Wen Li stood at the station entrance for a while, watching the crowds of people coming and going. Facing this unfamiliar city, her eyes were somewhat lost.
"What are you thinking about?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Li snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Wen Xu with surprise.
"Brother? When did you get back?"
"Sis! You're finally back! Mom and Dad have been talking about you every day!"
When Wen Li saw the teenage boy standing next to Wen Xu, her eyes instantly reddened.
"Yangyang!"
This is her own brother, the brother who looks exactly like her from the original world!
When Wen Yang saw Wen Li crying, the boy was at a loss and took out a handkerchief to wipe away Wen Li's tears.
"Sis, don't cry! Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll go teach them a lesson!"
Wen Yang is fifteen years old this year, and he is half a head taller than Wen Li. His deliberately fierce tone still carries a touch of childishness.
Wen Li hugged Wen Yang, her tears flowing like a flood that couldn't be stopped.
Seeing his younger sister crying like this, Wen Xu's eyes also reddened.
"Let's go home first! There are so many people watching!"
Wen Li noticed the strange looks from passersby towards her and her siblings. Embarrassed, she wiped away her tears and spoke with a nasal tone.
Why didn't you remind me sooner?
"I don't know who it was, but they cried their eyes out without saying a word!"
Wen Xu carried Wen Li's package and walked to the car by the roadside.
Along the way, Wen Yang was afraid of making his sister cry again, so he kept telling her jokes.
Looking at the lively and energetic Wen Yang, Wen Li became even more eager to meet the original owner's parents.
How could she not be happy that her family could reunite in another time and space?
Back in the family compound, Wen Li looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar surroundings. Thinking about her parents whom she was about to meet, she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands.
Seemingly sensing her emotions, Wen Xu patiently explained.
"Mom and Dad haven't gotten off work yet, they'll be home later. Dad went out early this morning to buy your favorite dishes, he said he'll cook them for you himself when he gets home from get off work!"
"Um!"
Wen Li looked around the house; the Wen family's house was a two-story building.
The interior is simply decorated, yet it is very cozy, filled with the atmosphere of daily life.
A black and white family photo is also displayed on the coffee table in the living room.
Wen Li picked up the family photo, looked at her parents' familiar faces, and couldn't help but cry again.
The photo must have been taken several years ago. Wen Yang in the photo looks only eight or nine years old, while the original owner of the body was only eleven or twelve.
Wen Xu was only a little older, and he still looked like a boy who hadn't quite grown up.
The family of five in the photo is smiling happily. Wen Li raises her hand to touch the smiling faces in the photo, and the corners of her mouth also unconsciously turn up.
"These photos were taken before I joined the army. Perfect timing, our family will finally be reunited this year, let's take a few more then!"
"Great! We'll take lots of pictures then!"
"Sis, I've already taken the hot water to the bathroom for you. Go wash up, and I'll cook you a bowl of noodles to tide you over!"
Wen Xu chuckled and patted Wen Yang's head. "You're showing favoritism, aren't you? Why weren't you this attentive when I came back?"
Wen Yang slapped Wen Xu's hand away and said matter-of-factly, "You're a man. Mom said men should be tough. My sister is a girl, and as a man, I have to take care of her!"
Wen Xu laughed in exasperation, "Hey, what does a little brat know about being a man?"
Seeing the two of them playfully bickering, Wen Li also laughed.
Seeing that Wen Li finally smiled, Wen Xu ruffled her hair. "Go wash up first, I'll help you put your things back in your room!"
"My clothes are in the suitcase, and the other packages are full of food. Just take them out and put them in the kitchen!"
"Okay, let me help you take your suitcase upstairs!"
Wen Li went to the bathroom to wash up, and when she came out, a bowl of steaming hot egg noodles was already on the table.
"When did Yangyang learn to cook?"
"Hehe, since you're not home and Mom and Dad are often too busy to come home, I have to learn to cook for myself when I'm hungry. Try it and see if it's good?"
Wen Li picked up a piece with her chopsticks and tasted it. "Delicious! It seems my little brother has grown up a lot while I was away!"
Wen Yang scratched his head sheepishly, "Hehe, I'm glad you like it. I'll make it for you again tomorrow!"
"OK!"
After Wen Li finished eating her noodles, Wen Xu took the bowl and chopsticks to wash them.
"Go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll call you later!"
Wen Li nodded. She hadn't been sleeping well these past few days, and now that she was full, she felt a little sleepy.
"Remember to call me later!"
Following the original owner's memories, Wen Li arrived on the second floor and pushed open the door.
Inside was a four-poster bed about 1.5 meters wide, and besides a wardrobe, there was also a desk in the room.
The house was spotless, and the thick cotton quilt on the bed smelled faintly of soap.
The sunlight streaming through the window calmed her constantly anxious heart.
From the moment she was in the car accident, and then inexplicably found herself in this strange world, her heart was always hanging in mid-air, like a drifting duckweed with nowhere to go.
Lying on the warm, soft bed, she felt like she had found a home.
Before closing her eyes, she murmured, "So good!"
When she woke up again, it was already dark outside. She had slept for a full three hours without dreaming. When she woke up, her mind was clear and she felt refreshed.
"Knock knock knock—"
"Darling, are you awake?"
A gentle female voice sounded at the door.
Wen Li got up and opened the door. A middle-aged woman with short hair was standing in the doorway.
The woman's facial features were almost identical to Wen Li's; when she saw Wen Li, the tenderness in her eyes seemed about to overflow.
"My little girl!"
"mom!"
Wen Li called out the unfamiliar yet familiar name with difficulty, then stepped forward and hugged Song Yu.
Song Yu choked back tears as she stroked Wen Li's back, "Oh, my darling, you've suffered so much!"
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
"Mommy knows that Daddy and Daddy miss you very much too!"
When the mother and daughter came downstairs, their eyes were red.
The living room was filled with the aroma of food. Wen Guodong, wearing an apron, was placing a plate of stir-fried dishes on the table.
Upon seeing Wen Li come downstairs, the man's serious expression immediately softened. Perhaps he was used to being serious, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.
"dad!"
"Are you hungry? Your food will be ready soon!"
Song Yu glanced at Wen Guodong, "That's just how your dad is. He's been so excited these past few days he can't sleep, but now that he's seen people, he doesn't know what to say!"
Wen Li felt a warmth in her heart. Her father was just like that; he didn't know how to express himself verbally, but he would show his love for his children through his actions.
"Dad, I want your sweet and sour pork ribs!"
Wen Guodong's face was beaming with smiles. "Yes, yes, the ribs will be ready soon!"
Wen Yang feigned jealousy and said, "Sis, Dad doesn't cook at all when you're not around. You're the one with the most influence!"
Song Yu raised his hand and slapped Wen Yang on the forehead.
"You brat, you know how busy your dad is usually, how dare you say that!"
Wen Yang clutched his head in pain.
"Mom, you've beaten me so badly I'm practically brain-dead!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
