Xiaoxi was terrified when she saw her third brother's eyes light up again, and he kept pestering her to ask about their son's illness.

She picked up the baguette that had been bitten several times from the ground.

"Third Brother, I'm starving! And look at what you've been eating all day! You're so careless!"

Ye Zhilin gave an awkward laugh. He just felt that eating was too much of a waste of time.

When I started talking about research, I forgot that his whole family was new to the area and I should have treated them well.

What can we offer to our family?

Ye Zhilin was extremely worried.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Xi chuckled and said, "Third Brother, you haven't had any hometown food in a long time, have you? Let Bei Chen show off his skills, it will be so delicious you'll want to swallow your tongue."

Then everyone went to the restaurant.

It has to be said that Mijac was quite diligent in the past; he managed to keep such a large space inside the whale's belly perfectly organized.

Although the kitchen is used infrequently, it is fully equipped.

Fortunately, Xiaoxi usually likes to stock up on food.

The fresh ingredients they brought out once again amazed Ye Zhilin.

"Xiaoxi, you still say you're not a magician? How did these things appear out of thin air?"

"Third Brother, you'll understand in time. If Xiaoxi were to tell you all this, it would take at least three days and three nights."

Ye Zhilin found his younger sister increasingly amazing.

He heard that his parents had a baby sister when he wasn't home.

But he also lost his little sister, and he felt very sad, but he didn't know how to comfort his parents.

The only way is to keep yourself busy with your studies.

It's incredible that his family was able to find him inside the whale's belly, such a hidden place.

Suddenly, a little girl appeared; it turned out to be her own sister.

There's another little sister in this world to pamper. How did happiness come so suddenly?

What kind of gift should I give my sister to greet her?

Ye Zhilin was deep in thought.

Xiaoxi called out, "Dinner's ready!"

Bei Chen cooked most of the meal, except for one home-style dish, braised pork ribs, which Xiao Xi made.

Xiaoxi specifically asked her mother what dishes her third brother liked to eat.

My parents also work at a military base year-round. When they came back many years ago, I saw that Ye Zhilin's favorite food was braised pork ribs.

So Xiaoxi personally cooked a braised pork rib dish.

Sure enough, Ye Zhilin's eyes immediately turned red when he ate the braised pork ribs.

"I haven't tasted the flavors of home for many years. This was made by my little sister, Xiaoxi."

Everyone understood Ye Zhilin's feelings and offered him food.

Not only can he not eat his hometown dishes, but even simple stir-fried vegetables or scrambled eggs with tomatoes are hard for Ye Zhilin to eat, because he is too dedicated to his academic pursuits.

Liang Wanyi felt sorry for her third son.

"Zhilin, come home with us for a while. Your dad and I will be going back to the base in September. It's already hard for the whole family to get together."

Ye Zhilin was about to agree when he suddenly remembered that he couldn't leave the lab yet.

All he could do was apologize to Liang Wanyi.

“Mother, I can’t leave for too long. The medicine I’m researching has reached a critical stage, and if I leave, many things will have to be reconstituted.”

Liang Wanyi was somewhat disappointed, but since she and her husband were both researchers, even though their fields were different, she could understand their feelings.

Xiaoxi said, "Mom, why don't I stay and keep Third Brother company? I understood a lot of what he was saying earlier, and I can help him out!"

Ye Zhilin suddenly stood up excitedly, "Xiao Xi, you're going to stay and help me? That's great!"

He suddenly realized what the happiest thing in the world truly is.

This gave him a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly remembered what gift to give his sister when they first met.
