    Li Yi suddenly thought of a foolish idea. He attempted to evoke memories of his childhood in the young man standing before him, but he was unsure how much of it the boy would still remember.

    "Li Huai, do you find me familiar?" Li Yi stared into Li Huai's eyes. In fact, these two brothers did bear a resemblance of about forty to fifty percent. Li Yi's features were more enchanting and mature, while Li Huai's belonged to a youthful and handsome look. Compared to Li Yi, Li Huai lacked a hint of depth in his features, a depth that came from the vicissitudes of time and the regrets of life. After all, Li Yi was older than Li Huai, and naturally, he possessed secrets in his heart that were no less than his younger brother."

    "Do we know each other?" Li Huai looked at Li Yi cautiously, hoping to find the answer he wanted from him. Looking at him carefully, he didn't seem like a bad person despite being a handsome man.

    "I've known you for a long time. You used to love listening to my stories and sleeping in my arms. We even climbed trees together and searched for bird nests. Our father punished us for that, but I've been searching for you all these years. Do you... still remember? You had a big brother..." Li Yi's memories went back over a decade. At that time, Li Huai was still in the large courtyard of the Li family, seeking shade. Li Huai jumped onto Li Yi, and the two children tumbled around, playfully. Li Huai called out in a childish voice, 'Brother!'"

    "They all said that my older brother had been dead for a long time."

    Li Huai looked into Li Yi's eyes, and after a long silence, he finally spoke these words.

    Li Yi smiled wryly and said, "Your brother here didn't die. I was lucky to survive. The King of the Underworld didn't take me, so... here I am, back again."

    Li Huai approached Li Yi silently and circled around him. Suddenly, he grabbed Li Yi's wrist and then pulled up the sleeve on Li Yi's right hand. Li Yi looked confused, but he didn't resist. Then, Li Huai pulled up the sleeve on his own right arm. Side by side, their arms revealed a symbol of "Li" - a tattoo that their parents had inked on their arms when they were young. Every child in the Li family had this tattoo. Although small, it didn't affect their appearance. However, their fair skin made the vibrant blue tattoo stand out boldly on their skin.

    Li Huai let go of his own sleeve and then fixed his gaze on Li Yi with a sharp and intense look. It seemed like he had many things he wanted to ask and say, but he didn't utter a single word.

    These two brothers stood opposite each other in the alley, with the silly boy standing behind Li Huai, dumbfoundedly gazing at the two beauties in front of him. All that came to his mind was a squeak sound.

    "What's going on? Is this a live broadcast of a dramatic family reunion?"

    At this moment, Li Yi embraced his younger brother in his arms without saying a word. Li Yi felt that Li Huai had truly grown up. Not only was he taller than himself, but he also seemed mature. From his skills, Li Yi could tell that this kid must have been practicing martial arts regularly. His body was strong and sturdy, which could be considered as not bringing shame to the Li family.

    Li Huai stood firmly in place, not uttering a word, but Li Yi knew that Li Huai had silently acknowledged his return.

    Li Yi didn't tell Li Huai where he had been all these years because Li Yi felt that Li Huai was still young. He was just a high school student now, and his main goal was to focus on his studies. As for other matters, he would leave them to his elder brother. Li Yi was the kind of person who liked to carry things on his own. There was nothing he couldn't handle. As the saying goes, "When the boat arrives at the pier-head, it will go straight with the current." As long as he was still alive and the heavens hadn't taken his life, there would always be a fixed outcome.
