Qi Weidong sat down next to Ying Xixi.
The strong smell of hormones drifted into Ying Xixi's air, giving her the illusion that she was surrounded by Qi Weidong.
"I am the eldest son of the Qi family. After I learned to walk, my family asked me to work. At that time, I was young and didn't know anything. I was instilled with the idea that I should help with housework.
Later, when I grew up a little and could remember things, the second and third children of the Qi family were born one after another. My family said that I was the eldest and the big brother, so I had to give in to my two younger brothers and help them with work.
They make me do all the chores at home, big or small, no matter if I am capable of doing them or not.
When we eat at home, they always give the meat and eggs to the second and third children and not to me.
At first, I bravely picked up a piece of meat, but was severely scolded. That night, I was locked out.
I thought the eldest sons in other families were treated the same way, but when I learned that other families treated their sons better than their daughters, I felt sad. I didn't know why my parents treated me and my two younger brothers so differently.
Whatever delicious food, clothes, and fun things they have always go to the second and third children, and I never get any.
Later, when conscription began, they pushed me out without hesitation and told me to send my allowance back home because I was the eldest and had to support the family.
Qi Weidong's low and hoarse voice slowly sounded.
He spoke about his past in a straightforward manner. It was his past, but he spoke so calmly that it seemed as if he was talking about someone else's past.
"A few years ago, before I married you, I was seriously injured and was sent to the hospital. The doctor said the situation was very dangerous and that I might lose my life.
My comrades helped me contact Qi’s family, thinking that if I really couldn’t be saved, at least my family could see me for the last time.
All four members of the Qi family came, but they didn't ask my comrades and doctors whether I could survive or why I was so seriously injured.
What they were asking was where was my allowance, they were my family and if I died the allowance should go to them.
They also asked if there would be any pension to give them if I died.
All they asked about was money, they never cared about me at all!
I was lucky and finally survived and woke up. I thought they would care about me when they saw I woke up, but when I woke up and saw them, they actually started scolding me for waking up.
Now all the money they could have gotten is gone!
Xixi, do you know what it means to feel as if your heart is dead and you're sinking into an icy cave? That's how I felt then. I was heartbroken, and for the first time in my life, I began to doubt myself.
Am I really their biological son?"
Ying Xixi moved her lips and said, "Of course not, you are not the biological son of the Qi family!"
Ying Xixi really wanted to tell Qi Weidong this, but her mouth was controlled by the system and she couldn't tell Qi Weidong this fact.
"I learned that time that no matter how nice I was to the Qi family, it was useless. If that's the case, I won't hold out any hope for them anymore.
After I returned to the team, I no longer sent my allowance once a month, nor did I send most of my allowance. I even ran to a place a hundred kilometers away to send my allowance because I didn't want them to know where I was.
Later, when I got married to you three or four years ago, they wrote to me and said that something big had happened at home and asked me to go back.
When I returned, I found out that they had already arranged a marriage for me and I could get married as soon as I returned.
Xixi, I admit that I didn’t want to get married at that time, but after seeing you, I changed my mind. I want to start a small family with you and spend the rest of our lives together.
At that time, I thought about taking you with me when I left and letting you come with the army, but I had to leave to perform my mission the next day.
I thought I would come to pick you up after I completed my mission, but who knew that in the past few years, I haven't had a chance to rest, and I can't ask for leave, let alone leave.
I had no choice but to send most of my allowance back, thinking that they would be nicer to you because of the allowance.
Who knows….”
There is no need to say more about what happened next, Ying Xixi and Qi Weidong both knew what happened next.
"Xixi, I'm sorry. I can't change the past, but from the day you brought the child to me, I've made up my mind. Besides defending the country and the people, I will also protect you and the child.
As for the Qi family, they bullied me, you and the child, so we don't need to recognize them anymore.
They have done so many evil things that it is only natural that they should be punished. You don't have to worry about me, we can just live our lives."
Qi Weidong turned his head to look at Ying Xixi and gently touched her hair as if he was touching Guigui's little head.
Ying Xixi blinked and looked straight at Qi Weidong, "Then I'm happy that the Qi family has received retribution. Are you angry?"
"Of course not. I'm also happy that the Qi family finally got their comeuppance."
Qi Weidong raised the corners of his lips and a smile crept up his eyebrows.
Ying Xixi was relieved. "That's good. Don't be sad. It's hard to say about family relationships. What if you really aren't...hiss!"
Ying Xixi bit her tongue halfway through her words and took a breath.
[Host, now is not the time to tell the hero that he is not the biological son of the Qi family.]
The system did not forget to remind you.
"Okay, okay, I didn't plan to tell you, and you don't have to be so anxious to make me bite my tongue!"
Ying Xixi cursed in her heart.
The system complained, "Oh, that's right."
"Xixi, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Weidong was startled and held Ying Xixi's face in his big hands to look at it carefully.
"I, I'm fine, I just bit my tongue."
When Ying Xixi raised her eyes, she saw Qi Weidong's face approaching, and her chin was held by his rough big hands, which felt hot where they touched.
This experience is quite novel.
"I'm glad you're okay."
After Qi Weidong finished speaking, he realized that the distance between them seemed a little too close.
Their breaths intertwined, and an ambiguous atmosphere began to spread in the air.
Ying Xixi noticed that Qi Weidong's cheeks were starting to get hot.
When it comes to Qi Weidong, she has always been in a state of "weak when facing the strong, and strong when facing the weak".
Seeing Qi Weidong start to feel shy, the shame that had just risen in her heart disappeared instantly.
She blinked, reached out to hold Qi Weidong's chin, and moved a little closer to him.
"Qi Weidong, your face is so red, are you shy?"
Qi Weidong only felt a buzzing in his brain, and all the heat in his body rose to his head.
The person in front of him was like a fairy. She was the only one in his eyes. He could only feel the scorching temperature and warm breath of the places she touched. Everything around him seemed to have disappeared.
