Covering the Sky: Simultaneous transmigration, but both clones are women.

"Sister Xu Qiong."

Ye Chen smiled and walked over, sitting down on the sofa opposite her. "What brings you here?"

"Come see your aunt and uncle."

Xu Qiongli spoke meaningfully, and took out several boxes of pastries from the paper bag next to her, "This is the osmanthus cake I just learned to make, I brought it for you to try."

"Oh, you're here already, why did you bring anything?"

Liu Yun spoke politely, but her hand had already taken the pastry box. Upon opening it, her eyes lit up immediately. "This osmanthus cake is so exquisitely made, even better than what you buy outside!"

"I'm glad Auntie likes it."

Xu Qiong smiled, her eyes crinkling, and turned to look at Ye Chen. "By the way, Xiao Chen, where's your brother? I've been trying to call him but no one's answering."

Ye Chen thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

coming.

He knew that Xu Qiong's visit to his house was most likely for Ye Fan's sake.

"My brother..."

Ye Chen scratched his head, carefully choosing his words, "He went to a very far place and may not be back for a while."

"A very far place?"

Xu Qiong tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

"Well……"

Ye Chen opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

You can't exactly say his brother was taken to another planet by nine dragons, can you?

Liu Yun chimed in, "This child, he speaks so haltingly. Didn't Xiao Fan go to Mount Tai? How come it's suddenly a faraway place?"

"Mom, please don't ask anymore."

Ye Chen stood up and winked at Xu Qiong, "Sister Xu Qiong, come out for a moment, I need to talk to you about something!"

Xu Qiong glanced at him, and although she was a little puzzled, she still stood up.

The two walked out into the courtyard.

The sun was shining brightly, the roses in the flowerbed were in full bloom, and several bees were buzzing among the flowers.

Ye Chen leaned against a pillar in the porch, looked at Xu Qiong, and remained silent for a moment.

"Sister Xu Qiong,"

He spoke, his tone unusually serious, "Do you like my brother?"

Xu Qiong was stunned for a moment, then a faint blush rose on her face.

She turned her head away, looking at the roses in the flowerbed, her lips slightly pursed, and said nothing.

Silence is the best answer.

Ye Chen sighed.

"Sister Xu Qiong, to be honest with you, my brother might be gone for a very long time."

He carefully chose his words, trying to make his voice sound less heavy, "Not one or two years, not ten or eight years, but... a very, very long time."

Xu Qiong turned her head, and her eyes, which were always curved into crescents, now held something indescribable.

"Xiao Chen, what are you saying?"

"I mean, stop waiting for that jerk, my brother!"

Ye Chen said.

Xu Qiong was stunned.

Her eyes, which were always curved into crescents, were wide open at this moment as she stared at Ye Chen in disbelief, as if she had heard something utterly absurd.

"Xiao Chen, how could you say that about your brother?"

"My brother, don't let his serious appearance fool you, he's actually a womanizer at heart."

Ye Chen met her gaze and said, slowly and deliberately, "You have no idea, he likes many people, and more than one."

Xu Qiong frowned deeply.

"Ye Fan isn't that kind of person."

Her voice was calm, but her tone was quite firm. "I've known him for two years. I know very well what kind of person he is."

Ye Chen frowned, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.

He can't exactly say, "I've read the original novel, and Ye Fan had a bunch of female confidantes in the Beidou Star Region, including An Miaoyi, Ji Ziyue, Yao Xi, and Yan Ruyu, right?"

"Sister Xu Qiong, I still hope you can reconsider..."

"Unless Ye Fan tells me himself."

Xu Qiong interrupted him, her voice not loud, but like a nail driven into the ground, "Otherwise, I won't believe it!"

Ye Chen sighed.

Why is this girl so stubborn?

Just as he was about to say a few more words of advice, a voice suddenly came from outside the villa, lazy and with a hint of amusement.

"Young man, can I ask you about someone?"

Ye Chen suddenly turned his head.

There was another person outside the courtyard gate, I don't know when.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, wearing a gray-white robe, with his long hair casually tied back. He had a handsome face and a faint smile on his lips.

At first glance, they look like someone who stepped out of an ancient costume drama.

But his eyes are not right.

Those eyes were too bright, unnaturally bright, like two lanterns hanging in their sockets, with a faint glow flowing deep within their pupils, exuding an indescribable eeriness.

What made Ye Chen's heart stop even more was that this person was carrying another person in his hand.

A middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes closed, his face pale, hung motionless in the other man's hand, like a sparrow caught by an eagle.

Father Ye.

Ye Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

"dad!"

He instinctively took a step forward, but then abruptly stopped.

Don't act impulsively.

The other party can appear in the yard silently, can lift an adult as easily as a chick, and can approach without the other party noticing.

This kind of person is definitely not someone he can handle.

"Young man, don't be nervous."

The gray-robed man waved his hand with a smile, his tone as relaxed as if he were chatting casually, "Your father is just asleep, not a single hair is missing. I just wanted to ask you a few questions, I'll leave after I'm done, and I'll return the person to you."

Ye Chen took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions, and stared intently at the other person.

"What do you want to know?"

The gray-robed man tilted his head, his unusually bright eyes scrutinizing Ye Chen from head to toe, as if examining an interesting object.

"I heard that something strange happened at Mount Tai yesterday."

His voice was slow and leisurely, like a snake slithering through the grass, "Two brothers went up Mount Tai together, but one of them disappeared, while the other returned home safely."

He paused, then his smile deepened.

"Young man, do you know why?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Ye Chen's heart sank, but he remained calm and said in a flat tone, "I did go to Mount Tai with my brother yesterday, but we got separated, so I came back first."

"He might be lost in the mountains. I'm looking for him too!"

The man in the gray robe laughed.

The smile was beautiful, but Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

"Young man, you're not being honest."

The man in the gray robe shook his head, his grip on Ye's father's hand remaining firmly planted. "Mount Tai isn't that big. How far can you get lost? Besides, that commotion on the mountain, did you think it was an earthquake?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the glow in his pupils intensified, like two eerie will-o'-the-wisps.

"This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it since I was born."

"Nine dragons pulling a coffin... Wow, that's quite an eye-opener!"
