As soon as Luo Yusen entered the company’s door, Luo Chengcheng greeted him with a cheerful smile. He first pretended to check the time on his phone and then pretended to be surprised as he looked him up and down.
“Yo, is this still my brother?”
“If I wasn’t your brother, I would have fired you a long time ago,” Luo Yusen said expressionlessly.
Luo Chengcheng pouted, “Can’t you stop having a poker face every time I make a joke with you? It’s too boring. Imagine Fei Bai looking at this face of yours.”
“Luo Chengcheng, even though you are my brother, I can still fire you.” Luo Yusen interrupted him and walked straight into his office.
After working for a while, he heard Secretary Zheng knock on the door and say, “President Lou.”
Luo Yusen said, “Come in,” while browsing through yesterday’s daily reports. She reported on the clients he needed to meet and the matters he needed to handle in the next few days. Meanwhile, his phone vibrated, but he didn’t pay it any attention.
After listening to Secretary Zheng for twenty minutes, she finally got to the last item. “By the way, President Luo, a student club from S University, emailed our company. They claim to be the Marathon Association and have heard that you are an extreme sports enthusiast. They are seeking sponsorship for their upcoming autumn mountain marathon competition on their campus. Do you have any thoughts on this?”
Luo Yusen has always been generous in such matters. He told Secretary Zheng, “Write a sponsorship agreement and bring it to me for approval. Then have the finance department transfer the funds.”
After Secretary Zheng left, he remembered the vibration of his phone a while ago. So, he unlocked his phone and saw Fei Bai’s message. Fei Bai had sent him the picture drawn by Luo Feifei, asking him what it was.
“Seaweed,” Luo Yusen replied.
Seaweed? Fei Bai found this answer quite magical, with a feeling of being absurd yet making sense. So he held Luo Feifei’s drawing and asked her, “Fei Fei, is this what you drew, seaweed?”
Luo Feifei looked at him with a “how did you figure it out” look and nodded vigorously.
It really was.

Luo Yusen was indeed her brother.

“Ktja wjxfr rfcrf,” Oeb Terfc rjlv, “yea wjlcis yfmjerf rtf ilxfr la. Yea bo afc vgjklcur, clcf bo atfw jgf rfjkffv.”
“What about the remaining one?” Fei Bai asked curiously.
Luo Yusen said, “Peppa Pig, because the seaweed packaging she likes has Peppa Pig on it.”
Fei Bai was momentarily surprised, thinking about the row of paintings hanging in the corridor outside. Not only the one he had mistaken for a hairdryer, but also the ones that were unidentifiable were also Peppa Pig.
“Feifei, you’re really quite talented. Look at how you’ve drawn this seaweed in 3D. I guarantee that there’s no one else in the world who can draw it like this,” he said sincerely.
Satisfied with the praise, Luo Feifei went off to play. Fei Bai glanced at his phone and saw that Qiao Li had sent him a message again.
Qiao Li: “How about it? Are you going?”
Fei Bai hesitated, “No, can’t we teach him a lesson without choosing such a time-consuming and exhausting method?”
“You don’t want to go?” Qiao Li asked.
“I don’t want to,” Fei Bai replied.
After running this marathon, he would probably collapse from exhaustion before successfully setting up any scams.
Qiao Li insincerely said, “Oh dear, it might be difficult if you don’t want to.”
Fei Bai asked cautiously, “Why?”
“Because, after coming up with this plan, I thought it was just too perfect. I got excited and signed us both up overnight.”
Fei Bai sighed, “Why didn’t you get excited and write my assignments overnight instead?”
“Also, because they will distribute competition uniforms and such. Once you register, you can’t cancel to prevent wasting resources,” Qiao Li added.
Fei Bai said, “Thanks a lot.”
Well, forget it. It’s just a marathon. He would consider it a way to exercise. Fei Bai didn’t discuss this matter further with Qiao Li and continued to focus on being a tutor.
It was warmer than usual that day, and the air was still warm as night fell. The sunset’s rays bathed the courtyard in golden light, and the pond where ornamental fish were kept shimmered. The breeze carried the subtle scent of plants through the window.
Fei Bai noticed that Luo Feifei kept looking out the window absentmindedly. Seeing that it was almost time for the lesson to end, he paused their voice training and asked her, “Would you like to go out and play in the courtyard?”
Luo Feifeii nodded in agreement.
So, Fei Bai held her hand and walked towards the door. After saying a word to Aunt Zhang, they left the lobby on the first floor. Aunt Zhang followed them to prevent any accidents from happening to Luo Feifei.
Luo Feifei hadn’t left the house since the National Day holiday. Now, suddenly being let out, she immediately started running around happily like a little horse on the grassland.
Although the yard at the Luo family’s home was only about a quarter the size of their school’s playground, Fei Bai was worried that Luo Feifei might stumble while running between the rockery and the pond in the courtyard. So he ran alongside her.
As they ran, Fei Bai started to feel tired and wanted to stop and rest. But he also felt embarrassed that his physical fitness was not as good as that of a nine-year-old child. So he continued to push himself while panting heavily.
Just then, Luo Yusen came back from work. He saw Fei Bai being exhausted beside Feifei. He quickly walked over to stop his little sister.
“Feifei, take a break. Look how tired you’ve made Fei Bai.”
Still hunched over and gasping for air, Fei Bai appeared to be strong as he answered, “Shixiong, I’m… not… tired… at all.”
“Then keep running,” Luo Yusen said.
Fei Bai was taken aback. He straightened up and looked at Luo Yusen.
“Huh?”
The warm orange sunlight made the boy’s eyes shine brightly. The few strands of hair on his forehead were damp with sweat and hung low, making him look even more gentle and obedient.
Luo Yusen looked at him and suddenly reached out to brush his hair aside.
Fei Bai felt the man’s fingers brush from his brow to his temple, a brief touch of skin against skin that sent a shiver down his spine.
“You said you weren’t tired. If you’re not tired, then keep running,” Luo Yusen’s voice interrupted his momentary daze.
Fei Bai quickly said, “I’m tired. Shixiong, I’m very tired.”
A hint of a smile finally appeared in the corner of Luo Yusen’s eyes. He glanced at Luo Feifei, who was squatting by the pond. He said, “Actually, sometimes you don’t have to accommodate Feifei too much.”
“It’s fine, Shixiong,” Fei Bai said, touching the small patch of skin that Luo Yusen had just brushed. “In a couple of days, I’m participating in a marathon competition at our school, organized by the Marathon Association. It’s a mountain marathon. It’s all because of my buddy…”
Before Fei Bai could finish his sentence, they heard a “splash” not far away. He turned to see Luo Feifei splashing around in the water.
