“I’m worried about you…but it’s okay, you’ll definitely do well!”
Feng Fei smiled.Â
“You were the one who taught me hand in hand, step by step. How are you still afraid that I will fail the exam?”

Hai Xiu originally had a lot of things he wanted to remind Feng Fei about, but once the morning of the exam day came, he couldn’t think of anything to say. He calmed down and nodded. “You’ll be fine.”
Feng Fei flicked Hai Xiu’s forehead playfully, looked at his phone and said, “My older brother will be here soon. Let’s put our shoes on.”
Hai Xiu carried his school bag and walked to the entrance to change his shoes, when he suddenly whispered, “No matter what the results are…we’ll be able to do well in the future, so don’t stress…just do it as normal.”
Feng Fei comforted Hai Xiu more, smiling and saying, “Don’t worry.” s5cdgN
Feng Xuan had just arrived when the two walked out. He got out of the car and took off his sunglasses to look at the two of them.Â
“Have you brought everything you need? Do you need to check again?”
Hai Xiu looked down, and Feng Fei smiled and said, “We already checked it hundreds of times. Everything’s there, get in the car!”
Feng Xuan put on his sunglasses, got into the car, and reversed out of the parking lot. CTl5Zz
Feng Fei was worried about Hai Xiu being nervous, and kept talking to him all the way. In front of Feng Xuan, Hai Xiu couldn’t quite fully relax, which resulted in Feng Fei talking most all of the time. He would just nod and shake his head. Feng Xuan disliked Feng Fei being noisy, and said,Â
“Can’t you be quiet for a while? Think about your test material or something.”
“It’s already in my head.” Feng Fei frowned. “Can you not talk? Just shut up and be a driver. You’re affecting my mood.”
Feng Xuan glanced at Feng Fei in the rearview mirror and sneered. “Oh, so it turns out you still have emotions.” jkgGXH
“Top scorer? Ha! You’re only taking one more subject than everyone else. Can your score catch up with the real top scorer?”
Feng Fei sneered.Â
“Thank you for your confidence in me. I was talking about Hai Xiu.”
Hai Xiu desperately lowered his head, shoulders trembling with laughter. He was afraid that Feng Xuan would not send them to the exam if he felt too humiliated, so he tried his best to pretend to be deaf and not make any noise. xdQC3J
Feng Xuan coughed awkwardly, and changed the subject. “I’ve got real shit to do today, so I’ll admit my mistake for once and not bother arguing with children.”
Feng Fei nodded his head, thinking that this was an acceptable conclusion. He turned his head to look at Hai Xiu, and smiled. “Why are you still holding back?”
Hai Xiu tried his best to suppress the rising corner of his mouth, lifted his face and shook his head indifferently. Feng Fei tickled his waist and lightly scratched Hai Xiu’s eyes on purpose, making him unable to hold back his laughter. Feng Fei knew that Hai Xiu was embarrassed to laugh at his older brother right in front of him, so he scooted closer to Hai Xiu and started to whisper to him in a low voice.
Feng Xuan watched through the rearview mirror, the two people almost biting each other’s ears, and smiled while they couldn’t see him. fPpdcl
Feng Fei’s home wasn’t too far from the examination site and arrived not too long after.
The test center hadn’t opened yet, so Feng Xuan asked the two of them to wait in the car while he got out of the car to ask when they would open.
At the same time, a white car drove into the road where Feng Fei and Hai Xiu’s test site was located, found a parking space and stopped.
In the white car, Jiang Yuman took off her headset, picked up the phone to add a few words, then hung up the call. (TN – oh shittt) oPH 61
Jiang Yuman looked at the slightly crowded road, hesitated and didn’t get out of the car, fearing that Hai Xiu would feel embarrassed if he suddenly saw her.
There were many parents around who came to accompany their children to the exam. Jiang Yuman used to think it was silly, however, now that it was her turn, she just couldn’t sit still in the office. However, Jiang Yuman didn’t want to let Hai Xiu know, lest he be stressed or worried about himself once he saw her. If he started worrying about how she was doing outside or started losing confidence, then it would all be for naught.
Jiang Yuman looked at the time and planned to contact Hai Xiu after the exam. The best way to get in touch was to take him and Feng Fei to lunch, and take them home to rest afterwards. If they couldn’t get in touch…then she could only pretend to have never come at all.
Jiang Yuman rolled down the car window and looked at the students passing by. There were more candidates than she thought. Jiang Yuman began to worry again about whether Hai Xiu would feel stressed competing against so many people. Fortunately, Feng Fei was there to keep him calm. Jiang Yuman could still feel a little more at ease in her heart. ZG0JiK
Speaking of which, in the past six months, she felt that Hai Xiu’s illness has gotten better and better.
It seemed to be all thanks to Feng Fei.

Jiang Yuman’s cell phone rang again. She picked up the phone and answered the call. The road was blocked and there were constant noises. Jiang Yuman couldn’t hear the call clearly, so she had to roll up the car window. As the car window slowly rose, Jiang Yuman glanced out the window subconsciously, and was stunned for an instant.
“I’ll get back to you later.” Jiang Yuman hurriedly hung up the phone. 65Vydm
She left a gap in the car window and stared outside.
In a car on the other side of the road, the window was open. Hai Xiu was sitting by the window and was packing his school bag, while Feng Fei, who was sitting on the other side, handed him a bottle of water. Hai Xiu unscrewed it and handed it to Feng Fei to let him drink first. Feng Fei took a sip, and then handed it back to Hai Xiu, who took the mineral water that Feng Fei had drunk and continued drinking from the same bottle.
Jiang Yuman frowned slightly. For some reason, this atmosphere made her feel a little weird.
It’s not that Jiang Yuman had never seen the two getting along, but back then was…not the same as it was now. oE4mby
Without waiting for Jiang Yuman to sort out her thoughts, Feng Fei’s actions in the next second directly confirmed her conjecture.
Feng Fei turned his head and kissed the drops of water on Hai Xiu’s lips in a natural motion.
Jiang Yuman’s heart stopped beating for a second.
She continued to look at the car without blinking, almost suspecting that she had hallucinations. T1bBCm
Jiang Yuman watched Hai Xiu and Feng Fei laugh together; watched Feng Fei drag Hai Xiu to his side and kiss him with a smile; watched Hai Xiu’s slightly shy smile, and watched Hai Xiu sit obediently beside Feng Fei, letting him kiss and touch, his expression happy and cozy.
Jiang Yuman clenched her fists hard and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her mind.
She started the car and drove it to a more concealed place, saw the license plate number of the car and vaguely remembered…she seemed to have seen this car downstairs from her home the other day.
More than once. uHLyh8
On the other side of the car, Jiang Yuman saw a man leaning on the side of the car to smoke. The door of the driver’s side was open. From his point of view, Feng Fei and Hai Xiu’s movements were completely visible…which meant he already knew about this.
Jiang Yuman closed her eyes. A few minutes later, Feng Fei and Hai Xiu got out of the car and entered the examination site together.
The man leaning on the door of the car got into the car. He turned around. From this angle, she could see the front of his face clearly…it was three-points similar to Feng Fei’s. Jiang Yuman remembered that Hai Xiu said that Feng Fei had a brother.
Jiang Yuman sat paralyzed in the driver’s seat, and it took a while to recover. bhWy1r
Jiang Yuman slowly recalled, bit by bit, the things she’d seen over the past year, rubbing her brows in pain.
It turns out it was already obvious, but she just…didn’t even think of it.

Jiang Yuman grit her teeth as her cell phone rang again. She hung up the call and held her cell phone silently for a while.
Jiang Yuman recalled the scene she saw just now, and couldn’t manage to convince herself that it was because they had a good, brotherly relationship that they’d done such a thing. It was obviously…. 97JOTt
The image of Hai Xiu’s relaxed smile was still hovering in her mind, and Jiang Yuman dispelled any idea of ​​self-deception.
Hai Xiu was happy. (EN – awwwww… my eyes were hot and my nose felt sour for a bit…I’m glad Jiang Yuman realised that Hai Xiu was happy)
The time flew past, and unknowingly, the whole morning had already passed.
Jiang Yuman got out of the car before the exam ended, and waited in front of the exam room early on. X ni5Q
The exam time had already finished, but the students in the exam room weren’t allowed to leave yet since the exam papers needed to be checked after they were collected. Jiang Yuman felt a little anxious and checked the time frequently.
About a quarter of an hour later, the gate of the school that serves as the test center opened, and the students poured out. Jiang Yuman put aside her phone and waited for a while before seeing Feng Fei and Hai Xiu come out together.
Hai Xiu saw Jiang Yuman at a glance and laughed.Â
“Mom! Why are you here?” kB0apZ
Jiang Yuman smiled and waved. The two jogged over.Â
“I just got here. I wanted to see how you’re doing. Was it hot inside?”
Hai Xiu smiled and shook his head.
“I didn’t think so.” zR5VDf
Jiang Yuman didn’t ask about the exam, but looked at Feng Fei with an unnatural expression. She was afraid of affecting their mood after the exam, and tried her best to cover it up.Â
“That’s good…what do you want to eat? Auntie will take you there.” The last sentence was addressed to Feng Fei.
“I didn’t know you were coming, so my elder brother already reserved a table in a nearby restaurant to eat some food together.” Feng Fei said earnestly, “I’m afraid the food won’t suit your taste. Fortunately, it’s still early. Let’s order something else then. “
“Then…I won’t go.” Jiang Yuman worried that she could not control her emotions in front of Feng Fei and Feng Xuan, and smiled reluctantly. “I actually have a lot of things to do. I was just worried that you two wouldn’t eat well. Now that I know that someone is taking care of you two, I’ll have to go.” cCfRYS
Jiang Yuman gently rubbed Hai Xiu’s head and smiled. “Relax. Now that you’ve worked hard, you can play hard too. Mom will pick you up in the afternoon.”
“No need.” Feng Fei smiled, “You can wait for tomorrow and pick him up after the last test tomorrow afternoon. Before the test, it’s best if we still follow the plan we agreed with before, where Hai Xiu stays at my house.”

Looking at Feng Fei, Jiang Yuman felt extremely complicated. She paused and nodded with a smile.Â
“Okay then.” (EN – Can I just say, I love how Jiang Yuman is handling all of this) ZAOS7b
Feng Fei wanted to invite Jiang Yuman to have lunch, but she repeatedly declined. After saying a few more thoughtful words to Hai Xiu, she drove away first.
“Do you think….” Hai Xiu looked at Feng Fei and hesitated. “My mom seems to be…a little tired?”
Feng Fei narrowed his eyes and smiled after a moment.Â
“She’s probably just worried about you too much. Let’s go eat.” HdpFby
After working hard all morning, Hai Xiu was hungry. He nodded and followed Feng Fei to lunch.
