After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

Six o'clock in the evening.

Chen Xinyi is back.

She took a shower first, changed into a beige linen shirt and light gray cropped pants, and styled her hair again, which was still warm from the hairdryer as it was draped over her shoulders.

Lin Siyan arrived home around the same time as Lin Siyan, returning from the coffee shop with a brown paper bag containing two iced Americanos.

Chen Xinyi pulled Wei Yi out of his room and slapped him on the butt.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

The X5 drove out of Zhichun Dongli, turned onto Zhongguancun East Road, and headed towards Wudaokou.

The evening rush hour had just begun, and cars were already queuing up on the road.

Chen Xinyi held the steering wheel with one hand and adjusted the air conditioning vents with the other, explaining the restaurant's situation to Wei Yi.

"The current store manager is Kim Se-rin, a South Korean. He was hired at the end of last year and will be a senior this year. He is a South Korean exchange student at the National Southwest Associated University."

"The UN General Assembly?"

"Yes. Capital Union University. She studied journalism there, and she worked at my restaurant during her sophomore year. We got to know each other, and I thought she was reliable and experienced, so I simply let her manage the restaurant."

Chen Xinyi turned the steering wheel and entered the auxiliary road near Wudaokou subway station.

Wei Yi thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

His sister had made him apply to the National United University in his past life, and he received a lot of "care" from senior Jin Shilin during his freshman year.

For example, she would "patrol" his class every week; she would always slip him well-organized notes before exams; and every time she went there, she would ask him if he had a girlfriend, and if not, if he wanted her to introduce him to someone.

Of course, the so-called introductions eventually turned into self-introductions.

Lin Siyan sat in the passenger seat, quietly scrolling through her phone, without saying a word.

"Hanweiwu" is located in an alley in Wudaokou. The storefront is small, but the decoration is very thoughtful.

The moment I pushed open the door, the rich aroma of kimchi, grilled pork belly, and soybean paste soup filled my nostrils.

It was lunchtime, and most of the tables were full.

The store was playing a Korean ballad, with a soft and gentle melody that wasn't too loud.

A girl wearing a black apron was standing behind the bar, explaining something to a waiter.

She was about 1.65 meters tall, a little taller than Chen Xinyi, with shoulder-length hair dyed chestnut brown and slightly curled at the ends.

The black short-sleeved T-shirt was tight-fitting, as were the dark blue jeans. The apron's ties were tied around her waist, making her curvaceous figure stand out even more.

He's obviously a regular at the gym.

Upon seeing Chen Xinyi enter, she immediately put down the list in her hand and hurried over to greet her.

"Boss Xinyi is here!"

The two hugged tightly. Jin Shilin released Chen Xinyi and turned her gaze to Wei Yi behind them.

From top to bottom, from bottom to top.

That look in his eyes seemed to be assessing something, or confirming something.

"Is this the child groom you've been raising?"

Chen Xinyi nodded with a smile.

"You're so handsome." Jin Shilin walked over and looked him over carefully, tilting her head to look at his face. "You're tall too, and much more handsome than in the photos. That's great, I really envy you, Xinyi."

"hey-hey!"

She reached out her hand.

"Hello, my name is Jin Shilin."

Wei Yi grasped it.

Her palms were dry and warm, with distinct knuckles. These were hands that had been used for work.

"Wei Yi".

"I've already worn out all the photos of you on Xinyi's phone."

Jin Shilin's smile was bright, like the June sun shining on glass. "She says 'my brother, my brother' in the shop every day, we're sick of hearing it. Today we finally saw her in person."

"How are you doing?"

"He's better than in the photos." Kim Se-rin released her grip, took a step back, and looked him over again. "He's really tall. He has a good build too, and his shoulders are broad enough."

She turned her head and winked at Chen Xinyi, "You have good taste."

Chen Xinyi's lips curled up, and she reached out to take Wei Yi's arm. "What do you think?"

Jin Shilin led the three people to a small private room inside.

Then, plates of pork belly, beef tongue, and beef steak were served one after another.

Jin Shilin sat down next to Chen Xinyi and took off her apron, placing it aside.

"We have a head chef in the kitchen and an assistant manager in the front," Chen Xinyi announced. "Shilin will be dining with us today."

When the charcoal fire was burning at its brightest, Jin Shilin used tongs to turn the pork belly on the grill. The oil dripped onto the charcoal, sizzling and creating small flames.

She placed the grilled meat on a lettuce leaf, added a slice of garlic, spread some sauce, wrapped it up, and handed it to Wei Yi.

"Try it. The pork belly in our shop is made from Jeju Island black pork. Of course, it's not air-shipped from South Korea; we find a supplier in Yanbian. But the taste is very close."

When Wei Yi took it, his fingertips touched hers. She smiled at him.

Chen Xinyi watched from the side, her expression extremely satisfied, and she picked up a slice of beef tongue and placed it on the baking tray.

"Sister Shilin, your Chinese is so good." Wei Yi took a bite of the lettuce bun, and the meat juice burst in his mouth.

"After all, I've been in Yanjing for three years now." Jin Shilin also prepared one for himself, "I can understand it just by listening."

She likes to gesture when she speaks, waving chopsticks between her fingers like a conductor.

"Sister Shilin really has a talent for languages," Chen Xinyi interjected. "She can now understand both Cantonese and our Chaoshan dialect."

"That's because you forced me to. How many of your suppliers speak Mandarin? Many of them are your fellow Cantonese."

Wei Yi listened to the two women bickering without stopping his chopsticks.

I must say, the food at this restaurant is really delicious.

No wonder they managed to break into the top three in Wudaokou, a battleground of Korean cuisine.

Halfway through the meal, the conversation turned to Kim Se-rin's background.

It turns out that she came to Yenching University to study because she had a falling out with her family and ran away.

She is her parents' only daughter.

Her father owned a small shipyard in Busan and wanted her to return home after graduating from university to get married so that her husband could take over the business.

As a result, she fell in love with Yanjing after staying there for a few years and refused to go back.

Last year, I called her dad and we argued for half an hour on the phone.

In the end, her father cut off her living expenses, but she still refused to give in.

Fortunately, Chen Xinyi took her in.

"So now I'm almost officially a citizen of theirs," Jin Shilin said with a smile. "Once Xinyi becomes successful, I'll completely side with her."

"Don't worry, it'll be soon." Chen Xinyi picked up a piece of steak. "After graduation, you can work for me directly. The beauty salon is also short-staffed. And I have a new plan!"

As Wei Yi listened to these words, scenes from his past life began to play automatically in his mind.

In her past life, this past December, on a weekend, Chen Xinyi brought her home for drinks.

The three of them drank until very late, and he was quite tipsy.

Later, all I remember is Jin Shilin's laughter mixed with Chen Xinyi's perfume scent.

When they woke up the next morning, the three of them were crammed into one bed.

He pondered this matter for a long time before he finally understood: there was no such thing as drunken misconduct. It was all a premeditated arrangement by his sister.

Kim Se-rin later gave birth to three children for him, two boys and one girl.

He is one less than Chen Xinyi's four, but ranks second among the "Five Tigers".

Moreover, this woman has ridiculously high energy levels.

She returned to work at Chen Xinyi's company when her three children were just a month old.

Later, she became Chen Xinyi's top lieutenant, managing the daily operations of both the chain beauty salons and the chain restaurants, demonstrating exceptional ability.

After giving birth to her third child, she actually changed her nationality to hers.

"Wei Yi's younger brother?"

Kim Se-rin's voice pulled him out of his memories.

"What are you staring at? Isn't it tasty?"

"Delicious, very delicious."

"Then eat more." She picked up a piece of beef tongue and put it in his bowl, gently tapping it on the rim with her chopsticks. "You're so thin, Xinyi will blame me for not feeding you enough."

Chen Xinyi and Jin Shilin chatted about the restaurant's revenue for the month.

"From June until now, it's already increased by 30% compared to the entire month of May," Jin Shilin counted on her fingers. "There are two reasons. One is that the World Cup boosted late-night food delivery, with orders after 10 pm increasing by a third. The other is that two restaurants on the next street were found to have hygiene problems, and a lot of customers have come here."

"Is the takeout packaging up to standard?"

"I changed to a new insulated bag. I made a small modification to the box design to prevent the fried chicken from getting soggy, and added a few ventilation holes."

Chen Xinyi nodded, "Keep a close eye on the late-night snack supply during the World Cup. This is the best window of opportunity all year."

"We also have Korean fried chicken and beer combo meals," Kim Se-rin said. "This item sells exceptionally well. One customer ordered it for four consecutive days, and on the fourth day, he called to ask if he could get a monthly pass."

The women all laughed.

Wei Yi's heart stirred.

Korean fried chicken with beer became a hit when the drama "My Love from the Star" aired at the end of last year, and its popularity was still going strong in the summer of 2014.

Now, it coincides with the World Cup, which is perfect timing, location, and people.

Jin Shilin's ability to seize this trend shows she has a good business sense.

However, to be fair, someone who is favored by his sister and entrusted with important responsibilities must be quite capable.

It's just that her sister has a bad habit.

She had her eye on him, but she always liked to snuggle into his arms.

Lin Siyan said she needed to go to the restroom, and Chen Xinyi also said she needed to go.

When they went to the restroom, Jin Shilin sat opposite Wei Yi, suddenly put down her chopsticks, and looked at him with her hands supporting her chin.

There were only two people left in the private room. The charcoal in the grill was still burning, occasionally crackling and popping.

The sounds of people from the restaurant outside drifted in through the sliding doors, indistinct, like the sound of distant ocean waves.

"Brother Wei Yi."

"Um?"

Xinyi said she waited for you for eighteen years.

"...I guess so."

Kim Se-rin's lips curled up in a slightly mischievous smile.

She gently tapped her cheek with her fingers, which were covered in light pink nail polish, and they looked beautiful.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Wei Yi paused for a moment with his chopsticks.

Lin Siyan also asked this question.

He picked up his cup and took a sip of tea. "...I didn't intend to run away."

"That's good." Jin Shilin nodded, picked up the tongs and wrapped another piece of grilled meat for him. "Xinyi is a good woman. If you dare to run away..."

She placed the lettuce wrap on the plate in front of him and looked up at him.

"Well, there's no way anyone would want to run away. She's a woman who even makes my heart flutter!"

Her eyes flickered under the light, like a cat assessing its prey.

Wei Yi and she stared at each other for two seconds.

This is the second one.

The first one is Lin Siyan. Lin Siyan said, "You can't escape it."

Now it's Kim Se-rin.

Why are all these women siding with his sister?

Oh right. Because they actually like his sister.

He's just the rope in the middle.

However, Sister Jin is still better than Sister Lin.

At least this person is heterosexual, but he admires Chen Xinyi, this strong woman, too much.

She's a big fan of his sister.

It was almost nine o'clock when we came out after dinner.

Jin Shilin saw the three people to the door and hugged Chen Xinyi.

Her chin rested on Chen Xinyi's shoulder, but her eyes glanced at Wei Yi over Chen Xinyi's shoulder.

Then she let go of Chen Xinyi and walked over to shake hands with Wei Yi.

This time, the handshake lasted about two seconds longer than when I entered.

"Come often," she said.

"Yes."

"Next time you come, I'll ask the chef to make you ginseng chicken soup. It's very nourishing."

She blinked deliberately.

After getting in the car, the X5 drove out of the alley in Wudaokou. Chen Xinyi glanced at Wei Yi in the rearview mirror.

"How is Sister Se-rin?"

"...a really nice person."

"She's the little White Tiger, you're the big Qing Long."

"What?"

"It's nothing," Chen Xinyi laughed.

Wei Yi sat in the back seat and turned his face to look out the window.

Depend on!

He had just realized what was happening and wanted to complain, but the timing was wrong.

After getting home, Wei Yi took a shower. The hot water from the showerhead washed away the smell of barbecue.

After entering the house, he practiced his boxing twice before lying down.

Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, he began to do mental calculations.

Lin Siyan, Jin Shilin. There are two more. The Five Tigers, now three are gathered.

In her previous life, Kim Se-rin joined at the end of the year, and Lin Si-yeon joined at the beginning of next year.

He rolled over.

My phone on the bedside table vibrated. It was a WeChat message from Chen Xinyi.

Are you happy today?

"Um."

"Isn't Se-rin's barbecue delicious?"

"tasty."

"I'll take you there often from now on. You should also keep in touch with her; she's a very nice person."

"Okay, sis."

A few seconds later, another message came in.

Goodnight, my Wei Yi.

Wei Yi stared at the word "mine" and placed his phone face down on the bedside table.

Forget it.

Go to sleep.

I'm not watching the game tonight.

Since we're destined to lose anyway, we'll just use it as data.
