FV: Chapter 338

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu rested on the hillside for a while. Once Cheng Huiya and Yang Wenjing weren’t so tired, they walked down the slope.

Going downhill was always easier than going uphill. The children walked happily at their own pace. Once the last section of the path came, they couldn’t help but start running. The wind blew their coats and cheered with them. Their laughter was like flowers blooming on this green hillside.

The parents in front of the monitor couldn’t help smiling as they watched. Their eyes were full of relief and love.

After going downhill, the children walked along the mountain path for a while. Sure enough, another fork appeared.

The tree on the left was tied with a yellow ribbon, while the tree on the right was tied with a red ribbon.

They all remembered what the old lady said and took the initiative to walk to the right.

This should be the last level set by the program group. Lin Fei read through the book. He had already read the end of the help book made by the program group. It read: Follow the instructions of the old lady in the red hat and you will meet a fairy sister. The fairy sister wearing a pearl necklace will help you rescue your parents.

“A fairy sister?” Yang Wenjing tilted her head. “The fairy sister must be very beautiful.”

“Yes.” Cheng Huiya nodded and couldn’t help fantasizing.

The little girls looked forward expectantly. They wanted to see this beautiful fairy sister as soon as possible.

They didn’t have to wait long. After walking for almost ten minutes, they saw a fairy in pink gauze dancing on the grass not far away.

“The fairy sister!” Cheng Huiya stretched out her finger and pointed.

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu also saw it and walked forward quickly.

Lin Fei waited until he walked in front of her before looking quietly.

The fairy in front of him was dressed very beautifully. The golden phoenix held a long tassel in its mouth and was quietly embedded in her hair. Her eyebrows seemed to have petals falling. There was a double-layered pearl necklace around her neck and she wore a shiny jade bracelet on her wrist.

Lin Fei focused his eyes on her pearl necklace, making sure that it was the same as in the book. Then he asked, “Sister, do you know where our parents are?”

The fairy looked at them and nodded gently.

“Then you can ask the question,” Tang Jiale said boldly. He felt that he had seen it clearly. The people they met would ask them questions first before helping them.

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Fei with an expression that said, ‘Come on.’

Lin Fei, “……”

The fairy smiled and said to them, “Come with me.”

Then she turned and walked forward.

Seeing that she didn’t ask them any questions and just led them forward, Ji Leyu approached Lin Fei’s ear doubtfully. “Where is she going to take us?”

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

Ji Leyu couldn’t help holding Lin Fei’s hand tightly. He thought that if something soon happened, he would pull Lin Fei to run together.

The group of children followed the fairy for a short distance before seeing a small cave.

“Go out of this cave and you will almost reach the place where your parents are imprisoned,” the fairy said warmly.

“The place of imprisonment?” Tang Jiale scratched his head and turned to look at Lin Fei. “What does imprisonment mean? What is the place of imprisonment?”

Lin Fei, “……”

He explained calmly, “It is where your parents are.”

Tang Jiale nodded. “Oh, that’s it.”

The fairy, “……”

The program director, “……”

The parents in front of the monitor and the netizens laughed.

[There seems to be no problem [covers face].]

[Hahaha, the place where your parents are being held. Isn’t it where your parents are? There is no problem [dog head].]

[Fei Fei is heartbroken because of this group of children!]

[Yes. Fei Fei is really gentle, careful and quick-thinking.]

[The staff members of the program group aren’t good enough. Hurry and change your words, or Fei Fei will have to cover up for you!]

[Yes. Fei Fei has already said it is hide-and-seek. Why can’t you follow the rules of hide-and-seek?]

[But the program team set it as rescuing their parents. They can’t change the setting [covers face].]

[So it is really up to our Fei Fei [amused].]

[Fei Fei is awesome. What would these children do if Fei Fei disappeared?]

[Hurry up and thank Brother Fei Fei. Let us thank Brother Fei Fei together.]

“Fei Fei is working so hard to complete this hide-and-seek game.” Tang Zhiqi couldn’t help sighing in front of the monitor.

“That’s right. But it is a good thing that Fei Fei talked about hide-and-seek. These children still have the mindset of playing games, or they probably would’ve cried long ago.”

“Thank you, Teacher Lin.” Yang Wenjing’s mother turned to look at Lin Luoqing. “If it wasn’t for Lin Fei, Jingjing would’ve definitely not been able to stop crying. It was the same when they were climbing up the hill. Xiao Yu and Fei Fei kept pulling Jingjing. Thank you so much. You have taught your two children so well. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Lin Luoqing smiled. “They are all friends and should help each other.”

“I am still thankful. I have learned a lot from Fei Fei during this recording. Once we go back, I will definitely strengthen my previous loopholes and educate Jingjing well.”

“It would be great if we could meet more often after this show is finished. This way, Fei Fei can always be a role model for them.”

“It’s okay if we don’t meet. In any case, we are in a group chat now. We can communicate with each other in the future, hahahaha.”

Everyone laughed happily. Lin Luoqing listened and finally felt a sense of reality that the recording was about to end.

Before he came to this variety show, he had no aspirations. He wouldn’t have agreed if Lin Fei and Ji Leyu hadn’t wanted to come.

However, after recording so many episodes, they went to one place after another, from winter to spring, from north to south and back again. He and Ji Leyu learned about customs one after another. He watched Lin Fei and Ji Leyu growing better and happier, and couldn’t help feeling a bit reluctant to part with this show.

Maybe it wasn’t that he didn’t want to part with this show, but that he didn’t want to give up the fixed time for the family of four to play together. He was reluctant to let go of children like Tang Jiale and Geng Shansi, who thought Lin Fei was very good even if he was silent and didn’t talk to them.

Lin Luoqing was a father after all. He knew that Lin Fei didn’t need friends and knew that Lin Fei had no feelings for most people in the world, but he still selfishly hoped that children of the same age could like his little Fei Fei and want to be friends with him.

He hoped that Lin Fei and Ji Leyu would always be happy, like the most ordinary children in the world. He wanted them to have a gorgeous childhood and colorful memories.

Once they grew up and were about to leave this world one day, they would look back on their lives and find that every stage since childhood had been glorious.

That way, he would be happy.

Lin Luoqing looked at Lin Fei and Ji Leyu on the screen and his eyes were gentle.

At this time, Lin Fei was looking at the cave in front of him.

“Is it okay to just go through it?” He looked up at the fairy in front of him. “Do I need to answer questions or do anything for you?”

“No need.” The fairy smiled.

Lin Fei always felt it shouldn’t be so simple. He took another look at the pearl necklace around the fairy’s neck and made sure it was the same as the one mentioned in the book. Then he reluctantly felt relieved and walked forward.

Ji Leyu was still holding his hand. Once Lin Fei moved, Ji Leyu couldn’t help moving.

“You can’t go in together.” The fairy hurriedly stopped them. “Only one person can enter this cave at a time.”

Cheng Huiya and Yang Wenjing immediately shook their heads when they heard what she said. One of them was young and the other was timid. They instinctively didn’t want to enter this dark cave alone.

“I don’t want to,” Yang Wenjing whispered. “I’m afraid.”

“Don’t be afraid. There are no bad people in the cave. You can just go straight forward after entering.”

Yang Wenjing still shook her head, took Geng Shansi’s hand and hid behind her.

“If you don’t go through this cave, you won’t be able to save your parents,” the fairy reminded them.

Yang Wenjing automatically converted it to the hide-and-seek version of not being able to see her parents. Her eyebrows and eyes instantly drooped. She looked like she wanted to cry.

“Come on,” the fairy encouraged her. “Be a brave child. Only brave children can succeed. Let’s be brave, okay?”

Yang Wenjing still shook her head.

Lin Fei was worried about Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao. Seeing that Yang Wenjing was hiding behind Geng Shansi and unwilling to move forward, he said, “I’ll go in first. If nothing happens, I’ll come back and let you know it is okay to go inside.”

The fairy, ‘??? Can it still be like this?’

The problem was that this sort of thing wasn’t in her script. Should she agree?

She was still confused, but netizens couldn’t help praising it.

[Fei Fei is reliable!]

[He is also very responsible. Every time I look at Fei Fei, he feels extremely safe!]

[This is why I said that I like Fei Fei the most!]

[Fei Fei is really very cool. Once he grows up in the future, he will definitely be popular with girls.]

[Sisters, you should draw the pattern bigger. I think boys will also like him [amused].]

[Hahahaha, then I hope Fei Fei’s vision is as good as his dad’s.]

[Yes, after all, our child is so good.]

Lin Fei finished speaking and prepared to walk into the cave.

Ji Leyu pulled him, still wanting to go in with him.

Seeing this, the fairy finally made a decision. In any case, they were a family-friendly parent-child variety show. Just turn a blind eye and agree. There was no need to be so strict with the children.

With this thought in mind, she walked to Lin Fei and told him about the precautions.

“After entering the cave, take ten steps and a flashlight will be hanging on the wall. If you take it off, it will illuminate your way. There are many things in the cave, some of which will be interesting. However, each of you can only stay at each object for three seconds at most. If you exceed three seconds, it will be considered a failure even if you walk out of the cave. It is best not to stay, do you understand?”

Lin Fei nodded.

“Then I wish you good luck,” the fairy said gently.

Lin Fei turned his head to look at Ji Leyu and touched his head. “Be good.”

Ji Leyu reluctantly let go and said in a worried manner, “You must call me if you encounter anything.”

“Okay,” Lin Fei agreed.

He finished speaking, turned around and entered the cave.

The sunlight at the entrance of the cave was bright and sufficient. Lin Fei stepped inside and didn’t feel how terrible the cave was.

He walked forward briskly. In a moment, he saw a flashlight hanging on the wall.

The flashlight was turned on, emitting a bright light. Lin Fei took it off and continued walking forward with the flashlight.

The cave was very quiet and not very wide. The flashlight shone forward and he could see the shiny glass gems placed in the cave.

Lin Fei ignored them and walked forward indifferently. The flashlight passed by and he saw a bunch of car models and toys.

He still ignored it.

After that, Lin Fei saw Barbie dolls, small cakes, stuffed toys, toy guns, and even a pile of books.

Sure enough, there was no danger.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of meowing. Lin Fei turned the flashlight around and saw a kitten drinking water in a cage.

The kitten was cute with yellow-white fur and a round head. Lin Fei didn’t quite understand why it appeared here.

But just like those dolls and books wouldn’t appear here out of thin air, this cat should’ve also been placed here.

He thought of the ‘Alibaba and the 40 Thieves’ story that he had seen before. It might be Alibaba, but it might also be the fairy sister.

Or maybe someone was playing the role of a little monster.

Lin Fei didn’t believe that his father was captured by the little monster. The little monster must be fake and someone was pretending to be it. Thus, these things might’ve been placed here intentionally.

It was in order to distract him and make him forget to save his parents.

Lin Fei shook his head with some disdain. He changed the direction of the flashlight and continued walking forward.

Soon, he saw the lights and trees outside.

Lin Fei walked out quickly, successfully clearing the instance.

He looked at the scenery in front of him before turning and glancing at the hole behind him. Then he turned around and walked in.

This time he walked very fast all the way back to the entrance he came through.

Ji Leyu ran over and asked in concern, “Are you okay?”

“It’s okay,” Lin Fei answered him. “There are only…”

“Shh.” The fairy raised a finger to stop his next words. “You can’t say it.”

Lin Fei shut up.

“In any case, it isn’t dangerous,” he concluded.

After speaking, he glanced at Ji Leyu and told him, “I’ll wait for you at the exit.”

“Okay.” Ji Leyu nodded.

Lin Fei turned around and entered the cave again.

Ji Leyu watched him disappear before anxiously asking the fairy sister beside him, “Can I go in now?”

“Wait a minute,” the fairy said gently.

How could Ji Leyu be willing to wait? He pursed his lips while feeling that these people were really troublesome.

It wasn’t until Lin Fei walked out of the cave and the staff member hiding in the cave put the flashlight back that the fairy finally told Ji Leyu the precautions and let him enter the cave.

Ji Leyu walked quickly. Within a few steps, he had the flashlight shine on the path in front of him.

He wanted to meet Lin Fei as soon as possible, so Ji Leyu didn’t bother paying attention to the toys, dolls, small cakes, and the cat hidden in the cave.

He walked at first. Then once he was sure that the cave was flat, he simply started running toward the exit of the cave.

Lin Fei guessed that Ji Leyu would be the second to walk out of the cave, so he didn’t go far. He stood at the exit of the cave and waited for Ji Leyu.

Ji Leyu saw his figure from a distance. He couldn’t see the person’s face clearly against the light, but he knew it must be Lin Fei.

He suddenly ran faster. He couldn’t help laughing the moment he saw Lin Fei’s face clearly. He rushed straight into Lin Fei’s arms and hugged him.

“I’m here,” he said happily. “Aren’t I fast?”

Lin Fei let out a faint ‘hmm’ without any emotion. He raised his hand, touched the back of Ji Leyu’s head and hugged him tenderly.
