Glancing at the watch on his right wrist, Feng Xizhan sighed quietly and quickened his pace.
"It's so late again…"
It was now 11:28 pm, and the moon was bright in the sky. However, it was too late for a university student to go home at this time.
He had just reached the door of his house, but before he could take a step through the door, he looked at his mother in surprise, who almost bumped into him.
"Ah, Xizhan, you came back just in time.”Mother Feng looked up at him with a smile.
"Eh?"
"Go to the supermarket and buy me a bottle of oolong tea, the kind that costs 2000C.”She handed over the task that originally belonged to her to her son who had just returned home.
"Mom…you're joking, right?"
He was exhausted from working in the coffee shop, and because he was late for the night shift, Feng Xizhan, who was supposed to get off work at 10 am, was kept by the manager for an extra hour. He thought that he could finally take a hot bath when he got home, but he was stopped by his mother at the door and was also assigned a boring task.
"Hurry up and go. Why are you still standing at the door?”
"Are you that thirsty to insist on drinking oolong tea now?”He raised his eyebrows and looked at his mother, who was shorter than his chin, with some helplessness and ridicule.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Silly boy, there's a guest at home!”She reached out and hit the top of his head. She frowned and rolled her eyes at him.
"Guest?"
Which insensible person would visit someone at such a time?
"That's right. Anyway, just go and come back quickly.”
To put it nicely, he was filial, but to put it bluntly, he didn't have the guts to disobey the orders of the people who provided for him. After secretly sighing in his heart, Feng Xizhan shrugged and scratched his head helplessly. He turned around and dragged his tired body to the convenience store on the next street.
Pushing open the door heavily, Feng Xizhan placed the drinks he had bought on the porch and shouted toward the empty corridor,"I'm back."
The words that could have been said ten minutes ago had been delayed until now under his mother's order.
"Seriously, why did you take so long?”It was Mr. Feng who heard his shout. He glared at his son, who was so tired that his shoulders were almost drooping, with a reproachful look on his face. He even complained unhappily,"Did you wander to the end of the world? Didn't your mother tell you to come back as soon as possible?”
"I'm already running!”Feng Xizhan couldn't help but scratch his head and defend himself in a low voice.
It was one thing to be ordered around for no reason, but after dragging his fatigue to complete his mission, he actually had to endure complaints.
"Let's not talk nonsense." Father Feng was clearly the one who scolded him the moment he opened his mouth, but he looked as if it was his son's fault for delaying. "Come quickly into the living room, you've got a surprise guest!”
"Who is it?"
Confused, Feng Xizhan followed his father, who was mysteriously excited for some reason, and walked through the corridor that connected the entrance.
Before he reached his destination, the cheerful laughter from the living room made him unconsciously stop and frown.
"That voice is…"
How could that person not be the little devil in his imagination? Because he had already left Taiwan two years ago! Feng Xizhan quickly comforted himself.
"What are you doing?" Sensing his sudden hesitation, Mr. Feng turned around and asked in confusion.
"No, I'm fine."
Although she tried her best to dispel her doubts, the hair on the back of her neck stood up for some reason.
He shook his head vigorously and told himself firmly that as long as he went to the living room to verify it, the worries in his heart would immediately be swept away.
"You must have lost your mind from working." Father Feng commented as he stared at his son, who had been behaving strangely the moment he got home.
Feng Xizhan laughed dryly and quickened his pace into the living room.
"Yo, you've grown so big." Coincidentally, Feng Lizhen, who was facing him, stood up and looked at her long-lost brother with a smile.
Seeing his only sister whom he hadn't seen for nearly two years, Feng Xizhan couldn't be genuinely happy.
"Sister?" He believed that he must be dumbfounded at this moment, because since his sister had returned, it meant…
"Uncle!" A boy with beautiful black hair turned around and stood up from the sofa.
"As expected!"
He opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but he realized that he could not make a sound.
"I miss you so much, Uncle." He rushed to his side in a few steps. The boy had a beautiful face that even a beautiful girl could not compare to.
" Close to the court..." Swallowing with difficulty, Feng Xizhan found himself wanting to turn around and escape.
Yu Jinting, the nemesis of his life, had indeed followed his sister back to Taiwan.
In an instant, Feng Xizhan found himself breaking out in cold sweat.
The sweet smile that made everyone fall head over heels for him was a declaration that his stable life was coming to an end.
Yu Jinting, who was supposed to be in the first year of the National High School this year, was unbelievably still the same as before. He had a beautiful face that surpassed those so-called teenage boy killers on television. His eyebrows were slightly curved and raised, his eyes were clear and mesmerizing, followed by a small and straight nose bridge, and then a pair of red and attractive thin lips. Finally, what made this already beautiful face even more attractive was his soft white skin that was like cream and red.
As he was still young, his height was only at Feng Xizhan's current height, but because he still had seven or eight years of puberty, it was hard to say when he would surpass him.
No matter how one looked at it, it was hard to believe that such a stunning face could come from a boy, but that was the truth.
What was even more amazing was that his body was slightly thin due to the constant pulling. No matter how one looked at it, he looked like a model.
However, in Feng Xizhan's eyes, Yu Jinting's appearance only brought back his nightmarish memories.
These words had to start from the Feng family's family history of "valuing women over men".
Twenty-two years ago, the Feng couple, who only had one precious pearl, originally did not plan to "increase production and serve the country" again. However, Madam Feng unexpectedly became pregnant. After learning that the fetus in her stomach was a boy, she and her husband decided to abort him.
On the surface, the reason was that she was not considered young at that time and was at risk of becoming an advanced mother. However, in fact, the reason why they didn't want to keep the child was that both husband and wife only wanted a cute daughter and kept a respectful distance from their son who might cause trouble in the future.
If that was the case, Feng Xizhan shouldn't have existed in this world now. Fortunately, Feng Lizhan, who was already twenty years old at that time…was the apple of the Feng couple's eye. She had always wanted a younger sister or brother to play with in her arms, so Feng Xizhan's appearance could be said to be at the right time. It was also because of this that he was born by the somewhat unwilling Madam Feng.
In other words, Feng Xizhan was able to stand here today thanks to his sister, Feng Lizhan, who was much younger than him. She had persuaded his parents in all sorts of ways.
Although it was bad luck to be destined to be unloved before he was born, Feng Xizhan's real disaster only began after Yu Jinting was born.
When he was in the third grade of elementary school, his sister gave birth to a boy who should have been as unpopular as him. That boy was Yu Jinting.
Logically speaking, since Yu Jinting was the son of the man who stole the precious daughter of the Feng couple and was born a man, he should be ostracized by everyone in the family.
However, since he was born, he relied on his beautiful face that surpassed all the girls in the world. For some reason, he was super good at acting coquettishly to the Feng couple…his grandparents. Unknowingly, the members of the Feng family who had originally disliked him were easily subdued by him. The entire family doted on him so much that they almost held him in their hands and loved him.
However, his uncle, who was only nine years older than him, was not among the elders who loved him.
At first, Feng Xizhan had no reaction to his appearance and being favored, because he had long been used to his parents 'attitude of wanting their daughter to be better than their son.
The reason why he started to dislike this nephew who was prettier than all the beautiful girls was because he realized that as long as he was around, his life would definitely not be easy.
Because the Feng couple doted on their grandson, they asked their son to do the same. Feng Xizhan's tribulation began here.
It didn't matter if he wasn't valued by his parents. He had been used to this kind of treatment since he was sensible. What he found most unbearable was that they ordered him to protect Yu Jinting tightly.
One of the most important aspects of the so-called 'airtight' was that one must not disobey his will and must not disappoint him. To be more specific, Feng Xizhan had to do his best to get or buy whatever he wanted, and this was a relatively easy task.
What gave Feng Xizhan the biggest headache was the condition of not letting him suffer any harm.
Before Yu Jinting went to primary school, he was a child who seemed to be hyperactive. He often ran around energetically, causing Feng Xizhan, who happened to be in the middle of the national junior high school examination, to give up his precious study time and obediently accompany his nephew who liked to wander around.
Once, when he wasn't paying attention, Yu Jinting accidentally fell to the ground. There was only a small bruise on his knee, but he was punished and not allowed to receive pocket money for a month.
For a middle school student who had no ability to make a living and could not find time to work, pocket money was the key to everything except reading and sleeping time. Therefore, the month when his pocket was empty was really quite difficult. He could only borrow money from his classmates when he forgot to bring his lunch.
From then on, he could only do his best to protect his little nephew's safety. For example, he would slide under him before he was about to fall again, so that he would be unharmed.
He didn't know if he realized that he had a scapegoat, but after the first time, Yu Jinting fell down a second time and a third time very quickly. The frequency of the fall was so frequent that Feng Xizhan couldn't help but suspect that he had done it on purpose.
If Yu Jinting clearly hated his company, he might have a chance to escape from this nightmare. However, for some reason, Yu Jinting seemed to like his company very much. He always stuck to him like a stalker and refused to leave his uncle.
Thanks to this troublesome nephew, his high school life was really scary. Until the Yu couple had to temporarily move abroad because of work, his life was like sitting on pins and needles and treading on thin ice.
But there was another reason why he couldn't like his nephew…
"Xizhan, why are you in a daze?”Feng Lizhen looked at her long-lost brother with amusement.
" Uh, I…" Feng Xizhan, who didn't dare to speak the truth, could only laugh in a daze.
"Of course, it's because I haven't seen Jinting in a long time. I'm so happy that I can't speak!”Mother Feng explained with a smile.
Perhaps it was because Yu Jinting 'ai was by his side, but the whole family misunderstood that their relationship was so good that they were glued together. Little did they know that he actually hated this nephew to death.
"That's true. Your relationship is so good.”Feng Lizhen sighed and said,""It's no wonder that Jin Ting couldn't bear to leave. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that Jin Ting kept clamoring to come back, we might have to wait another two or three years before we could finish the work there!”
"Eh?" Feng Xizhan's heart skipped a beat. He stole a glance at Yu Jinting and found that he was looking at him with a smug expression.
"I like Uncle very much. Moreover, I've already endured it for two years. If I don't come back soon, I'll go crazy.”Yu Jinting said eloquently.
He turned his head, and his pitiful expression, which was completely different from before, immediately won the loving gazes of the Feng couple and his parents.
What was this little devil up to?
Feng Xizhan looked at him warily, finding it hard to explain what the uneasiness in his heart meant.
"Lizong, you guys are really too much." Patting his beloved grandson's head tenderly, Father Feng complained to his daughter,"If I had known this would happen, wouldn't we have just done as we said and placed the court in Taiwan?”
"No way! How could I bear to be separated from my cute son?”
"What are you talking about? Jinting is still in class, and he's still young. It's not good for education to bring him around like this.”
"How can that be? We both pay great attention to his education!”
"But no matter what, it's better to be more stable!”
Just as the Feng couple and their daughter and son-in-law were engaged in a war of words, Feng Xizhan finally found an opportunity to escape back to his room, but he was caught red-handed by the sharp-eyed Yu Jinting.
"Uncle, aren't you going to accompany me?" He deliberately put on a sad look.
"No, no!" Immediately receiving the angry gazes of his entire family, Feng Xizhan hurriedly shook his hand and denied," I'm just a little tired. I just came back from work! I want to take a shower first."
That was close, he almost had to suffer again.
"In that case, you guys can take a shower together!”Mother Feng suddenly suggested.
" What?" Feng Xizhan's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"You must be tired from the court, right? Hurry up and take a shower. It's more comfortable."
"Okay, Grandma."
Yu Jinting gave her a sweet smile, which made Mr. and Mrs. Feng glare at Mrs. Feng with jealousy.
"Why? Why didn't they just wash it when they went back?”Before the matter was settled, Feng Xizhan hurriedly made a dying struggle.
The Yu family's residence was about a 15-minute walk from here. Two years ago, the Yu family had only left temporarily, so the house was still there.
"Didn't I say that? Your sister and her family will be staying here for a few days.”
"Eh?"
"They just came back. The house has been empty for two years and it takes a lot of effort to clean it up, so they'll stay here for the time being until the house is tidied up.”
"Stay…stay here?" Feng Xizhan swore that he had a bad feeling.
"That's right." Mr. Feng nodded matter-of-factly." Anyway, Lizao's room has always been empty. The couple will sleep there." As for the court, he can sleep in your room.”
"My, my room."
"Don't you have a bed with an upper and lower layer? After tidying up the things on the upper floor, it could be used as a temporary bed near the courtyard.”
"Why did I…"
Just as Feng Xizhan opened his mouth to fight for his privacy, Yu Jinting instantly cut him off and looked at him pitifully.
"Uncle doesn't like to be in the same room as me?”
Before Feng Xizhan, whose face had turned pale, could confirm or deny his words, Mother Feng smiled arrogantly and patted her precious grandson's head.
"How is that possible? Your uncle is just arguing because we didn't mention it to him beforehand. Of course, he likes you very much!”
"But Uncle might feel that it's too crowded to have another person in the room, so he's not very happy!”
"It's impossible!" Father Feng also interrupted.
Feng Xizhan once again realized how much he lacked status in this family. He hid his helplessness in his heart and obediently played the role of a good uncle.
"Haha, you think too much." He moved his stiff lips and forced a smile." Why wouldn't I welcome you?”
"That's right. Your relationship is so good. Sleeping in the same room is just nice for you to chat.”Feng Lizhen, who didn't understand, nodded.
"Really?" Yu Jinting still had a lovable expression.
"Who would be willing to lie to you?" She hugged her son dotingly.
"Then hurry up and take a shower. After you're done, Grandma will make you a snack, okay?”
"Thank you, Grandma." It was another beautiful angel smile.
"What a difference in treatment."
Feng Xizhan secretly lamented for himself. He had never been able to make his mother work in the kitchen for him at this time.
"By the way, Grandma, can you help Uncle get some too? He looked very tired and needed to replenish his nutrients at this time.”
"Of course it's good. Jinting was really a considerate child!”Mrs. Feng frowned and turned to her son." You should learn more."”
Nodding expressionlessly, Feng Xizhan was actually furious.
You don't have to pretend!
He was clearly a hateful brat. She really didn't understand where he learned to put on such an act.#
