Extra: Meet Again
"OK."
Xiaojiu responded.
Then he started.
The vendors at stalls on both sides of the street were shouting their wares busily, and lively laughter wafted out of the wonton shop.
The familiar smell of fireworks was all around.
The boy couldn't help but laugh.
He stayed alone in that space for a long time, and could only see the outside world through a TV screen.
This lively and fresh breath was what he had longed for for seven whole years.
Finally saw you again.
What I long for more than the smell of fireworks is my family.
Family members who can talk to him.
The young man took a step forward, carrying with him nostalgia, and used his footsteps to measure the traces of his disappearance in this world for a long time.
He often goes to the wonton shop on the roadside.
His school is very close to Xingxing's, so whenever he passes by here after school, he will go in and order a bowl of noodle soup.
And now, the boss doesn't know him.
He could no longer eat his favorite three-fresh wontons.
He stood at the door for a while and hailed a taxi.
"Master, please go to Beijing University."
"Okay, sit tight!"
While he waited for his new body, a month passed in the human world.
Wen Zhile has returned to school to study for a doctorate after her confinement.
Fifteen minutes later, the taxi stopped at the west gate of Peking University.
Xiaojiu felt his pocket and found five yuan for the bus fare.
He took it out, handed it to the driver, and got out.
The news from Heaven came:
【What kind of identity do you want? 】
Xiaojiu paused.
"A senior student at No. 1 Middle School."
After five or six seconds, it was rejected.
[Your body is immortal, so it's easy to be exposed as a student. ]
[I suggest you stay hidden and don't have too much contact with humans. ]
[It is your duty to protect your luck, there is no need to interact with others. ]
The boy pursed his lips.
As Heaven had said, his life would be very boring, even pitiful.
But being able to be resurrected is good enough, what else can he ask for?
"OK."
“I will stay away from the crowd.”
"Before that, I want to meet my family, is that okay?"
【Can.】
"Senior Wen! Someone is looking for you."
The tutor had something urgent to do during the last class, so Wen Zhile was asked to substitute for her and teach English to third graders.
I just finished a short class.
When she heard the student calling her, she put down the thermos she had just picked up and walked out.
She actually couldn't figure out who would be looking for her.
Family and friends are busy, most likely classmates or teachers.
The podium is not far from the classroom door.
She took a dozen steps and reached the door.
A clear voice came from the left.
"Sister! I'm here."
Wen Zhile turned around and looked, and when his eyes met him, his expression froze.
The boy curled his lips and walked in front of her.
"Sister! Let me introduce myself again. I am Xiaojiu, and my full name is Wen Jiugong."
The moment he said the name, Wen Zhile burst into tears.
Xiaojiu was caught off guard and wanted to touch her, but he didn't dare to.
"Sister, why are you crying?"
"Did I say something wrong?"
Wen Zhile held his hand that was frozen in front of his face.
She took a step forward, hugged him with a trembling movement, and her voice was filled with heavy and uncontrollable tears.
"sorry."
"Xiaojiu, I'm sorry."
"It's my fault. I didn't recognize you."
The boy was stunned.
"You...you remember everything?"
He didn't want his sister to remember him.
How miserable she would be.
He only hoped that his sister would treat him as a partner and good friend, just like she had done in the past seven years.
"Sister, don't cry. It makes me sad when you cry."
Wen Zhile forced a smile.
But it still looks like crying.
The students around looked at them curiously, and Xiaojiu wiped her tears carefully.
"Sister, when did you remember it?"
Wen Zhile shook her head.
She didn't remember anything.
But such a coincidence cannot be just a coincidence.
Recently, she has been thinking about the conversations she had with Xiaojiu since they met, trying to find clues.
Two days ago, she went to see Dai Nuan and confirmed her rebirth with her again.
She said the same thing as before, but added something she didn't know:
Dai Nuan said that when this life ends, her soul will be taken away by the person who promised her rebirth, and all her consciousness will be erased, turning her into a puppet working for him.
Wen Zhile thought that Xiaojiu would be like this after completing his mission and leaving.
Thought I'd never see him again.
Over the past month, she has been dreaming about whether she had a younger brother in her past life.
Unfortunately, I have never even dreamed about it.
She was almost driven crazy by this problem, but she didn't show it on her face because she was afraid her family would worry.
Except for Zhou Jihuai, who was with her every day and slept in the same bed with her, no one noticed her abnormality.
Even Zhou Jihuai only saw 20% of it.
And just now.
After hearing Xiaojiu say with his own mouth that his name was "Wen Jiugong", the fog in Wen Zhile's heart finally dissipated.
Even if she didn't remember, she was absolutely sure.
Xiaojiu is my biological brother.
He sacrificed himself.
Xiaojiu has been clinging to her sister since she was young.
Wen Zhile is five years older than her brother, and she raised him single-handedly. The relationship between the two siblings is so good that she can tell what the other is thinking with just a glance.
When Xiaojiu saw her shaking her head, he quickly guessed all her thoughts.
After a while, he nodded in acknowledgement.
"Yes, I am your brother."
Wen Zhile cried with joy.
Guilt also peaked at the same moment.
She cried harder and harder, but her voice was not louder.
Xiaojiu also wanted to cry when she saw this. While comforting her, he put his hand in his pocket and silently reached for a tissue.
This was a little magic trick that Tiandao taught him before he came to the human world.
No matter what you need, just put your hands in your pockets or any hidden place and recite silently, and you will get it.
"Senior Wen..." A student in the class came over and looked at her worriedly, "It's time for class."
Wen Zhile stopped crying: "Okay."
She assigned homework to the students and then found a senior who studied in the same building and asked her to help cover a class.
She came to the door with red eyes, and the senior sister was shocked and agreed without hesitation.
Wen Zhile thanked him gratefully.
After going out, he took Xiaojiu downstairs with him, walking quickly.
"Sister, where are you taking me?"
"Meet Mom and Dad."
Wen Zhile found his car, opened the passenger door, and let Xiaojiu get in.
The boy was a little hesitant.
"Sister, is this too fast?"
