Chapter 62

The minibus door was open, and the curly-haired man's long hair fluttered in the wind like instant noodles, performing a stunt as he clung to the door frame with one hand and stepped on the welcome step, his body hanging outside at an angle. He waved his arms and shouted hoarsely at Wang Ge and Wang Fei, "Come on! We're leaving soon! We're leaving soon! There are big seats! There are big seats!"

Seeing him, Wang Ge and his sister both chuckled. Of course, the curly-haired man wasn't a black car driver; Wang Ge had asked him to find a car for them to visit the graves. If there was no car, it would be very inconvenient for Wang Fei.

However, they didn't expect the curly-haired man to find a black car and even act like a serious driver trying to get passengers...

"Feifei, hold on tight," Wang Ge instructed, then started walking forward. At first, he walked slowly, then gradually sped up, transitioning to a jog, and finally a sprint. He did this to take care of Wang Fei on his back, so she wouldn't be too uncomfortable.

Wang Fei tightly hugged Wang Ge's neck, feeling the wind cutting her face like knives. She quickly pulled her neck back and hid her head on Wang Ge's back, where the wind couldn't reach her. Wang Fei smiled, feeling safe and secure.

The minibus glided by slowly, and the curly-haired man had already pulled back, leaving the double doors open.

As the minibus passed in front of Wang Ge, he suddenly exerted all his strength, stomping hard on the ground and leaping into the air.

"Ah..." Wang Fei felt as if she were riding on clouds, her heart leaping to her throat. She clung to Wang Ge as if she would die with him.

"Thud—"

Wang Ge landed precisely in the car, but the thud when his feet hit the ground made the minibus sink sharply.

"Damn..." The curly-haired man waited for Wang Ge to move his feet, then peered at the floor, wiping it with his sleeve. He then said with a pained expression, "This car is borrowed. How am I supposed to return it with these size 44 footprints?"

"Brother Curly, just wipe them off," Wang Fei poked her head out from behind Wang Ge.

"But they have to be wiped off..." The curly-haired man pointed at the footprints helplessly, "They're at least one centimeter deep, you know!"

Bai Mao and Xiao Bian were also in the car, with Bai Mao driving and Xiao Bian in the passenger seat. They were speechless at their leader's behavior; he was always reliable, but always showed a "naive and innocent" side in front of Wang Fei.

To the curly-haired man, Wang Fei was like a little sister from the neighborhood, whom he had watched grow up. Although he had taken a dark path, he didn't want the pure light in her eyes to fade.

Wang Fei looked closely and saw that it was indeed true. She had already guessed something about Wang Ge, but since he hadn't said anything, she hadn't asked.

However, Wang Ge didn't plan to keep it a secret anymore. He smiled and pinched her cheek, "Feifei, wait a moment, I'll tell you and our parents together."

Wang Fei nodded obediently. In front of her brother, she was always the most well-behaved sister.

Since they were going to the graves, the curly-haired man didn't joke around. As for the footprints, it was just him being playful; repairing them would cost at most a few hundred sun coins, which was nothing to him or the current Wang Ge.

The journey was silent, and the minibus sped to the public cemetery. This cemetery was for ordinary people, but even among ordinary people, there were rich and poor. The rich had a square meter of land with a tombstone, while the poor, just like in life, lived in densely packed urns like beehives.

Wang Ge carried Wang Fei to the urns of Wang Sheng and Tian Yuan, and the curly-haired man, as his childhood friend, followed. Bai Mao and Xiao Bian parked the minibus far away from the cemetery, considering the owner's feelings, as they were friends.

After burning paper money at the public altar, the curly-haired man lit three incense sticks and paid his respects to Wang Sheng and Tian Yuan.

He also mourned the deceased aunt and uncle in his heart. Growing up, the curly-haired man was often disliked by other parents when he visited their homes, with some even telling him not to come back.

But Wang Sheng and Tian Yuan always treated him kindly, often inviting him to stay for meals. It wasn't a great favor, but the curly-haired man was grateful to this day.

After a few bows, the curly-haired man placed the incense and patted Wang Ge's shoulder, "I'll go ahead, let you and your family talk."

The curly-haired man left, and Wang Ge gently set Wang Fei on the ground, where there was a mat for kneeling. Wang Fei sat there, unable to kneel due to her condition.

Wang Ge then lit the incense, giving three sticks to Wang Fei, and they both paid their respects to their parents.

"Father, Mother..." Wang Ge had paid respects to his parents before, but since their passing, he hadn't shed a single tear.

Even when paying respects, he never cried and had always told Wang Fei not to cry, so their parents wouldn't be worried in the afterlife.

But this time, as soon as he spoke, he couldn't hold back his tears.

It wasn't that he had become weak, but he hated himself for only finding out the true cause of his parents' death the day before. He also hated himself for knowing but not being able to immediately avenge them—feeling guilty as a son.

"Brother..." Wang Fei looked at Wang Ge in shock, not understanding why he was so emotionally out of control today. Usually, he wouldn't even let her cry, but now he was crying, and so sadly.

Wang Ge didn't want to tell Wang Fei the truth. She was still young and had mobility issues; telling her would only add to her worries and wouldn't help.

As the older brother and the only man in the family, Wang Ge resolutely chose to face it alone.

Wiping away his tears, Wang Ge hid his bitterness and smiled, "Feifei, I'm happy. When our parents were alive, they always hoped we would both get into college. Now, we've finally achieved their wish. If we tell them, they would be very happy!"

"Um..." Wang Fei, being very smart, could tell that Wang Ge was hiding something. But since her brother didn't want to tell her, she wouldn't ask. She would work hard to change her life, and when she had the power, she would erase all his sorrows.

"Father, Mother..." Wang Ge's tears flowed continuously, but he smiled, "I have good news. Feifei got into Starlight University! Aren't you happy? She didn't let you down! She's our family's greatest pride!"

Hearing Wang Ge's last words, Wang Fei's tears burst out.

She knew her brother had always cared for and protected her, and she had always depended on him in life. But she never imagined that she was his pride.

"Brother is also very capable, why don't you tell them?" Wang Fei smiled through her tears, "You were being mysterious on the way here. Hmph, Father, Mother, look how bad my brother is..."

"One at a time, little girl, you're even complaining to our parents..." Wang Ge lovingly hugged Wang Fei and said to their parents' black-and-white photos, "Father, Mother, I have something to tell you. I've broken through! I'm now a Level 7 life form, and I'm also going to college with my sister, at Starlight University!

"Even though I got in through connections, it still counts as fulfilling your wishes, right? Don't worry about your son anymore! Your son has grown up..."

In his heart, Wang Ge silently prayed to his parents:

"Father, Mother... please forgive me for being an unfilial son, only finding the clues to your unfortunate deaths the day before. I may be weak now, but one day, I will avenge you! Whoever harmed you, I will make them pay with their blood!"

What he didn't know was that Wang Fei was also silently praying to her parents:

"Father, Mother... after you left, Brother has always taken care of me. Although he always comes home with a smile and clean clothes, I know he works hard, as he changes his clothes before coming home.

"Brother is the most important person in my life, my only family. I feel at ease being taken care of by him because now he takes care of me, and in the future, I will take care of him for life, never letting him suffer again...

"By the way, Brother has been troubled lately. He doesn't tell me, but I can see it.

"I don't know what's troubling him, but I will protect Brother! He's my brother, and when I have the strength, I will never allow anyone to harm him!

"Now, Father, Mother, please bless Brother, hoping he will... be safe and well."

Wang Ge carried Wang Fei back to the car, and they all went out for a meal. Wang Ge treated them to an all-you-can-eat hot pot at Auntie Fat's. Wang Fei rarely ate with so many people, and everyone doted on her, so her mood improved.

After dinner, Wang Ge sent Wang Fei home and then went to Meteor Street Black City with the curly-haired man and the others.

"Is there a match tonight?" the curly-haired man asked Wang Ge, as Bai Mao and Xiao Bian wanted to smoke and offered him a cigarette.

The curly-haired man instinctively reached out to take it but suddenly remembered Wang Ge and quickly changed his action to a slap, knocking the cigarette out of Bai Mao's hand and glaring at him, "Smoking is a boxer's taboo. Do you want to kill the boss?"

Bai Mao and Xiao Bian both shrank back, not knowing what was wrong with the boss. Since the curly-haired man didn't smoke, they didn't dare to either, reluctantly putting away their cigarettes.

Wang Ge smiled slightly, remembering he had scolded the curly-haired man a few times before, and it seemed to have worked this time.

"Yes, what about you?" Wang Ge asked in return.

"Same," the curly-haired man said, then shook his head, "But I think I'll stop after today's match..."
