Chapter 28.1

Liang Shuangqi was taken aback.

He then turned to Chu Xiaoxiao for confirmation, “Xiaoxiao, is this your brother?”

Chu Xiaoxiao nodded, “Yes.”

Liang Shuangqi looked up at Chu Xiaoyi. A thoughtful expression crossed his face as he blinked, “He’s not quite what I imagined.”

Chu Xiaoxiao asked, “What did you imagine?”

Liang Shuangqi gestured with his hand, “Not so tall.”

Liang Shuangqi had heard Chu Xiaoxiao mention her brother before, but he had thought he was just a kid. He didn’t expect him to be an adult.

After all, Chu Xiaoxiao had said her brother was wandering outside, and he had assumed she was worried he had been kidnapped by human traffickers, which was why she was so anxious.

? What kind of evaluation is that?

Chu Xiaoyi put on a professional smile, “Little friend, where do you live? Shall I take you back?”

Chu Xiaoxiao and Liang Shuangqi had already waved goodbye to Yang Yin. She had gone back to the dormitory with her backpack, leaving only Liang Shuangqi who suddenly appeared. Since Liang Shuangqi didn’t bring his cello home today, he looked quite relaxed and didn’t have anything with him.

Liang Shuangqi didn’t let Chu Xiaoyi accompany him. He waved to Chu Xiaoxiao and calmly walked away, saying, “See you later, Xiaoxiao. I’m going home now, I’ll come visit you next time.”

Chu Xiaoxiao remembered that Liang Shuangqi had keys in his pocket, so he could probably get in easily. She didn’t say anything more.

Chu Xiaoyi, on the other hand, looked puzzled and hesitated, “Is this your classmate from Latin class? Does he happen to live in the same neighborhood?”

Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head, “No, Brother Qiqi was in the next classroom practicing the cello, and we happened to run into him.”

Chu Xiaoyi’s expression was quite subtle; he felt that being called a “brother” by a six or seven-year-old boy and being a “brother” himself didn’t quite match up.

However, Chu Xiaoxiao’s address seemed fine. After all, other three or four-year-old kids might call him “uncle”.

Chu Xiaoyi, now twenty-three, was at an awkward age for being addressed. Mentally, he felt like a “brother,” but whenever he went outside, he was called “uncle.”

The “ Our Family over Several Generations ” team had returned to Yurong Residence, and Xiao Hei was still in his original place, undergoing a thorough inspection from Chu Xiaoxiao.

She held the camera lightly, her brows furrowed in concern, “Xiao Hei, you’ve lost weight.”

The backstage camera didn’t quite know how to respond and could only let Chu Xiaoxiao ponder the weight of the camera.

The barrage section instantly became lively. As Xiao Hei’s perspective was so interesting, it was as if Chu Xiaoxiao was lifting its chin.

Bored netizens suddenly became joyful, flooding the comments with phrases like “This line alone makes this episode worthwhile,” “Without me at home, it gained six pounds; the teacher sees a skinny person,” “Is the camera secretly lifting weights?” and more.

The theme of the latest episode of “ Our Family over Several Generations ” was “Entertaining and Visiting,” testing Chu Xiaoyi’s dual role as a host and a guest. After discussing it with his parents, Chu Xiaoyi decided to visit his grandparents together.

After all, Grandma, his younger uncle, and others would be spending the Chinese New Year at home. However, his grandparents weren’t in the capital in the meantime.

Chu Jiadong and Xiao Bi had gone to pick up medicine early in the morning. They had specially ordered medicine for their grandparents before the New Year and planned to deliver it in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Xiaoyi stayed at home. They were supposed to have a leisurely morning, but someone knocked on the courtyard door.

Soon after, the audience watching the TV show noticed the appearance of a new, mysterious character.

At first, Chu Xiaoxiao was engrossed in watching cartoons inside the house and hadn’t noticed anything unusual in the yard. However, Chu Xiaoyi, upon hearing the noise, went out to investigate. Without even changing his slippers, he rushed out and saw the young boy from the previous day, holding a big black cat and waving at him with a calm expression.

Chu Xiaoyi walked toward the gate while turning back to shout inside, “Xiaoxiao, your friend is here!”

Seeing that the other person opened the gate for him, Liang Shuangqi politely said, “Thank you, brother.”

Seeing the young boy again today, Chu Xiaoyi felt that Liang Shuangqi was a polite and well-behaved child. He temporarily forgot about Liang Shuangqi’s earlier statement of “this is my younger sister.”

Liang Shuangqi held the elegant-looking black cat and eventually stopped on the steps of the courtyard, not stepping inside.

Seeing that both the boy and the cat suddenly stopped, Chu Xiaoyi couldn’t help but look puzzled, “What’s going on?”

“Please wait a moment.” Liang Shuangqi took out a wet tissue from his pocket, carefully spread it out on the steps, and placed it in front of his black cat, Liang Site.

The next moment, the big black cat casually stepped onto the tissue. It leisurely wiped its paws on it, as if it had done this countless times before. It cleaned its paws and then nodded solemnly at Chu Xiaoyi, a gesture of greeting to its owner.

Chu Xiaoyi stared at the cat’s human-like behavior, looking completely dumbfounded, “… It’s quite polite, isn’t it?”

Liang Shuangqi also changed into slippers at some point. He casually picked up the wet tissue and asked, “Excuse me, where’s the trash bin?”

Chu Xiaoyi helped Liang Shuangqi dispose of the wet tissue and saw him washing his hands at the sink before coming inside to play with Chu Xiaoxiao.

[Don’t let this tiger with piercing eyes and white forehead* be delayed in going to college, will you?]

*T/N: That’s what the commenter refers to himself. Refer to Xiao Hei’s Little Classroom in the previous chapters to know what he’s referring to

[Cxy* is really diligent ah, wearing slippers in the courtyard. Even the child and the black cat know how to keep the floor clean.]

*T/N: Chu Xiaoyi

[I’ve been single for too long, even seeing a cat makes me feel heartwarming.]

Chu Xiaoxiao didn’t expect Liang Shuangqi to suddenly visit. She was delighted to see her little friend and the black cat. Excitedly, she exclaimed, “Qiqi, Liang Site!”

Chu Xiaoyi thought the young boy’s timing was great. If he could finish entertaining both him and the cat, he wouldn’t need to find another guest to fulfill the show’s requirements. He handed Liang Shuangqi and the black cat each a glass of water – the former in a glass cup and the latter in a short disposable paper cup.
