The words from Fei Bai were like a reassurance pill for Luo Yusen. He breathed a sigh of relief and softly said “Thank you” into the phone.
At this moment, someone accompanying him came over to remind him, “Mr. Luo, it’s almost time for your speech.”
Luo Yusen nodded, succinctly telling Fei Bai, “I’ll have the driver pick you up at the school gate.”
After making a call to the driver, he put down his phone, straightened his tie, took a few deep breaths, and resumed his usual dignified demeanor.
Fei Bai returned to his seat and browsed the CiteSpace webpage for a while. When he received a text message from Luo’s driver, he promptly closed his laptop, put it in his backpack, and left the library towards the school gate.
He didn’t find anything strange about Luo Yusen’s reason for speaking at the technology forum. University professors often take their graduate students to academic conferences, and for Luo Yusen, an outstanding student of Professor Chen, it was perfectly normal to speak at such an event.
However, what Fei Bai didn’t know was that if he hadn’t been distracted by his phone while walking, he would have seen a live broadcast of the National Computer Society’s thematic forum on the large screen in front of the technology building. The CEO of Fengyun Technology, Luo Yusen, was giving a speech titled “Advancing the Development of the CAD Ecosystem.”
Just as Fei Bai entered the gate of Luo’s house, a plastic toy part flew towards him like a flurry of petals. He quickly dodged to the side and saw Luo Feifei struggling desperately, with Aunt Zhang holding her in her arms in a state of panic. The door to the training room was still open, and a cardboard box used to store toys was lying on the ground in pieces.
He squatted down, picked up the small parts that had just been thrown by Luo Feifei, and identified them one by one in his hand. There were small wheels, handles, a rear bucket, and a wrench, resembling parts of an engineering vehicle toy.
“Auntie, can you tell me what happened?” Fei Bai walked over and asked Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang, seeing him like a lifesaver, said, “Xiaofei, you finally came. When I was playing with Feifei this afternoon, we were dismantling a set of assembly toys. I don’t know what happened, but as soon as I handed her the plastic wrench, she immediately went off…”

Fei Baii could imagine how Feifei reacted. He interrupted Aunt Zhang’s description and confirmed with her, “You mean she had an exaggerated reaction to the wrench?”

“Well done, Feifei.”
Then he said to Aunt Zhang, “Could you please let her go? Actually, she doesn’t like being held by someone.”
Aunt Zhang did as he said and sighed, “I have no choice. If I don’t hold her, she runs around everywhere. If I let her be, I’m afraid the house will need reconstruction by the time Mr. Luo returns.”
Fei Bai randomly picked a small wheel from the pile of parts behind him and waved it in front of Feifei.
“Feifei, are you afraid of this?”
Feifei didn’t respond, but her expression remained unchanged until he took out the wrench. In an instant, fear filled her eyes, and she tried to run away quickly. Fei Bai caught her reaction and immediately grabbed her arm and said, “Are you afraid of this? Feibai Gege will accompany you to throw it away. Okay?”
Feifei struggled to free her arm, continuously uttering a repetitive set of syllables. Fei Bai tried hard to listen and felt like she was saying the words “don’t hit.” He furrowed his brows, sensing Feifei’s tiny body trembling.
Fei Bai lowered his tone, repeating what he had just said. Feifei finally hesitated and nodded.
Thinking about the last time Feifei squatted by the edge of the pool and fell in while playing, Fei Bai came up with an idea. He led the little girl out of the door, walked to the vicinity of the pool, and with a swoosh, he threw the wrench into it.
“Did you see it, Feifei? It’s thrown in here. As long as you stay away from here, you won’t see it again,” Fei Bai said with a smile.
Feifei’s fear finally dissipated. Her hand was no longer trembling. She hugged Fei Bai’s arm and muttered something incomprehensible.
Fei Bai took her back to the training room and told Aunt Zhang that he would spend some time calming Feifei down. Then he closed the door, crossed his legs, and sat beside Feifei.
First, he watched cartoons with her for a while. When her emotions had somewhat stabilized, he turned off the TV and gently said to her, “Feifei, can Fei Bai Gege ask you a question?”
Feifei nodded.
Fei Bai carefully said, “Before… has anyone ever hit you? With a wrench?”
He was sure Feifei understood his words because her pupils shrank for a moment, and the fearful expression from earlier returned to her face.
“Don’t be afraid,” Fei Bai reassured her as he tucked her hair behind her ear. “Nothing like that will happen again. Your brother and I will protect you well.”
After finishing his speech at the thematic forum, Luo Yusen hastily left without even hearing the organizer’s farewell words. The car sped all the way, and when he arrived home, he swiftly unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed open the door, and strode into the yard.
He expected to see chaos everywhere, with Fei Bai comforting Feifei. However, to his surprise, the house was tidier than when he left in the morning, indicating it had been cleaned up.
Seeing Luo Yusen enter, Aunt Zhang, who was standing at the door of the training room, greeted him and then gestured inside, indicating Fei Bai and Feifei were there.
Seeing Aunt Zhang’s calm expression, Luo Yusen relaxed. He pushed open the door and walked in to see Fei Bai and Feifei watching cartoons. While watching, Fei Bai turned his head and asked his sister, “Hey Feifei, don’t you think SpongeBob looks like a piece of cake wearing pants?”
Fei Bai had just finished speaking when he saw Luo Yusen push the door and enter. He quietly smiled at him.
Luo Yusen asked Feifei a few questions and, seeing that she had fully recovered, subtly signaled to Feibai by tilting his chin towards the door.
Fei Bai nodded and said to Feifei, “Feifei, let Aunt Zhang accompany you for a while. Fei Bai will go to the restroom and be back soon.”
Feifei, who was engrossed in watching, responded indifferently.
Fei Bai followed Luo Yusen out into the yard, knowing what he wanted to ask. Before Luo Yusen could speak, Fei Bai said, “This time, there seems to be a reason behind Feifei’s reaction. There was a wrench among the toys, and when she saw it, she lost control, as if… someone had hit her with a wrench.”
When he uttered the last sentence, he lowered his voice, fearing Luo Yusen might not want to discuss the matter.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Luo Yusen’s brows furrowed.
