"Did we have someone new move into our building? I saw someone from the moving company park their car downstairs this afternoon."
"You're right. I saw they move to the 12th floor!"
12th floor? Isn't that my grandparent's floor? They have already bought the whole floor so who would be moving in with them? At that moment, the elevator arrived on the 12th floor. Mo Li opened her eyes and walked out. She stood before the door and took out her keys. It was then that she saw a man standing at the corner. It was none other than her second brother, Mo Xiao. When did he wake up and why is he here?
"Long time no see, little sister." A simple greeting, but it made Mo Li shiver. In her mind, she quickly went through the personality and characterization of her 3 brothers in the original.
Mo Yun was brought up by his grandfather. He grew up in a harsh training environment and thus was a good survivor. He could handle any kind of situation with ease. He had a cold personality and appeared refined to outsiders. Mo Yun was an incredibly rational and mature person. One secret was that he was actually very sentimental. For example, after he was betrayed by his first love, he hadn't gotten in any relationship since. After getting to know him, Mo Li realized Mo Yun was as knowledgeable as she was when it came to common knowledge.
Mo Zheng, on the other hand, had a flirtatious personality. He was an optimist but was also surprisingly stubborn. He would not easily change his mind and was the timidest of the 3 brothers. However, he was the most gifted in terms of talents. He was a very good singer, dancer, and actor. He also knew many musical instruments.
Mo Xiao was the most difficult to deal with. Mo Xiao was educated with the goal for him to help expand the family business overseas. Therefore, he was taught by world-class teachers to study English, maths, physics, and so on since he was young. He graduated from MIT and served in a secret intelligence department of an unknown country. The original didn't elaborate much on the last part.
The most annoying part about this man was his personality. He inherited the good looks of the Mo Family but there was something baleful about him. He could be incredibly selfish to the state of harming others. He had a sharp tongue and had a pathological obsession with emotionless logic.
But the biggest problem was this man had never referred to Mo Li as 'little sister' in the original book before. And what was he doing at their grandparent's home?
"Grandpa and grandma are not home and Mo Yu has been called home by little aunt. Here I thought I'm going to sleep outside tonight."
Mo Li looked at him. Mo Xiao looked unkempt. Mo Yun probably doesn't know Mo Xiao has woken up.
Mo Xiao hadn't fully recovered. His face was pale and his lips were unnaturally white. He could barely stand. His body trembled. When Mo Li saw the two bags of frozen food he was holding, she sighed helplessly. She opened the door and chased the man in. "Come in, you better go take a rest."
Mo Xiao stood there and stared at Mo Li. Even though he had been in a coma, he was not dumb. He was sure that the person who saved him and even performed surgery on him was Mo Li. However, he was very familiar with his little sister. She wasn't that capable so how would one explain the anomaly?
Mo Li felt Mo Xiao's questioning gaze on her. But Mo Xiao didn't say anything. He walked through the door and slumped on the couch.
Based on Mo Li's arrangement, the man should be in physical therapy and not drag himself over here to observe her.
Mo Li let him into the house and she hurried into the kitchen. Half an hour later, she served 5 dishes.
Mo Xiao sat down wordlessly and started to eat. He was too hungry. Even though he refused to believe Mo Li had suddenly become such a good cook, he was too hungry to complain.
To be honest, Mo Xiao was quite handsome, he was like the antagonist who walked out from a manga. However, Mo Li still couldn't understand what happened to him. What did he do to be kidnapped? Mo Li sighed when she noticed Mo Xiao's shaking fingers. Suddenly Mo Xiao raised his head and met her gaze. "What is it?" Mo Li asked.
Mo Xiao looked at Mo Li and said with formality. "Thank you for the meal. I appreciate it."
Mo Li was discomfited. Do we need to stand on such a ceremony when we're a family? Regardless she played along, "You're welcome."
"Tomorrow morning, my breakfast will be steamed eggs and yam rib porridge. For lunch, I'll have something simple, purple potatoes, boiled eggs, salad, and fried steak.. For dinner, I'll have fried shrimps with lettuce, shredded beans with soy sauce, shredded pork with fish flavor, and Cola chicken wings. For soup, I'll have a simple golden mushroom soup or hot and sour soup!"
