Chapter 100: Peeling off the cocoon
"Brother, look what delicious food I brought you?"
As Shen Minghui was thinking, he heard Shen Minglei's voice coming from far away. Along with it came an extremely tempting fragrance.
"Come, try it, I just baked it!"
Shen Minghui looked at the roasted sparrow handed to him, and then looked at his brother who was full of expectations. He couldn't help but feel a little amused. Was he being coaxed like a child?
He tore off a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it, then nodded, "Not bad, quite good!"
"Hahaha, right! I've never lost when it comes to roasted sparrows since I was a child!" Shen Minglei smiled happily, and it was obvious that he was very happy to receive praise from his brother whom he had admired since childhood. He passed the roasted sparrow to him again, indicating that he should eat more.
Shen Minghui took a few bites and put it down. Shen Minglei had no choice but to take the remaining roasted sparrow and eat it bite by bite.
"Minglei, how is Linquan? What did you gain from visiting these days?"
While eating roasted sparrow, Shen Minglei said vaguely: "It's pretty good. Although not as prosperous as the provincial capital, it has everything you need despite its small size. People here are easy to get along with, and I have made a lot of friends." Shen Minghui nodded. He knew that his younger brother was always good at getting along with others.
"Minglei, do your brother a favor, okay?" Shen Minghui was unable to move and had no way to go out. After thinking for a while, he finally decided to help Shen Minglei.
"Well, brother, tell me what you want. I will go through fire and water to get it done for you!"
"Hmm," Shen Minghui groaned, and said, "My brother had a girlfriend before..."
"Eh?" This opening shocked Shen Minglei. What? I have a girlfriend? When?
Shen Minghui looked at his brother's reaction and knocked on his head helplessly, "I am 26 years old, not 6 years old. Isn't it normal to have a girlfriend?"
But I haven’t heard you say that!
Shen Minglei muttered softly.
Shen Minghui smiled bitterly and said, "I had planned to bring it back to show my parents after completing this mission, but who knew..."
"Yeah, brother, I get it!" Shen Minglei wanted to punch himself when he saw his brother's expression. He asked cautiously, "So what are you guys like now...?"
Could it be that they broke up? That would be too pitiful for his brother!
"..." Shen Minghui was silent for a rare moment. What kind of brain does his brother have? Has he been able to pass on information since he was injured? Who should he share it with?
Shen Minglei obviously realized that he had asked a stupid question, and the woman obviously didn't know about his brother's situation.
"Brother, what are you going to do? Let me send her a message and ask her to come and see you?"
Shen Minglei seriously suspected that his brother was planning to find an excuse to break up, and he couldn't delay the girl at all!
"Yeah," Shen Minghui nodded. He couldn't go out now. If he didn't let his brother pass on a message, his wife wouldn't be able to come and save him! That's right, save him! In his current situation, it would only take a cup of tea for his wife, but now he could only endure it here.
The problem is that he can only guess that his wife is in Linquan. Where is she? What is the situation? He has no idea!
Every time he only has the memories of the original owner, and he has no idea what will happen next or what role he plays in the plot. Every time he wants to find a wife, he is somewhat passive and relies on various guesses.
This time his role is a wounded retired soldier. He has no fiancée, no girlfriend, no secret crush, and no target person around him.
Shen Minghui could only guess that his family was suddenly moved around the male and female protagonists, which is why he became involved with his wife.
And his father's sudden transfer this time further confirmed his guess. His wife Lin Yuxi is in Linquan. The question is what to do next?
Waiting for him to come into contact with the male and female protagonists, waiting for his wife to finally hear his name and come riding on a colorful cloud to save him from the water?
Sitting there and waiting for death was clearly not his style.
At present, the amount of information is limited, and he can only make blind guesses based on their family’s current situation!
If his father had any contact with the male and female protagonists due to his job position, he would only be a benefactor and provide some conveniences to the male and female protagonists. His mother is just a housewife. Unless the male and female protagonists were speculating and dumping some materials to his mother, there is no connection at all.
And his younger brother, Shen Minglei?
A young man from a big place?
Good-looking?
Sociable, can you find friends anywhere?
Outstanding ability?
No girlfriend yet?
Tsk tsk, his brother's role in the plot is obviously going to be important, maybe he'll be some infatuated male second. So instead of waiting for passive news from his parents, it's better to let the brother take the initiative!
"Minglei, have you met any interesting friends recently? Or heard any interesting news?"
Uh, why did you suddenly change the subject? Aren’t you talking about your brother’s girlfriend?
So his brother is reluctant to part with his girlfriend now and wants to hold off for a while?
"Oh, an interesting friend!" Shen Minglei changed the subject in a cooperative manner. Well, let his brother deceive himself for a while. He didn't find any interesting friends, but he did hear some interesting news. He became interested and told his brother about it.
"Brother, there is a family in the textile factory. It is said that eighteen years ago, the mother gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. As a result, the grandmother took care of them carelessly and didn't notice that the boy was stolen away. The grandmother was scared to death and didn't dare to say anything, so the mother thought she had given birth to a girl. As a result, a while ago, the father of the family saw a boy who looked exactly like him. When he went home and asked, he found out about this. Don't you think it's rare?"
"Oh, there's this thing? What's the name of this family?"
"Oh, it seems to be the Lin family, the child's name is Yuxi or Yuze!"
Lin family?
Yuxi, Yuze?
This unexpected surprise hit Shen Minghui all of a sudden. He looked at Shen Minglei in surprise. Is this the magic of the plot halo? His brother picked out such a piece of news from so many pieces of news and gave it to him!
"Lin Yuxi?"
"Yes... yes! This should be the name! What's wrong?" Shen Minglei looked at his brother in confusion. Is there anything wrong with this name? Aren't there many names like creek, stream, river, and lake these days? Is there something wrong with it?
"Do you know where this family lives?"
Shen Minglei nodded. "Yes, I know! He's from a textile factory. I can find out by asking around. It's not difficult!"
"Well, then go and give a letter to the girl in this house, Lin Yuxi, and tell her that Shen Minghui is looking for her!"
Shen Minglei blinked, and it took him a while to realize what was meant. So, after all this talk, this Lin Yuxi was her brother's girlfriend, his future sister-in-law who didn't even know about his brother's situation?
So what would he say?
