Fu Ting straightened her back and looked at the hospital's signboard in silence for a good while.
The girl was gentle and pure, like translucent petals soaked in water.
Fu Pei's jawline tightened immediately. Even though he had just met her, he had an instinct that this little sister's reaction seemed like she was...angry.
Why was she angry?
He raised his hand to massage his glabella, and he felt he had done nothing wrong. With raised eyebrows, the corners of his mouth curled up smugly. "You should get early treatment for mental illness, little girl. This is the best mental hospital in Hai City, and you'll get the best help for sure. This is the only thing I can help you with. We'll be even now."
He was doing her a kind favor. Had it been someone else, he would not bother so much.
It would be an insult to his intelligence if he continued talking to a brain-damaged fool!
On this day, he was a good person who did good deeds. He was so proud of himself that he could cry!
Fu Ting was silent for a few minutes before she lifted her doe-like eyes. "It doesn't matter if it's the future or the present, Dad," she murmured, "because you're always so self-opinionated!"
The little girl turned and ran away right after, and he could feel her anger just by looking at her back.
Still rooted to his spot, Fu Pei's tongue pushed against the inside of his cheek. Irritated, he thought Little Fool must have known that he was no fighting match for her, so she became rude to him.
He looked at his surroundings with his cold gaze.
This road was located in a remote area, and that fool's brain was not good. Would she get into trouble?
When Fu Pei realized he was worried about Little Fool's safety, he gritted his teeth in irritation.
Damn it!
He had to be going crazy! Was he taking her as his daughter just because she persistently called him 'daddy'?
He was the heartless Brother Fu! He would not care if she was dead or alive.
He figured that Little Fool must have had enough fun and that she went home since she could not continue to pretend anymore.
Fu Pei left this whole catastrophe behind in satisfaction. He took out an old phone manufactured by an imitation brand from his pocket as he planned to call his brothers on a night out.
...
Fu Pei was fooling around and only reached home at dawn.
He grew up in a rough condition and moved out as soon as he started high school. The place he lived in was in the most remote suburban area. It was a basement room with the worst living condition as it was the cheapest option.
As usual, he entered through the front door and passed by a mottled and decaying staircase.
Dark clouds overshadowed the moon and the surrounding was so dark that he could not see his fingers. However, there was a dim light in the basement where Fu Pei lived.
Thieves?
Fu Pei's eyes grew cold. His house was poor and had no valuables, the thief would only come in and leave in tears.
He strode forward and noted the door was already unlocked. He kicked the door open with his leg.
The house was dimly lit. There was a smell of tobacco and mold in the dilapidated basement.
In the messy environment, a little girl sat quietly by the bed with hands folded at her lap.
The girl's face was picturesque and amazingly beautiful, and her long feather-like hair rested on her shoulders. Her skin complexion was fair, and her lips were red.
She was like the snow and ice on a breathtaking mountain that seemed exquisite and delicate, which purified all the bad happenings in the world.
Fu Pei's cynical look twisted for a moment. "How the hell did you come in?"
Fu Ting shook the keys on her wrist, and they clanged in the air. "I came in with the keys."
Fu Pei's forehead burst with blue veins, and his eyes looked extremely oppressed under the dim light. "How'd you get the keys?" he asked through gritted teeth.
"I made them," Fu Ting answered honestly. "Your lock was quite simple, so I made them easily."
Fu Pei was staggered.
Damn it!
This girl was not an ordinary fool, she was an educated fool!
