When I got to the pavilion, I realized that there were people sitting inside, even though it was previously a blind spot.

She wore an embroidered Chinese-style suit, had delicate features, a melancholic air, and a vacant look in her eyes, as if she had been lost in thought for a long time.

Upon seeing the person, Nan Yu immediately rushed into Pei Ji's arms.

Since there were other people around, Pei Ji decided to take Nan Yu away.

The dazed boy snapped out of his reverie. Because he was sitting, the two people opposite him were standing sideways from his perspective. For a moment, he met Nan Yu's eyes and suddenly stood up and shouted, "Brother!"

Nan Yu was startled.

Pei Ji was also startled.

The boy strode over, trying to touch Nan Yu, but was blocked by Pei Ji.

Meeting the other person's gaze startled him, causing him to straighten his back.

He could only turn his attention back to Nan Yu and ask, "Brother, where have you been for the past year?"

Nan Yu glanced at him secretly, feeling uncomfortable because he was too close to her, and hugged Pei Ji's arm even tighter.

She huddled tightly in the boy's arms like a quail.

Pei Ji took off his coat and put it over Nan Yu's head. It was still hot in September, and the little lamp wick couldn't stand it.

But he could bear to see people rather than face them.

Pei Ji wanted to take the little lamp wick away.

The boy stopped him again.

"Get out of the way!"

Although the two may be the same age, the boy was clearly unable to withstand the pressure from Pei Ji and instinctively stepped back.

At the same time, a sense of doubt welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but start to doubt myself. Could it be that I've mistaken someone for someone else?

He asked cautiously, "Excuse me, are you Nan Yu? You look a bit like my brother. Maybe I've mistaken you for someone else."

Upon hearing the name "Brother Xiaoyu," Pei Ji scrutinized the young man from head to toe, then frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Xue Ziqi."

The surname Xue is quite rare; the original owner's mother's surname was Xue.

Nan Yu felt that her memory might be incomplete, or perhaps the original owner herself was not familiar with this relative. Although she couldn't see the face clearly, she couldn't recognize the voice at all.

But he was very reluctant to interact with strangers.

Like a frightened little animal, she curled up forward, her arms tightly wrapped around Pei Ji's waist, her head desperately trying to squeeze in, seeking his protection.

The large hand gently patted the thin back of the small lamp wick.

Seeing the two behaving intimately, the student frowned deeply. He had heard of Pei Ji on the forum; a finance major, he was not only outstanding in appearance but also in intelligence.

Their family background is unknown, but they must have been either wealthy or of high social standing.

I haven't seen my cousin for over a year.

Aside from transferring money, he doesn't answer video calls or reply to voice messages; he doesn't exchange a single word with his father.

He once thought his cousin was working illegally abroad.

Otherwise, how could he earn so much money?

When asked where he got the money, he wouldn't say.

You can't blame the students for overthinking things; their family's circumstances are what they are. Their aunt is sick, their uncle is a gambler, they haven't seen their cousin for years, yet money arrives in their account every month.

I suddenly saw it at school.

Or with...

Being kept as a sugar daddy is a common occurrence on university campuses.

Regardless of gender, he suspected his cousin was... cough.

The more I think about it during my student years, the more outrageous it seems. Can't be right?

"elder brother?"

Nan Yu felt a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. Coupled with the hot weather and Pei Ji's clothes on her head, his shouts were like a death knell. Her breathing became disordered, and she quickly went limp and fainted.

Pei Ji was startled and quickly took the clothes off Nan Yu's head, carried him to the pavilion, and took off his mask to let him breathe.

Students should carefully observe the other person's appearance.

His pupils widened; it really was his brother.

The question came out somewhat urgently: "What's your relationship with my brother?"

Pei Ji glanced at Xue Ziqi, his voice light and rather indifferent: "Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone?"

Student: "More than a year ago, my brother went out to work to earn money for my aunt's medical treatment. Apart from transferring money, the family has been unable to contact him. What is your relationship with my brother?"

Going out? To work? To earn money? To seek medical treatment?

Are you sure you're talking about Brother Xiaoyu?

No one knows better than him whether the other person has left home in the past year or so.

"You've got the wrong person."

Student: "Don't I recognize my brother's face? What's your relationship with him? He suddenly has so much money to pay for my aunt's medical expenses and sends money to my dad every month. Is that any of your business?"

As she spoke, she reached for her phone and found a family photo. Xue Ziqi handed the phone to Pei Ji, her expression less hurried than before, and said, "This is the photo."

Pei Ji stared at the photo in silence for a long time.

They look alike, and their names match.

The reason Pei Ji didn't take Nan Yu away immediately was to find out what the relationship was between Xue Ziqi and Xiao Yu Ge. After all, his previous investigation had yielded nothing, so how could they just be from an ordinary family?

Whether or not the background information comes from Nan Yu's mouth is not important.

All he needs is for Xiaoyu to rely on him enough.

What illness does your aunt have?

"Colorectal cancer."

Pei Ji frowned, sensing that Nan Yu was about to wake up, and said to Xue Ziqi, "Let's exchange contact information and talk about it later."

The two added each other on WeChat.

Student Period: "You still haven't told me what your relationship is with my brother?"

Pei Ji: "Neighbor."

The student's gaze swept over the two of them: "It's not that simple, is it?"

Pei Ji sneered, "What, do you think your brother is being kept by me?"

He didn't want to admit it, but what he had just witnessed, and the source of that money, seemed to have no reasonable explanation other than being kept as a mistress.

The student retorted, "Really?"

Pei Ji picked up Nan Yu and replied, "No."

After saying that, he led his men away with great strides.

Halfway there, Nan Yu woke up.

We need to go down.

Pei Ji: "We're almost home, brother. Let me carry you. Be good and don't move."

Nan Yu fell silent.

[Holy crap, that was fast! The magnetic field detector is right next door!]

The hat that was originally worn tightly was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind, and the face was itchy. Little Dengxin couldn't stand it, so she took off her mask to scratch.

Pei Ji went to pick up the hat, and when he came back, he was about to put it on Nan Yu when Xiao Dengxin's head started itching again and kept scratching.

She whimpered and refused to wear it, saying, "It itches, I won't wear it."

Pei Ji brushed aside the small lamp wick's hair, trying to see what was there, but why did it suddenly itch?

Unable to find a reason, the boy said, "Fine, I won't wear it. I'll go back and take a shower."

The little wick gave a pitiful "hmm".

My head is throbbing, why does it suddenly itch so much?

The face too.

The September sun was still intense, and Xiao Dengxin's face quickly turned red. Her beautiful, round eyes looked like she was wearing colored contact lenses, and her eyelashes were thick and long. Although she wasn't wearing any makeup, she looked like she was wearing a full face of makeup.

My wife is so beautiful, I'm taking her home to cherish.

We need to speed up our journey back.

As they approached home, a flashy red sports car passed by them.

The driver, wearing sunglasses, immediately stared wide-eyed. Yu Mochi, sitting in the passenger seat, trembled violently when he caught sight of that familiar face, his expression extremely complicated.

[Wuhu, host, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?]

Little Lampwick didn't want to listen to anyone; he just wanted to go home quickly. He felt so uncomfortable and wanted to take a bath.

Nan Yu remained silent, so Jin Wangba had no choice but to say:

Let's hear the good news first.

The plot is partially complete.

[Bad news, he was reborn! Damn it, the scumbag seme was actually reborn!]

Jin Wangba was very surprised.
