Upon hearing Fei Bai call him “Uncle Luo,” Luo Yusen paused in his action of buttoning Fei Bai’s clothes. Instead, he pressed against the side of his hip, trapping him in the narrow space between himself and the sofa.
Lowering his head, he asked, “What kind of elder are you satisfied with then?”
Fei Bai grumbled, “They should at least look like an elder…”
Right now, he looked far from being an elder, rather more like an old rogue.
“Look like an elder?” Luo Yusen smirked. “Alright, then let me ask you. Who allowed you to lend your exam paper to others casually?”
Lend exam papers to others casually? Fei Bai realized he was referring to what Xu Xiangcheng had just mentioned. He couldn’t help but be stunned. Was Luo Yusen… jealous? Or was he just teasing him?
Luo Yusen held Fei Bai’s chin with one hand. “Speak.”
Fei Bai, feeling nervous, began to babble, “I… I just lent it, you know, to do a good deed, to burn myself and help others…”
Luo Yusen raised an eyebrow. “Helping others? How did you help? Did you also give him private tutoring?”
Fei Bai had indeed helped, but he didn’t dare to say it. He tried to evade the topic, saying, “Shixiong, can you not nitpick?”
“Shixiong? Am I not Uncle Luo anymore?” Luo Yusen asked leisurely.
Fei Bai now understood where he had offended him. He immediately apologized. “I’m sorry, Shixiong. You’re not Uncle Luo. You’re exceptionally young, the youngest.”
The morning passed quickly. Fei Bai kept glancing at the clock, trying to estimate how much time was left until lunch. Finally, Luo Yusen couldn’t stand it anymore. He confiscated Fei Bai’s watch and phone, placing them aside and instructing him to focus on studying.
Fei Bai thought to himself that it was all because Luo Yusen had agreed to have lunch with Xu Geyang, but he didn’t dare to say it. He simply kept quiet, anxiously waiting for noon to arrive.
Around eleven o’clock, Xu Xiangcheng knocked on the door once again, asking Luo Yusen and Fei Bai if they wanted to ride with him.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Luo Yusen glanced at Fei Bai, who immediately sent a silent message with his eyes, indicating they shouldn’t.

Luo Yusen glanced at him. “Scared?”
“Not scared,” Fei Bai denied through gritted teeth.
In the private room, Xu Xiangcheng and his son were already waiting for them. Fei Bai noticed that Xu Geyang didn’t look too happy and was probably also being forced to come.
Seeing Luo Yusen and Fei Bai arrive, Xu Xiangcheng warmly stood up to greet them. Then he told Luo Yusen, “Let the two kids sit together, and you and I will sit together. Let the kids chat, and we can talk about our matters.”
Fei Bai was horrified by this suggestion and immediately scooted closer to Luo Yusen.
Luo Yusen soothingly patted his waist and casually remarked, “He’ll sit with me.”
Then he added, “Kids tend to stick to adults.”
Xu Xiangcheng disappointedly replied, “That’s fine,” then noticed his son’s strange expression—teeth clenched as if he’d been beaten but couldn’t retaliate.
He remembered how reluctant his son was when he invited him to dinner, feeling a chill in his heart. Could it be that his son and Fei Bai actually had a bad relationship?
Did his son intend to copy Fei Bai’s test paper when he brought it home?
Thinking even worse, maybe his son had even resorted to threatening the good student.
Xu Xiangcheng knew his son’s disdain for studying. The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. However, he couldn’t ask directly at the moment. So, he ambiguously asked Xu Geyang, “Are you feeling unwell?”
“None of your business,” Xu Geyang retorted.
Xu Xiangcheng almost cursed but couldn’t do so in front of Luo Yusen. He slapped Xu Geyang on the back of his head with a serious face. “If you’re not feeling unwell, then wipe that sulky face off. It’s not your turn to put on airs in front of your father.”
Fei Bai observed Xu Geyang’s expression and felt like he might explode if someone struck a match beside him right now.
It made sense. Being almost twenty years old, being slapped like a child in front of others by his parents would shatter anyone’s self-esteem into pieces.
Seeing Xu Xiangcheng worried about what embarrassing behavior his temperamental son might display, he lowered his voice and said something to Xu Geyang. Xu Geyang reluctantly pulled out a chair and sat down, dragging it across the floor with a loud noise.
The atmosphere in the private room became heavy after Xu Xiangcheng’s slap. He cleared his throat and handed the menu to Luo Yusen, trying to ease the tension. “President Luo, you order.”
Luo Yusen casually handed it to Fei Bai, lifting his chin towards the menu and indicating for him to look first.
Xu Xiangcheng had never seen President Luo, the young CEO, be so accommodating to others. He looked at Fei Bai with surprise and insincerely said, “President Luo, you really treat Fei Bai so well. It’s so touching.”
Fei Bai was drinking water and almost choked when he heard this, almost spraying Xu Xiangcheng in the face.
Luo Yusen glanced at him casually. “What? Do I not treat you well?”
Fei Bai: “Treat….”
Luo Yusen smiled and continued, “Not touching?”
Fei Bai: “Touching…”
He was so touched that he almost didn’t dare move.
At that moment, there was a sudden “bang” as the cup in front of Xu Geyang toppled over, spilling hot tea all over the table. It steadily dripped down, and a nearby waiter quickly came over to help wipe the table.
Xu Xiangcheng was startled and turned to Xu Geyang, asking, “What’s wrong with you again?”
Xu Geyang provocatively looked back and retorted, “Am I to blame if it spills itself?”
Xu Xiangcheng took a deep breath, his hand already halfway up, about to hit Xu Geyang’s face, when suddenly Luo Yushen stood up, reaching out to restrain his wrist.
“It’s normal for kids to throw tantrums,” Luo Yusen said calmly. “Mine does the same.”
Fei Bai saw Xu Geyang’s face turn green.
Reluctantly, Xu Xiangcheng lowered his hand. “President Luo, you’re right. Let’s spare him today.”
Fei Bai felt like he had been fed up with all the chaos before the meal even began. He casually flipped through the menu, ordered a dish, and pushed it back to Luo Yusen.
Luo Yusen added a few more dishes according to Fei Bai’s preferences. Xu Xiangcheng said on the side, “This restaurant has been open for years. Everyone who’s been here says it’s delicious. There’s a couple downstairs from my place who pack food from here every day.”
Fei Bai muttered quietly, “Have they not learned to cook after all this time…?”
After all, even someone like him, a kitchen disaster-prone rookie, could learn.
Xu Xiangcheng was momentarily stunned by this unusual observation, unsure of how to respond.
Luo Yusen glanced at him and said lightly, “They’re not as smart as you.”
“Oh, Fei Bai can cook too,” Xu Xiangcheng seized the opportunity to flatter.
No one expected Xu Geyang to interrupt at this moment. “No, he can’t. I know.”
Fei Bai was momentarily taken aback, seeing a dangerous smirk appear on Xu Geyang’s lips.
Wait, what is this lunatic up to?
What a show!
Thank You for the new chapter (♡´艸`)
Lunatic indeed 🤣🤣 the chaos before lunch is so tense already.. I wonder why on earth Luo Yusen ageeed to it considering he already knows Fei Bai’s circumtances and Xu dad’s motive… It’s almost as if he just wants to see some show 🙄
Yes, to claim ‘what is his’ because he can’t do it directly… Luo Yusen is still 18 years old
Make sense 🤔 claiming Fei Bai as his to Xu Geyang is really his style
I love the drama, thank you Luo Yusen for inviting these people I’m enjoying it very much carry on 😩
Loving this face off/ show off!
