Chapter 406: You’ve Been Handsome Since You Were Young
Fang Zikai quickly ran out of the washroom and into the living room. He ran to Fang Zicheng, who was playing with Lego. He ran very quickly and did not see the Lego in front of his brother at all.
“Brother, brother! Have you heard that we have an uncle surnamed Wei…”
“Ouch!”
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Zikai hugged his feet and howled in pain.
Fang Zicheng slowly raised his head and glanced at his younger brother. He pursed his lips and said, “You messed up the tank I was about to put together.”
Fang Zikai was speechless.
He burst into tears and cried his heart out. He was so pitiful.
“Brother, is your tank more important or your brother more important!”
Fang Zicheng thought seriously for two seconds before saying, “Be good. The tank is broken.” After a pause, he continued. “The tank is more important.”
Fang Zikai could not help but complain to Auntie Jin, who was cooking. “Grandma Jin, Brother bullied me.”
Aunt Jin looked helpless.
How should she explain to Fang Zikai that his brother had a slight mood disorder?
It was only when Fang Zicheng gradually grew up that Fang Yusheng and the rest realized that there was something wrong with Fang Zicheng. He was not like other children. He seemed to have no desires for anything and did not fight for anything. One time, when Qiao Jiusheng was making jade carvings, her hand was pierced by a knife.
When the two little fellows saw this, Fang Zikai anxiously looked for a phone and wanted to call the hospital to save his mother. When Fang Zicheng saw this, his expression was very calm. He asked if his mother’s condition was serious, and Qiao Jiusheng said that it was not serious. Then, he became even calmer.
Fang Zikai was about to call an ambulance when Fang Zicheng snatched the phone away. He told his brother calmly and calmly, “Mom’s condition is not serious. Don’t call an ambulance.”
Fang Zikai did not stop and continued to make the call.
Fang Zicheng looked at him as if he was looking at a retard, but he did not stop him anymore.
This was only one of the things that happened. After that, countless big and small matters happened. Fang Zicheng’s reaction was always very cold, calm, and composed. He was completely unlike other children who shouted.
Later on, Qiao Jiusheng told Ji Qing about these things. Ji Qing carefully observed Fang Zicheng for a while before concluding that this child had a slight mood disorder.
Ji Qing felt that this situation was not very serious. As long as his parents and relatives counsel him and accompany him more in the future, he would be fine.
However, Fang Zikai, who was also a two-year-old child, did not understand this. He only knew that he was in so much pain, but his brother felt that Lego was more important than him.
He felt terrible.
Fang Zicheng silently walked behind him and said to him, “If your feet hurt, go sit on the sofa. It will only hurt more if you jump around.”
“Brother, you’re not human!”
Fang Zikai sat on the sofa angrily.
Fang Zicheng did not feel that anything was wrong.
He returned to his original spot and rebuilt the Lego tank that had been destroyed by Fang Zikai.
When Qiao Jiusheng came out after washing her hands, she saw her two sons playing their own games. The younger one was still very angry. She asked Auntie Jin about what had happened and quickly found out. She could not help but look at her eldest son. She immediately walked over and comforted her younger son.
“Xiao Kai, don’t be sad. Look, Brother actually cares about you. You broke his Lego, but he didn’t scold you. Instead, he tried to rebuild it again. Do you know what this means?”
“What?” Fang Zikai looked at his mother with tears in his eyes, successfully distracted by her.
Qiao Jiusheng said, “This means that Brother actually likes you very much. If he didn’t like you, he would have hit you long ago.”
Fang Zikai thought about it and actually felt that what his mother said made sense.
As a result, he stopped crying and even slid down from the sofa. He tiptoed and limped behind Fang Zicheng. He patted Fang Zicheng’s shoulder and watched as Fang Zicheng turned to look at him. He was so awkward that he could not speak.
Fang Zicheng saw his brother’s conflicted expression. His eyes were still indifferent, but he waited patiently for him to speak.
In the end, Fang Zikai still said softly, “Brother, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have broken your Lego.”
Fang Zicheng was clearly used to his brother’s carelessness and love for trouble. He nodded slightly and accepted his apology. Seeing Fang Zikai looking at him anxiously and his mother staring at him expectantly, he reluctantly gave his brother a ‘cute’ and kind smile before saying, “It’s okay.”
Fang Zikai was shocked by his brother’s fake smile.
Qiao Jiusheng also sat down beside Fang Zicheng. She picked up a Lego and asked her older son, “Iron Egg, can I play with you?”
Fang Zicheng did not feel that there was anything wrong with the nickname “Iron Egg.” Anyway, it was just a nickname.
He nodded. “Of course you can, Mom,” he said.
As Qiao Jiusheng played with the Lego with him, she said to him, “Your brother was careless. Did he give you trouble?”
Fang Zicheng thought about it and shook his head. “Not really.” After a pause, he said, “I’m used to it.”
Fang Zikai was even more depressed.
Qiao Jiusheng wanted to laugh, but looking at her two sons, one with a dejected face and the other with a wooden face, she was too embarrassed to laugh.
With her experience with her sister, Qiao Jiusheng tried her best to be impartial when educating her children. She did not dare to side with anyone.
When she heard Fang Zicheng’s words, she said to him, “If Brother does something wrong, tell Mom. Mom will correct his mistake. Of course, if you do something wrong, Mom will also educate you.”
“Yeah.”
Fang Zikai interrupted and asked, “Why haven’t I seen an uncle with the surname Wei before?”
Hearing Fang Zikai’s words, although Fang Zicheng’s expression was still cold, he secretly pricked up his ears.
Qiao Jiusheng found it funny and chuckled.
“Uncle came to visit you often when you were young. Do you still remember your 100-day photo? Uncle gave you a few sets of clothes that day. Uncle has been overseas for the past two years, so you haven’t seen him.”
“Oh.”
Fang Zicheng thought about it and probably had an impression of the hundred-day photo. After figuring out that there was indeed an uncle with the surname Wei, Fang Zicheng lowered his head and continued to play with his Lego. He seemed to be not very interested in many things.
Fang Zikai asked, “Is Uncle good-looking? If he’s not, I won’t like him. If he’s good-looking, I’ll like him.”
Qiao Jiusheng’s face immediately darkened as she lectured Fang Zikai sternly. “Xiao Kai, it’s not good to recognize a relative based on their looks.” Qiao Jiusheng was helpless against her youngest son. He was actually so good-looking at such a young age.
Fortunately, she and Fang Yusheng were very good-looking. Otherwise, Fang Zikai would have despised them.
It was a rare moment that Fang Zicheng agreed with his mother’s words. He said to Fang Zikai, “You can’t do that.”
How could Fang Zikai listen to them?
He only knew that he respected whoever looked good.
Knowing that his uncle was coming, Fang Zikai ran to the entrance early to sit down and welcome his uncle.
