Rebirth of the Star God Agent

Chapter 36 Yuan Chi's Heart Knot, Qi Family Gathering

Yin Yuanchi's father wasn't very close to his family, so it wasn't a big problem within the Yin family. It was just that his father didn't receive much attention from his grandfather when he was young.

The eldest son of the Yin family is Yin Yuanbao's father, and the youngest daughter is Qi Ji's mother. His father, the middle child, seems to be cursed, neglected by his grandfather. It is the eldest son and the youngest daughter, not his father, who easily receive his grandfather's care and education.

When Yin Yuanchi was a child, he always felt that his father was a little gloomy. Unlike Yin Yuanbao's father or Qi Ji's mother, who he knew, they were not particularly caring towards children and the family was filled with laughter every day.

Yin Yuanchi's mother would comfort him, apologize for not being close enough to his father, and even for neglecting his child, make it up to him, and give him more maternal love.

Yin Yuanchi had been jealous before.

However, he attended the funeral of Qi Ji's parents.

He had followed his father, standing in a distant corner. He saw the expression on Qi Ji's face at the funeral, his nominal cousin's face glazed over, almost expressionless. Yin Yuanbao, then a young boy, held Qi Ji in his arms and cried his heart out in the auditorium, while Qi Ji stood there, looking at his parents' clothes in the coffin.

That day, he felt that he understood his cousin a little.

That, perhaps, is like wanting to cry but having no tears. Or, as my grandfather said, when pain reaches its extreme, one becomes numb.

Qi Ji must have been emotionally numb that day. He thought so at the time.

Afterwards, he and Qi Ji rarely met again. He only learned from Yin Yuanbao that his cousin rarely smiled anymore. His life was very tiring and difficult.

Today, he once again came into close contact with Qi Ji. He seemed to have matured a lot, and seemed to like to laugh more.

Yin Yuanchi followed the three of them and walked towards Zhai Anle's dormitory.

He watched Qi Ji, Zhai Anle, and Yin Yuanbao, all chatting and laughing. It was like stepping back in time. Though the Qi family was struggling, every time his aunt brought his uncle and Qi Ji to the Yin family, the children would gather together, laughing and playing, creating a lively atmosphere. Qi Ji, like his other brothers, was happy and relaxed. The adults would play cards and chat nearby. Outside, the sun shone brightly, and inside, they were all family, a beautiful and happy place.

Yin Yuanchi's nose felt a little sore. He looked at the tall man walking two steps ahead. His broad, solid shoulders were his brother Ji from his youth. He seemed to have suddenly grown up.

No, maybe he missed the time when Brother Ji was growing up.

In a trance, he seemed to see his always beautiful and gentle aunt and handsome and cheerful uncle. They stood beside the tall man and looked at him with gentle eyes.

Yin Yuanchi smiled.

He glanced at the young man walking between Qi Ji and Yin Yuanbao.

What Yin Yuanbao said might be true. This young man had truly influenced Brother Ji. Brother Ji was gradually maturing and also gradually regaining his happiness.

Yin Yuanchi took two quick steps and caught up with the three men. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Yin Yuanbao and took a storage box from Yin Yuanbao's hand.

Yin Yuanbao looked in surprise at Yin Yuanchi who suddenly snatched the box.

Yin Yuanchi smiled but said nothing.

Yin Yuanbao was stunned for a moment. He felt that Yin Yuanchi's mood was not right. But he didn't wait for a second to think about it.

Yin Yuanchi put his arm around his shoulders and half-pushed him forward.

Yin Yuanbao grinned and quickly brought Yin Yuanchi into the conversation, "Brother Chi, we teamed up last time we played a game. Do you want to try it together later? Believe me, we can work well together!"

Qi Ji also smiled and said, "Yuan Chi, come with us too, let's try to get on the leaderboard?"

Zhai Anle finally unloaded the burden of a month of pre-exam cram school, and he felt so relaxed. "I had so much fun last time. Brother Yuan Chi came and played with me too."

Yin Yuanchi felt more relaxed, as if all the unnecessary gloom had dissipated. The afternoon sun was warm and dazzling.

Yin Yuanchi raised his head, glancing at the not-too-bright sunlight. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile forming at the corners of his lips. His father might have had his own reasons for being ignored. However, he was an only son. His father shouldn't have to repeat everything he had experienced on his only son.

Yin Yuanchi smiled and responded, "Okay, let's hit the charts, and then I'll stop playing."

Four young people walked in the sunshine, full of vigor and leisure.

Yin Yuanchi thought, perhaps his father wasn't right. His grandfather had told Yuanbao to be close to Qi Ji, but not him. Perhaps it wasn't because he favored Yuanbao and Qi Ji alone, but perhaps his grandfather had sensed his father's attitude.

Yin Yuanchi thought, maybe it wasn't that his grandfather didn't love his father, but that his father just didn't see it.

Yin Yuanchi thought a lot. When he turned around, he saw Zhai Anle's bright smile.

He was in a trance for a moment.

He seemed to see his aunt's smile, just like the family photo they had taken in the Yin family's garden that year. Her smile was warm and happy, illuminated by the sunlight.

Yin Yuanchi seemed to see two faces with the same smile overlapping at this moment.

Yin Yuanchi smiled, his eyes narrowed. The corners of his eyes were slightly moist.

Hmm. How long had it been since he had laughed so happily? He couldn't remember, but now he seemed to be laughing to tears.

Through Zhai Anle and Yin Yuanbao, Qi Ji saw that Yuan Chi's eyes were slightly red.

Qi Ji seemed to sense something. Was he too polite to his cousin today?

Qi Ji looked at Zhai Anle.

Zhai Anle was also looking at him.

Zhai Anle was smiling, and he mouthed to Qi Ji, "It's okay."

Qi Ji responded to Zhai Anle with an even brighter smile.

Qi Ji said, "Yuan Chi, I've been too busy. It's been so long since we last met. Let's relax today while Anle is enrolled. Do you want to have a few drinks with me tonight?"

Yin Yuanchi gave him a big smile in return, sunny and full of energy, just like the little cousin who had jumped around and happily called out, "Auntie, Auntie! You're here! Yuanchi missed you so much!" and jumped into his mother's arms many years ago.

Yin Yuanchi said, "Well! Let's have a few drinks and tell you the stories that you haven't told me in the past few years, Brother Ji."

The two brothers finally broke the indifference of the past few years.

The dog Yin Yuanbao finally sensed something and hurriedly bumped Yin Yuanchi with his shoulder.

"Yin Yuanchi, you bastard, why do you come to me when you see Brother Ji? I've been the one Brother Ji loves the most these past few years!"

Yin Yuanchi poked Yin Yuanbao's head in amusement. "How can I compete with you? Brother Ji loves you the most, okay?"

Yin Yuanbao bared his teeth, "No, Brother Ji and Anle both love me the most!"

Yin Yuanchi coaxed him like a child, "Yes, it's not just Brother Ji and Anle. The whole family loves you the most. Okay?"

Yin Yuanbao curled his lips, "Humph. No, it's you that Grandpa loves the most, right?"

Yin Yuanchi was stunned.

Qi Ji and Zhai Anle both noticed the change in Yin Yuanchi's expression, but they just smiled and didn't respond.

Because they knew that Yin Yuanbao would tell Yin Yuanchi.

Yin Yuanbao, "Brother Chi, you don't know that every time Grandpa prepares New Year gifts for the family, he always prepares the best for you and Second Uncle."

Yin Yuanchi, "What???"

Yin Yuanbao sighed and did not answer Yin Yuanchi. He just said to Qi Ji and Zhai Anle, "Brother Ji, Anle, you two don't know."

"Grandpa said that Brother Chi is just like Second Uncle, usually cold and aloof. He doesn't know how to get close to children. He also told me not to stick only to Brother Ji, but to stick more to Brother Chi..."

Yin Yuanbao seemed to be a little complaining, "Everyone says that Grandpa loves me the most, but that's not true. Grandpa is just asking tricks from me. Ask Brother Ji, ask Second Uncle, ask Brother Chi."

He looked back and forth at the three of them with resentment, "Am I Grandpa's surveillance camera? Is he using me as a little spy?"

Qi Ji and Zhai Anle couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yin Yuanchi's eyes widened. He didn't know any of this.

Yin Yuanbao sighed, "Brother Chi, haven't you noticed? The gifts you and Second Uncle receive during festivals and holidays are the most valuable of anybody in the family."

Yin Yuanchi was stunned. How did he know this?

The gifts were all wrapped in boxes, and no one would open them immediately after receiving them, even though he knew that the gifts he and his father received were very valuable.

But he didn't know what other family members got, and he wouldn't ask.

Yin Yuanchi asked Yin Yuanbao blankly, "Why do you know that the gifts my dad and I received are the most valuable?"

Yin Yuanbao snorted coldly, "Why shouldn't I know? I always accompany Grandpa to choose gifts, and then help him pack them."

Yin Yuanchi was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.

He rubbed Yin Yuanbao's head and said, "Be good, from now on, Brother Chi will give you the best gifts."

He understood. It turned out that this home was not without warmth.

It was he and his father who didn't understand grandpa's intentions.

He was just like his grandfather and father. All three of them failed to see clearly the expectations and love for each other.

It turns out that’s just like that.

Yin Yuanchi thought, they are a family. So, even if they are wrong, they are still a family.

Well, it's family. It's brothers.

Zhai Anle smiled at the three brothers and said, "We're here. Let's drop off our luggage and set off."

He looked at the three brothers.

Qi Ji smiled and nodded. Yin Gouzi smiled. Yin Yuanchi also smiled.

Zhai Anle opened the door to Building 17. Area A was the most upscale dormitory in the college, consisting of a whole block of stand-alone villas with their own courtyards.

He took his suitcase from the Yin brothers and asked, "Do you want to come in and wait for me?"

Qi Ji nodded and entered the main door of Building 17. "Can I help you pack your luggage?"

Yin Yuanbao also raised his hand, "I'll help too."

Yin Yuanchi, "Let's clean up faster together."

Zhai Anle shook his head and said with a smile, "I brought the housekeeper C207. You all don't have to be busy. Just wait for me in the living room. I just need to change my clothes."

Qi Ji nodded, and the three brothers sat down in the living room of the villa.

The villa is two stories high. The first floor houses the living room, kitchen, and dining room. The second floor has three large bedrooms.

Zhai Anle found his room, scanned his badge and biometric information, and entered his room.

After putting down the storage suitcase, he asked Doudou to take out the black casual clothes and sneakers he had stored in the storage box. He hurriedly changed his clothes and went downstairs.

The four of them got together, discussed their next itinerary, happily locked the door, and left the academy.

The first stop is to go home and play games.

This was suggested by Zhai Anle. He had just fought with Luo You, and the physical and mental excitement had not yet subsided.

No one objected. If Zhai Anle wanted to play, they wouldn't object.

After boarding the aircraft, Qi Ji contacted Qi Ye and asked him if he wanted to play. Qi Ye agreed to play. He had been helping with some of the Qi family's affairs recently and was also working overtime to help Qi Ji select an elite team. Qi Ji said that Zhai Anle had passed the college entrance examination today, so they should celebrate together.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Ye stood up from his desk, changed his clothes, and went to the Qi family's old house to meet them.

After Qi Ji hung up the phone, Yin Yuanbao touched his chin, as if he had some thoughts.

"Brother Ji, do you want to call Jian over as well?" Yin Yuanbao asked Qi Ji for his opinion.

Qi Ji didn't expect Yin Yuanbao would want to invite Jane Kate.

He thought for a moment and said, "You can ask Lance. Lance loves Jane very much. If he agrees, Jane should come."

Yin Yuanchi was a little surprised, "The lady from Kate's family?"

Zhai Anle was happy, "Yes, but she is not like an ordinary rich girl."

Yin Yuanchi was a little confused. "What's the difference? Everyone in Kate's family is that old-fashioned. What's different about that little girl?"

Yin Yuanbao scratched his face in confusion, not knowing whether he should say that to a little girl.

After enduring for a long time, he couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Brother Chi, you haven't seen her. She's not an ordinary girl." Yin Yuanbao said seriously, "Have you ever seen a rich girl's contracted spirit beast be a lion?"

Yin Yuanchi paused. He hadn't expected that most girls' contracted spirit beasts were small, cute, and beautiful. He hadn't known Jane Kate's contracted spirit beast would be a lion.

When Yin Yuanbao saw Yin Yuanchi's expression, he knew that he was a little bit unbelieving.

Yin Yuanbao sneered, "You really haven't met her. She has short hair, is small, and is pretty, but she's very fierce in a fight."

Zhai Anle turned around and stroked Yin Yuanbao's head, "Hey, that's enough. Don't talk about me behind my back, I'm still a little girl."

Yin Yuanbao curled his lips, "Anle, have you forgotten that I made a mistake last time and was hit in the face by her?"

Qi Ji laughed, "That was your own carelessness. You were playing with the girl, knowing that you were competing, yet you were distracted and careless. She didn't mean to hit you in the face."

Yin Yuanbao rushed forward, hugged Zhai Anle from the back of the chair and rubbed him, "Anle, I won't talk about her."

Zhai Anle smiled and stroked his dog's head again, "Then why did you think of inviting her to play this time?"

Yin Yuanbao sighed, "I think a girl shouldn't be pampered and protected. Why is she so focused on pursuing strength at such a young age and insisting on going further and further on the road of fighting? Is her daily life too boring? Would taking her out to play more often give her more things to do?"

Yin Yuanchi turned his head and looked at Yin Yuanbao seriously.

Qi Ji and Zhai Anle also looked at Yin Yuanbao.

Although Yin Gouzi is usually careless, he is very careful and intuitive.

Qi Ji, "Contact Lance and ask for his opinion. After all, he has the final say in Kate's family now."

Yin Yuanbao sat up firmly, turned on the light brain, and looked for Jane Kate's contact information.

Jane quickly answered the call, and Yin Yuanbao asked her if she wanted to come and play together.

Jane answered quickly that she would go, but she had to inform her brother first.

Yin Yuanbao said to wait for her news. If she could come, he would go directly to the Qi family's old house. If not, he could contact him again.

When the aircraft returned to the Qi family's old house, no one expected that not only Jane was there, but Lance also came with Song Mo.

Qi Ji opened the door and welcomed the guests in.

Qi Ye was already sitting in the hall waiting for someone.

When Qi Ye watched a group of people enter the Qi family's old house, he felt for a moment that the Qi family was alive again.

Brother Ji is no longer the only one in the old house.

It seems that it won’t be long before the Qi family becomes prosperous again.

There are so many people, it is really lively.

Yinque and Tuanzi were playing in the garden with a group of spirit beasts.

Qi Ji took a group of people to the entertainment room to team up to brush the game leaderboard.

Doudou was the busiest. It connected to the Qi family's main terminal and began to prepare wine, drinks, snacks for this small party, and snacks and toys for the spirit beasts playing outside.
