Senior brothers, please stop abusing me. I'm going to change my ways to be merciless.

Fan Li was startled and her eyes widened.

The pawnshop owner grabbed Fan Li's arm, his tone urgent, his face flushed with excitement.

Mei Nianzhi had an excellent memory. He looked up at the old man and quickly recognized that he was the pawnshop owner who had helped him and his sister.

Mei Nianzhi didn't expect to meet him here, and he didn't expect Fan Li and the pawnshop owner to appear at the same time.

Fan Li was surprised and said, "Master Mei." He was actually related to the longevity lock? Could he have made a mistake?

Just at this moment, an exquisite longevity lock slipped out from Fan Li's lapel and caught Mei Nianzhi's eyes.

He was suddenly startled.

An incredible thought popped up in my mind.

Does Fan Li already know his identity?

Did she remember everything?

In just a few breaths, Mei Nianzhi's mood changed from joy to heaviness, but his expression remained calm from beginning to end, making it difficult to understand.

Fan Li's mood was also very complicated. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she helped the pawnshop owner get out of the car.

The old man came up to Mei Nianzhi, looked at him intently, and said, "Sir, it's you. Don't you remember me?"

Mei Nianzhi noticed that Fan Li had been looking at him, but he did not look up at her.

Even without meeting her gaze, he knew that Fan Li's eyes were full of anticipation.

Mei Nianzhi paused, sighed in his heart, and changed his words.

"I remember, how could I not remember?"

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Fan Li's stunned expression.

Xiao Yan looked at Fan Li, then at Mei Nianzhi, wondering if they were going to recognize each other. He couldn't be absent at such an important moment!

Xiao Yan came over.

The pawnshop owner was delighted and looked at Fan Li: "See, I told you, if I see him again, I will definitely recognize him!"

As he spoke, he cast his gaze upon Mei Nianzhi's extraordinarily handsome face, feeling a surge of emotion.

"You are still so young, but I already have a head full of white hair."

Mei Nianzhi smiled but said nothing.

Fan Li finally couldn't help but ask: "You recognize this longevity lock, then you are..."

Mei Nianzhi then slowly turned his gaze towards her and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that this longevity lock belonged to you. It turns out that you are the one I have been looking for for a long time. It is truly fate. But I am afraid that you will be disappointed. I am not your brother."

"That's it."

Fan Li lowered his eyes, his tone showing a hint of loss that he couldn't conceal, yet he didn't seem surprised.

In past and present lives, Fan Li never thought that he would have any intersection with Mei Nianzhi.

Mei Nianzhi was her brother? Fan Li didn't even dare to think about it.

Seeing that he denied it, Fan Li felt inexplicably relieved.

After all, I have the memories of my previous life. If we were really siblings, I don’t know how to get along with him.

Fan Li was slightly distracted and did not notice Xiao Yan's abnormality.

Xiao Yan waved his hand with a bored look on his face and walked away.

"But you can also call me brother."

Mei Nianzhi's voice was warm and gentle. He took out one hand and gently touched Fan Li's forehead with his fingers.

Fan Li instinctively wanted to hide, but she held back.

She looked up at him and blinked a little dully.

Mei Nianzhi placed his hand on the longevity lock again and rubbed it slowly.

The longevity lock has her body temperature on it, and it is very warm.

"Your brother and I are good friends. We made an agreement that if he were to pass away, I would take good care of you on his behalf."

"When the incident happened in Yueguo, we got separated. When I found him, you were gone too. I've been looking for you all these years. It's all my fault that I didn't even recognize you..."

To be honest, Fan Li had never heard Mei Nianzhi say so many words in her two lifetimes combined.

Fan Li pursed her lips, looked at Mei Nianzhi and asked, "So, my brother is no longer alive?"

Mei Nianzhi nodded slightly.

The pawnshop owner quietly stepped aside and stood with Xiao Yan.

The old man's eyes were red, and he wiped away his tears with emotion and heartache, muttering, "I didn't expect that the child is still gone."

Xiao Yan glanced at him: "......"

Mei Nianzhi looked at Fan Li, his heart ached, and he said softly, "Don't be sad."

Fan Li turned her face away, not feeling sad, but having complicated feelings.

She had no memory before the age of six and did not remember having a brother, so to be precise, she had no feelings for this brother.

It's just a little regretful to know that he is no longer alive.

A familiar feeling of loneliness washed over her. She had thought she could still find her true family. Anyway, she had long been accustomed to loneliness.

Fan Li smiled at Mei Nianzhi and said calmly, "Thank you, I'm fine."

"Then...are you willing to call me brother?"

Mei Nianzhi said so much, but this sentence was spoken softly and slowly, revealing a sense of caution.

Fan Li, with mixed feelings, said softly, "Brother."

Mei Nianzhi's eyes were moved. He reached out and held Fan Li in his arms, whispering, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm late."

Fan Li patted his shoulder and said, "No need to apologize."

Tears glistened in Mei Nianzhi's eyes.

He should apologize.

If he hadn't recognized the wrong person in his previous life, how could his precious sister have suffered so much?

He will never forgive himself.

The brother and sister have different thoughts.

At this moment, Fan Li finally understood why Song Xixi in her previous life treated the longevity lock as trash after getting it.

It turns out that owning the Longevity Lock is equivalent to having Mei Nianzhi's support.

No wonder after Mei Nianzhi passed away, Song Xixi's attitude changed drastically and she threw away the longevity lock casually.

In this way, Song Xixi still occupied her identity.

A cold look flashed across Fan Li's eyes.

It's ridiculous.

They all said that she had taken over Song Xixi's identity and enjoyed happiness for more than ten years.

But didn't Song Xixi still steal her identity and take away everything that originally belonged to her?

Who is the thief?

After being reborn, God is helping her.

If it wasn't for the coincidence that he got a ride on the Lin family caravan, would this longevity lock have fallen into Song Xixi's hands again?

She wanted to see if Song Xixi could still be as successful and successful as in her previous life without Mei Nianzhi's help.

The man had a pleasant plum blossom scent, fresh and elegant, and his fox fur was soft. A strand of fox hair tickled Fan Li's nose.

"Ah!"

She couldn't help but sneeze.

Mei Nianzhi was slightly startled, "Cold?"

Fan Li took two steps back and said, "No, I'm allergic to fox fur."

Mei Nianzhi reacted immediately and took off the priceless fox fur and threw it away.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that you've never been around a fox before."

Fan Li waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay."

After sending the pawnshop owner away, Mei Nianzhi took out a black box from his storage ring and handed it to Fan Li.

"It's a meeting gift from my brother."

Fan Li looked at the familiar black box in front of him in disbelief.

"Could it be that the bones of the snow dragon are contained in this?"
