Chapter 103 (Updated 1031)
One hundred and three:
At lunchtime, Mu Zheng picked up Qin Cheng and Ye Qingxi as promised.
He took his two children to eat nearby.
Qin Cheng didn't see his mother and asked in confusion, "Where's Mom?"
“Mom has a client in another city, so she went on a business trip,” Mu Zheng said. “She originally wanted to come and see you before leaving, but time was too tight, and she didn’t want to disturb your class, so she left first.”
Qin Cheng nodded, showing his understanding.
“There’s been a problem with the overseas project that Dad was in charge of before. After we have dinner, Dad will have to go there again. So you’ll probably have to stay at Grandpa’s house for the next few days,” Mu Zheng continued.
He has always been a reliable and authoritative figure at home.
Furthermore, since such things had indeed happened before, Qin Cheng did not doubt his words.
"Okay," Qin Cheng replied.
Living at Grandpa's house is good too, so he can stay with Ye Qingxi all the time.
We eat together, go to school together, come home from school together, and even shower and sleep together.
Qin Cheng had always hoped that Ye Qingxi was his younger brother, so that they could see each other every day.
Although he isn't now, as long as he lives at his grandfather's house, we can see each other every day!
Therefore, although Qin Cheng was somewhat reluctant to leave, he was generally quite relaxed and happy.
"Good boy." Mu Zheng patted his hair.
Qin Cheng picked up a piece of pork rib for him, saying, "Dad, eat more. You won't find such delicious pork ribs when you go abroad."
"Okay," Mu Zheng said with a smile.
After finishing his ribs, he served Qin Cheng and Ye Qingxi some food, looking at them quietly and gently.
After school in the afternoon, Mu Feng, Mu Shaoting, and Mu Shaoyan picked up Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng and took them to the hospital for their physical examination.
Qin Cheng asked in confusion, "Why the sudden physical examination?"
"Because I won a prize, which is five family health checkups, so there are exactly five of us," Mu Shaoting coaxed him. "Just think of it as your aunt treating you to a day trip to the hospital."
Qin Cheng: ?
Hospital? Day trip?
Qin Cheng felt this was not a good place for tourism.
However, since Mu Shaoting was an elder, Qin Cheng had no further questions after she said that, and obediently sat in the car and went to the hospital with them.
The medical examination results came out faster than Ye Qingxi expected. All five of them were in good health, especially Mu Feng, who didn't look like a man in his sixties at all.
As expected of an old villain, Ye Qingxi thought, truly old but still vigorous!
Mu Shaowu's physical examination results also came back, and there were no problems.
Ye Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the original book had only set up a terminal illness for Qin Luan so that his uncle would be separated from his wife and children. As for the others, they were probably arranged to die in other ways, so they were not linked to terminal illnesses.
It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
After the physical examination, Qin Cheng went home, packed the donuts into the cat carrier, and took them to Mu Feng's house.
He placed the donut in a separate empty room, along with cat food, cat litter, and cat toys.
The cotton candy smelled the scent of its kind and curiously squatted at the door, meowing as if it wanted to see its kind.
The donuts seemed to have caught a whiff of it too. After exploring the new territory, they ran to the door and sniffed through the crack in the door.
"Should we let them meet?" Qin Cheng and Ye Qingxi discussed.
Ye Qingxi watched as the donut stood up along the door crack and started prying at the door. After thinking for a moment, she felt that she might as well give it a try.
Although under normal circumstances, two cats should be kept apart for a few days when they meet.
However, donuts and marshmallows grew up together and don't seem to dislike each other, so you can try it out first. If they really start breathing on each other, then it's not too late to separate them.
He carefully opened the door, and the two cats met instantly.
The marshmallow walked up to the donut in a friendly manner and touched its nose.
Donut then brought its furry head close to it, sticking out its little tongue, wanting to lick its fur.
Cotton Candy refused and turned to run down the corridor.
Donut immediately chased after it, determined to lick its little brother's fur.
Ye Qingxi was both amused and exasperated.
"It even recognizes its younger brother," Qin Cheng said happily. "They don't fight."
Ye Qingxi was also pleasantly surprised.
He and Qin Cheng had been raising these two cats for three months. He thought that when they met again, since they were both male cats, they would not like each other. Unexpectedly, they were still as close as when they were kittens.
Ye Qingxi turned to look at Qin Cheng, hoping that when they grew up, they could still maintain the same close relationship as when they were children, just like Cotton Candy and Donut.
With Qin Cheng's arrival, Ye Qingxi shifted her focus to him, fearing that he would feel lonely without her by his side and might then think of his parents, thus discovering Qin Luan's illness.
Therefore, he had to suspend his plans to accompany Mu Shaoyan to private tutoring sessions.
"So I can't go to Brother Duan Yi's house with you tomorrow," Ye Qingxi explained to Mu Shaoyan.
Mu Shaoyan had long wanted to stop him from going.
It's so cold outside now, especially at night.
Mu Shaoyan felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to part with him.
Ye Qingxi was very insistent on this matter.
Mu Shaoyan had no choice but to let him continue to come and pick him up.
Mu Shaoyan was overjoyed that Ye Qingxi was going to stay at home with Qin Cheng.
Kids should stay home on a cold day, drinking hot beverages, cuddling their cats, and playing this and that with their best buddies.
"It's alright." Mu Shaoyan hugged him and said, "Xiao Cheng is the closest in age to you. It would be very awkward if you weren't there, so you really have to stay at home. Besides, his mother is sick right now, so he needs someone to be with him even more."
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Then Uncle, please tell Brother Duan Yi for me tomorrow that I will go over after Brother Qin Cheng leaves."
Mu Shaoyan laughed, "You keep calling him both Brother Duan Yi and Brother Qin Cheng. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were the same age."
Ye Qingxi: ...
You've focused on the key points...
What else can we do?
Could he still call Duan Yi "Uncle"?
Duan Yi is so young.
If it weren't for Mu Shaoyan's seniority, given his age and appearance, Ye Qingxi felt she should also call him "brother."
“Then I’ll call you brother from now on,” Ye Qingxi said deliberately.
Mu Shaoyan: ? ? ? ! ! !
Mu Shaoyan refused, "You said before that I'm your only uncle! So uncles are special!"
Ye Qingxi smiled.
He hugged Mu Shaoyan, nestled in his arms, and said sweetly, "Then you are indeed special."
“I call Qin Cheng brother, Duan Yi brother, not you brother.”
Mu Shaoyan pinched his cheek, easily coaxed by his little nephew.
"Anyway, you're not allowed to call anyone else 'uncle'! And you're not allowed to call me 'brother' either!"
"Okay." Ye Qingxi smiled and looked at him.
After speaking with Mu Shaoyan, he returned to Mu Zheng's room to find Qin Cheng.
Qin Cheng had finished his homework. Seeing him return, he said cheerfully, "Let's take a shower then."
Ye Qingxi: ...
It seems his older brother has recently developed a deep love for bathing him.
What can Ye Qingxi do?
Ye Qingxi could only nod, once again experiencing the supreme VIP customer experience from her little brother.
Duan Yi was a little puzzled when he didn't see Ye Qingxi during his tutoring session the following evening.
Where is Xiaoxi?
“He can’t come anytime soon.” Mu Shaoyan walked into his bedroom and sat down in a chair. “My older brother’s son is here, so he has to stay home with him.”
"You know, he's the most popular person in our family."
Duan Yi: ...He knows now.
However, "your older brother's son? Your other nephew?"
"Um."
"Why have I never heard you mention this before?"
Mu Shaoyan scratched his head. "My older brother moved out after he got married, so Xiao Cheng doesn't live with me either. We're not as close as Xiao Xi."
"Didn't your second brother move out?"
“My second brother isn’t married.” Mu Shaoyan said matter-of-factly.
Duan Yi: ? ? ? !!!
"And who is Xiao Xi?!"
Mu Shaoyan was speechless. "Xiao Xi's surname is Ye, and my second brother's surname is Mu. They can't possibly be father and son!"
Duan Yi: "...My mother's surname is Duan, and my surname is Duan."
Mu Shaoyan: ...I forgot about that.
“Xiao Xi is the grandson of my dad’s friend. His dad passed away early, his grandma also passed away, and his mom had already remarried and started a new family. His grandpa used to take care of him, but this year his grandpa became seriously ill and didn’t make it, so he entrusted Xiao Xi to my dad. My dad then had my brother recognize him and make him his son.”
"Didn't I tell you about this?" Mu Shaoyan looked at him.
Duan Yi: ...
"Obviously not, Young Master Mu."
Mu Shaoyan chuckled awkwardly twice, "Now you know."
After he finished speaking, he changed the subject to cover up his embarrassment, saying, "Actually, I think my dad's decision was a bit hasty. You know my second brother, he's a top star, so busy, how can he take good care of the child? It would be better to let Xiaoxi recognize me as his father, and I can take care of him. I'm sure I can make him happy and well."
Duan Yi: ? ? ?
Duan Yi: ...
Are you sure it wasn't him who made you happy and well?
Mu Shaoyan: ? ? ? ! ! !
Mu Shaoyan was speechless. "Why can't I make him happy and well?!"
Duan Yi chuckled, "You should focus on your studies first."
"You? Bringing Xiaoxi along? Your second brother is a top star! He earns at least tens of millions a year, sometimes hundreds of millions. And you? Your dad gives you pocket money. If I were your dad, I'd make your second brother his dad too."
Mu Shaoyan: ...
Mu Shaoyan was so angry that he turned around and started studying.
He can't stand hearing that kind of talk right now!
It's just money, isn't it?!
He'll definitely be richer than his second brother in the future!
Then he can buy whatever he wants for his baby!
His baby can have as much pocket money as he wants!
What Mu Shaowu can give, he can give too!
"How do I do this?" Mu Shaoyan asked gruffly, pointing at the exam paper.
Qin Luan's surgery was scheduled for a week later. Ye Qingxi waited patiently, wanting to see her with Qin Cheng after her surgery.
However, before the surgery, he unexpectedly encountered someone he had never expected.
That afternoon, Ye Qingxi was chatting and laughing with her friends as she left the school gate after school when she heard someone call out, "Xiao Xi."
Ye Qingxi turned around, and the person waved to him.
He was wearing a long black coat, gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was very black, with the ends a little long, almost touching the collar of his coat.
Seeing Ye Qingxi looking over, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled, appearing very gentle and easygoing.
"Wow, so handsome!" Ye Qingxi thought. "He looks kind of familiar. Who is he?"
Have they met before?
Could it be that "Ye Qingxi" met him before he transmigrated here?
Ye Qingxi was puzzled.
However, he had already seen Li Wei, so he wasn't afraid. He said goodbye to Pei Liang and the others and walked up to him.
