Ji Ying was the first to be called "sister," was overjoyed! Hahahaha, this is a treatment none of you have!! Aren't you jealous?!
" Ji Ying! You're going to die!" Ji Xingyao suddenly rushed towards Ji Ying, wailing, "Little brother, you're not the first one I called him!"
I'm so angry!
Ji Ying grabbed Ji Xingyao's arm and spun around to throw him over her shoulder. With a loud thud, Ji Ying Ji Xingyao thrown to the ground.
Just as Ji Xingyao was about to get up, Ji Xingxu quietly stuck out his foot, and the next second there was another loud bang.
This time, Ji Xingyao landed face-first.
" Ji Xingxu!!!! You're trying to murder me!!!" Without even looking, the only one who would stick their leg out to trip him at a time like this was his dog-like twin brother.
Ji Xingxu glanced disdainfully at his physically strong but mentally challenged twin brother and said, "Did you see that?"
"Do I need to see?! I can tell even with my toes that it was you, you bastard, who did this!!"
"That means there's no evidence. So don't slander me."
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Ming Yi rolled up her sleeves and gave each of them a sharp rebuke. "Both of you, shut up!!!"
After giving it to her, Ming Yi suddenly realized the situation, awkwardly brushed her hair aside, and said, "Um... An'an..."
Ji Nanshu noticed Ming Yi's unease and apprehension, and chuckled softly, saying, "Is this my nickname?"
"Yes! Yes!" Ming Yi kept rubbing her wrists. "You... you don't like it?"
"No, it sounds great."
Ji Nanshu didn't know what to say at this moment. In his previous life, his master and mistress took him in and raised him, but they were murdered after only a few years. Since then, he had been alone. After arriving in this world, the only person he was close to was Chu Mo.
This feeling... does indeed feel somewhat unfamiliar.
Ji Xianzhi walked to Ming Yi's side, hugged his sobbing wife, and said solemnly, " An'an... please allow me to call you that. You can look at this paternity test report... please forgive us for having this test done without consulting us. But we are certain that you are our child."
"We've been searching for you for nineteen years... Your mother... has also been blaming herself for nineteen years..."
"So, child... I'm sorry... I've made you suffer alone out there for so long..."
Ji Xianzhi choked up as he spoke. He and his wife had indeed been blaming themselves for this ever since. Every year on their youngest son's birthday, his wife would stay alone in the room they had prepared for him, sometimes for the entire day.
Ji Nanshu didn't know what to say. He wasn't their real child, so how could he accept or reject the situation on behalf of the original owner?
This part of the story was completely absent from the original owner's memories of their previous life...
etc--
He remembered that in his previous life Bai Nanyu had received help from a powerful figure thanks to the ring he had retrieved from the Bai Family. Could this powerful figure be the Ji Family?
Thinking of this, Ji Nanshu couldn't help but ask, "When I went missing, did you have anything that could prove my identity?"
Old Master Ji said, "A snake-shaped jade ring. Every child in our Ji Family has a zodiac ring made before birth. You had one on you when you lost it."
Ji Xingyao interjected, "Then what's wrong with you, Mom and Dad? You've had to rely on my second brother to find our youngest brother all these years?"
After these words were spoken, the whole family fell silent.
That's really strange.
Is Yao Di/ An'an blaming them?
Before meeting the Ji Family, Chu Mo had roughly told him about this matter; it wasn't surprising that they couldn't find it...
Ji Nanshu looked at the silent family and said, "It's not surprising. If someone deliberately used mystical arts to conceal their presence and didn't want you to find them, you indeed wouldn't be able to."
"Mystical arts?!" Ji Xingyu frowned. " An'an, are you saying that you've been abducted for so many years because someone is deliberately targeting our family?"
"Indeed." Ji Nanshu had just carefully examined the family's faces. If one ignored the wisp of black aura between their brows, they were all people blessed with good fortune.
Logically speaking, even if someone wanted to do something bad to them, it would only result in a close call without any real harm.
The original owner should have been found and returned long ago.
Old Master Ji: " An'an... none of that matters anymore, your return is the most important thing."
"Yes!!" Ji Xingyao nodded affirmatively.
Ji Xianzhi: " An'an, do you have any other plans after you finish recording the show? If not, how about coming home with us?"
Ji Nanshu lowered his eyes and pinched Chu Mo beside him, unsure how to respond.
Chu Mo winced in pain. He grasped Ji Nanshu's hand and said, "Grandpa Ji, Ji Shu, Aunt Ming, Nanshu might not be able to process all this right now. I'll take him back to Hai City first... is that alright?"
"Good!"
And so the matter was settled.
After Chu Mo left with Ji Nanshu, the Ji Family family belatedly realized something, which was—
What's the relationship between this Chu Family boy and my youngest brother/ An'an?! They seem so close!
After returning to Hai City.
Chu Mo kissed Ji Nanshu's forehead and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little unaccustomed to it." Ji Nanshu sat by the French windows, hugging a plush toy. "I just didn't expect... my family would be here too, and I didn't expect... them to be so looking forward to it."
The one I'm hoping for is the original owner of this body, not him.
He could avenge the original owner of this body, but how could he feel at ease enjoying the familial affection that should have been the original owner's?
"It doesn't matter what you do. I'll always be here." Chu Mo hugged Ji Nanshu from behind, gently resting his chin on the top of his head, and softly comforted him.
Ji Nanshu turned around, cupped Chu Mo's face in her hands, and said condescendingly, "Prove it to me."
"Good."
Chu Mo pecked Ji Nanshu on the lips again and said, "Want to... go to sleep?"
"Then... carry me upstairs..."
"Good..."
Chu Mo simply carried her in a princess carry and took her back to the bedroom...
In a daze, he seemed to see the original Ji Nanshu.
They were very close, Ji Nanshu reached out to touch them, but he couldn't reach them no matter what he did.
"This is our first time meeting..." the original owner said with a smile, "You're so kind..."
Ji Nanshu asked the original owner, "Where did you go? Why am I here?"
The original owner tilted his head, seemingly even more puzzled than Ji Nanshu: "I haven't gone anywhere. I've been here the whole time."
Before Ji Nanshu could speak, the original owner added, "You've been here the whole time!"
"Don't go!!"
Ji Nanshu suddenly sat up in bed and shouted loudly.
Chu Mo turned on the light, hugged Ji Nanshu, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Ji Nanshu looked blank, then shook his head, then nodded. "I don't know either..."
"It's alright... don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Um."
Oops, I'm so sorry (╥_╥) I set the time for this chapter wrong... I set it for tomorrow... and only just got around to it (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
