Vicious male counterpart isn’t competing anymore [Rebirth]

Chapter 126.1 Eldest Senior Brother

Editor: Jodi

On the spaceship heading for Z Star Planet, Yan Hao closed his eyes and leaned his head against the glass window, not paying attention to anyone. Before the spaceship had taken off, Sima Mingxuan, through his connections, had taken the initiative to contact Old Zhong and his mother, Mrs. Lu Si Ying had taken a half month leave on his behalf.

Old Zhong, though strict with his disciples, had always been lenient towards Yan Hao. Moreover, Yan Hao had always been disciplined, excelling in his studies even when he wasn’t in the Mech Research Institute. What’s more this time it was Yan Hao’s mother who had called personally to ask for a leave of absence, hence there was no reason for him to deny it. So even though Yan Hao didn’t want to go home, because he didn’t want his family matters to affect his Master, he didn’t resist or struggle any further.

He had figured it out; it was just a half month trip stay on Z Star Planet, so if he stayed in his room and researched the algorithms of the mimetic system, time would pass by quickly, then he would be able to buy a spaceship ticket back to Capital Star Planet. As for his parents, he didn’t plan to do anything. Although they had severed ties in the previous life, that was in the previous life. Many things hadn’t happened in this life yet, so even if he wanted to sever ties like he had done in the previous life, he couldn’t find a reason for it, so it was better to maintain this indifferent relationship, neither close nor distant. After all, as long as Yan Fei was around, they wouldn’t invest much attention in him.

As for Yan Fei, from the moment he had been reborn, he couldn’t hurt him anymore.

Sima Mingxuan had booked a first class cabin that was spacious and with excellent service, what’s more the spaceship provided various meals 24 hours a day for first class passengers that was buffet-style where the passengers could help themselves.

Yan Fei and his mother Mrs. Lu Si Ying went to get some food together and as soon as they sat down, Yan Fei pushed a plate in front of Sima Mingxuan. “Mingxuan, give this cake a try; it’s very delicious, and it’s the last one.”

“You have it yourself.” Smiling, Sima Mingxuan pushed the cake back in front of Yan Fei.

“Mom and I have already had some. I brought this specifically for you.” Yan Fei told him.

“Yes, we brought this specially for you so try it, it tastes really good.” Even though Lu Si Ying had had limited interaction with Sima Mingxuan, Yan Fei’s constant praise for him naturally made her love him by extension, and coupled with his impressive demeanor and manners during this first meeting, it only made her appreciation of him increase even more.

“And this mango, it’s especially sweet.” Yan Fei said as he pushed a plate of sliced mangoes over.

“Let’s all eat together.” Sima Mingxuan suggested.

“En. Mom, you eat too.” Nodding sweetly, Yan Fei used a fork to pick up a piece of fruit then placed it on Lu Si Ying’s plate before lowering his head to eat.

Just as Sima Mingxuan was about to eat the cake, he glanced around and suddenly noticed Yan Hao who was sitting across from them, eyes closed as if meditating. His brows furrowed slightly. Even though they were four, the food on the table had been divided clearly and cleanly into just three portions, and this teenager in front of him had seemingly been forgotten selectively by everyone.

Lifting his hand, he pushed the cake in front of Yan Hao.

Yan Hao had been feigning sleep, so the moment Sima Mingxuan moved, he opened his eyes.

“Awake? Have something to eat.” Sima Mingxuan smiled.

Lowering his eyelashes, Yan Hao looked at the cake, but didn’t touch it.

Seeing Sima Mingxuan giving the cake he had deliberately brought for him to Yan Hao, Yan Fei was a little dissatisfied in his heart, however he didn’t show it. Instead, he pushed a serving of food over: “Big brother, you’ve been asleep all the way, you must be hungry right? This is really tasty, so go ahead and eat it.”

“Why are you giving it to him? Can’t he get it himself?” Mrs. Lu Si Ying shot Yan Hao a sideways glare, saying impatiently, “Putting on airs all the way. What, now you even want someone to serve you?”

There was still no expression on Yan Hao’s face as he stood up and walked out from the other end of the seat. It wasn’t that he was hungry, but that he knew that if he didn’t leave now, Mrs. Lu Si Ying’s scolding wouldn’t stop easily.

“Xiao Fei, Mingxuan, take them back and eat yourselves.” The moment Yan Hao left, the anger on Mrs. Lu Si Ying’s face disappeared.

“Thank you mom.” Watching Yan Hao’s departing figure, Yan Fei felt a hidden sense of triumph and satisfaction.

Sima Mingxuan, looking at the affectionate interaction between the mother and son in front of him, then recalling Mrs. Lu Si Ying’s attitude towards Yan Hao just now couldn’t help but blurt out, “Are you and Yan Hao, mother and son?”

Freezing, Lu Si Ying’s brows furrowed as she looked at Sima Mingxuan.

“Oh, I was just thinking that compared to Yan Fei, Yan Hao doesn’t seem to resemble you much.” Realising that he had slipped up, Sima Mingxuan quickly tried to clarify.

“Yan Hao takes after his father more, he doesn’t really look like me.” Lu Si Ying explained.

“Xiao Fei takes after you, that’s why he looks so good.” Sima Mingxuan knew exactly how to sweet-talk, because with just this simple sentence, he put both the mother and son in front of him in a good mood.

The three of them chatted for a while longer, then Lu Si Ying got up to go to the restroom, however for some reason, Yan Hao still hadn’t returned with his food yet. Sima Mingxuan, sipping on his juice, asked casually, “Your mother and Yan Hao’s relationship doesn’t seem to be very good. Are you sure Yan Hao will agree to help me configure the mental energy stabilizing bath because of your mother’s words?”

Sima Mingxuan had specifically followed Yan Fei to Z Star Planet and had gone to great lengths to bring Yan Hao along as well all with the goal of having Yan Hao help him configure the mental energy stabilizing bath, because while there was no concrete evidence that proved that the person behind the configuring of Sheng Zhuo’s medicinal bath was Yan Hao, based on all the feedback and his own inexplicable strong gut feeling, Sima Mingxuan knew it was him.

“Don’t worry, as long as it’s something my mom says, my big brother won’t refuse. He’s been like that since childhood.” Yan Fei reassured him confidently, “Although my big brother pretends to be indifferent, deep down, what he craves the most is a compliment from my mom.”

“I remember that your big brother was the top scorer in the university entrance exams, right? Then he must have had good grades and probably received a lot of praise since he was a child, right?” Sima Mingxuan asked.

“Although my big brother has excellent academic performance, he has a bad temper and often loses his temper at home, so….. my mom doesn’t really like him that much.” Yan Fei explained tactfully.

Just then, Lu Si Ying returned from the restroom, and Sima Mingxuan kept quiet.
