Chapter 9

Sun Xingyu and Li Ziyi were kept behind by the principal. Since the two had not yet decided to join the Songjiang Soul Martial University's youth class, they would be facing a series of key high school admissions officers.

As for Rong Taotao...

He was directly taken away by Rong Yang and Yang Chunxi.

Walking beside them, Rong Taotao felt increasingly uneasy. After all, Rong Yang and Yang Chunxi looked very intimate, and it didn't seem to be an act.

"What are you thinking about, little brain?" Rong Yang put his arm around Rong Taotao's shoulders and led his younger brother out of the school, casually ruffling his naturally curly hair.

Hmm... feels good~

In fact, both brothers had naturally curly hair, but since Rong Yang joined the military and got a clean, short haircut, he couldn't ruffle his own soft, natural curls anymore.

After all, touching your own head isn't as comfortable as touching someone else's, right?

Rong Taotao viciously pushed Rong Yang away with his shoulder.

Rong Yang, who was 1.85 meters tall, towered over the 15-year-old Rong Taotao, who was still growing and was a head shorter, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

Rong Yang smiled at Rong Taotao, not minding the push, and continued to ask, "What's on your mind? You've been so quiet on the way. That's not like you. Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Ah." Rong Taotao grinned and said, "I'm thinking about lyrics."

On Rong Yang's other side, Yang Chunxi suddenly became interested and curiously asked, "What song?"

Rong Taotao tilted his head and looked at Rong Yang, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he sang a classic old song: "You said you'd come to see me in two days, but I've been waiting for over a year..."

Rong Yang: "..."

"Ha..." Yang Chunxi was momentarily stunned, then, as if she had hit a funny spot, she couldn't help but laugh, seeing Rong Yang's embarrassed look. She completed the next line for Rong Taotao, "365 days are hard to get through, you don't really care about me~"

Yang Chunxi's voice carried a smile, and although she was a bit off-key, it had a peculiar charm.

"Hey?" Rong Taotao listened to Yang Chunxi's singing and said, "You're not that old, but you know some pretty old songs?"

Yang Chunxi's face slightly stiffened. Is this something you should say at your age?

Tremble!

Once a teenager's fire is ignited, it's aimed at the whole world!

Rong Yang gently patted Rong Taotao's shoulder and said, "You should be more respectful when talking to Teacher Yang."

To his surprise, Yang Chunxi, who was standing beside him, reacted and gave Rong Yang a playful look, saying, "Taotao is complimenting me for being young."

Rong Taotao: ???

Oh, so I have such high emotional intelligence?

"Let's get to know each other again." Yang Chunxi casually pulled Rong Yang away and put her arm around Rong Taotao's shoulders, saying, "In school, call me Teacher Yang, and in private, you can call me sister."

Rong Taotao tilted his head slightly and looked curiously at the gentle and beautiful Yang Chunxi, saying, "Which kind of sister? From my side or from my brother's side?"

Yang Chunxi's face turned slightly red, but she said confidently, "Well, your brother and I are dating."

Sure enough!

Rong Taotao nodded inwardly. The two had been very intimate throughout the journey, and he had already guessed it was true.

"So... sister-in-law?" Rong Taotao blinked his eyes.

Seeing Rong Taotao's curious little face, Yang Chunxi finally couldn't hold back and decided to give him a hard time!

Her delicate hand slowly raised and finally landed on Rong Taotao's head.

In fact, since the first time Yang Chunxi saw Rong Taotao, she had wanted to touch his natural curls!

Finally!

She touched them!

Tsk... feels good!

"Call me that after we get married." Rong Yang said from the side.

Rong Taotao turned his head away, creating some distance from Yang Chunxi, and looked at Rong Yang, saying, "When did you start dating?"

Rong Yang: "A year ago."

Wow, this scoundrel!!

Rong Taotao's mind exploded!

He pointed at Rong Yang and said, "Aren't you busy with work!? You have time to date, but no time to come home and see me!?"

"Actually..." Yang Chunxi suddenly spoke up, explaining, "Your brother and I met through work."

Rong Taotao: "..."

"Here, as a first meeting, this is a gift from your sister-in-law." Yang Chunxi took a square box from her elegant bag and handed it to Rong Taotao.

Compared to Rong Yang's "rigorous" attitude, Yang Chunxi was quite open about calling herself "sister-in-law," showing her confidence in their current and future relationship.

"What is it? A phone?" Rong Taotao held the box and looked at it from all sides. Is it a DaoGu C8500?

Yang Chunxi looked at Rong Taotao and said softly, "My phone number is already in there. If you have any difficulties with life or studies after you start school, you can always contact me."

"Bro! I misunderstood you!" Rong Taotao suddenly looked at Rong Yang.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Rong Yang asked, puzzled.

Rong Taotao: "Dad sees me once every three years, and you see me once a year.

You knew no one was taking care of me, so you came up with a one-time solution, infiltrated the school, and found me a teacher sister-in-law to manage my studies and life?"

Rong Yang scratched his head, and his expression was somewhat similar to Rong Taotao's: "Uh..."

Rong Taotao: "She hasn't even moved in yet, and you're already giving her tasks and putting her in chains. Are you even human?"

Yang Chunxi's expression was a bit strange. The more she interacted with Rong Taotao, the more she found him a bit mischievous...

It seems... the campus life in that icy and snowy place will be quite interesting.

...

Under the guidance of his brother and sister-in-law, Rong Taotao had a big barbecue meal. It was partly to celebrate their reunion and partly to celebrate his awakening of six soul slots.

After the meal, Rong Taotao, enjoying the family time, got a haircut with the two of them. His hair on the sides was cut a bit shorter, but the natural curls on top were kept, making him look much cooler.

By the afternoon, the three of them returned home.

It was still the 17th floor, and they still opened the fire hydrant. Rong Taotao, familiar with the routine, took out the key, opened the door, and chatted with Yang Chunxi: "Do you know his real name?"

Yang Chunxi had been chatting with Rong Taotao all the way, and through the barbecue, their relationship had quickly warmed up. She really liked this cheerful and mischievous boy.

Hmm... perhaps it was more about loving the house and the crow.

Hearing Rong Taotao's question, Yang Chunxi was a bit surprised and asked, "Isn't it Rong Yang?"

Rong Taotao opened the door, changed into slippers, and said, "Ah, it turns out it's Rong Yang. After I was born, he changed his name to Rong Yangyang."

"Oh?" Yang Chunxi smiled and turned to Rong Yang, "You never told me that."

"Hehe." Rong Yang smiled apologetically and said, "Before I was eight, I was always called Rong Yang. I got used to it and didn't change it. After Taotao was born, my mother wanted to give us related names.

She found the phrases 'Junzi Taotao' and 'Junzi Yangyang' in the Book of Songs, so she named my brother Rong Taotao and added a 'Yang' to my name."

Yang Chunxi: "What do these names mean?"

Rong Taotao had already walked into the kitchen and started boiling water, saying, "She probably wanted us to be happy."

As he spoke, Rong Taotao poked his head out of the kitchen and looked at Rong Yang, saying, "Are you happy?"

Such a simple yet soul-piercing question left Rong Yang speechless...

Yang Chunxi understood that this family was not an ordinary one. It could even be described as "life and death."

Currently, all the knowledge Rong Taotao had about his mother came from his middle school history textbook or some information online, but in reality...

When Rong Taotao learns the full story of his mother, he might not be like this anymore.

It's not that the history textbook is wrong; it just doesn't tell the whole story.

Rong Yang's job nature clearly allowed him to know the "full story," but it was evident that he hadn't explained anything to his brother.

Yang Chunxi also understood that Rong Taotao's decision to participate in the Songjiang Soul Martial University youth class assessment was likely influenced by his mother.

It's unknown how he will react when he truly meets his mother and knows everything.

Thinking about this, Yang Chunxi pursed her lips and changed the topic: "Your brother only has one day off and will leave soon. I'll handle your enrollment. Tomorrow, you'll go north with me to Songjiang Soul Martial."

Rong Taotao carried a pot of hot water and took two cups to the living room, placing the teacups on the coffee table and pouring water for the two of them, jokingly saying, "Are you so sure I can get into Songjiang Soul Martial? It's a top-notch school."

Rong Taotao ignored the news that Rong Yang was leaving soon.

It's not that he didn't hear it; he was just used to it.

They had the barbecue, he got a haircut, and Rong Yang was there for his awakening ceremony...

That's enough.

For Rong Taotao, it was really enough.

Although he often spoke sarcastically and clashed with Rong Yang, deep down, he was already satisfied.

He wasn't a greedy person.

There's a saying in China: poor children grow up fast.

Rong Taotao's family wasn't poor, but he lacked family companionship and lived alone for a long time, making him more mature than his peers.

Of course, this maturity was partly due to the two years of strict education from his devilish master.

After all, strict discipline produces filial children...

What do you do if a child doesn't listen and isn't well-behaved?

You just... beat them less!

Yang Chunxi smiled at Rong Taotao and said, "Of course, I'm sure you can get into Songjiang Soul Martial University, after all, you are..."

At this point, Yang Chunxi paused, took the hot water Rong Taotao handed her, and the meaning was clear.

"Got it!" Rong Taotao placed the other cup of hot water in front of Rong Yang and said, "I am Yang Chunxi's uncle!"

Yang Chunxi was holding the cup to her lips, and hearing this, she was stunned: "Huh?"

Rong Taotao grinned: "Let's use ancient titles! I'll call you sister-in-law, and you call me uncle!"

Tsk tsk... it has that flavor!

After entering Songjiang Soul Martial,

If my sister-in-law treats me as cruelly as my devilish master...

I'll change my name to Rong Song in front of her!

Thinking about this, Rong Taotao subconsciously touched his buttocks.

Damn! No!

The sense of immersion is too strong!

I've already changed my name to Rong Song!
