Luo Yusen’s displeasure wasn’t directed at Fei Bai. He lightly pursed his lips and muttered the words “scum.”
Fei Bai was a bit confused. Who was Luo Yusen cursing at?
“Just now, when you mentioned the wrench, it reminded me of someone.” Luo Yusen glanced at him.
“Feifei’s stepfather works in a car machine shop. He used to work in the automotive parts city. Later, when the urban area was renovated, the automotive parts city was demolished, so he started working in a private garage.”
There was a hint of chilliness in his voice.
So it turned out that Luo Feifei was the illegitimate daughter of Luo Yusen’s father, Luo Muchen. Her biological mother was a former lover of Luo Muchen during their university days. Later, under pressure from his family, Luo Muchen entered into a business marriage with the daughter of another company’s chairman. However, he still maintained a relationship with his ex-girlfriend in secret for over a decade after marriage. It’s unclear at which time the contraception failed, but Luo Feifei’s biological mother became pregnant. She knew that Luo Muchen wouldn’t agree to her keeping the child, but she couldn’t bear to have an abortion, so she left without informing him and secretly gave birth to the child. From then on, she never saw Luo Muchen again and remarried.
“It wasn’t until three years ago when Feifei’s stepfather came to find me that I learned about these things. By that time, Feifei’s mother had already passed away from illness, and he had sent Feifei to an orphanage. This man is a compulsive gambler. He came to me asking for money, threatening to expose Feifei’s identity if I didn’t comply.”
Luo Yusen paused. “My father was a man who valued his reputation. He conducted his business with integrity throughout his life. Although his actions in this matter weren’t honorable, he’s no longer here, and I don’t want his posthumous reputation tarnished by such an incident.”
It was almost what Fei Bai had guessed. Indeed, Luo Feifei was the illegitimate daughter of the Luo family living outside.
And for Luo Yusen to willingly bring this sister back from the welfare institution was quite commendable.
Fei Bai couldn’t help but ask, “Won’t Feifei’s stepfather keep extorting you with this matter?”
Luo Yusen nodded. “He will, but I gave in the first time. There won’t be a second. I told him if he’s not satisfied, I’ll have to take some drastic measures.”
When Luo Yusen spoke “drastic measures,” his countenance was chilly and serene, highlighted by the slanting rays of the late autumn sun that projected alternating tones of light and shadow across his face.Feibai felt that Luo Yusen now resembled a gangster from a Hong Kong action movie, exuding a dangerous yet alluring aura. It felt as if he could pull out a gun from under his suit at any moment and calmly shoot into the distance, leaving a trail of chaos behind him, with countless people falling for him, willing to accompany him into the depths of danger.
Luo Yusen noticed Fei Bai’s slightly dazed expression and thought he might have frightened him. He reached out and ruffled Fei Bai’s hair. “Perhaps this isn’t something I should discuss with a child. You’re better off watching SpongeBob with Feifei.”

Luo Yusen’s eyes flickered, and he grabbed Fei Bai’s finger with his other hand. “So, proving you’re not a child involves tickling people?”
Tickling…
Feibai’s face quickly fell, and he exclaimed in frustration, “I wasn’t tickling you! I was seducing you!”
“Oh, seducing,” Luo Yusen chuckled from his nose. “Actually, that term doesn’t suit you very well, kiddo.”
Fei Bai felt somewhat defeated. He looked at Luo Yusen’s handsome face and suddenly came up with an idea. He deliberately coughed and said solemnly, “Shixiong, don’t you think you should thank me today? After all, I skipped class to come here.”
Seeing the child’s expression, Luo Yusen knew Feibai was up to something. “Hmm, I suppose I should thank you.”
“Just… just one sentence?” Feibai asked.
Luo Yusen raised an eyebrow lightly and said, “I thought Shidi had a somewhat altruistic quality of helping others without expecting anything in return. Otherwise, you wouldn’t volunteer at the orphanage.”
“I, normally, am quite generous.” Fei Bai tried to move his hand, which was held tightly by Luo Yusen, but he couldn’t break free, so he gave up. “But it’s different when it comes to Shixiong. I really want you to repay me something.”
Luo Yusen gently caressed Fei Bai’s palm with his fingertip. “For example?”
Fei Bai suddenly perked up, looking at him expectantly. “For example, you could kiss me.”
Luo Yusen’s expression seemed to contemplate the reasonableness of this proposal. After a moment, he pinched Fei Bai’s hand and brought it to his lips. He kissed along the bones of Fei Bai’s hand, through the gaps between his fingers, and finally lightly pecked Fei Bai’s fingertip.
Fei Bai’s entire hand felt numb, but he still felt that Luo Yusen was being stingy with his gratitude. “Senior, you’re avoiding the main issue.”
Luo Yusen let go of his hand, asking with a hint of amusement, “Not satisfied?”
Feibai quickly nodded. “Hmm, not satisfied.”
“If you’re not satisfied, then endure it,” Luo Yusen said, lifting Fei Bai’s chin with his palm, his thumb inadvertently brushing against Fei Bai’s Adam’s apple. “Or take matters into your own hands.”
…showing off your height, aren’t you?
Fei Bai, feeling offended, took a step back and escaped from Luo Yusen’s grasp, then ran off in a huff.
Meanwhile, Luo Yusen remained in place, watching the child’s departing figure with a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
Fei Bai spent some more time playing with Feifei, helping her catch up on the lessons she missed over the weekend due to participating in the mountain marathon.
Recently, thanks to the professional team Luo Yusen hired, Feifei’s condition had improved, and her training had become more challenging. They even prepared some simple math problems for her, such as those involving mixing juice and water multiple times and then asking whether there was more juice or water in the end.
“Xiao Ming is really unfortunate. He just wants to drink some juice, but someone keeps diluting it with water,” Fei Bai muttered under his breath, reminiscing about the absurd scenarios he encountered in elementary and middle school math problems. There was the neurotic pool manager who added and removed water at random, the farmer who insisted on counting the legs of chickens and rabbits together, and the construction supervisors who inexplicably demanded teamwork from workers A and B.
“Wow, Feifei, you’re amazing.” Fei Bai praised her, giving her a thumbs up. “Are you a math genius?”
Fei Bai had read before that children with similar situations as Feifei often had special talents in other areas. Seeing Feifei’s response to the math problems today, he felt he might have discovered her hidden talent.
Excitedly, Fei Bai opened his phone, copied a difficult math problem from a college entrance exam, and handed it to Feifei to try.
Feifei stared at the question without moving her pen for ten minutes. Finally, she pushed the paper back to Feibai and handed him the pen, indicating that she wanted him to teach her.
So Feibai stared at the question for another ten minutes without moving his pen, then crumpled up the paper and threw it away.
Well, that was probably the least harmful yet most insulting feeling ever.
