Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

The two had just finished their pancakes when they sensed a commotion among the crowd. They quickly turned their heads and saw a bus approaching slowly. It looked like it was headed for Hanlin College.

Li Xingchen quickly reached out and took the packaging bag from Zero. The good education he received in his previous life made him determined not to litter in the city.

Sometimes you can still litter in the forest, just like the peach pit he casually spat out by the lake when he was eating it. Now it has grown into a small peach tree. Can this be called littering? He was clearly planting trees!

Li Xingchen trotted to throw away the garbage and immediately trotted back.

The bus just arrived at the stop and opened its doors.

Although the timing was perfect, the crowds today were simply too numerous. Li Xingchen and Zero, the two small figures, were visibly overwhelmed and at a loss as to what to do amidst the throng that crammed the crowd like a honeycomb.

In the end, neither of them could get on the bus.

The bus started slowly and drove away.

Li Xingchen looked at Zero silently. Zero remained silent: There aren't usually so many people here. He knew this route beforehand...

After missing the third bus, Zero began to wonder whether he should rush there with Li Xingchen. The time spent waiting for the bus was enough for them to go back and forth several times, but such an action would inevitably be too conspicuous, so he was reluctant to do so.

It was almost noon now, and registration for the trial should have begun.

At this moment, a gentle voice broke Zero's thoughts.

"Little brother, are you two going to Hanlin College?"

They both turned their heads at the same time, and what came into view were two sweet-looking young ladies. One of them was wearing a short T-shirt and jeans, while the other was wearing a white dress. The one who was speaking was the one in the white dress.

The moment they turned around, the girl in the short T-shirt leaned close to the girl in the white skirt’s ear and sighed softly, “Wow, so cute~ I really want to kidnap her~~”

Since the voice was not deliberately suppressed, both of them could hear it clearly.

Li Xingchen smiled broadly in return and greeted sweetly, "Hello, sister~"

Then, with a slightly aggrieved tone, she said, "My brother and I didn't get on the bus~"

Zero just looked on indifferently without saying a word.

The girl in the white dress obviously liked children very much, and she said in a gentle tone: "Sister is going to Hanlin College too. If you are going too, you can take the bus with us. We didn't get on the bus just now, so we took a taxi. You don't have to wait for the bus here if you go with us~" The tone and manner were exactly the same as when he coaxed Xiao Hei.

After saying this, he looked at them softly, obviously asking for their opinions.

"Thank you, sister~" Li Xingchen thanked him sweetly before turning to ask Zero: "Brother, do we want to join the beautiful sisters?"

Zero glanced indifferently at the two "beautiful sisters".

"it is good."

In this way, the two little ones continued their journey, accompanied by the praises of the two adults, and finally arrived at their destination. Upon learning that the two children were participating in the trials, the two older sisters were filled with suspicion: "How could such young children be without their parents?" They couldn't help but worry, and repeatedly reminded them to be cautious during the competition. If they encountered danger or a huge disparity in strength, they could choose to forfeit. After all, personal safety was the most important thing.

Faced with the earnest advice of the young ladies, the two little guys nodded repeatedly and said that they would pay more attention.

The two girls were so worried that they insisted on personally sending them to the registration entrance before leaving. They had to go to a nearby hotel to check in. After saying goodbye to each other, Li Xingchen and Zero obediently lined up there.

The registration time is relatively early overall. Compared with the number of people at the bus stop just now, there are relatively fewer people queuing up here, and most of the children are accompanied by their parents. Of course, there are also children around eleven or twelve years old who come alone.

It wasn't long before it was their turn. The college receptionist saw the two children and looked behind them. Seeing no adults around, she was obviously a little surprised and asked, "Kids, where are your parents?"

Li Xingchen replied, "Mom and Dad had something to do at home, so they asked my brother and I to come here by ourselves."

Zero: ...

The receptionist nodded without asking any further questions, then asked, "Name?"

"My name is Li Xingchen, and his name is Li Linghao." Li Xingchen pointed at himself and then at Linghao.

Zero: ...When did he change his last name to Li?

"age?"

"My brother and I are both six years old." This was what Li Xingchen and Zero had agreed upon when they arrived.

"ID?"

Zero: ...

Li Xingchen: ...

Damn, how could he forget this? Identity proof is also required in this world. What should he do? Since he started living in this world, he had no idea that this thing existed. Looking at Zero's appearance, it seemed... they were both illegal immigrants!

However, the reception teacher saw that they were both silent, so she said, "Did your parents not give it to you, or did you forget to take it?"

Li Xingchen quickly replied, "Uncle, Dad said this morning that we forgot to take it."

"Do you know mom and dad's phone number?"

"I can't recite it, brother, do you remember it?" Li Xingchen squeezed Zero's hand and asked in a low voice.

Zero understood and pinched Li Xingchen's hand, then looked at the reception teacher and slowly shook his head.

"Uncle, do I need an ID card to register today? Our home is far away from here." Li Xingchen asked timidly.

Seeing this, the receptionist nodded in understanding and replied, "Not entirely. Some families don't want to reveal the information of their descendants too early in the competition, so they will conduct special registration. However, competitions are somewhat dangerous, and those who undergo special registration are generally students in the third grade and above. Special registration requires registration there and a qualification test first."

"Thank you, uncle. Let's go over there."

The two walked hand in hand in the direction the receptionist pointed. At another registration reception desk not far from here, the receptionist was a middle-aged woman in her forties who seemed unapproachable. There were practically no people around here.

"Auntie," Li Xingchen called politely, "My brother and I want to apply for special registration and have our qualifications tested."

There was no way around it. Zero obviously didn't like talking to strangers, so he had to do all these things.
