d energy, resentment, and the death throes of these creatures all contribute to making the Great Corpse King increasingly ferocious."“This cave is big and dark, there’s no way to defend against anythi...When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a room in a Siheyuan courtyard.
It should have been my brother who carried me back. How long have I been lying here Just as I was about to call out to my brother, I heard voices from outside.
My brother and I live in the rooms on either side of the main house. Our doors face each other, just across from the living room.
The door had curtains, so they couldn't see each other, but they could hear the sounds outside.
I heard Lin Yanqin comforting him.
Comfort my brother My brother, someone so mentally strong, needs comfort
I stretched my limbs slightly and quietly jumped out of bed, pressing against the door and peeking through the curtain.
My brother hugged his arms, leaning against the doorway of the main hall. Lin Yanqin stood outside the doorway, the two of them very close.
Miss Lin raised her hand and cupped his face, pinching it gently and saying, “Yunfan, Qiao is definitely fine. She's not an ordinary person; there will be many ghosts and spirits looking after her in the unseen world. Don't worry so much…"
My brother lowered his eyes and smiled at her, "Did you go blind Which eye saw me frowning I'm just too lazy to talk."
"Why are you so reluctant to speak Don't you want to talk to me" Lin Yanqin pouted, looking wronged and muttering: "I have no idea that Auntie would set us up with such a troublesome task... I'm sorry... for making you run around..."
"Sorry for what" My brother chuckled, poking her forehead and pushing her away. Then, using his long arms to his advantage, he reached out and pressed down on Lin Yanqin's head.
"You little brat, you owe me an apology. If it weren't for you provoking me, would I have to go through all this trouble"
He spoke with a smile and his eyes held an unreadable expression.
Lin Yanqin's eyes flashed with nervousness, and I knew what she was worried about.
— I'm worried that my brother will say he's giving up.
Although our family is not short of small money, we are still struggling to make ends meet with large expenses.
But when it comes to social strata, there's a huge difference.
The Lin family is a family that stands at the top of the pyramid, while our family, in a way, is at the very bottom — because many things we do are shrouded in darkness.
The things in the "basement" of the grandfather, first need to be "cleaned", and some things need to be donated to the country in a low-key manner under personal names.
Some things are prohibited from being auctioned, precious cultural relics. Those are national treasures; once they appear in the world, they will bring disaster and misfortune. So, the grandfather hid them in the basement, letting them never see the light of day.
But now I can't, I need to launder the Mu family's fortune and turn it into legitimate business. I've already started researching these industries, and now that I'm in the imperial capital, I need to make time to meet more people in this line of work.
The most realistic purpose for this is simply to —
"Not for you yet." My brother said to Lin Yanqin with a smile.
" ... For me" Lin Yanqin was a little anxious. She reached out and grabbed my brother's wrist, not understanding what he wanted to say.
My brother just pushed her head against his body, and she was pressed against him. Lin Yanqin isn't short; she's taller than me by half a head, at least 5 feet 7 inches tall, but in front of my brother, she seemed so petite.
"To marry you, of course! What else do you think I'm doing" My brother said with a smile.
Lin Yanqin pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "It's fine if you don't marry me. Anyway, I'll just cling to you."
She paused, looked at my brother, and said very straightforwardly, "Go ahead, you wouldn't dare kick me..."
"Hahaha..." My brother laughed and let go of my hand.
The next second, Lin Yanqin rushed into my brother's arms. My brother had already been prepared to catch her and hugged her naturally.
I'm a little envious of their embrace.
Lin Yanqin's arms could tightly hug her brother's shoulders from behind, and her brother could also hold her entirely in his embrace.
Inseparable, their love felt effortless and unspoken, a deep connection existed between them.
Two people who look completely different, yet their emotional intelligence is so compatible, they understand each other with just a glance.
Nature's design
This is truly a match made in heaven. It has nothing to do with upbringing or family background, but purely the compatibility of emotions and bodies. It's as smooth as water flowing.
Lin Yanqin raised her head and kissed her brother's lips: "I can help too, don't treat me like a useless person, okay"
"Oh my, Miss. Be honest with me and don't cause any trouble, I'd be burning incense in gratitude! You wouldn't need to help me… Just protect yourself and don't get involved. If you could offer us some connections and resources, I'd be eternally grateful."
Lin Yanqin smiled, trying hard to purse her lips: "Then, then what do I need to do Just tell me directly."
My brother gave a mischievous grin: “Need you to back up a bit more, then light it You not planning on going home tonight”
Pffft…
I, I couldn't hold back.
My brother's ear twitched, he heard it!
He glared at me with blazing eyes and roared, "Xiao Qiao, Zu Zong! How could you wake up without saying a word! Do you know how worried I was!"
"Hmph! Don't try to fool me… worried about me Didn't you just forget to coax Miss Lin Seeing the two of you so affectionate, how could I possibly have the nerve to interrupt" I quickly stepped forward.
My brother let go of Lin Yanqin and walked over to pinch my cheeks, holding my hands and shaking them: "Are you alright Are you uncomfortable You've been asleep for three days!"
Three days...
"No wonder... I feel my limbs going weak..." I quickly sat down on the chair.
"Limbs going soft Nonsense! If you haven't eaten, wouldn't they be soft! Hurry up—"
Hurry up
Shouldn't I be allowed to rest properly What should I do quickly instead
My brother glared at me and said, "Hurry up and go pull the milk! Don't let it back up! What are those two little ancestors eating! Grandma is in a hurry! She stews soup for you every day, I'll go get you some soup..."
He left hurriedly after speaking, leaving me speechless and staring at the sky. I'm basically a food storage unit now! Grandma thinks formula is particularly unsafe and wants me to keep breastfeeding for a while longer, saying the longer I breastfeed, the better.
Fortunately, Guihe and Younan don't discriminate. They don't care if I sneakily feed them directly, or take it out and feed them with a bottle, or occasionally give them two meals of formula, they don't mind at all.
As long as they are full, they sleep, seemingly growing at an incredible rate.
The two babies are now very skilled at rolling over. They don't sit very well, but occasionally they can prop themselves up against the blanket for a moment, which melts everyone's heart.
My brother said grandma found the meaning of life. She's busy taking care of the two babies all day long and doing a great job. We worried she was tired, but she had a radiant smile on her face and said she wasn't tired at all. She said it was accumulating virtue and good fortune. Just thinking about the future, with two "little angels" calling her grandma, she felt like she could live to be 100 years old.
Seeing that everything at home was fine, I said to my older brother, “Let’s go solve the thing Aunt Lin mentioned Lin Yanhua said to wait until the other party is desperate, and I guess it’s almost time.”
My brother nodded. "Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that. I've already made contact. If you want to go, we can leave tonight—"hey were to report it immediately and refrain from taking any action without authorization.Soon, Officer Lu received a bloody "accidental death" case at his station.
