Chapter 264 will be introduced formally.

"Besides, how can you bear to curse yourself to death? Never mind, let's just tell the truth." Xin Nian waved her hand.

Xiao Jinzhi got off the ground and asked timidly, "Then... will they hit me?"

Xin Nian wanted to laugh, but she really didn't want to give this guy a friendly look, so she forcibly suppressed it.

"Hmph! Given your behavior these past few days, I reckon... you're most likely to get a beating!"

Xin Nian turned her head and met Xiao Jinzhi's expression, almost bursting out laughing.

The boy's usually gentle and refined face was now scrunched up in a frown.

His expressions were so vivid, perhaps more varied than all the expressions he had made in the previous decade or so combined…

"What should I do? I need to mentally prepare myself."

Xin Nian scoffed, "They're the ones who're scared. I don't think our Mianmian would ever imagine you're Little Fatty."

"Who? Who's Little Fatty?" Chang Mianmian poked her head in, looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression. "Oh, Your Highness, you're awake? That's perfect, come and have some dinner."

"Sis, what are you two talking about? Let's eat first, and we can talk about it after we finish eating."

"Mianmian, come here, come here." Xin Nian beckoned her little hand, and Chang Mianmian happily strolled in.

"Sis, what's wrong?"

Let me formally introduce myself!

Chang Mianmian looked at the Crown Prince standing to the side speechlessly, "What's there to introduce? We all know His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You may not know this, but His Highness the Crown Prince has another identity."

"What identity?" Chang Mianmian tensed up instantly.

No way, no way, no way? The captain is going to promote His Highness the Crown Prince to vice-captain?
This won't do! No one can bypass Chang Mianmian to become the vice-captain!
Xin Nian nudged the prince's arm. "Let me formally introduce you. This is Little Fatty! Our former teammate! Yes, it's him, the chubby guy with the shadow clone ability. Remember him? Let's get to know each other."

Xiao Jinzhi silently observed Chang Mianmian's tense expression, then suddenly froze in astonishment.

Lunch was served at three tables in the living room, and Xin Wenyuan sensed that the atmosphere during the meal was a bit strange.

Chang Mianmian, sitting opposite him, had a look of utter disbelief on her face. She would take a couple of bites and then stare at the Crown Prince beside him. Sometimes she would even forget to eat, and the rabbit meat would slip from her lips...

Could it be that Mianmian has taken a liking to the Crown Prince? The old father's heart tightened slightly, and he began to worry.

It's like one of the girls on his team is going to be taken by a pig! Did he even ask his daughter's opinion about this?

The old father was conflicted and secretly glanced at the crown prince.

The young man focused intently on picking at the rice grains, counting each one with his chopsticks as he ate, not touching a single bite of the vegetables.

"What's Xiao Xiao doing?" The old father looked puzzled. The atmosphere at dinner today was a bit off.

Xie Ninglan smiled and served Xiao Jinzhi some food, "Xiao Jinzhi, you've just gone through a difficult period of seclusion, eat more to nourish your body."

"Thank you, Aunt Lan."

"Mom, don't put it on his plate, he can eat it himself," Xin Nian said, rolling her eyes.

"You silly child." Xie Ninglan glanced at Xin Nian, then turned her head and spoke to Xiao Jinzhi across Old Xin, "Xiao Xiao, Aunt Lan doesn't know what you like to eat, so don't be shy, help yourself."

“Mother, you know,” Xin Nian spoke again, with a chilling laugh, “He likes braised beef, stir-fried spicy rabbit, and stir-fried cabbage with garlic. You used to make these dishes for him every few days.”

"Huh?" Xie Ninglan was completely bewildered. What nonsense was her little darling talking about? When had she ever cooked these dishes for His Highness the Crown Prince?
Xin Wenyuan was also somewhat at a loss for words, feeling both amused and exasperated.

The old father noticed that the young girl seemed to be having a conflict with the Crown Prince, so he coughed lightly to smooth things over, saying, "Let's eat, let's eat."

Xin Nian added, "I haven't formally introduced you yet."

"Who should I introduce?" Everyone at the table looked at her, completely bewildered.

This table is for my maternal grandparents, maternal uncle, aunt, and cousin. Does anyone need an introduction?

The old lady at the next table also looked at them with curiosity.

Xiao Jinzhi gripped the porcelain cup tightly, then suddenly stood up, startling Xin Wenyuan beside him.

"Uncle, Aunt Lan, I... I'd like to offer you a toast."

Xin Wenyuan hurriedly tried to stand up, but Xin Nian chimed in sarcastically, "Dad, sit down and don't bother! Let me introduce you to Xiao Xiao first, so you can get to know each other again. Xiao Xiao is the same person as the chubby guy with the ability to create clones."

Xin Wenyuan didn't react for a moment. After chewing on the word "fatty", he suddenly realized what it meant and stared at Xiao Jinzhi with wide eyes.

Xie Ninglan was extremely excited, "Fatty? Is it really Fatty?"

Everyone else was completely baffled, looking Prince Xiao up and down, finding it hard to associate the person before them with the word "fat"...

Xin Wenyuan was extremely anxious to know the details of the matter, but fortunately the dinner ended quickly, and he pulled Xiao Jinzhi back to the wooden building next door.

"What's going on?" Xin Wenyuan asked, his eyes filled with curiosity as he looked at his daughter who had followed him in.

Chang Mianmian followed behind Xin Mochen and Xin Mohan, casually closing the wooden door. "Sister said the Crown Prince is Little Fatty, so it must be him. You little rascal! Sneaking around in the group, not telling us the truth when you see we're worried."

Xiao Jinzhi secretly glanced at Xin Nian, then looked at Xie Ninglan with a wronged expression, "Aunt Lan, I didn't lie to you."

At that moment, he didn't care whether Xin Mohan had heard something he shouldn't have, and recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

Little Xin Mohan listened for a long time, only half understanding and quite confused, but still sat obediently on the sofa without saying a word.

He had known all along that his current parents, brother, and sister were quite eccentric, completely different from how they used to be. But so what? He genuinely liked them as they were now.

"If I don't understand, I'll just listen casually," Xin Mohan thought to himself. "Anyway, I would never go out and talk about family matters."

"So, you only got discovered by Nian Nian after you went into seclusion and gained the time projection ability, and that you went to the apocalypse as Little Fatty?"

“Sis saw Little Fatty’s projection, so it can’t be wrong.” Chang Mianmian pouted and raised her hand to slap him. “You little rascal, you haven’t been here for so long. We thought you were suffering in some mountain village! We didn’t expect you to become the crown prince.”

"Uncle Wenyuan, Aunt Lan, you must believe me. I definitely didn't mean to hide it. I really don't remember."

Xie Ninglan nodded, looking at him with affection, "Little Fatty, you've lost so much weight! Life here must be tough, right? Don't worry, Auntie will cook you delicious food every day from now on."

Xin Nian rolled her eyes at the sky.

Her mother came again. She used to love Little Fatty very much, saying that he was the team's lucky star, bringing good fortune wherever he went!
As long as you bring Xiao Pang along, you're unlikely to encounter any major danger.

Unfortunately, she now understands clearly. This guy is incredibly skilled at using time manipulation abilities.

It was a blatant covert operation, using foresight to secretly change everything.

"Aunt Lan, Niannian is angry with me..."

"Oh, it's alright. Niannian's anger comes on quickly and goes away even faster. Don't worry, she'll have a good nap this afternoon and the anger will be gone by dinner."

"Little Fatty, you're so skinny, Auntie will definitely make sure you get some good nutrition!"
