“That is self praise!” Cheng Fei smiled. He felt that Yin Tao and Cheng Yao were similar.

“Actually, I’ve been hiding something from Yaoyao. She might have noticed it, but she pretended not to know.” There was a tinge of loneliness in Cheng Fei’s eyes. The person he cared about the most was Cheng Yao, but there were some things he couldn’t tell Cheng Yao directly.

“Is it because of how you got your apartment?” Yin Tao saw that Cheng Fei didn’t dare to say it and took the initiative to prompt him.

Cheng Fei was slightly taken aback, but he quickly composed himself. Yin Tao and Cheng Yao weren’t three-year-old kids. It was impossible for them not to notice his abnormality.

“This house and all of Yaoyao’s school fees were provided by Liang Yi.” Cheng Fei lowered his head, as if he was unwilling to admit this, but he had to tell the truth. “Liang Yi is the man you met in the apartment once. Do you still remember him?”

Yin Tao pretended to be deep in thought and nodded her head gently. She went to Cheng Fei’s house specifically to investigate him. Or course she didn’t merely ‘remember’ him

“He’s my lover…” Cheng Fei was silent for a long time after he finished speaking, as if he was waiting for Yin Tao’s reaction.

“Brother Cheng Fei, do you feel uneasy about relying on your lover financially?”

Yin Tao asked casually as she walked with Cheng Fei.

“Don’t you think it’s strange?” Cheng Fei was very surprised by Yin Tao’s reaction. He thought that she wouldn’t be able to accept homosexuality. He didn’t expect Yin Tao to be indifferent.

‘What’s so strange? Don’t you have any feelings for each other?” Yin Tao wondered if she had said something wrong when she saw Cheng Fei remain silent again. After all, Cheng Fei didn’t seem to be willing to be with Liang Yi previously.

“It’s not that I don’t have feelings. I just feel that this relationship is not accepted by society.”

Yin Tao was all ready to comfort him. She didn’t expect Cheng Fei to admit that he had feelings for Liang Yi.

‘What’s there to be ashamed of? You haven’t done anything wrong to hurt others. Love can’t be explained. You just have to follow your heart.”

Putting aside Liang Yi’s black market background, Yin Tao felt that he and Cheng Fei were very compatible. Moreover, Cheng Fei seemed to be in a better state than when she first met him.

‘Will Yaoyao feel the same way too?” Cheng Fei couldn’t help but ask Yin Tao. In fact, what he cared about the most was Cheng Yao’s opinion. If he was hated by his sister, Cheng Fei would rather disappear from this world.

“Yaoyao will probably care more about your feelings.” Yin Tao didn’t know Cheng Yao very well, but she was sure that Cheng Yao wouldn’t care what kind of person Cheng Fei’s other halfwas. She would only care if Cheng Fei was happy in life.

Cheng Fei fell into deep thought because of what Yin Tao said. In fact, he knew Cheng Yao better than anyone else. He also knew that Cheng Yao would not despise him. It was just that she cared a lot for him, so he didn’t have the courage to face her.

“Thank you, Xiaotao. I’ll tell Yaoyao everything after her university entrance examination.” Cheng Fei’s mood eased a lot because of Yin Tao’s reaction. It seemed that he had been overthinking. Some things were clearly very simple.

Seeing that Cheng Fei had let down his guard, Yin Tao pretended to casually ask, “Brother Cheng Fei, but what does that Liang Yi do? He seems quite wealthy. Will he implicate you?’

Yin Tao appeared to be concerned about Cheng Fei, but in fact, she was really worried that Liang Yi’s background in the black market would affect Cheng Fei and Cheng Yao.

“It’s fine.” Cheng Fei smiled at Yin Tao and said confidently to assure her, “Liang Yi is different from those people. He has his own principles and won’t get into trouble.”

Yin Tao could tell that Cheng Fei trusted Liang Yi, but she felt otherwise. After all, he was a member of the black market. Even if he had his own principles, he couldn’t help but engage in illegal activities.

“Does he know that Yaoyao wishes to enroll in the police academy?” Yin Tao was very curious about Liang Yi’s attitude towards Cheng Yao. Since he was willing to pay for Cheng Yao’s tuition fees, he would definitely know what university Cheng Yao would attend in the future.

“I know. Liang Yi said that it’s good for girls to be police officers so that they won’t be bullied in the future.’

Yin Tao was shocked to hear what Cheng Fei said. She didn’t expect Liang Yi to be supportive of Cheng Fei’s sister becoming a police officer. She didn’t know if he was too loyal to Cheng Fei or too self-confident.

“That’s good. Brother Cheng Fei, I’ll go back first. You should go home and rest early. It must be hard to cook the entire morning..”
