FV: Chapter 60

Father Lin solved the problem of Lin Luojing and anxiously wanted to contact Lin Luoqing to ask him to persuade Ji Yuxiao not to believe in Lin Luojing’s nonsense.

Lin Luoqing pretended to be sad and questioned him, “Is it really not like what Lin Luojing said?”

Father Lin hurriedly said, “Of course, it isn’t. Luoqing, don’t you understand Dad’s heart? Dad loves you. It is just your sister who got in the way before. Dad never wanted to abandon you.”

‘…Hehe, I understand too well, okay?’

Lin Luoqing continued to be sad, “I need time to calm down.”

Then he quickly hung up.

Father Lin was so angry that he fiercely scolded Lin Luojing in his heart again.

Chen Feng comforted him for a long time. It was only after he went to rest that she finally had time to comfort her son.

Lin Luojing was throwing a temper tantrum in his room. Once he saw his mother, he was so wronged that tears burst out. “How can he be like this? He actually helped Lin Luoqing instead of me!”

Chen Feng sighed. “It isn’t that he is helping Lin Luoqing. You know that we are going to use him to get through to Ji Yuxiao. Why did you still provoke him?”

Lin Luojing was puzzled. “Hasn’t Ji Yuxiao already left the Ji family?”

“What do you mean? Ji Zhenhong only has two sons and Ji Yuling is dead. Can he really give his assets to other people instead of Ji Yuxiao? As long as Ji Yuxiao isn’t dead, the Ji family will end up in his pocket sooner or later. So don’t provoke Lin Luoqing.”

Lin Luojing became even angrier after hearing this.

“I asked him to marry Ji Yuxiao. It wasn’t so that I would have to take a detour when I see him in the future!”

“I know.” Chen Feng looked at her son. “But now your father and I have spent 50 million on the relationship with Ji Yuxiao. We can’t let that 50 million go to waste right? So first endure and ignore it. Once your father has made money, won’t those things be returned to you?”

Lin Luojing didn’t feel any joy when he heard these words, but was full of grievance.

He thought he had dug a hole for Lin Luoqing to jump into, but now this hole tripped himself up.

Before Lin Luoqing married Ji Yuxiao, he couldn’t even enter the house. Now he was so good that he became a distinguished guest and Lin Luojing had to tolerate him. It was just because Lin Luoqing picked up the marriage that Lin Luojing didn’t want.

“If I knew this, I shouldn’t have let him marry Ji Yuxiao in the first place.”

“Isn’t it because you didn’t want to marry him?” Chen Feng comforted him. “Besides, what is so good about marrying a cripple who has a burden with him? Don’t look at how Lin Luoqing seems to have a beautiful life right now. In fact, he might be suffering at home. He might not even have time to go out after serving the big one and the small one. It is different from you, who can go out whenever you want to play.”

Lin Luojing felt better now. These words were right. Ji Yuxiao still had a burden with him. Counting Lin Fei, it was taking care of two burdens at a young age. He didn’t believe that Lin Luoqing could really be happy!

He had seen the way that Lin Luoqing got along with Lin Fei before and Lin Luoqing had hated it. Now there was another child and Lin Luoqing would be the one who suffered.

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu, who were thought of as burdens by Lin Luojing with high hopes, were currently bathing in the bathtub. They were going to sleep with Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao soon.

Ji Leyu picked up a small bubble from the bathtub and blew it on Lin Fei. The white bubble immediately flew to Lin Fei’s chin.

Ji Leyu laughed. He picked up another handful and continued to blow it at him.

It was the first time he had taken a bath in the bathtub with another person. He was inexplicably happy and couldn’t help playing around.

Lin Fei saw his actions and there was 30% helplessness, 30% speechlessness and 40% ‘too lazy to deal with this’ in his eyes.

He thought, ‘How childish is he to even enjoy playing with this? What a child.’

He thought so, but didn’t stop it.

Ji Leyu was about to continue blowing bubbles. Then he looked up and saw the disdainful eyes.

Ji Leyu, “……”

Ji Leyu snorted. Then he raised his hand to apply the bubbles in his hands to his body.

Disliking me again!

It is too much to dislike me!

Hmph!

Lin Fei calmly rinsed off the foam on his body and chin with water. Then he applied shower gel on himself.

Lin Luoqing finished applying shower gel on Ji Leyu. He turned around and found that Lin Fei was almost finished.

“You applied it yourself.”

Lin Fei nodded. “I know how to take a bath by myself.”

“So do I.” Ji Leyu wasn’t to be outdone.

“Oh.”

Ji Leyu thought, ‘…Why does this answer feel perfunctory?’

“You don’t believe me?”

“I believe you.” Lin Fei was calm. “It isn’t difficult and you aren’t stupid.”

Ji Leyu, “……”

Ji Leyu didn’t want to talk to him any longer.

Lin Luoqing quickly washed and dried him. Then he carried Ji Leyu out and helped Lin Fei dry himself. After that, Lin Fei was carried back to the bed in the bedroom.

Ji Leyu had already changed into his pajamas. Then he saw Lin Fei coming and he huffed.

“Fei Fei, put on your pajamas first. I’ll go talk to your uncle and say we will sleep together at night.” Lin Luoqing touched his head.

Ji Yuxiao didn’t like to get in and out of his wheelchair in front of his children. He was afraid that the two children would see him not being able to use his legs. So every time, he would get in the car or the bed in advance.

Due to this, Lin Luoqing wanted to go and talk to him first. This way, he could get into bed first and maintain what he had always wanted to maintain.

Lin Fei nodded and started to change into pajamas after he left.

Ji Leyu sat beside him, white and tender little feet kicking his legs. Then Ji Leyu asked him, “Why do you dislike me again?”

Lin Fei felt that this strength wasn’t heavy, but soft, so he let it go.

“Speak.” Ji Leyu continued to kick him.

Lin Fei put on the pajama top. Then he stood up and put on his pajama pants. It was only then that he turned his head to look at Ji Leyu and say softly, “Childish.”

Ji Leyu, “……”

“I’m not childish!” Ji Leyu wanted to continue to kick but. But once his little foot kicked out, he found that he only kicked the air.

Ji Leyu, “……”

Lin Fei sat down again and said softly, “Stupid.”

Ji Leyu, “!!!”

Ji Leyu was so angry that he raised his foot to kick again. Lin Fei grabbed his ankle and held it in his hand.

Ji Leyu immediately changed to his other foot to kick, but he was directly grabbed by Lin Fei’s other hand.

Ji Leyu was dissatisfied and puffed up his face in anger.

Lin Fei held his ankle, saw his still angry appearance and asked him, “Are you still kicking me?”

“I’ll kick you to death,” Ji Leyu cried out angrily.

After he finished speaking, he moved his foot and tried to pull it back. However, Lin Fei didn’t let him go.

“Let go,” Ji Leyu said coquettishly while shaking his little foot.

“Will you still kick?”

“No no no.” Ji Leyu was helpless. He would really kick Lin Fei next time!

Lin Fei let go.

Ji Leyu saw that he let go so didn’t bother to pull it back. He placed his leg on Lin Fei’s lap and acted in a spoiled manner. “It is red from you pinching it.”

Lin Fei looked down. This obviously wasn’t the case. He didn’t use any strength and Ji Leyu’s ankles were still as white as ever.

“Where is the redness?” He asked.

Ji Leyu shook his ankle. “It is red when I look at it. You dislike me and pinch me. You aren’t a good brother.”

“Oh.”

“But if you coax me, I won’t care about it.” Ji Leyu looked merciful.

Lin Fei smiled and said nothing.

“What are you smiling at?” Ji Leyu was dissatisfied and stepped on his calf. “You should coax me.”

Lin Fei was helpless. He raised his hand to lift the foot and got out of bed.

Ji Leyu was puzzled. “Where are you going?”

“Washing my hands.”

“Didn’t you just take a bath?”

Lin Fei, “……”

“So you want me to touch your head after just pinching your feet?”

Ji Leyu, “……”

Ji Leyu waved at him. “Remember to use hand sanitizer.”

“You are disliking your own feet.”

Ji Leyu said righteously, “Dad said that hand sanitizer is needed when washing your hands.”

Lin Fei looked at him with a faint smile in his eyes.

Most of the time, he thought that Ji Leyu was quite cute. He might be naive, childish, coquettish, clingy, duplicitous, hypocritical, cunning, lied without blinking, did bad things without guilt, wasn’t good at treating gifts from others well and didn’t like to read…

Wait. Lin Fei stopped suddenly. So where was he cute?

Were these all things he disliked?

He glanced back at Ji Leyu, who blinked doubtfully and cocked his head again, pure and beautiful.

“What’s wrong?” Ji Leyu asked him.

“Do you think you are cute?” Lin Fei asked.

Ji Leyu proudly raised his head while not showing any modesty. “Super cute!”

Lin Fei saw the openness in his eyes and nodded after a long time. Okay, he also felt that Ji Leyu was indeed quite cute.

He turned around and headed to the bathroom. He washed his hands, sat on the bed again and touched Ji Leyu’s head. Then he took this person into his arms. “You are good.”

Lin Luoqing pushed open the door to his bedroom and told Ji Yuxiao, “Xiao Yu and Fei Fei want to come and sleep with us.”

“Okay.” Ji Yuxiao had no objections.

“Then I’ll call them.”

“Yes.”

Lin Luoqing cleared the way. Ji Yuxiao put down his phone and moved himself onto the bed.

It was still a happy night for the family of four. Lin Luoqing went on to tell the sequel of the Calabash brothers.

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu fell asleep accompanied by the Calabash brothers and Lin Luoqing fell asleep in Ji Yuxiao’s arms.

The dream was peaceful with high mountains and wide waters. Ji Yuxiao stood not far away, looking at him with a smile.

The days passed peacefully. A few days later, it was time for Lin Luoqing to join the crew.

Wu Xinyuan sent him the address of the hotel and the schedule form, telling Lin Luoqing that he would pick him up when it was time.

Lin Luoqing nodded. “Okay.”

“Have you finished reading the script?”

“I have.”

“That’s good. Once the time comes, you will receive the second half of the script. So you should hurry and familiarize yourself with the previous content now. It is best to memorize the lines as well.”

“It is already memorized.” Lin Luoqing told him.

Wu Xinyuan, “!!!”

This was really different from what Brother Li said!

“Then you are very good.”

“I have also read the original novel,” Lin Luoqing said. “Don’t worry. I have prepared myself.”’

Wu Xinyuan, “……”

Wu Xinyuan felt that this person was a bit better than expected. No, it should be said that he was much easier to look after.

“Okay. Have a good rest. I will see you the day after tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

Lin Luoqing hung up the phone. He thought about how he would leave the day after tomorrow to join the crew. In these two days, why not have Ji Yuxiao pay back what he owed before?

He thought of this and when he came out of the bathroom at night, he didn’t blow dry his hair. He asked Ji Yuxiao to help blow dry it for him.

Ji Yuxiao didn’t refuse and patiently helped him blow it.

Lin Luoqing turned to look at him with a sweet smile.

Ji Yuxiao stared at him, always feeling that these eyes were ill-intentioned.

“What are you looking at?”

“It is a look of debt collection.”

Ji Yuxiao was puzzled. “When did I owe you a debt?”

“Then ask yourself.” He looked at Ji Yuxiao and blinked. “You still owe me one more time. Shouldn’t you pay me back?”

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

Ji Yuxiao finally understood what he meant by ‘debt.’

He coughed and persuaded Lin Luoqing. “It is late. Don’t make trouble.”

“Isn’t late at night the right time to make trouble?” Lin Luoqing said in a plausible manner.

Ji Yuxiao was helpless. “Wait for next time. I will definitely pay you back.”

“When is the next time?”

“Didn’t I say it before? When the timing is right.”

“So when will the timing be right?”

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

Lin Luoqing folded his hands and lay on Ji Yuxiao’s lap. His eyelashes seemed like little hooks that grabbed Ji Yuxiao’s throbbing heart.

“What if I don’t look? I’ll help you just like you helped me. Won’t that work? Don’t you need to liberate your nature?”
