Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 46 Family
"Then in what capacity should I join your dinner?"

Eve curled the corners of her lips, and stared at him quietly with eyes as deep as the sea, as if she could see through all his thoughts.

Eve's words hit Klein's heart like a heavy hammer. He felt a little numb and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Eve took a step forward and stood beside Klein, one hand across her chest and the other hand, palm up, placed on Klein's chest.

"Hey, Melissa, Benson, this lady is my brother from my previous life." Eve imitated Klein's voice and demeanor, introducing "Eve" to the non-existent siblings.

Klein pinched the tip of his index finger, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

He did have the idea of Eve becoming a family with them, even though he knew it was unrealistic.

Klein's lips moved, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by Eve.

"Maybe it's like this," Eve imitated again, "This is Miss Eve, my colleague."

"Guess what they'll think," Eve said, covering her lips with her arms crossed, feigning surprise. "Oh my God! Klein actually took the initiative to bring a strange lady home!"

"Can't we meet?" Klein said in a deep voice.

"Of course," Eve said, putting away her pretentious attitude and cupping Klein's cheek. "But you know, I can never appear before them as your family. In this era, there are no brothers like Zhou Mingzhen and Zhou Mingrui."

Klein was silent for a long moment. Then he said, "But I've already appeared before Ruirui as your family member. You weren't planning on hiding my existence from your family from the beginning, were you?"

"Our situations are completely different, so I was able to tell my family about you," Eve explained. "My family now is only Ruirui, you, and Ouroboros. Ouroboros is my adopted brother, and He knows I've been looking for you."

"I'm sorry," Klein said softly, his brown eyes filled with guilt and sorrow. "I'm sorry, you made me Rarity's brother, but I can't let you become Melissa and Benson's sister."

"It's not your fault," Eve said gently, looking at Klein. "You are my Zhou Mingrui, and you are also Melissa and Benson's Klein."

Klein gently placed one hand on the back of Eve's hand, lowering his eyes, not daring to look directly into her eyes. He said dejectedly, "Next time."

He now didn't know how to face Melissa and Benson, let alone Eve.

Eve nodded without saying anything. To her, Melissa was always Melissa, and Benson was always Benson. If it weren't for Klein, they might never have crossed paths. But after Klein showed up, Melissa and Benson had a new identity in Eve's eyes—Zhou Mingrui's new family.

In Eve's view, they are not family members in terms of blood, law or cognition, and Melissa and Benson don't even know Eve. These three people have no intersection.

The relationship between them needs to be clarified by Klein himself.

This was unfriendly to Klein, but as the person who connected the two parties, as the only bond between Eve, Melissa, and Benson, his attitude would directly affect the relationship between the two parties.

"I'm going back first," Eve said softly, "You can come to me anytime. I will always be your family."

Klein nodded and watched Eve's figure disappear before him. With Eve's disappearance, he also returned to the real world.

Eve returned to her room. She took one look at Ruirui curled up on the bed, picked her up and started sucking her hard.

"Meow!" Ruirui was startled, "What are you doing, meow!"

"Nothing," Eve leaned back and fell on the bed, "I just felt... I really caused Zhou Mingrui a lot of trouble."

"What's the trouble?" Rarity asked as she licked her hair that Eve had messed up. Eve tilted her head to look at Rarity and rubbed her back, messing up the hair she had just trimmed.

"Stop rubbing me, meow!" Ruirui's fur stood up, and she jumped off the bed with a kick of her hind legs, away from Eve's clutches. "I'm so kind and concerned about you, and you treat me like this, meow!"

"What trouble does the little kitty have to worry about?" Eve lay on her side, supporting her head with one hand and looking at Ruirui under the bed. "The little kitty doesn't need to worry about any troubles or worries. The little kitty just needs to live happily and act cute and coquettish with her sister every day."

Rarity rolled her eyes rudely at Eve and ran out of the bedroom.

Moretti family
Benson looked at the absent-minded Klein and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Klein? Are you feeling unwell?"

Melissa also looked over, frowning and looking at her brother with concern. He was so happy to take her out to eat yesterday, but why did he look so wilted today like a cabbage that had lost water?

"No, it's nothing," Klein shook his head. "Just a few minor issues at work."

"Small problems," Benson frowned, speaking earnestly with the attitude of a seasoned veteran. "Even small problems need to be solved quickly, or your boss will be more noisy than a curly-haired baboon, yelling at you all day long. Even if you've done nothing wrong, they'll still jump around like a curly-haired baboon."

Klein forced a smile and said to the siblings, "My boss is a very good person. Apart from his high hairline, he has no flaws."

Benson touched his high hairline and said, "Actually, a high hairline isn't really a disadvantage. It makes me look more mature."

"Indeed," Klein nodded. "He's at least ten years more mature."

……

At around 11 o'clock, the Moretti brothers and sisters said good night to each other and lay down in their respective beds.

The feeling of being watched still follows me everywhere, but the stalker in the dark never shows up.

Although he knew that Eve would not let anything happen to him, he couldn't sleep when he was being watched.

Klein reached under his pillow, where he found the small mirror Eve had given him.

Although he didn't know what this small mirror was used for, Klein always carried it with him and even hid it under his pillow when he slept.

The cool touch of his fingertips dispelled some of his sleepiness. Klein pinched the frame of the small mirror under his pillow.

How can you say that!

Klein's fingers gripped the frame slightly, until his fingertips turned white.

Tell Melissa and Benson that he is not Klein, that the real Klein committed suicide long ago, and that he is just a visitor from another world who occupies Klein's body and possesses Klein's emotions and memories?
How would they react?
accept?

Or was she angry that he had taken over Klein's body and deceived their feelings, and from then on she hated him and abandoned him?
Klein changed his position and lay flat on the bed, looking at the bed board in front of him, as if he could see Benson sleeping soundly through the bed board.

He is Zhou Mingrui, and also Klein.

Klein's memories and emotions have a profound impact on him. Benson and Melissa are his family, and he cannot accept their disgust and abandonment.

Klein stared blankly at the upper bunk, at the thin red veil in the darkness, his eyes filled with confusion.
