"Mom, why are there so many people at home?"

This side of Zhichun East Lane.

Chen Xinyi spoke first.

"Your eldest uncle and younger uncle's families are visiting today. They just wanted to ask if you're coming back for the National Day holiday." Li Hongjuan turned her phone around, the camera panning across the room of people.

The three Chen brothers, with Chen Kaide being the second oldest, have always maintained a close relationship.

The eldest brother, Chen Kaijun, and the third brother, Chen Kaiwen, often visit each other during holidays.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever treated Wei Yi as an outsider.

Uncle Chen Kaijun sat in the middle of the sofa and waved to the camera: "Yi-zai! Xin-yi! Are you coming home for National Day? Your older brother said he hasn't seen you in a long time."

Wei Yi smiled and called out, "Uncle."

In the corner of the scene, the eldest cousin, Chen Zhiyuan, was playing with his youngest daughter. Hearing that he was in the news, she turned around and gave him a thumbs up: "Yi-zai, I heard you're starting a business in Yanjing? That's awesome! When are you going to help us get rich?"

"That's nonsense, boss. Don't listen to their bragging. I'm more envious of you. My dad says you're almost promoted to deputy director!"

"Ah Yi, don't say that. If you keep talking, your brother's getting cocky!" His sister-in-law chimed in, chuckling.

My older cousin, Chen Zhiyuan, works at a township police station in the county seat. He's thirty-five years old this year.

However, the main reason he was able to become the deputy director at the end of this year was not because he had an uncle who was the director in the county.

Instead, he married the daughter of a retired bigwig in the county, who was also Wei Yi's cousin-in-law.

There's nothing we can do about it; the Chen family has great genes.

The couple is handsome and beautiful, and they come from good families.

In the local area, he could barely be considered a Brahmin in the county town.

At this moment, Uncle Chen Kaiwen leaned over, his eyes behind his glasses crinkling into slits with laughter:

"Xinyi, when did you open your bubble tea shop in our area? Your cousin keeps asking for it."

"Uncle, just wait, it'll open next year," Chen Xinyi replied with a smile.

My cousin Chen Siqi was playing video games in the corner. Without looking up, he called out "Sister" and then "Brother".

Both names are as short as keyboard shortcuts, but both are used, and neither is omitted.

As Wei Yi watched the lively scene on the camera, his mind flashed back to his past life.

The Chen family never treated him differently because he was an adopted son.

His uncle and aunt gave him the same amount of New Year's money as Chen Xinyi, and his cousins ​​never missed giving him anything when they brought gifts for holidays.

His mother, Li Hongjuan, and father, Chen Kaide, treated him like their own son.

Sometimes Chen Xinyi even complained that her mother treated her younger brother better than she treated her.

Li Hongjuan turned the camera back to you: "I'm asking you, are you coming back for National Day?"

Chen Xinyi looked at Wei Yi.

Wei Yi thought for a moment.

He didn't go back home for National Day in his past life.

Because it wouldn't make a difference if I went back. My father, Chen Kaide, is extremely busy at the police station, and my mother, Li Hongjuan, is on duty at the hospital. One of them is the director of the police station, and the other is the head nurse. They are even busier on holidays than usual, so I wouldn't see them even if I went back.

"Let's not go back. Dad will definitely be on duty at the police station during the National Day holiday, and Mom, you'll be on shift at the hospital. You won't have time to spend with us even if we go back."

"Do we still need you to accompany us?"

Li Hongjuan's eyes widened, then she smiled. "That's true, your dad really can't get away during the National Day holiday. How about this, after we're done with this busy period, your dad and I will take leave and come to Yanjing to see you. Your sister said you're renting a place outside the school now?"

Before Wei Yi could answer, a small head with pigtails popped out from under Li Hongjuan's arm, perched on the sofa armrest, and gave the camera a big smile.

"Brother! Sister!"

Chen Xintong.

Chen Kaiwen's eldest daughter is thirteen years old and is in the first year of junior high school.

The little girl looks quite similar to Chen Xinyi, with an oval face, big eyes, deep double eyelids, and a small mole at the corner of her mouth when she smiles.

Her pigtails were tied with two pink bows. They hadn't fully grown yet, but her natural beauty was already undeniable.

Chen Xinyi smiled broadly when she saw her: "Tongtong! You're here too! Did you miss your sister?"

"I've been wanting to!" Chen Xintong's voice was crisp and sweet, carrying the innocence unique to a thirteen-year-old girl. "Sister, you're so beautiful! Even more beautiful than before! And brother has become more handsome too!"

"Tongtong has such a sweet tongue," Chen Xinyi said, beaming from ear to ear. "Does she want another present?"

"No, that's not true! I'm genuinely praising you!" the little girl pouted.

Looking at that innocent smiling face through the screen, Wei Yi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

The chill ran from the back of my neck all the way down to my tailbone, coming without warning.

In my past life.

Chen Xintong is also one of the Five Tigers.

This is a little girl who is only thirteen years old this year, with a sweet smile and pigtails.

Twelve years later, one night, he will be sitting on the sofa in his living room with four other women.

Chen Xinyi crossed her legs and announced the evening's arrangements with a smile.

He stood in the entryway, not even changing his shoes.

When he died suddenly, it was on his body.

It's her.

"Brother, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Chen Xintong tilted her head, her big eyes filled with confusion, looking completely innocent and naive.

"No...it's nothing." Wei Yi forced a smile. "How's Tongtong's studying lately?"

"Third in the grade! I was just one point away from a perfect score in math! Dad said if I get first place in the grade on the final exam, he'll take me to Beijing to visit you guys!"

"Good luck on your exam. If you do well, I'll give you a cell phone."

"Really? What brand? I want an Apple! There's a girl in my class whose dad bought her an iPhone 5s, and she brags about it to everyone in class every day!" Chen Xintong was so excited that her pigtails were shaking, and her eyes were shining.

"Tongtong! Don't ask your brother for anything!" Aunt's voice came from off-screen.

"My brother said he wanted to give it to me! I didn't ask him for it!" Chen Xintong shouted off-screen, then turned back and gave the camera a victory sign.

Chen Xinyi, standing next to her, was already making plans with her: "If you do well on your exams, not only will you get a cell phone, but I'll also take you to eat at all the best places in Yanjing. Guijie crayfish, Houhai snacks, and my own milk tea shop—you can drink as much as you want."

"Sister, you're so great! Sister, I like you so much!" Chen Xintong kissed the screen and made a loud "muma" sound effect.

Wei Yi looked at that innocent, smiling face.

He thought of Chen Xintong from his past life, who came to Yanjing to attend university and couldn't wait to come to Yanjing to find him and Chen Xinyi as soon as her college application was released.

Chen Xinyi was pregnant with her second child at the time, and her belly was very big, making it inconvenient for her to travel.

So he was asked to pick her up from the airport. The uncle trusted his cousin and Chen Xinyi completely.

She didn't come along at all; she only sent her daughter alone.

Beijing Capital International Airport.

He picked her up in the waiting area, and she rushed up to him and hung around his neck, laughing and saying, "Brother, I finally got into Peking University!"

By then, she had grown into a young woman, her pigtails had become long, flowing hair, but the mole on the corner of her mouth was still there when she smiled, and her sweet and charming appearance was still there.

Just like a smaller, younger version of Chen Xinyi.

Everything that followed started with his sister's words, "Tongtong, I'm not feeling well right now. Can you help me?"

Chen Xintong blushed and nodded after only a few seconds of hesitation.

"Brother, are you going to say yes or no?!"

The little girl on the screen urged him on, her voice still that sweet, childlike tone.

Wei Yi snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "I promise. I'll buy it for you if you do well on your exam."

"Yay!" Chen Xintong jumped up and down on the sofa with joy.

The pink ribbons on her pigtails fluttered up and down in the camera lens.

Looking at this scene.

Looking at Chen Xinyi's smiling face beside him.

Wei Yi couldn't help but wonder if his older sister was at this moment.

They had been trying to get Tongtong's attention even earlier.

Damn it.

Beast!

So, it's not just my sister and Sister Lin who are sick.

Lao Tzu was also sick.
