A subtle, curious impulse suddenly bubbled up inside Shi Jin. He leaned in slightly toward Fei Yujing and asked to confirm, “You don’t want me to be too polite to you?”<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing didn’t actually like being this close to people, but when he noticed that Shi Jin’s mood seemed to subtly improve, he found himself wishing Shi Jin would draw even closer.<\/span><\/p>

“Yes, Xiao Jin, I am also your brother,” he replied softly.<\/span><\/p>

Right, you are my brother too.<\/span><\/p>

Afraid of becoming the only “polite friend,” anxiously unable to bridge the gap\u2014 only his brother could be so foolish and leave him so helplessly exasperated.<\/span><\/p>

No longer holding back his thoughts, Shi Jin suddenly reached out and cupped Fei Yujing’s face in his hands.<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing froze, then knitted his brows. He instinctively wanted to lean back but restrained himself, asking with a stiff body, “What is it?”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin stared intently at him and suddenly began squishing and rubbing his cheeks, asking while rubbing, “Are you angry?”<\/span><\/p>

“Wait… Xiao Jin, let go first.” Having never been “offended” like this before, Fei Yujing hurriedly raised his hands to pull Shi Jin’s hands away.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin nimbly dodged, placed his hands on Fei Yujing’s head, and vigorously ruffled his hair, asking again, “Are you angry?”<\/span><\/p>

When had the ever-calm and collected Lawyer Fei ever been in such disarray? He quickly raised his arms to block Shi Jin’s elbows and asked, “Xiao Jin, what is wrong with you? Don’t play pranks.”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin didn’t answer. Leveraging his agility, after ruffling his hair, he grabbed Fei Yujing’s ear and tugged it playfully, even itching to pinch his nose.<\/span><\/p>

“Xiao… Xiao Jin!” Fei Yujing’s voice raised slightly as he finally caught Shi Jin’s hands. He frowned at him\u2014 his hair was messy, his face slightly flushed from being squished, and a bit of sweat glistened on his forehead, likely from pulling on his injury during the struggle. All in all, he was a total mess.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin let his hands be held obediently, carefully observing his current appearance, and asked, “Are you angry now? Do you dislike me now?”<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing looked at him in total confusion and said, “Xiao Jin, what are you\u2014”<\/span><\/p>

Snap.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Shi Jin suddenly broke free from his grip, pulled out his phone, and took a photo of him.<\/span><\/p>

“I’m going to spread this photo so everyone in the world sees it,” Shi Jin declared with utter seriousness.<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing finally couldn’t help himself and asked with uncertainty, “Xiao Jin, what on earth are you doing? Do you… do you dislike me? Are you teasing me?”<\/span><\/p>

“I don’t dislike you,” Shi Jin said as he tucked his phone back into his pocket. “I’m just treating you with less politeness, even picking on you a bit. Do you hate it?”<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing paused, glanced at the phone, and murmured, “Less polite…”<\/span><\/p>

“You really aren’t a robot.” Shi Jin leaned in even closer, closely examining his face, then suddenly reached out, pinched his ear again, and pulled it outward.<\/span><\/p>

How miraculous\u2014 that ever-powerful, ultra-rational Fei Yujing actually had a day where he let someone squeeze and pull him around like dough without getting angry. Indeed, Shi Jin had been far too polite to him in the past; or rather, he had labeled and idolized Fei Yujing too much.<\/span><\/p>

This man was indeed rational, but he wasn’t nearly as cold-blooded as Shi Jin had imagined.<\/span><\/p>

“Politeness and distance mostly arise when you don’t understand someone well or harbor fear toward them. Me picking on you like this is to pull us closer and erase that sense of distance,” Shi Jin coaxed in all seriousness, his tone and expression entirely sincere. “Second Brother, you used to seem far too lofty and inaccessible in my mind. We need a little bit of this kind of closeness.”<\/span><\/p>

Was that so?<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing stopped trying to pull his hands away and attempted to digest his logic, asking, “Then doing this… does it make you happy?”<\/span><\/p>

“It does,” Shi Jin nodded.<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing fell silent, striving to suppress his awkwardness and try to enjoy this “closeness.”<\/span><\/p>

Seeing how dead serious Fei Yujing was being, Shi Jin couldn’t help laughing. Yet as he laughed, his nose tingled with emotion. Looking at the intimate distance between them, he released Fei Yujing’s ear and whispered, “That’s wonderful… you’re not a real robot. Many of the things I wanted are actually possible to get.” No, rather, he had already gotten a part of it.<\/span><\/p>

The Fei Yujing whom he had thought was high above was actually standing on equal ground with him all along.<\/span><\/p>

Although Fei Yujing couldn’t fully comprehend Shi Jin’s words, he could feel his emotions. Hearing Shi Jin’s soft murmur filled with relief and contentment, an indescribable ache swelled in his heart. Tentatively, he raised his hand to stroke Shi Jin’s hair and said, “I was never a robot to begin with… Although I don’t quite understand why, when you treated me without politeness just now, I wasn’t angry at all. Xiao Jin, I want to be close to you, too.”<\/span><\/p>

“…I know,” Shi Jin answered, lowering his head to let him stroke his hair. After savoring his clumsy yet caring comfort for a moment, he suddenly looked up and said to him, “Second Brother, if you’re afraid of me guarding against you, then come over and break down my defenses. I told you just now what I want.”<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing didn’t really know how to break down Shi Jin’s defenses\u2014 otherwise he wouldn’t have angered him before. Looking at how Shi Jin trusted and felt close to him now, and fearing he might say the wrong thing and ruin this rare, warm atmosphere, he carefully measured his words and replied conventionally, “You said you want me to care about you deeply. I will do it.”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin saw right through the confusion and caution hidden beneath his calm and steady exterior. Feeling a mix of helplessness and soft-heartedness at finally seeing through Fei Yujing’s true nature, he resignedly gave up on this abstract communication. He stood up, stepped back three paces from the hospital bed, and said to Fei Yujing, “Second Brother, let me give you a brotherly hug.”<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing: “…Ah?”<\/span><\/p>

“I want you to come over on your own,” Shi Jin requested.<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing looked at Shi Jin without moving. It wasn’t that he didn’t want a reconciliation hug, but rather… feeling the lingering sensation of his ear being squeezed, he felt a bit self-conscious.<\/span><\/p>

If he walked over now, would he be squished and kneaded again by Shi Jin? He couldn’t help feeling… it would be quite a mental challenge. Yet he couldn’t refrain from going; this was Shi Jin’s way of expressing closeness, and since Shi Jin was trying so hard to bridge the gap between them, failing to respond would be far too hurtful.<\/span><\/p>

“If you don’t come over, then I’ll just leave.” Shi Jin suddenly took a step backward toward the hospital room door.<\/span><\/p>

“Wait.” Fei Yujing stopped him instinctively. Throwing aside all his stray thoughts, he pulled back the covers, got out of bed, and took a step toward Shi Jin.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin stopped backing away and stood there watching him, his arms hanging at his sides without any sign of reaching out to welcome the hug.<\/span><\/p>

Looking at him like this, Fei Yujing suddenly recalled how proactive and affectionate Shi Jin was when hugging his other brothers. Frowning slightly, he cast aside all remaining hesitation, walked straight toward him, and opened his arms.<\/span><\/p>

Whatever, if he squishes me, so be it\u2014 I’ll get used to it eventually.<\/span><\/p>

The distance between them was short to begin with, and with Fei Yujing’s long legs, he reached Shi Jin in just two strides. Looking down at Shi Jin’s face, after a brief pause, he slowly leaned in and clumsily wrapped his arms around Shi Jin, gently hugging him.<\/span><\/p>

It was a hug with a slight sense of distance\u2014 only their shoulders and above were touching. One of them stood completely motionless and stiff, arms hanging down with no intention of responding.<\/span><\/p>

In Fei Yujing’s expectation, the hug Shi Jin actively asked for should have been intimate and filled with reconciliation. Yet as he held Shi Jin, he didn’t feel the distance narrowing. Inhaling Shi Jin’s scent and feeling his body heat, after a brief moment of excitement, his heart slowly sank.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin… didn’t hug him back. This was a one-sided embrace, completely different from the hugs Shi Jin gave the other brothers. In the end, he was still different from the others.<\/span><\/p>

Lowering his eyes, he hesitated and slowly released Shi Jin.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin suddenly spoke up, asking, “Second Brother, what are you thinking right now?”<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing paused, thinking he wanted to change the subject. He quickly collected his emotions and replied while straightening up, “Nothing. It’s late, you should\u2014”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin suddenly leaned in, actively hugging him and resting his head on his shoulder.<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing’s body stiffened, his eyes widening slightly.<\/span><\/p>

“Second Brother, if you felt down just now because I didn’t hug you back, or if you feel joyful because of my initiative now, then I am completely satisfied.”<\/span><\/p>

Warm breath brushed against his neck, and soft hair grazed his earlobe. Fei Yujing’s heart skipped a beat. After a brief stiffness, he instinctively raised his arms to hug Shi Jin back, saying, “I do… everything you mentioned, I felt it all.”<\/span><\/p>

Although he was always unable to keep up with Shi Jin’s train of thought or understand his mind, he had learned one thing now: when Shi Jin asked about his feelings, he should honestly share his thoughts. This younger brother of his loved listening to these things.<\/span><\/p>

This was the only thing he was currently certain could instantly draw the two of them closer.<\/span><\/p>

Both fell silent, embracing each other quietly.<\/span><\/p>

This was the first time Fei Yujing had held someone so intimately. Frowning slightly, he carefully analyzed his feelings, memorizing the touch of pressed chests and arms locked around each other, feeling a sense of fulfillment rise within him.<\/span><\/p>

So a reciprocal hug felt like this, a close embrace was like this\u2014it was indeed as comforting as he had imagined.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin felt the strength in his arms, curled his lips in a relaxed smile, patted his back, and said, “Second Brother, that’s it. I hope you keep this desire for me to respond to your hugs whenever we interact. In the past, our relationship was like that first hug\u2014 you held me without wanting a response. I didn’t find warmth in it, only feeling constrained, while you felt I wasn’t affectionate enough and was guarding against you. But if you demand my response, I might not be used to it at first, but in the end, it will surely lead to us holding each other like this. Second Brother, if emotions are to be built healthily, there must be give and take, and communication is essential. One-sided giving and self-centered assumptions are the worst approaches.”<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing vaguely grasped a bit of his meaning and turned his head to look at him.<\/span><\/p>

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t understand my thoughts or follow my words. You only need to remember this hug.” Shi Jin released him and gave a relaxed smile. “Try your best. Next time you feel the urge for me to respond to your embrace, don’t let reason swallow it up. Tell me, and I will respond to you. Second Brother, remember your feeling right now, and in this sense, need me fiercely.”<\/span><\/p>

Swish.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

As if the fog veiling his eyes had been torn away, Fei Yujing finally understood what Shi Jin truly wanted\u2014 just an interactive hug, something so simple. Yet even with something this simple, he had never given it to Shi Jin; or rather, the thought of seeking it from Shi Jin had never even crossed his mind.<\/span><\/p>

He would only stand in his safe territory, saying nothing, guarding his heart tightly, hoping Shi Jin would walk over on his own.<\/span><\/p>

“I’m sorry.” He finally realized what an arrogant and cruel thing he had done to Shi Jin. Looking at Shi Jin’s smiling face, he couldn’t help reaching out and pulling him into his arms again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

“Thank you.” Thank you for still being willing to patiently teach him all this even now.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When Rong Zhouzhong woke up, he was horrified to find that Shi Jin, who was supposed to be in the room next door, had vanished. He rushed to the hospital in panic, only to be even more horrified upon discovering that Shi Jin was actually sleeping in Fei Yujing’s hospital room.<\/span><\/p>

“What did you do to Xiao Jin?” Standing guard in front of the cot, he stared at Fei Yujing on the hospital bed with deep wariness and caution, like looking at a big bad wolf eyeing Little Red Riding Hood.<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong glared at him, then softened his movements to look at Shi Jin, who was sleeping on the cot with bedhead hair. His expression gradually turned peculiar, and he suddenly snuck out his phone.<\/span><\/p>

“Old Third,” Fei Yujing voiced a warning.<\/span><\/p>

“Go read your document, workaholic!” Rong Zhouzhong snapped back, bringing up his camera app, pointing it at Shi Jin’s face, finding the best light angle, and slowly pressing the shutter button.<\/span><\/p>

Click.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Shi Jin was startled awake by the photo snap and opened his eyes instantly.<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong froze, his hand slipped, and <\/span>smack<\/span><\/em>\u2014 the phone fell right onto Shi Jin’s face.<\/span><\/p>

“Ouch!” Shi Jin’s nose took a direct hit. Pain shooting through him, he immediately clutched his face and turned aside, looking pained.<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong was horrified and hurriedly leaned in, anxiously apologizing, “Sorry, sorry! Where did it hit? Don’t cover it, let me see! Are you bleeding? Let me check!”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin rubbed his nose while wincing, looked at Rong Zhouzhong, and grit his teeth, “Third Brother.”<\/span><\/p>

Seeing Shi Jin’s red nose, Rong Zhouzhong couldn’t suppress a slight smirk: “Xiao Jin, you… <\/span>cough<\/span><\/em>, are you alright?”<\/span><\/p>

“Do I look like I’m alright?” Shi Jin said in a menacing tone. He suddenly pounced, tackling him into a headlock and pulling at his face while grinding his teeth: “You laughed just now, didn’t you? I saw you laugh! How dare someone who messed up still laugh\u2014 prepare to die!”<\/span><\/p>

“No, I didn’t…” Rong Zhouzhong struggled, pushing Shi Jin’s face away while twisting his head to dodge: “Don’t hit the face, I still have filming to do! Xiao Jin, stay calm!”<\/span><\/p>

“I can’t stay calm!” Shi Jin pinned him onto the bed while reaching for his own phone. “You peeping tom, taking photos of me? Just you wait, I’m taking pictures of you too\u2014”<\/span><\/p>

Click, click, click.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

The rapid clicking of a camera sounded. The two wrestling on the bed both froze and turned toward the sound.<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing handed his phone to Shi Jin, saying, “Here, I took them for you.” With that, he stepped forward, peeled Rong Zhouzhong off Shi Jin, tossed him aside, then leaned down to hug Shi Jin, saying, “Good morning.”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin was stunned by the hug.<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong’s eyes bulged wide open as he stared at Fei Yujing hugging Shi Jin, his expression looking as if the apocalypse had arrived.<\/span><\/p>

“Umm… Good morning, Second Brother.” Shi Jin snapped back and returned Fei Yujing’s morning greeting, feeling strangely embarrassed\u2014Fei Yujing somehow felt a whole lot warmer. But he quickly brushed off the embarrassment, tried to act nonchalant as he pushed him back slightly, and asked, “How’s the wound on your chest? Is it still hurting?”<\/span><\/p>

“A little bit,” Fei Yujing answered, then reached out to lightly touch Shi Jin’s nose, asking, “Does it hurt?”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin shook his head, gave a small cough to calm himself down, and replied, “Not really, Third Brother’s phone is pretty light… Anyway, I’m going to freshen up. Let’s have breakfast together later.”<\/span><\/p>

“Mmh, go ahead.” Fei Yujing adjusted the collar of Shi Jin’s pajamas and watched him head to the bathroom.<\/span><\/p>

As Shi Jin entered the bathroom, he didn’t even cast a glance at Rong Zhouzhong as he passed by, as if he had completely forgotten his existence.<\/span><\/p>

Dumbfounded and incredulous, Rong Zhouzhong waited until the bathroom door closed, then whipped his head back toward Fei Yujing. He rushed over, slapped his hand against Fei Yujing’s forehead, and frowned, “Are you possessed? Taken over by a ghost? How on earth can that coffin-poker face of yours wear such a disgusting smile? Oh no, my goosebumps are all standing up. Who are you? You’re not Fei Yujing! Definitely not!”<\/span><\/p>

The slight curl of Fei Yujing’s lips flattened in a split second. He glanced at him indifferently, slapped his hand away, and said, “You’re an eyesore. Go back to filming.”<\/span><\/p>

Still the same familiar recipe!<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong instantly confirmed he wasn’t possessed. Withdrawing his hand, he sized him up from head to toe, glanced back at the bathroom door, crossed his arms, and asked, “What did you do to Xiao Jin? Why has the atmosphere changed so drastically?”<\/span><\/p>

“We had a friendly and in-depth conversation last night to understand each other’s thoughts,” Fei Yujing leaned back against the bed and picked up his document again. “Xiao Jin said he wants me to care deeply about him, so I decided to grant his wish.”<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong’s face distorted instantly. He lunged forward and grabbed him by the collar: “What did you say? Xiao Jin said he wants you to care deeply about him? Xiao Jin said it? He wanted it? Are you sure Xiao Jin told you that, and you’re not just day-dreaming?”<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing smiled and said, “I never daydream.”<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong felt like having a heart attack from his smile. Remembering how Shi Jin had just ignored him, he couldn’t help cursing, “Were you deliberately distracting Xiao Jin just now? You’re despicable!”<\/span><\/p>

“Thank you for giving me this despicable opportunity.” Fei Yujing raised a hand and patted his shoulder, infuriatingly sincere. “You must have said something to Xiao Jin yesterday; he suddenly took a huge step toward me on his own. I’m very happy\u2014 thank you for helping me.”<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong gasped sharply and reached out to choke him: “…I’m going to kill you!”<\/span><\/p>

“Thank you,” Fei Yujing continued thanking him.<\/span><\/p>

Rong Zhouzhong genuinely wanted to strangle him. His fingers twitched, but glancing back at the bathroom door, he grudgingly pulled his hands back. Frowning at Fei Yujing, he ruffled his hair in frustration, dragged over a chair, sat down, and said, “Second Brother, I hope you don’t take Xiao Jin’s initiative for granted. He let go of a lot and sacrificed a lot just to stand before us again. When he reconciled with me last year, for a second I almost thought he had gone crazy… Anyway, don’t ever abandon him again.”<\/span><\/p>

The smile faded from Fei Yujing’s face as he asked, “Even you think I would abandon Xiao Jin again?”<\/span><\/p>

“How else should I view it? You participate in everything, yet hover outside on your own, like an NPC playing a role-playing game with us.” Rong Zhouzhong muttered with a frown, giving him a few disgusted looks. He stood up, walked over to the cot, picked up his phone, and waved it lightly at him: “I only hope Xiao Jin can sleep peacefully and sweetly like he just did from now on, without dreaming\u2014 or even if he dreams, without the past versions of us in them.”<\/span><\/p>

Hearing this, Fei Yujing looked over at the bed Shi Jin had slept on. Recalling Shi Jin’s clearly restless sleep during the second half of the night, he lowered his eyes.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After breakfast, Rong Zhouzhong bade farewell\u2014 he had taken off from work for too long and needed to return to catch up on filming schedule.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin saw him off to the airport. Before getting out of the car, he carefully put on a mask and sunglasses.<\/span><\/p>

“What are you doing?” Rong Zhouzhong raised a hand to adjust the sunglasses on his nose bridge\u2014 the ones he had gifted him\u2014 and asked in confusion.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin hurriedly fixed his sunglasses and explained, “Second Brother’s accident was entirely because I dragged him down. Those bad guys are likely watching me right now, so we’d better be careful not to let anyone discover our connection, lest I drag you down too.”<\/span><\/p>

“I don’t care about that.” Hearing this, Rong Zhouzhong actually smiled, reached out, took the sunglasses off his face, and patted his head: “If those people dare to come, I’ll make sure every network news headline is plastered with their photos and details, exposing them to the entire world.”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin frowned and said, “Third Brother, I’m not joking. Those people are dangerous.”<\/span><\/p>

“I’m not joking either\u2014 I’m very dangerous too.” Rong Zhouzhong lifted his chin, suddenly putting on an arrogant air. “I possess far more than just acting skills and influence. The things I can leverage are way beyond what you imagine. Xiao Jin, we are family\u2014 rely on me a little more.”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin was stunned: “What?”<\/span><\/p>

“Your request for Second Brother is also my request for you.” Rong Zhouzhong pinched his cheek, switching to a serious tone: “I’m not just someone who can bicker with you and relieve your boredom; I also want to help you, and I can help you.”<\/span><\/p>

“Third Brother…”<\/span><\/p>

“Just stay sitting in the car.” Rong Zhouzhong slipped the sunglasses he had taken off Shi Jin’s face onto his own, opened the car door, stepped out with his long legs, turned back to hold the door, and said to him, “These are old anyway; I’ll buy you a brand new pair next time. Catch you later.” With that, he shut the door, turned around, and walked toward the airport terminal with long strides in an extraordinarily stylish and handsome posture.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
