Younger brother's birthday.

Shortly after the little girl, Yang Yuyi, was picked up by her parents, Ji Chen Ai saw the middle-aged woman who begging with Yang Yuyi that day on the news. This time, she looked haggard as she accepted the court trial. 

Ji Chan Ai didn't know the specific details of that case, but the result of her trial was broadcast directly on the news —— death penalty. Ji Chen Ai knew that Yang Yuyi's parents must've done something. Otherwise, in accordance with the current state of the country, sentencing someone with a 10-year prison sentence was already considered as heavy punishment.

The card that was given by Yang Yuyi's father had two million. For an ordinary household, this could be regarded as a huge sum of money. Ji Chen Ai didn't tell Zhou Yaoyun about this card's existence, choosing to keep it a secret. It's not that he didn't trust Zhou Yaoyun, but rather, he needed the money and won't be able to give his brother an explanation when he spends it.

On the 37th day Ji Chen Ai became Zhou Yaoqin, he met a man who should have nothing to do with the later —— Ji Suming.

Correct, he was Ji Chen Ai's brother.

At that time, Ji Chen Ai was accompanying Zhou Yaoyun to order a birthday cake. Ji Suming had walked past him with no expression on his face, not looking very well as he quarrelled with someone on the phone. 

The moment Ji Chen Ai saw Ji Suming, his body couldn't help but freeze, unpleasant memories rising up in his mind. Ji Suming had no idea that Ji Chen Ai was beside him–he didn't even look at him. Soon, the man exited the mall and disappeared.

“Brother, do you know that man?” Zhou Yaoyun asked.

Ji Chen Ai paused and randomly said, "Don't know."

“Why did you stare at him for so long?” Zhou Yaoyun pressed.

Ji Chen Ai thought he had covered it up well, but Zhou Yaoyun obviously didn't think so. Seeing Ji Chen Ai refusing to answer, he felt wronged and said, “Brother, are you unwilling to tell me?”

Ji Chen Ai helplessly said, "I just feel that this person is a little familiar." It's been a month since he was reborn. In addition to the original body's memory of Zhou Yaoyun, Ji Chen Ai found that this younger brother appeared carefree on the surface, but was actually very attentive on the inside. He was able to see subtle changes in Ji Chen Ai's expression and moods even before Ji Chen Ai himself realized it. 

Ji Chen Ai should be happy with this, but for some reason, he always felt a little sense of violation. However, facing the innocent Zhou Yaoyun, he couldn't grasp a trace of what was wrong.

Fortunately, Zhou Yaoyun didn't tangle long in this matter. He just took a glance at Ji Suming's back before pushing Ji Chen Ai into the cake shop.

The day after tomorrow was Zhou Yaoyun's 19th birthday. He's two years younger than Ji Chen Ai, but they went to primary school at the same time. Therefore, before Zhou Yaoqin got into an accident, both of them were desk-mate.

These things were very clear in Zhou Yaoqin's memory, and Ji Chen Ai had no doubts about it.

After ordering the cake, Zhou Yaoyun asked Ji Chen Ai what he would like to eat on his birthday. Would he like to go out or celebrate at home?

Ji Chen Ai asked Zhou Yaoyun if he wanted to call his friends to celebrate. After thinking about it, Zhou Yaoyun said, "Brother, how would you wish to celebrate it?"

“It's your birthday,” said Ji Chen Ai.

Zhou Yaoyun said, “But if my brother is unhappy, I won't be happy either."

Ji Chen Ai looked at Zhou Yaoyun's 'there's really nothing to be done' expression. As Zhou Yaoyun had never been this dependent on him, Ji Chen Ai really had no way to reject him after seeing his coquettish actions.

The two of them discussed this for a while, and finally, Ji Chen Ai made the decision. He asked Zhou Yaoyun to call his cla.s.smates and invite them to celebrate his birthday at their place. Zhou Yaoyun agreed and asked Ji Chen Ai what he wanted to eat.

Since the emergence of Xiao Qi, Ji Chen Ai's mentality changed. He knew that he had the chance to stand up, so he was able to bear with the negative emotions stronger than before, and he also no longer cared as much for the gazes of people around him.

A person, as long as there is hope and a goal to strive towards, will always become strong.

After choosing the design and colour of the cake, as well as paying the deposit, Ji Chen Ai and Zhou Yaoyun walked home together.

It was very inconvenient to get on the bus with a wheelchair, and sometimes hard to catch a taxi, so Zhou Yaoyun simply rented a house that was near various places to make things easier for Ji Chen Ai.

Contrariwise, it was far away from his school.

In the evening, after taking a bath, Ji Chen Ai lay on bed and counted the energy value he earned today. He calculated that if there were no accidents, he could temporarily walk next month. Thinking about it, Ji Chen Ai instantly became happy.

Zhou Yaoyun held Ji Chen Ai's leg around his bosom gently and cautiously ma.s.saged it. The expression in his eyes was gentle and tender.

Ji Chen Ai suddenly started talking, "Xiao Yun, say if one day I can walk, how good it would be."

Zhou Yaoyun paused his movements, lowering his head so Ji Chen Ai couldn't clearly see his expression, "Brother, you really want to walk?"

Ji Chen Ai said, "Who wouldn't want to…"

Zhou Yaoyun started ma.s.saging his foot, his fingers gently holding Ji Chen Ai's toes. Warmly, he said, "I thought brother already accepted reality.”

Ji Chen Ai was taken aback, "What did you say?"

Zhou Yaoyun paused for a few seconds before he raised his head, his expression appearing somewhat sad, "Brother, because of you, I learn medicine."

Only then did Ji Chen Ai remember that he was the reason why Zhou Yaoyun chose the University of Medicine. 

He said, "En…"

Zhou Yaoyun stopped talking and continued to ma.s.sage Ji Chen Ai seriously.

In fact, in the beginning, Ji Chen Ai always felt like Zhou Yaoyun was too kind to him, kind to the point where it felt unreal. But after quite some time, he started getting used to how Zhou Yaoyun treated him. Furthermore, if Zhou Yaoyun had any malicious intent towards him, Xiao Qi would definitely set off the alarm.

In this way, Ji Chen Ai felt that he was slightly too sensitive. Maybe because he had been treated badly, when faced with others' kindness, he would begin to have doubts.

Zhou Yaoyun's birthday was in early July, which was just three or four days away from summer vacation. He had to partic.i.p.ate in games during the break, thus he went back home later than usual.

Ji Chen Ai prepared a birthday present for Zhou Yaoyun. He was not short on money now, so he chose a pair sneakers online that cost more than 2,000 yuan If Zhou Yaoyun asked where he got the money, Ji Chen Ai could proudly tell him that he got it from picking up garbage!

As a result, when Zhou Yaoyun got the present, he was so happy that he hugged Ji Chen Ai from behind and didn't let go for quite a while. However, he didn't ask Ji Chen Ai where he got the money to buy sneakers. 

Zhou Yaoyun didn't ask, and Ji Chen Ai was happy that he didn't need to explain it. Looking at Zhou Yaoyun wearing an ap.r.o.n, busying himself in the kitchen, Ji Chen Ai unexpectedly felt happy.

Around 11 p.m, Zhou Yaoyun's cla.s.smates arrived one after another. Most of his friends were from the basketball club, and there were a few who were from the same cla.s.s and had a good relationship with him.

Ji Chen Ai didn't like it when there were a lot of people, so he stayed in his bedroom listening to the noise outside. Using his own keyboard and mouse, he continued earning energy values by posting on forums. It wasn't until mealtime that Zhou Yaoyun came in and brought Ji Chen Ai out to eat.

When Ji Chen Ai was pushed out by Zhou Yaoyun, the people outside went silent for 2 seconds before they made noise again. The girls jokingly asked Zhou Yaoyun, "Was it because your brother is so lovely that you want to hide him and didn't bring him out for others to see?"

Zhou Yaoyun smiled softly and replied, “My brother is quite introverted. Don't make fun of him.”

Although the Zhou family siblings' appearance were somewhat similar, their temperaments were totally different. Zhou Yaoyun was tall, lofty and handsome, completely the popular-sunshine-boy type, while Zhou Yaoqin was the delicate and pretty type with two shallow dimples on his cheeks when he smiled. One of them resembled their father, while the other one resembled their mother. If Zhou YaoQin didn't have problem with his legs, perhaps he would be an elegant young man, too. 

There was no need to speak of Zhou Yaoyun's cooking skills–his cla.s.smates were all too happy to eat his food. The distance between the male cla.s.smates got closer after drinking wine, including Ji Chen Ai who had been pouring a few cups.

Fortunately, Zhou Yaoyun had been helping Ji Chen Ai block the wines that were offered. Everyone was also mindful of Ji Chen Ai's health, so they didn't mind it.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere of the young people in the room became more harmonious. Zhou Yaoyun also drank a lot, but it seemed that he was still a little far away from being drunk.

At this time, a sharp female voice suddenly rang: “Ah! My cell phone is missing!”

The originally boisterous room suddenly quieted down. The girl who claim her cellphone was missing spoke in a somewhat panicked voice, "Can someone call my cell phone?"

A boy sitting next to her took out his cell phone and dialed her number, but a moment later, he said, “The cell phone is turned off.”

Zhou Yaoyun was right in the middle of talking to others just then. He turned his head and asked, "What's the matter, Xiao Mu?"

“Zhou Yaoyun, my cell phone is gone!” said the girl named Xiao Mu.

All the people there looked at each other, somewhat stunned. 

Xiao Mu continued, "The new cell phone that I just bought hasn't been with me that long, but now it's missing…"

The man sitting beside Xiao Mu said, "Did you look for it again? Weren't you playing on your phone just now?"

With a wronged expression, Xiao Mu explained, "I send a post on Weibo and immediately went to the toilet afterwards. However, when I came back, I couldn't find my cell phone. Moreover, if I was careless, how could the cell phone be turned off?"

The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. All the people invited by Zhou Yaoyun were acquaintances, so if there was a thief, that person must be somebody in this room.

The girls around Xiao Mu said, "Don't worry ah, let us try to find it first."

Xiao Mu's expression appeared very aggrieved. She looked like she was about to cry.

Zhou Yaoyun frowned. He hesitated for a moment before he said, "If you can't find it, I'll compensate one for you."

Xiao Mu said, "How can I let you do that? You didn't take my cell phone, but my cell phone also isn't cheap…"

At this time, a girl beside Xiao Mu suddenly hummed, "Lost? How could it be lost? We are all acquaintances. Wait 'till everyone go out and check the bags, I don't believe we can't catch the thief."

Everyone's faces became ugly after they heard her words.

Xiao Mu said, "Xiong, it's not good like this…."

Xiong's eyes glide over, showing indistinct disgust. She coldly said, "What's not good? Everyone didn't move, so the thief wasn't able to relocate the stolen cell phone. Yaoyun will check the male students. The female students will choose 3 people to check each other first before checking others. Things can't go wrong if we do it this way."

Some girls are really quick-witted _(:з」∠)_ I'm so scared.
