FV: Chapter 19

In the misty bathroom, Ji Yuxiao sat in the bathtub. The corners of his lips slowly raised in an evil smile. “Are you satisfied with what you see?”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing sat on the bed and couldn’t help laughing when he thought about the pictures in his brain.

At first, he really just wanted to help Ji Yuxiao take a bath. It was just that he was used to bickering with Ji Yuxiao these days, so he deliberately teased Ji Yuxiao.

Who let Ji Yuxiao tease him every day?

Couldn’t he tease others as well?

Lin Luoqing looked at Ji Yuxiao’s bedroom. He glanced around and finally set his eyes on the door of the bathroom.

He listened quietly. He found there was no big movement from the bathroom and felt relieved enough to leave the bedroom.

Lin Luoqing went down the stairs, washed some grapes and divided them between two small bowls. He took a small bowl to Ji Leyu’s room first.

He knocked on the door and heard Ji Leyu softly calling out, “Come in.” He pushed open the door and walked in.

Ji Leyu thought that Ji Yuxiao had come to find him. He hadn’t expected it to be Lin Luoqing but he had some doubts. What did Lin Luoqing come for?

“Do you want to eat fruit?” Lin Luoqing asked gently.

Ji Leyu nodded and replied obediently, “Thank you Uncle Lin.”

“You’re welcome.”

He placed the small bowl containing the grapes on the table and curiously glanced at Ji Leyu a few times.

Ji Leyu sensitively noticed his gaze and looked up. His tone had the usual innocence of children. “Uncle, are you looking at me?”

Lin Luoqing let out a hum of agreement and looked at him with interest.

“You’re cute,” he said. “You are so good-looking that I can’t help wanting to look more.”

His tone was very gentle and there was a smile in his eyes that couldn’t be hidden. JI Leyu believed it and smiled shyly at him.

Lin Luoqing was instantly struck in the heart. He felt that Ji Leyu was too cute!

Cute, soft and adorable!

He was also beautiful!

How could this be the man in the book who was frantically testing the edge of breaking the law?!

Lin Luoqing couldn’t believe it!

“Xao Yu, eat the fruit first. I will go and see how Brother Fei Fei’s homework is going.”

“Yes,” Ji Leyu responded sweetly.

Lin Luoqing heard this. He didn’t know how he got the courage, but he raised a hand and touched Ji Leyu’s head. “You are really good.”

Ji Leyu still had that simple, cute and innocent look.

Lin Luoqing couldn’t help rubbing his head. He felt that this child’s hair was soft, and it was really good to rub!

He reluctantly withdrew his hand, said goodbye to Ji Leyu and walked out.

Ji Leyu saw him leave and the smile on his face was put away. He looked at the cleaned grapes in front of him, picked one up and put it in his mouth while thinking about Lin Luoqing’s expression.

‘He should like me,’ Ji Leyu thought. ‘He doesn’t just like my uncle but also likes me. It wasn’t bad for me to show such enthusiasm today.’

Ji Leyu lowered his head and continued to watch the animation on the tablet.

Lin Luoqing finished delivering the grapes to Ji Leyu. He returned to the kitchen, picked up the bowl prepared for Lin Fei and went to Lin Fei’s room.

Lin Fei was reading a book and wasn’t surprised to see Lin Luoqing come in.

“I told Uncle Ji that I will have Uncle Li send you to school in the future.” He was afraid of ambiguity so he added, “Of course, I will continue sending you to school.”

Lin Fei let out a calm hum and replied coldly, “Thank you.”

Lin Luoqing raised a hand and fed him a grape. “Who told you to be polite with me?”

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei helplessly bit the grape in his mouth while thinking that this person was really childish.

Lin Luoqing looked into Lin Fei’s eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Then he reached out and pinched Lin Fei’s face.

He approached Lin Fei and whispered, “Have I ever told you why Uncle Ji’s legs are injured?”

Lin Fei shook his head.

“It is because he was in an accident more than a month ago,” Lin Luoqing said softly. “His legs were injured so he can’t walk.”

Lin Fei looked at him with surprise and asked, “Never again?”

“I don’t know. Probably not. Medicine is currently really developed, and he is rich.”

The main reason was that Ji Yuxiao’s condition was too good. If he really couldn’t get better all his life, he wouldn’t be able to fully accept it, even if he was really adaptable. It wasn’t like he had a sprained ankle.

It was too unscientific. Lin Luoqing was more willing to believe that he could get better soon!

“In that accident, it wasn’t only Uncle Ji who was injured. Xiao Yu’s parents were also in the accident. They weren’t as lucky as Uncle Ji and completely left this world.”

Lin Fei didn’t expect this to happen, and he couldn’t help saying, “Then he…”

“He is fine. Your Uncle Ji protected him, so he is fine. However, his parents are gone, and his uncle is injured. Now everyone is living together. If you want, you can try to talk or play with him more.”

After Lin Luoqing finished speaking, he added, “Of course, this isn’t mandatory. I know that you have your own preferences and ideas. I am just telling you this. You can follow your own thoughts.”

Lin Fei didn’t speak. A long time passed before he seemed to remember something, and he glanced at Lin Luoqing playfully. “What did you say to me before?”

He squinted. “Fierce? Is this what you mean by fierce? Just him?”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

How could he know that Ji Leyu, the well-known villain who was ruthless in the book, would be so soft and cute as a child?

What about looking at the three-year-old child to see your future self?

It wasn’t accurate at all!

“I just listened to what other people said.” Lin Luoqing felt helpless. “So, what does this matter tell us?”

“It tells us that what others say isn’t necessarily true. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. We can’t listen to others. We must see, feel and think for ourselves, understand?”

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei hadn’t expected the other person to use this incident to teach him on the spot and silently lowered his head to read his book.

Lin Luoqing smiled and touched his head. “Good boy.”

“That’s right.” He remembered something and asked Lin Fei, “What about the gift that Uncle Ji gave you? Let me see.”

Lin Fei had already seen it. He opened the drawer, took out the small box that Ji Yuxiao had given him and handed it to Lin Luoqing.

Lin Luoqing took it, opened the box and found it was a Guanyin jade pendant.

The texture of the jade was very good. It was clear, translucent, glossy and free of dirt. It was very valuable at first glance.

“It looks good. Do you like it?” He asked Lin Fei.

Lin Fei actually didn’t like or dislike the jade pendant. His own desires were low, and he had no desire for material things. Therefore, the jade pendant that was beautiful or expensive for others wasn’t attractive to him.

Even so, he could feel the kindness that Ji Yuxiao showed him, so he nodded and replied, “I like it.”

“That’s good.” Lin Luoqing returned the jade pendant to him.

Lin Fei took it, closed the box and put it back without intending to wear it.

“Aren’t you going to wear it?” Lin Luoqing wondered.

Lin Fei thought about it before asking him, “Do you want me to wear it?”

“It is up to you. Wear it or don’t wear it if you want.”

Lin Fei looked at the small box in front of him before finally closing the drawer.

He was afraid that he would lose it. This was the first gift that Ji Yuxiao had given him. It was the first time someone welcomed him when he moved to a new place, so he didn’t want to lose it.

Lin Luoqing didn’t interfere with his decision. He saw that Lin Fei had closed the drawer and didn’t say anything else about the gift. He just advised, “It is time to take a bath. Hurry up, Uncle will help you wash.”

Lin Fei instantly revealed his signature fan-shaped chart: there was 30% disgust, 30% helplessness and 40% resignation.

Lin Luoqing looked at Lin Fei and felt that he was very childish and cute at this time.

He picked up Lin Fei and declared, “Let’s go and give Fei Fei a bath.”

Ji Yuxiao came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and saw that his fiancé had changed into pajamas and was lying on the bed while playing with his mobile phone.

“You’ve finished washing.” Lin Luoqing squinted at him. “Then it is my turn.”

“Go,” Ji Yuxiao answered calmly.

Lin Luoqing sat up straight and went into the bathroom.

Ji Yuxiao got into bed while wondering how to let Lin Luoqing perform live for him.

He couldn’t say that he wanted to see Lin Luoqing’s acting skills again, right?

But if not this, then what could he use?

He pondered for a long time before finally handing Lin Luoqing a book after Lin Luoqing came out.

“What is it?” Lin Luoqing deliberately teased him while wiping his hair with a towel. “Do you want me to tell you a bedtime story?”

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

“I just want you to perform part of it.

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing didn’t understand, why didi this person like watching him act so much?

Was he a fan?

An acting fan?

Lin Luoqing looked at the other person and the hand wiping at his hair was regular and slow.

Ji Yuxiao felt guilty. “What? You can’t do it?”

“Are you…” Lin Luoqing approached him.

Ji Yuxiao felt so guilty that his back straightened. He left the headboard he was leaning against and sat very straight.

“My fan?” Lin Luoqing approached him.

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

Ji Yuxiao, “????”

“What?”

“You asked me to act out this and that for you every day. Are you my acting fan? Are you uncomfortable when a day passes without watching me perform?”

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

“I don’t have that unique taste.”

“Then why are you doing it every day?”

“I’m your future boss. Isn’t it normal to check your business ability?”

“Is it normal?” Lin Luoqing looked suspiciously. “You have already checked it four times. There is the first acquaintance, re-examination and the interview. Why are you still checking it?”

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

Ji Yuxiao’s expression didn’t change. “Maybe I am serious and rigorous when it comes to my work.”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

“You are being too rigorous. If you do a daily spot check, then your employees will leave.”

Ji Yuxiao smiled. “I don’t spot check others. Even if you leave work, you still have to go home and continue to be tested.”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

“Is it too late for me to carry my luggage home now?” He asked sincerely.

Ji Yuxiao shook his head and pinched the other person’s face. “I’m sorry. It is too late, Dear.”

He saw Lin Luoqing’s face, which had puffed up, and raised a hand to grab the towel covering Lin Luoqing’s hair. He happily helped Lin Luoqing wipe his still damp hair.

“Why don’t you use a hairdryer? Isn’t there a hairdryer in the bathroom?”

“I don’t have that habit.” Lin Luoqing finished speaking and simply sat down on the bed, letting the other person wipe his hair.

Ji Yuxiao glanced at him and commented, “Lazy.”

“It’s troublesome.” Lin Luoqing retorted.

He took a sip of the water on the table and waited until Ji Yuxiao had almost finished wiping his hair before finally opening the book Ji Yuxiao had handed him.

“Which part?”

Ji Yuxiao put away the towel and touched Lin Luoqing’s hair. He saw that it wasn’t so wet and lowered his head to read the book.

He pointed to a paragraph. “This section. I was watching the movie a few days ago and felt that the actor’s acting wasn’t very good. Try it and I will see if you can act better than him.”

“Okay.” Lin Luoqing was helpless.

Ji Yuxiao watched Lin Luoqing sit beside him and read the book seriously. Lin Luoqing’s eyebrows were lowered, and his fair skin was like the best jade. It was just that his face still had some red color due to just taking a shower. He looked pure yet seductive, bright yet alluring. 

He hurriedly closed his eyes and leaned against the headboard. He looked at the night sky outside the window and not the person beside him.

Lin Luoqing finished reading the paragraph and almost knew how he should act it out.

There were quite a few lines in this section. He didn’t intend to memorize them all so he turned to Ji Yuxiao and requested, “Can I hold the book and act? It is late and I don’t want to memorize the lines.”

“Yes.”

Lin Luoqing stood up and walked to the side.

Ji Yuxiao watched him with anticipation.

His expectations this time weren’t in vain. Halfway through Lin Luoqing’s performance, he felt the long-lost sleepiness.

Ji Yuxiao closed his eyes contentedly and let himself sleep in front of Lin Luoqing.

After the performance, Lin Luoqing sighed with relief and said emotionally, “This section is quite difficult. It needs to be performed in layers. You are quite good at choosing.”

Then he glanced at Ji Yuxiao and found that the other person was sitting on the bed, his head lowered and not speaking.

‘…No, no, no, no, surely he didn’t fall asleep again?’

Five performances and four sleeps—how intolerable did Ji Yuxiao find his acting skills?

Lin Luoqing walked over cautiously. “Brother?”

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

“Male god?”

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

Lin Luoqing was indignant. “Ji Yuxiao!”

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

What was there to wonder about? This person must’ve fallen asleep again!

Lin Luoqing approached and looked down at this person’s face. He saw that Ji Yuxiao’s eyes were closed and his breathing was steady and even.

It was a sound sleep!

Lin Luoqing simply didn’t understand it. What was going on? Why did he hypnotize people like this every time? His acting skills weren’t that bad!

Why did he have tears in his eyes?

Was it because his fiancé loved sleeping so much?

What sleep?

On the first day of living together, did Ji Yuxiao sleep like this?

It was also sleeping so soundly!

Did he think this was suitable?

---

The author has something to say:

President Ji: It is suitable. It is only with you present that I can sleep so peacefully!

Luoqing: …….

Luoqing: My fiancé’s sleep is really just sleep. There are no worldly desires!

President Ji: You will soon know if I have it or not!

Luoqing: !!!
