Volume 4 Chapter 10 Return to Old Residence

  The gate slowly opens, and in front of it is a vast expanse of open space. The lush green grass, the clean pool, the pavilions, the artificial hills, and the courtyards are all arranged in a harmonious and elegant manner, with a touch of modern architecture's freshness and rhythm. This is the familiar place from my dreams - the Yin Family Mansion.

  "Master, you're back!"

  "Hello, young master!"

  "What does Master want to eat tonight?"

  The servants were chatting and giggling among themselves, "Look, the young master has grown up, he's brought a girl home for the first time!"

  "Yes, yes, just bring one back and it's a lovely little beauty, tsk, tsk, young master is indeed extraordinary!"

  "Shh, keep your voice down, can't you see the little girl's face is all red!"

  "Shh, shh, quick! Pretend you didn't see!"

  The people from the Yin family... still the same, speaking without reserve, and saying such deliberately loud whispers! Xinyue felt both annoyed and amused, but her heart was extremely excited, looking at these familiar faces, although she didn't shout out loud, in her heart she silently asked them one by one: Zhang Auntie, Wang Aunty, Chen Uncle, Li Grandpa...

  As they entered the grand hall, little sister Yin Yue came out with excitement, warmly greeting them while standing respectfully beside her brother, her arms slightly raised, habitually waiting to help her brother take off his coat.

  "I'll come myself, Yin Yue, you quickly bring your sister to sit down."

  "Ah, okay, Xiang Yue jie jie sit here!" Yin Yue stretched out his chubby little hand and pulled Xiang Yue onto the sofa. He covered his mouth and giggled: "Hehe, sister finally got tricked into coming home by brother! I knew this day would come! You know? Brother sometimes even shouts your name in his sleep! Hahaha..."

  "You little devil, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qingchi glared with wide eyes, and Yin Yue immediately shut her mouth, nodding humbly as she secretly observed her brother's expression.

  Xīn Yuè couldn't help but laugh, she didn't believe that Qing Chi would call out "Xīn Yuè" in his sleep. He wasn't that self-absorbed, was he? Calling out his own name while asleep? However, the brother and sister's relationship now is really good, they bicker and joke around, without any awkwardness, a heartwarming scene. Compared to her past self, being "enslaved" by him one-sidedly... it's much better now. Could it be that if she weren't here, her family would actually live better? Thinking of this, Xīn Yuè couldn't help but feel a little sad.

  "Isn't this Qingchi's secretly-admired little beauty? Haha, finally deceived by that kid, huh?"

  Only then did Mr. Yin come down from the second floor with a big laugh, and it was indeed a family affair, as both he and his son used the word "deceived" to describe bringing a girl home.

  "Dad..." Suddenly realizing her situation, Xiang Yue quickly covered her small mouth, excited to the point of tears welling up in her eyes, but managed to hold them back without letting them fall.

  Mr. Yin sat down beside Xinyue, gently patting the little beauty's cheek. This soft and gentle doll-like young girl actually had memories of her own childhood, their hearts connected, their fates intertwined. In a certain sense, she was also his own daughter! Mr. Yin couldn't help but feel a deep sense of happiness, wanting to hold her warmly in his arms and dote on her for a while...

  Looking at the wrinkles on her father's forehead and a few strands of silver hair growing quietly, Xiangyue's eyes became blurry, and a faint mist rose, making those beautiful eyes even more watery.

  "Ah, indeed a stunning beauty! Come, come, let Auntie take a good look!" The father-son affection didn't last for even a minute before Mrs. Yin eagerly jumped out ahead of time.

  There's an old saying that goes, "You can't have a father who is an emperor, but you can't lose the mother of a beggar." Many days and nights, many times waking up from nightmares, standing alone by the window gazing at the moon, savoring the taste of loneliness. That person who has been thinking of me day and night, Mother, I've finally seen you again!

  Joy and sorrow intertwined, tears of happiness gushed out, and for a moment, nothing else mattered. The little beauty cried with tears streaming down her face, opening her arms to rush into her mother's embrace, while repeatedly shouting: "Mom, mom, mom..."

  Mrs. Yin gently patted the girl in her arms, stroking her small face and caressing her long hair, the warm scene bringing tears to the eyes of those around them.

  Qingchi watched all of this, feeling unexpectedly calm in her heart, yet also a faint sense of sorrow. Everyone present knew the truth, except for Xiangyue who was still in the dark. Qingchi wavered once again, but if she were to tell Xiangyue the truth, would that really be good for her? Or would it trigger another crisis?

  In Qingchi's bedroom, three children sat around the bed, playing happily. Yinmu sat on the edge of the bed, gently combing Xinyue's hair. Actually, before giving birth to Qingchi, she had wanted a daughter, but unfortunately, it was a boy. So Yinmu was not reconciled and fortunately got a daughter in her second pregnancy. If not, she would have insisted on continuing to contribute to the country...

  Why is it good to raise a daughter? One, she eats less and saves food; two, she's not naughty or troublesome, easier to raise; three, she doesn't run around wildly, can stay at home with you for long periods of time; four, most importantly, she's gentle and obedient, listens and understands, and can be dressed up like a doll, try out new hairstyles, change into different outfits...

  Yin is too small, and there are not many options for dressing her up. Moreover, this little girl is very stubborn, where can you find one as obedient as the one in front of you? She sits quietly, not moving at all, letting you play with her and touch her, it's really delightful!

  Having the memory of a son, but unexpectedly being a beautiful and delicate little girl, Mother Yin liked her as soon as she saw her and immediately wanted to adopt her as a goddaughter. Later, she would dote on her with great fanfare, playing with her whenever she had nothing better to do, hahaha...

  It's not bad to be a goddaughter if you can't be a biological child. However, Qingyue hesitated and didn't respond because she was afraid that if the truth came out, Qingchi would be unhappy in the Yin family. So, she looked at Qingchi with questioning eyes, but saw him nodding silently in agreement.

  It seemed accidental, but everything was carefully planned by the Yin family and naturally came true. Xinyue finally returned to her father and mother's side in a logical and reasonable manner, although it was under the name of adopted daughter, which was no different from Qingchi.

  "Four Aces!" Yin Yue said with a pleased expression: "You all don't have it, right? One to two, I still have one card left!"

  "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back," Qingchi scratched his head and asked with embarrassment, "Xinyue, can you control yourself?"

  "Hmm, let me think," Xīnyuè looked at the cards in her hand, biting her finger as she thought, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah!"

  "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I hurt my daughter!" Mrs. Yin said apologetically, and then gently combed through her shiny black hair with a wooden comb, deeply afraid of hurting her precious darling again.

  "Hmm, it's okay, doesn't hurt!" Xinyue pouted, the wound had already healed and she'd forgotten about the pain, and she fully immersed herself in the battle scene. "Haha, Yin Yue, I have a bomb! Didn't expect that, did you? 4-7!"

  "Kids, it's time for snacks!" Because of Xinyue's visit, Mr. Yin took a half-day off and willingly became the server, "Delicious creamy fruit cake, who comes first gets to choose first!"

  Yin Yue had already rushed off and spent half a day carefully selecting before finally picking up the largest one.

  "Come, Xinyue, have some." Mrs. Yin gently handed over the cake, while Mr. Yin held a cup of milk and smiled as he waited beside her.

  "I want what my sister has! There are so many fruits!" Yin Yue made a big fuss, looking at this and then that, but was never satisfied.

  "How can that be? You were the one who chose it yourself!" Mr. Yin said fairly.

  "It's her, it's her! Don't give it to her!" Qingchi also stood up and spoke.

  "Hehe, it's okay, let my sister choose, they're all the same to me." Xinyue said with a smile as she proactively handed over the cake.

  As soon as she said this, Yin Yue felt a bit embarrassed. She saw her smile slightly red, turned her head away, pouted, and whispered: "Forget it, forget it, I'll just stick with the bigger one!"

  This spoiled little princess really only responds to softness and not firmness! The whole family suddenly burst out laughing. But thinking about it again, I feel that something is off, how did Qing Chi tame her in the past? This little thing can actually be tamed with both softness and firmness, haha!

  Little hands grasped the cake, and Xiangyue felt a warm current surging in her heart. This scene seemed familiar, as if it had just happened yesterday. Those wonderful and warm memories were still vivid in her mind.

  Tears flowed again, hot and round, quietly rolling down the smooth cheeks.

  "Really, Yinyin didn't even take your cake, why are you crying? You're indeed a crybaby!" Qingchi smiled and wiped away the tears on Xiangyue's face with his hand, and also gently scratched her small nose.

  "Slap!" Mrs. Yin slapped away the evil hand, and leaned in closer to Xiangyue's side, speaking in a soothing tone as if coaxing a child: "Your sister's face is not something you can mess with!"

  Smelling the fragrance of mother, leaning against that warm bosom, Xiang Yue couldn't help but sigh, this kind of long-lost feeling of being taken care of is so good, I really want to live like this forever!

  "Ding, ding, ding" The phone rang, and Yin Yue quickly ran up.

  "Ah? Is it Xiangyue's sister?"

  Qingchi took a step forward, grabbed the receiver and said: "Enqi sister, hello! I'm Qingchi. Xinyue is playing at my place, sorry to make you worry!"

  "Hehe, nothing much! She's mine, you know. If you want to take her out to play in the future, you have to ask me first, got it? Hehehe." En Qi replied with a smile.

  Lend it to me? Cold.... It seems that this elder sister has already treated her younger sister as a private pet.

  At this time, Yin's father walked over and took the receiver from Qingchi's hand. He wanted to chat with his sister for a few words, but heard that the other party had already started talking loudly:

  "By the way, how far have you and my sister progressed? Hehehe..." Enqi asked with a sly smile.

  Yin's father was speechless...

  "You must have signed it, right? Have you kissed?" Poor En Qi thought it was still Qing Chi holding the receiver, and he didn't know whether to advance or retreat as he spoke more and more boldly.

  "Haha, silence means consent! So, have you... Oh my god, be honest with me, have you seen them all? Touched them? Or even..."

  Large beads of sweat rolled down from the corners of Mr. Yin's forehead, he coughed dryly twice and said: "My son and Xinyue are innocent good friends, their relationship should be clean and pure, on this point, as a father, I can guarantee!"

  "What? You're Qingchi's father?" Enqi was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat, and for the first time, she showed fear. "Sorry, sorry! I thought it was Qingchi answering the phone, please forgive me!"

  Because the phone's volume was turned up quite loud, both of their conversations were heard clearly from start to finish. By the time they got halfway through, Xiangyue and Qingchi had already blushed bright red. But later on, when they heard that arrogant sister repeatedly apologizing, thinking about her pale face at the same time, the two couldn't help but exchange a glance before bursting into loud laughter.

  "Hmm, haha, children's words are innocent, aren't they? Oh right, Xiang Yue's sister, your name is Xia En Qi, isn't it?"

  "Yes, Uncle Yin." En Qi's speech had become polite and courteous.

  "May I borrow your sister? She's having dinner at my place tonight and I'll send her back afterwards, is that okay?"

  "Oh, no problem, go ahead and borrow it, oh, no, not that, just use it well then. Ah, still not right! Anyway, I'm at ease leaving my sister with you, hope she has fun playing with Qingchi!"

  "Hehe, okay, thank you, I'll send her back perfectly fine, I guarantee it with my honor!"

  Xin Yue listened to the conversation between the two, and a warm feeling surged up in her heart. Suddenly, something hot was lightly pressed into her small hand. She turned her head to see Qing Chi smiling at her, his eyes shining with amusement. A sturdy arm had secretly reached out from behind Yu Mu's back and quietly grasped her small hand in its palm.

  Whatever you want, Xinyue smiled brightly, but in her heart, there was a strange feeling that something important had changed, what exactly was it...

  Under the yellow streetlights, boys and girls walk hand in hand.

  Qingchi's face is getting thicker and thicker, as long as there is no one around, or temporarily no one, he will definitely seize the opportunity to hold Xinyue's hand in his palm. That soft and tender feeling is really comfortable! Qingchi is a bit addicted, even if the weather is hot again, both hands are full of sweat, he still refuses to let go.

  Actually, Xinyue also started to like this feeling, hand in hand, the distance between their hearts was getting closer and closer, it's just that occasionally she would still feel a bit of an unusual feeling, but couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly wasn't right.

  Unconsciously, they had already arrived at Xia's doorstep. Both of them felt a kind of bewildered sense of loss - how did they get home so quickly?

  Want to continue walking for a while longer, but also don't know how to bring it up...

  "Have you arrived?" Qingchi asked.

  "Ah, I'm here." Xinyue replied.

  The two fell silent again...

  As they gazed into each other's eyes, a flashing electric signal was transmitted, and both of them quickly looked away.

  Silence...

  "Xīnyuè, are you still thinking of going back?" Qingchi suddenly asked.

  Xīn yuè yóu zhù piān kè, cái dī zhe tóu, dǐ qì bù zú de xiǎo shēng dá duō: "ńg...".

  "Do you really want to go back? Why?"

  Qingchi persisted in asking, and Xiangyue blinked her eyes, looking at Qingchi, finally saying what was on her mind: "Actually, I don't really want to go back either. As long as we're together, who's Qingchi and who's Xiangyue doesn't seem to matter anymore..."

  Looking at the little beauty in front of him, she was looking at herself with a pure expression, her small face filled with happiness and a blush of shyness, Qing Chi felt a bit drunk, his handsome face slightly leaning forward.

  Is that... a kiss?

  Xīn yuè dà qì dōu bù gǎn chū, měi lì de yǎn jing jiàn jiàn bì shàng le, zhǐ gǎn jué dào qīng chí de qì xī yuè lái yuè jìn...

  It seems like they're all rubbing against his nose...

  Qingchi also felt the soft and delicate breathing of Xiaomei, like the fragrance of orchids, and his heart surged with a strong and turbulent flow of blood.

  Then...

  "Xīnyuè, you're back! Ah!? Sorry sorry, when I didn't see you, continue!" At the critical moment, ēnqí sister appeared, scaring a young couple into a flurry of activity...

  "Ah... that... Enqi sister, I'll leave Xinyue to you, I... I'm leaving first!" Qingchi covered her still wildly racing heart and hurriedly ran away.

  "What's with that expression? Haha, is it because Big Sis appeared at a bad time?"
