In his sleep, Li Chi felt himself sinking in the warm light.

When he opened his eyes again, Li Chi clearly realized that he was dreaming.

The surrounding scenery is familiar yet strange.

It is still the same villa, but it is no longer as depressing and cold as it is now.

Sunlight streamed through the bright windows onto the wooden floor, and the air was filled with the faint scent of home that he had almost forgotten.

It was the aroma of cookies that his father would occasionally bake when he was still alive, and the scent of perfume that his mother sprayed on herself, which he couldn't name.

Everything is clean and bright.

Nineteen-year-old Li Chi, wearing a clean shirt and walking barefoot on the smooth floor, walked forward in a trance, following his memory.

He pushed open the familiar door of his childhood room.

The sun is shining brightly inside the door.

A strange young man with a tall figure and a handsome face that was almost dazzling was standing in front of the window facing him sideways.

The hazy light outlines the boy's neat features, as if warm jade is immersed in the halo.

The boy heard the noise and turned around. When he saw the person at the door, a soft smile appeared in his eyes.

Li Chi stood at the door, staring into his eyes in a daze.

He saw the unique look in the boy's eyes, and his heart seemed to be hit. He hesitated and was a little uncertain.

"……elder brother?"

Jinchen was a little surprised, then his smile deepened and he replied in a gentle voice, "Yeah."

He extended his hand towards Li Chi, "How did you recognize me, Xiao Chi?"

Hearing this familiar response, Li Chi's tense body relaxed and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

He walked towards Jinchen, his voice was soft but firm, "I know that brother is different from others..."

Jinchen was very satisfied with the answer, so he didn't ask any more questions and opened his arms.

"Come, let me hug you."

Li Chi walked up to him.

The face in front of me is clearly unfamiliar, yet it is so familiar that I feel as if I have seen it thousands of times in the depths of my soul.

He was embraced in Jinchen's arms, his face turned to the side, gently leaning on his shoulder. A reassuring scent lingered around his nose, and his heart seemed to be filled with warm spring water, swelling with warmth.

"Brother..." Li Chi called out softly again.

Jinchen tightened his arms, rubbed his chin lightly against Li Chi's soft head, and responded softly.

His warm palm stroked the back of Li Chi's neck and pinched his slightly cold earlobe.

"Xiao Chi, this is your dream," Jin Chen's voice rang close to his ear. "Is this the place you most want to dream about?"

Li Chi leaned on Jinchen's shoulder, looked around the room full of sunshine and warm memories, nodded, and then buried his head again.

"Ever since they moved in," Li Chi said softly, his voice bitter, "everything has changed."

"It's okay." Jinchen ruffled his hair gently. "Once we drive them away, we'll restore this place to its original state."

"Not only in dreams, but also in reality, you can see it as it was originally."

Li Chi nodded obediently and couldn't help but snuggle into Jinchen's arms again.

This sense of security is something that no one else can give him; it is his unique harbor.

Suddenly, Li Chi shrank his neck and looked up at Jinchen in confusion.

Jinchen looked down at him, "What's wrong?"

Li Chi raised his hand and touched the back of his neck where Jin Chen had pinched him just now, confused.

“…Why does it hurt a little? Isn’t this a dream?”

Jin Chen smiled and gently tapped Li Chi's smooth forehead with his finger, "Because this is a special dream."

Li Chi didn't fully understand, but that didn't stop him from trusting his brother unconditionally.

A smile slowly spread across his pretty face, obedient and soft.

Jinchen leaned back and let him sit on his lap.

Li Chi was a little shy and embarrassed at first, with her ears slightly red, but it was soon replaced by a surging attachment. She relaxed her body and pressed her cheek softly against Jin Chen's warm chest, feeling her eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

Li Chi had no idea when he fell into a deep sleep again.

Qiu Juan was already worried about money and Li Fendou's bad debts. She was crying to her card-playing friends in the living room when her cell phone suddenly rang like a death warrant.

When she saw the international number displayed on the screen, her heart suddenly tightened.

It’s Lin Wan.

Qiu Juan thought the money was finally coming, so she quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello? Lin Wan?"

Lin Wan's voice on the other end of the phone sounded very gentle, "Sister Qiu, I want to video chat with Xiao Chi. I haven't seen the child for a long time, and I want to see him."

Qiu Juan broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

She forced a smile and said, "Oh, this... this is not very convenient, right?"

"You know, Xiao Chi can't speak, so video chatting is pointless. It's so painful to just watch..."

"It's okay," Lin Wan said, "I just want to see him and see if he's doing well. No need to say anything, just let me take a look."

Qiu Juan's heart sank to the bottom, and her fingers holding the phone turned white from the force she exerted.

She couldn't find a more reasonable excuse to refuse, so she could only bite the bullet and agree, "That... okay. But unfortunately, Li Chi went to summer camp these two days. He just left and won't be back for a few days."

"When he comes back, I'll make sure he video chats with you, okay?"

After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Qiu Juan felt her back soaked with cold sweat.

She didn't forget that Li Chi could speak!

If this video is sent, everything will be over!

Li Fendou, that bastard, is unreliable, and Li Qiang is still a useless coward...

"Mom, what's wrong?" Li Donglai came out of the room and saw Qiu Juan looking distraught.

Qiu Juan quickly grabbed him and told him everything about Lin Wan wanting to have a video and her concerns.

Li Donglai listened, thought for a moment, lowered his voice, and leaned closer to Qiu Juan: "Mom, what if... Li Chi accidentally got into an accident?"

"For example, if you fall and hit your head, or twist your ankle, the injury isn't serious, but you need to stay in the hospital for two days for observation..."

He paused and looked into Qiu Juan's eyes. "In this way, Lin Wan's video call will naturally not be possible. And..."

"It's a good opportunity to send him to the hospital... for a checkup. To see if there really is another being living inside him."

Qiu Juan had no objection. "Okay, okay, that's it. You have a class reunion tomorrow, so I'll leave this matter to you."

in the room.

Jinchen leaned against the headboard, and on the laptop screen in front of him, several small windows were clearly divided.

The real-time monitoring images of the living room, dining room and corridor are also clearly transmitted to the headphones.

Qiu Juan and Li Donglai's whispered conspiracy fell into his ears without missing a word.

He looked at Qiu Juan's calculating face on the screen, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up.

Jinchen raised his hand and pinched his earlobe habitually, as if weighing something.

"Xiao Chi," Jin Chen said softly, "let's have a big one."
