Chapter 4.2

The small child followed closely behind the young man. One was intelligent and like a porcelain doll while the other was handsome and had a pressing aura. From afar, it was a beautiful painting.

The Wei Family’s residence had beautiful and decorative spiral staircases. Wei Jing had become Wei Zhe’s little tail. After a moment, he finally summoned the courage to ask, “Big brother, are you angry at me?”

“No.” Wei Zhe turned around to look at him, tucking his hand into his pockets. “Don’t follow me. Go back.”

Lies. He was clearly angry. Wei Jing thought in his heart.

But on the surface, he still acted miserable. “Um…big brother, I’ll be very good. I’ll do whatever you want me to do. Don’t chase me away. I don’t want to be alone.”

Wei Zhe hesitated for a moment before he was finally defeated. “You can follow me but you can’t cause any trouble.”

Wei Jing smiled right then and nodded.

In the spacious study, the young adult sat on the master seat as he read the book in his hand. From time to time, he made notes on the book. Wei Family’s study was very big and there were all sorts of books inside. Wei Jing looked around and chose a…graphic novel in the end, wanting to examine the composition.

After all, he already decided on his future career. He naturally needed to work hard now.

This was a short story about an alien who wanted to destroy Earth, but ended up transforming into a cat and was pampered by the master.

It was told from the cat’s perspective. It examined love, friendship, and family.

The graphic novel was warm and comedic. Especially when the little fat orange cat went from wanting to destroy the earth in the previous second to being bribed by the master with dried fish, rolling around and acting cute shamelessly.

Wei Jing couldn’t help but laugh as he read this. He flipped through the pages. Someone wrote a column of words in the colorful graphic novel. ‘Disappointing. You can’t even persist to achieve your goal.” The child blinked his eyes and then again. The words…? Why did it seem a little familiar?

He eagerly flipped through the pages, not even looking at the content of the graphic novel.

As expected, there were all sorts of childish words behind the pages, written in a childish and naive tone. He flipped to the last page of the graphic novel and at the bottom right corner of the page, there was a row of inconspicuous words. “The orange cat gets to live a comfortable and pleasing life. However, I can’t become like a cat. I suddenly want to raise a cat now.”

Different from the childish words in the beginning, this row of words was written maturely, belonging to the person he was most familiar with.

The child looked up to see the young man buried in his studies.

Big brother wants to raise a cat? But in his past life, he was already 26. He hadn’t seen a cat at all.

The pampered pet, Wei Xiao Jing, was extremely confused.

The child’s gaze was too nerve-racking and Wei Zhe couldn’t even ignore it. He suddenly looked up and asked, “Why do you keep on looking at me?”

Wei Jing was startled and he almost shrieked. “It’s n…nothing.”

“What are you looking at?” Wei Zhe’s eyes swept over the graphic novel that the child was holding. His brows twitched and he said “oh no” in his heart. He already shoved that book to the furthest corner, so how did Wei Jing still find it?

“Nothing.” Wei Jing abruptly placed the graphic novel behind his back even though he didn’t know why he did that. He didn’t do anything bad but he had the illusion that he was caught doing something bad. “It’s just an ordinary graphic novel.”

Wei Zhe was speechless.

The child didn’t know that every time he lied, his lies were easily seen through. He would look around and his voice became high-pitched. He played with his hands and emphasized on it being “ordinary.”

“What did you see?” Wei Zhe was in a good mood. Seeing that someone was more nervous than him, he relaxed. “Tell this big brother.”

“N…nothing.” Wei Jing exclaimed.

“Then…” The young man knocked his fingers against the table, as though coaxing him, “How did you feel after reading it?”

“I want to become a graphic novelist like him in the future.” Almost subconsciously, Wei Jing said this. The graphic novelist must be amazing if his big brother likes him!

He was asking about his feelings, not his dream. This silly child.

It was unclear when the rain stopped outside of the room. The pitter pattering never stopped. The light wasn’t on in the room and it was dim. Wei Zhe’s face was half hidden in the dark. Wei Jing didn’t understand him. After a moment, the young man chuckled. “That’s a great thought!”

Wei Jing’s face flushed from embarrassment.

Wei Zhe continued, “Since you have such a great thought, as your big brother, I should help you achieve the goal. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to buy the tools. You have to draw properly. Your big brother will check it.”

Wei Jing was speechless

He seemed to have dug a pit for himself.
