Hu Lei looked at Murong Fai and felt a sense of nostalgia. The more she looked at his face, the more she remembered her father. Perhaps it was an illusion in her mind. However, she could not help thinking that her life was finally turning around. Even though she had lost her father, she might be able to gain a brother.

So far, she was found him to be satisfactory. He seemed smart, flexible and kind. Moreover, he was not without a temper. She had provoked him in good humour after approaching him because she had wanted to what kind of person he really was.

Her only concern was his enthusiasm in relation to medicine. It was not that she had anything against doctors. However, if she and Murong Fai formed a sibling bond, she did not want him to go the same route as her father.

It would be a shame if this adorable boy became drawn into that dark web. For a moment, her mind saw her father bleeding out on the floor. And then, that familiar person turned into the cute teenager before her, both dying and lost in a sea of darkness.

No, she could not allow this boy to become like Hu Ming.

If she had not been so ambivalent about the actions of her father, he might not have had such a sad ending. She should have stopped him when he had started thinking that human experimentation was alright. She should have tried to give him a reality check every time he offended people, and they came seeking for retribution.

Instead, she had been complacent. In fact, she had enabled him. At the beginning, she had trained so that she could be able to protect herself and her father. However, she had become his accomplice in his questionable and illicit quests.

It was partly her fault that Hu Ming had met such an undignified ending. For him and herself, for their redemption, she would ensure that Murong Fai would not become twisted and without moral limits like she had.

Her eyes drifted back to the medical documentary on TV which was seemed to be coming to an end.

"Why do you want to be a doctor?" she asked, turning her eyes to the still mad boy.

His face became brighter like a young child. Murong Fai did not look like he was fifteen. He would pass as a twelve-year old boy or younger, especially with that happy face.

"I want to treat children. When I was small, I suffered so much. I have never even gone to a park or camping or anywhere fun. If there are children who have the same bad fate, I want to help them experience fun things." He explained like a little model student giving a speech.

"Mmmh… that is very noble of you. But you know that the world is complicated, right?" She asked lightly.

"What is complicated? Things will be simple if you want them to be." He responded, with a tilted head.

For some reason, Hu Lei felt gratified about this boy. His life couldn't have been simple, yet he could think of something like this. Unfortunately, pure people like him were the easiest to dye black. However, for now, he was perfect.

She felt like she had achieved her purposes for the first meeting. In addition, she was tired and Ah Feng was waiting outside for her. She would need to think about Murong Fai a little more before deciding on her next step. It would probably not be easy. After all, if she wanted to get to know this little brother, she would cross paths with her forgotten mother.

She could not act rashly.

"Then, I will root for you, little young man." She finally said with the maturity of an elder sister.

"I don't want to be called little by someone like you." He immediately got inflamed. "My name is Fai."

Hu Lei smiled at the boy in satisfaction.

"You can call me Big Sister Lei." She declared.

No one had ever called her big in her life. So, she thought that she should kill two birds with one stone. Earn this title and bring her and her new brother closer. She felt that it was only right. Though she did not currently have any rights as an elder sister, she would earn them slowly.

"Little big sister Lei!" He called, smiling back widely.

Hu Lei gritted her teeth. 'This brat…' she thought to herself.

"Do you want to watch your idol drama now?" He asked quickly before she could do anything in fury.

Hu Lei looked at the naughty boy and sighed. She would let it go for now. It was the least she could do as a magnanimous elder. She could not be calculating with her new little brother. Children will always need a little leeway.

A wave of sadness rushed into her as she realised how much of his life she had already missed. He must have been incredibly lonely into that time. She decided in that moment that she would always be on his side, supporting him and helping him achieve a happy life.

"You can keep watching your boring show. I have to go." She stood up suddenly.

Murong Fai felt unwillingness in his heart as he looked at her rising to leave. No one had ever spoken to him naturally and teased him so casually. It was more accurate to say that no one paid attention to him. At home, his family did not talk to him at all.

His meals would always be delivered to his room instead of eating with everyone else. When there were parties, he was forbidden from attending. They always said it was for the sake of his health. When he came to hospital, he would only see doctors who did not really talk to him. All the other patients he had met seemed to look down on him and did not even greet him.

Now, seeing this strange woman leaving, he felt like he was losing something important. His head drooped pitifully as he nodded.

"Will I see you again?" He asked hesitantly.

Hu Lei did not respond to this question. Instead, she came closer to him and flicked his face lightly.

"Get well soon, Little Fai."

With that, she left the room and met up with Zhong Feng who was still waiting outside. He immediately pulled her into his arms, looking at her in concern. Even though he had set everything up, he was afraid that seeing Murong Fai would have a bad effect on her.

After all, he was the son of her departed father, and he had lived with her mother and her family for years. These facts could bring up some negative emotions.

"How was it?" He asked.

Hu Lei leaned closer to him and rubbed her face on his clothed chest like a little kitten. She felt at home enfolded into him like this. She felt that she didn't have to be anything other than herself when she was with him. He could calm the storms, the fears and the darkness in her with his presence. He really was her perfection.
