After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

evening.

Yanjing City.

Guijie Street.

Back then, crayfish were just becoming popular. They were selling for much more than they would in later years, especially since this was the capital city.

However, Wei Yi knew that neither his sister nor Sister Lin needed this small amount of money.

His older sister is a successful businesswoman and is now quite wealthy. Lin Siyan is an only child from the Yangtze River Delta region, and strictly speaking, she is even richer than his sister.

So they brought out a big bowl each of spicy crayfish and thirteen-spice seasoning.

Chen Xinyi's shrimp-peeling skills were professional; she peeled one shrimp in three seconds and removed the shrimp veins cleanly. After peeling them, she didn't put them in her own bowl but piled them all in front of Wei Yi.

"Sis, you eat it yourself."

"You're thin, eat more."

Looking at the mountain of shrimp meat in front of him, Wei Yi felt a mix of emotions.

His sister has said the word "thin" at least ten times today.

In his past life, he would have been incredibly moved, but now, he always feels like a pig being carefully fed.

His sister is waiting for the day he's ready to be sold.

Lin Siyan sat opposite, quietly peeling her shrimp, occasionally glancing up and smiling. She ate very politely, taking small bites, a stark contrast to Chen Xinyi next to her, who was happily munching on her food with her sleeves rolled up.

After eating crayfish, we took a walk along Houhai Lake to digest.

The evening breeze in June blew across the lake, carrying moisture and willow catkins.

The lights on the bar street lit up one by one, and a folk singer nearby was playing "Miss Dong" with his guitar. The sound system was so-so, but the atmosphere was great.

Tourists were scattered in twos and threes; some were taking selfies, while others sat on the railings drinking soda.

Chen Xinyi naturally linked her arm with Wei Yi's arm.

She pressed herself against him, her shoulder against his upper arm, the hem of her white dress brushing against his jeans.

Their intimate gestures were ingrained habits, so much so that they didn't even need to greet each other.

Wei Yi could feel her body temperature on the inside of his arm.

Summer clothes are thin; even with two layers of fabric, it feels like there's no barrier. He tried to pull his hand out.

Chen Xinyi clung to her even tighter.

"Behave yourself." She turned her head and looked at him with her eyes crinkling.

"Sis, it's hot."

"What's so hot? The wind is so strong."

Wei Yi twitched again.

Chen Xinyi simply wrapped both arms around him, hanging her whole body on his arm. "Be honest. You were always like this when you were little, the older you get, the less obedient you become."

When I was young.

When he was little, she did hold his hand and hug him every day, but he didn't understand anything back then. Now that he understands everything, he's even more afraid to let her touch him.

Let me practice for a while longer, right?

The barbecue stall owner, who was passing by with a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced at the two of them and said with a smile to the guy next to him, "This young couple has such a good relationship."

Chen Xinyi heard this and her lips curled up even higher. Wei Yi sighed inwardly again.

Lin Siyan followed beside her, holding a cup of yogurt she had bought on the way, her expression calm.

When the boss mentioned "young couple," she bit her straw for half a second, then continued drinking her yogurt as if she hadn't heard a thing.

"Siyan, hurry up." Chen Xinyi called out to her as she turned around.

Lin Siyan responded and quickly followed, standing shoulder to shoulder with Chen Xinyi.

The three of them strolled around Houhai.

Chen Xinyi stood on the Yinding Bridge for a while and took several photos, all of them of Wei Yi.

Wei Yi wanted to take pictures of her and Lin Siyan, and Lin Siyan was clearly interested.

But Chen Xinyi waved her hand and said no, saying that the two of them had already taken enough photos.

Later, we went to a quiet bar on the bar street and had some drinks.

It was almost 11 o'clock when I got home.

The three of them took turns showering.

Wei Yi took a shower first, and after showering, he put on the pajamas that Chen Xinyi had bought. He felt that the material was incredibly soft, and it must have cost a lot of money.

He sat on the edge of the bed drying his hair with a towel. He heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom; his sister must have gone in.

A little while later, he was scrolling through his phone looking at World Cup news.

The door was pushed open.

Chen Xinyi walked in carrying a glass of warm milk. She had changed into a light pink cotton nightgown, and her hair was still wet. She locked the door behind her as soon as she came in.

Click.

Wei Yi's hand, which was swiping the screen, suddenly stopped.

"Drink some milk, it'll help you sleep and warm your stomach, you just had some wine." Chen Xinyi handed him the glass and sat down next to him. The mattress sank in, and their shoulders were almost touching.

"Sis, I'm not going to sleep tonight. I'm going to watch the World Cup."

"Oh, right. Luckily I didn't forget, I bought you beer and soda in the fridge. I'll ask your sister Siyan to make you some snacks to go with the drinks, she's a much better cook than me."

"Your hair isn't even dry!" Chen Xinyi picked up a towel from the side, turned to the side, and began to dry his hair strand by strand. Her fingers ran through his hair, her fingertips brushing against his earlobe, her breath close to his.

The warm steam from the milk rose up.

The scents of shampoo and shower gel filled my nostrils.

Wei Yi held the cup, his Adam's apple bobbing.

His sister's nightgown had a low neckline.

Shaking YOYO.

He didn't dare look over there from that distance, so he could only stare at the milk in the cup, pretending to be studying the milk skin.

It wasn't that he was a saint, but rather that he was afraid of death. He felt he hadn't yet mastered his martial arts, and therefore dared not act recklessly.

"Sis, that's about enough."

"It's still wet."

Chen Xinyi's voice is naturally sweet, but when she lowers it, it's like adding a thickener.

Her movements as she dried his hair slowed down, and she went from wiping to touching, her fingertips circling around the ends of his hair.

Wei Yi was about to speak.

She turned her head and pressed her lips to the corner of his lips.

A warm breath wafted over.

Wei Yi's mind went blank for a moment, but his body reacted faster than his brain, tilting his head to the side. His lips brushed against his cheek, landing near his ear.

During the summer vacation of his third year of junior high school, he was taking a nap at home when he vaguely felt something soft on his lips.

It was fragrant and soft, and a cunning yet sweet little snake kept trying to crawl inside.

He put it in without thinking.

A few seconds later, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He opened his eyes and saw Chen Xinyi face to face with him, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him.

He was so startled he jumped out of bed. She laughed and said "Mine," then left.

Since then, this has happened frequently.

This happened tonight in my past life too.

This time, however, he was reborn, and the cause of his death in his previous life was so absurd.

He really didn't dare challenge the Great Demon King before he was certain that he had mastered his divine skills.

Chen Xinyi wasn't annoyed when he turned his head away. She lightly stroked his chin with her fingertips, her voice laced with laughter: "What's there to be shy about? It's not like we've never kissed before. You weren't like this when I came home for Labor Day last time!"

"Sis, it's getting late..."

Chen Xinyi was about to say something.

Footsteps came from outside the door.

Lin Siyan came out of the bathroom, the sound of her footsteps on the floor growing louder as she approached.

He paused briefly at Chen Xinyi's room door, presumably to retrieve a change of clothes, before heading towards the living room.

Chen Xinyi glanced at the door and stood up.

"Go to sleep early." She tossed the towel on the bedside table, turned, and walked towards the door. The door lock turned very softly, and she went out.

The door wasn't closed properly; there was a crack.

From the living room came her voice talking to Lin Siyan, her tone as natural as if nothing had happened: "Siyan, don't forget to hang the clothes out of the washing machine. After you're done, make some snacks for my brother to go with his drinks. My cooking isn't as good as yours."

"Okay. Go blow-dry your hair."

"Too lazy to blow-dry, let it air dry."

"It will give you a headache."

"Then you blow it for me."

"OK……"

The sound gradually faded.

Wei Yi sat on the edge of the bed, still holding the glass of warm milk in his hand.

He took a sip.

The temperature is just right, neither too hot nor too cold.

She even controlled the temperature of the milk perfectly. This woman knows exactly what she's doing.

Including that kiss just now.

Including my first kiss in my third year of junior high school.

Including a month later in my previous life.

It was all planned.

In his past life, he thought he couldn't hold back, but now, looking back, it doesn't matter whether he could hold back or not; she never intended for him to hold back from the beginning.

Another noise came from outside the door.

Lin Siyan was passing by while picking up her clothes.

Wei Yi suddenly realized something.

Just now, when Chen Xinyi was in his room, Lin Siyan came out after taking a shower and was going to the master bedroom.

The door to his small bedroom isn't on the way.

But she still passed by the doorway, and even stopped for a moment.

In his previous life, Wei Yi always thought that Lin Siyan was only involved later.

I thought this quiet woman had gradually come to accept that absurd relationship.

I'll live my life again.

He stared at the light coming through the crack in the door.

He knew that Lin Siyan had probably been faking it from the very beginning.

She knew everything from beginning to end. She knew what Chen Xinyi had done to him, and she knew the relationships between everyone in this family. She just pretended not to see it.

Why?

The answer popped into my head.

Wei Yi finished the rest of the milk in one gulp.

No need to guess anymore.

He looked at the wall next door.

This is the answer.

He already knew this in his past life.

late at night.

On the king-size bed in the master bedroom.

Chen Xinyi lay on her pillow, flipping through the calendar on her phone. The light from the screen illuminated her face, a smile playing on her lips. She tapped a date and swiped back and forth twice.

That was in mid-July.

The specific date is July 18th.

Wei Yi came to the Chen family and was adopted by her. Well, actually, he was adopted by her parents.

But Chen Xinyi has always insisted that she was adopted by her.

"Siyan." She rolled over and showed her her phone to Lin Siyan. "See? There's still one month left."

Lin Siyan lay with her back to her, without turning around.

"What's wrong with a month?"

"We've officially known each other for seventeen years." Chen Xinyi's tone was brimming with barely suppressed excitement, like a child counting down the days until the New Year. "When that day comes, I'm going to just go for it. After raising him for so long, I can finally eat him! I'm so excited, what should I do?"

She didn't know, or perhaps she did know.

As she said these words, Lin Siyan's fingers gripped the corner of the blanket.

It was quite forceful.

"Aren't you afraid your brother won't like it? Maybe he really just sees you as his older sister." She tried to make her voice sound like she was teasing him.

"Impossible." Chen Xinyi rolled back over and lay face down, her head resting on the pillow. "He's been mine since he was little. From childhood to adulthood, I've put so much effort into him. I held his hand and led him to school when he was little, tutored him in junior high, and saved up his living expenses in high school. I even washed his underwear the first time he got dirty. I've been watching over everything he does."

"That's called raising children and raising husbands."

"Yes, my childhood sweetheart." Chen Xinyi smiled, a sweet and smug smile. "After raising him for seventeen years, he's finally ready to eat."

The phrase "ate" sounds so natural.

Lin Siyan did not respond.

Her eyes were open in the darkness, staring at the sliver of streetlight shining through the gap in the curtains.

There's something stuck in my chest, a sour and astringent feeling.

She likes Chen Xinyi.

From freshman year, from the first time they met in the dormitory hallway, from the first time Chen Xinyi smiled at her.

It's been several years.

She never said it aloud.

She simply stayed quietly by her side, helping her with the coffee shop's accounts, accompanying her to negotiate contracts for the beauty salon, cooking for her, and reminding her not to stay up late. There wasn't much she could do; she did what she could, one day at a time.

But this woman's eyes were always only on her younger brother.

My heart and eyes are filled with it.

They're all Wei Yi.

Lin Siyan felt a lump in her throat and quickly closed her eyes.

"Siyan, what do you think I should eat then?" Chen Xinyi rolled over again and rubbed her leg with her toes.

"Just tie yourself into a bow and send it over," Lin Siyan said, her voice tinged with amusement.

"Oh, that's too cliché. Let me think about it some more."

Chen Xinyi turned off her phone, wrapped herself in the blanket, and soon her breathing became even.

She always falls asleep incredibly fast; her head hits the pillow within three minutes.

This may also be the reason why she is so energetic, because she sleeps so well.

Lin Siyan listened to her even breathing.

in the dark.

She sighed softly.

It was very short.

The voice was kept very low.

So low that only she could hear it.
