133: Chapter 10 Leaving Home_1 133: Chapter 10 Leaving Home_1 Consoling himself to let go of his worries, Yan Fei was leading Yan Chao by the hand, playing games as they strolled, instructing him on how delicious the watermelons in the big mall were, until he finally remembered nothing but his brother taking him to see the huge cows, and buying him watermelon.

Guessing that it’s almost the end of the school day, Yan Fei started to wander around the school with Yan Chao.

They eventually found a deserted spot; he got Yan Chao to calm down and, listening by the wall to ensure no one’s on the other side, he hugged him, told him to keep his mouth covered and not say a word.

Then, with practiced ease, he ran a few steps and vaulted over the wall with him.

Scaling a wall, no matter how experienced or skilled you are, you must always bear in mind to vary your location.

The students who always chose the same spot to plunder were fools indeed; they were practically asking their teachers to catch them!

Yan Fei once watched a group of students on the school field crouching and writing self-critical reviews, while he reveled in their misfortune and mentally insulted their stupidity.

He would never make such a mistake himself.

He put down Yan Chao, whose eyes were wide round and sparkling.

He kept covering his mouth and not saying a word, looking at Yan Fei with eyes full of surprise and excitement.

“Okay, stay still!

Wait for me to fetch some food.

If anyone comes, don’t make a sound.

Just play by yourself, don’t communicate with anyone!” As soon as Yan Fei finished speaking, the little guy started bobbing his head.

He didn’t utter a word, just nodded, because Yan Fei didn’t tell him to remove his hand that was covering his mouth.

He scanned his surroundings with rapidly moving eyes and started to walk a few steps to crouch in a corner, hiding behind a tree.

Then, he looked at Yan Fei as if to ask, “Is this alright?”

Yan Fei found it hard to contain his laughter seeing this, but held back and nodded, saying: “Yes, that’s it.

I’ll be right over.”

Glancing at the little one nodding his head, he vaulted over the wall and got into the Vegetable Garden Island.

He got a small pot of hot meat and a few kinds of pickles.

After he was prepared, he walked a few steps, changed locations and got up the wall stealthily.

Yan Chao was squatted still; only his little head was moving slightly, probably observing his surroundings.

Gently, he got down and slipped back into the Vegetable Garden Island, fetched the food he prepared, then whispered to the little boy, “Hey, Xiao Chao, I’m here!”

The little guy reeled around, his eyes brightened instantly.

He looked around, then locked onto the food that Yan Fei was holding and walked over while still covering his mouth.

“Okay, you can talk now!”

“Brother, what did you bring for me to eat?” Hearing Yan Fei’s command, he released his hand immediately and asked excitedly.

It looks like he was dying to speak.

“You’ll see soon.

Let’s wait for your Sister Xiaoyan first.”

“Okay!” Although curious, Yan Chao’s cheeks were flushed with excitement; he agreed enthusiastically.

It seemed the wall-climbing had made him exceptionally cooperative and excited.

Yan Chao was quite popular in school.

Kids who are cute and trouble-free are naturally likeable, especially among these female students who are commonly overflowing with affection, they find him irresistibly adorable.

Moreover, due to Yan Fei’s habit of winning over people with delicacies, the little guy enjoyed his noon in school, playing merrily and relishing the meal.

Even after lunch, the little guy was reluctant to leave, wanting to play with Xu Xiaoyan and her classmates a while longer.

It wasn’t until Yan Fei promised to take him home in the afternoon, to see if their parents had returned, and then take him shopping for clothes, that he finally agreed to leave the school, albeit a little reluctantly.

The little guy’s mood always changes quickly, as soon as he left the house, he started caring about his new clothes.

There’s not much to look in summer clothes, especially for children.

They are usually uniform: vest, shorts, sandals, and only a few color choices.

Not much to choose from.

The two of them were walking and talking when Yan Chao happily entered the house and couldn’t come out again.

He got dragged by mom into the house for a nap!

Not only that, mom also said that she wouldn’t go to work in the afternoon and stay home to look after him.

Thankfully, Yan Fei promised to take him out again after he woke up, otherwise this little guy would certainly cause a big fuss.

After loitering around home and chatting with his parents for a while, Yan Fei announced he had something to do and left.

He was going out to gather some information.

His return this time was also for this purpose, to see if his parents had heard about what happened in the morning.

It didn’t seem like they had gotten the news, so Yan Fei decided to go out and investigate more about it himself.

He didn’t know many people in the town, so he decided to go to Fifth Brother and Sister Hong’s beef restaurant.

He had been to that place so many times that he was well aware of it.

Some of the customers who came to drink were rather shady.

From Ji Yunyun’s perspective, their place had an underhanded vibe with plenty of dubious customers coming and going.

He brought two cans of Salted Vegetables to Fifth Brother’s place.

They had just finished their work and the employees seemed to have left after cleaning.

Fifth Sister-in-law was sitting in the shop with Fifth Brother sitting next to her, his arm around her shoulders, looking like a loving couple.

Seeing Yan Fei coming in, Fifth Sister-in-law shrugged off Fifth Brother’s arms.

Fifth Brother naturally withdrew his arm and stood up, “Xiao Fei is here, you guys have a day off, right!

Come on, I have some great news today, don’t leave tonight, stay and drink with me.”

“I got a day off, I’m finally free!

I didn’t finish the Salted Vegetables someone gave me, so I brought some for you.

What’s the good news?” Yan Fei put down the cans, not being shy, he pulled up a stool and sat down as he spoke.

“It’s nothing, don’t listen to him.

He just wants to drink and can always find dozens of excuses.” Fifth Sister-in-law chimed in.

“This Salted Vegetable looks tasty, I won’t say thank you.

Do come over more often now that you’re on vacation, tell me what you want to eat and I’ll have Fifth Brother cook it for you…”

“What’s wrong with that?” Fifth Brother cut her off before she finished.

“Your sister-in-law is pregnant, I’m gonna be a dad, isn’t that a big deal?”

“Oh?

That’s a good thing, why hide it?

You should take it easy from now on.

I’ll get Sister Hong some chicken soup later, so that she can quickly deliver a healthy baby boy.” Yan Fei said joyfully.

Mundane kids might find it unusual or fun, or feel embarrassed if they understand more.

However, ever since Yan Fei began running his cattle farm, Ma Yongming and others would stop treating him like a kid, so he wasn’t surprised at all.

“What baby boy?

It’s only been a month since we found out about the pregnancy, we don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl yet?” Sister Hong, a fiery woman, blushed at the mention of her child.

“Oh, by the way, it was the alcohol you brought last time that did the trick.

Your Fifth Brother previously said we should wait to have kids!”

“When did I ever say I didn’t want a baby?” Fifth Brother wasn’t happy.

“I wanted a baby so bad, why else would I drink half a bottle of alcohol in one go, keep going till midnight, you…”

“Are you trying to kill yourself?

How old is Yan Fei and you’re spitting such words in front of him?” Sister Hong reached over and twisted her husband.

“Ouch, stop it, stop it.

Why do you always take advantage of me when I’ve had a drink?

I’ve only drunk less than half a pint today, I’m not drunk yet!

Stop taking liberties with me!” cried Fifth Brother, grimacing in pain.
