Chapter 2911
"Useless is good. If it were useful, you’d lose your sister," Cheng Jianguang said directly.
Cheng Jianguang thought about it. If she lost, the stone would demand to be her sister’s brother. That meant losing her sister. Even if she was still her sister, having someone else claim her felt like losing part of her. The logic was weird, but for Wang Jianrong, it made perfect sense. she didn’t think her brother was fooling her. They had already fought.
Cheng Jianguang was satisfied with Cheng Jianrong’s understanding.
Only Yan Xiwan blinked, looking at Cheng Jianguang. Was this how brothers fooled their siblings?
Seeing Yan Xiwan’s confused look, Cheng Jianguang smiled and rubbed her head. "Sister, let’s go home. My mom’s sweet and sour ribs are amazing. She definitely made them today."
"Okay." Yan Xiwan thought it seemed a bit tricky, but they were real brothers. They wouldn’t really hurt each other.
Yan Xiwan was still naive. Her soul was old, but her social experience was zero. Human relationships were hard. Sometimes, for small gains, brotherhood meant nothing. People could even ruin each other’s families.
Fortunately, Yan Xiwan had good brothers. Whether from the Yan family or these "Glory Brothers," they might tease her, but they wouldn’t truly harm her.
Yan Xiwan walked home, holding hands with the Yan brothers.
As Cheng Jianguang said, Wang Yuanying and Wang Suyao prepared a big meal. The table was full of fish and meat.
"Sister, eat." Cheng Jianrong served Yan Xiwan a large piece of braised pork.
Yan Xiwan looked at the meat. "Brother Rong, you eat the meat. Give me fish. I like fish. People who eat fish are smart."
"Okay." Cheng Jianrong was happy. It meant her sister wasn’t distant. she quickly moved the pork to her own bowl and gave her a big piece of fish.
Cheng Jianguang looked at Yan Xiwan. "Sister likes fish?"
"Yes. People who eat fish are smart," Yan Xiwan answered seriously.
"Don’t you like ribs?" Cheng Jianguang asked.
"I do," Yan Xiwan said. "I’m not picky. But among all foods, I like fish best. Braised fish, sweet and sour fish, sea fish, river fish, or lake fish. I like any fish, any flavor."
Cheng Jianguang understood. She wasn’t picky, but fish was her favorite.
"If you like fish, I’ll ask my mom to buy some tomorrow," Cheng Jianguang said.
Wang Yuanying laughed. "Guangzai is acting like a big brother."
"Mom, that praise sounds like it’s for a kid. I’m not a kid anymore," Cheng Jianguang said seriously.
"Yes, yes. You’re an adult now," Wang Yuanying smiled.
Yan Xiwan laughed. "It’s okay. Even without fish, I can eat other dishes."
"Try these sweet and sour ribs. They’re good too," Wang Suyao said, serving Yan Xiwan a piece.
Yan Xiwan smiled at Wang Suyao and served her a dish. "Thank you, Mom. You eat too."
"Good," Wang Suyao smiled gently.
"What about me?" Yan Tieniu hurried over.
Yan Xiwan looked at him and served him a dish. "Dad, you eat too."
Then she served Cheng Junnan, Wang Yuanying, and Old Yuan. "Godfather, eat. Godmother, eat. Master, eat."
"Sister, what about me?" Cheng Jianrong asked.
Yan Xiwan served him too. "Brother Rong, eat."
Finally, she served Cheng Jianguang. Since everyone else had food, she couldn’t leave her out. "Brother Guang, eat too."
Cheng Jianguang nodded, satisfied.
Once everyone had food, Yan Xiwan relaxed. She decided never to do this again. Serving everyone was too much work.
The meal was tiring for Yan Xiwan, but seeing everyone happy, she pretended it wasn’t.
The next day, Cheng Junnan and Old Yuan left.
Yan Xiwan played with the Glory Brothers. Wang Yuanying took Wang Suyao to buy gifts for the godparent ceremony.
Yan Tieniu stayed at the Wang house to look after the three kids at noon.
Yan Xiwan found children’s friendship strange. Yesterday, Cheng Jianrong and Shitou fought. Today, they acted like real brothers.
"Guangzai, Rongzai, let’s go to the shooting range?" There was one nearby.
Normal kids couldn’t go, but most kids here had special backgrounds. Their parents often taught them to shoot.
"Let’s go," Cheng Jianguang said. "My sister hasn’t seen shooting. It’s good to watch."
She knew Yan Xiwan was too small to shoot, but she could watch.
It wasn’t real shooting. It was for kids to focus their eyes. The range had a toy chicken. If you hit the small hole, the chicken popped out and praised your aim. If you missed, it said, "Try again."
In this era without many toys, it was very new.
Yan Xiwan was too short to play, so she sat aside.
Cheng Jianguang brought a bottle of soda for her. The boys took turns shooting.
Five toy bullets cost ten cents. These kids were from rich families, so money wasn’t an issue.
Yan Xiwan watched them shoot.
Cheng Jianguang had the best focus and hit the most targets.
"So this is where the noise is coming from. It’s you kids," a sixteen-year-old young man said.
She was very handsome. To Yan Xiwan, she was the most handsome person she had seen, except for her Emperor Father.
She radiated righteousness and sunshine. She was special.
"Brother Tianyun," the kids called out.
In the shadows, Zhu Yan’yi was surprised. "When did Ouyang Tianyun go through reincarnation?"
"I didn’t hear," Yan Aohan said.
Yes, Tianyun was Ouyang Tianyun’s reincarnation.
"Ask the Immortal Emperor," Zhu Yan’yi said to Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan connected to the Immortal Emperor.
"The Immortal Emperor said Tianyun failed his divine tribulation last time, so I arranged his reincarnation," the Immortal Emperor said.
"Why didn’t I know?" As the King of Hell, Yan Aohan should know about reincarnations.
"Well, I saw you were busy taking care of your wife, so I just handled it. Besides, my adopted son can be your son-in-law," the Immortal Emperor said directly.
"Get out. My daughter is only five. She’s not marrying anyone," Yan Aohan said angrily.
Zhu Yan’yi raised an eyebrow but said nothing. She suspected the Immortal Emperor had a plan.
Yan Xiwan didn’t know any of this. She just thought the big brother was very handsome.
"Sister, this is Brother Ouyang. You can call him Brother Tianyun too," Cheng Jianguang introduced.
Then she said to Ouyang Tianyun, "Brother Tianyun, this is my sister. My parents adopted her as a goddaughter."
Ouyang Tianyun looked at Yan Xiwan. she had seen many girls in the compound, but none compared to her. She was very delicate. In these times, such a delicate girl was clearly a treasure.
"What is your name, sister?" Ouyang Tianyun asked gently.
Yan Xiwan smiled brightly. "I am Yan Xiwan. Yan from Yanluo, Xi from tide, Wan from gentle. My nickname is Guaiguai. You can call me Guaiguai, Brother."
"Sister, you didn’t tell us your nickname," Cheng Jianrong complained.
"Didn’t I?" Yan Xiwan tilted her head. "But you must have heard my parents call me that."
"We heard it. We thought it was just a nickname like how people call girls 'Nannan' here," Cheng Jianguang explained.
"Oh, I didn’t know." Seeing Cheng Jianguang’s unhappy face, Yan Xiwan apologized. "That’s my fault. I’ll tell Brother Guang and Brother Rong now."
She cleared her throat. "Brother Guang, Brother Rong, let me introduce myself. I am Yan Xiwan. Yan from Yanluo, Xi from tide, Wan from gentle. My nickname is Guaiguai."
"Good," Cheng Jianguang said, looking satisfied. "From now on, we’ll call you Sister Guaiguai."
Yan Xiwan raised an eyebrow. It wasn’t a big deal. She nodded. "Okay."
Ouyang Tianyun watched them agree. His eyes softened. "Your sibling bond is very good."
