When Yin Bei was young, he didn't understand why so many people always followed him and his younger brother. When he was a teenager, he went through a rebellious phase and would take his younger brother out to play all day long. Since he had never been in any danger, he didn't take the adults' precautions seriously.
As a result of an unexpected incident, Yin Bei and his three-year-old brother were kidnapped. The kidnappers didn't want money; they wanted their lives. During the fierce battle between the rescuers and the kidnappers, Yin Bei was shot and passed out. When he woke up, his brother was gone.
Yin Bei sat there, his back straight, his hands on his knees, clenched into fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging and his knuckles white.
He kept his head down, obscuring his expression, but his voice remained as calm as ever, as if he were recounting a story unrelated to himself: "The Yin family says I don't have a younger brother, and my parents say I'm their only child. But I know I actually have a younger brother, a brother I lost because of my mistake..."
"I've been trying to find him all these years, but I haven't heard anything. I thought Chenchen might have died in the crossfire because of my mistake... But half a year ago, I saw Yin Chen in the Doomsday Live Broadcast Room."
Yin Bei suddenly raised his head. His eyes were a beautiful black, sparkling like stars, as if the Milky Way were shining brightly in his eyes.
He stared intently at Yin Chen, his lips trembling slightly, as if trying to control himself from getting too excited and frightening his younger brother. He spoke softly, "I know... you are my younger brother."
The meeting room fell silent for a moment.
Yin Chen lowered his head and pried open his fingers, the knuckles making a cracking sound as he bent them into strange shapes, then put them back together one by one, as soft as if he were playing with ten rubber bands.
He didn't say anything, and it was unclear whether he was even listening to Yin Bei.
Yin Bei's eyes dimmed for a moment, but quickly brightened again.
Ye Tan couldn't help but ask, "Since you saw A-Chen half a year ago, why are you only coming now?" The handsome and slightly roguish man leaned back, crossed his legs, and whistled, "What, is it because... it's too dangerous here, are you scared?"
Yin Bei shook his head: "Half a year ago, the head of the Yin family turned into a zombie. After I became the head of the family, I had to deal with the affairs of the Yin family. It wasn't until recently that I had the opportunity to contact people from the military to come here."
Ye Tan chuckled mockingly: "Since the Yin family is more important, why are you still concerned about your younger brother? What are you doing here trying to show your deep affection?"
Seeing Ye Tan's state, Mu Chunfeng sighed and gently tugged at his hand: "A-Tan..."
Ye Tan shrugged, indicating that she would not say anything more.
Compared to the people in this apocalypse who have not experienced the true moral decay of an apocalypse, Ye Tan, who has already experienced an apocalypse and been reborn, is often aggressive. He is used to taking action whenever he doesn't like something, when the strong rule everything and human life is as worthless as grass.
Yin Bei's non-aggressive demeanor and repentant expression annoyed Ye Tan, who was fiercely protective of his own. If Ye Tan hadn't already toned down his sharp edges, he would have kicked Yin Bei out by now.
Listen to what he said, Yin Chen was only three years old when he went missing! How could a three-year-old child grow up to be so big?
Just imagine how monstrous Yin Chen looked when he fought. Knowing how cruel human experimentation was, Ye Tan knew exactly what he had been through, which made her even more annoyed with the person in front of her.
Your momentary carelessness, your unintentional mistake, I didn't expect that a simple act of repentance would be enough to forgive you?
Are you kidding me? Do you think your face is that big?
Where were you when we really needed you to save us?
Oh, Yin Chen has become a hero, achieved fame and success, he has companions, and he is no longer like a wild beast, ignorant of everything. When he has been taught and understands everything, you jump out?
How ridiculous!
Mu Chunfeng looked at Yin Bei with a troubled expression and said gently, "I'm sorry, A-Tan is a bit straightforward... but what he said makes sense. Even if you've dealt with the Yin family's affairs, no one's family is stable in the current situation, especially since, as you said, the Yin family is a large and powerful family, so there will be even more problems, right? It's not really appropriate for you to come here like this..."
Although Mu Chunfeng's words were tactful, they still indicated that he actually agreed with Ye Tan's statement.
Yin Bei did not show any resentment despite the two people's accusatory words.
Lowering his eyes, Yin Bei said in a deep voice, "I know you won't forgive me, but I just want to stay and make amends to Chenchen. I served in the military and earned the title of King of Soldiers. Even if I stay here, I won't be a burden. Dr. Long, please approve my application to stay."
Perhaps after being in a position of authority for so long, even when he makes a request, it carries a hint of command.
Long Xun didn't answer him, but turned to look at Yin Chen, who was sitting there obediently playing with his fingers. He had almost twisted his fingers into a pretzel.
Realizing that Yin Chen's opinion was key, Ye Tan decisively said, "Reject him, A-Chen! Just because someone's a Tom, Dick, or Harry doesn't mean they can stay. We don't welcome people with questionable character here!"
Mu Chunfeng's gentle smile turned helpless as he couldn't stop him from speaking. But it was precisely because this person was always so straightforward and dazzling, fearless and indomitable, that he followed him like a moth drawn to a flame...
He lowered his eyes and looked at his own hand, which was resting on the back of Ye Tan's hand. His slender fingers slowly closed and gently grasped Ye Tan's hand.
