Chapter 293 – Big Brother, You Can Pretend So well


“How is it possible that you’re already 19 years old and only in your soph.o.m.ore year of high school?” Guo Ziyi couldn’t help but mutter.


Yang Yi opened the door and turned his head to prepare to drive the car in. When he heard Guo Ziyi’s question, he smiled slightly and said, “My younger sister started school late, and she repeated a year in elementary school, so she is indeed nineteen now.”


“Big brother, have you exposed my shortcomings again?” Yang Huan said with a pout.


Guo Ziyi felt like the sky was falling. He said with annoyance, “I thought a younger sister had come and there would finally be someone younger than me. I didn’t expect that I would still be the youngest!”


“Be good!” Yang Huan turned her head and said to Guo Ziyi with a smile.


Seeing Guo Ziyi being defeated, Ding Xiang and Mo Fei couldn’t help but laugh. Guo Ziyi usually talked the most, and now there was finally someone who could handle him!


Surprisingly, Xixi walked up and held Guo Ziyi’s hand, saying innocently, “Uncle Guo, don’t be sad! I’m the youngest. I am only four years old.”


Now, everyone laughed.


……


At noon, Yang Yi was preparing lunch in the kitchen, while Mo Fei held Yang Huan’s hand and chatted in the living room.


Although Mo Fei wasn’t good at chatting, it was her sister-in-law’s first time visit and she wanted to show a little enthusiasm. But since she wasn’t good at it, as they chatted, Yang Huan, who was familiar with the process, gradually took control of the conversation.


“Sister-in-law, how did you get to know my big brother?” Yang Huan actually had a question hidden in her heart, but she didn’t have the opportunity to ask Yang Yi alone. However, she kept it in her heart and felt uncomfortable. So, she tried to ask indirectly.


Mo Fei pursed her lips and said, “Actually, it started five years ago when Yang Yi was still working as a driver in Beijing.”


Yang Huan remembered this. Her big brother had worked in Beijing for a while after retiring, but later left Beijing for some unknown reason. Yang Huan felt sad about this for a while, as she wanted to go to Beijing with her big brother to play and see the beautiful imperial palace and the Great Wall mentioned in her textbooks!


“Once I was in danger, and he happened to be there and saved me.” Mo Fei didn’t want to go into too much detail.


But Yang Huan nodded contentedly and said with a smile, “So, it was a hero saving the beauty!”


Just as she was about to ask some more questions, and then turn to the biggest question in her heart, Xixi, who was watching TV with the remote control next to her, suddenly seemed to have discovered a new world, and happily turned her head and called out, “Mama, Mama, look, you’re on TV!”


Yang Huan and Mo Fei looked over, and the TV was playing ‘Zhi Xin Interview’, which was a replay of yesterday’s show.


When Yang Huan saw Mo Fei appear on TV, she was a little confused at first, but suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered why the name Mo Fei was so familiar!


“‘Across the Ocean to See You’!” Yang Huan exclaimed, saying, “Sister-in-law, are you the singer of this song?”


Although Yang Huan was from a rural background, she wasn’t living in isolation1, and she was attending high school in the county town. Last month, her cla.s.smates hummed this song almost every day. Some boys even put Mo Fei’s posters on their desks. Yang Huan didn’t pay much attention to the singer’s appearance, but she still remembered the name.


Upon hearing her little aunt’s shouting, Xixi said with some pride, “My Mama sings so well!”


But Mo Fei was not proud, she nodded a little embarra.s.sedly.


The expression on Yang Huan’s face was somewhat strange, with surprise, worry, and some indescribable emotions.


The surprise was self-evident. As for the worry, it was similar to her previous concerns. Mo Fei was originally incredibly beautiful, and now she was a big star. Yang Huan didn’t know if her big brother could handle it…


Although Yang Yi and Mo Fei had a child, were there not still many stars in the entertainment industry who have children, got divorced, or even had affairs?


However, she still couldn’t help but give Yang Yi a thumbs up in her heart: a hero saving the beauty and getting a beautiful big star. Big brother, you can pretend so well!2


On the TV, Luo Xin was asking Mo Fei about “Mu Li’ang”: “Mu Li’ang wrote 12 songs for you, and it is said that almost all of them are masterpieces. He’s such an excellent songwriter, yet he refuses to appear in the media. Can you give a brief evaluation of him?”


In the scene, Mo Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said a little embarra.s.sedly, “I think Mu Li’ang is an incredibly talented man. He probably doesn’t want to show up in the media because he has his own other career, right?”


Mo Fei still revealed some information, but when she praised Yang Yi, she blushed a little out of shyness and felt that she was boasting about herself.


“And after you sang ‘Across the Ocean to See You,’ many of your fans who like you have expressed that Mu Li’ang is the man who understands you the most. What do you think of this statement?” Luo Xin was still stirring things up.


Mo Fei was very straightforward. She had already merged Yang Yi and Mu Li’ang together in her mind, and subconsciously nodded, saying, “Yes.”


“Oh!” The audience present felt as if they had heard something incredible and started to make a commotion.


At this moment, Mo Fei realized that she had said before that Mu Li’ang’s song was not written for her! Now that this has happened, it might cause misunderstandings!


She quickly explained, “What I mean is that Mr. Mu Li’ang understands me very well in music. Although this song was not written for me, it is indeed very suitable for me to sing, so he gave it to me.”


For some reason, now that Mo Fei saw herself on TV, her explanation felt like she was trying to cover up something.


Mo Fei subconsciously glanced at Yang Huan, who was also watching this part of the show, and explained softly to her, ” Mu Li’ang is actually Yang Yi.”


“Huh?” Yang Huan was confused.


Mo Fei then told her about Yang Yi writing songs for her, and also explained that he used this name because he didn’t want to appear in public.


“Wait, my big brother can write songs?” Yang Huan wasn’t interested in the latter part, but the former confused her.


“Yes, he can! And he’s very good at it, writing songs and composing music, and he’s proficient in many instruments.” Mo Fei said this with a look of admiration on her face.


“But I’ve never seen him write songs before,” Yang Huan found it somewhat puzzling.


“That’s because Yang Yi signed a confidentiality agreement when he was in the army before. He couldn’t tell us many things. Now that the confidentiality period is over, he can talk about it,” Mo Fei explained to Yang Huan.


Yang Huan suddenly realized. Although she still found it somewhat hard to believe, the reason was not unacceptable. After all, since Yang Yi joined the army, he didn’t spend much time at home. During his service, he often didn’t return home for several years at a time. After retiring, even if he came home for the Spring Festival, he was always in a hurry.


If it weren’t for Yang Huan’s lively nature and the fact that she had been close to her big brother Yang Yi since childhood, she might have become estranged from him.


“Sister-in-law, I have a question I want to ask you, and I hope you don’t mind,” Yang Huan felt that there were more and more mysteries surrounding her big brother. If she didn’t ask this question now, she might really suffocate.


“Go ahead, I won’t mind,” Mo Fei’s heart trembled, thinking that she might have done something wrong.


Yang Huan pointed to Xixi, who was watching TV intently next to them, and whispered, “Isn’t Xixi already four years old? My big brother never mentioned Xixi when he came home before. Why did he keep it from the family?”


“No matter what the reason is, if you have a child, you should also tell the family! You don’t know how anxious my parents are about my brother’s marriage. They’ve been hoping to have a grandchild as soon as possible. If my big brother goes home alone again during the Spring Festival, I’m afraid my family will arrange a blind date for him, just like they did with my second brother!” Yang Huan complained.
