A skin-thirsty episode occurred, in her brother's arms.

Xu Xingchen had a lot of dreams all night and didn't sleep well. He opened the door looking listless.

Qin Ge was leaning against the doorway when he heard the noise and immediately opened his eyes to look over.

The moment he saw Xu Xingchen, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Star."

Next, they cautiously approached and handed Xu Xingchen a laminated note.

The paper strip is yellowed, indicating that it has been around for some time.

A few words were written on it in a childish hand.

"Reconciliation Coupon. With this coupon, Xu Xingchen can unconditionally forgive Qin Ge once."

Qin Ge: "I request to use the reconciliation coupon."

Xu Xingchen looked at the note, and his memory was instantly pulled back to elementary school.

Xu Xingchen, who was anxious about his height, was depressed all day long, and Qin Ge took him everywhere to find doctors.

The doctors all said it's normal, and that I'll grow taller in a while.

But looking at Qin Ge, who was almost two heads taller than him, he was still sullen.

Qin Ge bought all the legendary things in the world that could make you grow taller and filled the whole room with them.

He even went to a shady clinic to have part of his leg amputated so that he would be about the same height as Xingxing.

If Xu Xingchen hadn't noticed something was wrong and gone to investigate, that shady clinic that had received the exorbitant price from Qin Ge would have actually targeted Qin Ge.

That was the first time he and Qin Ge had a fight.

Xu Xingchen gave Qin Ge a severe scolding.

Qin Ge moved closer to Xu Xingchen little by little, saying, "I just want to make you a little happier."

Xu Xingchen was furious. Her face turned bright red with anger. "If you keep acting like this, I'll never be happy for the rest of my life, and I'll never speak to you again!"

Qin Ge panicked and grabbed Xu Xingchen's hand. "It's just a shrunk-slimming surgery, it's very simple, nothing will go wrong. I won't do it, Xingchen, don't be angry."

"Are you brain-dead? You believe everything they say?"

Qin Ge held Xu Xingchen's hand without saying a word, letting him curse.

Xingxing scolded him because she cared about him; otherwise, why would she scold him and not others?

As she thought about it, she imagined things to be perfect for Qin Ge and burst out laughing.

Xu Xingchen, "How much money did you give him?"

The doctor at the illegal clinic has been arrested.

At that time, Qin Ge was still young, and his only source of income was pocket money given to him by his mother and grandfather, most of which he used to buy things for Xu Xingchen.

He stammered, "A hundred thousand, maybe."

Xu Xingchen was just young, not stupid. "How much exactly?"

Qin Ge, "...two million."

No wonder that doctor listened to a child and did such a heartless thing.

Xu Xingchen reported the incident to the police, got his money back, and then barely spoke to Qin Ge for several days.

Qin Ge followed him around all day, even more clingy than a sticky mouse trap.

When it was almost time, he finally addressed Qin Ge with a serious expression.

"You know you were wrong? You promise you'll never do it again?"

Qin Ge nodded repeatedly, "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, Xingxing, please forgive me this time."

Xu Xingchen, "You promise."

Qin Ge: "I promise I will never make Xingxing angry again."

Xu Xingchen: "Not this sentence."

Qin Ge started stammering again, changing the subject.

Xu Xingchen was furious. "You're still thinking about this?"

Qin Ge: "I told you, I wasn't lying to you."

"I've thought about it seriously. If you're still this tall when you grow up, then I'll stay with you. We'll be a pair of dwarfs and be together forever."

Little Xu Xingchen was extremely angry, but after his anger subsided, he also felt a little secret joy.

He secretly wrote this reconciliation pledge and slipped it into Qin Ge's schoolbag.

This was the first time in so many years that Qin Ge had taken out this coupon.

"Baby, your brother was really wrong."

Qin Ge, who hadn't slept all night, looked a bit haggard. He came to make peace with a sincere heart, being very cautious, which was completely unlike his usual self.

Xu Xingchen was truly exhausted. He couldn't move forward or backward. Every time, he told himself to guard his heart and never cross the line again.

But Qin Ge.

Qin Ge could easily make him make an exception.

Xu Xingchen was caught in a whirlpool; he couldn't struggle and couldn't find a way to break free.

He opened his mouth, "Qin Ge, we..."

That's settled then.

We'll be apart for a while.

Perhaps it's because they've been together since they were little.

Perhaps it is because they have always only had each other in their lives that they have come to this point.

Qin Ge couldn't accept it all, and he couldn't control his own heart.

And the illness is escalating rapidly.

He didn't want to reach the point where he and Qin Ge would grow to hate each other.

He was really exhausted.

Xu Xingchen opened his mouth several times, but couldn't say anything after that.

He really didn't know how to start the conversation.

Qin Ge's smile faded as he stared intently at Xu Xingchen, waiting for him to finish his sentence.

The atmosphere froze.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Qin Ge carefully put away the reconciliation coupon and turned around almost impatiently, "I'll go open the door."

A beautiful, dazzling woman stood at the door.

Qin Ge saw her and immediately opened the door.

The woman hugged Qin Ge tightly, "My darling."

Qin Ge dodged away, somewhat disgusted.

Of course, she only hugged Qin Ge for a moment before letting go and then lunging at Xu Xingchen.

"Xingzai, Mommy's baby, let Mommy see if you've lost weight lately."

"Oh my goodness, your dark circles are so bad! And you've lost so much weight."

Did Qin Ge bully you?

Xu Xingchen, "Aunt Ci, when did you get back?"

Yun Ci, "I just arrived. The house you bought is in such a remote area. I searched for it for quite a while, but it is indeed close to the school."

There was another knock on the door.

Yun Ci then slapped her forehead, "My boyfriend is still outside, Yi Yi, open the door and let him in."

Qin Ge: "I'm already twenty-one, not one year old."

This title sounds really awkward.

Yun Ci waved dismissively, "Okay."

Qin Ge opened the door, and standing outside was a handsome guy who looked about the same age as them.

He hadn't seen him before; it wasn't the same one as last time.

He was carrying several bags and packages. "Xiao Ge, right? Nice to meet you. My name is Zhang Xin'en, and I'm your mother's boyfriend."

Qin Ge didn't say anything and let him in.

Zhang Xin'en carried a bunch of things into the room and then gave Xu Xingchen the same self-introduction.

Xu Xingchen, "...Hello."

Zhang Xin'en was incredibly outgoing and had already taken the initiative to wash the fruit for them.

Xu Xingchen felt a little embarrassed and asked him to sit down and rest.

Zhang Xin'en smiled broadly, "No need, no need, I can do it. This is the first time I've met Cici's family, I'm here to make a good impression, please give me this opportunity."

Qin Ge, "Where did you get this from?"

Yun Ci rolled her eyes. "Can't you speak properly? Isn't it obvious that he fell in love with me at first sight and has been pestering me relentlessly? I feel sorry for him, so I'm giving him a chance."

If anyone else had said that, it would have drawn a lot of ridicule, but the person speaking now is Yun Ci.

Yun Ci, Asia's most beautiful CEO.

Time has been exceptionally kind to her; when she stands with Xu Xingchen and Qin Ge, she looks no different from other people her age.

Her beauty is striking, and her life story is legendary; she has countless fans both at home and abroad.

Qin Ge's appearance is largely inherited from Yun Ci. The two have different styles, but both are beautiful in a way that is aggressive.

When Qin Ge first appeared in a swimming competition, he gained a lot of attention because of his face and his identity as Yun Ci's son.

Zhang Xin'en was so eager to show off that he cooked a huge meal in two hours.

Once everyone is seated, the formal introduction begins.

"Since we're meeting for the first time, I'd like to properly introduce myself to Ci Ci's family. I am Zhang Xin'en, 26 years old, and currently the actual controlling shareholder of Huadong Technology and HK."

Huadong Technology is a well-known name. It's a rapidly emerging company that has gained momentum in recent years. I've heard it also has significant overseas background, but no one has uncovered that yet.

Hong Kong is a long-established overseas company with many subsidiaries.

These two completely unrelated companies actually have the same CEO.

"I met Cici on a rainy day, and she..."

Yun Ci interrupted him, "Alright, we don't need to talk about these things anymore."

She had heard it countless times.

"Okay, I'll say goodbye."

At the dinner table, he and Yun Ci were incredibly affectionate.

In contrast, Xu Xingchen and Qin Ge remained silent, staring at the food in front of them as they ate.

Occasionally, Qin Ge would pick up some food for Xu Xingchen, and Xu Xingchen would say thank you.

Qin Ge's face was so pale it looked like it was about to drip water.

Yun Ci isn't stupid. She knows better than anyone how these two kids usually get along. Something's going on here.

She glanced at Xu Xingchen, then at Qin Ge.

The problem still lies with the stars, but why?

Yun Ci propped her head up with one hand, thinking that it couldn't be that Xingxing's feelings for Qin Ge had been discovered.

That's not right. If that were the case, they shouldn't be behaving this way.

Yun Ci tapped her pretty face with her finger, opened her mouth and ate what Zhang Xin'en fed her, feeling a little annoyed.

After the meal, she asked Zhang Xin'en and Qin Ge to go buy something and then sent them away.

He pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Xu Xingchen.

She picked out a bottle of good wine from the wine cabinet and placed it on the table.

"Come have a drink."

"My son and I haven't had a drink together in a long time."

Xu Xingchen, "Aunt Ci, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

Yun Ci shrugged. "It depends. You know I never make plans."

"What about you? You mentioned last time that you encountered a problem in your research. Have you solved it?"

"Yes, the teacher you introduced me to provided some ideas."

The two chatted about their recent situations.

Yun Ci was genuinely happy for Xu Xingchen, "Our Xingzai is so amazing, how can Mommy's baby be so incredible?"

Her eyes were full of admiration and pride. "Remember to share the results with me as soon as they come out. I want others to see how amazing and capable our Xingzai is."

Xu Xingchen was a little embarrassed by the praise, "It's just a small improvement."

"Isn't a small improvement still an improvement? The fact that you can continue to improve upon the work of so many predecessors demonstrates your ability, doesn't it?"

Yun Ci is a brainless braggart.

After chatting for a while, Yun Ci finally spoke, "Xingzai, what difficulties have you encountered recently? Perhaps you could talk to me about it."
