The young girl was truly a little frightened by Chang Fei’s brute strength, standing obediently in place without making a single move, as docile as a little lamb.
Chang Fei steadied the pillar that almost toppled over, wiped his sweat, and finally withdrew his gaze, turning his head.
As soon as he turned, he saw the girl’s pitiful little eyes, looking as aggrieved as could be.
She was so meek, just like that little neighbor girl he tricked out of her candy when he was a child…
Eh?
Wait a minute…
Chang Fei circled around the girl, finally unable to hold back a grin as he probed, “Tian Wei?”
“What Tian Wei, call me Tian Dengqing!”
The girl immediately retorted without thinking.
As soon as she said it, her expression froze.
She looked at Chang Fei as if she’d seen a ghost, her mouth hanging open, unable to speak.
Chang Fei’s eyes narrowed halfway, watching the girl with a half-smile, tilting his head. “Weiwei, little sister?”
“Ugh… No way…” The moment she saw Chang Fei show that expression, the girl who claimed to be Tian Dengqing—but whose real name might just be Tian Wei—turned to flee.
But her braid was already caught.
Chang Fei, no longer pretending to run, hooked his arm around the girl’s neck, leaned in close to her ear, and breathed softly against her earlobe: “Weiwei, little sister, just what are you up to?”
His tone sounded gentle enough, but Tian Wei was already trembling all over, nearly screaming.
She recognized him!
And he had clearly recognized her!
No mistake!
Behind her was that little demon who’d shown up at the orphanage years ago!
She had to run!
If caught, she’d be made into a little brother again… er, no, little sister!
“Weiwei, why do you run away the moment you see me? Am I that scary? You’re hurting my feelings.” Chang Fei said pitifully by Tian Wei’s ear.
Facing this girl, he just couldn’t suppress his mischievous spirit.
Call him a bully or say he had a bad personality, but right now he was just too excited!
How long had it been since he’d seen Tian Wei?
He couldn’t help wanting to tease her.
But while he wanted to joke around with Tian Wei, she didn’t want to play with him at all.
The deep shadow in her heart made her want to get as far away from this boy as possible!
As for the reason… Don’t make her remember! It was just too embarrassing!
“Ahhhhh—! You, you let me go!” Maybe because it was just too humiliating, Tian Wei suddenly erupted with terrifying strength, and with an over-the-shoulder throw, slammed Chang Fei hard to the ground.
For a moment, Chang Fei felt the world spinning.
When he came to his senses, he’d been thrown to the floor by Tian Wei.
But he wasn’t angry or disappointed at all.
Instead, he looked at Tian Wei with amusement.
“I didn’t expect that after a few years apart, you’ve gotten stronger. Why do you have such a weird hairstyle? And why ruin your face like that? You’d look better without makeup.”
“I don’t need your opinion! I hate you—” Tian Wei practically screamed as she fled.
Chang Fei wanted to chase after her, but his arm was caught by Sebastian at his side.
Only then did Chang Fei snap out of the joy of meeting an old friend, breaking out in a cold sweat—he’d almost forgotten there was an angel butler right next to him!
“Master Fei, that’s the Miss Tian who’s been missing from the Tian family for ten years. Is it really okay for you to bully the young lady like that?” Sebastian reminded Chang Fei with a smiling squint.
This young master, he really didn’t know enough about what was going on.
Sebastian was afraid that if he wasn’t careful, the young master would end up giving Young Master Le Zheng Tingyu another enemy.
Chang Fei was a little embarrassed, but mostly surprised. “She’s the Miss Tian? No way? A few years ago, she was…”
He didn’t get to finish his sentence before Sebastian waved his hand and smiled.
“Master Fei, if you want to add a daughter-in-law with a powerful backing for the young master, I wouldn’t object. But if you’re about to say something that would offend the young miss, you’d best not continue.”
“Tsk…”
Cut off at the height of his excitement by the angel butler, Chang Fei was a little dissatisfied.
He clicked his tongue, but heard the other continue, “Besides, you’re the Yuelao God now. Please don’t do things unworthy of your status, all right?”
Chang Fei couldn’t help but shudder, looking at Sebastian with a warning in his eyes.
Sebastian shrugged.
“Master Fei, there’s no need to worry. We may not share the same faith, but at least you are a god. As a devout follower, I won’t do anything out of line. So please, be good and come back with me to prepare for what you’ll need when school starts soon.”
“Can I not go back with you? Can I live on my own, live the life I want?”
Chang Fei asked tentatively. He had a habit of running away from home whenever he was unhappy.
Sebastian smiled at Chang Fei. “The young master wouldn’t feel at ease with you out here alone…”
He didn’t finish before a phone rang. Sebastian answered, and Le Zheng Chu’s cold voice came through: “I didn’t find the guy pretending to be me, but I found the purchase info. Tell my little brother not to worry, I’ll definitely help him get his grades back.”
Without waiting for Sebastian to reply, he hung up.
Ever since becoming a god, Chang Fei’s hearing was sharp, catching every detail of Le Zheng Chu’s words along with Sebastian.
Sebastian was about to put away his phone when it rang again. This time, it was Le Zheng Chu once more.
Both Chang Fei and the angel butler were puzzled, but the voice on the other end asked, “Sebastian, what’s my little brother’s name?”
“So after all this time, you don’t even know my name!” Chang Fei finally shouted.
For this big brother who knew how to care for him yet didn’t even know his name, he really couldn’t be bothered.
Sebastian was a bit embarrassed too.
On the other end, Le Zheng Chu clearly heard Chang Fei’s complaint and was stunned for a moment.
“I forgot to ask Father before. He might be busy now, so I could only ask the butler.”
Sebastian rubbed his brow and grinned. “Chang Fei, the Second Young Master’s name is Chang Fei.”
“Shouldn’t it be Le Zheng Fei? Why is it Chang Fei?”
Driven by Le Zheng Chu’s serious nature, Sebastian explained patiently, but Chang Fei had already lost interest, scratching his head and speeding off in the direction Tian Wei had escaped.
By the time Sebastian came back to himself, Chang Fei had disappeared.
The angel butler, a little helpless, scratched his head, spread his white wings, and soared into the air.
As he flew up, the people below regained their mobility.
In the café, Ning Linyin and Kading Che were still a bit dazed, unsure what had just happened. In their memories, it seemed like a piece was missing, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t recall it.
Nearby, a few Hongniang were stamping their feet in frustration.
“Are you kidding me! I smell an angel’s scent! What did those bird people do this time!”
