Seeing the photo album on the bedside table, Ye Xingguang’s head exploded again. This was Ye Junqing’s room?

Oh no! What would Ye Junqing think about her?

Ye Xingguang didn’t know how she felt as she went downstairs for breakfast. She had just walked into the living room when she heard a young man’s excited voice.

“Brother Qing, I thought about it for the entire night. I definitely didn’t see it wrongly. There was definitely a mermaid swimming in the swimming pool last night. This morning, I especially went into the swimming pool to take a closer look. Then, I found this fish scale.”

Ye Xingguang stopped. A fish scale?

She climbed out of the swimming pool in a hurry. While she was in panic, her tail hit something, causing her to gasp in pain. Perhaps that piece of fish scale had been knocked off?

Damn it, why was she so careless? She left evidence behind!

“Are you serious? Is this a fish scale?”

An unfamiliar male voice sounded in the dining room. It was Ji Qishu. He was two years older than Tang Zhou and was 24 this year.

Tang Zhou mumbled, “If this isn’t a fish scale, then what else can it be? Look at the color of the fish scale. There’s a pearly white glow in the golden-blue color. She’s too charming and beautiful. I’ve fallen in love with her. Oh, the mermaid of my dream. From now on, she’ll be my first love!”

Ji Qishu rolled his eyes at him. “Didn’t you have your first love at the age of three?”

“Nonsense! From now on, my only first love is her! I must find her. She must be in this manor. I want to marry her!”

Tang Zhou had just expressed his intentions when he heard Ye Junqing say, “Investigate the matter in City Z and Fengyang Village in Yang Town. Fu Zuo, buy a flight ticket for Xiao Zhou today. This matter is quite urgent. Get him a flight ticket for the morning, so he can leave as soon as possible.”

Tang Zhou jumped up. “What? Why do you want me to go to investigate the matter in City Z and Yang Town’s Fengyang Village? There will be a lot of mosquitoes in that remote village in summer. Maybe there won’t even be a guesthouse. How can a rich man like me stand it? Brother Qing, ask someone else to go.”

“I only trust you.” Ye Junqing gave him a trusting look.

The naive Tang Zhou was immediately moved by this trust. He wanted to leave immediately and would go through fire and water without hesitation.

“Leave the fish scale.”

Tang Zhou refused again and hid it in his palm like a treasure. “Why?”

Ye Junqing said, “Leave it here. I’ll help you look into your first love.”

“Oh, that’s right. Brother Qing, you have to take good care of it. Don’t lose it. I plan to find a jewelry store and ask them to help me make it into a pendant, so I can wear it around my neck. This is the token of love between me and my first love.”

Ye Xingguang walked into the dining room, feeling a chill in her heart.

She looked in the direction of the voice. She had never thought that the person who treated her fish scale as a treasure was actually a sissy.

Although she called him a sissy, his movements weren’t feminine. It was just that the shape of his face was too small and girly. He looked exceptionally exquisite. The most charming part of him was his eyes. They were clean and had no impurities, and were full of spiritual aura.

There was also a quiet man in the dining room. His name was Mo Fei. He looked masculine, but he didn’t talk much. He had been eating his breakfast silently.

Mo Fei, Tang Zhou, Ji Qishu and Fu Zuo all had the same identity. They were the adopted sons of the Ye family.

Ye Junqing’s father used to work in the army. In an accident, all his comrades in the same team were sacrificed. After he retired from the army, Ye Junqing’s father took the children of his comrades into his family to raise them. Although they weren’t biological siblings, they grew up together and their relationship was better than biological brothers.

They all pitied Ye Junqing being picked by an ordinary girl.

The moment Ye Xingguang entered the dining room, everyone went silent. All of them treated her like air and the atmosphere was very awkward.

She rubbed her nose and planned to leave. If she knew that Ye Junqing hadn’t gone out yet, she would definitely not go downstairs.

However, after Ji Qishu received a call, he pulled out the chair beside Ye Junqing enthusiastically. “Brother Qing, is this the girl who picked your number? Her name is Ye Xingguang, right?”

Although Ye Junqing was silent, Ji Qishu waved at Ye Xingguang as if they were close. “Xingguang, come and take a seat. The people from the Civil Affairs Bureau are coming for a home visit soon.”

Ye Xingguang stopped. “Home visit?”
