Rebirth: My Brother Can Only Be Mine

The next morning, Lin Huaijin opened his eyes in a daze, and his brother was gone from the bed. He woke up instantly.

Where is my brother? Where did he go? Or was I dreaming yesterday? Is my brother still in the cold pond?

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Lin Huaijin's mind. He quickly got up, put on his clothes and went to the cold pond to take a look.

After opening the door, I saw my brother's back standing quietly under the eaves.

At this time, the sun had not risen yet. There was only a hint of paleness in the sky and the morning mist made shadows appear hazy. Looking from the side, there were still condensed dewdrops on the eyelashes.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Qing turned around and said, "It's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Lin Qing walked towards his brother.

Lin Huaijin pursed his lips, the aftereffects of fear still gripping his heart, causing his voice to tremble unconsciously. "Brother is here earlier, can't you sleep?"

Lin Qing noticed his brother's panic, walked up to him, touched his head and comforted him. "Brother got up too early, Xiao Jin, can you go to sleep for a while?"

Lin Huaijin shook his head, took a step forward and hugged his brother's waist, buried his head in his brother's chest and said in a muffled voice: "No, I don't want to sleep anymore."

I just want to look at my brother, afraid that he will leave me again.

Lin Qing stroked the furry head in his arms: "Then you wash up, I'll go make breakfast."

Lin Huaijin moved his hands up and hung them around his brother's neck, then jumped and hung on his brother again. "Brother, carry me to wash up."

Lin Qing patted his back and said, "You are so old, but you still need your brother to carry you to wash. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Don't be ashamed, you are still young."

Lin Huaijin is not ashamed. He has always wanted to be a pendant on his brother and wishes he could hang on his brother for twelve hours a day.

"You can't do this tomorrow. Xiaojin, you're already fifteen years old."

Although Lin Qing also likes to be held by his younger brother, he is already grown up after all, and it is not right to continue like this.

"Okay, brother. Then carry me to wash up today." Lin Huaijin thought, let's talk about it tomorrow.

Lin Qing carried him to the bathroom, and after washing up, she tidied up his clothes and fuzzy hair which were a little messy as he had just gotten up in a hurry.

Lin Huaijin touched the red headband on her head, which was the same red as her brother's, and smiled happily.

"Brother, I will tie your hair tomorrow too."

"Okay, thank you Xiaojin first."

After they finished tidying up and went out again, half of the sun had already risen in the sky.

The golden summer sun shines on the moss in the courtyard, the flowers on the fence, the grass outside the courtyard, and the forest in the distance.

The sunlight is like a pair of big hands, tearing through the morning mist, and the whole world becomes clear and bright.

There is a big tree standing outside the courtyard, and a vine hanging on the tree, with its leaves stretching out towards the sunlight, welcoming the caress of the sun without reservation.

The flowers on the fence were condensed with dewdrops all morning, reflecting subtle light in the sunlight, and they were crystal clear.

Lin Qing moved a bench for Lin Huaijin and let Lin Huaijin play in the courtyard while she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Lin Huaijin moved a stool and sat in the kitchen, ready to help his brother.

Lin Qing has already started cutting radishes, first slicing them, then shredding them, preparing them in an orderly manner.

Lin Huaijin didn't know where to start, so he had to circle around his brother.

In the end, Lin Huaijin helped out by making fire, just like he did five years ago.

However, compared to five years ago, for Lin Huaijin, who is now a third-grade alchemist, making fire is as easy as breathing.

"Hey, what are we going to eat for breakfast?" Yue Lingluo stepped into the kitchen, followed by Uncle Yue with a beard.

"The radish cakes will be ready soon." Lin Qing was packing up the tools while the radish cakes were already being steamed in the pot.

"That sounds great." "Brother Lin Qing, you are amazing. How come you have so many?"

"My family made it for me before, and I learned a little bit by sitting beside them and helping them," said Lin Qing.

"Not bad, very fragrant, it seems we are in for a treat." Uncle Yue nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Huaijin rolled his eyes and said, "Master, when my brother had an attack last night, the color of the poisonous blood was already very bright. Is he getting better soon?"

Uncle Yue nodded. "It should be soon. When the poisonous blood is the same color as normal blood, it will be fine."

"Great."

After breakfast, Uncle Yue took Lin Qing to register for admission.

Although we said we would leave after the secret realm opens in three months, there are still three months left.

Uncle Yue thinks that a child who has been secluded for five years needs to find people of the same age to integrate with.

Lin Huaijin originally sat with Mu Xia. After his brother entered school, he quickly moved his things to his brother's side.

I can only be my brother’s deskmate!

Mu Xia: ... Can I still keep a brother who has forgotten the friendship with his deskmate when he has a brother? Waiting online, no rush.

While the teacher was demonstrating the various combinations of Qingxin Grass on the podium, Mu Xia turned around and criticized Lin Huaijin: "Have we fed the dogs our five years of brotherhood?"

Lin Huaijin nodded perfunctorily while sharing his study notes with his brother: "Yeah, yeah."

Mu Xia: ...

Lin Qing raised his eyes, glanced at Mu Xia who turned back, and pointed behind him.

Mu Xia was startled. The teacher was already standing behind him, staring at him with a dark face.

"Mu Daxia, if you don't want to go to class, get out and don't disturb other classmates."

"Master Mu, I want to learn. I just turned around to give notes to my new classmate." Mu Xia said.

"Hmph." Mr. Mu walked back to the podium.

"Mu Xia is Master Mu's son, but Master Mu is very strict in class, especially with Mu Xia." Lin Huaijin tilted his head slightly and whispered to his brother.

"He's not a son, he's a younger brother." Mu Xia explained while leaning back.

"Uh-huh, ah." Lin Huaijin still said perfunctorily.

Lin Huaijin turned his head to look at his brother's profile as he was carefully checking his notes, but he didn't dare to look back for too long, for fear that the teacher would think that he was not taking the class seriously.

If I had known earlier, I should have let my brother sit in front of me so that I could always look at the back of his head.

Lin Huaijin thought about it, grabbed one of his brother's hands, hid under the desk, and quietly played with his brother's fingers.

Lin Qing looked up in surprise, then let him go and used his other hand to flip through his notes.

By the end of the morning, Lin Huaijin had finished reading the first notebook, and Lin Qing took out the second one, preparing to catch up as soon as possible.

Lin Huaijin pulled him up and said, "Brother, let's go. It's time to go home for lunch."

Lin Qing covered his notes, put the remaining unread notes neatly back on the desk, and went home with Yue Lingluo and his brother for dinner.

A white figure caught up with him from behind, "Lin Xiaojin, wait for me, I'm going to Uncle Yue's house for dinner today too."

Mu Xia grabbed Lin Huaijin's neck from behind. He was half a head taller than Lin Huaijin, and he used Lin Huaijin's shoulders as a crutch.

Lin Qing's eyes darkened, and he casually pulled the hand off his brother's shoulder, turned to Mu Xia and said, "Hello, Mu Xia, my name is Lin Qing, and I'm Lin Huaijin's brother."

Mu Xia stuttered, "Hello, brother. My name is Mu Xia, and I am Lin Huaijin's best brother."

Brother, this brother’s aura is a bit scary. I hope I haven’t offended him.

Lin Qing smiled and said, "I have been in seclusion for the past few years. Thank you for taking care of Xiaojin over the years."

Mu Xia: “No, no.” Mu Xia waved his hands repeatedly.

Yue Lingluo, who was originally quiet, suddenly elbowed Mu Xia rudely and said, "When did you become so polite, future master of alchemy."

Mu Xia: "You'd better stop talking. You look better when you're silent."

Yue Lingluo: "Then I won't take you home for dinner. You'd better talk when you're not eating. You can go home with Master Mu."

Mu Xia: "No, sister. He makes me recite my lessons while eating lunch. Lunch is the only time I can leave his sight." Mu Xia looked bitter.

Yue Lingluo: "Okay, since you're so sincere in calling me sister, I'll forgive you first."

Mu Xia: “Okay~”
