-hearted brother Lin Fei wouldn’t be swayed. “Do you still want the notebook?”

Ji Leyu, “……”

Ji Leyu thought about it and eventually gritted his teeth. “Yes.”

“Okay.” Lin Fei nodded.

Ji Leyu hugged him and said in a good voice, “Then you should let me write fewer questions this time, okay?”

Lin Fei gave him a look to tell him to experience solving the questions for himself.

Ji Leyu thought, ‘…My brother is really cruel! Too cruel!’

Lin Fei saw his drooping eyebrows and eyes and inexplicably found it interesting. He admired it for a while before calmly saying, “You haven’t finished your winter holiday homework yet. Oh, you just said that you aren’t studying.”

Ji Leyu immediately let go and picked up his pen again. “I’ll answer the homework questions now.”’

He was very well-behaved.

Lin Fei was satisfied and continued to read his book.

It wasn’t until it was almost time to eat and Ji Leyu had answered almost all of the homework questions when he asked, “What movie do you want to watch?”

Ji Leyu glanced at him doubtfully, not understanding why he suddenly asked this question.

“Don’t you want to watch anything?” Lin Fei asked him.

Ji Leyu suddenly realized. He looked at Lin Fei in surprise and answered, “Meow Meow Adventures.”

“Oh.”

“Are you going to ask Dad to take us to watch this?” He asked expectantly.

Lin Fei didn’t answer, but he didn’t refute it. This was an acquiescence.

Ji Leyu cheered, hugged him again, and said happily, “Brother, you are so good.”

Lin Fei still had that cold and indifferent expression.

Ji Leyu didn’t dislike it. He had already seen through Lin Fei. Lin Fei’s face might be expressionless, but he was quietly thinking about Ji Leyu in his heart.

He gave him gifts, helped him keep his secrets, and was willing to watch the movie he wanted to see.

How was he so good?!

He rubbed against Lin Fei’s shoulder affectionately and coquettishly said to him, “Hug me.”

Lin Fei moved his gaze away from his book with 30% disgust, 20% helplessness, and 50% indulgence. He used one hand to hug Ji Leyu while the other hand rubbed the boy’s hair. “You are good.”

Ji Leyu lay against his shoulder, voice soft. “Yes, I am good. I am super good!”

Ji Leyu mentioned the movie he wanted to see, and Lin Fei told Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao about it during the meal.

The moment Ji Yuxiao heard the name of the movie, he knew that it was Ji Leyu who wanted to see it.

He was really emotional at this time and felt that Lin Fei was too sensible. It was no wonder why Ji Leyu liked to cling to him. Lin Fei doted on him too much, and it was no different from his own brother. How could Ji Leyu not like him?

Ji Yuxiao once again felt that life was good. It was really fortunate that he could meet Lin Luoqing and marry him, allowing Ji Leyu to meet Lin Fei.

The next day, the family of four went to the theater together to fulfill the promise made to Lin Fei.

This was the first time Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao took their two children to such a public place, and they were inevitably a bit excited.

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu were happy, especially Ji Leyu. He hadn’t gone out since Ji Yuxiao was injured out of fear that Ji Yuxiao would get hurt. This meant his interest was particularly high this time and he liked everything.

Lin Luoqing booked a venue and pushed Ji Yuxiao into the movie theater.

He chose a couple’s room because he thought the two children could sit more comfortably there.

Ji Yuxiao saw the couple’s theater room and looked at him meaningfully. “A couple’s hall~”

“What are you thinking? I just saw the sofas and thought that they would be more comfortable to sit on.”

Ji Yuxiao nodded. “Yes, I believe you.”

…You should believe me, okay?

This was the first time the two of them watched a movie together. It was with the two children, but one sofa couldn’t fit four people. Therefore, Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao sat on one sofa and Lin Fei and Ji Leyu sat on another.

It was an animated movie. For people like Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao, who had long stopped watching cartoons, it was a bit boring.

Fortunately, Lin Fei and Ji Leyu watched the movie with relish, so it wasn’t a waste of their time.

“Next time you act in a movie, the two of us will go and watch it secretly.” Ji Yuxiao held Lin Luoqing’s hand in the darkness, approached him, and whispered.

Lin Luoqing chuckled. “You don’t want to bring Fei Fei and Xiao Yu with you?”

“How can we take both of them? Fathers must have their own space.”

Lin Luoqing felt sweet due to his words and nodded silently. “Yes.”

Ji Yuxiao turned to look at him. The movie screening hall was very dark. The light of the screen shone on Lin Luoqing’s face, and his specific facial features couldn’t be seen. It was like a hazy dream, like he was covered with a veil.

He involuntarily leaned in to kiss him. Lin Luoqing turned to look at him in surprise, and momentary shyness appeared on his face.

“I want to kiss you,” Ji Yuxiao whispered.

Lin Luoqing felt his breathing as he spoke and wondered, ‘Haven’t you already kissed me?’

Ji Yuxiao seemed to sense what he was thinking and gave a low laugh, bringing up an ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them. He said, “Forget it. Come back and kiss me.”

Lin Luoqing was puzzled. “Didn’t you already kiss me just now?”

The moment he finished speaking, the corners of his lips received a warm touch. Lin Luoqing realized that it was this kiss he was talking about.

“Got it?” Ji Yuxiao’s tone was soft.

Lin Luoqing nodded. He now knew that Ji Yuxiao wanted to kiss him, but the two children were sitting not far away. It really wasn’t appropriate.

He pursed his lips secretly. He was provoked by Ji Yuxiao to think intimate thoughts, so he grabbed Ji Yuxiao’s hand and rubbed his knuckles.

Ji Yuxiao originally wanted to just kiss him at that moment. Now he was teased by Lin Luoqing like this and felt himself burning up. He pressed on Lin Luoqing’s hand.

“Stop teasing me.”

“Obviously, you teased me first.” Lin Luoqing’s voice was small.

He looked up at Ji Yuxiao. He felt that this person was really annoying. He knew that they couldn’t kiss now but still wanted to provoke him, making him want to kiss Ji Yuxiao.

Thinking of this, he secretly pinched Ji Yuxiao’s hand.

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

“I told you to stop teasing me. Why are you still teasing me?”

Lin Luoqing ignored him and secretly pinched him again. Ji Yuxiao turned his hand to grab Lin Luoqing’s hand. Lin Luoqing quickly dodged, and the two of them made trouble for a long time. Lin Luoqing couldn’t hold back and laughed.

He was smiling. Then he heard Ji Leyu asking from not far away, “Dad, what are you playing?”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing instantly withdrew his hand. He blushed and was too embarrassed to speak.

Ji Yuxiao said with a smile, “It is nothing. I’m playing rock paper scissors with your father. Watch your movie.”

Ji Leyu let out an oh while thinking in his heart, ‘What is the fun of rock paper scissors games? Do adults like guessing rock paper scissors so much?

Lin Luoqing glared at Ji Yuxiao. Ji Yuxiao took his hand, squeezed it again, and held it with both hands.

Lin Luoqing felt the temperature of his palm and couldn’t help laughing silently again.

They were very happy after finishing the movie.

Ji Yuxiao rarely accompanied the children to go out, so he wanted them to stroll around the mall, buy toys and clothes, and then eat dinner.

He was choosing clothes for Lin Fei and Ji Leyu when he heard his phone ring.

He looked at it and found that the caller was his father.

Ji Yuxiao picked up. “Hello.”

“Xiao Yu should be on holiday after finishing the exam.” Father Ji spoke on the other end of the phone. “I haven’t seen him for a long time. It is almost the Spring Festival, so it is better to let him come to stay with me for a few days first.”
