A subtle wave of excitement washed over Fei Bai as he realized this was an opportunity. When Luo Yusen added, “There’s a guest room on the second floor,” it reassured Fei Bai that he wouldn’t be imposing if he chose to stay.
“Okay, got it. Thanks, Shixiong,” Fei Bai replied, simultaneously deciding to seize the opportunity to stay over that night.
After dinner, he went to Feifei’s room to find her. The little girl had recently developed a habit of watching TV while eating. She was sitting under Aunt Zhang’s care, spooning food into her mouth while staring fixedly at the TV screen.
Fei Bai glanced at the TV, which was playing an animated version of “Journey to the West.”
“I thought she liked watching ‘Peppa Pig’,” he joked with Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang explained, “Fei Fei does enjoy Peppa Pig, but she’s already watched that series five or six times. She asked me for something new to watch, but it had to feature pigs, preferably in some strange and unusual form. So, I thought of the pig character in ‘Journey to the West’ and put this on for her.”
“Pig character?” Fei Bai paused for a moment before realizing, “Oh, you mean Zhu Bajie.
As soon as Fei Bai entered the room, Luo Feifei became excited. She quickly finished her meal and ran over to him, tugging at his clothes with her small hand, then pointing at the TV and babbling excitedly.
Fei Bai nodded when he understood what she was saying. “Fei Fei, of course, Fei Bai Gege has seen this. I had this cartoon when I was little, and I must have watched it dozens of times.”
Luo Feifei beamed happily and continued to ask him questions, shaking his arm eagerly.
Fei Bai understood what she was saying, but he couldn’t help but look a bit embarrassed.

“Qtja vlv Mflofl rjs?” Ceca Itjcu jrxfv meglberis.
Fei Bai hesitated before replying slowly, “She said that whenever Tang Sanzang recites the Tightening Curse, there’s a buzzing sound, and then it disappears. She couldn’t hear it clearly and wants me to repeat it for her.”

Luo Feifei, the little dumpling, pulled Fei Bai out of the door, bouncing along the way. Fei Bai helped the little girl into the car and then assisted Aunt Zhang in placing several boxes of gifts prepared for the specialist into the trunk.
The brain specialist, surnamed Song, lived in a resort town on the outskirts of the city. Because the town was located near two main arterial roads in the city, the driver reached their destination in just over an hour.
The resort town was divided into an east and west area, with the east being residential and the west being hotel accommodations. The driver had already come earlier in the day, as instructed by Luo Yusen, and easily found the specialist’s residence in the east area. After parking the car, he pointed out the specific location to Fei Bai and Aunt Zhang, then informed them that he would wait in the parking lot.
Aunt Zhang pressed the intercom button, briefly introduced herself and Fei Bai, and the door was promptly opened for them.
The three of them took the elevator up to the floor where Dr. Song resided. The door was already open, with three pairs of slippers placed neatly beside it.
After changing his shoes, Fei Bai waited for Aunt Zhang and Luo Feifei to enter before going in himself. After casually closing the door behind him, he placed the gifts he was carrying on the floor.
Dr. Song, who appeared to be in his mid-sixties, was seated on the sofa, sipping tea, and watching a documentary about marine animals. Upon hearing them enter, he turned his head with a friendly smile. “You’re here.”
His gaze swept over Fei Bai and Aunt Zhang before finally settling on Luo Feifei.
Fei Bai found Dr. Song to be a very comforting person, with no airs of superiority. Being assessed by him didn’t make Fei Bai feel offended in the slightest. Instead, it made him feel an irresistible urge to get closer to him.
Aunt Zhang had clearly been briefed by Luo Yusen and provided Dr. Song with a description of Luo Feifei’s situation, but without revealing her true identity. She respectfully handed over a folder containing a series of documents, including Luo Feifei’s brain MRI images, medical records, and intervention records.
Having spent a long time abroad, Dr. Song adhered to Western customs, refraining from prying into the privacy of the Luo family. Instead, he delved into the details of Luo Feifei’s condition and treatment while flipping through the stack of documents. Aunt Zhang sometimes struggled to provide answers, but Fei Bai was able to assist effectively.
After briefly outlining Luo Feifei’s behavioral analysis, Dr. Song looked at Fei Bai with interest. “Are you studying behavioral science? Which research institute are you from?”
Fei Bai shook his head. “I’m still an undergraduate at S University, majoring in Education.”
Dr. Song nodded. “S University, a prestigious institution.”
After a pause, he added, “You might consider switching to behavioral science or developmental psychology for your graduate studies. I believe you have a talent for it.”
Having finished flipping through the stack of documents in his hand and organizing them neatly on the table, Dr. Song picked up his teacup, took a sip, and remained silent for a moment.
Aunt Zhang cut in swiftly, “Dr. Song, regarding Feifei’s disability…”
Dr. Song furrowed his brow imperceptibly, setting down his teacup, and politely interjected, “Madam, from the perspective of the evolutionary history of biology, the concept of ‘disability’ does not exist. The little girl is not disabled. She simply struggles to adapt to the current social environment.”
As Dr. Song articulated this perspective, Fei Bai’s admiration for him deepened.
Aunt Zhang’s expression seemed somewhat embarrassed, but Dr. Song gestured to reassure her, “I don’t mean to criticize. It’s just that I sometimes find it difficult to accept how people are dictated by the value system of societal structures. In the case of this young girl, she may be perceived as having barriers now, but in reality, she’s just deeply immersed in her inner world. With proper education and training, she can very well integrate into society like anyone else.”
Upon hearing these words, both Fei Bai and Aunt Zhang’s eyes lit up with joy.
Dr. Song glanced at the documents on the table and continued, “The treatment plan seems scientifically sound, and the results appear promising. In this regard, the young tutor’s contribution cannot be overlooked. Based on the evidence, we can rule out any organic brain abnormalities in the young girl. Therefore, while the treatment may pose some challenges, it doesn’t fall into the most severe category. My suggestion is to continue with the current treatment plan and, if possible, pay special attention to the strengths demonstrated by the young girl.”
“Strengths?” Aunt Zhang looked puzzled. “What strengths could Feifei possibly have?”
Dr. Song turned to Fei Bai, suggesting, “Perhaps we should ask the young tutor if he has made any relevant observations.”
Initially taken aback, Fei Bai pondered Feifei’s strengths. What could they be? Exceptional combat skills?
Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed his mind. “I remember!”

I like the enlightened approach to disability!
I’m dead and my brain works differently but it took until my early 40’s to articulate the positive differences and there are far more than you might think.
thanks for the chapter!
