“Hello, Grandpa Liu. He used to be our friend in the village. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. I was too excited.” Chen Haoxuan stopped and scratched his head. He said in embarrassment.
“Hello, Elder Liu.” A tall boy with black hair and blue eyes followed behind Chen Haoxuan. He stopped and greeted Elder Liu politely.
Elder Liu sized up the boy from head to toe and turned to ask Chen Haoxuan, “Haoxuan, are you sure this kid is from your previous village? No matter how I look at it, he’s mixed-race.”
“Grandpa Liu, he’s from our village. His name is Chen Ming, his mother is from our village, and his father isn’t from our village. I just found out that his father is actually a foreigner. His blue eyes are just like his father’s.” Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
“Oh, I see. Meng’er is in the backyard now. You guys can go in.” Elder Liu said with a smile. However, Elder Liu was thinking of finding someone to investigate the identity of this mixed-race boy called Chen Ming. If his eyesight had not deteriorated, this boy’s eyes gave him a very familiar feeling.

“Hey, then Grandpa Liu, we’ll go look for Meng’er First.” Chen Haoxuan pulled Chen Ming. They jogged to find Chen Meng’er.
“Your memory is too bad. Grandpa has said this so many times, but you still haven’t changed your hot-tempered temper.” Chen Meng’er had heard Chen Haoxuan’s voice a long time ago, and now she heard the sound of Chen Haoxuan’s footsteps. From the swing hanging on the two towering trees, she jumped down lightly.
“Ah, it’s not like you don’t know my temper. Every time I get excited, I forget. And every time, Grandpa Liu catches me red-handed.” Chen Haoxuan scratched his hair in annoyance, however, in the blink of an eye, Chen Haoxuan threw this annoyance to the back of his mind. “Oh right, Meng’er, take a look. Do you still recognize him?” Chen Haoxuan pulled Chen Ming, who was a head taller than him, in front of him. He smiled and asked with a smug look on his face.
Speaking of which, when Chen Ming was standing in front of him, he didn’t recognize him. In the end, he only recognized him after Chen Ming introduced himself.
When Chen Ming first saw Chen Meng’er just now, he thought that he had seen a fairy who had descended from the sky. When Chen Haoxuan was talking to Chen Meng’er, Chen Ming stared at Chen Meng’er without blinking. He was afraid that if he blinked, the little fairy would fly away.
It was when Chen Haoxuan pulled him back that he came back to his senses.
When Chen Ming came back to his senses, he revealed a rare shy expression. His ears and face were red. It was obvious that he was a pure and innocent boy. Chen Ming did not even dare look at Chen Meng’er directly.

Chen Meng’er looked at Chen Ming, who was taller than her brother, Chen Haoxuan, but had a shy look on his face. She was amused at first. “Chen Ming,” Chen Meng’er answered deliberately.
Chen Ming’s heart trembled when he heard Chen Meng’er call out his name. A silent sense of joy rushed through his entire body. He had never felt that his name was so nice to hear.
Chen Haoxuan let out a miserable cry. “Meng’er, how are you so amazing? You actually recognized Chen Ming. He stood in front of me for half a day, but I still couldn’t recognize him.”
“Who told you to have such poor eyesight?” Chen Meng’er covered her mouth and asked with a smile.
“That’s not right.” Chen Haoxuan, who was slow to react, finally reacted. “That can’t be. Chen Ming is completely different from when he was young. No matter how good your eyesight is, you still can’t recognize him.”
“You’ve improved. I thought you wouldn’t be able to react today.” Chen Meng’er expressed that every time she bullied her second brother, her mood would become especially good. Because of this, Chen Meng’er reflected on herself. However, after she saw that her second brother didn’t seem to be in a bad mood after being bullied by her, she didn’t feel conflicted anymore.
“Meng’er.” Chen Haoxuan expressed that he was very helpless towards his younger sister.
Chen Ming looked at Chen Meng’er’s mischievous appearance and his eyes flashed. His heart rippled slightly. From the moment he was born until now, he had never felt this way. Chen Ming couldn’t help but reach out and touch his chest. That feeling was too wonderful.
“Alright, your voice was so loud before. I just couldn’t not hear it even if I didn’t want to,” Chen Meng’er explained. “Chen Ming, hello. It’s been a long time. I didn’t expect you to have changed so much. I can’t even tell what you looked like when you were young anymore.”
“Yeah, it’s been a long time, Meng’er. You’ve changed so much too.” What Chen Ming didn’t say was that she was becoming more and more beautiful. So beautiful that when he saw her, his heart wasn’t even his own anymore.
Actually, Chen Meng’er’s figure had always been deeply imprinted in Chen Ming’s memory. However, in his memory, Chen Meng’er was still a little girl who looked like a doll. He had never seen such a cute little girl. And, such a cute little girl had given him a lot of help and gave him the courage to continue living.
Therefore, all these years, he had always wanted to find this little girl and properly thank her.
However, he had never expected that the cute little girl from back then would have grown into a beautiful girl. Moreover, she was so beautiful that he fell in love with her at first sight.
Chen Ming, who had just begun to fall in love, knew that his abnormal reaction was because he had fallen in love with Chen Meng’er.

Chen Meng’er, who had a ridiculously low EQ, did not notice at all that Chen Ming was looking at her affectionate eyes. She smiled and said to Chen Ming, “Of course, a girl will change as she grows up. If I don’t change a little, won’t I become an enlarged doll?” Chen Meng’er had heard many people praise her for being cute since she was young.
Chen Meng’er and the other two had Chen Haoxuan as a medium. Soon, the strangeness between the three of them disappeared. The three of them sat there talking and laughing, as if they had suddenly returned to their childhood.
“Hey, Chen Ming, you shouldn’t be called Chen Ming now, right?” Although Chen Meng’er had not checked Chen Ming’s information, with her eyesight, she could tell that Chen Ming was wearing a high-grade custom-made uniform, Chen Ming was not the child of the Chen family village who had been bullied by other children.
In front of his own people, Chen Haoxuan, who was always slow to react, only reacted at this time. “That’s right. Little Ming, tell us about your situation for the past few years.”
