Reborn as a Good Child

127. A Lively Day

YiHan nearly had his breath knocked out of him by Qin Feng's claps to YiHan's shoulder. Fang Yi walked over and smacked Qin Feng's back as hard as he could.

"Not so hard!" Fang Yi scolded. "Do you think he's as rough as you? You're a thug. Why would YiHan ever need you? To help out in a brawl?"

"Lil Fang," Qin Feng whined, "can't you leave me some dignity intact?"

Fang Yi side-eyed the man and kept silent.

YiHan eventually caught his breath. "Let's get in the car," he said, holding back a laugh.

Not long after the car departed from the gates of the Bai family home, YiHan received a call from Yan Pei. She chattered and begged over the phone for him to go play with her. She said that she even had a bodyguard with her, just for his safety.

All YiHan could answer in reply was to tell her about his plans for the day.

"Then let's go together!" Pei eagerly cried. "Let's go! I can help give you ideas too. I've got great tastes!

YiHan glanced at Fang Yi. Upon seeing the older man shrug to show he didn't mind the additional company, YiHan replied, "How about we meet up at the strip mall in Wen Fang?"

"Okay," Pei excitedly replied. "We'll head there right now! Quick, Zhang-ge! Get in the car!" It was obvious the last two lines were directed at someone else behind her. YiHan thought for a moment. She called the other person "Zhang-ge". That should be Yan Hui's significant other. What a surprise. What a lively day it'll be.

When the trio arrived at the strip mall, Yan Pei could be spotted from afar, enthusiastically jumping up and down and waving her hands. Beside her stood a tall man.

YiHan and the other two men walked towards them and the two parties introduced each other. As expected, that man was Yan Hui's legally married husband. His name was Zhang Su. The man was very tall and quite lanky. His skin was a pale white, as if it rarely ever sees the sun. He looked like a proper gentleman dressed in a white collar shirt and beige slacks. A pair of rimless spectacles perched on top of his straight nose, making him seem like a studious scholar. YiHan could sense an air of books around him. The man didn't say much but his manner of speaking was very elegant and refined.

The group of five made their way through the crowds and into the mall. They wandered from shop to shop. Pei was animatedly chattering non-stop. YiHan had picked out two vests made of goat wool, some winter scarves, gloves and hats, but none of those could be used as birthday presents. The group then turned their focus to the antique stores.

Everyone in the group were of the same age group. Soon, they were familiar with each other. Pei pulled YiHan back as the group headed to the next shop.

"YiHan, your two friends are a couple, right?" she whispered.

"No," he said. "They're friends. Don't talk nonsense or they'll feel awkward."

"Ooh," Pei drawled with an evil smirk. "Little YiHan, you're too pure. You must trust in my eyes. There's definitely something going on between them!"

YiHan looked up ahead at Fang Yi and Qin Feng only to watch Qin Feng attempt to put his arm around Fang Yi's shoulders while the other man would constantly push it off.

"You see that?" cackled Pei. "There's no way their relationship could be that simple. Even if they're not a couple now, they'd absolutely be one in the future."

"How do you know?" YiHan couldn't help but lower his voice and whisper back.

"Nothing can escape my eagle eyes!" said, giving a proud little laugh. "Look. I won't talk about Qin An. It's all too obvious what he thinks of Fang Yi. As for Yi, the man looks like he's rejecting on the surface but if he really didn't feel anything for the younger man, he can just pull away. Why is he still walking beside him? It's clearly a 'yes' wrapped in a 'no'!"
