Rebirth from the Ashes

Shen Xi got up and approached Fu Qingye with a smile. “Brother.”

The word “Brother” was enough for Fu Qingli and Fu Qingxuan to turn into green-eyed monsters. They exchanged glances and looked at Fu Qingye with envy.

Fu Qingxuan clenched his fists. His little sister never called him that. He pestered Shen Xi for a long time yesterday, but she refused to say the magic word. Yet here she was, addressing Qingye as her brother so naturally.

Fu Qingli might have kept a blank face the whole time, but he turned sour inside. Was it all his own doing? He was lucky that Qingxuan shared the same fate. At least he could feel a little better about himself.

“Sister.” Fu Qingye spread his arms to softly and gently hold her. It was hard to fight back the tears.

Even though he had time to adjust his feelings since finding out about it yesterday, Fu Qingye thought he was ready to face her. Yet, his emotions still got the better of him.

Shen Xi could feel his body and voice shaking. She uttered with a smile, “Brother, I’m sure you haven’t eaten on your way here. Come and have breakfast.”

Fu Qingxuan mentioned that Fu Qingye went to shoot a magazine cover at a polar region. Since the place was less accessible, Fu Qingye must have rushed here in record time without any rest.

“The food’s still warm. Hurry up and eat something.” Yun Jinping beckoned him over. It must be tough on Ye to venture so far and shoot at such a cold place. Surely, he must have gone through hell to get back here.

Fu Qingye held Shen Xi’s hand to walk over. There was only one seat left at the table. It was clearly Shen Xi’s seat. Standing next to the seat, he glanced at Fu Qingxuan.

Although Fu Qingxuan glared at him, he compliantly gave up his seat. Seeing that Qingye was the first among them to meet their sister and had traveled from afar, Fu Qingxuan decided to give him a break.

Song Wenye ran off to bring a chair in.

Ruan Sisi stood up and gave away her seat as she swallowed her last piece of bao. “I’m full. Anyone’s welcome to this seat.”

“Ican stand.” Fu Qingxuan did not want to sit there because the seat was far away from Shen Xi. He would rather stand right next to her.

By then, Song Wenye had carried a chair over, but no one wanted to sit on it. Glancing at Fu Qingxuan who was enjoying a bowl of tofu curd across the room, Song Wenye sat down on the chair she brought over.

Paying no attention to his surroundings, Li Yuan added. “Can I?”

It was hard for Shangguan Yangiu and Fu Handing to decline since Li Yuan brought it up. It was not like they could voice their discontent out loud. Hence, they gave a nod and let out a forceful smile.

Shen Xi was nervous and overwhelmed at the thought of going alone. Li Yuan’s words put her at ease. She smiled sweetly at him.

She would feel better and more at home if Li Yuan came with her.

That was a good idea. Li Yuan would not be warmly welcomed by the Fu brothers at whatever time at all. Well, just look at the murderous looks on their faces.

Thus, it was concluded that Shen Xi and Li Yuan would be returning together with the Fu family.

It was half-past eight by the time they were done with breakfast.

Shen Xi informed the family before heading off with Ruan Sisi. In fact, she fled as a few of them scrambled over who was to drive her there. It was a terrifying sight. Having too many brothers was not a good thing.

Fu Qingli gave Fu Qingye and Fu Qingxuan a dangerous look before scoffing. “You’re such eyesores.”

Shen Xi did not reject him from driving her yesterday. With the two of them around, they began to fight over her. In the end, she ditched them and ran off with someone else.

Fu Qingye looked daggers at Fu Qingxuan. “You scared our sister away.”

With no one to picka fight with, Fu Qingxuan glared and snorted at Li Yuan as he stormed away.

Li Yuan pulled a long face. These boys were acting like a hungry pack of wolves as though they had never seen a sister in their lives. Did they not know their overenthusiasm would only push his fair lady away?

Yu Yuanxi was the most level-headed. Amused and helpless by the situation, he shook his head and met Song Wenye’s bright eyes. He blissfully muttered, “Granny will be home soon. Let’s pick her up.”

Lil’ Ye participated in a raffle on a variety show last week and won a five-day trip for two to Europe. It was an all-expenses-paid trip that came with a private tour guide. They were going to forfeit the prize since they could not go, but Granny thought it would be a waste. So, she set out with her best friend
