“Sis, I want to wait a while before going to Yanjing.”
“Why? You’ve already finished the Gaokao.”
“Well, now that the Gaokao’s over, the World Cup is starting, too. Sis, you know I like watching soccer. Besides, I plan to learn to drive and get my license over summer break.”
“No.”
“Huh? Why!”
“It’s simple. You can watch the World Cup here in Yanjing. You can get your driver’s license here, too! Anyway, come over in a couple of days, or I’ll come back and drag you here myself! I have class now. That’s that!”
“……”
Through the speaker of his iPhone 5s, Wei Yi heard the busy tone of the call being hung up.
“Sigh…”
Wei Yi couldn’t help sighing.
As expected, he’d known it would turn out like this.
It was the afternoon of June 11, 2014.
Wei Yi was in a fifth-tier county town in Guangdong Province.
He had just called his older sister, Chen Xinyi, who was away at college in Yanjing.
Actually, just thinking about this older sister sent a little shiver of instinctive fear through Wei Yi.
If it weren’t for that woman, he wouldn’t have died young.
That’s right. He’d died young.
Because…
The current Wei Yi was a reincarnator.
He had been reborn in June, twelve years earlier, from June 2026.
The Wei Yi of his previous life…
Aside from his height and looks, he was utterly ordinary in every other respect.
In elementary, middle, and high school, his grades were always around the middle of the pack.
He did better than expected on the Gaokao.
He had a sudden burst of brilliance.
And still only scored 560.
He went to an ordinary Second-tier university, the College of Arts and Sciences at Capital United University.
After graduating from college, he didn’t even take a job in the outside world.
He stayed in the Capital and spent three whole years taking the civil service examination.
It wasn’t until the pandemic that he finally made it through and began his career of serving the people.
As for his work and career, he considered himself ordinary there, too.
By the time he died, he was only a “Level Three Chief Staff Member.”
He served as Deputy Director of a subdistrict office in Chaoyang District.
Huh?!
An out-of-towner, thirty years old, serving as Deputy Director of a subdistrict office in the Capital?
That sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?
That was because he had connections above him!
His older sister was one of those connections.
Along with her female friends.
All right.
Back to his older sister.
His older sister, Chen Xinyi, was three years older than him. She was twenty-one this year.
She was now a top student in the Department of Political Science and Law at Renmin University of China.
She was currently a junior.
So why was his surname Wei while his older sister’s was Chen?
It was simple.
They didn’t share a father or a mother.
Wei Yi was the Chen Family’s adopted son.
His birth parents had been comrades and colleagues of Chen Xinyi’s parents.
When Wei Yi was six months old, his parents died in a car accident.
His paternal grandparents had already passed away early.
And his father had no siblings.
Wei Yi’s maternal grandparents raised him for half a year.
But the elder were in poor health, and their income in the countryside was meager.
The crucial thing was that his uncles and aunts by marriage weren’t willing to take him in either.
In the end, Chen Kaide, his father’s comrade, came to their door.
He and his wife offered to raise Wei Yi, who had just turned one.
From then on, Wei Yi became the Chen Family’s adopted son.
To many people around him, he became Chen Xinyi’s childhood betrothed husband.
And it wasn’t just other people who said that.
As far back as he could remember, his older sister Chen Xinyi had always told people he was her childhood betrothed husband.
And in fact, that was exactly how things turned out in his previous life.
He’d barely graduated from college—less than two months later, he and Chen Xinyi got married.
For the three years after their wedding, he didn’t work at all.
He stayed home and studied for the civil service examination.
His wife, Wifey Big Sister, supported him.
Even after he started working, Wifey Big Sister had his back.
That was how he became Deputy Director of a subdistrict office in Chaoyang District at the age of thirty.
Chen Xinyi also had a face so sweet it could make your teeth ache, the ultimate sweet girl.
As for her figure, she had an E-cup bosom—something very few women from the south possessed.
A slender waist and long legs.
High emotional intelligence, high IQ, and an advanced education; beautiful looks and a great figure.
She was very capable, too.
In the second semester of her freshman year, Chen Xinyi started a business in the Capital.
By the time Wei Yi went to college—that is, now— she was a junior from the south who already owned a beauty salon, a restaurant, and a Coffee Shop in the Capital.
And all of them were doing well.
Before Wei Yi died young in his later life, she had become a well-known top-tier lawyer in the Capital.
She was a senior partner at a famous law firm in the Capital.
She also ran other businesses and had a net worth of over a hundred million.
More importantly, she knew him inside and out and had treated him incredibly well ever since they were children.
A big sister like that, as his wife— from every angle, she was practically perfect, right?
But… only Wei Yi and some of his older sister’s female friends knew that his older sister was actually a monster.
She was a woman whose appetite could never be satisfied!
It was laughable. He was a towering man of iron and steel, yet he’d died at a woman’s hands.
And the ringleader was his own wife!
It wasn’t deliberate harm.
Nor was it a tragic accident.
Wei Yi had never imagined that this woman would keep at it once she’d gotten a taste of something good, squeezing every last drop out of him.
Even the donkeys on the production team got a chance to catch their breath.
But him?
He had to report for duty every day. Even time off had to be written down in a little notebook. Special circumstances counted as time off, and so did a cold war. In short, if he wasn’t on duty, it counted as time off.
Wei Yi remembered that when he was lying flat on his deathbed, he still owed her 1,111 times.
Before he was taken to the ICU, as his consciousness gradually blurred, he genuinely thought this woman was sick.
All right.
Even now, he still thought his older sister Chen Xinyi was a little crazy.
He could accept that she was greedy and liked to eat.
But she couldn’t bring other people along to eat, too!
“Sigh!” Wei Yi let out a long sigh.
“So? Your sister still wants you to go to the Capital and keep her company, right?”
“Mm…” Wei Yi replied, then turned to look at his smiling mother, Li Hongjuan.
His parents had always treated him well.
Even though their biological daughter, Chen Xinyi, was more than ten times as outstanding as their adopted son.
“Then go.”
Li Hongjuan patted her son on the shoulder. “She’s your sister. She’s not going to eat you. Besides, you two agreed that after the Gaokao, no matter how you did, you’d go to the Capital for college.”
She really was my sister.
But she really would eat me!
Wei Yi felt like crying.
“But, Mom, the Gaokao finally ended after all that effort. I still want to stay home and spend some time with you and Dad.”
“Spend time with us? Your dad just became the head of the police station, and he’s busy every day. Your mom’s a nurse and has to work all day, too. You’d just be cooped up in your room playing on the computer anyway. You might as well go have fun in the Capital. Your sister has money now, and she dotes on you so much! We’ll feel better knowing you’re with her.”
Feel better, my foot!
You might feel better, but I won’t!
It was during that summer break in his previous life that he lost his virginity on the day he’d been with the Chen Family for seventeen years!
“All right, all right. Mom, help me pack, then. I’ll leave tomorrow.” Wei Yi knew that with his parents agreeing, too, there was no point in objecting.
With his sister’s temperament, she’d really follow through.
If he really didn’t go to the Capital, his sister would definitely take leave and come back to drag him there.
For now, all he could do was take things one step at a time.
