Little Terrified Bun

In the spacious study, the warm light sprinkled down from the chandeliers.
Wei Jing sat on a chair and wanted to cry at the English homework in front of him.

He was thinking that math was too simple.
He couldn’t even pretend to act dumb.
After thinking about it, Wei Jing chose English without a doubt.
Up until he had to answer the questions that he suddenly realized something…His handwriting didn’t match!

When he was in second grade, his handwriting was illegible and unbearable to read.
Then, he started to practice his handwriting…The differences between the two handwritings were too tragic.
He didn’t even know what to say.

Wei Zhe raised his eyebrows when he saw that the child didn’t touch his pencil.
“You don’t know how to do it?”

“Ah?” Wei Jing smiled weakly and scratched his nose.
“N…no.”

The first question required him to look at the pinyin and write words.
He clutched the pencil and tried his best to mimic his previous handwriting.
Children didn’t have as much strength as adults.
Naturally, his words were crooked.
But at a glance, there wasn’t much difference between the handwritings.
Wei Jing sighed and focused on his homework.

Wei Zhe was reading a novel.
He sat by the child’s side and glanced at him from time to time.

The second grade’s English homework was pretty easy.
It was mostly reading pinyin, making phrases, and comprehending the text.

Wei Jing finished quickly.
Almost at the blink of an eye, he turned to the next page of the exercise workbook.

When Wei Zhe saw this, he couldn’t help but touch his chin and say, “Pretty good.
But why does it take you a long time usually then?”

The pencil on the exercise workbook paused.
The pencil couldn’t handle the pressure and the pencil lead broke.
Wei Jing blinked his long eyelashes and his pink lips parted, “Because I re-reviewed in school before.”

Whenever he got nervous, he stuttered.

He basically gave himself away.

Wei Zhe laughed lightly and wanted to tease him.
His fingers slid over the child’s fair and delicate face.
“I was just casually saying this.
Why are you nervous?”

“I, I, I’m not nervous.” Wei Jing subconsciously denied it.

“Then why are you stuttering?” Wei Zhe asked.

Wei Jing pursed his lips tightly and refused to speak.
He glanced at Wei Zhe with his moist and big doey eyes.
He looked at Wei Zhe with grievance and seemed to be saying: how could you bully me?

Wei Zhe stopped, seeing this.
“Fine, you can continue.”

Wei Jing became better this time.
He continued to write at his previous speed; he wrote slowly like a snail.
It was pure torture for him.

Up until he finished with the unit did he relax his stiffened body.
He also seemed free, saying obediently, “Big brother, I’m done.”

Wei Zhe grabbed the workbook and checked over his work.
He returned it when he noticed that there wasn’t anything wrong.
“Ok, go back quickly and rest.”

“Ok.” The child answered.
When he walked to the study door and was about to walk out, the young man added, “If you want to be with your big brother, just tell me.
You don’t need to beat around the bush.”

Wei Jing paused his action and turned around, looking unbelievably at the young man.

He had never seen such a shameless person.

Big brother’s grand image seemed to have collapsed a bit right now.

Wei Jing held a sullen face as he ran off, terrified.

Wei Zhe was in the study alone.
He touched his chin and wondered how he didn’t notice in the past.
This younger brother is fun to play with.
He should talk to him some more in the future.
After all, Wei Jing was no threat to him.
He could raise him as a pet.

When he returned to his bedroom, Wei Jing shook everything in his backpack out.
First, he looked to see where he had learned up to in his textbook.
Then, he completed the homework according to the workbook.

That way, when his big brother asked for him tomorrow, he could confidently tell him that he was done and there was no homework.

The child happily curled his lips up and wanted to give thumbs up to himself for his IQ.

Wei Mei had adjusted his state of mind during the night.
The next morning, he smiled and greeted Wei Jing.
He even enthusiastically poured a glass of milk for Wei Jing.
This made the latter suspicious and wondered if the milk was poisoned.

As for Wei Zhe, Wei Mei was even more enthusiastic.
He shamelessly went up to him and although he was scolded, he pretended to be stupid as though he didn’t understand the words.

Wei Jing couldn’t help but sigh.
As expected, each person was different.
In short, he couldn’t act like Wei Mei.

What a pity that the more Wei Mei acted like this, the more Wei Zhe was on guard.

It’s fine if he had a stupid younger brother.
But with a sophisticated, flexible, and blood-related younger brother like him… He was a strong enemy.
Therefore, Wei Zhe didn’t lower his guard despite Wei Mei’s age.

Wei Jing stood by the side, watching the show.
Yet, Wei Zhe just had to drag him down, acting like his gentle big brother.

A morning passed by and Wei Mei looked at him…differently again.

In simple words, he was jealous.

Wei Jing’s heart felt chilly when he found out he was being used.

Nevermind.
Who let Wei Zhe be his big brother? He’d obviously forgive him.

Different from the idle Wei Jing and Wei Mei, Wei Zhe started to become busy in the afternoon.
He was starting to get tutored by the tutor  hired at a high price.
At the age of thirteen, he was already fluent in English and French.

Wei Jing sighed and left Wei Mei behind, returning to his own room.

He was still trying to process being reborn, this absurd event.
From yesterday to today, in the short two days, he had seen his big brother, father and Wei Mei.
These three people had left very deep and significant impressions in his life.
Wei Jing couldn’t breath and he followed along his big brother’s footsteps, confused.

Wei Jing told himself: he couldn’t allow himself to continue like this.　

Since he got the chance to live again, he must live a good life.

If his big brother needed him in the future, he would do anything for him.
But…he couldn’t do the same thing as he did in his past life.
He couldn’t be a vine that relies on the tree, leeching off of him.

Do business? No! He knew nothing about it.

Be a celebrity? That’s a no either! Acting skills and whatnot? That was difficult for him.

Then…there’s only art left?

Wei Jing covered his face.
He was very interested in art in his past life and even attempted to learn it by himself for a while.
At that time, he loved to post all sorts of chibis on his Weibo, even garnering some fans.
Some publishing houses even looked for him but he rejected their offers.

Yet, in this life, he could finally start putting this to practice~

He didn’t hope to become a millionaire but he at least wanted to live a good life, and be able to support himself.
Plus, the housing prices were very cheap now.
He must take this chance to buy an apartment and then rent a room out.
That’ll be another source of income for him!

That’s great!

Wei Jing wasn’t ambitious.
He was just thinking about receiving the rent every day and then getting to spend time drawing his comics.
He could also travel from time to time.
In short, he would get to live according to his interest and hobbies.

He really didn’t know what he was thinking in the past.
Why did he want to steal his big brother’s company? Being a president wasn’t simple! Every day, he would have to wake up early to work and go back home late.
He also needed to go to evening parties to deal with old crafty foxes from time to time as well.
Just thinking about the scheming made him tired.

Wei Mei felt wronged, very wronged.

He already lowered his attitude.
But the two were still indifferent towards him.
He hated them.
That big brother was annoying and Wei Jing was even more annoying.
If it weren’t him, would the big brother treat him this way?

Wei Mei grew up under his mother’s pampering.
Therefore, whilst under a sudden rage, he called his mother over to pick him up, saying that he wanted to go home.

When Mother Wei heard this, she advised him to endure this and that she would come pick him up after Independence Day was over.

Wei Mei was unwilling, adding oil to the fire when telling his mother about what happened in the past two days.
In the end, he especially emphasized the fact that his big brother hated him a lot and would definitely not accept him.

His mother was stunned and her tone became more serious.
“…Are you saying the truth?”

Wei Mei affirmed it and added, “Mother, big brother has been ignoring me.
He isn’t even willing to talk to me.
Wei Jing is like a slug, always glued to big brother.
I don’t even get a chance to be near big brother.”

The woman stayed silent on the other side before saying, “I know.
Just endure this for a while longer.
Since he doesn’t bother with you, then you can do the same.
Just stay there.
Mother will pick you up in a few days.”

With his mother’s approval, even though Wei Mei was still a bit unhappy, he didn’t dare to defy her in the end.
He said ok.

Wei Mei’s mother was an illegitimate daughter of a small family in Shanghai.
Her family had people mingling in both the police and gang circle.
She had some abilities.
In order to claim connections with Wei Family, they sent Wei Mei’s mother over.
Because she was beautiful, she was one of the more pampered ones and had some status in the family.

Wei Mei just finished the call with his mother, then he immediately called his father.

The two chatted for a while before Wei Mei hung up, satisfied with the call.

One needed to be cruel in order to climb up the social ladder.
