Chapter 54: Chen Xiaoyi and Youmeng, Welcome Back

But in this life, how could she appear by Big Brother’s side?

“Girlfriend!” Chen Xiaoyi’s face flushed red, the sudden question causing her sharp mind to short-circuit for a moment, shaking her head repeatedly: “Not yet.”

Youmeng narrowed her eyes at the ‘not yet.’

This indicated that this woman indeed harbored such thoughts, which was unacceptable. After finally finding her Big Brother, she wouldn’t let another woman get ahead of her.

A pure yet enchanting smile appeared on her face: “Is that so? I thought Big Brother might have found a girlfriend in the years I was gone.”

As if letting out a long sigh.

Calling him Big Brother one after another, showing the closeness between her and Lu Li, while subtly observing this woman, Youmeng was certainly not as simple as she appeared. Years of struggle, moving on the edge of life and death, some skills were self-taught.

Chen Xiaoyi’s face changed, her gaze at Youmeng starting to become peculiar, as if suggesting she knew Lu Li longer.

“Could this girl also like Lu Li?”

A sourness involuntarily surged in her heart, but then she firmed up. No matter what your relationship with Lu Li was in the past, you’ve been away for so many years, and now, I’m the one by Lu Li’s side.

The two stopped talking, quietly observing each other.

Until the sound of the door opening came from the entrance, and the villa’s door was pushed open.

Youmeng looked towards the newcomer. Even after several hours of calming herself, seeing the person in her heart appear before her again, she couldn’t help her eyes from reddening. She stood up, somewhat ungracefully running to Lu Li’s side. Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, the boy she first met had now turned into a young man.

The years of searching, a lifetime of pursuit, once unreachable and making her willing to risk it all, now stood before her.

“Big Brother, I’ve missed you so much, I finally found you…” Youmeng, with tears streaming down her face, called out emotionally, wanting to tip-toe and offer her lips.

But she was stopped by Lu Li.

“Are you Xiaomeng?”

“Yes, it’s me!” Disappointed for not kissing Big Brother, Youmeng was still excited as she spoke.

“Then where did I first meet you?” Although the woman before him did resemble the Xiaomeng in his memory, Lu Li still wanted to confirm.

“On the road, Big Brother, you took me to find my mom, took me to the law enforcement bureau, and then to Sunshine Orphanage, telling me to listen to the headmistress.” Youmeng didn’t wait for Lu Li to continue asking and poured out everything.

Lu Li nodded silently: “I gave you a gift once. What was it?”

“A little bear!”

These memories had appeared countless times in Youmeng’s dreams; how could she possibly forget?

A smile also appeared on Lu Li’s stern face, looking at the girl who once accompanied him, he opened his arms: “Welcome back, Xiaomeng!”

“Big Brother…” Youmeng couldn’t hold back any longer and threw herself into his arms. It was a reunion after many years, spanning a lifetime, how could she restrain herself?

Tiptoeing, this time, she succeeded, touching Lu Li for a moment, her tears unable to be held back any longer, falling onto the living room’s floor.

Lu Li was not one to stick to conventions. When a beauty threw herself into his embrace, why would he refuse?

Watching the two, seemingly completely ignoring her presence, a bitter sensation surged in her heart. She knew, and had anticipated, that Lu Li wouldn’t only have her, but when this scene unfolded before her eyes, she couldn’t accept it. The sourness in her heart churned wildly, her eyes brimming with tears.

In the days by Lu Li’s side, she felt like she had grown dependent on this man, perhaps because he provided her with a sense of security when she needed it most, perhaps because of his gentleness, but Chen Xiaoyi knew her own heart.

“No matter how many women you have by your side, I still want to be there!” Her heart declared, tears falling uncontrollably to the floor.

She didn’t leave, just watched, until the two separated.

“Alright, let’s sit down and talk. You’ve been standing for so long, you must be tired.”

Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Chen Xiaoyi spoke.

Youmeng couldn’t help but glance at Chen Xiaoyi, confirming after an eye contact that she was a love rival, and a formidable one at that.

***

Lu Li wasn’t embarrassed at all, pulling Xiaomeng to sit on the sofa and also pulled Chen Xiaoyi over, a small gesture that revealed all his thoughts.

“What happened back then, how come you suddenly disappeared? Do you know how worried I was?”

Xiaomeng’s face was full of the happiness of reunion: “Back then, Big Brother, you hadn’t come for so long, I went to find you, but I got lost.”

“Got lost? How have you been these past years, Xiaomeng?”

Lu Li frowned, not expecting Xiaomeng was actually trying to find him.

“A lot happened, but slowly, I got through,” Xiaomeng smiled sweetly, indeed, a lot had happened, but fortunately, Big Brother, you’re still here. No matter how bitter or tough, it’s all worth it.

Now she had the ability to protect her Big Brother; this time, she wouldn’t let anyone harm him again.

Lu Li could tell Xiaomeng didn’t want to answer, so he could only helplessly shake his head.

Gripping her hand with compassion: “These years must have been tough. It’s good that you’re back.”

Being able to see the companion from his childhood again, Lu Li was genuinely happy.

“Being able to see Big Brother, Xiaomeng is really happy.” The pure yet enchanting eyes shimmered, Big Brother was still as gentle as before.

“By the way, Big Brother, I gave myself a name, Youmeng.” As if boasting, Youmeng shared with Lu Li, not wanting him to know about the hardships of these years, but some happy matters, she hoped to share with Big Brother.

“Youmeng!”

“Yes, Headmistress said she hoped Xiaomeng ‘has dreams, safe and sound throughout life,’ so I’m called Youmeng now.” Xiaomeng nodded emphatically, excitedly unaware of the darkening expression on Lu Li’s face.

“Have you been overseas these years? I’ve been looking for you, but no news?”

“Uh-huh, I was taken abroad, working overseas all this time.” Youmeng didn’t hide anything.

Hearing that Lu Li had been looking for her filled her with happiness.

“But don’t worry, Big Brother, I didn’t pick up any bad habits from foreigners. I’ve always been clean. I decided long ago that everything about me would be for Big Brother.” Holding Lu Li’s hand, her gaze filled with tenderness, she couldn’t hold back anymore.
