"It's over there. Go straight ahead and you'll see the busiest and most crowded stall. It's right in front of the Yipin Pot. This Yipin Pot is also very easy to spot. There's a sign at the door..."

As the man was speaking, he looked up and was stunned.

Where are the skinny young men around me?
This is going too fast.

Are you so anxious to watch the fun?
But the excitement is really interesting and beautiful. What's more, the mooncakes at Xia Ji Mooncake Stall are delicious. Maybe this person is going to buy some mooncakes to eat...

While that person was thinking, An Yunji had already found Yippin Guo along the road. He even saw a mooncake stall and several busy young ladies at the door of Yippin Guo.

One of the ladies had a beautiful smile, elegant and graceful...

elder sister?

An Yunji's breathing stagnated and his heart almost skipped a beat. The mist rose rapidly, blurring his eyes in an instant.

After sniffing and trying hard to calm himself down, An Yunji rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, took a deep breath, and quickly walked towards the mooncake stall.

The closer he got to the mooncake stall, the clearer the scene An Yunji saw. The face of the person in front of him overlapped more and more with the one in his memory, and his heartbeat became faster and faster...

It's my sister.

He finally found his sister!

He really didn't expect that he would meet his sister in this place!
My sister is still alive and looks fine!

God bless!

An Yunji was extremely excited, and his heart was filled with emotion. In a blink of an eye, he stood in front of the mooncake stall. After staring at the person in front of him again and again, he couldn't wait to call out to him.

But just when An Yunji was about to say "sister", Xia Mingyue noticed something was wrong, raised her head, looked at An Yunji, and said with a smile, "If you want to buy mooncakes, please queue up here."

queue?

An Yunji was stunned.

Sister, didn’t you recognize him?

An Yunji subconsciously looked down at himself, then reached out and touched his cheek.

He was dressed in tight clothes today, which was indeed a little different from his previous appearance in a long robe. Moreover, he had experienced countless killings, and his body was filled with blood, no longer full of the scent of books as before.

But his appearance shouldn't have changed much, especially his lean body, which seemed to have not changed at all, and he couldn't gain weight no matter how much he ate.

How could my sister not recognize him?
An Yunji felt very frustrated, and even looked at Xia Mingyue with some resentment, "You really don't know me?"

know him?
This time it was Xia Mingyue's turn to be surprised, and she looked carefully at the young man in front of her.

He was about the same age as her, tall and slim, with a round face and regular features. He had some childishness, but also a hint of murderousness.

And if you look closely, there is something familiar between his eyebrows...

The more Xia Mingyue looked at the young man in front of her, the more she felt familiar with him. However, no matter how hard she searched in her mind, she could not confirm the identity of the person in front of her.

Pursing her lips, Xia Mingyue asked, "What is your name?"

An Yunji became more disappointed after hearing this, and the expression in his eyes became more complicated.

Could it be that my sister really couldn't recognize him?
Or is there some reason why you can't recognize him?

However, when my sister saw him just now, there was no emotion in her eyes, so this should not be the case.

Or is it that the person in front of me is not my sister, but just looks very similar to my sister?

But are there really people in this world who are this similar?

An Yunji's mind was in a mess. After another long silence, An Yunji decided to confirm, "May I ask Madam Xia's maiden name?"

The people around were all stunned when they heard this.

It is not polite at all for a man to blatantly ask a woman's name.

Xia Mingyue also frowned at this impolite behavior, but raised her eyes to meet An Yunji's gaze.

There was a full sense of inquiry in that look, with a hint of doubt, confusion, and even a hint of grievance and unwillingness, but there was no hostility.

Xia Mingyue could tell that the look was kind and contained a lot of tenderness.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Mingyue looked at An Yunji and said, "Excuse me, please spare me a moment to talk."

"Okay." An Yunji nodded and followed Xia Mingyue into an alley.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Mingyue lowered her voice and answered, "Although I don't know why you asked for my name, I can see that you seem to have a reason to know. In that case, there is no harm in telling you."

"My last name is Xia, and my given name is Mingyue."

Xia Mingyue's voice was very soft, but in An Yunji's heart, it was as loud as thunder.

Yes, yes, Xia Mingyue, you are right!

It’s Xia Mingyue!

It's my sister!
An Yunji's heart was once again in turmoil, and it took a long time to calm down. The mist in his eyes rose again, and even his lips trembled for a long time before he could barely speak, "My surname is also Xia, and my name is Yunji."

Summer... gathering?
Xia Mingyue was stunned again.

The name, like the young man's appearance, seemed very familiar to her.

This familiar feeling was like pushing open a tall, heavy door that had been sealed for a long time, and the things inside suddenly rushed out and drowned her.

She was like a drowning person. She suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and difficulty breathing. After taking deep breaths, she found that her mind was still glaringly blank.

After the glare gradually faded away, only some shabby fragments remained.

Xia Mingyue picked it up carefully and examined it carefully, murmuring unconsciously, "This is my bamboo dragonfly. If you want it, you can exchange it for your kite."

"You need to buy me three full strings of candied haws to shut me up, or I'll tell Daddy that you took yesterday's homework and passed it off as today's to deceive the teacher!"

"Don't bully Wangcai anymore!"

The image of a thin boy became clearer and clearer in my mind. He was playful, cute and lovable when he smiled, but he soon disappeared.

Xia Mingyue was immersed in her memories, but An Yunji burst into tears when he heard what she said, and murmured in a low voice, "Sister..."

elder sister?

Xia Mingyue finally came back to her senses and looked at An Yunji in front of her, "You are, my brother?"

"Yes, I am!" An Yunji wiped his tears with his sleeves, sniffed, and looked aggrieved, "I thought I would never see my sister again..."

Xia Mingyue was also a little choked up.

The original owner's memories were not inherited much, and what he could just recall was also limited. But when it was clear that the person in front of him was the original owner's younger brother, the blood relationship that came from the heart became Xia Mingyue's instinctive reaction.

Xia Mingyue's eyes were filled with tears, but she smiled because she saw her brother. She reached out and stroked An Yunji's face, "It's been a long time since we last met. You've grown a lot."

"Yes." An Yunji agreed repeatedly, nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice. (End of this chapter)
