Chapter 32: Fei Han
Although the morning sun was bright, it lacked some of its heat, and the coolness of dawn still lingered on people’s skin.
A breeze had picked up from somewhere, blowing Wen Yuan’s hair into a mess, making her look even more crazed.
“Nuonuo, don’t you dare call him brother! Fei Han is not worthy!”
The slightly shrill voice pierced through Nuonuo’s eardrums, startling him so much that he let out a sob, his little chest heaving as he whimpered. “No, ya, I want brother, want brother!”
Nuonuo’s little body struggled towards Fei Han, his outstretched arms flailing in the air, as if in the next second he would break free from Wen Yuan’s grasp and grab the hem of Fei Han’s clothes.
Fei Han saw the grasping little hands, his furrowed brow still not relaxing. He had a thing for cleanliness and didn’t like being touched by others.
But the current situation clearly didn’t allow him to keep his distance. Seeing Nuonuo’s affectionate look towards Fei Han, Wen Yuan’s anger was like the thorns on a vine, fiercely piercing into her heart.
It should be known that in her previous life, although Fei Han and Fei Nuo were brothers, they were practically enemies, both wishing they could kill the other. And now, Fei Han had somehow managed to win over Nuonuo while he was still young!
He’s definitely up to no good!
At this thought, Wen Yuan instantly tightened her grip, wanting to hug Nuonuo and run away.
But Fei Han didn’t give her the chance. Even if he didn’t like this little brother, he couldn’t let Wen Yuan take Nuonuo away from under his nose.
With a long stride, Fei Han got off his motorcycle and stood in front of Wen Yuan.
Unlike Nuonuo’s large, black grape-like eyes, Fei Han’s eyes were long and narrow with single eyelids. When he looked up at people, they would reveal a hint of coldness and fierceness. His complexion was pale from a long-term lack of sun, but not completely pallid. His lips were a light color, and his whole person had the aura of a black jade soaked in ice water, strange and cold.
Moreover, Fei Han was wearing a white lab coat that was clearly from a laboratory. He had obviously rushed over and hadn’t even had time to change. But this didn’t stop him from exuding an intimidating aura.
He took a step forward, and Wen Yuan fearfully took a step back. It wasn’t until her foot hit a cobblestone that she swayed and stopped.
Although Fei Han was only seventeen now, not even an adult, Wen Yuan, seeing his gaze as if he were looking at a dead thing, was instantly overwhelmed by the shadow of her previous life.
She could never forget how, in her previous life, Fei Han had tied her to an experimental table, held up a test tube, and asked her with a cold expression if she wanted to be the mother of zombies.
At that time, the tip of Fei Han’s needle had already touched Wen Yuan’s skin. If it weren’t for Fei Nuo begging Fei Zhiyan, she might have really been turned into a zombie by Fei Han while still conscious!
That shadow of despair, worse than death, was enough to make a person break down. Wen Yuan’s hand went limp, and before Fei Han could make a move, she unconsciously let go of Nuonuo in her arms.
Nuonuo was crying softly. The moment Wen Yuan let go, he toddled over to Fei Han and hugged his brother’s leg. “Bwo… brother, hwug. Nuonuo scawed.”
Tugging at Fei Han’s clothes, Nuonuo wiped the tears from his little face, lifted his head, and held up his little hands, wanting Fei Han to hold him.
Nuonuo’s fair little face was covered in tear tracks. Perhaps from crying too hard, his cheeks were flushed red, and his soft black hair was plastered to his forehead, looking pitiful.
Fei Han looked at the child’s eager and well-behaved appearance, and at Nuonuo’s eyes, which were even clearer with tears, and as if possessed, he actually reached out and picked him up.
It was only when Nuonuo wrapped his little arms around his neck that Fei Han frowned, thinking to himself, Was I muddled just now?
But Nuonuo was already pressing his little face against Fei Han’s exposed neck, even rubbing against it pitifully like a little puppy, leaving no room for Fei Han to put him down.
The tears on Nuonuo’s little face were all wiped onto Fei Han’s skin, warm and hot, and even carrying Nuonuo’s unique scent, all left on Fei Han’s neck.
The too-soft feeling made Fei Han stiffen for a moment. He then clenched his fists, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
His mysophobia completely triggered, Fei Han’s face darkened. He didn’t even bother with Wen Yuan, who was on the verge of collapsing with fear and wanting to escape. He held Nuonuo’s back with one hand to make sure he wouldn’t fall, and with the other hand, he grabbed the handlebars of his motorcycle and sped home along the small path.
The wind howled past. Nuonuo’s soft black hair flew up, and when he opened his little mouth, he was met with a mouthful of wind. He had to squint his little eyes, hug his brother’s neck tightly, and watch as the flower bushes on the side of the road were once again run over, the scenery condensing into a colorful line that flashed past his eyes.
The experience of riding a motorcycle was definitely very new for Nuonuo. He couldn’t hear any other sounds besides the wind and the roar of the engine.
The fear Nuonuo had just experienced had not yet been comforted, but in this temporary wild ride with Fei Han, it was all released. All the fear seemed to disappear into the wind.
Unfortunately, they were not far from the villa, and in just over a minute, this experience ticket ended.
Nuonuo peeked out from his brother’s arms. His eyes, washed by tears, were bright and sparkling. He blinked a couple of times, saw the familiar house, and his little mouth opened into an “O” shape. “Brother… brother so gweat, ya! We fwoo over in a fwass!”
Feeling as if riding the motorcycle was like flying, Nuonuo’s little face was flushed with excitement, his eyes shining with a crystal-like light as he looked at his eldest brother with admiration.
At this moment, in Nuonuo’s heart, Fei Han, who had saved him by flying over on his motorcycle, was as tall as a mountain.
Fei Han was flashed by the child’s eyes. The purity, untainted by any filth, made him stunned for a moment. But then, thinking of the tears that had been wiped onto him, his face immediately turned cold again.
“Get down. Don’t grab my clothes.”
Fei Han parked the motorcycle in the yard. Seeing the anxious Auntie Wu coming over to greet them, he lifted Nuonuo by the back of his collar with one hand and tore the little dumpling off him.
Fei Han even had to use a little force. Otherwise, the little one was too clingy, as if he were glued on, almost as if he had grown onto him.
Auntie Wu took Nuonuo, her eyes filled with both anxiety and joy, almost to the point of tears. She held Nuonuo and repeatedly thanked Fei Han. “Thank you, Eldest Young Master. You really scared me just now. If anything had happened to Nuonuo, I really wouldn’t have been able to face Mr. Fei.”
Fei Han, indifferent to Auntie Wu’s thanks, still had a cold face. He flicked the dust off his white lab coat and strode upstairs.
Nuonuo had been frightened by Wen Yuan and was now in a state where he couldn’t be away from people. Seeing his eldest brother leave, he quickly kicked his little legs, wanting to go with him. “Brother gone, Nuonuo go too, ya!”
Auntie Wu was still afraid that the madwoman from before would leave a shadow on Nuonuo and was thinking of how to comfort him. But seeing Nuonuo eagerly reaching out his hands, his little eyes following Fei Han, she couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.
It’s strange. Could this be the bond between brothers? Nuonuo has only just met Fei Han, how could he like him so much?
Although Auntie Wu didn’t understand, she still followed Nuonuo’s wishes and carried him after him. After all, they were brothers. Having his brother there to comfort him would definitely be more effective than her, Auntie Wu thought.
It wasn’t until they reached the door of Fei Han’s room on the second floor that Auntie Wu felt it was inappropriate to go in and just put Nuonuo down.
The moment Nuonuo was down, he toddled with his short little legs, eager to go in and find his eldest brother.
Fei Han had been in a hurry to take a bath and hadn’t closed the door properly, leaving a small gap.
Nuonuo stood by the door, very well-behaved, and stood on his tiptoes to knock on his brother’s door, asking in a soft, thin voice, “Brother, Nuonuo come in, ya?”
Fei Han probably didn’t hear and didn’t respond.
Not getting a response, Nuonuo thought his brother had agreed. He stretched out his little arm, pressed the doorknob, and slowly pushed the bedroom door open.
Poking his little head in, Nuonuo looked at the small living room in front of him and then toddled in with his little feet.
Auntie Wu was still a little worried. Thinking of Fei Han’s icy cold face, her heart still felt a little scared. Fei Han’s coldness was different from Fei Zhiyan’s. Although Fei Zhiyan also looked distant and indifferent, at least there was a faint smile on his lips. Unlike Fei Han, whose face was as cold as the permafrost of the South Pole, making one’s heart shiver just by looking at him.
He really was just like his name, cold and emotionless.
Auntie Wu didn’t think such a person could take good care of Nuonuo, but since it was Fei Han who had brought Nuonuo back from that madwoman, it was only natural for him to be dependent on him.
With a little worry in her heart, Auntie Wu hesitated for a while before going to the kitchen to ask the chef to make a bowl of calming sweet soup for Nuonuo.
The layout of the bedrooms on the second floor was all the same. Walking in, there was a small living room with a set of coffee tables. Next to it was an open-style cabinet. In Nuonuo’s room, it was filled with his little toys, snacks, and baby bottles…
And in Fei Han’s room, the entire wall cabinet was filled with books. At a glance, they were all unfamiliar book titles.
Although Nuonuo couldn’t understand, he still felt it was very amazing. His little mouth opened in surprise. He walked to the very end, his eyes still shining.
Fei Han had just finished filling the bathtub with hot water. Hearing a noise, he walked out and saw a white dumpling standing foolishly in front of the bookshelf, his open mouth revealing the pink tip of his tongue.
That little appearance was so dazed that Fei Han’s brow couldn’t help but furrow slightly. “How did you get in?”
The moment Fei Han saw Nuonuo, he thought of how his clothes and neck had been wiped with his tears, and he instantly felt itchy all over.
Before Nuonuo could answer, he deftly took off his white lab coat and threw it directly on the floor. This coat will never be worn again, Fei Han thought, not sparing it another glance as he turned and went into the bathroom.
Nuonuo, who was about to lunge forward and hug his brother, was instead covered by the white lab coat.
His vision suddenly went dark. Nuonuo let out a confused “ya.” Realizing it was clothes blocking him, he stretched out his little arms to take them off. But the lab coat was already wider than normal clothes, and Fei Han’s height was basically fully grown. A tall man of 1.8 meters would have this coat reach his calves. One can imagine how big this coat would be for Nuonuo.
Struggling to take it off, Nuonuo was like a headless little fly, foolishly walking forward with the clothes on his head. But after just two steps, he bumped head-first into the bookshelf.
“Aiya!”
Nuonuo stumbled back a few steps, dragging the clothes, but in the end, he couldn’t steady himself and sat down on the floor with a plop.
