Translator: 549690339
She now has a brother!
Upon discovering that she was alive, her brother excitedly spun her in circles.
Her brother likes her!
As she looked at Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, she found herself smiling brightly, even as her eyes welled up with tears.
Upon hearing that Ye Xingbei had forgiven him, Xie Jinfei, whose mood had just dropped to freezing temperatures, was suddenly revitalized.
He looked at Ye Xingbei, his voice filled with excitement: “Beibei, do you remember anything from when you were little? You were the cutest, so soft and fair, just like a rice dumpling! Back then you liked me the most, you’d laugh whenever you’d see me and you’d even crawl all over me! Oh, oh, I even have photos of you when you were little on my phone!”
Originally pushed aside by Gu Junzhu, he now brought out his phone and accessed his password-protected photo album.
His mother loved taking photos.
After his parents passed, he brought all dozen-plus family albums with him to Beijing.
He took photos of all the images in those albums with his phone, categorizing and storing them meticulously.
He opened a folder titled “Family Portrait”, and a digital album sprang open.
One by one, the images passed before Ye Xingbei’s eyes as mellifluous music played in the background.
In every picture, there were five people.
A young man and woman, two lively and adorable boys, and a few-months-old baby girl.
Xie Jinfei pointed at the images for her: “Look, this is our father and mother, this is me, this is your elder brother, this is you!”
He glanced at the Ye Xingbei in the photograph and then at the Ye Xingbei beside him, sadly concluding, “You’ve changed.”
As Ye Xingbei watched the photographs flip by, underscored by the heartwarming music in the electronic album, she found herself moved almost to tears.
Xie Jinfei’s words elicited mixed feelings of laughter and tears.
In the photographs, she was probably not even a year old.
She was already twenty years old now.
It would be ridiculous if she still looked the same.
Gu Junzhu looked disdainfully at Xie Jinfei’s goofy appearance, pulled Ye Xingbei into his chest and away from Xie Jinfei, then advised Ye Xingbei solemnly, “Stay away from him. Stupidity is contagious!”
Thanks to those two fools, the melancholic mood was abruptly shattered.
She successfully held back her tears.
Xie Yunlin watched the scene unfold before him and felt the corners of his mouth lift into a smile. When he looked at Ye Xingbei, his eyes conveyed self-blame, guilt, but most of all, they were filled with pity and affection: “Beibei, your second brother and I were at fault for not taking good care of you and making you endure so much. But from now on, we will definitely ensure it doesn’t happen again. We will take good care of you. I believe our parents would also be overjoyed to know that we three siblings are reunited.”
Ye Xingbei nodded vigorously, “Mm-hmm.”
Feelings can be cultivated over time.
Though right now, her feelings towards her two brothers aren’t quite deep, it’s probably due to the natural bond of blood that makes her have a favorable impression of Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei. She felt a sense of kinship when she saw them, and was irresistibly drawn to them.
It seemed that her two brothers liked her very much as well.
Everything was wonderful.
She will even have biological brothers in the future!
She felt so happy that she felt she could fly.
“Yes,” Xie Jinfei chimed in: “If our maternal grandparents knew that Beibei was still alive, they would certainly be overjoyed! Grandfather loved our mother the most. Just a few days ago, he saw me looking at the old photos and said he felt guilty for not taking good care of our mother’s little sister and allowing her to die so young. If he knew that Beibei is alive, he would be ecstatic!”
Xiang Bingzhi kneeled on the ground, watching the heartwarming scene of the three siblings being reunited. Her heart felt as if she had stepped into a pit of ice. Her body trembled, overwhelmed with cold..
