“I took turns with my sister to be the girlfriend of the prince of the Beijing circle.”
My sister asked me, “Sis, why is this prince of yours so different from mine? Yours is allergic to gold, but mine isn’t. There are also big differences in hobbies…”
We stared at each other, unanimously thinking that the prince was crazy, and decided to fake our deaths and run away.
Mid – night, I had just climbed out of the coffin.
Then I saw two men who looked very similar, holding shovels and looking at us expressionlessly.
“Brother, who do you think came up with this lousy idea?”
“It should be the younger sister. She asked me last night how to escape if buried alive.”
1
My name is Tang Qing.
Three years ago, my sister Tang Xue and I agreed to be the girlfriend of Fu Jin, the prince of the Beijing circle, together. We would leave after getting 20 million yuan in total.
I would accompany him on odd – numbered days, and Tang Xue on even – numbered days.
In front of Fu Jin, we had a common name: Tang Li.
Fu Jin had good stamina. No matter how intense the night before was, he could still perform well the next night.
After each time,
he would generously give us gifts.
Money, all kinds of jewels, luxury goods, sports cars, and mansions.
In three years, the gifts were never repeated.
Tomorrow is Fu Jin’s birthday.
We decided to go out and choose a gift.
“Let’s buy this! A golden necklace with the meaning of everything goes well!”
Tang Xue couldn’t walk past Chow Tai Fook every time. She really liked collecting all kinds of gold necklaces.
I grabbed her:
“Calm down. Have you forgotten that Fu Jin is allergic to gold? He said last time that if he saw me wearing gold to meet him again, he would throw me into the swimming pool to sleep with the duck – shaped swimming ring.”
Tang Xue blinked blankly:
“Ah?
“Last time I even put a gold bracelet on his… there.
“He was still very excited and said, ‘Sister, you really know how to play’.”
I was completely shocked.
What was going on?
2
To be cautious, Tang Xue reluctantly put down the gold and went with me to choose other gifts.
When passing by the Rolex counter, I grabbed Tang Xue:
“Sis, do you remember which style of watch Fu Jin often wears? How about we buy a similar one for him?”
Tang Xue frowned:
“Does he wear a watch? I didn’t notice.”
I stomped my feet in a hurry:
“Sis, think again! He has OCD. He will take off his watch before taking a bath and put it neatly in the watch box.”
Tang Xue let out a long “oh”:
“I remember!
“He has a watch, a Casio electronic watch.”
I swallowed nervously:
“Are you serious, sis… Fu Jin has mentioned to me more than once that wearing an electronic watch makes him look childish and gives off a student – like air.”
Tang Xue was silent for a long time.
Next, we successively selected other gifts.
Without exception, we found that the Fu Jin in our eyes was very different.
For example, my Fu Jin, like me, doesn’t eat coriander or Chinese prickly ash.
Her Fu Jin eats everything. He can even have hot pot with coriander with her.
3
At first, I thought Fu Jin might like Tang Xue more, so he would be more accommodating when getting along with her.
But this idea was quickly refuted.
We talked about Fu Jin’s habits during intimacy.
As soon as Tang Xue heard me describe Fu Jin, she jumped up from the sofa in surprise:
“Sis, my Fu Jin is different from what you said?
“He said he doesn’t like the orz position and asks me to wear a red dress on top every day.”
I covered my head: “Impossible. He doesn’t like red, and the orz position is the most common one for him.”
Tang Xue hugged the sofa pillow and shivered:
“Sis, have we met a person with split personality…?”
I was silent for a while and then asked an extremely important question:
“Mine often asks me to call him Daddy. Sis, what about yours?”
Tang Xue blushed:
“Mine often calls me Mommy…”
Okay, okay.
Now we stared at each other, sweating profusely.
Tang Xue started packing her luggage:
“Qing, this won’t work. We should pack up and run away quickly. If he finds out the truth one day, he might kill us.”
I thought for a while:
“No way!! With his ability, even if we escape to the other hemisphere, he can still find us.”
Tang Xue: “Then what should we do?”
I slapped the table and stood up:
“Let’s learn from the female protagonist in the novel and fake our deaths to escape!”
4
Tang Xue and I discussed.
Just at Fu Jin’s birthday party tomorrow, stage a fake accidental death.
Losing his girlfriend at the birthday party, such psychological trauma would make him emo for several years.
The plan was:
I, who didn’t have a driver’s license, prepared the fake – death medicine and went to accompany Fu Jin for his birthday.
Tang Xue, who had a driver’s license, prepared the RV needed for running away after the fake death and the shovel to dig me out of the coffin.
Before leaving, I turned back and asked Tang Xue again:
“Sis, can I trust you?”
Tang Xue patted her chest confidently:
“Sure, baby. You’re my only sister. If you don’t trust me, do you trust Fu Jin?”
…
Although, I was still a little worried.
What if Tang Xue didn’t dig me out, or remembered the wrong time, or the shovel broke? Then I would be doomed!
This question lingered in my mind.
So much so that when I was with Fu Jin, I couldn’t concentrate.
He ended it earlier than usual and hugged me in his arms to comfort me: “Do you have something on your mind today?”
My heart skipped a beat. Just as I was about to make an excuse, Fu Jin picked up his phone screen and pointed it at me:
“Your face can’t hide anything.
“You don’t need to be interrogated when you do something wrong. Your expression gives it away.”
I:…
5
Fu Jin got up and poured himself a glass of water.
He gave me the first sip:
“Tell me, what are you worried about?”
I took a small sip and quickly made up an excuse:
“Just now I watched a horror movie. I didn’t finish it, and I saw the female protagonist being buried alive.
“I’m very worried about the female protagonist…
“How to escape if being buried alive.”
After listening, Fu Jin’s expression was indifferent. He didn’t seem to notice that this was a lie.
Instead, he gave me a science lecture.
If really being buried alive, don’t struggle desperately, otherwise the oxygen will be consumed quickly.
After that, he turned off the bedside lamp, put his arm around my waist:
“Don’t worry. You said she’s the female protagonist. Most likely, she won’t die.
“Okay, go to sleep.”
In the dark, I opened my eyes and silently recited in my heart.
I’m the female protagonist.
I’m the chosen one.
I will definitely escape successfully tomorrow.
Sis, don’t screw me over.
“Tang Li, what are you mumbling about?”
Fu Jin turned on the light again.
He coldly tugged at the corner of his mouth:
“You seem to be inexplicably excited. You’re not allowed to watch horror movies anymore.
“By the way, tomorrow is my birthday. You haven’t forgotten, have you?”
I opened my eyes wide and pretended to be cute:
“Of course not～”
Fu Jin stretched out his hand:
“Then where’s my gift?”
“The gift will be given to you tomorrow～”
“What is it?”
“It’s a surprise～”
He snorted:
“Really?
“Then I’ll wait and see.”
6
Fu Jin’s birthday party was held in his manor.
Business tycoons and celebrities gathered together.
Until the second before the opening.
I found out that this party was a masquerade ball.
Everyone was wearing a mask.
I drank the Sprite prepared by Fu Jin, pretending it was sparkling wine, and was chatting with people politely everywhere.
Fu Jin knew I couldn’t drink.
Every time at important occasions, he would use drinks instead.
Halfway through the chat.
Someone poked my waist.
I was about to shout “pervert”.
The person took off the mask, revealing a face 90% similar to mine.
“Sis?”
I covered my mouth in surprise.
“Why are you here?”
Tang Xue smiled confidently:
“Of course, everything is arranged. Just waiting for you.
“I was worried about you, so I came to accompany you.”
I nodded, took out the fake – death medicine and drank it with the Sprite.
This medicine would take effect in thirty minutes.
It would make people lose their breath and vital signs for 24 hours and show symptoms similar to poisoning.
It would recover automatically after 24 hours.
I had to find an opportunity to stage the death quickly.
After thinking for a while.
I decided to pretend to drink the poisoned juice for Fu Jin and then ‘die’.
7
I hid in the dark and observed for a long time.
Finally, I waited until Fu Jin picked up a glass of juice.
I walked over quickly and sweetly hooked his neck:
“Honey～ I want to taste yours.”
Before Fu Jin could refuse.
I directly took a big gulp.
After that, I violently spat out a mouthful of black blood.
At this moment, I panicked.
Damn.
Could this juice really be poisoned? The fake – death medicine didn’t say there would be vomiting of blood?
“Tang Qing!”
In a hurry.
Fu Jin threw everything aside and rushed over in a panic to hold me who was about to faint.
I felt something was wrong.
My vision in front of me began to blur.
I saw the crowd start to flee.
A shiny diamond ring fell out of Fu Jin’s suit pocket.
Tang Xue seemed to want to come over to see me, but was taken away by a black figure.
What was wrong…
I tried my best to think, but couldn’t resist the overwhelming sleepiness. My eyes went black and I fell asleep.
8
When I regained consciousness, it was pitch – black all around.
I tried to stretch my limbs.
Found that this was a rectangular wooden box just big enough to lie in.
Without accident, I should be in the coffin.
Okay.
Next, I should wait for Tang Xue to save me.
My heart was very nervous.
But thinking of what Fu Jin said, I tried my best to calm myself down.
After calming down, I found that there was a net – shaped breathing valve in the upper left corner of the coffin.
It seemed that there was a hole next to the coffin, and a little thin oxygen could flow in.
Wuwuwu, my good sister.
This coffin must have cost a lot of money.
After waiting for I don’t know how long.
There was a rustling sound above my head, the sound of a shovel turning the soil.
Creak——
The coffin opened.
It was actually night, and it was raining.
I was drenched.
Thinking that.
I could enjoy a free life soon, I couldn’t help but shout excitedly:
“Hahaha!! We’re free, sis!”
There was no enthusiastic embrace from Tang Xue as expected.
I looked up.
Saw two men who looked very similar above the mud pit.
Each of them was holding a shovel, looking at us expressionlessly.
The one on the left suddenly showed a gloating smile:
“This stupid and innocent look. It must be the younger sister, right?”
The one on the right still had a gloomy face:
“Yes.”
The one on the left said again:
“Brother, who do you think came up with this lousy idea?”
The one on the right picked me up from the pit and threw me on the grass as if venting his anger:
“It should be the younger sister. She asked me last night how to escape if being buried alive.”
I started to tremble in fear.
Why are there two Fu Jins?
“Tang Qing!” Someone shouted my name.
I looked over and found that in the back seat of the convertible, there was a Tang Xue who was tied up and wearing a grandma’s wig.
She waved anxiously:
“Run, we’ve been cheated! They’re actually brothers. The older one is called Fu Jin, and the younger one is called Fu Zexing.
“If they catch us, we’re doomed!”
9
Before Fu Jin got angry.
Fu Zexing stepped in front of Tang Xue first:
“Brother, deal with your family affairs. I’ll deal with mine.”
Fu Jin didn’t refute. He turned back to look at me.
He leaned on the shovel with one hand, bent down, and brought his face closer to mine.
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, showing a very dangerous look:
“Tang Qing, do you have anything to say to me?”
I licked my lips nervously:
“Long time no see. I kind of miss you.”
Fu Jin shook the shovel. “Baby, if you don’t want to be buried back, think carefully before you speak.”
I anxiously looked behind him, trying to ask Tang Xue and Fu Zexing for help with my eyes. The younger brother seemed much more talkative than the older one! One look, and I completely gave up hope. Because she was passionately kissing Fu Zexing through the car door, oblivious to everything around.
I took small steps to Fu Jin, tried to open my eyes wide, and forced a “sincere” smile. “Baby, you and your brother also lied to me and my sister. We’re even, right?”
Fu Jin touched my face. But just as I was about to relax, he viciously grabbed my neck. I was so scared that I trembled like a baby chick.
“Hmph.” He let go of his hand, then picked up my legs and directly carried me on his back. “Now you know what it feels like to be scared? I felt the same way when you spat out blood.”
Never being scared like this by Fu Jin before, I burst into tears. “You heartless man. You don’t really love me!”
He angrily slapped my butt and gritted his teeth. “Open your eyes that only read online novels and take a good look. This coffin was prepared by me. I even left a hole for you, afraid you’d suffocate. Don’t you think I love you a little too much?”
10
After returning home, Tang Xue and I were thrown into the same room. Tang Xue rubbed her swollen lips from kissing and whispered to me, “Do we have a plan B?”
I wanted to cry but had no tears. “No.”
Just as we were about to continue whispering about the two brothers, we heard Fu Jin’s furious voice coming from outside the door. “Do you know they kept an electronic diary? They record how much money they’ve made every day and how many days are left until they earn 20 million. The most hateful thing is that Tang Qing gave me a nickname, calling me what, a free duck?”
Fu Zexing was eating sunflower seeds and reacted more calmly than his brother. “Brother, let it go. I knew the chat records between sisters and girlfriends can’t be seen. Tang Xue even tried her best to delete the chat records before she lost consciousness.”
Tang Xue slapped my shoulder in frustration. “Qingqing, did you forget our vow? No matter what happens, we should delete our chat records first. ‘Everyone must die someday; let me leave a loyal heart shining in the pages of history!'”
I held my head and admitted my mistake. “I’m wrong, sister. I’m useless. I failed to keep our innocence!”
The voices of the two brothers at the door suddenly stopped. I felt it was the calm before the storm. Sure enough, the next second, the door opened. Fu Jin, with a pale as a ghost face, showed us an Excel form on a tablet. “You two sisters really know how to play. You even used a statistical table to count the time and number of times, and finally concluded that the Fu Jin Tang Qing accompanied is not as good as the one Tang Xue accompanied? That is, criticizing me for being inferior to Fu Zexing?”
Fu Zexing burst out laughing. “Who made this table? I approve.”
Fu Jin said, “Get out.”
11
Finally, the four of us sat at the same negotiation table. Fu Zexing directly filled out a 20 – million – yuan check and placed it in the middle of the table. “We’re sorry for hiding the fact that we’re twins. This is our apology.”
Tang Xue’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Fu Zexing. I elbowed her, and she coughed dryly, immediately returning to her cold expression.
Fu Zexing pretended to be relaxed and shrugged. “As for why we hid this, simply put – my father doesn’t know I’m still alive. Don’t ask me why I don’t tell him, because he doesn’t want me to live.”
Tang Xue was stunned. She quietly reached out and held Fu Zexing’s hand under the table. Their fingers intertwined, and Fu Zexing’s face visibly improved.
Fu Jin noticed their little gesture following my gaze. He secretly hooked my leg with the tip of his shoe, yet still had a cold expression on his face.
I weakly asked, “So, are we even now, and can we let bygones be bygones?”
Fu Jin slightly nodded, indicating his approval.
I pressed on. “Then can my sister and I leave?”
I could tell that Fu Jin really wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this. But his good upbringing made him hold back. He put on an extremely fake smile. “Baby, do you know what we originally planned to do at this birthday party?”
I shrank my neck nervously.
Fu Zexing directly took out a pigeon – egg – sized diamond ring and put it on Tang Xue’s finger. “Of course, it was to confess our identities and propose. We can’t play hide – and – seek forever, can we?”
Fu Zexing tried to PUA me. “As a result, the plan failed, and you scared my brother out of his wits.”
Halfway through, he started to mock Fu Jin again. “Hey, you don’t know. My brother’s face turned pale at that time.”
Fu Jin gave him a cold glare. Then he turned to hold the ring that had fallen out of his pocket at the birthday party in his palm. “Tang Qing, I’m seriously asking you. Will you marry me?”
12
The atmosphere was actually very good. But whenever someone asked me to make a choice and my sister was beside me, I would say, “Sister, do you agree? If you agree, I will.”
Tang Xue said, “Do you want to get married? If you want to, I will.”
Then it became:
“I’ll follow your lead.”
“I’ll follow your lead!”
“I’ll listen to you.”
“I’ll listen to you!”
Seeing us pushing back and forth like this, Fu Zexing shook his head and sighed, holding his forehead.
Fu Jin took several deep breaths to calm down, then carried me up again. “Stop this Russian – doll – like behavior. Listen to me. We’ll get married on the 25th of the next month. Your sister will marry Fu Zexing, and you’ll marry me. Now it’s Monday, and you should make it up to me.”
Hearing this, Tang Xue immediately tried to slip away, but was caught by Fu Zexing, who reacted very quickly. “Where are you going? There are 10 minutes until Tuesday. I’ll take you to take a bath. It’s just in time.”
Not long after, Tang Xue and I found out that Fu Zexing seemed to have a non-marital child.
13
One day, I went out to buy a cake for Tang Xue. When taking the escalator in the mall and casually glancing at the fourth – floor baby store from the third floor, I saw a man who looked like Fu Zexing choosing clothes in the children’s clothing store. I took out my phone and wanted to take a picture of him. Just as I focused the camera, another man came into view. It was – Fu Jin.
I felt as if the sky was falling. I didn’t have the mood to buy milk tea anymore and took a taxi straight home. I told Tang Xue exactly what I saw and heard. She held me back, who was in a hurry. “Wait a minute. Let’s post on Xiaohongshu and ask netizens.”
The post we just sent went viral in ten minutes. Netizens said:
【You know, we netizens always advise breaking up rather than getting back together. I can make up stories. Let me tell you. The sisters’ boyfriends should be gay and want to adopt a child.】
【Don’t scare the sisters, upstairs. Maybe the two brothers just want to be fathers. There are good men in the world. Don’t generalize.】
【I guess the next plot will be: Your boyfriends will bring that child home and lie that the child is an orphan or a friend’s child, and ask you to take care of it. After a while, a pitiful woman will come to the house, claiming to be the child’s mother and your boyfriends’ white moonlight.】
The more we read the comments, the colder our hearts became. Now Tang Xue was completely disheartened. “Baby, should we run away again? I don’t want to be a step – mother. I don’t believe in men anymore.”
I suddenly stood up and passionately expressed my opinion. But unexpectedly, a hot stream gushed out from my lower body. “Sister, wait a minute. I need to go to the bathroom first.”
14
The successive abdominal pain made me listless. I curled up weakly on the sofa, and Tang Xue was rubbing my belly. “You’re not so angry that you brought your period, are you? Can’t you be as regular as me?”
I half – opened my eyes and looked at her. “Are you really that regular? But I remember the last time you asked me for a sanitary napkin was a long time ago.”
Tang Xue thought for a while, then stood up and shouted, “Seems so…!”
Without hesitation, we put on our slippers and went downstairs to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test stick. On the test strip, two red bars were clear and prominent. She looked like a withered tree, and I was completely disheartened.
After discussing for a while, we decided to let Tang Xue tell Fu Zexing the news first. Tang Xue immediately went to the company to find Fu Zexing. But when she came back, she was crying. She rushed into my arms as soon as she entered the door and cried bitterly. “They really have something going on behind our backs! Guess what I saw and heard! I heard a little boy holding Fu Zexing’s hand and calling him dad!”
I was so angry that I directly sent a message to question Fu Jin: 【I heard Fu Zexing has a bastard son?】
He replied instantly: 【Impossible. If I have a child, he can’t have one.】
At this moment, I felt my nose was very hot, as if a red ball had grown on it.
15
We took clothes hangers and hid behind the door, waiting to ambush Fu Zexing and Fu Jin, who were about to come home from work. Finally, the two brothers came back. We made interrogating gestures and jumped out from behind the door like two demons, scaring them. Fu Zexing jumped back in fright. “What are you doing?”
Just as we were about to list the crimes of the two brothers, we found a small figure beside Fu Jin. The little boy noticed our gaze and smiled sweetly. “Hello, two sisters.”
My brain buzzed. This was exactly the plot predicted by netizens on Xiaohongshu. Tang Xue was so angry that her eyes turned red. She turned around and skillfully took out a whip from a seldom – used cabinet and whipped it at Fu Zexing. “I’ll beat you, you heartless man!”
Fu Jin twitched the corner of his mouth. “No, what are you two sisters acting out today? This child, his name is Kangkang. He’s a friend’s son. He’s going to have an operation soon. We contacted the doctor through our connections. For the convenience of communication, we were asked to take care of him for a few days.”
Fine, fine. Even the reason was the same as what netizens predicted. Tang Xue whipped Fu Zexing even more vigorously.
Fu Zexing grimaced. “Wait a minute, baby. Stop whipping first. We have evidence to prove our innocence!”
Fu Jin couldn’t bear to watch and took out a DNA test report from his briefcase. “We guessed that bringing Kangkang back would make you uneasy, so we did a paternity test long ago.”
I took it and confirmed. The report was real. And the fact was just as Fu Jin said.
16
Tang Xue’s anger immediately subsided. Fu Zexing got a chance to catch his breath and then took the initiative, picking up Tang Xue horizontally. “Sister, your hand must be tired from whipping me for so long. Don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you. If your hand can’t move later, I’ll use my mouth to help.”
The two of them rushed upstairs to the bedroom in a hurry. I poked Fu Jin’s waist, a little worried. “Fu Zexing won’t take revenge, will he…?”
Fu Jin grabbed my arm and led me to the bathroom. “You have time to worry about others. You’d better worry about yourself first. Hold on with your hands. I’ll support your waist.”
Two hours later, the two men went out to attend a dinner party refreshed. Only Tang Xue and I were left, holding our waists and admiring their ‘abilities’. We couldn’t cook dinner at all. The nanny aunt had gone home. Kangkang hadn’t eaten yet. We decisively chose to order takeout. Dozens of takeout riders swarmed in, and dozens of different kinds of food were placed on the dining table. We amiably invited Kangkang to sit down in the restaurant. “Kangkang, see what you like to eat. If it’s not enough, tell sisters, and we’ll buy more!”
Unexpectedly, Kangkang seemed to change into a different person. He put away his originally kind and innocent look, and looked at us with disdain. “Do you know who I am? You want me to eat this junk food?” He knocked over the Coke that Tang Xue handed him with his elbow. “My dad is Fu Zexing. They’re lying to you. You old woman, don’t try to take my place!”
17
Kangkang might have thought that my sister and I would cry and leave the house. But little did he know that we liked to bully children the most. Tang Xue carrying Kangkang under her arm and slapped his butt with a slipper. At first, Kangkang was still stubborn and wanted to bite Tang Xue. “Bad woman! I’ll bite you! When dad comes back, I’ll make you pay!”
Hearing this, I immediately went to find one of Fu Jin’s ties, tied Kangkang’s hands and feet, then took off his shoes and tickled his soles with the peacock feathers in the vase. He laughed and cried at the same time. After holding on for a while, he gave up. “I was wrong, sister. Don’t tickle me anymore.”
I sneered. “Apologize to my sister.”
He cried with a sad face and finally softened his tone to Tang Xue. “Sister, I’m sorry. Kangkang knows he was wrong. Kangkang shouldn’t have talked back to you. Kangkang won’t do it again. Wuwuwu, please let Kangkang go.”
Only then did we mercifully stop. The brat who had been taught a lesson became obedient immediately. He ate his meal obediently, not even daring to make a sound when chewing. After dinner, he even obsequiously wanted to massage our legs. Tang Xue whispered in my ear, “I feel he has a lot of bad ideas. Don’t agree. Just let him go play.”
I nodded and refused Kangkang’s “kindness”.
… The clock’s hour hand pointed to 2 am. Fu Jin and Fu Zexing came back, each holding a Chanel gift bag. Kangkang, who should have been asleep, rushed out of the guest room. He hugged Fu Zexing’s leg and started crying. “Dad, those two bad sisters hit me. As soon as you left, they hit me. They said Kangkang was here to compete for your favor. Kangkang didn’t… ” He looked at the two Chanel shopping bags and shook his head sadly. “Kangkang doesn’t want gifts. As long as Kangkang can stay by dad’s side, it’s enough.”
Tang Xue put her hands on her hips. “Fu Zexing, if you believe his nonsense, I and Tang Qing will leave immediately!”
I immediately echoed, “Did you hear that, Fu Jin! If my sister leaves, I’ll leave right away!”
“Hahaha.” Fu Jin let out several sneers. He didn’t say anything, just picked up his phone and dialed a number. “Get your dean to pick up Kangkang within twenty minutes. If he doesn’t leave, my brother and sister – in – law will break up.”
Before, the way Fu Zexing looked at Kangkang was full of kindness, pity, and love. But now, there was only frost in his eyes. He pushed Kangkang’s hands away and stepped back in disgust. “I misjudged. Not all orphans are worthy of pity. And I’ve said it many times. I’m not your dad. You can call me brother or uncle. Why do you have to call me dad and deliberately cause misunderstandings with my wife?”
18
Kangkang didn’t expect that Fu Zexing wouldn’t believe him. He bent his legs and knelt on the ground, kowtowing. “Dad… No, Uncle Fu, don’t be angry. Don’t abandon Kangkang. Kangkang just forgot…”
Fu Zexing didn’t believe him at all. “Don’t use the excuse of forgetting to prevaricate me. I corrected you many times before bringing you home.”
Kangkang blushed, trying to argue. “But they really hit me. Kids don’t lie!”
Fu Jin asked, “Did they hit you because they were jealous of you?”
Kangkang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Fu Jin smiled, raised his chin, and used his eyes to signal Kangkang to look at the surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling, which was flashing red light from time to time. “Guess if it believes you?”
…
Kangkang was taken away by the staff of Little Sunflower Orphanage. We sat on the grass in the courtyard, chatting knee to knee in the moonlight, talking about Fu Zexing’s past.
Fu Zexing never drank alcohol, but today he rarely opened a can of beer. He sat next to Tang Xue, listening silently to Fu Jin.
“Our mother died in childbirth when giving birth to Fu Zexing. Our father, sad and incompetent, attributed all the blame to Fu Zexing. He complained, ‘Why was it so smooth when giving birth to Fu Jin, but you took so long to be born? You’re a disaster star. Get out of the Fu family!’ “
“He tried to get rid of Fu Zexing many times, but failed. Eventually, he even threatened to commit suicide.”
“Fu Zexing didn’t want to see our father die, so he left home voluntarily and was taken in by the Little Sunflower Orphanage. Since then, everyone thought our parents only had one child, me.”
“I once fantasized that our father might regret it one day, but until the day he died, he was still muttering that he didn’t want to see me,” Fu Zexing took over the conversation and said slowly.
“I naively thought that all parents in the world loved their children, but in reality, he was so stingy that he didn’t even want to give me a little bit of love.”
“Later, I finished my studies alone. After graduating from university, I started traveling around the world to relax. Every time I returned to the country, the place I stayed the most was the Little Sunflower Orphanage.”
“Every time I saw a sick child who couldn’t afford medical treatment due to lack of funds, I couldn’t help but lend a hand. I know what it’s like to wait for hope in despair, so I want to do my best to help them survive.”
“I’ve helped many children, but I misjudged this one.”
Tang Xue and I have always had a low tear – point and strong empathy. Before Fu Zexing himself started crying, the two of us hugged each other and cried.
“Sister, he’s really pitiful.”
“Yes, sister. Let’s cry. I won’t be willing to whip him in the future.”
Fu Jin pulled Tang Xue and me apart. There was a hint of jealousy on his face for some reason.
“What about me? I gave all my money to Fu Zexing. I didn’t leave our city until I was 25 years old, while he had traveled half of the earth by 25. Don’t you feel sorry for me?”
Fu Zexing suddenly said, “So, who do you think is more pitiful, my brother or me?”
This question seemed to trigger something. Tang Xue and I started again:
“I think it’s my husband.”
“No, no. Obviously, my husband is more pitiful.”
“You’re talking nonsense. My husband is more like an orphan.”
“Your husband is more like an orphan than mine?”
“My husband has to pillow on my arm and be hugged by me to fall asleep. Isn’t this more like an orphan?”
Someone roared, “Stop exposing my weaknesses in front of me!”
19
The wedding arrived as scheduled. When I held Fu Jin’s hand, I could clearly feel that he was a little nervous, and the strength of his grip on my hand unconsciously increased.
I teased him, “You’re holding so tightly. Afraid I’ll run away?”
“Yeah.”
Fu Jin rarely didn’t bicker with me and replied softly.
When the priest said the groom could kiss the bride, Tang Xue and Fu Zexing kissed directly.
But Fu Jin didn’t move. Instead, he stared straight at my lips, lost in thought.
I anxiously tugged at his sleeve. “What are you doing? If you don’t want to get married, I’ll leave.”
Only then did he hold my face, looking at me carefully.
“I’m thinking, are you going to hide poison in your mouth this time and fake your death right in front of me again? I’m scared.”
I blushed.
“Of course not! Don’t mention that again! Hurry up and kiss me!”
Only then did Fu Jin raise the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
“Kiss, kiss. After kissing here, we’ll continue in another place later.”
The white doves in the church kissed the roses. We embraced in love.
The main story ends.

Extra Story – From Tang Xue’s Perspective
1
The moment I saw my sister spitting out blood, my heart almost jumped out. No way, could it be that we bought fake medicine?
I rushed forward to check on my sister, but my elbow was firmly clamped by a huge force.
A man wearing a white mask with five blue – purple feathers obliquely inserted on it imprisoned me tightly in his arms.
“Don’t make trouble.”
“Who the hell are you!”
I was so angry that I bit him.
He kissed my ear, and his voice was extremely aggrieved.
“You can’t even recognize your own puppy. Sister, you’re really not a good master.”
The man took off his mask, revealing a face full of aggression.
My sixth sense told me that the man in front of me was the “Fu Jin” I had been accompanying.
“Remember, sister. My name is Fu Zexing.”

Fu Zexing picked me up horizontally, walked against the crowd, and took me back to the room.
He tore at my clothes, and his restless hands wandered around.
“Disobedient puppies will be punished. Shouldn’t the master who认错 her puppy suffer a little?”
Suddenly, I thought of something and urgently stopped him.
“Wait a minute. I have something important to do. Please, I’ve never begged anyone in my life. This is the only time I’m begging you.”
…
Under Fu Zexing’s shocked gaze, I picked up my phone and quickly deleted the chat records with Tang Qing.
Good. Now I can rest in peace.
…
It turned out that the chandelier above our heads could shake so violently. The previous Fu Zexing was really restrained.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I tightly grabbed Fu Zexing’s hair with my five fingers and weakly slapped him.
As a result, he got even more excited, shouting, “It doesn’t hurt enough. Hit me again.”

Afterwards, I hurried to attend Tang Qing’s funeral.
This funeral was very low – key. There was only a doctor in a white coat and a priest.
From a distance, I heard Fu Jin say he wanted to conduct an autopsy.
No way!!
I rushed over in a hurry, limping, and stood in front of Tang Qing’s coffin.
“I’m Tang Li’s grandma! You can’t dissect my granddaughter!”
Fu Jin slightly narrowed his eyes.
“How come I didn’t know my girlfriend had a grandma?”
I raised my walking stick and hit his calf.
“Nonsense. You’ve never asked Tang Li, so how would you know?”
“Oh, really?” Fu Jin stroked his chin, lost in thought.
“But you don’t even know your granddaughter’s name is Tang Qing?”
Fu Jin didn’t give me a chance to continue acting. He directly took off my wig.
“Wake up, sister of the deceased. Your acting skills are even worse than hers.”
“If you delay for a while longer, the oxygen in the coffin will be used up.”
Fu Zexing shrugged, took out a tie from his pocket, and tied my hands.
“Be good. Get in the car and wait for us. Don’t worry. We’ll dig your sister out intact soon.”

Happiness came suddenly. It suddenly came to the point of getting married. I felt a bit dizzy.
But Tang Xue and I quickly adapted to the change of identity and went back to whispering about our husbands’ daily lives.
Tang Qing swiped to a post with the title: [Whose Husband is the Most Idiotic].
I glanced at the comment section and said confidently, “No one’s husband is as idiotic as mine. He’s so bad at directions that he can get lost even when going to the vegetable market 500 meters away from home.”
Tang Qing refused to be outdone. “Impossible. My husband is the most idiotic. He often asks his employees to get off work at 4 o’clock, but he himself works overtime until the early morning.”
The two of us started arguing again.
“Your husband is really not as idiotic as mine. Mine is more idiotic.”
“Nonsense. My husband is the most idiotic.”
While we were arguing, Fu Zexing and Fu Jin somehow appeared behind the sofa with gloomy faces.
“Who are you two calling idiotic? I’ve seen people comparing who has a richer boyfriend, but I’ve never seen people comparing who has a more idiotic boyfriend.”
Fu Jin asked Tang Qing with a smile, “So, have you figured out who is more idiotic between me and Fu Zexing?”
Tang Qing tensed up, and the hand hidden behind me frantically pinched my flesh.

Life after marriage was even calmer than expected. Fu Jin and Fu Zexing learned their lessons.
Every time they saw Tang Xue and me whispering about them, they would choose to take a detour.
Fu Zexing said, “It doesn’t matter. You can whisper all you want. My brother and I can selectively pretend to be deaf.”
Fu Jin updated a signature:
[In the purest days of love, I could turn a blind eye even when you scolded me openly.]
Fu Zexing said, “Brother is in love again.”

One day, Fu Jin bought an evil polar fleece for Tang Qing. I was so jealous when I saw it that I shouted for Fu Zexing to buy one for me too. Fu Zexing immediately bought one for me.
But since then, he has been worried every day.
Fu Jin asked him what was wrong, but he didn’t say. Tang Qing asked him, and he still didn’t say.
I wanted to play dumb, but I really couldn’t stand his crazy eye – signals for me to ask him.
“So, what’s wrong with you?”
He lay in my arms, pitifully imitating a puppy. “You’ve been taming the evil polar fleece these days and haven’t tamed me for a long time.”
Under the inquiring gazes of Tang Qing and Fu Jin, I quickly covered Fu Zexing’s mouth.
“Don’t talk nonsense! People will misunderstand!”
Tang Qing waved her hand. “It’s okay, sister. I get it immediately. We share the same dirty mind.”
Fu Jin said, “I also understand. He just has this preference.”
