Chapter 10: Family

where the members would appear on stage. By the time he reached them, the screens outside had already started playing EXO's VCR.Their VCR was just an introduction to EXO's second planet and their spe..."Oh Mo, wuli Jingyuan is back, Xianzhu, quickly prepare dinner. Jingyuan, you must have been very hard working today." 。As soon as Chi Jingyuan stepped into the room, a voice immediately came over. 。The speaker was a woman around thirty years old, wearing a black suit jacket over a white shirt. Every piece of clothing looked like it wasn't from an ordinary brand, the standard attire of an elite woman. Before Qi Jingyuan came in, she sat there looking at some document, her whole person radiating a powerful aura. 。But the woman used a completely different tone in this short sentence. When speaking to Ji Jingyuan, her words were all filled with kindness and pampering. When addressing the maid named Xianzhu, she immediately reverted to a stern and urging tone. Finally, she turned to Ji Jingyuan with a concerned expression. 。This is Chi Jingyuan's elder sister, Chi Xianjing. 。

The elder sister is exactly thirty years old this year, according to the Peninsula algorithm, she should be thirty-one. She is twelve years older than Ji Jingyuan. The two siblings are not in the same age group at all. The elder sister started working with her father very early and now manages a considerable portion of the business.

Senior sister, Ji Xianjing, was rigorously self-disciplined from a young age due to her parents' expectations. Living up to their hopes, she became an elite among elites in the Peninsula's female workforce.

But her personality has always been very serious, meticulous in everything she does, both in life and work. Even to her second older brother, she would scold him without hesitation, rarely showing any mercy. The only exception is for this younger brother, who is twelve years younger than her, whom she dotes on dearly. Every time she faces her younger brother, Ji Hyun-jeong is like a different person. 。

Recently, Ji Xianjing has become much busier in recent years, and she hasn't spent as much time with her family. Today, looking at her appearance, it is obvious that she came home specifically to wait for Ji Jingyuan.

"Nuan Na, aren't you busy with work today"

From the moment Qi Jingyuan stepped through the door, the smile he had maintained at the company disappeared. The playful twinkle in his eyes also vanished. His eyes were delicate phoenix eyes, not too big or small, and his expression now was far less expressive than it was outside.

“I had a meeting this afternoon that I pushed to tomorrow. You’re moving into the company dorms tomorrow, so of course I have to come back tonight and eat dinner with my brother.” 。"Chi-hyeon said what was proper: “After we finish eating, I have to go back to the company. Your gifts, I’ve already packed them up for you. Just let Park Jae-hyun take them over tomorrow.” 。“As she said this, Ji Xianjing walked over to Ji Jingyuan’s side, helping him take off his athletic sweatshirt. She patted his head and said, “Go take a shower quickly, then we’ll eat dinner together.” 。After finishing, Chi Xianjing shouted towards the second floor: "Chi Jingxu, Jingyuan is back, come down to eat!" Her tone was cold and distant, far from the warmth she had when speaking to Chi Jingyuan. 。"Ah~La~So~" With a deliberately drawn-out voice, a figure swayed down the stairs from the second floor. It was Pool Jingxu, the second brother of Pool Jingyuan. 。Our big star is back 。“Erge walked down with a relaxed and slouching gait, giving Chi Jingyuan a series of winks and eyebrow wiggles.” 。"..." Chi Jingyuan shook his head speechless, didn't say a word of greeting, and turned directly towards the bathroom. 。He and his elder sister had a big age gap, and because she doted on him so much, it felt like having an older sister as a mother. His second brother, despite being only two years younger than his elder sister and not in the same age group, particularly liked to tease him. From the time Pool Jingyuan could remember, his second brother had played the role of a hateful, mischievous antagonist. 。The second brother didn't care about Er Jingyuan's reaction at all. Instead, he smiled and watched his back leave his sight, then nudged the elder sister with his chin. 。

Chi Xianjing let out a soft chuckle, shook her head helplessly, and got up to check on the progress of the meal preparation.

After a long while, after taking a bath and feeling refreshed, Chi Jingyuan sat at the dinner table. He greeted everyone before starting to eat ravenously. He had practiced with Shen Ziyuan, the dance teacher arranged by the company, for an entire afternoon. Even though he had a good foundation and often exercised, he felt very tired. 。

Second brother, Chi Jingxu, didn't seem hungry at all. His attention wasn't on the food but on Chi Jingyuan's chopsticks. Whatever dish Chi Jingyuan wanted to pick up, he would reach out with his own chopsticks to disrupt him, regardless of whether he succeeded or not. It was as if he wanted to be involved in every bite Chi Jingyuan took.

Chi Jingyuan, famished, was too lazy to argue with this older brother. He just sped up his movements grabbing dishes, trying to prevent the other from getting what he wanted. 。

While the elder sister ate a few bites casually, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said as she put on her clothes, "Alright, I'm going to the company. Wuli Jingyuan, eat slowly. The other things are already prepared, the rest is for your second brother to tell you."

"

See you in anger.

" 。"Chi Jingyuan hurriedly put down his chopsticks, stood up to say goodbye to his elder sister, but was pushed back into his seat by his older sister, who smiled and waved before walking out." 。After a while, dinner was over. The two brothers sat on the sofa together, watching TV. 。

On TV, SBS's Monday-Tuesday drama "Salaryman Chu Han Ji" was playing. This drama inexplicably linked the historical story of the Chu-Han Contention during the Xia Kingdom with the white-collar life on the peninsula. This interdimensional brainwave left Park Gyung-won speechless.

But I heard that the show's ratings are still decent, you could say it has its own merits. 。I glanced at it absentmindedly for a while, and I heard my second brother's voice in my ears: "How do you feel today" 。Although the voice was the same, the tone was more serious than before and no longer joking. 。"So-so, about what I expected." 。"Chi Jingyuan lay slumped on the sofa, his expression incredibly lazy." 。"Looking at your state, you don't seem to be doing well. Don't come crying a few days later saying you're too tired and unbearable, then run back home." 。Chi Jingxu looked at Chi Jingyuan like this, curled his lips and sarcastically said: 。

While Chi Jingyuan responded to his brother with a look of understanding, he said nothing.

He believed that with the tacit understanding between them brothers, his older brother could definitely get it instantly. 。"... Ji Jingxu pursed his lips, selectively ignoring his younger brother's disdain. He glanced at the television screen and then continued, "Your leave of absence paperwork is already done. Now you can finally stop going to class." 。First release on Traditional Novel Network., wouldn't he just become a comedic artist like Kara 。Impossible"Wow, Yuan's archery posture looks really good, and he's very confident.
