Chapter 120: The Conspiracy
At the end of the semester, Fei Luo heard his classmates say that this year’s winter would end soon.
Propping his chin on his hand, Fei Luo stared blankly at the little doll on his desk. His mind thought of the life that had been illuminated from darkness, and he suddenly didn’t want time to pass so quickly.
He still remembered that his little brother had come home when the spring sun was shining brightly.
Before that, Fei Luo was still a withdrawn child who would only confide in his little doll.
The lively and boisterous world was far away from him. Fei Luo could only be a puppet, always hiding in the dark and fiddling with his own doll.
But after Nuonuo arrived, Fei Luo’s world seemed to have transitioned from quiet to lively in an instant.
Every day after school, he would be pulled by Nuonuo’s little hand and run wildly on the lawn. The wind would blow Fei Luo’s curly bangs, revealing his increasingly bright eyes.
And so, after returning home that evening, for the first time, Fei Luo refused his little brother’s proposal to go out and play. He used his small desk lamp to illuminate his desk and began to make a gift for Nuonuo, using his own little doll as a model.
Fei Luo was very experienced in making dolls. He had often used a needle and thread to mend his broken dolls before and was confident that he could make this doll before spring came.
But while the ideal was plump, the reality was that he was holding a piece of cloth and a thread, completely at a loss.
After staring at a pile of materials for a long time, Fei Luo finally got down from his stool and went to find Auntie Wu with his things.
To make a gift for Nuonuo, for the first time, Fei Luo had opened his mouth to ask the outside world for help.
Hearing Fei Luo ask her for help, Auntie Wu was shocked, but at the same time, she had a feeling that it was expected.
After all, under Nuonuo’s influence, Fei Luo’s dark, heavy eyes, which had once scared Auntie Wu, were now also dyed with a bit of a light similar to Nuonuo’s.
Auntie Wu was a good hand at making dolls. In fact, if it weren’t for the lack of time, she would have even wanted to knit a small sweater for the doll.
After knowing that Fei Luo was making it as a gift for Nuonuo, she even considerately kept this matter a secret, guaranteeing that she would absolutely not say anything.
With Auntie Wu’s help, Fei Luo would secretly stuff the little doll with cotton and sew small clothes for it every night, so sneaky he was afraid Nuonuo would notice.
It was his first time giving someone a surprise, and Fei Luo’s skills were not yet proficient, but he had already tried his best to give his little brother the best gift.
And Nuonuo, holding the doll, had a cheerful smile on his face. His little hands tightly hugged the doll, which resembled him a little, and he swung his little feet, extremely happy.
“My doll, is it the same as brother’s?”
Nuonuo held the little doll and looked at it again and again, his eyes and brows filled with a happy smile. He tilted his little head up, his eyes as bright as the starlight at night.
Perhaps because the light was just shining on Fei Luo’s head, a small light also lit up in his eyes. He nodded at his little brother and said, “It’s the same, but it’s a little smaller than mine.”
After all, Nuonuo’s little doll was the little doll’s little brother, so his size was also small. When placed together, you could tell at a glance who was the doll’s little brother.
“Yay!”
Nuonuo cheered, stomped his feet in excitement, and spun around with the doll in his arms.
“In the future, let brother’s little doll and my little doll play together!”
“Right!” Fei Luo nodded along.
His little doll finally had his own little brother and would never be lonely again.
Nuonuo, who had received the gift, was extremely excited. After Fei Luo left, he was still jumping up and down on the bed with his bare feet.
If it weren’t for Fei Zhiyan coming to check if he was sleeping properly, Nuonuo would have simply used the small bed as a trampoline to play on.
Fei Zhiyan pushed the door open and saw Nuonuo, who was holding a little doll and jumping up and down. He knocked on the door twice with a headache, pulling the attention of the excited Nuonuo over.
“It’s time to sleep. You have to sign up for the competition tomorrow.”
Hearing his papa’s words, Nuonuo finally stopped his bouncing behavior. He held the little doll and held up his little hands for his papa to see. “Papa, brother gave it to me!”
Nuonuo’s tone was full of pride.
Fei Zhiyan’s lips curled up, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. He nodded and said, “I know. With the little doll accompanying you, can Nuonuo sleep bravely by himself?”
“I can!”
Nuonuo immediately lay down with the doll in his arms. He didn’t even have time to cover himself with the little blanket and just tightly closed his eyes.
“I’m asleep!”
Nuonuo said anxiously as soon as he lay down.
Fei Zhiyan nodded with a suppressed smile, flicked Nuonuo’s nose with his fingertip, tucked him in with the little blanket, and then quietly closed the door and left.
Perhaps the blanket had some magic. Nuonuo’s originally very excited brain suddenly became drowsy, and in a few seconds, he fell into a deep sleep.
The layers of clouds covered the sky very tightly. The tail end of winter was colder than the entire winter, as if it were making a final frenzy.
The cold wind started to blow again at some point. If you stretched out your hand outside for a couple of seconds, you would be directly frozen stiff.
You couldn’t even see the moon in the sky. In this pitch-black night, Lin Mian didn’t want to get up to go to the bathroom at all.
To go to the bathroom, you had to lift the covers, walk into the unheated, ice-cold bathroom, and then wash your hands with cold water. After this whole operation, you probably wouldn’t be sleepy anymore.
But forced by the urge to urinate, Lin Mian still irritably rubbed his head, mumbled, and lifted the covers. He took a deep breath and quickly rushed into the bathroom next door.
As Nuonuo’s piano teacher, the butler had specially assigned Lin Mian a room in the staff dormitory behind. It was a one-bedroom, one-living-room, and it was just right for him to live alone.
But no matter how small the house was, it was still cold on a winter night!
Lin Mian shivered as he unbuttoned his pants. Just as he had finished, before he could even pull up his pants, a white light flashed before his dazed eyes. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was being pressed against the wall by someone.
His face was pressed against the cold wall. Lin Mian was now completely awake from the cold. His shoulders couldn’t help but shrink, and he swallowed and asked timidly, “This big brother, I really have no money. I’m working here for free!”
Lin Mian had collapsed Fei Han’s laboratory and, as a piano teacher, was purely working for the other to pay back the money. He really hadn’t saved a single cent.
At the thought that he was about to be killed by a kidnapper for not having money, Lin Mian couldn’t help but let out a small sob.
“What are you crying for? It’s me!”
The person behind him lowered his voice, but the familiar “big brother” tone still made a light flash in Lin Mian’s mind. He quickly blinked his eyes and asked, “Brother Stone? Aren’t you dead?!”
At that time, Fei Zhiyan had used the consciousness-capturing device that Fei Han had researched. When he came back, he had seventeen more stones in his hand.
Lin Mian hadn’t counted carefully at the time and had only thought that all the transmigrators except him had been completely wiped out, turning into stones and forever staying in this world.
At that time, Lin Mian had been so scared he hadn’t slept well for several days. Every day in his dreams, it was the scene of him turning into a stone and being used to pave a wall.
But speaking of which, Lin Mian even foolishly said, “Brother Stone, your name is really unlucky. It feels like fate has already been decided.”
Stone: “…”
Being told this by Lin Mian, Stone, who had originally been confident, suddenly felt a chill run up the back of his neck.
Shaking his head, Stone threw this absurd thought out of his mind and let out a breath. “Lin Mian, now the only transmigrators left are you and me. I have a big one. Are you in or not?”
Hearing Stone’s words, Lin Mian almost cried. “No! I’m not the same me as before. I won’t be fooled by you again!”
If it weren’t for the fact that he had clung to the big thigh quickly at that time, he would probably be a stone on some road right now!
When it came to this unreliable transmigrator big brother, Lin Mian really didn’t dare to trust him again.
After all, nothing was more important than his little life!
Stone cursed under his breath and hammered Lin Mian’s shoulder. “Are you a coward?! Let me tell you, this time we don’t have to face that group of people from the Fei family!”
Lin Mian scratched his head, puzzled. “If we don’t face the villains, then we can’t possibly go against the protagonist, can we?”
Wouldn’t that just speed up the destruction of the world?
Stone was slightly choked by his words, thinking to himself that Lin Mian’s words always managed to hit the nail on the head.
“Are you going to take Fei Nuo to the competition tomorrow? By then, you can lure Gu Ze over alone. Don’t worry, when everything is over, you’ll know what’s going on! I definitely won’t harm you this time!”
Hearing Stone’s confident words, Lin Mian let out a light “tsk” in his heart and had no intention of believing him at all.
Seeing Lin Mian’s appearance, Stone couldn’t help but feel a little anxious, his voice even rising a degree. “He’s the protagonist. Think about our mission to save the world. How could I harm him?!”
Lin Mian pouted, feeling that there was some truth to it. They wouldn’t gain anything by dealing with Gu Ze.
Seeing the dark sky outside slowly turning white, Stone didn’t dare to stay long. After a few more kind words with Lin Mian, he quickly slipped out the window.
The cold air from the crack in the window made Lin Mian shiver. He looked down and thought to himself, No wonder I’m so cold. I haven’t even pulled up my pants!
After a few sneezes, Lin Mian walked into the bedroom with an extremely contradictory and complicated mood.
After the sky had completely brightened, the clouds had scattered a little, revealing half of the sun’s face, and the earth was also much brighter.
Nuonuo had put on his little clothes early in the morning, eaten a full meal in the dining room, and was standing at the living room door with his little feet, waiting for Uncle Lin Mian to come and pick him up for the competition.
The Fei family, because Nuonuo was participating in the competition today, had all gathered at the villa as if they had made an appointment. Even Fei Han, who was far away in another city, had taken a car back, not wanting to miss his little brother’s first stage performance.
