Early the next morning, Ye Fei woke up and hastily put on his clothes before rushing into the gym on the ground floor. Despite the scattered components by his bed reminding him that the events of last night were real, after being weak for over a decade, he still found it hard to believe.
Playing with the specially made large barbell as if it were nothing, a barbell even his little sister couldn't lift, Ye Fei realized that he wasn't dreaming last night. He truly possessed a strength greater than that of his mother and the others.
Setting down the barbell, Ye Fei sat down on a nearby chair, feeling somewhat lost. Now, like a poor man suddenly becoming rich, this sudden surge of power left him unsure of what to do next. Logically, with this kind of strength, he should venture out and make a career for himself. But as the heir of the two largest families in Wanghai, did he still need to strive?
Yet, he was somewhat unwilling to return to his previous stable life. Despite being frail since childhood, his ambitions were much greater than those of ordinary people. He always aimed to achieve great things, as evidenced by the substantial reputation he had built online under the pseudonym "Weak as a Breeze".
It seemed that there was a crisis in the family at the moment. This should have been the best time for him to act, but he had no idea who the enemy was. It seemed like he needed to find a moment to ask his mother and the others. At worst, he could demonstrate his current strength to them, believing they would find it useful.
Having sorted out all this, Ye Fei's mood improved. Glancing around the gym, he knew that none of these things were of any use to him, so he decided not to waste any more time here and walked towards the door.
As he was about to open the door, Ye Fei felt a soft body collide into his arms. Without looking, he knew it was Ye Yunqi. He smiled and hugged her, asking, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a rush early in the morning?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Yunqi pushed him away and huffed, saying, "Why are you up so early for no reason? What's the point of coming here? No matter how much you train, you're still useless!"
Ye Fei was taken aback. In recent days, Ye Yunqi had basically stopped calling him useless, so her anger now indicated that she was genuinely upset. However, Ye Fei couldn't figure out how he had offended her.
After scolding him, Ye Yunqi immediately regretted it. Seeing Ye Fei's bewildered expression, she felt even more guilty and slowly leaned into his embrace, apologizing softly, "I'm sorry, brother. I didn't mean it."
"Hehe, it's okay. Hearing you call me like that makes me feel warm." Ye Fei naturally wasn't angry with her over this, but he still didn't understand why she had this attitude towards him. So he asked, "Yunqi, can you tell me where I offended you?"
Ye Yunqi's face turned bright red in an instant. After the joy Ye Fei had brought her in the past two days, she had completely fallen in love with this feeling. However, Ye Fei had brushed off her hints last night, claiming he wasn't feeling well, which left her unsatisfied.
When she returned to her room, memories of the pleasure from the previous days flooded back, prompting her to indulge herself. But she couldn't recreate the feeling of when Ye Fei touched her, so she deliberately woke up early today, hoping to use that special method to wake Ye Fei up like yesterday morning, seeking comfort from each other.
To her surprise, when she reached his room, he was already gone. Frantically searching the house and even asking Zhang Ayi, she couldn't find him anywhere. Feeling frustrated, she decided to vent in the gym, where she unexpectedly found the person she had been looking for. The sense of grievance in her heart made her act impulsively towards Ye Fei.
However, Ye Yunqi felt embarrassed to reveal the reason for her anger. She made up a random excuse, saying, "You said you weren't feeling well last night, so I woke up early to check on you, but you came here instead, making it hard for me to find you. Can you blame me for being upset?"
Ye Fei chuckled and said, "I'm fine. I just came here early to exercise. But the equipment here isn't suitable for me. I'll just watch you from the side."
Thinking he meant the equipment was too heavy for him, Ye Yunqi pulled him into the room without much thought. She wanted to take him upstairs to do things they both enjoyed but hesitated due to her shyness as a girl and the recent misunderstanding.
After exercising for a while, Ye Yunqi wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at Ye Fei, only to find that his gaze wasn't on her but fixed on the ground, lost in thought.
Feeling a sense of disappointment and resentment, she wondered why he didn't pay attention to her despite her deliberately provocative actions. She couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Doesn't this fool know how to take the initiative? Where did that stubbornness from the first time go?"
Feeling down, Ye Yunqi lost the motivation to continue exercising. Coincidentally, at that moment, Zhang Ayi had almost finished preparing the meal, so she pulled the noticeably distracted Ye Fei back to the living room.
After dinner, Ye Yunqi instinctively wanted to go to the garage to get her electric bike, only to find Zhou Mingming waiting in the yard. It then dawned on her that since yesterday, she no longer needed to ride her bike with her frail brother.
Sitting in the car, Ye Yunqi couldn't help but blame her aunt for sending Zhou Mingming to accompany her for no reason. This arrangement meant she no longer had the opportunity to be alone with Ye Fei. She couldn't remember when her previous extreme dislike of riding with someone had turned into her fondest memory.
Sensing Ye Yunqi's thoughts, Ye Fei, who was sitting in the back with her, leaned close and whispered in her ear, "I really miss the times when you took me to school. In a few days, let's talk to Auntie and ask her to take Mingming back so you can continue to accompany me, okay?"
The warmth of Ye Fei's breath on Ye Yunqi's sensitive ear made her feel tingly and comfortable. But what made her even more comfortable was the fact that her brother was willing to be with her, filling her heart with sweetness. This connection wasn't like the twins' telepathy from before; instead, it resembled the unspoken understanding between lovers.
Gazing at Ye Fei affectionately, Ye Yunqi suddenly wished he would kiss her. Sensing her desire once again, Ye Fei glanced at Zhou Mingming in front, who was focused on driving. Feeling reassured, he leaned in, masking their figures behind the seat, and gently kissed her soft, sweet lips.
