Wei Chen and Xiao Bo enjoyed the whole day, they ate lunch, chatted, drank some bubble tea, chatted more, ate some snacks in the evening at the roadside, and walked chatting even more.
At last, when the sun was almost down leaving a red hue in the sky, Wei Chen dropped off Xiao Bo in front of his dorm who was still eating his ice cream with content.
Wei Chen smiled seeing his adorable little brother who was eating a little more than what he used to eat when he was living with them.
He ruffled Xiao Bo's hair, "Alright, Bobo. Go back and make sure to eat dinner, okay?"
Xiao Bo nodded his head cutely, "I will. You will take me out again like this next week, right, Dage?"
"Yes, of course, my little Bobo. I won't break my promise. So eat well and study hard and if there is anything you don't get call me or text me anytime, I will help you study, okay?"
"Um... I am not little, Dage!" Xiao Bo whined while pouting a little.
"Is that so... until you turn eighteen, you will be little to me. So, grow up quickly if you don't want me to call you that, okay my little Bobo?" Wei Chen teased.
>>>If we count my age in the original world when I was twenty years old plus my past life twenty-six years... and now sixteen... I am already a sixty-two-year-old grandpa...
>>>Dage, you have to knowtow before me...
"Humph! I will turn eighteen in just two years then you wait and see..." Xiao Bo showed his tongue mischievously.
Wei Chen grinned heartily seeing his little brother opening up his heart again, "Alright, I will wait and see you grow up patiently so no need to hurry."
He caressed the Younger's cheek affectionately.
Just then, "Ahem!" Mu Chen who arrived there cleared his throat to gain their attention.
Wei Chen retracted his hand and then bowed to Mu Chen who bowed back respectfully.
"...um... why are you here?" Xiao Bo's eyes became a little bright seeing Mu Chen.
He wasn't afraid of him like when he saw him for the first time after he came back to the past.
Not that his fear has fully vanished into thin air. Who in their sane mind wouldn't fear someone who ordered his people to skin him alive, mutilate him, and then kill him after three days of torture?
No one. It was just that the Mu Chen in front of him now didn't know anything about the past and he didn't love Xin Yi.
This Mu Chen helped him, worried for him, cared for him, and was getting engaged to him just to protect him from malicious people.
Moreover, Mu Chen told him last night that he wanted to become a better person on whom he could rely.
That was why, Xiao Bo felt that he shouldn't put all the blame of the past Mu Chen on this Mu Chen in front of him now cause he doesn't know anything at all and didn't harm him in any way.
"Xin Yi and Shen Yu asked me to help them with their assignment also I brought your medicines, you didn't take them this afternoon, right?" Mu Chen showed the plastic bag.
"Ah... yes. I... went out with Dage, so I forgot," Xiao Bo felt his cheeks heating up thinking that the elder still remembered to give him medicines.
"Medicines, what for?" Wei Chen furrowed his brows.
"..." Xiao Bo didn't want to worry his big brother.
Noticing his expression, Mu Chen, "For strength and to recover his appetite, just some vitamins. Xin Yi and Shen Yu also take them, it's good for health."
"Oh. Then don't forget to take them, Bobo. See, you are all skin and bones. I noticed that you are eating a little more than what you used to do, is it because of these vitamins?" Wei Chen queried.
Xiao Bo just nodded not wanting to speak cause he would end up telling the truth if he opened his mouth.
"That's good. I am relieved, thank you Young Master Wang for taking care of him," Wei Chen expressed his gratitude, bowing.
"It's what I should do," Mu Chen stated.
"Also, Young Master Wang, I wanted to speak to you about last night," Wei Chen spoke again.
He wanted to clarify things about what happened yesterday night as he heard from his father that the Wang family didn't approve of Xiao Bo.
"You don't have to worry, Young Master Song. My family will welcome Xiao Bo with open hearts. I will make sure of it," Mu Chen assured.
"If that's the case, then I won't bother you anymore. Please take care of Bobo as you have been doing, thank you."
Mu Chen just nodded.
Xiao Bo went to hug his big brother, "Take care, my little Bobo, I will come again next week. Be good, okay?" Wei Chen hugged him back.
"Yes, Dage," Xiao Bo broke the hug and gave his big brother a bright smile.
Wei Chen felt contented, he patted the Younger's head and left.
"Did you have fun with your Dage?" Mu Chen asked, naturally taking the Younger's small palm into his.
"Um," Xiao Bo nodded with his cheeks flushed.
This time strangely Mu Chen didn't feel that annoyance whenever he saw Wei Chen and Xiao Bo together.
The elder also thought it was weird but this time seeing them hugging he felt their sibling love.
Maybe because he became the guardian of Xiao Bo and he doesn't feel insecure anymore that anyone would snatch the Younger away from him.
Just when the two of them were about to enter the 'Novice Pavillion' building hand-in-hand-
"Little master Bo," Xiao Bo heard the familiar voice from the back.
He turned and seeing the old butler he smiled, "Grandpa Pei," Xiao Bo chirped.
Pei Chen smiled and then noticed Mu Chen beside him, "Young master Wang," he bowed respectfully.
Mu Chen just nodded acknowledging his bow.
"Why are you here? When did you come back? Is Grandma Pei back too?" Xiao Bo poured questions in excitement.
Cause the old Pei couple were the only ones who cared for him truly in his past life. Grandma Pei was the one who used to put ointment without his father's knowing and Grandpa Pei was the one who used to bring him little figurines of his favorite anime characters as gifts for him.
The butler just smiled, "I am happy to see you healthy, little master Bo. I too want to chat with you more but I am in a haste, did you know where Young Master Song is now? He came to visit you, right?"
"Dage, he just went back after dropping me here. He must be walking to the parking lot, you can meet him if you hurry there," Xiao Bo replied.
"Thank you, Little master Bo, I will come back to you later again," Pei Chen bowed to him and ran to the parking lot to find Wei Chen.
"Who is he?" Mu Chen asked seeing the old man's silhouette.
"He is our family's butler. When I was young he used to bring me lots of gifts but then something happened back in his village so both Grandpa and Grandma Pei went back... It's been five years since I saw them."
"Hm," Mu Chen felt like he saw that old man somewhere also the way he immediately recognized him was somewhat suspicious but he just ignored it for now as his focus was on the Younger.
The both of them went inside the dorm.
On the other hand, Wei Chen who came back to the parking lot was met by none other than a furious Li Feng Mian.
"Let go of me, what are you doing?" Wei Chen tried to free his hand which was grabbed by Feng Mian tightly but in vain.
"Shut up!" Feng Mian growled and shoved Wei Chen into the passenger's seat and drove off to somewhere.
The butler, Pei Chen who came running saw Wei Chen in the car passing by and noticed he was with Feng Mian.
He then looked at the papers in his hand...
>>>Maybe I should find Young Master another time to give these documents.
>>>But... will the young master be okay with him?
The old man became worried but couldn't do anything.
...
In the car,
"Stop the car right now, where the hell are you taking me to?" Wei Chen yelled getting frustrated.
But Feng Mian just clutched onto the steering wheel tightly controlling himself and looking straight at the road ahead.
"You... are you deaf? Stop the car. What's all this? Didn't my father return the money? There is no need for me to play along with you anymore, so look for someone else. I have so many other important things to do."
Wei Chen looked at Feng Mian seriously.
"Like abusing innocent kids, hitting them to rant out your anger?" Feng Mian retorted sharply.
"What? What the hell are you talking about?"
Wei Chen was confused, he didn't know what Feng Mian was referring to.
"Stop the damn car or I will report to the police right now," Wei Chen took out his phone calling the emergency number.
Feng Mian took his phone and threw it out of the window which was smashed into pieces.
"You!!" Wei Chen shouted but then his head was hit by the sudden break.
Feng Mian got out of the car and pulled Wei Chen out who looked a little scared seeing how desolate the road was.
If the other did something to him or if he was left alone there he would have no one to ask help for as his phone was broken.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you drag me all the way here? What do you want now? My father had transferred all the money back to you and you have torn the contract. There is no need for me to follow you everywhere, right?"
Wei Chen asked again trying not to show his fear evidently.
"Huh, tsk!" Li Feng Mian snorted trying to control his anger. "I never thought you were such a disgusting person. You and your father are complete trash!"
"What-"
Wei Chen was cut off by a strong slap across his face which made him stumble back and fall onto the ground hard, his palms were grazed.
"How can you both do such things? Are you even humans?"
Feng Mian was raging in anger.
Wei Chen's left cheek turned dark red and became swollen. Tears started flowing out of his eyes and he still had a baffled expression.
"What-" before Wei Chen could ask Feng Mian crouched down and grabbed the smaller's jaws tightly.
"It's so disgusting to see you act in front of me when in reality you are such a hypocrite as your father," Feng Mian tightened his grip.
Wei Chen's eyes teared up more as he winced in pain. Seeing him in tears Feng Mian felt something in his heart but then he remembered the video.
He gritted his teeth, took out his phone from his pocket, and showed the video of him hitting Xiao Bo with his father's belt.
"This..." Wei Chen was shocked to see the video.
>>>It was when father forced me to hit Bobo when he caught me giving him strawberry candies.
"Why do you have this-" Wei Chen was cut off again.
"You can still act all innocent now, huh?" Feng Mian left his jaw and slapped the smaller's other cheek harshly leaving his handprint on his smooth pale white skin.
"Can you feel the pain? I bet you still don't. How can a heartless monsters like you feel any pain? I will make sure you will go through everything that my little brother Xiao Bo went through all this time."
Wei Chen tried to get up when he heard that, "Y-Your... little brother?"
"That's right. My youngest brother whom we thought was born dead but your bastard father switched him at birth in the hospital and took him to that hell hole to abuse him in every way to take revenge on my father," Feng Mian voiced out.
Wei Chen's eyes widened at that, "Bobo... he... then..."
>>>He can have a good life away from my abusive greedy father, right?
At that thought, Wei Chen's lips curved upward but seeing that Feng Mian was enraged.
"You filthy weasel!" Feng Mian grabbed Wei Chen's hair tightly,
"How dare you smile, you psychopath! I see, you don't regret everything you did to him cause he is not even your brother, huh? I will fucking make you regret and beg, kneeling in front of Xiao Bo for everything you did!"
"Ahh..." Wei Chen flinched at his raucous voice.
