Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Bi Xiaoyuan’s Phone Call

"Brother!"

The energetic voice of Little Bun came from the other end of the phone. Bi Xia was surprised by the sudden call from Xia Shi and even more surprised to hear Bi Xiaoyuan’s voice, but it surprisingly put him in a good mood.

Bi Xia smiled, leaning his head slightly and looking out the window, his eyes twinkling with a smile. "Mm, brother’s here."

"Speak up."

"I..."

"What are you shy about? Just say it."

Listening to Bi Xiaoyuan’s conversation, Bi Xia recognized Xia Shi’s voice and couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Today was Tuesday; shouldn’t Bi Xiaoyuan be at school? Besides, he had driven Bi Xiaoyuan to school himself, so why was he back so early?

Then, Bi Xiaoyuan softly said, "Brother... I didn’t go to school today..."

Little liar.

Bi Xia chuckled lightly, suddenly remembering something, and his voice turned cold, "Why are you home so early? Did someone bully you again?"

Little Bun quickly shook his head. Seeing this, Xia Shi, who was watching Little Bun make the phone call, couldn’t help but laugh and raised his hand to tap Little Bun’s little forehead. "Shaking your head, but your brother can’t see that."

"Huh?" Bi Xiaoyuan widened his eyes in confusion.

"Oh!" Bi Xiaoyuan realized, shouting in frustration.

Little Bun quickly responded, loudly into the phone, "No, it’s not!"

After saying that, he felt his response was too intense and then muttered, "Tomorrow is the school’s sports day, so the teacher let us off early."

So that’s it...

Bi Xia gestured to Meng Chi who had approached him and then softly asked Little Bun, "Sports day is great! Our Little Bun will definitely be the best, are you scared?"

Seeing Bi Xia’s demeanor, the gentle look in his eyes was something Meng Chi had never seen before. He exchanged surprised glances with Xu Renfei, who had always been by Bi Xia’s side.

Little Bun...

Xu Renfei rubbed his chin. If he guessed right... it should be Little Jiu’er’s youngest sibling...

"I’m not scared at all! I’m first place every year!" Bi Xiaoyuan said proudly, lifting his little chin.

Bi Xia laughed, "Then why does your voice sound unhappy?"

"...But it’s only first place among the kids. I’ve never won first place in the family competition..."

Bi Xia paused abruptly, his eyes gradually darkening.

"..." There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Bi Xiaoyuan’s low voice came, "Brother, can you come to the sports day with me this year..."

"Every year, mom and dad would come with me for the sports day. Mom can’t come because of work, so I’m always by myself... This year, I want brother... can you come with me..." Swallowing, Bi Xiaoyuan finally said what he had always wanted to say under Xia Shi’s encouraging gaze.

Always by myself...

Bi Xia understood too well the weight of those words.

Only himself at parent-teacher meetings, only himself at sports day, always only himself at parent-child activities. Bi Xia, you know what that’s like, do you really want your beloved brother to go through the same thing?

"Brother..."

"Sure."

The soft voice from the phone reached Bi Xiaoyuan’s ears, and his eyes widened instantly. Holding the phone tightly, he stammered, "Brother, did you agree? Did you agree!"

With eyes full of joy, Bi Xia laughed, "Yes, I’ll go to Bi Xiaoyuan’s sports day and help my brother win the family competition."

"Mm!" Bi Xiaoyuan nodded emphatically, "As long as brother is there, I’ll be full of energy and win first place in every event!"

"Alright, I’ll be looking forward to your performance then."

"But..." Bi Xiaoyuan hesitated, "Don’t you need to go to school tomorrow, brother?"

"It’s okay," Bi Xia said, "I’ll ask the teacher for leave. My homeroom teacher is very nice. If he knows I’m going to help Bi Xiaoyuan win first place, he’ll definitely let me go. How about we go to school together tomorrow?"

"Okay! Okay!" Bi Xiaoyuan jumped up and down, "Brother, can I come to pick you up?"

"Today?"

"Yes... if it’s not convenient, I’ll wait for you at the store," Bi Xiaoyuan whispered.

Bi Xia laughed, "What’s inconvenient about it? I’d be more than happy for my brother to pick me up from school. I’ll wait for Little Bun at school then."

"Mm!" Bi Xiaoyuan felt like his cheeks were hurting from smiling too much, but he couldn’t stop. If not for Xia Shi reminding him that his brother was still in class, he would have wanted to keep talking forever. This was the first time he talked to his brother on the phone; it felt amazing!

"Bye, brother. I’ll pick you up after school!" Saying that, he quickly hung up, afraid of delaying Bi Xia’s class.

Gently shaking his head as he put away the phone, Bi Xia turned to Meng Chi, "What’s up?"

Meng Chi raised an eyebrow, "It’s rare to see you being so gentle, is it Little Bun?"

Remembering that Meng Chi had seen Bi Yuan before, he smiled and nodded, "Yes, he said he wants to come pick me up, he really is..."

Unable to suppress his smile, "So cute... my brother..."

Xu Renfei: ... Well, who would’ve thought Little Jiu’er is a brother-obsessed guardian!
