Younger Brother (2)
Uncle Xi grabbed his collar and pushed the man toward the wall. “Why are you still looking for him even though you know?”
‘Today, Uncle will help you to deal with this trouble.’
‘There is no need to thank me.’
‘Next time, lend me your wife a couple more times.’
Uncle Xi had already thought of all the lines he was going to say later in his mind, and as a result, all of his gazes were fixed on the young man’s face.
His throat tightened, and he unconsciously asked again in a low voice, “You’re here to look for Bai Qi?”
“Yes.” The young man put down the large bag on his back and slowly stood up straight.
Now, his height looked comparable to Uncle Xi’s.
He waved his hands blankly, “I really didn’t lie…… I……”
“How do you know Bai Qi?”
“Abroad, when recording the program.”
“Go in,” Uncle Xi calmly said, “Bai Qi lives here.”
Su Meixian looked doubtfully, then took out her key and opened the door.
The people inside immediately sat up straight when they heard the commotion.
Bai Qi probed and asked, “Mom?”
He watched as his mom walked in, followed closely by Aunty and Uncle. ‘Mm? … How is there another one?’
The person walking at the end had a bit of dust from the white wall on his body, which stood out on his gray jacket.
Bai Qi paused before recognizing the other person.
“Frank?”
For a moment, all eyes fell on Bai Qi.
“Why didn’t you call when you arrived?” Bai Qi asked, hurriedly clasping Xi-laoshi’s fingers as he said dryly, “So that I can pick you up with Xi-laoshi.”
Xi Chengyun scratched Bai Qi’s palm before pausing and not making a sound.
Frank patted his cell phone. “No signal.”
Su Meixian let out a soft “ah.”
For a moment, everyone looked at her again.
Su Meixian knew where that strange “familiarity” came from.
This young man had an aura about him that was very close to Xi Chengyun, and when she saw him, it was hard to associate him with Xi Chengyun. But after seeing him and Xi Chengyun again, the feeling became clearer.
Frank over here was a bit nervous as he asked in a low voice, “Are these your family members?”
His gaze carefully skimmed over every one of them, a little light of longing coming from his eyes.
Bai Qi nodded and made introductions one by one. “My mom.” “Uncle, Aunty.”
Lastly, there was Xi-laoshi.
He hesitated for a moment and whispered, “My husband.”
Xi Chengyun’s eyes immediately added two more points of smile. When he looked at Frank again, he found him more pleasing to the eye.
At first glance, he realized that Frank’s aura was subtly similar to his own.
People would instinctively reject another person who was too much like them.
But Xi Chengyun was in a highly stable mood at this moment.
He even thought, ‘Qi Qi might be patient with Frank because something about Frank was similar to me.’
Thinking about this, Xi Chengyun’s mood became even better.
‘I love Qi Qi.’
‘Qi Qi loves me.’
Frank looked like he had never been in contact with so many elders at once and had probably never been a guest at a classmate’s house when he was a student.
He stiffly raised his arms and greeted in a general way, “Hello, Uncle, Aunty, and Mr. Xi……”
Bai Qi spoke out at this time, breaking that weird, stagnant atmosphere and rescuing Frank from his stiffness.
“Sit down first? Have a glass of water?”
Frank was relieved and hastily answered, “Okay.”
Su Meixian let go of the things in her hand. “Qi Qi, you entertain the guests. I’ll ask your father to cut the fruits.”
On this side, Uncle Xi also calmly walked to Xi Chengyun’s side and patted his shoulder. Xi Chengyun paused, looked back at him, and followed Uncle Xi to leave.
The nephew and uncle still had a tacit understanding.
Suddenly, Frank, Aunty, and Bai Qi were left in the living room.
Frank drank a glass of water and was not as nervous as earlier. He said softly, “There are many people in your family.”
Bai Qi: “Not a lot.” He paused and asked, “Have you rented an apartment yet?”
“No, the program said they would provide me with a dormitory.” Frank smiled with a gentle look. “I just can’t help but be tempted. If I can make some money, I’ll share half of it with you!”
Bai Qi suddenly remembered, “Which program invited you?”
Frank: “Star-Picking Youth.”
‘? It sounds familiar.’
‘The name is quite catchy.’
Bai Qi fished out his cell phone and sent a message to Shang Guang.
[Shang-ge, what’s the name of that variety show?]
[Star-Picking Youth. I’m on my way to talk about it. What’s going on?]
‘Isn’t this a coincidence?’
At this time, Papa Bai came out with fruits.
At the same time, Bai Qi’s bedroom door opened, and Xi Chengyun and Uncle Xi walked out one after the other.
How should he describe Xi Chengyun’s expression at this moment?
Steady and calm, he strongly suppressed the haziness and surprise in the bottom of his eyes.
He walked straight to Frank with giant strides.
“Although slightly abrupt, I’d like to ask you to pull a few hairs out for me.”
Uncle said from behind, “Better take blood. I think this is more accurate.”
Frank’s gentle face slowly twisted, and his whole body shuddered. “…… I …… I’m not very tasty even after removing the hair and blood.” He jerked his head around and stuck into Bai Qi’s arms at once. “Bai Qi, help!”
The big man, over 1.8 meters in height, completely hung onto Bai Qi’s body.
Bai Qi: ?????

Xi-laoshi, who seemed to have found his younger brother: “……”
Instead, he wasn’t too happy about it.
