Chapter 267 "Dark Shadows"

It’s Chinese New Year

Uncle Yu and his wife called to say they wouldn’t be able to come back this year. The same went for the other soldiers in the family, who all stayed in the army to celebrate the New Year.

Yu Qingtang heard the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor in the middle of the night. Besides himself, Yu Qingxu was the only one on this floor.

Yu Qingtang thought about her younger brother's lonely expression when her uncle called her back in the evening, and felt that as a good sister she should go out and comfort her brother who was longing for affection.

Opening the door a crack, Yu Qingtang leaned on it and peeked out for a while.

There were no lights in the corridor, and the moonlight outside the window was dim. The figure was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly, but the tall and broad outline was not someone Yu Qingtang was familiar with.

Yu Qingtang’s first reaction was that there was a thief in the house.

But think about it, this is a military compound guarded by soldiers 24 hours a day, how could a thief sneak in?

"Jin Gua Gua, quickly scan who that is?"

Before Jin Guagua could answer her, the person in the shadows spotted the peeping Yu Qingtang.

"Tangtang?"

He seemed to tilt his head slightly.

"Who?" Yu Qingtang asked cautiously, and at the same time took out a powerful card. If the person opposite was really a bad guy, she could also fight back.

"I'm."

A tall figure walked slowly out of the shadows. His face in the moonlight looked 70% like Yu Qingtang, except that his features were more resolute and his skin was darker. If it weren't for Yu Qingtang's good eyesight, he might not have been able to see him.

It’s you, it’s you, who knows who you are?

Yu Qingtang complained silently.

But in fact, Jin Guagua had already given her the information of the person in front of her.

Yu Zhaoyan

Yu Qingtang’s elder brother.

He and his younger brother Yu Chuyi are identical twins.

It was just because he was darker and it was night, so Yu Qingtang didn't recognize him at first.

"Brother?" Yu Qingtang called cautiously.

"It's me." The tall figure moved closer.

Yu Qingtang then moved his body to the outside of the door, reached out and fumbled around the wall for a long time before finding the light switch in the corridor.

Complained: "Why don't you turn on the light? I thought there was a thief in the house."

"It's too late. I don't want to disturb your sleep."

"It would be more disturbing if you walked outside without turning on the lights, okay?"

Yu Zhaoyan finally walked up to Yu Qingtang and raised his hand to rub her head.

"Who told you not to sleep so late? Qingxu wasn't woken up."

Yu Qingtang didn't dare to say that she was actually asleep and only came out because she heard the noise in the corridor.

The time travel still brought some effects to this body, for example, she was more sensitive than the original owner.

"When I called you last night, you said you wouldn't be back this year. Why are you back now all of a sudden?"

"Why don't you want me to come back? You don't miss me after not seeing me for two years?"

Yu Zhaoyan pretended to be sad and said, "Brother rushed back overnight just to see you!"

Yu Qingtang curled his lips: "I don't believe it."

He could travel overnight from the southwestern border back to Kyoto, thinking she was a child who was easy to fool.

Yu Zhaoyan said with a look of satisfaction: "It seems that I have made some progress in the past two years of working in the countryside."

Yu Qingtang asked, "So why did you come back so suddenly? Did you want to give your family a surprise, or were you carrying out some secret mission?"

"You've been thinking so much, go back to sleep."

Yu Zhaoyan avoided the question and Yu Qingtang tactfully stopped asking any more questions.

"Have you had dinner yet? Do you want me to heat up some food for you?"

Yu Zhaoyan held her head with relief and started to pull it.

"My sister has really grown up and now cares about me. I am so touched~"

Yu Qingtang stretched out his arms and waved them wildly.

"Ah ...

"Click——"

The valve opposite Yu Qingtang opened, and Yu Qingxu looked at them with squinted eyes and messy hair.

After turning on the lights, the two of them no longer subconsciously lowered their voices when they spoke.

It was normal for Yu Qingxu to be woken up by their voices.

Yu Zhaoyan saw Yu Qingxu's sleepy and relaxed look, and he didn't feel guilty at all. He greeted him calmly.

"The youngest has almost grown as tall as his eldest brother after not seeing him for two years."

Yu Qingxu saw clearly who was in front of him, and his eyes lit up with joy. He shouted happily, "Second Brother!"

Yu Zhaoyan finally let go of Yu Qingtang and placed his big, broad hand on Yu Qingxu's head.

"Either call me big brother or call me brother."

This may be because every second child wants to be the eldest child.

Yu Hongyu has only two brothers in his generation, and they have had a good relationship since childhood.

The next generation of children are also arranged according to their age.

The first one is my uncle’s eldest son Yu Zeyan, Yu Zhaoyan is second, Yu Chuyi is third, Yu Qingtang is fourth, and Yu Qingxu is the youngest.

The first three were only one day apart, and Yu Chuyi's brain wasn't as good as theirs to win the fight, so Yu Zhaoyan competed with Yu Zeyan for the position of the boss every day.

Although he was one day younger, he had no reason to earn money.

But he refused to accept it! Why was he one day younger? It must be because Yu Chuyi was too lazy that he also came out one day late.

Anyway, since childhood, Yu Zhaoyan never allowed the three younger ones to call him "big brother".

Yu Qingxu: "Second brother, second brother, second brother, why are you back? Second brother..."

"stop!"

Yu Zhaoyan manually shut him up.

Although Yu Qingxu has become stronger in the past two years, he is not as strong as Yu Zhaoyan, who has been training in the army for many years. He struggled for a long time but could not break free from his shackles.

Yu Qingxu looked at Yu Qingtang for help.

Yu Qingtang responded by saying that he loved her and could help her.

"Haha, you guys take your time playing, I'm going back to sleep."

Wait for Yu Qingtang to close the door.

Yu Zhaoyan finally let go of Yu Qingxu.

Yu Qingxu was about to fight back angrily, but she didn't want to hear Yu Zhaoyan whisper: "You have been with her for the past two years. Have you found anything unusual?"

Yu Qingxu: “…Ah?”

He was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why Yu Zhaoyan asked this?

Yu Zhaoyan's eyes were no longer as joking as before, but became deep and sharp.

"It seems there are some things you don't know."

Yu Qingxu frowned and asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Yu Zhaoyan pushed him towards his room: "Go in and talk."

The corridor fell into darkness again.

Yu Qingtang quietly opened the door, and the look in his eyes was no longer relaxed.

"Jin Gua Gua, I've been discovered."

After saying this solemnly, Yu Qingtang regained his usual demeanor and sighed, "As expected of someone who wants to be the eldest brother, you realized I'm not the original owner the first time we met."

Before, Yu Chuyi didn't even have any suspicion, and his vigilance was not as good as that of the youngest Yu Qingxu.

Jin Guagua: "Host, is it possible that he knew from the beginning that you might not be the real Yu Qingtang and was just testing you?"

"You knew it from the beginning?"

"Have you forgotten that the military already knows that you have some supernatural powers?

With so many reborn beings and time travelers appearing in this world, it is impossible for the state apparatus not to respond.

And your identity is special. After your superpowers appear, the military will investigate you and will most likely tell Grandpa Yu and other members of the Yu family who work in the military."

Yu Qingtang felt that what Jin Guagua said made a lot of sense.

But I was a little confused: "Grandpa Yu behaves very normally, and treats me no differently than he did the original owner."

Jin Guagua: "Who is Grandpa Yu? If he didn't want you to notice something strange, could you have noticed it?"

Yu Qingtang: That makes perfect sense, I can’t refute it.

"Then what happens next?"
