“Did you upload the wrong photo?”
After a long silence, the system replied, [… I checked once; it’s correct.]
The man in the photo had a cold expression, dressed in a pure white imperial academy military uniform. The prominent brow beneath his deep-set eyes gave him an intimidating presence.
But Tong Sui felt an overwhelming joy; this face resembled Bai Xingluo too closely.
If one had to point out the differences, perhaps it was the pitch-black short hair and those black eyes.
Like stars unable to break the gravitational pull of the universe, shattering into countless particles, collapsing into a black hole at the center.
Devouring all light from the surrounding area, no material could escape.
Seeing Tong Sui’s expression, the system felt uneasy, saying, [They might just look alike, but don’t think too much. They can’t be the same person.]
“Mm-mm-mm.”
Tong Sui responded absentmindedly, yet he felt fully alive.
The system might be mistaken, but Tong Sui was not.
He was too familiar with everything about Luo Luo; it could not be mere resemblance.
He simply wasn’t listening to the advice.
The system sighed inwardly, [Fine, you can think of them as one person, but he won’t have the memories from before. To him, you are a stranger.]
Although Tong Sui did not understand why it had to be this way, he felt incredibly lucky to be able to meet again.
As for memories, as long as they were together, he could create brand new memories for Luo Luo.
Just as he was getting excited, the door to the room suddenly swung open.
A tall figure walked in.
Wow, red hair.
Tong Sui retained the memories of this body; their red hair was a family trait, natural and conspicuous, making anyone who saw it hesitant to provoke.
The system said, [Tong Sui, the brother of your current body, is also one of the background characters.]
Tong Sui: “…”
Same old routine.
Brothers falling for the same protagonist, battling it out until they pave the way for the main character, truly two unfortunate souls.
Tong Si Nian entered the room, holding a tray of food.
He was ready to have a big fight with this irresponsible brother, yet the other merely stared blankly at him.
Tong Si Nian: “…”
His brother often ran around with a bunch of bad friends, failing even the imperial unification entrance exam, which was quite embarrassing for the family.
But that wasn’t all; he drove a mech without a license recklessly, clumsily crashing into the mountains, even breaking his hand in the process.
The more Tong Si Nian thought about it, the angrier he became. He slammed the tray on the table and drew the curtains wide open.
Bright light flooded the room instantly.
“Come eat.”
Having completed his task, Tong Si Nian intended to leave.
But the person on the bed moved.
He threw back the covers, stumbled to put on the slippers by the bed, and walked toward him.
Tong Si Nian frowned.
What was he up to this time?
For the past few days, due to Tong Sui’s hand injury, he had been ordered not to leave the house.
This had caused quite a disruption for several days.
The food Tong Si Nian brought always ended up taken away untouched by the servants.
Things got so chaotic that he would even throw things around in frustration.
Tong Sui slowly walked past him and sat at the edge of the table, whispering, “… Thank you, brother.”
Tong Si Nian froze completely.
He awkwardly turned his head; Tong Sui picked up chopsticks and began eating in small bites, so well-behaved that he couldn’t help but rub his eyes.
The scene before him had not changed at all, with Tong Sui still eating obediently, his cheeks puffing out.
Tong Si Nian asked, “What did you just call me?”
Tong Sui looked up, “Brother.”
Tong Si Nian fell silent.
How long had it been since he heard this brother call him that?
He couldn’t remember; it felt like throughout his memories, Tong Sui had always been spoiled and domineering.
Seeing him gaze intently, Tong Sui pushed his plate slightly away.
“Brother, are you hungry too?”
Tong Si Nian was momentarily pulled back to reality by his voice, suddenly unsure how to face such a 180-degree change in Tong Sui’s attitude.
He replied, “I’m not hungry; take your time eating.”
Just as Tong Si Nian was about to leave the room, Tong Sui suddenly called out to him.
“Brother, I want to attend the Imperial Military Academy.”
Tong Si Nian paused, gripping the doorknob, suddenly feeling reassured.
So, this was the reason for the change in attitude?
“Understood.”
Tong Si Nian closed the door and went downstairs.
The Imperial Military Academy primarily trained alpha nobles; graduates would become top-tier professionals in military and political fields.
Such an environment was crucial for networking, with fierce competition naturally.
The unified entrance exam was the most mainstream way of enrollment at the academy.
With Tong Sui’s abysmal written test scores, adding up ten attempts wouldn’t suffice to pass the admission line.
Fortunately, the Imperial Military Academy had a certain number of spots each year reserved for students who could afford sponsorship fees.
Their family owned a mech manufacturing group, holding most conventional mech patents and manufacturing capabilities.
They would never lack money.
With their family’s financial resources and influence, it would be easy to send someone to notify them.
Tong Si Nian walked downstairs.
His thoughtful expression caught the eyes of Tong Father and Tong Mother, who were sitting in the hall.
Tong Father asked, “Is he still not eating?”
Tong Si Nian replied, “He ate, but he said he wants to attend the Military Academy.”
Tong Father said, “Isn’t that good? You graduated from there, so it’s just right for him to experience it too.”
“Dad, the management at the Military Academy is very strict; it’s not as simple as it seems,”
