Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

The distance between Dicheng and Xuancheng is too close, and Yulong Village, located at the junction of the two cities, is even closer. It only takes more than an hour to drive home, and that's because there was a traffic jam on the road, otherwise it would have been even faster.

It was not yet half past twelve when Bai Meng and Qi entered the house carrying a bunch of things. Kong Juan, Bai Lan were still having lunch, and Wen Juan was there too.

"Mom, this is paint." After introducing, Bai Meng put the lunch box containing king crab and the leftovers from McDonald's on the table, and took the rest to the kitchen.

Looking at the seafood feast that filled the entire table, Bai Lan asked in surprise, "Brother, where did this come from?"

Coming out of the kitchen, Bai Meng asked Qi to sit down and told him to make himself at ease, then he replied to his sister: "The girl who drowned that day invited me. By the way, why did you rush me back?"

From the moment Bai Meng entered the room, Wenjuan had been staring at him. Her big eyes had turned into little stars, and she was so fascinated that she forgot where she was.

Because there were guests at home, Bai Lan behaved more politely, "Brother, it's Xiaojuan, she wants to take a photo with you."

Wen Juan came back to her senses and pushed Bai Lan with a red face. She wanted to say that it was not the case, but she did not want to go against her will. She had never seen Brother Bai like this before. He was so charming.

Bai Meng took out a few bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator and put them on the table, saying with a smile: "I thought it was something serious. If you want to take pictures, just take them. Wait for me to change clothes first."

"No, brother, just wear this one!" Bai Lan hurriedly stopped him.

"Okay, hurry up and take the photos. I'll go change my clothes after you're done." Bai Meng opened a bottle of beer and placed it in front of Qi. "Qi, treat this as your own home. Be casual."

Qi nodded, his eyes moving from Wenjuan to Bai Lan.

Bai Lan was about to stand up with her cell phone in her hand when she saw Qi looking at her. She got so nervous that she almost tripped over a chair.

Bai Meng was quick to support her sister and said, "You are so old, why are you still so irritable?"

"I just didn't notice it." Bai Lan stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, quickly stood up, and pulled Wen Juan out of the room.

Bai Meng also followed him out, leaving Kong Juan and Qi staring at each other in the room.

Kong Juan smiled and said gracefully, "Don't be polite, just treat it as your own home. Mengmeng rarely brings friends back."

Qi's expression suddenly became serious, and he stood up and saluted respectfully to Kong Juan.

"Hey, you, you, you don't have to do this!" Kong Juan shouted in panic, not knowing why Qi suddenly saluted.

After the ceremony, Qi still had that expressionless look on his face, and slowly began to speak: "My surname is Si, and I'm from Yingcheng. A few days ago, Bai Meng went to Yingcheng to play, and by chance, I discovered that he was actually related to my family."

"Although it's a bit far away, the elders in my family are very sure that the Bai family and my family are related by blood and have the same ancestor."

"Ah! There is such a thing!" Kong Juan stood up in surprise.

Qi nodded: "There are not many people in my family, and every direct relative is very precious. I didn't come to your house before because I was afraid of disturbing you."

"I'm here to explore the way first. When you have time, I hope you can go to Yingcheng to have a look. Many elderly people in my family also want to see you."

"One of my cousins ​​will be in the dungeon tonight and will come to visit tomorrow. She knows more than me. If you have any questions, you can ask her."

"Oh, oh, I get it. Talk to me later. I'll call your uncle back!" Kong Juan came to her senses and hurried back to the house to get her cell phone to call Bai Qiang and ask him to come back.

As if he had completed a mission, Qi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the beer on the table and sipped it. Although his face remained expressionless, he was actually nervous inside.

In the yard, Bai Meng and Wen Juan were standing under a tree. Bai Lan turned on the camera function on her mobile phone and was directing them to take pictures.

"Stand closer, not so far away!"

Although he studied in Yingcheng for half a year, he still has the bold and casual personality of the villagers.

But when facing Bai Meng, Wenjuan acts like a shy girl. She wants to get closer but is timid, which is very cute.

Bai Meng was much more generous, and he had no romantic feelings for Wen Juan; he just treated her as a younger sister.

He pulled her arm closer, then put his hand on top of her head and said with a smile, "It's just a photo, why are you shy? Just stand still."

"Hmm!" Wenjuan's face was red. When she was so close, she could smell the fragrance of some grass or trees with just a breath.

"Yes, just like that, look at the camera and smile." Bai Lan turned into a photographer and directed the two.

After taking pictures under the tree and posing a few more times, the three of them returned to the house. At this time, Kong Juan had finished calling Bai Qiang and sat down at the dining table again.

After entering the house, Bai Meng pulled her sister who was chattering with Wen Juan, pointed at Qi and said, "Call me brother from now on, he is our relative."

"Brother?" Bai Lan widened her eyes. She never knew she had another brother.

Qi stood up again and nodded to Bai Lan: "Hello, Sister Lan."

It was the first time someone called her "Sister Lan". Bai Lan felt a little embarrassed and said with a slightly red face, "Hello, Brother."

"Okay, sit down and eat." Seeing his sister's timid look, Bai Meng was furious and knocked her on the forehead, "You just know how to show off to me."

Bai Lan glared at him fiercely, turned around and pulled Wen Juan back to her seat, and continued to look through the photos she had just taken on her phone.

Bai Qiang went to the village to drink with some people. When he received a call from his wife, he rushed back as soon as the wine was poured.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a strange young man standing up and bowing to him. He was startled, but then he realized that this must be the one who came to recognize his relatives.

"Okay, okay, sit down and treat this as your own home." Having been farming all his life, Bai Qiang didn't know what to say, but the joy on his face did not diminish.

The Bai family has lived on this land for generations, and has always been a single-line family. They have never heard of such close relatives from so far away.

Seeing his father happy, Bai Meng was also happy, "Dad, would you like a drink?"

Bai Qiang nodded: "Drink."

After opening a bottle of beer and handing it over, Bai Meng asked Qi for the car keys, then stood up and said, "I'll go get two more boxes of beer. Let's drink as much as we can today. Mom, call my sister later and ask her to come back early."

"The fight is over, you should go quickly and buy some snacks to go with the wine." Kong Juan was also happy. When she was young, her family had always disagreed with her marrying in because they had their own house and would have no one to take care of them in the future.

Now, the three children in the family have grown up, and each one is better than the other. Although the eldest daughter and the second son are not well educated, they are both down-to-earth and capable, and their lives are getting better and better day by day.

Now I have found my relatives who live far away in Yingcheng, and they even recognize me as my relative. My life is becoming more and more hopeful.

After Bai Meng left, the room became quiet.

Qi himself has a cold personality, and Bai Qiang is also a man of few words, but they also have something in common: they both appear cold on the outside but are warm-hearted on the inside.

Bai Lan and Wen Juan got together, talking about little girl topics, and were happy alone.

Kong Juan realized that this wasn't going to work, so she had to bite the bullet and continue talking.

Qi basically answered every question. If the answer was difficult, he would say he didn't know and push the question to his cousin who was coming tomorrow.

When they arrived at the small shop, Bai Meng realized that he had not changed his clothes yet. Thinking that he would change them when he got back, he opened the car door and got out.

The one who was in charge of the store today was Aunt Wen. She was sitting behind the counter coaxing her child. When she heard someone come in, she looked up and was startled.

Bai Meng: "Aunt Wen, I'll move a few boxes of beer."

"Oh, let's move." Aunt Wen stared at Bai Meng for a long time before she realized who it was, but she wasn't sure. "Are you Bai Meng?"

Bai Meng picked up two boxes of beer and smiled when Aunt Wen asked, "Well, we're having seafood at home today. Xiaojuan is here too. Aunt Wen, take An An and go play for a while."

Although she was already a mother of two children, when she saw Bai Meng in formal attire, she still felt a little moved, as if she was a young girl in love, and her face turned red.

"No, I'm done eating. Is that car outside yours?"

Bai Meng shook his head: "No, it's my cousin's. Let me put the beer on it first."

"Well, go quickly." Aunt Wen stared at the child she had watched grow up since childhood. Now he is really a handsome man. She almost didn't recognize him just now.

But what did he just say?

Cousin?

Aunt Wen looked outside the store in confusion. Isn’t Mr. Bai’s family a single-family household?
