Little Terrified Bun Chapter 71

The sky was already slightly dim when Wei Zhe exited the cafe.
He looked down at his watch.
It was 5:21pm.

Winters were like that – the sky would always rush to darkness with the speed of wind and slink off at a speedy pace before people could enjoy them fully.

The teenager hailed a taxi casually and rushed towards Xu family’s villa.
Hm, was his silly younger brother still waiting for him? He felt a bit depressed.
He wouldn’t mind if Wei Jing simply took drawing as a hobby, but if he considered it as a career, it would be too much work.

But there was no alternative.
The little Wei Jing was determined to do so.

The Xu villa still looked the same; nothing changed since he left.
As Wei Zhe entered the door, he saw his younger brother sitting on the sofa with the white flower design, and a rabbit shaped cookie in his hand, with Xu Jiahui sitting on his left and Li Pei sitting on his right.

The two children were whispering something to each other, whereas Li Pei was eating the cookies silently, occasionally moving the plate of cookies towards Wei Jing, making the short-limbed child’s life much easier.

Not knowing why, Wei Zhe felt slightly uncomfortable.

What was Li Pei’s intention in pleasing his younger brother?

“Big brother.” The child looked up.
His eyes met his Big brother’s unexpected eyes coincidentally, and his body cowered subconsciously.
He ran to Wei Zhe’s side eagerly.
His soft hand held onto the teenager’s thick palm.
“Big brother, you’re back.
Did you come to pick me up specifically? Come on, eat cookies.
Aunt Xu’s handmade cookies are delicious.” Wei Jing greeted with a slight appeasement.

Wei Zhe looked at the rabbit shaped cookie with lingering saliva that was handed over to his mouth.
“…”

Wei Jing: “…” Oh! My mistake, it was an instinct.

The child’s face revealed hopelessness and he cast a glance at his Big brother with a pitiful look.
“I….
I did it intentionally,” he added with a grief-stricken tone.

His habit of stuttering when he became nervous was still not corrected.
_(:з」∠)_

Just when Wei Jing was hesitating about whether he should pull back his hand, he suddenly felt a sense of warmth on his fingertip.
The child looked up, shocked.
Big…Big brother ate something that he bit?

After Wei Zhe finished eating, he even commented, “It tastes pretty good.”

Wei Jing: “…” _(:з」∠)_

“You two are so close.” Aunt Xu who stood beside Wei Zhe covered her mouth and started to laugh.
She was already thirty something, but because she took good care of herself, she looked only twenty-ish.
The laugh lines on the corner of her eyes added some sophisticated charm to her.

Wei Jing zoned out for a second; in the last lifetime, Aunt Xu’s hair turned white when she was fifty, and she appeared wan and aged like a sixty or seventy-ish year old grandma, her entire body radiating a sense of lifelessness.

His eyes wandered around and landed on Xu Jiahui subconsciously.

Why be a policeman! If you want to save lives and heal the wounded, then become a doctor! How good is that? A professional occupation where your safety is guaranteed (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Aware of his idol’s gaze, Xu Jiahui revealed a silly smile, provoking Wei Jing to pinch his face with cruel force.

“It’s getting late, you brothers should stay and have dinner with us,” Aunt Xu said enthusiastically.
She really liked Wei Jing and Wei Zhe.
One was clever and saved her son, while the other was mature and reliable, even taking care of his younger brother so well.

Ai! She sighed to herself.
It would’ve been better if Wei Jing was a girl, so that he could be together with her son in the future.
Childhood sweethearts, how nice would that be!

Don’t be fooled by Aunt Xu’s age.
Innocent and romantic love still lived within her!

“No, it’s fine.” Wei Zhe smiled and rejected reservedly, “We still have something else to do, so we should not trouble you today.
Next time!”

After what happened earlier, Aunt Xu already realized that the teenager was a person who had a mind of his own.
Thus, she could only shake her head with regret upon hearing his reply.
“You said next time, I’ll remember that!”

Wei Zhe chatted casually with Aunt Xu for a while, then exited the Xu residence with his silly younger brother.

Wei Jing held on to his big brother’s hand and asked curiously, “We have something to do later?”

“Of course we do.” Wei Zhe smiled.
The street lights shone on the top of his head, adding a layer of golden halo on the teenager’s back.
“Going to buy the things that you want to buy.”

Wei Jing’s heart jolted.
He blinked his eyes and started to play dumb.
“What do I want?”

“Little rascal.” The teenager reached out to the child’s soft nose and pinched it.
With a pampering tone, he continued, “When we were at the Xu residence just now, who was the one who stared at the decorations so intensely that he didn’t even bother to blink?” He bent down and met the child’s eyes.
“We talked about it before.
If you have something you want, you need to tell Big brother and not hide it.
Don’t you think you’re a little liar?”

Wei Jing felt like…crying.

Not because he was sad, but because he was elated.

It turned out that Big Brother had been looking at him the whole time? It turned out that his big brother knew everything he was thinking?

Wei Jing inhaled deeply.
He held onto the teenager's big and wide palm tightly and replied with courage, “I’m not smart.
I can’t tell what Big Brother likes, but if you have something that you want, you also need to tell me.
I… I will also try to satisfy Big Brother.”

“Ok.”

The heartwarming atmosphere only lasted for half an hour.
