Yan Qirui was not yet back when Yan Yixing was talking about Yan Xiluo and his identity, so he was naturally very shocked.
Yan Qirui could never have imagined that his sister would have a violent side? And she even sounded so domineering?
"Fourth brother, you've just missed the topic we were discussing. My sister is the leader of the Hell Island Gang in Country Y, and fifth brother is the leader of the Dark Night Gang in Country Y."
Yan Yuze directly shared the content of their discussion with Yan Qirui.
The amount of information was overwhelming, and Yan Qirui was a little confused, unable to process it all at once.
"No way??? My sister and fifth brother... are both gang leaders? This... do they even match? One is sensible and well-behaved, the other is lively and adorable..."
Yan Yixing's image in Yan Qirui's mind has always been that of a lively and cute girl, even a little crazy, but he never said it out loud.
He found it hard to imagine that the two people in front of him could be people of such status; it felt like he couldn't connect with them.
His eyes widened in disbelief; this was even harder to accept than when he had just heard Yan Xiluo say that she had knocked someone flying.
"Pfft~ Did I hear that right? You think Fifth Brother is lively and adorable? Hahahaha!"
Yan Yuze couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. Sometimes being a little crazy can also be called lively and cute.
"Among the five brothers, those two are the closest. Their friendship dates back to when they were still babies. Naturally, the fourth brother is more protective of the fifth brother."
Yan Chenyu joked, but it was also true. The two of them had been together all the time since they were young, so their relationship was definitely deeper than with their other brothers.
"So, Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother are twins?"
Yan Xiluo was pleasantly surprised, but also somewhat puzzled...
"Yes, that's why they've spent more time together since they were little than we have."
Yan Yuze took a sip of tea and then ate a piece of pastry.
Yan Xiluo only learned today that Yan Qirui and Yan Yixing are twins; it's the first time she's heard of it.
"Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother... they don't look alike... they don't look alike, and their personalities are completely different. Could Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother be fraternal twins?"
That's the only possibility, right? After all, identical twins usually look quite alike, but Yan Qirui and Yan Yixing don't look alike at all; one looks more like their father, and the other looks more like their mother.
"Yes, when Mom and Dad found out they were fraternal twins, they were hoping one of them would be a girl, but they ended up with two boys. So, later on, Mom and Dad still wanted to have a daughter, and that's how you came to be."
Yan Chenyu still remembers that when she was a child, her parents had been hoping for a daughter since Yan Yuze was born, but their dream of having a daughter was not fulfilled until Yan Xiluo was born.
"So that's how it is... It was my parents' persistence that brought me into being."
Yan Xiluo found it strange that many families favored sons over daughters, but her family had so many children in order to have a daughter.
"Yes, that's how we got our little sister."
Yan Chenyu thought Yan Xiluo's expression was adorable and unconsciously patted her head again.
Afterwards, the five siblings chatted on the balcony for a while.

On the plane
"Excuse me, could you please bring this lady a blanket?"
Yan Mingxuan noticed that Mu Ran had fallen asleep, and as always, he couldn't help but care about her.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
The flight attendant wore her standard smile and then took a blanket from the cabinet to cover Mu Ran with it.
Yan Mingxuan looked at the sleeping Mu Ran and remembered their time in high school...
"Ah Xuan, how about we make a bet?"
Three days before the final exams of the first semester of senior year, Mu Ran suddenly found Yan Mingxuan and made a bet with him.
"What?"
Yan Mingxuan frowned slightly, wondering what Mu Ran was up to. But he was still eager to find out.
"If I get a better grade than you in the final exam, you can change your phone wallpaper to my picture. If I get a worse grade than you, I can change my phone wallpaper to your picture, okay?"
What Yan Mingxuan didn't know was that Mu Ran thought that if she lost, she would not only change her phone's wallpaper to Yan Mingxuan's, but also confess her feelings to him.
Because Mu Ran consistently ranked second in academics, while Yan Mingxuan remained firmly in first place, the bet was merely a pretext for her confession; it was just a way for her to muster the courage she wanted.
If she wins, she won't confess her feelings; she'll let fate decide. It's better than letting fate decide her destiny by flipping a coin. At least she's sure she won't win.
But what Mu Ran didn't know was that Yan Mingxuan deliberately lowered his test score so that he could legitimately use her photo as his screensaver, all so that she could win.
Therefore, Yan Mingxuan, who always came in first place, got second place that time, with Mu Ran ahead of him.
"good."
Yan Mingxuan agreed readily without the slightest hesitation.
"Then let's make it a pinky promise?"
Mu Ran was still worried, so she had to make Yan Mingxuan pinky swear to her before she was sure. After that, she happily ran home. At home, she often fantasized about the scene of her confessing to Yan Mingxuan, even though she didn't know if he would reject her.
Thinking of the bet, Yan Mingxuan couldn't help but press a button on his phone. The screen lit up with Mu Ran's photo, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
But soon his expression turned sour, and he became depressed.
They say graduation season is breakup season. Many couples can't get through this phase and give up for various reasons.
But he refused to believe it. He planned to confess his feelings to Mu Ran on graduation day. He wanted to use other people's breakup season as the beginning of their relationship, so that he wouldn't be afraid of breaking up after graduation.
He had prepared for a long time in advance and even had a necklace custom-made, intending to give it to Mu Ran on the day he confessed his feelings.
Just as he excitedly ran downstairs to find Mu Ran, he witnessed that scene...
Mu Ran hugged another boy, and the ground was covered with rose petals, forming a heart shape. Next to them was a bunch of red roses...
The people around were clapping and screaming wildly, chanting "Get together!"
Seeing this, Yan Mingxuan was momentarily distracted, and the bouquet of blue roses he was holding fell to the ground. His hands trembled, his body trembled, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He couldn't stand it any longer... He hadn't even confessed his feelings before he was dumped... It was over before it even started, and he ran back frantically, running and running.
She ran to a deserted place and burst into tears, crying her heart out.
I opened the gift box and looked at the necklace that I hadn't given away...
Later, Yan Mingxuan went to study in country M, and Mu Ran went to country Y.
As Yan Mingxuan recalled his past regrets, tears inexplicably streamed down his face.
He regretted it, regretted not confessing his feelings sooner. Would he have had even a sliver of a chance? Would he have been the one with Mu Ran?
Later, he saw Mu Ran's Moments on his friend's WeChat, where she frequently posted photos with a man, and he knew there was no chance for them...
