After saying that, Xie Zhuzhou raised his eyes and looked helplessly at his two older brothers who were trying to avoid him out of guilt.
My second brother is unusually quiet these days; what if he suddenly starts making a scene?
Wait a minute, he's just causing trouble, what is he worried about?
There was nothing for him to worry about, and besides, it was rare for his two older brothers to make a mess of things, so he wanted to see it.
After a moment's consideration, Xie Zhuzhou continued, "Besides, I have class tomorrow. How about this, Third Brother, tell me your seat, and I'll have Yang Da and the others take Second Brother there. Anyway, Second Brother is free anyway."
Ji Wangyan: "..."
"Third Brother, you don't even know the address?" Xie Zhuzhou's expression was undisguised, showing a mixture of surprise and suspicion.
Compared to before, Xie Zhuzhou is now more carefree in this family. Since his father Ji Wuqiu, is too busy to come home for dinner today, he is even less concerned about his brothers' feelings.
Upon hearing this, Ji Wangyan felt that his younger brother was causing him trouble, but when he looked into his brother's eyes, he couldn't see anything.
"..."
Just when Xie Zhuzhou thought his eldest and third brothers would confess and apologize to his second brother, the two of them remained incorrigible.
Ji Wangyan was silent for a moment, then continued, "Second Brother, I've never dared to tell you this, but actually Li Yaokun isn't a person, he's a dog... Back then, that dog saved you... Anyway, the process was the same as before."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." How could anyone believe something so fake?
He turned to look at Ji Wangyun, only to find his second brother covering his mouth, tears falling onto the table.
"..."
No, is his second brother stupid? He said before that Li Yaokun didn't exist, but judging from his second brother's appearance, it doesn't seem like he has regained his memory.
Ji Wangyun cried sadly for a while, then grabbed Ji Wangyan's arm, "So that's how it is. Where is the dog's grave? I want to go see it."
Ji Wangyan: "..." Is this never going to end?!
Ji Wangyun was very persistent. In the middle of the night, he begged and pleaded with his brothers to go to the dog cemetery together.
Moreover, everyone must bring a bouquet of flowers, wear a suit and tie, and have their hair slicked back.
Xie Zhuzhou wore sunglasses, afraid of being recognized.
This is the substitute tomb that Ji Wangyan contacted and had found as quickly as possible.
Even the dog's name was just a temporary sticker; the glue probably hadn't even dried yet.
Xie Zhuzhou felt he was also crazy for coming out with them. In the middle of the night, with the cold wind blowing, he suddenly missed Little Yan very much.
Compared to his older brothers, his Little Yan seems so normal.
Chu Yanzhang, who had been nagged, sneezed at home, then continued to fly his fingers across the keyboard.
He deleted some clips of himself on the island, trying to pretend he had never done those bad things. Then, Chu Yanzhang got up and left the study, going to the kitchen. He rolled up his sleeves, put on a star-patterned apron, and prepared to show off his skills, learning how to make ice cream cakes and strawberry cookies.
The new butler had gray hair, wore an English tailcoat and silver-rimmed glasses, and was very refined and cultured.
As a butler with twenty years of experience working alongside domineering CEOs, he makes sure to assert his presence every day.
"I have never seen you care so much about anyone."
Chu Yanzhang: "If I remember correctly, I only hired you two days ago, didn't I, Butler Dais?"
**
Night was falling.
The four brothers bowed, taking turns offering their heartfelt sentiments. Xie Zhuzhou felt utterly hopeless. Why was he even here? His brothers were so childish. Couldn't they be more mature, composed, and well-mannered like him?
Under the moonlight, Ji Wangyun wiped away her tears and apologized to Gouzi again and again, her words filled with guilt and self-reproach.
The two brothers, Ji Wangyan and Ji Wangchen, suddenly couldn't imagine what kind of chaos would ensue the day Ji Wangyun regained his memories.
"Third brother, come here, say a few words to Lili." Ji Wangyun urged him when he saw him standing there in a daze. "Come here quickly! Since you know Lili, chat with it too. It's so bored here, and it died because of me. It must regret saving me back then, after all, it was such a young dog."
Ji Wangyan: "..." Seriously, who would give a dog a human name? Why is Second Brother accepting it so calmly?!
Ji Wangyan resignedly walked over, thinking she could continue to trick her second brother, but she didn't expect to trick herself instead.
" Lili, I've seen you before. You're a Border Collie, incredibly intelligent, with white fur on your head and black fur around your neck. The first time I saw you, I thought you were a scrawny ground dog... But now, I have to admit, you're the most handsome dog I've ever seen. When my second brother adopted you, I was worried about you... that you'd ended up with an unfit owner."
Ji Wangyan suddenly sighed again and continued, "In short, a dog's life is unpredictable. I hope you can be with a slightly smarter owner in your next life and not have to sacrifice yourself again!"
Ji Wangyun closed his eyes and clenched his teeth. His third brother was truly despicable; he had almost lost his composure.
Xie Zhuzhou wanted to cover his ears; he felt that if he listened any longer, he would burst out laughing in such a serious setting.
That's enough, really enough! Why does he have to go crazy with his brothers? He's about to suffocate!
"Third brother, I didn't expect you to remember this! It seems you and Lili have a good relationship!" Ji Wangyun said, patting Ji Wangyan's shoulder with the hand that had just wiped away tears and snot, his voice becoming more and more choked with emotion.
Ji Wangyan's fists gradually clenched.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..."
Ji Wangyun seemed to have cried enough, and the group walked out of the dog playground.
Ji Wangchen suddenly said, "You don't need to blame yourself too much. Come back to see it after you regain your memories."
Ji Wangyun: "..."
"Big brother, you're such a kind person."
Since Ji Wangyun lost his memory, Ji Wangyan has intentionally or unintentionally romanticized the Ji Family. He and his elder brother both believe that Ji Wangyun must have thought that the members of the Ji Family get along very well, care for each other, and are brothers.
So they believe everything they hear.
Seeing Ji Wangyun crying her eyes out today, their consciences were troubled, but not much, since Ji Wangyun always caused them trouble before she lost her memory.
"Third brother, you're such a good person. I shouldn't have looked at you with prejudice before. You can wear whatever you like, whether you're the third brother, the third sister, or the third brother, I support you being yourself... But do you really not have any **?"
Ji Wangyan: "..."
Xie Zhuzhou couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
Noticing his third brother looking over, he immediately regained his composure and said seriously, "Third brother, my second brother and I share the same opinion; we support you in being yourself. Whether you have a ** or not, you are a very good person."
Ji Wangyan had held back all night, but almost couldn't help himself when the youngest brother called him "Third Brother." He blurted out, "Who doesn't have a thing? This brat! He wouldn't actually believe it, would he? Could it be that my little brother, seemingly shrewd, is actually just as foolish as my second brother?"
Of course, he knew he was a useless older brother, unable to even discipline his younger brother—how infuriating!
