Following Yi Huian's footsteps, Yi Zhaochen slowly walked through the long and narrow corridor.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the police hat in front of him, saying nothing. Yi Hui'an was also rarely quiet. In his mind, this sister was always too noisy. Even if others thought it was okay, he felt that every sentence sounded harsh. Although the relationship between brother and sister is not incompatible, it can be said that there is an undercurrent.
"Because they are very, very important attendees. I think it's time to introduce them to you."
"You've stressed this many times."
"Because it's really important."
As she spoke, she turned around and walked backwards. Yi Zhaochen didn't like the way she smiled at this time, because according to usual experience, what she was going to say and the person she was going to meet must be important, but it could also cause him a lot of trouble. Usually she "shares" some of the bad things with him because she can't handle them all by herself.
"After all, we are also family, right? I will tell you at the right time. This is something that even Section Chief Bai doesn't know, but... Hanying doesn't know either. You also understand that there are many dangerous projects , it’s better not to let her participate. She is still young, only in her twenties, and she grew up in her hometown, so she was very well protected.”
"yes."
Yi Zhaochen responded to the last sentence casually. He looked at Hui An's bangs swaying with her steps, and the two thin strands of yellow hair were particularly dazzling. Hanying does not have the same mother as them, but her mother is more favored. The year she was conceived, her father placed the concubine in her hometown, away from the bombardment of the front line and the intrigues of official circles. In an underdeveloped place, with the resources supported by her father, Hanying spent a carefree and prosperous childhood.
Thanks to her mother's good teaching, she grew up to be a well-educated and cheerful person. This is completely different from Zhaochen and Hui'an who experienced an almost cruel childhood. The so-called first wife of the Yi family, the first son of the Yi family, should have attracted much attention and endured countless expectations. He was personally trained by his father since he was a child, and he could not lose the knowledge he gained in school. I often practice all day long and have to study hard at night. When the children of his father's comrades were playing and running happily under the moonlight, Zhaochen, who was sitting in the house and listening to all this, felt very uncomfortable. But when I think about it, all of this is a sign that I am valued, all of this is for my father to let him inherit his family business, all of this is for his need to be independent in the future, then no suffering is unbearable.
In terms of teaching, Yi Shuai is not a rough man who only knows how to fight. When it was time to go to college, Zhaochen was placed in a school that his father and others participated in the construction of. It was a military school with new education, and of course he also accepted formal examinations. His father was indeed a good teacher. Although he gave him a relatively repressed childhood, his learning ability was much better than that of ordinary people, let alone those children of warlords who came in through connections. He has little experience in getting along with peers, and lacks the experience of growing up as ordinary children, so naturally he cannot play with them. Although he does a good job on the surface, in his heart he does not look down on those partners who share the joys and sorrows. Most of the time, he would develop a vague sense of superiority to numb the emptiness in his heart.
Although neglect of bad habits caused Zhaochen's eyesight to be poor in his childhood, in today's era, it is not difficult to correct it. He quickly showed talents other than reading and physical fitness. This was naturally noticed by the keen instructors, and they naturally focused on training - with the best results, he became one of the best snipers in the world.
After graduation, Yi Zhaochen also went to the battlefield with his father. His father was never a man of words. Although he will not be pushed directly to the front line, which is tantamount to death for a young man who lacks actual combat experience, he will never be hidden in the safe rear like other senior cadres. No matter how criticized his father's life style was, at least he did not raise objections to this aspect of his concept.
No matter on the battlefield or off the battlefield, he set up his sniper rifle at the most suitable position and made outstanding military exploits. He never hesitates to display his dazzling medals, and he is never afraid of jealous eyes and unwarranted gossip. This has been true even since school days when I really started hanging out with my peers. However, although he was reserved at that time, he did not have a few close friends. Although they went their separate ways after graduation, these memories are still particularly valuable in his heart.
If it were just life up to the point described above, it would be considered smooth sailing.
If there is no such person.
"There is nothing to envy. Having a sister is not a good thing." He once told his brothers, "From the time I was born, I have been earning yours and grabbing yours. The attention, resources, and support that should have belonged to you have all been tilted towards me. Where they don't belong. It's like all the support your family has given you has become a foil to who you are. And because of this, she will take it all for granted - she never even feels like a predator .Whoever wants such a sister, I will give it to you for free."
The classmates saw Yi Zhaochen with a straight face all the time. In fact, he smiled more often than he did in his childhood when freedom was limited. Only a few close brothers can see this side. Therefore, when discussing the elders and children in the family, he suddenly showed that sharp, cold, and ferocious expression, which was really impressive. Even people who don't know much about his family can easily tell from the gnashing of teeth that the relationship between their siblings is not good, so it would be better to say less.
This is somewhat wishful thinking. On the other hand, Yi Hui'an did not have such strong hostility towards him in any sense. The Yi family could give birth to such a smart son, and his sister is not much stupider... In some aspects, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is smarter than him. Yi Hui'an was born at the age when he first started studying behind closed doors.
At the age of six, he could not intuitively feel any "tremendous" changes, even from the beginning. He was also happy that he had a younger sister. The sense of crisis appeared when Hui'an was one year old. The guests at my father's banquet lined up from the street to the end of the alley, and the raucous gongs and drums lasted for three days and nights. At the lively banquet, everyone was toasting, everyone presented gifts, and everyone sent words of blessing. None of them belong to him.
When he was seven years old, he felt that he suddenly faded away, losing his warmth in the bustling celebration like a person who should not exist. He comforted himself, maybe his full moon, hundred days, and one-year-old wine had also experienced such luxurious battles. In his last hope, he asked his drunken parents such a question, but they tacitly avoided talking about it.
Because of the large age difference, his life is not always full of contrast with his sister. However, when Hui'an reaches a certain age, he will always be mentioned and become an excellent reference, so the younger sister is an existence that is better than excellent. In comparison, the second place will lose its glory, color, and even name. He doesn't seem to be bad, it seems that he has never been bad, but in everyone's eyes, he is called "Hui'an does better than his brother". Among everyone, Zhaochen became "Hui'an's elder brother".
In Hui'an's childhood memories, he did have an outstanding brother. When she reached the age where her brother was undergoing cruel training, her father did not favor the girl more and asked Yi Zhaochen to be her sparring partner. He can be more hard-hearted, and even feel a sense of pleasure in "revenge" by taking advantage of his status and age.
But he soon stopped laughing. Within a few years, he had to admit that Hui An could tie with him when it came to physical fitness alone - he was clearly just a dwarf. He realized that the boasts spoken by his elders were not empty talk. She was also so strong that excessive training during the best period of her growth left many side effects: height and yellow hair color. But Zhaochen knew that no matter how much he ridiculed his appearance, it would not change the fact that he would lose sooner or later. Afterwards, he refused a sparring job on academic grounds. This task fell to Bethlehem, who was living under someone else's roof at the time. Until now, he often felt that this guy was more like her real brother.
To this day, she takes it for granted that she maintains the respect for her brother that she received from her elder-child education, whether it is just superficial or not.
But so what. That's all.
This sense of superiority that Yi Zhaochen was no longer familiar with made him so disgusted.
There is no way.
All this is simply because he is not the one with the "mark".
His hands tightened. Yi Hui'an was still chattering, and he seemed to see unwarranted contempt from the opening and closing of his lips and teeth. They quickly reached the end, and Hui An, who was walking backwards, stopped naturally, as if he could see without looking back. It's a pity that even if Zhaochen kept silent, there was no chance of the intimate contact between the back of her head and the wall.
Yi Hui'an turned around briskly, and the wide hem of his clothes swept past Zhao Chen's hand. She just snapped her fingers, and a gap suddenly appeared in the center of the wall. This is actually a hidden door. The moment the two doors opened outwards, even though he was prepared, Yi Zhaochen still felt an unexpected shock.
"What on earth is this - a place where demons dance wildly?"
"I just said it, right? These are important participants. Today, I will introduce them to you one by one."
With that said, Yi Huian strode towards the hall. The originally dark space lit up with exaggerated lights as she arrived, and the thick soles of her boots made impolite sounds on the smooth stone floor. This kind of behavior also made Zhaochen a little dissatisfied and uneasy.
She raised her hands high and clapped her hands in the air, and the loud sound echoed in the hall.
"Everyone, am I late?"
