After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

in the room.

Wei Yi held Chen Xinyi's hand tightly, without letting go.

Chen Xinyi looked up at him, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. This younger brother seemed a little different today.

Wei Yi looked into her eyes, his heart churning with turmoil.

Scenes from my past life flashed through my mind.

She supported him throughout his four years of university, and his living expenses arrived on time every month, more punctual than an alarm clock.

And they would give him extra money all the time, making him the richest guy in the dorm during college.

Three years after graduation, he took the civil service exam and didn't work. She never complained and covered all his expenses, including rent, utilities, food, and pocket money.

The day he passed the civil service exam, she was even happier than him and treated the entire law firm to dinner.

When he became the deputy director, she set up five tables at home and invited all his colleagues over, telling everyone, "This is my husband, the youngest deputy director of the street office in Chaoyang District."

When she was pregnant with her third child, she vomited so much that she became dehydrated and had to be hospitalized.

He was too busy with work to stay with her at the hospital, and she told the nurse, "My husband is busy, don't blame him."

This woman was his biggest supporter from beginning to end.

Regardless of whether he was rich or poor, successful or unsuccessful, in her eyes he would always be the one she could open her heart to.

So there's no point in keeping it from her.

Wei Yi took a deep breath: "Sister, I didn't lose. I won a lot of money."

Chen Xinyi blinked.

"You won? You won a lot? How much did you win?"

Wei Yi didn't answer. He released her hand, opened the Zhifubao account balance page, and turned the screen towards her.

Chen Xinyi looked down at the screen.

Her gaze lingered on that long string of numbers for a long time.

31600000+.

She watched it three times.

The first time I read it, I didn't understand it; the second time, I thought I had misread it; and the third time, I was sure there was nothing wrong with my eyes.

"...Is this money? Is this amount of money?"

"Um."

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million... Where did you get so much money?!"

"Betting on football."

"You gambled it all?"

"Um."

Chen Xinyi took a step back and sat on the edge of the bed. Her expression was complex, a mixture of shock and disbelief, disbelief and fantasy, like a computer rebooting.

The processor is running at high speed, but the screen is not yet lit.

At that moment, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.

Lin Siyan stood at the doorway, holding a glass of milk, her expression hesitant. "I overheard something outside... Should I avoid them?"

Chen Xinyi looked up at her, her eyes still a little unfocused: "Siyan, come and look at this."

Lin Siyan walked in, placed the warm milk on the bedside table, and looked down at the computer screen.

Then her pupils dilated slightly.

"RMB?"

"Renminbi (RMB)".

Lin Siyan turned to look at Chen Xinyi. The two women exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

A moment later, the three moved to the living room.

Chen Xinyi took out three cans of beer from the refrigerator, one for each of them.

She felt that the milk was not enough and that she needed to continue supplementing with alcohol.

The three people sat on the sofa and chairs, forming a triangle.

Wei Yi gave a general account of what had happened during this period.

It's definitely a modified version.

He said he has loved watching football since he was a child, and he has a thorough understanding of the data of each team in the World Cup. He even started paying attention to the odds for this World Cup before taking the college entrance examination.

After arriving in Yanjing, I found that my predictions of match results were often correct, so I tried placing small bets.

I was lucky and won several upsets in a row, so my money grew to this amount.

This explanation certainly doesn't stand up to professional scrutiny, but Chen Xinyi's current state clearly doesn't allow her the energy to delve into logical flaws.

She took a big gulp of beer, put down the can, and stared at Wei Yi for a long while.

"So, all that time you've been staying up late every night wasn't just watching the games, it was betting on them?"

"Yes."

Where did you get your initial capital from?

"I received over five thousand yuan in New Year's money and pocket money, plus the ten thousand you gave me. In the first match, Brazil vs. Croatia, I bet on a score of 1 to 3, turning fifteen thousand into two hundred thousand."

Chen Xinyi was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said something that stunned Wei Yi and Lin Siyan.

"You dared to bet everything in the first round?"

There was even a hint of admiration in her tone.

Wei Yi stood up and walked to Chen Xinyi.

"Sister, I plan to give you 20 million out of the 30 million."

Chen Xinyi almost choked on her beer. Lin Siyan's hand, which was holding the beer can, also stopped.

"Give me?"

"right."

Wei Yi started counting on his fingers, listing his reasons one by one, clearly and logically.

The first reason is that I'm afraid I won't be able to save it.

"I'm only eighteen after all. Money that comes too quickly can also go away just as easily. I'll leave some with you as a savings account."

The second point is that you need to expand your business.

"Didn't you say before that the beauty salon wanted to buy new equipment and the restaurant wanted to expand? These are times when you need funds. You don't need to go to the bank for a loan; you can use mine."

Thirdly, what's mine is yours.

"You've been raising me since I was little. When have you ever complained about the money you've spent on me? Now that I have money, isn't it only right that I give it to you? What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. We don't distinguish between each other."

The third point made Chen Xinyi's throat tighten.

Something flickered in her peach blossom eyes, but she held it back.

Lin Siyan quietly drank her beer, her gaze shifting back and forth between Wei Yi and Chen Xinyi.

Chen Xinyi remained silent for a moment, then stood up and walked to Wei Yi.

She was a head shorter than him, but her presence was never small. She looked up at him, her expression serious.

"I don't want 20 million."

"sister……"

"Fifteen million." Chen Xinyi interrupted him, her tone leaving no room for negotiation. "I'll take fifteen million, and you can keep operating the rest."

Her logic was this: He's on a winning streak right now, it would be a shame to make him quit completely.

The World Cup is only a little over a month away; once it's over, it's gone forever.

So he continued playing, but only in this World Cup.

Sixteen million was the amount he continued to operate; if he lost it all, he was not allowed to touch it again, but winning didn't matter.

After the World Cup ends, regardless of whether he wins or loses, he is never allowed to gamble in any form again.

Betting, lotteries, mahjong, and poker are all prohibited.

Looking at her face, Wei Yi felt a mix of emotions welling up inside him.

This is Chen Xinyi.

The normal reaction of most people when they discover their younger brother is gambling on soccer is to confiscate all his money, force him to quit, and give him a severe scolding.

She did it perfectly: first she analyzed the pros and cons, then she conducted a risk assessment, and finally she gave him room to maneuver.

He was protected, but his abilities were respected.

Lin Siyan couldn't help but speak up, "Xinyi, aren't you just condoning him? Gambling is something like that..."

Chen Xinyi turned to look at her and smiled, "Siyan, actually I'm a gambler too. Back in my second semester of freshman year, I only had a few tens of thousands of yuan from part-time jobs and savings, and I still won at gambling, didn't I?"

She paused, turned to look at Wei Yi, and added, "Of course, betting on football is still gambling, its nature remains the same. So, we're not allowed to touch the World Cup anymore; that's the bottom line."

Lin Siyan opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

But there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes when she looked at Chen Xinyi.

This woman spoils her brother to the point of having no principles.

After the matter was discussed, the atmosphere relaxed.

Wei Yi looked at Chen Xinyi, his mind filled with images from his past life and her words from just now.

This woman protected him until her death in her past life.

When he was admitted to the ICU, the last thing he saw was her holding his hand, her face full of tears and regret.

Even if she were to live a second life, she would still be the same. She's fierce on the outside, but soft on the inside.

She could have kept him under strict control, but she always left him some leeway.

Wei Yi suddenly took a step forward.

Before Chen Xinyi could react, he had already hugged her tightly.

Then he lowered his head and kissed her.

Chen Xinyi was stunned for a second. She knew that it was always she who initiated things between them.

But she only hesitated for a second. Then she stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and responded passionately.

Neither of them knew how long the kiss lasted.

Lin Siyan sat on the sofa, still holding the can of beer in her hand.

Her gaze remained fixed on the two of them, unmoving.

Her expression was complicated.

Her lips twitched slightly; was she happy for Chen Xinyi? After all, that was the person she liked, and she had finally gotten what she wanted.

But Lin Siyan's own eyes were also slightly red.

Was it jealousy? Envy? Or both?

She lowered her head, placed the beer can on the coffee table, stood up, and tiptoed into the room.

When she closed the door, she leaned against the door panel and looked up at the ceiling.

She let out a soft breath.

She thought to herself: In the end, she loved him. It always was him. What am I?

Then she thought to herself: At least she's happy. As long as she's happy.
