"What happened, what happened?"
"I miss the streamer, I want to know what's going on too!"
"Can Dan Zong give us some details? (Pretty please jpg.)"
The viewers in the live stream had no idea what was happening.
They were frantically worried.
Desperate to know the inside story.
It was like… watching a drama that cut off halfway.
And showing a prompt: VIP members can continue watching.
"I'm furious! (Smashes cup jpg.)"
"The hundredth time I've wanted to subscribe to VIP, but the live stream won't let me."
...
The viewers were anxious because in the live stream footage…
The three people in the bedroom, having learned something, were on the verge of collapse.
Mother Xu clutched her chest, crying heartbrokenly, "Nannan, my Nannan…"
It turned out she had been so close to Nannan.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Mom didn't know it was you…
Father Xu took off his glasses, pretending to rub his eyes.
But his choked voice betrayed his true emotions, "Child, you've been wronged."
"Why…"
Xu Ran sat down on the bed, his eyes darting around rapidly.
Brother, Xu Nan…
He wasn't unmoved by Xu Nan's actions.
But his doubts only deepened.
If all of this was true, then their brotherhood should have been very good.
But why had it become like this?
Could it be that the feeling of having a body was too good…
Xu Nan was unwilling to return?
So, they had a conflict later.
And he won, regaining control of the body, which led to all of this?
Or…
Was the person currently inhabiting the body actually Xu Nan, who had successfully taken over?
But after taking over the body, he forgot all about it?
Xu Nan, Xu Ran… Xu Ran, Xu Nan.
He quickly shook his head.
No, there was still one blind spot.
—Why did he not remember anything?
Thinking of this, Xu Ran suddenly felt a pang in his chest.
It hurt a little.
It felt like something was missing there.
...
...
'Mom, Mom…'
This word, Xu Nan had called many times in his heart.
He had also taught Ran Ran countless times.
But to actually say it and receive a response was still the first time.
It was a little greedy for this feeling, and also greedy for Mom's warmth.
'Just for a little while.'
It told itself.
Mom was calling Ran Ran, not it.
Ran Ran was also waiting for it to return.
"Mom…"
Xu Nan nuzzled into his mother's embrace, then voluntarily returned to Ran Ran's body.
'Brother, why did you come back so quickly?'
The little person in Ran Ran's heart had just rested for a bit, not having had a good break yet, when he saw his brother return.
Xu Nan shook his head, 'Enough.'
This was enough.
This was very good.
Having Mom, Dad, and Ran Ran.
It was very happy now.
If it stayed any longer, it feared this happiness would overflow.
'Hurry back, Mom is still waiting for you,' Xu Nan reminded him.
'Okay.'
Ran Ran looked at his brother, then returned to his body.
As soon as he returned, he felt himself being gently placed on the bed.
He quietly opened his eyes a sliver.
Mother Xu immediately discovered him. Mother Xu tickled his little nose, "There you are, you've learned to pretend to be asleep."
"Hahaha~"
Ran Ran rolled over and giggled.
After that, Ran Ran and Xu Nan often exchanged control of the body to go out and see things.
However, Xu Nan only stayed for a short while each time he went out.
It was as if he was just stepping out for some fresh air.
'Brother, brother, this cake is delicious, come out and try it quickly!'
'Brother, this bunny is so cute, so fluffy, come and pet it quickly!'
'Brother, brother, stay a little longer, why are you still timing yourself?'
Ran Ran watched as his brother always set an alarm, five minutes, or ten minutes.
As soon as the alarm rang, he would immediately return.
Without any hesitation.
Even without an alarm, Brother would count the time in his heart.
It was like following a procedure.
'Brother, don't you like going out to play?'
Ran Ran frowned, confused.
He really liked this world and hoped his brother would like it too.
If he was happy and his brother was happy, then that was true happiness!
Xu Nan explained, 'This is your body. If I stay out for too long, there might be side effects.'
Ran Ran: 'How could that be? I'm fine, aren't I?'
Xu Nan patted his fluffy head, 'You seem fine now, but what if the body and soul progress at different rates in the future, and you don't grow taller?'
Ran Ran's soul state had always grown in sync with his body.
Only its spiritual form maintained its original appearance.
Hearing this, Ran Ran's eyes widened.
Then he stood up, his chubby little face shaking, and argued with reason:
'How is that possible! Mom said that drinking more milk and eating more vegetables and meat will make you grow tall!'
Xu Nan: '…And exercising more.'
Just eating and not moving would only make you grow wider.
...
As Ran Ran started attending school and came into contact with more people and things.
Xu Nan proactively reduced the number of times he went out.
Most of the time, it watched everything happening outside from the perspective of an observer.
Every time Ran Ran encountered something new, he would babble in his heart, sharing it with it or complaining about it.
'Brother, that deskmate next to me is so annoying, he always uses my pencils!'
'Wow, brother, brother! So much of what the teacher teaches, you've already told me!'
'Brother, brother…'
Later, Ran Ran also enrolled in two extracurricular classes.
He also had to go to extracurricular classes after school every day.
He got used to it and didn't feel tired; Ran Ran was quite interested.
However, he also became increasingly busy.
Ran Ran didn't look for it during the day, and it rarely spoke up on its own initiative.
Whether it was academics or extracurricular classes.
When Ran Ran was in class, it would also learn and then repeatedly memorize it in its heart.
When Ran Ran couldn't remember, it would give a gentle reminder.
...
'Ran Ran, can't you sleep?'
That night, Xu Nan spoke up proactively.
On the bed,
Ran Ran turned over, his fingers still moving occasionally.
'Brother, I have a performance on stage tomorrow. I'm a little nervous.'
He lifted the covers and sat up, 'Should I get up and practice again?'
Xu Nan: 'You've practiced enough on your own. Believe in yourself.'
During this period, to allow Ran Ran to focus on practicing.
It had almost never appeared.
Ran Ran hummed, 'Brother, will you always be with me?'
Xu Nan: 'Yes, why do you suddenly ask this?'
'It's nothing, I'll always be with brother too.'
After speaking, Ran Ran closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
Today, he had mentioned his brother to a very good friend, but the friend had called him a liar.
How annoying.
He wouldn't play with that person anymore.
Watching Ran Ran fall asleep, Xu Nan couldn't sleep.
Before, Ran Ran always wanted it to sleep with him, so it had also developed the habit of sleeping.
Recently, it didn't know if it was its imagination, but it always felt that the connection between it and Ran Ran had become much weaker.
But soon, Xu Nan realized…
This was not its imagination.
As Ran Ran grew up, their communication became less and less.
At one point, they hadn't spoken for half a year.
It was as if…
He had forgotten its existence.
Not existing, naturally he couldn't hear its voice.
