Volume 1 Chapter 3.1

"At dawn this morning, a case of an outbreak of water vapor from the engine of a vehicle happened at Taichung city area. The victim is 林余大 (Lin Yu Da), a taxi driver aged forty-seven. According to the report..."

Yu was sleeping.

The most blessed child in the whole world is now sleeping next to him.

Feeling like he was going to suffer from a mental breakdown, Yu Yin was tempted to knock Yu on the head and wake the boy up. Let him have a taste of what it feels like to ’work’ around the clock.

"Ah Yin, here, drink something hot first ba." Pa.s.sing a bowl of hot soup to Yu Yin, Yu Tong, who also did not sleep for the whole night, walked into the room. Taking out a thin blanket and covering it over Yu, Yu Tong took a seat on the other side: "I just received a call from the hospital. Xia said that the taxi driver suffered multiple serious burns but his life is not in danger. You can relax now." Looking at the notes written on his notebook, Yu Tong said to Yu Yin.

Multiple serious burns...

Yu Yin glared at the bowl of hot soup in his hands. Thinking back to the leopard cat that he saw yesterday at the car park, it seems that everything that happened afterward became unusual and something would happen to everyone he met.

It couldn’t be that he is the bringer of disasters ba?

Shouldn’t be ah, he doesn’t remember anything in his fortune saying that he would bring bad luck to anyone this year1.

"Xia said you saw a leopard cat?" Yu Tong turned off the television after the news finished reporting. He then turned on the radio at the side. A clear, soothing music was played, causing one to subconsciously relax.

"En, and before the taxi driver was burned, I saw it too." Yu Yin swiped a hand across his face. Having not slept the whole night and being involved in multiple accidents one after another, he couldn’t help but feel frustrated, tired and unhappy. Going to and fro the hospital the whole day, other than feeling that he was being played, he felt extremely tired.

"Leopard cats are scarcely seen now, even the nearest mountain area requires a one-hour car ride. Maybe during holidays, when it’s your second dad’s turn to have a break, we go out for a walk ba, it will help you get a peace of mind." Flipping his notebook, Yu Tong wrote the suggestion into the notebook.

"Ok."

"Awake? Go take a shower, then go to your room and sleep instead." After hearing his tragic past, Yu Yin could not help but soften his tone. No longer feeling as much dislike for the boy as he did before, instead, he felt pity for the boy.

Nodding his head obediently, Yu got up and folded the thin blanket before looking left and right.

"Go up the second floor, the first room on the right is yours. The second room is mine. On the opposite side is dad’s room then second dad’s room. You can wear my clothes for now, though it may be a little big." Although this new younger brother is a going-to-hit-eighteen ’half adult’, but his entire person is so skinny, he is one full size smaller than Yu Yin.

Yu nodded his head before heading up to the second floor and entering the second room to look for clothes.

Not long after Yu entered the bathroom, Yu Tong returned: "Your second dad is going to check on the reason for the outbreak of water vapor from the engine. After that, he has to report back to his police department so he most likely would not return home tonight. Later I will send some items over to him and start my duty. You decide for yourself if you want to apply a one-day leave from school today."

Relaying a few simple issues, Yu Tong walked into the kitchen and took out a lunchbox.

"Second dad is going to the scene where the outbreak of water vapor happened?" Yu Yin raised an eyebrow.

"He said you rode in the taxi so he is going to make a trip and check out the reason. It won’t take long." Yu Tong replied simply as he prepared a heartfelt lunchbox.

Looking at his dad’s action, the gears in Yu Yin’s brain turned. "Dad, are you going to the scene of the accident and give second dad the lunchbox?"

"En, he has been working since last night and hasn’t eaten anything yet. Since it is on the way to work, I’ll just deliver it to him." Yu Tong quickly packed the lunchbox as he answered.

"Then can I follow?"

"Huh?"
