FV: Chapter 315

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu walked hand in hand through the fruit and vegetable area.

Ji Leyu had never been to a market like this before. He was curious and everything he saw was new.

He looked at a stall not far away. The uncle selling tools was holding a small bottle for blowing bubbles. The moment he blew on the small brush that looked like an inverted figure eight, many bubbles were blown out and danced all over the sky.

Ji Leyu had only played with the bubble gun. The moment he pressed the gun with his hand, small and large bubbles were blown. He had never blown it with his mouth.

He pulled Lin Fei over and stared at the bubble bottle in the hand of the boss blowing bubbles.

“Do you want to play?” The uncle asked him.

Ji Leyu nodded.

The uncle handed him the small bottle. “Then dip it in and blow it.”

Ji Leyu let go of Lin Fei’s hand. He took it, dipped the brush in, puffed up his cheeks and blew out.

In an instant, many bubbles emerged from the two circles of the inverted 8.

Ji Leyu happily turned around and put the small brush in front of Lin Fei’s mouth. “Blow on it.”

Lin Fei blew gently. Sure enough, another bubble flew out.

Ji Leyu thought it was funny and blew it again.

The uncle took the opportunity to say, “Do you like it? If you like it, just buy one. It is just 1.5 yuan.”

Ji Leyu actually wanted to play but he still remembered that the money he earned was to be given to Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao as pocket money, not to buy toys. Therefore, he returned the bubble bottle.

“No thanks,” he said to the boss.

“Don’t you like it?” Lin Fei asked him. He felt that Ji Leyu seemed to like it quite a bit.

Ji Leyu turned to look at him. “Do you like it?”

Lin Fei didn’t like it that much. He was more curious about why bubbles were produced like this.

“What’s in this?” Lin Fei asked the boss in front of him. “Why are there bubbles when blowing?”

“It is soapy water or something,” the director explained to him.

Lin Fei turned to look at her, “Why does soapy water have bubbles?”

The filming director thought, ‘…Ah, how should I explain this to you?’

The director had a bit of a headache. “You’ll learn it when you grow up.”

Lin Fei didn’t want to wait to grow up to know. He decided to go back and ask Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao. They would definitely tell him when the time came.

Netizens saw this and clicked their tongues. [Fei Fei’s thirst for knowledge is quite strong.]

[No wonder why he is the study god of elementary school. He is curious and good at discovering and understanding problems.]

[I feel that he will definitely be a science student in the future.]

[Not necessarily. Since he can read ‘Stories of Idioms’ for over two hours, he should also like liberal arts.]

[In any case, no matter whether it is science or liberal arts, Fei Fei should have good grades at that time.]

[I really want to see Fei Fei grow up. Wu wu wu, I hope that Qing Qing can show off his children more often in the future.]

[I’m already praying. Qing Qing, you must remember it!]

Lin Fei didn’t get the answer, so he went to see Ji Leyu again, “Do you want it?”

Ji Leyu shook his head. “No.”

Then he grabbed Lin Fei’s hand and walked forward.

Seeing this, Lin Fei followed him to the stall in front.

There were many stalls selling toys here. Ji Leyu played with them one by one. He even leaned close to Lin Fei’s ear and whispered, “The iron frog is so ugly.”

Lin Fei turned to look at him and felt that Ji Leyu was really a child.

Ji Leyu had played enough. He saw candied fruits in the distance. His eyes lit up and he was about to go over.

Lin Fei’s quick eyesight and hands grabbed him, preventing him from being swept away by the crowd.

Ji Leyu looked back in confusion.

Lin Fei squeezed his hand and didn’t criticize him. He just said, “Let’s go.”

“Yes.” Ji Leyu replied obediently.

The old man selling candied fruits sat on a bicycle. The candied fruit skewers were tied to the back seat and it was full of red candied fruits. He saw them walking over and asked with a smile, “Little friend, do you want to eat candied fruits?”

Ji Leyu was a bit greedy and watched it eagerly. However, he wasn’t very willing to use the pocket money he wanted to give to Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao.

Netizens didn’t quite understand it. [Buy it if you want to eat it. Xiao Yu, have you forgotten that you just made money?]

[Yes, Xiao Yu, what’s wrong with you? Why are you looking at it and not buying it?]

[This is too much self-control. If it was me, I would spend all the money I earned today.]

[Hahaha, is it possible that our Xiao Yu is a little Pixiu that only takes in money and doesn’t hand it out?]

[Oh my god! As expected of Chairman Ji’s son! Only money comes into his hands. Money can’t leave it. It is absolutely impressive!]

[Hahahaha, Chairman Ji has too many successors [covers face].]

Lin Fei saw him staring and asked him, “Do you want to eat it?”

Ji Leyu nodded before shaking his head.

“What do you mean?” Lin Fei didn’t quite understand.

Ji Leyu leaned close to his ear. He covered his mouth with his hand and said softly, “I can’t buy it if I want to give pocket money to Dad and Father.”

Now Lin Fei understood. Ji Leyu still wanted to eat.

“Then when you go back, do you want to eat hawthorn or grapes?”

These candied fruits had no strawberries.

Ji Leyu laughed. He tilted his head and looked innocent. “I want both.”

He was originally a pampered young master with no sense of frugality. If it wasn’t for the money in his pocket today being what he earned, Ji Leyu would’ve bought whatever he saw.

Lin Fei looked at the bright smile on his face and let go of his hand. He told Ji Leyu, “Stand obediently and don’t run around.”

Then he walked toward the uncle selling candied fruits on a stick.

Ji Leyu hurriedly chased after him and heard Lin Fei tell the uncle, “I want two skewers of candied fruits. One with hawthorns and one with grapes.”

Ji Leyu was a bit surprised. He took Lin Fei’s arm and asked him, “Why are you still buying candied fruits?”

“Aren’t you giving pocket money to Dad and Father?” He leaned toward Lin Fei’s ear and asked in a whisper.

Lin Fei’s tone was calm. “You were very good just now and helped collect money for me. I will reward you.”

Ji Leyu was pleasantly surprised. “Really?”

Lin Fei nodded.

Ji Leyu instantly laughed happily. This was different from the perfunctory smile he gave to customers before. Anyone could see the joy in his amber eyes.

“Pick two skewers you like,” Lin Fei said softly.

Ji Leyu turned his head, raised his little face and looked at the candied fruit skewers that were bigger than him. He pointed and finally asked the old man selling it to help him take them down.

He held two candied fruits in both hands. He looked to the left and right before finally eating a hawthorn one first.

Lin Fei took out a small wallet that Lin Luoqing had prepared for him to collect money. He asked about the price and handed over the money.

“Thank you,” he said politely.

“You’re welcome. The children are so cute,” the uncle selling candied fruits praised.

Lin Fei didn’t speak. He put away his wallet and turned around. He saw Ji Leyu eating candied fruits with puffed-out cheeks, eyes curved like a small bridge.

“Brother, you eat.” Ji Leyu handed over the candied fruits.

Lin Fei bit into a hawthorn ball. The hawthorn was sour, but the sugar coating outside was very sweet. They intertwined together, sour and sweet. It was delicious. 

Ji Leyu raised the grape one to Lin Fei’s mouth. “Eat this.”

Lin Fei lowered his head and bit off the top grape. Ji Leyu followed closely, biting the second grape and smiling happily at him.

Seeing this, Lin Fei remembered the bubble bottle Ji Leyu had been interested in before. “Do you still want the bubble blower?”

His tone had no ups and downs, and his face had no expression, but his words were very gentle. “I can reward you with that as well.”

Ji Leyu instantly stopped eating the candied fruits and looked at him happily. He pursed his lips and nodded fiercely. He hugged Lin Fei and whispered happily in his ear, “Brother, very nice.”

Lin Fei let him hug, as expressionless as ever.

[F*k, who is sour? I am sour. What a peerless good brother!]

[Fei Fei is really upright in words. He is cold-faced but warm-heated. He looks cold on the outside but he is actually a doting brother. Fei Fei, you are so cute!]

[His younger brother wants to eat candied fruits, so he bought them for Xiao Yu. If one isn’t enough, he buys two. He also thinks about the toy that Xiao Yu originally wanted. Fei Fei, are you still missing a sister? The kind that is 20 years older than you?]

[Wu wu wu, why don’t I have a brother like Fei Fei? I really want a brother like Fei Fei!]

[Xiao Yu is the person I envy the most right now! As long as he has his older brother, he can get anything!]

[This is simply an immortal brother. He urges you to study and buys things for you. He coaxes you and pampers you. Even your own father can’t do that, right?!]

[That’s true. My dad didn’t even know what grade I was in when I was at school [smile].]

[Hahaha, same world, same father.]

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu were about to go back to buy the bubble bottle. As they walked, they saw a stall selling pastries.

Ji Leyu came up and found that there were no pastries he was familiar with. They were all pastries that he had never seen.

The female seller said enthusiastically, “What kind of pastries do you like?”

Ji Leyu turned to look at Lin Fei and asked him, “Which one do you like?”

Lin Fei was looking at a pastry that was like a butterfly pastry. It was wrapped in reddish-brown bean paste, so it wasn’t a butterfly cake.

The female owner noticed his gaze and asked him, “Do you like this? Should I pack it for you?”

Lin Fei shook his head.

He was just a bit curious, but he wasn’t going to buy it. After all, he wanted to give pocket money to Lin Luoqing, Ji Yuxiao, and Ji Leyu, not spend it on himself.

“Do you have anything you want to eat?” He asked Ji Leyu.

“No.” Ji Leyu ate another hawthorn piece and fed it to him as well.

“Then let’s go,” Lin Fei said.

Ji Leyu nodded and followed him forward.

After just a few steps, he suddenly stopped again. He turned around and wanted to walk back, but Lin Fei grabbed him.

“Where are you going?” Lin Fei asked doubtfully.

Ji Leyu looked at him and said softly, “I want to go back and buy some snacks.”

“You want to eat again?”

Ji Leyu shook his head and looked at him. Ji Leyu’s eyes were clear and there was a child’s inherent innocence in them. “I’m not eating them. I want to buy them for you. Next time you see them, you will know which one is delicious and which one you will like.”

[F*k! I quit. I don’t deserve a brother like Fei Fei. I thought Xiao Yu was greedy, but I didn’t expect Xiao Yu to buy it for Fei Fei! Xiao Yu, you are too sweet!]

[My god, what type of beautiful brotherhood is this? The older brother wants to buy something for his younger brother and the younger brother is only willing to spend money on the older brother. He isn’t willing to buy candied fruits for himself and is like a Pixiu. But when it comes to his older brother, he is willing to let his brother taste the pastries he has never eaten and pay immediately. Fei Yu is really wonderful!]

[Wu wu wu, the children are so innocent. Looking at Fei Yu, I think the world has become more beautiful.]

[I really envy this brotherly relationship. Fei Fei and Xiao Yu are so happy!]

[Fei Fei and Xiao Yu deserve it. Such a good baby should be so happy!]

[Crazily supporting it. No one is allowed to hurt our Fei Yu babies.]

Lin Fei hadn’t expected that Ji Leyu wanted to buy it for him and was slightly surprised.

He thought for a while before saying to Ji Leyu, “Then I’ll buy it. Then we can eat it with Dad and Father when we go back. They might not have eaten it.”

“Then do you still have money?” Ji Leyu was very worried. Lin Fei still had to give pocket money to Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao.

“Yes,” Lin Fei answered him. Previously when he took out his small wallet to buy the candied fruits, he found that there was still a lot left.

“Okay~” Ji Leyu was relieved.

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu returned to the pastry stall. They picked what they liked, took four each and asked the boss, “How much?”

“15,” the boss replied.

This was somewhat beyond Lin Fei’s expectations. After all, he only spent 3 yuan on two skewers of candied fruits. He thought the pastries would only cost a few yuan.

Ji Leyu heard people saying ‘Why is it so expensive?’ and ‘Shouldn’t it be cheaper?’ coming from the stall next to him. He followed suit very smartly. “Why is it so expensive? Shouldn’t it be cheaper?”

The female seller smiled and said, “It is already very cheap. You are children, so I didn’t charge you more.”

The aunt not far away was still negotiating the price. “The ones I bought from other stores obviously aren’t so expensive. You can make it cheaper. I am a fellow villager. I’ll come to your place next time.”

Ji Leyu followed suit. “The ones I bought from other stores obviously aren’t so expensive. You can make it cheaper. You are from the countryside. I will come to your place next time.”

Even his tone of voice was similar.

The barrage laughed. [Xiao Yu, are you learning to bargain now?]

[Don’t say it. Our Xiao Yu sounds quite similar. Even the intonation is the same. He is very talented in imitation.]

[It is worthy of being the son of actor Lin Luoqing. Xiao Yu, consider inheriting your father’s mantle.]

[Hahaha, I will tell you loudly that the essence of human beings is—]

[Repeater repeater repeater! The Xiao Yu repeater is online!]

[I’m laughing to death. He is such a clever kid. Why is he so funny?]
