"He's my brother?" Lin Xin could not hold back her shock and asked. Gu Cheng even recognized her brother, while she herself didn't. Wasn't this a little strange? She knew that Gu Cheng had been reborn, but the other two families didn't.

Fortunately, the two families were only concerned with sizing up how much Lin Xin and Lou Xiao looked like. The little fellow who was being stared at also grew impatient, struggling to break free from Gu Cheng's grasp on him.

"Be more honest!" Gu Cheng didn't care that Lou Xiao was Lin Xin's little brother. He raised his right hand and smacked his thigh.

It was unknown whether he was frightened by Gu Cheng's tone or by his strength, but Lou Xiao finally gave up struggling. He looked at Gu Cheng with tears in his eyes, looking very wronged.

"Aiya, Little Gu, you can't beat a child like this. Don't you see how pitiful this child is? He's so thin, so he must have suffered quite a bit outside. Alright, alright, stop crying. Grandmother will bring you to eat delicious food. " The Sun family's grandma snatched Lou Xiao from Gu Cheng's hands. Her gaze was as if Gu Cheng had done something wicked beyond redemption.

Lin Xin was still worried that Lou Xiao would hurt Grandmother Sun. She could tell that Lou Xiao was a little abnormal and did not have the slightest bit of childishness about him. He was more like an uncivilized beast, acting by instinct. Ye Zichen didn't expect that he would obediently hug Grandma Sun's neck without moving, while his dark eyes seemed to be filled with happiness.

"Don't worry, Grandma Sun wants to cook for him. As long as there's food, he won't be reckless." Gu Cheng fished out the two remaining candies from his pocket. Just now, he had used a few candies to calm him down. This kid was still the same as in his previous life.

Lin Xin had a lot of questions for him. She knew that there were too many people on the first floor, so she dragged Gu Cheng up to the third floor.

"What exactly is going on? Why is my little brother here? " She paused for a moment. In the end, that person was still her biological mother. The shackles of blood ties were not something that she could really forget just because she wanted to.

"What about my mother? Is she still alive? "

Gu Cheng knew how much she hated her mother and how soft-hearted she was. Holding Lin Xin in his arms, he rubbed his chin against her hair as he explained, "In our previous life, we would only meet them two years later. We were in Huiyang at the time, and we didn't have a lot of time. Later on, we met your mother outside of the black market. She brought along the dazed Lou Xiao to pour incense for someone and also did that kind of business … You know that. "

Speaking of this disgraceful matter regarding the future mother-in-law, Gu Cheng felt a little awkward before he continued, "You've always told me that you no longer have any relatives left in this world. However, on the day I met them, I knew that you were just being stubborn and softhearted, unable to let them go. Then we picked them up and we took them home... After that, they took everything in the family away, and not a single crystal was left for us … "

"I had already planned for this life. Even if I meet them again and get into a mess, we won't care about them anymore …" "I thought I could do it, but when I saw Lou Xiao in the base today, I just couldn't hold it in."

"The necklace on Lou Xiao's neck was hung on your mother's body in my previous life. I only noticed him because I recognized that necklace today. I don't know if it's the butterfly effect or not, but I remember hearing your mother say that after coming to Huiyang with the fugitives, they never left, and I've never heard of them ever coming to the Beijing base. "Now that Lou Xiao has become like this, even the unrelated Sun Yang has raised him for a while. Let's just take him along and eat him in one bite."

Lin Xin raised her head and looked at him, not knowing what to say. He had taken responsibility for taking care of Lou Xiao, and everything had become his idea. She knew that Gu Cheng didn't want her to make things difficult for him. She hated her mother and stepfather, but Lou Xiao was her biological brother and half of his body was covered in the same blood as hers. If she really left him alone, Lin Xin knew that she wouldn't be able to do it.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." She nodded her head in Gu Cheng's embrace, extending her hand to hold him even tighter.

They simply tidied up the guest rooms. With one more person, the blanket seemed insufficient. Gu Cheng reckoned that he would have to go to the Material Exchange tomorrow to change another three blankets. Beijing in October was already very cold.

When they came back, Lou Xiao was sitting obediently on the sofa on the first floor, licking his fingers. His instincts as a wild beast told him that the people around him were not a threat.

When Granny Liu and the others saw Lin Xin and Gu Cheng, they all surrounded them.

"Little Gu, is there something wrong with this child's head? He can't understand anything if I ask him. He only knows how to eat."

"Uncle Milk Sugar, that elder brother stole Little Rascal's lollipop. He's a scoundrel."

"Oh, Lin Xin, your little brother would be frozen if he only wears this little bit of clothes. Hurry up and bring him up to the bed, I told him to ignore me, and after eating he'll just sit on the sofa, not letting anyone else sit."

Lin Xin comforted everyone and explained that her little brother must have been provoked and that his mind wasn't normal. She told everyone to be careful not to provoke him. When she tried to get close to the sofa, Lou Xiao suddenly tightened his thin and small body, threatening to attack.

Gu Cheng was worried that she would get hurt, so he wanted to help, but Lin Xin stopped him with a gesture.

Everyone was also looking on worriedly. They didn't think that this kid wouldn't even recognize their older sister. How could they have known that today was the first time they had met? It was normal that Lou Xiao didn't know her.

"Lou Xiao, come here." When the latter heard her name, she was slightly stunned. Seeing Lin Xin getting closer and closer to her territory, she bared her teeth at her and warned her that she was not allowed to get any closer.

"Be obedient, come here, I'm your sister Lin Xin, where's your mother?"

"Mom?" Lou Xiao repeated the familiar name in a low voice, as if he used to say it to someone in the past.

"He actually spoke." He Meiwei could not hide her surprise as she shouted.

Her words woke Lou Xiao up. Although he felt that the person in front of him looked a bit like the "mother" in his memory, his instincts as a wild beast made him uneasy about Lin Xin's proximity.

"Be careful!" In a moment of desperation, Gu Cheng had forgotten that he had already lost his superpower, so he habitually sent a spiritual barrier towards Lin Xin. Just as he was about to feel remorse, a miracle happened and Lou Xiao crashed into an invisible wall, crashing into the ground in front of Lin Xin.

Lin Xin was already prepared to catch Lou Xiao. She could only watch as Lou Xiao fell from the sky. This kind of familiar feeling … It wasn't just her. The Liu and Sun families were also looking joyfully at Gu Cheng. The latter also looked at his hand in surprise.

But just as he was about to repeat the same trick, his Discipline vanished once more. Lin Xin consoled him by saying that Duan Ming's Six Passages of Divine Sword was still not proficient enough, so it didn't matter. As long as his superpower showed signs of returning, maybe he would be able to recover someday. Everyone nodded in agreement. Only now did everyone remember the forgotten Lou Xiao. He had been knocked senseless by Gu Cheng just now, and when he looked at Lin Xin again, his gaze had turned more respectful. He had thought that the transparent wall had been created by Lin Xin.

Therefore, when Lin Xin called out to him again, Lou Xiao only hesitated for a moment before obediently following Lin Xin upstairs. Gu Cheng followed, still worried.

Lou Xiao had always felt both love and fear for Gu Cheng. He still remembered the candy that Gu Cheng had given him. It was so sweet, a taste that he had never tasted before. He also remembered how shockingly strong this man was. Suppressed by the two 'ferocious beasts' of Lin Xin and Gu Cheng, although he didn't really want to sleep, he still obediently closed his eyes and slept when the man put him under the blanket. He touched his face and kissed it. Lou Xiao wanted to open his eyes to see his mother, but the bed was too soft and too warm. He struggled a bit, but in the end, he didn't wake up.
