Chapter 1454: Chapter 702: Writing Novels, Experiencing Life_3
This is a pair of twins, about twelve or thirteen years old, and exactly at the age when mischief is their game. However, the younger brother who entered later is clearly much more timid than his older brother, and when asked by his elder brother, he doesn’t utter a word, just vigorously nods his head.
They are Chen Yingjun’s two younger brothers, who take their father Chen’s surname—one called Chen Yingsong, and the other Chen Yingfeng. These two little guys are considered a blessing to Chen’s elderly father and stepmother—already twelve or thirteen years old, they aren’t allowed to engage in slightly unsafe activities, including setting off fireworks.
Elsewhere, other naughty children of their age might be setting off fireworks, but... never mind—there aren’t any mischief-making deeds kids of that age in Yan Fei’s memory would be scared to do.
Yan Fei, being a guest who leads them to set off the dangerous Earth-Shaking Thunder, wouldn’t that be asking for discomfort!
The reason these two little guys came to play with Yan Fei and behaved so ’well-mannered’ in front of him is purely because on the first day Yan Fei arrived, he met Chen Yingjun’s family and later had a falling out with Chen Yingjun’s Second Brother, Han Yimin, giving him a warning shot.
The biological father of these two step-brothers of Chen Yingjun had married into the family, and initially both brothers took their mother’s surname, Han. The eldest, Han Yiqun, is a scholarly type who doesn’t deal with family business and works in the education system. Second Brother is Han Yimin, a few months older than Chen Yingjun, in his early twenties, idle and not earnest in duties... well, and also a bit of an idiot.
Saying he’s a bit of an idiot isn’t unjust—Yan Fei was here to congratulate Chen Yingjun, arriving earlier than other guests, and brought a gift weighing a tael of pure golden doll—Chen Yingjun’s family was quite polite to Yan Fei. Especially Chen Yingjun’s father, who thanked Yan Fei wholeheartedly, saying he was Chen Yingjun’s benefactor.
But then Han Yimin snidely muttered from the side: "He’s just a lucky country bumpkin!"
Isn’t that an indication of a problem in his head? Even if normal people find Yan Fei displeasing, he was a guest here to offer congratulations, you could just ignore him, but why the need to mock him openly?
Moreover, after the meal, when the two parents and Han Yiqun were out busying themselves, this guy still lingered at home. He seized the opportunity to scoff at Yan Fei sarcastically.
Originally, Yan Fei had just ’scored a big one’ and was in a good mood, all ruined by this guy.
When that guy muttered again about "the rural folks having too many annoying customs", Yan Fei casually threw a Jujube into his mouth, and then, when he spit out the Jujube and was about to speak again, Yan Fei grabbed a walnut and threw it in...
The third time, he didn’t throw anything edible but casually picked up an ashtray, and said, "If you open your mouth again, believe it or not, I’ll knock your teeth out!"
There were other people in the room at the time, including Chen Yingjun and two friends, as well as Chen Yingsong and Chen Yingfeng. Only Old Chen’s two friends feigned persuasion towards Yan Fei with no real intention to stop him, seemingly quite pleased with Yan Fei’s readiness to knock out that guy’s teeth.
Because just before Han Yimin talked about too many annoying customs, Yan Fei had been telling Chen Yingjun about marriage customs from their region, such as placing Jujubes and peanuts on the bed, symbolizing the wish for an early birth of precious children.
There are similar traditions everywhere symbolizing joyous occasions—they are minor things, and having them or not doesn’t really matter. It was Chen Yingjun who felt that since Yan Fei and Du Minghui were fellow provincials, he particularly pulled Yan Fei aside to ask about the local marriage customs.
But with Han Yimin’s continuous muttering, even the two kids couldn’t stand it.
Seeing himself the target of everyone’s anger, Han Yimin didn’t say much more, just shot Yan Fei a fierce glare before muttering something quietly as he left, small enough that Yan Fei decided to just ignore it—after all, even if this jerk had a brain fart, he wouldn’t retaliate against guests at a family celebration. Once the celebration was over, Yan Fei would leave, and wouldn’t have to put Chen Yingjun in a difficult position.
However, because of this incident, Chen Yingjun’s two younger brothers started idolizing Yan Fei as a hero, even pestering him to teach them hidden-weapon Kung Fu—Chen Yingjun’s new house was a big villa gifted by their cheap grandpa, and the living room alone was bigger than some people’s entire homes. When Yan Fei was throwing jujubes and walnuts, he was about five or six meters away from Han Yimin.
So these two little rascals kept clinging to Yan Fei. With Chen Yingjun busy running all over to attend to guests coming from all directions, Yan Fei had hoped to enjoy some peace and get some writing done, but the two kids kept coming to him, leaving him quite helpless.
Thinking it over, he figured he should also expand his horizons—don’t writers need to experience life?
Yes, playing with kids is also a way to experience life.
After playing with the two little rascals for a while, he performed his ’ultimate move’ by holding the Earth-Shaking Thunder, lighting it, and then throwing it fiercely into the sky where it exploded. Then, Chen Yingsong triumphantly pulled out a set of car keys from his pocket: "Brother Fei, to thank you for letting us set off fireworks, we also want to thank you. Let’s go horseback riding!"
"Whose car keys are these?" Yan Fei immediately became wary.
These two kids were usually not allowed to do anything by their parents, especially their mother, who might as well tie them up with a rope all day. Other than going to school, they were just made to stay at home studying piano and reading, never allowed to run around outside.
Now, taking advantage of Third Brother Chen Yingjun’s wedding, the two little rascals took a break from school to play at home, and were overly ecstatic, defying the rules set by their mother every day.
"Don’t worry, it’s Third Brother’s," Chen Yingsong answered nonchalantly. "We’ve already talked to him. Brother Fei, don’t worry, we absolutely won’t cause you any trouble. It’s okay if you drive, right?"
"That sounds good." Seeing how well the two kids were behaving, Yan Fei took the keys. "Alright, I’ll drive, you guys direct, and let’s go horseback riding."
As they drove along the path directed by the kids, when they had just sighted the horse farm in the distance, Yan Fei suddenly realized, "Little Song you little rascal, are you tricking me? Going horseback riding, your mom definitely doesn’t know, right?"
"Brother Fei, we’ve come this far, you don’t want to go back now, do you?" Chen Yingsong pleaded pitifully, with a mournful expression.
Seeing that even Chen Yingfeng couldn’t help but lower his head and chuckle, Yan Fei understood—these two little rascals acting all innocent, using setting off fireworks as a cover, just to go horseback riding!
Even more infuriating was that these two little rascals knew to use the car keys to divert his attention, making him forget that going horseback riding was certainly not allowed by their mother.
Getting tricked by kids—what an embarrassment!
