The younger sister mistakenly identified her brother when visiting relatives and was kissed by the c

"Little sister! My little sister!"

Startled by the sudden movement, Qiao Xinxin, who was still dazed, instantly woke up!

She looked down at Bai Zhengyuan, who was holding her high in the air in his military uniform. Seeing the intense familial love in his eyes, her nose suddenly tingled, her eyes instantly reddened, and she almost burst into tears.

"Brother? Is it really you?" She instinctively gripped Bai Zhengyuan's clothes on his shoulders, her voice trembling with disbelief.

"Hey, it's me! It really is me! Your brother is back!" Bai Zhengyuan looked up at his sister's pretty but thin face and shouted happily, tears glistening in his eyes.

Bai Zhengyuan carefully put his sister back on the ground and saw her staring at him with teary eyes.

"Brother, you've grown taller and stronger... You're so dark and tall, like an iron tower. I almost didn't recognize you when you walked down the street."

Qiao Xinxin sniffed. She didn't know why, even though she was a transmigrator, the moment she saw this man, her heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and an extremely strong urge to burst into tears rushed straight to the top of her head!

Perhaps it was the lingering strong emotions of the original owner at work, but at this moment, the images of two little people, one big and one small, kept and frantically appearing in her mind.

That was the original owner of the body and his older brother Bai Zhengyuan when he was a child.

At that time, my family was dirt poor.

When the original owner was bullied and pelted with mud by other wild children in the village, it was her equally thin older brother, who looked like a little wolf cub, who stood firmly in front of her and shielded her from all the punches and kicks.

When she went to the mountains to collect firewood and couldn't walk anymore, her feet were blistered and raw. It was her brother who bent down and carried her home step by step, sweating profusely, with his not-so-broad back.

Later, she was admitted to high school, but her family couldn't afford the tuition. Just when she was about to drop out, it was her older brother, who had already joined the army, who sent her all of his meager monthly allowance without fail, supporting her to finish high school...

These memories, like surging waves, instantly overwhelmed Qiao Xinxin.

Large tears blurred her vision. She forcefully raised the back of her hand to wipe away the tears, and gave Bai Zhengyuan an incredibly bright and affectionate smile:

"Brother, it's so good to have you back."

"Yes! My brother's back!"

Looking at his younger sister's sensible yet aggrieved smile, Bai Zhengyuan felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.

He reached out his rough, calloused hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his voice firm and resolute: "Don't worry, now that I'm back, I'll never let anyone bully you again! Anyone who dares to lay a finger on you, I'll risk my life to make them pay!"

To ease the tense atmosphere, he took Qiao Xinxin's hand and spun her around several times, looking her up and down. Then he laughed with satisfaction, "You've grown up! Our Xinxin has really become a young lady! Do you remember when I left home to join the army? You were such a little bean, you weren't even as tall as my waist!"

"No way!" Qiao Xinxin immediately objected.

Her face fell, and she pouted her rosy lips in dissatisfaction, protesting coquettishly, "You're mistaken! I was already ten years old when you left, I wasn't that short! At least... at least I reached your chest!"

The little girl's adorable and protective manner instantly made Bai Zhengyuan burst into laughter, and even the elderly couple wiping away tears next to them couldn't help but laugh along.

Bai Zhengyuan stretched out his large, warm hand and affectionately ruffled her fluffy head, praising her softly, "Alright, alright, I must have misremembered. Our Xinxin has not only grown up, but she's also become more and more beautiful. She's the prettiest girl in the compound!"

"Of course!" Qiao Xinxin proudly raised her delicate chin high, like a proud little swan, her heart bubbling with joy.

Absolutely! She looks absolutely gorgeous right now, you could practically squeeze water out of her.

Once you step out onto the street, the number of people turning their heads to look at you will be absolutely staggering!

Although this body inherited the genes of the biased couple Qiao Shouguo and Qin Fangfang, and although the couple's character was rotten to the core and they did all sorts of inhuman and sordid things, to be fair, their appearance was indeed impeccable.

In addition, after she transmigrated into the book, she secretly drank the spiritual spring water in the space every day without fail to nourish herself.

Now, her little face has fair and rosy skin, like a peeled boiled egg, delicate and smooth.

Her almond-shaped eyes were as clear as autumn water; to describe her as "naturally beautiful" would be no exaggeration.

Looking at his younger sister's vain yet charmingly naive appearance, Bai Zhengyuan let out a low, hearty laugh, and his tense nerves from the past few days completely relaxed at this moment.

He turned to his parents, who were still wiping away tears, and his usually stern face softened unexpectedly: "Dad, Mom, look, our Xinxin has grown up, become sensible, and grown into such a beautiful young woman. After ten years of hardship, our family is finally together again today!"

"Yes, yes!" Mother Bai nodded repeatedly, wiping away her tears with her rough hands, her eyes filled with boundless love and joy. "We're finally reunited! Seeing you two siblings safe and sound, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted from my heart, I'm completely at ease!"

Bai's father stood to the side, though he was not good with words and did not speak up, but his brows, which had been etched by the hardships of life and were always tightly furrowed, were now completely relaxed, and his weathered eyes revealed a deep sense of relief and peace.

The family of four decided not to sleep and went to sit on the old, faded cloth sofa in the living room.

It was late at night, and the summer insects outside the window were chirping merrily. The dim light inside the house shone on the faces of the family, and no one felt sleepy at all; they were filled with the excitement of a long-awaited reunion.

Bai Zhengyuan held Qiao Xinxin's soft little hand tightly, carefully examining her from head to toe several times to make sure that his sister had no visible injuries before he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

But when he thought of the suffering she endured in the cannibalistic Qiao family during the years he was unable to protect her, Bai Zhengyuan's eyes instantly turned as cold and sharp as a knife!

"Xin Xin, I already know about all the grievances and hardships you suffered in the Qiao family."

Bai Zhengyuan gritted his teeth, veins throbbing on his forehead, his voice filled with undisguised murderous intent: "Don't worry, I'll remember this blood debt, one by one! Anyone who dares to bully my sister, I'll make sure they pay for it with interest, whenever I get the chance! I'll make sure the Qiao family gets their comeuppance!"

Hearing her elder brother's domineering and protective words, Qiao Xinxin felt a warmth in her heart, but she smiled and shook her head.

"Brother, I don't need you to seek justice for me." She grasped Bai Zhengyuan's calloused hand, her voice soft yet clear-headed. "The Qiao family is nothing but a pile of stinking mud. It's not worth getting our hands dirty for them! Now that I'm out of that hellhole, I just want our family to be together and live a good life. The further away from those rotten people and those rotten things, the better. Ideally, we should never have anything to do with them again in this lifetime!"
