"This... I don't know."
Zhu Mingyue looked at Li Weiwan, then at Shi Jing, and shook her head in confusion: "I haven't mentioned this to them yet, so I have no idea what they think."
“But my second and third brothers have very good tempers and are very tolerant. As long as you are not a morally corrupt person, they should not have any objections.”
"Good that you have no objections!" Shi Jing's eyes suddenly became very firm. "Mingyue, take us to your second and third brothers now. I need to ask them for help!"
"What help can they offer?" Zhu Mingyue asked, puzzled. "Are you suggesting we tell them about my older brother and Chaochao?"
Shi Jing: "I won't tell them. I have my own ways of getting them to pester Zhu Xingye on their own."
"Brother Li, drive me to the mall to buy some gifts first."
"Oh." Li Weiwan took out her car keys, immediately opened the car door, and got into the driver's seat.
Shi Jing looked at Zhu Mingyue and said, "You lead the way. We'll go find your second and third brothers now."
“…Alright.” Although she was a little worried, Zhu Mingyue agreed to Shi Jing’s request.
The two got back into the car and had Li Weiwan drive them to the nearest shopping mall to pick out some gifts for delivery. Then they headed straight for the Zhu family's house.
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
Shi Jing's phone suddenly vibrated in his hand. He looked up at the screen and saw that it was Jiang Jingwen calling, so he quickly answered it.
"Hey, Xiao Jiang."
Jiang Jingwen: "Shi Jing, I've taken care of things at home. Where should I go to find you now?"
Shi Jing: "Why don't you just drive straight to the Zhu family? We're planning to go there to find Mingyue's second and third brothers."
“Okay!” Jiang Jingwen’s voice was clearly tired, but she still responded to Shi Jing without hesitation, “I’ll go get the car now, and we’ll meet at the entrance in a bit.”
Shi Jing: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, he turned to Zhu Mingyue and asked, "Mingyue, have you spoken to your second and third brothers?"
Zhu Mingyue: "I called them. As soon as they heard you were coming, they immediately ran back to their room to change. They acted like they were welcoming a future brother-in-law."
"Ha, this is how a normal older brother should treat his sister's boyfriend!" Shi Jing rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Unlike Zhu Xingye, who actually had such filthy thoughts about his own sister..."
"He may look presentable, but his heart is already twisted!"
“Sigh…” Zhu Mingyue couldn’t help but sigh when this was mentioned. “My older brother is normal in other aspects, but his views on love are so distorted that they’re almost abnormal. Although I have accepted this fact, I still can’t understand why his feelings for Chaochao have changed.”
"Where exactly did things go wrong?"
“...Actually, the problem didn’t lie with Zhu Xingye.” Li Weiwan suddenly spoke up.
"What?" Shi Jing turned to look at him. "It didn't happen to Zhu Xingye? Then it happened to whom? To me?"
Zhu Mingyue: "Is it still on me?"
“Heh…that’s not what I meant.” Li Weiwan laughed helplessly. “What I meant was that Zhu Xingye became like this not because his psychology or thoughts became distorted, but because my experiment overcorrected him. I stripped away the hatred and murderous intent in his emotions too thoroughly, resulting in large blank spaces in his emotional landscape. These blank spaces were not properly filled, so his remaining kindness and tolerance spontaneously deformed and distorted until they filled the blank spaces.”
"His love for Jinzhao was actually a chance occurrence. If love hadn't come, the feelings that arose might have been an excessive desire for control, or an extreme perfectionism that he only had for Jinzhao."
"These situations happen randomly; love is just a random outcome."
"..."
Li Weiwan explained a lot, but Zhu Mingyue and Shi Jing didn't understand a single word.
"Brother Li, what are you babbling about?" Shi Jing frowned, his eyes full of incomprehension as he looked at Li Weiwan.
Li Weiwan sighed in annoyance, her face full of worry, and said, "I forgot that you haven't regained your memories yet... It's okay if you don't understand, just take it as me saying something casually, anyway you will understand in the future."
"...It's that same old excuse again." Zhu Mingyue tilted her head and looked Li Weiwan up and down, the more she looked at him, the less he seemed like an earthling.
"Brother Li, is your hometown some kind of planet of punk fashion?"
Li Weiwan: "...No, my hometown is on the Non-Mainstream Star, and I am the originator of the Non-Mainstream."
"..."
Shi Jing and Zhu Mingyue tacitly ignored him.
Twenty minutes later, the Audi R7 came to a smooth stop at the gate of the Zhu family villa.
"Bright moon!"
Jiang Jingwen just got out of the Porsche on the other side.
Zhu Mingyue waved to her, and when she jogged over, she grabbed her arm and said, "Let's go, my second and third brothers are already waiting in the living room."
"Phew..." Shi Jing picked up the gift in her hand and took a few deep breaths with some trepidation.
"I'm impressed. Why do you seem a little nervous?"
Li Weiwan gave him a push on the shoulder, herding him into the yard like a duck: "It would be abnormal if you weren't nervous. Come on, let's go see your brother-in-law."
In the living room, the two brothers-in-law were sitting on the sofa, scratching their heads.
"Second Brother, is there anything wrong with my appearance?" Zhu Ning adjusted her clothes five times in ten minutes, and after that, she went to fix her hair, afraid that there was anything wrong with her appearance.
Zhu Qian was busy checking himself and only glanced at him a few times when she heard this, then nodded perfunctorily: "No problem, serious yet handsome."
"What about me? Do my new glasses match this outfit?"
"Perfect!" Zhu Ning commented seriously, "He's simply a hypocrite, a refined scoundrel in human form!"
"...Can't you speak properly?" Zhu Qian stared at him speechlessly. "If you can't speak properly, go eat two rat poison pills and cosplay as a rat."
Zhu Ning: "You're the one who's going to cosplay as a rat! Your whole family cosplays as rats!"
Zhu Qian: "My whole family doesn't include you?"
"I..." Zhu Ning was instantly rendered speechless.
"Second Brother, Third Brother! We're here!"
The next second, Zhu Mingyue's voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.
The two brothers, who had just been at loggerheads, exchanged a glance and stood up from the sofa at the same time.
"Second Brother, Third Brother." Zhu Mingyue stepped into the living room and greeted them with a smile.
"Yes." They responded gently, then looked into the distance, landing on Shi Jing behind Zhu Mingyue.
Shi Jing searched for Zhu Jinzhao for a whole day and night, and was in such a hurry to see Zhu Ning and Zhu Qian that she didn't even have time to go home and change her clothes.
He was still wearing the clothes from the day before; although they were a bit wrinkled, they were well-matched. Coupled with his handsome face, tall and upright figure, and excellent demeanor, the outfit looked flawless on him.
"Second brother, third brother."
He greeted us politely and well-behavedly.
