39: Chapter 39: The Real and Fake Young Masters' Bromance in the Eyes! Hello, my name is Chen Jingci!

The voice pack ignored everyone's shattered feelings,

and continued endlessly:

[That disgusting scene of a five-person team fight! This Venerable feels sick just thinking about it.]

[Those four foolish women are still kept in the dark, enthusiastically throwing themselves at the fake goods!]

[If they knew that they had been fantasized about eight hundred times in the heart of this seemingly gentle and refined fake younger brother!]

[I wonder what kind of expression they would make? Hehehehe——]

Chen Fan's whole body went numb after listening.

He stood in place, the muscles on his face twitching like an out-of-control fascia gun.

Brother Hao! Brother Hao, you are my own brother!

I beg you, stop talking! ε＝ε＝ε＝(#＞д＜)ﾉ——！！！

I could barely keep calm just now, thinking that your esteemed self was joking, but now I really can't hold it together anymore!!!

Is this kind of explosive amount of information something a mere voice pack like you can just blurt out?!

Thanks to you! The way I look at the Fake Young Master right now has already started to feel wrong!

I still wanted to get along well with him!

Yet you turned his image from a "gentle and refined aristocratic Young Master of a wealthy family" into a "creep who wanks to his sisters' photos and finds stand-ins to play five-person matches"...

How do you expect me to look him straight in the face later?!

[This Venerable is merely stating facts.]

[What, he dares to do it? Can't this Venerable even talk about it?]

This is not a matter of whether you can talk about it or not!

This is a matter of your terminal cancer-stage delusions!

The Fake Young Master looks so gentle and refined, with a clean aura as if he were raised in a family of scholars!

How can you pin such a filthy hat on him?!

Are you addicted to targeting him or something?

What "sisters and younger brother five-person team fight minigame"...

Where on earth did you learn all these yellow words?!

You should go open an account on the First Edition Master website! It would definitely explode in popularity!

Starting with a monthly income of one hundred thousand!

That has way more future than being a bot voice pack here!!!

Chen Fan inwardly ranted crazily.

Completely failing to notice that the four sisters were standing stiffly in place.

The expressions on their faces changed from guilt to bewilderment, from bewilderment to shock, and from shock to an indescribable sense of disgust.

Xiao Ci?!

Towards them?!

Having that kind of thought?!

Staring at their photos every night—

Wanking?!

And spending money to find women to cosplay them?!

Five-person team fight?! Shouting names?! What's that about the eldest sister using force and the second sister saying no?!

Isn't this purely perverted?!

Wait, wait, wait, wait—

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!!!

Xiao Ci was watched growing up by them, and has always been so well-behaved and sensible since childhood. How could he possibly harbor such filthy thoughts towards them?!

What this bastard younger brother said might not all actually happen!

Just like how he said the family would abuse him, it's all utter nonsense!

It's something that absolutely could never happen!!!

But...

What if?

What if Xiao Ci really...

No, no, no, no, no, no!!!

The four sisters shook their heads frantically, trying to fling this absurd thought out of their minds.

That being said.

Their bodies, however, were much more honest than their brains.

Unknowingly who took a step back first.

Immediately following that.

As if coordinated, the four sisters simultaneously retracted their outstretched arms.

Their steps came to a sudden halt.

Then.

They all took a full three steps backward together.

At this moment, Chen Jingci was still standing in place, keeping his arms outstretched with a smile full of anticipation.

He waited for two seconds, two and a half seconds, three seconds...

The sisters never pounced over, nor did they even draw close.

What on earth is going on???

He slowly opened his eyes and discovered that the four sisters had retreated beyond a very safe, very polite, and very avoidant distance.

Moreover, in the way they looked at him, there seemed to be a sudden addition of something...

That was something very unfamiliar to him, something he had never seen on the faces of these four sisters before.

Avoidance?

That kind of avoidance of "you are a man, I am a woman, and we must keep our distance"???

The moment this thought floated up.

Even Chen Jingci himself found it absurd.

How could that be possible?

He was their most beloved younger brother! He wasn't some stranger?!

How could the sisters possibly develop thoughts of avoiding him?!

Could it be... because of Chen Fan?

Were they afraid that getting too close to him in front of that True Young Master would make the other party feel uncomfortable?

That shouldn't be the case.

They had clearly confirmed it on the phone yesterday...

The sisters did not get along pleasantly with that kid.

How could they possibly neglect him, who they had spent eighteen years with, just to cater to his feelings today?

Chen Jingci's brain spun at high speed, trying to find a reasonable explanation.

But he couldn't find one.

A trace of unease faintly arose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

On the surface, he still wore that well-behaved and innocent smile, his voice gentle without a single flaw, asking with concern:

"Sisters?"

"What's wrong with you guys?"

"Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Or is there something dirty on my body?"

"..."

The four sisters snapped back to their senses, realizing they had overreacted, and instantly felt a bit awkward.

Chen Xuening reacted the fastest, quickly letting out a dry cough.

"It's nothing, nothing! I suddenly remembered that the porridge in the kitchen is still on the stove. If I don't turn off the fire, it's going to burn."

"Xiao Ci, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, right?"

"Eldest Sister will go prepare it for you right now, and we'll eat immediately."

"..."

Finished speaking, she turned her head and walked away.

Her pace was lightning fast, and her back revealed a sense of fleeing in panic.

Chen Yutong closely followed behind, her voice gentle, but her speaking speed was two gears faster than usual:

"I'll go help Eldest Sister."

"..."

Finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Chen Nianan hugged her drawing board, took a step back, and then took another step back.

Then she nodded silently, indicating that she would also go help, turned around, and trotted to catch up with the two older sisters.

The speed was so fast it could be called the bravest retreat of a socially anxious person.

Chen Xingyue, who stayed behind last, looked down at her navel-barring camisole and low-waisted shorts.

Silently pulling the zipper of her jacket up to her chin.

Then, while backing away, she gave a dry laugh and said:

"You just got out of the hospital and need to eat something light and easy on the stomach. Fourth Sister will go prepare some side dishes for you."

"..."

Finished speaking, she quickened her pace to catch up with the three older sisters.

The four sisters hurried along, moving so fast as if a ghost were chasing behind them.

Just as they were about to step through the door!

They brushed past Chen Fan, who was standing in place in a daze.

Chen Xuening suddenly stopped her footsteps.

Turning around, she pulled Chen Fan into her embrace in one swift motion.

This embrace came so abruptly!

Before Chen Fan could react, Eldest Sister had already let go of him and entered the house without looking back.

"???"

As soon as he stood steady, Second Sister hugged him as well.

Her embrace was much gentler than Eldest Sister's, carrying a faint scent of disinfectant and a certain indescribable cool floral fragrance.

Her chin rested gently on top of his head for a second, patted his back, let go, smiled, and turned around.

"??????"

Chen Fan hadn't finished digesting the meaning of this embrace yet.

Chen Nianan had already stood in front of him.

Since one of her hands was still hugging her drawing board, she could only use one arm to gently wrap around his waist.

So lightly as if the hem of his clothes had been blown by the wind.

But the faint smell of paint and pulp on her body made Chen Fan inexplicably recall a certain scent he had smelled at the orphanage when he was a child—not fragrant, but warm.

Then Third Sister also left.

"???????"

Chen Fan's brain was still crashing.

Chen Xingyue had already taken a stride forward and hugged him.

Her embrace was as passionate as her personality, her arms locking around him with a strength so great his ribs were protesting.

She even stood on tiptoe and ruffled his hair.

Then she let go and strode to catch up.

Throughout the entire process, the four sisters didn't say a single word.

Chen Fan was blasted into complete bewilderment by the four sudden embraces.

He stood blankly in place, watching the backs of the four sisters disappear into the depths of the living room.

What on earth happened???

Weren't the sisters going to hug the Fake Young Master?

Why did they suddenly line up to hug me?

His brain was a mess, yet he didn't notice...

When Chen Xuening was hugging him, what she was thinking in her heart was:

"It's still better to have a biological younger brother."

"Hug whenever you want to hug, without having to think about all those random nonsense."

"..."

Chen Yutong was also thinking: "The thing called Bloodline, it turns out having it or not really makes quite a difference."

"..."

What Chen Nianan thought was even more direct: "Hugging a biological younger brother has no psychological burden, but hugging Xiao Ci might have one in the future."

"..."

Chen Xingyue thought the most directly: "A younger brother with a blood relation just feels secure to hug!"

"Unlike Xiao Ci, the moment I think he might have that kind of thought toward me, I get goosebumps all over my body!"

"..."

For the first time, the four sisters truly realized.

Blood relation is an innate bond, an intimacy carved into bones and blood.

Hugging Chen Fan was open and upright sibling affection, fair and square, requiring no avoidance, no suspicion, with a clean and steady heart.

But hugging Chen Jingci?

Without blood relation to back it up.

Once certain filthy and secretive thoughts were imagined, all intimate actions would become ambiguous and glaring, harboring landmines everywhere.

Of course, it's not to say that their eighteen years of sibling affection with Xiao Ci were fake.

Rather, that indescribable intimacy is indeed innate, unbreakable, and requires no avoidance...

On the other side.

Chen Jingci, who was originally full of ambition and complacency, stood alone in place.

His arms still maintained the outstretched posture, only that no one cared anymore.

He slowly lowered his sore arms, the smile on his face still gentle, showing no abnormality.

But deep in his eyes, an extremely subtle trace of gloom flashed past.

The sisters didn't hug him; he could interpret it as avoidance, as scruples, as various reasons.

But the sisters turned back and, right in front of him, hugged Chen Fan one by one.

This made it somewhat unacceptable for him.

Could it be that they only cared about the True Young Master's feelings? Did they not care about his own feelings at all???

Damn it!

It seems that this timid kid still holds some weight in the sisters' hearts.

However, so what?

Mere Bloodline bond, illusory and laughable.

The warmth of eighteen years spent day and night together, the attentive companionship of countless days and nights, the partiality and pampering cultivated by the whole family.

How could it possibly compare to a stranger who returned halfway and had zero emotional foundation?

He firmly believed that affection grows over time, that ties rely on accumulation, and that the sisters were only temporarily dazzled by the novel word "blood relation".

Once the novelty passes, everything will return to normal.

In this game of sibling affection, the one who wins in the end will definitely be him.

He is the true Young Master of this family.

He is the target of collective pampering by the Chen family.

Chen Fan is merely an outsider who abruptly barged in.

Chen Jingci pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, a calm smile rose on the corners of his mouth again, and he stepped toward Chen Fan.

He wanted to have a formal clash with this True Young Master and test his true depth.

And behind him.

Chen Jianguo and Wang Xiaoyun stood in place with weird expressions.

Of course they had heard Xiao Fan's explosive inner voice just now.

Xiao Ci would have that kind of thoughts toward the four sisters in the future???

Staring at photos every night—that thing?

And spending money to find women to cosplay—that thing???

To be honest, rationally they were unwilling to believe it.

Xiao Ci was watched growing up by them, well-behaved and sensible since childhood, of upright character, and held great respect for his sisters.

How could he possibly generate such filthy and distorted thoughts???

But then again—

What if?

A one-in-ten-thousand possibility is still a possibility.

They definitely wouldn't dare to gamble with the safety of their four daughters.

To prevent trouble before it happens.

The couple had already decided in their hearts to prohibit their daughters from spending time alone with Xiao Ci in the future.

Even if they were just at home, someone must be present at all times.

They certainly didn't want their adopted son to turn into a son-in-law!

Thinking of this.

The couple simultaneously looked toward the bewildered teenager at the doorway.

Just now they had also confirmed one thing.

Only people connected by blood could hear Xiao Fan's inner voice.

Because they specifically observed the adopted son's reaction.

Finding that when that explosive inner voice sounded, the adopted son's expression didn't change at all, maintaining that gentle and well-behaved smile throughout.

This was enough to show that he didn't hear anything.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be so calm.

Proving that this superpower can only be shared by those connected by blood with their Chen family.

The adopted son didn't have this ability because there was no thick-as-blood connection between them.

Realizing this point.

The couple's gazes toward Chen Fan unconsciously changed.

Deep in their hearts arose a profound and genuine emotion.

So this is the real sense of a Bloodline?

It's not just the cold string of numbers on the DNA test report, not just the biological evidence that you look like me and I look like you.

But a deeper, more profound connection that cannot be replaced.

The ability to eavesdrop on inner voices, this secret, belongs solely to the people of their Chen family.

Belongs solely to family members connected by blood.

Outsiders can never replicate this bond no matter what.

Of course, the adopted son they raised for eighteen years, they would still love, still cherish, and still treat equally.

But they had to admit, some bonds are simply innate.

No matter how much Acquired effort is put in, it is impossible to fill that vacancy.

Just as the couple's thoughts were flying!

Chen Jingci had already put on a gentle and harmless smile, arriving in front of Chen Fan.

Chen Fan also happened to look over.

Their eyes met!

An intensely passionate gaze!

Chen Jingci smiled and nodded, extending his right hand politely, saying in a friendly manner:

"You must be Xiao Fan, right?"

"Nice to meet you, I am Chen Jingci."

"The child who was mixed up with you back then is none other than me."

"..."
