Chapter 2: Brilliant



Cancan held the book high in her little hands and shook her head proudly.

"Second brother, you can't fool Cancan."

Qi Sen hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Your father asked you to memorize such a long sentence but didn't teach you how to read?"

Cancan shook her head: "Daddy said that learning to read is the beginning of being sensible, Cancan doesn't need to be sensible."

A hundred years ago, every time she followed her third brother to the private school, her father would always grab her collar and drag her back. Her mother said she was still a child, at the age of playfulness, and didn't need to learn to read or write. She just needed to memorize the "Gancan Growth Guide".

Qi Sen was silent.

Cancan's family is really...unique.

Bow your head.

Cancan still looked at him happily, as excited as if she had seen some great treasure.

Qi Sen's brows softened a little. He squatted down and gently loosened the little hand that was clenching the corner of his clothes.

"I don't have a sister. You got the wrong person."

He has lived in darkness since he was a child, was despised by his adoptive parents, and his family environment was a mess. How could he have such a cute and soft sister, whose eyebrows curved into two crescents when she smiled, and whose dimples were sweet and intoxicating, like a sweet toffee.

Even the little hand holding the corner of his clothes was so soft that people were reluctant to let go.

Cancan nodded her little head heavily, and her pigtails fell down, looking very cute.

He spoke in a baby voice: "You are the second brother."

She took out two peaches bigger than Qi Sen's fist from the small cloth bag at her side, held them clumsily in her arms, stood on tiptoe and looked up, and said happily as if presenting a treasure: "Look, second brother, these are the peaches you gave to Cancan."

Qi Sen smiled bitterly.

He has never even met Cancan, so how could he give her peaches?

I looked at my watch and saw that class was about to start in ten minutes.

He frowned slightly. The next class was the homeroom teacher's. Our class's math scores were last in the grade in the monthly exam, so he was bound to get scolded by the homeroom teacher. But he couldn't care less.

"Do you still remember your parents' or brother's names and phone numbers? I'll take you to the police and ask them for help."

Cancan pursed her lips, lowered her head and hugged Taozi, looking very unhappy.

Second brother still didn't believe her.

Cancan glanced at him secretly, then stared at the ground and whispered, "Cancan has already found my second brother, there's no need to call the police."

The third brother said that if you encounter difficulties, you can go to the police.

But she is not in trouble now.

She found her second brother.

Really found it.

Even though they had only met once, Cancan was sure that he was the second brother.

He is the majestic and revered God Qisen in the Nine Heavens.

It was also his gentle second brother who sent her two fairy peaches eighteen years ago, gently touched her little head and asked her to go back to the bedroom to eat peaches, and covered her ears and performed a peach race with her when thunder was rolling in the Forgotten Immortal Sea.

After that meeting, Cancan never saw his second brother again. His father, mother, eldest brother and third brother also disappeared.

Unable to find them, Cancan cried breathlessly in her bedroom. Torrential rain and thunderstorms ravaged the land for days, leaving the gods and immortals in dire straits, yet they were helpless to do anything. To their surprise, Cancan's master, the King of Hell, calmed her cries in just a stick of incense.

Not only that, the little princess Cancan, who was surrounded like a star, did not make any noise during the years when the emperor and empress disappeared. Instead, she stayed alone in the Wuwang Sea very obediently.

How the King of Hell comforted the little princess, allowing her to endure years of loneliness without crying or making a fuss, has become a great mystery throughout the world.

The fairies guessed that it might be a treasure like Cancan’s favorite rare treasure.

Perhaps only the fairy peach that Cancan holds in her arms all the time knows the truth. Every time Cancan sits at the gate of Wuwang Sea holding the fairy peach given by her second brother and stares blankly at the deserted sea road, she always repeats in a baby voice what the King of Hell said to her over and over again.

That day, Yan Wang stood in front of Cancan with a crab in his hand and an expressionless face. He watched her cry for a long time and then said only one sentence:

"Don't cry. You'll get to see them in eighteen more birthdays."

**

The King of Hell did not lie to her.

The preparatory bell of Shangshi Middle School rang several times, and Qi Sen took her to the nearby police station.

Cancan was startled. The repeated rejections made her subconsciously start to worry. She took several steps back to avoid Qi Sen's outstretched hand and raised her head pitifully: "Second brother, Daddy and Mommy are not here. Cancan will never be naughty again. Please don't throw Cancan to the police station."

She doesn't want to be alone anymore.

At the end of the speech, there was a hint of crying in the baby voice.

No one will understand how important this encounter is to Cancan.

Cancan recalled the scene of sitting at the gate of Wuwanghai waiting for them. Tears welled up in her eyes and she kept repeating one sentence: "Brother, please don't leave Cancan."

At the same time, he raised his hands and took two steps forward to ask Qi Sen to hold him, his short legs shaking as he cried.

Qi Sen subconsciously hugged the little girl, patted her back with his warm palm, and comforted her over and over again: "I don't want you."

After hearing it several times, Cancan finally heard the words and leaned into Qi Sen's arms, her crying gradually stopping.

Casually wiping away the tears on her face, Cancan asked with sobs, "Will you...will you really want me?"

Qi Sen paused.

Cancan pursed her lips when she didn't get an answer. Just as she was about to burst into tears, Qi Sen hurriedly said, "I want yours. I will want yours."

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.

When he saw Cancan for the first time, he felt a natural sense of closeness to her, and inexplicably wanted to believe the absurd statement that he was Cancan's second brother.

But he can't.

The adoptive parents only treated Cancan as a burden, scolding her all day long. Even if she hid in the room, she could still hear their silent and dirty beatings and scolding.

But now Cancan regards him as the only one, the only one who makes her happy when she sees him.

Qi Sen had never experienced this feeling of being needed. Even though it was an ignorant child who needed him, he felt extremely warm.

Under the warmth, some absurd thoughts suddenly emerged: even if he had no home, he had to give Cancan a perfect home.

Besides, Cancan said that her parents are no longer around, and since there is no one to accompany her, then he can.

Qi Sen hesitated for a few seconds between the police station and the school, his gaze fixed on Cancan's still red eyes.

However, children's emotions come and go quickly.

Although her eyes were red, Cancan was in a good mood.

In just a few seconds, Cancan had returned to her previous happy appearance, shaking her little hands high, signaling Qi Sen to hold her hand.

The ding-ding-ding sound of the school bell was so loud that it hurt people's ears. Qi Sen let out a long breath, passed by Cancan's hand, held her arm tightly, and took her into the bookstore next to the school.

As he walked, he made excuses for his behavior: the next class was the head teacher's class, he couldn't be late, and besides, today was the last day before the National Day holiday, and he would still have plenty of time to deal with Cancan's affairs after the holiday.

The owner of the bookstore is a young girl in her twenties. Since Qi Sen often buys books here, the two are very familiar with each other.

The boss was slightly startled when he saw Cancan, and asked with a smile: "Who is this little girl?"

Without waiting for Qi Sen to answer, Cancan raised her head and said loudly: "I am the second brother's sister."

There were still traces of tears on her face, but she stood straight and looked proud, as if being Qi Sen's sister was a very honorable thing.

The boss was amused by Cancan's silly look and asked jokingly: "Did this little girl cry just now?"

Cancan's little face turned red.

The little dragon princess was found crying by mortals, and her pride was gone! !

Why are you telling it out loud after you discovered it?

Cancan turned her head away angrily, not looking at the boss. She grabbed the corner of Qi Sen's clothes and said in a baby voice, "Second brother, Cancan won't cry anymore. Cancan is very strong."

The other little hand was clenched into a fist, with a serious expression, as if he was taking an oath.

His mischievous appearance made the other two people laugh.

The serious look of the little kid is so cute!

The boss silently paid attention to Cancan as if he saw a treasure.

"Cancan is awesome." Qi Sen echoed the praise, "I have to go to school now. You stay here with your sister and don't go anywhere. I'll pick you up after school. Don't go anywhere. It's dangerous outside."

Cancan nodded obediently: "Mother said that children will be caught if they are outside alone."

"Yes, so you must stay here and don't go out."

After explaining everything, Qi Sen said a few words to the bookstore owner and left, not forgetting to buy a chemistry book called "Test Question Research" before leaving.

He did averagely in chemistry in this month's exam and needs to make up for it.

Qi Sen was planning his review schedule for the next period of time in his mind. Since he had already started class, he walked very fast and accidentally bumped into someone's shoulder when passing by him.

He looked up subconsciously.

He paused slightly.

Standing opposite was the school's famous chemistry genius, Pei Shen.

Pei Shen was listening to music with headphones. He had delicate eyebrows, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, slightly curly hair, and bangs parted in the middle. His hands were in his school uniform pockets. He looked as handsome as an idol star in the entertainment industry.

He just looks a little thin and has an unhealthy pale complexion.

The school guard smiled and said, "Qi Sen and Pei Shen, right? Hurry to the teaching building, the class has already started."

It's no surprise that the guard knew both of their names.

One of them is the school's most popular hunk, and the other is a city-renowned chemistry genius. In addition, Pei Shen is good-looking, and it is said that he is the strongest contender for the next school hunk.

The two advocates argued fiercely on the forum.

These were all said by his daughter who loves to browse forums. It's interesting to listen to about the life of high school students when you are bored.

Qi Sen nodded lightly to the guard and left quickly.

Pei Shen, on the other hand, smiled friendly at the guard and walked slowly forward humming a song.

**

After Qi Sen left, Cancan kept her head held high, with her arms folded across her chest, ignoring the bookstore owner's arrogant attitude.

Shu Shu could guess the reason.

It was only two minutes ago that she revealed the fact that the child had cried.

But this child is a bit too concerned about his reputation. He is just crying, all children are like that.

Cancan noticed the elder sister looking at her out of the corner of her eye, her face turned red, and she turned a little circle and turned her back to the boss.

Although she maintained the spoiled look of a little princess, her heart was beating fast.

She...she was found crying!!

what to do!

Cancan unconsciously began to chew her hands while thinking about something. As she was chewing, she heard a few loud laughs behind her.

She turned around curiously.

The older sister was holding a square object, looking at it with a smile.

Cancan stood there patiently for two seconds, then took small steps to move over. Standing on tiptoe, with her hands on the desk, her round little head slowly rose like a hot air balloon.

At the side of the desk, half of a little head slowly emerged, and the round almond-shaped eyes looked curiously at Fang Zheng's glowing object.

But Shushu turned his body slightly, perfectly blocking her view.

She pouted and snorted unhappily. She endured it for two seconds, but curiosity finally won out.

Scratching her head sheepishly, Cancan moved to Shu Shu's side and whispered, "Big sister, let's make peace."

"Why should I make peace with you?" Shu Shu still couldn't help teasing her.

Cancan was so blocked that she didn't know what to say. She said seriously, "Sister, don't be so stingy. Daddy said that people should be generous. Just make peace with Cancan."

After that, he pointed at the thing that made people laugh and said seriously: "Good things should be shared."

Shu Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Cancan's parents have educated her very well.

Don't go out alone, share things and these principles will come to your mind.

Shu Shuben also wanted to tease her. Seeing Cancan's laughter, he took out his phone and explained, "This is called a mobile phone."

In the next three hours, she introduced the functions of the mobile phone in detail, and finally, at Cancan's strong request, played an episode of the TV series she was watching: "Journey to the West".

"Journey to the West" is very good.

Others watch "Journey to the West" to see the magical experience of the four masters and apprentices in obtaining Buddhist scriptures.

But Cancan is different.

She couldn't understand the profound principles in the TV series, and the reason she was so fascinated by it was simply because she was looking for similarities.

Wow! There's also the Nine Heavens here! There's a Dragon Palace!

Hey, why is there no Wuwang Sea? Where did Yuanling Mingjun go? Why is there another talking monkey brother?

In Cancan's eyes, the classic TV series "Journey to the West" has become a large-scale connect-the-dots game.

When school was almost over, Shu Shu turned off the TV and held Cancan's hand while waiting at the school gate. Cancan didn't even have time to think about her brother, and all she could think about was "Journey to the West".

Shu Shu looked into the campus and asked Cancan, "Cancan, are you Qi Sen's biological sister?"

Qi Sen is a famous person in Shangshi Middle School. He is handsome and has top grades, so naturally he is talked about by many students.

Although Shu Shu didn't pay attention to these things, the occasional gossip from students who came to her store to buy books would reach her ears.

If she heard correctly, she remembered that Qi Sen should have been adopted, and his adoptive parents had bad tempers and treated him very badly, and his family background was also average.

Where did such a cute, well-behaved and quirky sister come from?

In addition, Cancan looks like someone who is spoiled in every move she makes, and she doesn't look like someone who comes from a family with adoptive parents.

Just as he was about to ask, Cancan suddenly ran forward, calling out sweetly as he ran: "Second brother, Cancan has finally waited for you!"

When the students at the gate of Shangshi Middle School saw this scene, they began to envy from the bottom of their hearts.

Having such a pretty sister running over and jumping into my arms is so sweet just thinking about it!!

Pei Shen, who was not far from the school gate, was wearing headphones and watching the cute little kids running at the school gate. He waited until the two figures, one big and one small, disappeared from his sight before he walked forward slowly.

Someone was whispering next to me.

"Have you seen Qi Sen's sister?"

"It's so cute! I wish I had a sister like this!"

Pei Shen unconsciously glanced in the direction where Qi Sen disappeared, then turned around and shook his head secretly.

What's so good about having a sister?

She loves to cry and make noise, and disturbs his studies from time to time. It’s scary just thinking about it.

"It's nice to have a handsome brother like Qi Sen, who can help me with my homework every night."

Pei Shen frowned, and when he mentioned Qi Sen, a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes.

He doesn't have a good impression of those people who always have a stern face and act like they are the boss of the world.

Why are you showing off? You are not a cool guy.

The author has something to say:

Qi Sen: It’s not the arrogant brother, it’s your brother.
