Chapter 94: with translation of chapter title

The dance music gradually neared its end, and Jiang Liangjin led her in a final spin.

Mu Youyu didn't fuss over the title, let go of Jiang Liangjin's hand, and planned to look for her brothers.

She suddenly realized something and asked, "A Jin, how did you know I was here?"

Jiang Liangjin tilted his head, "Song Yusui and Song Huaixian told me."

This was his first time coming to the palace in Y Guo, so he followed the directions given by the two.

Lu Yuchu, who was nearby preparing to greet his sister, heard it and immediately struck Song Yusui with a hammer, "Well done, Song Yusui, you still claim it wasn't you!"

Song Yusui, struck by the hammer, coughed lightly, his gaze instantly drifting to his cousin Song Huaixian beside him, and without hesitation he passed the buck: "Song Huaixian! How could you sell Youbao's information!"

Song Huaixian: "…" A Jin sold him out.

Mu Xin: "…"

Mu Xi watched the others shifting blame, helplessly rubbed his forehead, and couldn't be bothered to retort.

Only when he saw his sister walking over with Jiang Liangjin did Mu Xi raise an eyebrow at him, "Young Master Jiang, you're impressive—you came without a word and even stole my sister's first dance."

Although his tone carried a hint of sarcastic dissatisfaction, his eyes held no real anger, rather a hint of understanding.

His sister had always had this person in her eyes since childhood, and now they were reconciled again; he had long grown accustomed to it.

Jiang Liangjin met his gaze openly, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting, his tone sincere: "Sorry, Elder Brother Xi, it won't happen again."

"Next time?" Mu Xi raised an eyebrow, "Do you still plan to steal it next time?"

Mu Youyu hurried forward, grabbed Mu Xi's sleeve, and gently shook it, "All right, second brother, don't talk about him!"

Where did I say anything about him?

But seeing his sister say that, Mu Xi fell silent.

Mu Youyu turned her head, scanned the surroundings, saw no familiar figure, and curiously asked Mu Xin, "Xin Xin brother, where is Ling brother?"

Mu Xin stepped in front of his sister, his voice calm: "He went to handle some matters."

Jiang Liangjin's gaze involuntarily fell on him.

Mu Youyu nodded obediently, released her grip on Mu Xi's hand, and pulled Jiang Liangjin, who stood beside her, closer to the group.

Jiang Liangjin understood her meaning and said, "Elder Brother Yusui, Elder Brother Yuchu, Elder Brother Huaixian, greetings."

Song Yusui smiled and patted his shoulder, "Not bad, coming so quickly."

Lu Yuchu was relatively normal, "Long time no see."

Song Huaixian also wore a smiling face, "Good evening, A Jin."

Mu Youyu then pulled Qing An, who stood beside Mu Xin, to her side and whispered, "This is Brother Qing An, my brother's friend."

Jiang Liangjin didn't ask which brother, merely looked at Qing An and politely nodded, "Greetings, Brother Qing An. I am Jiang Liangjin—the Jiang and Liang from 'Jiang wind draws rain into the boat of Liang's village,' and the Jin from 'Spring wind moistens the brocade scroll.'"

Mu Xi: "…" The introduction his sister had pieced together, used to this point already, yet he said it so naturally!

Mu Xin's mind, within a few seconds, recalled the full verses of those two poems, and even the poem's tonal pattern and rhythm rose clearly: "…"

What the heck?

He could even piece those together?

The other brothers indicated they were used to it.

Qing An quickly replied in Chinese, "Hello, I am Qing An, a person from M Guo—Qing from Qing An, An from Qing An."

He has been speaking Mu Xin's native language here all along, after all, he has been proficient in various languages since childhood.

Only when the introduction reached Mu Xin did Jiang Liangjin's gaze fall upon Mu Xin's face, which was almost identical to Mu Youyu's.

He instinctively straightened his posture, his earlier nonchalance completely gone, his tone noticeably more solemn: "Greetings, Elder Brother Xin."

This also counts as the first time, since Mu Xin went abroad at age three, that he has actually seen this legendary brother in person.

Only now, seeing him in person, did he discover that Mu Xin's eyes were a deep ice-blue.

Indeed, aside from eye color, he and Youbao shared identical facial features!

Mu Youyu had told Mu Xin about Jiang Liangjin, and she had even heard his voice over the phone.

But Mu Xin was likewise seeing him in person for the first time since he was three.

Mu Xin gave him a once‑over, his tone indifferent: "I seem to be a few months younger than you."

In other words, calling him 'elder brother' was a bit premature.

Jiang Liangjin's expression unchanged, he acquiesced: "All right, Elder Brother Xin."

Seeing his childhood friend Mu Xin act as if he couldn't be bothered to argue, Qing An couldn't help but turn his face away, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Mu Xi and Lu Yuchu: "You're something."

Song Yusui and Song Huaixian couldn't help but give him a thumbs‑up: "Truly proper."

Seeing the atmosphere turn delicate, Song Yusui hurried forward to smooth things over, "Hey, our Ah Xin's seniority counts as well—being able to let the son of Z Country's richest man, the head of the top financial conglomerate, and the sole heir of the Jiang Family call you elder brother~"

Mu Xin: "…" All right.

Mu Youyu actually felt this title was quite normal, since she sometimes called Mu Xin "Xin Xin elder brother."

The banquet ended, and the nobles departed.

Song Yusui took a call and hurried off to handle company affairs.

Lu Yuchu said he was tired, had an announcement tomorrow, and went home to rest.

Song Huaixian and Qing An returned together to M Guo.

Mu Xin went to the academy.

Mu Xianyan didn't know where she had run off to; Mu Youyu, while she was on stage, saw her downstairs playing the violin, after which she disappeared.

But she didn't think much of it.

She greeted Jiang Liangjin and Mu Xi, then went to her grandfather's place.

After all, she still needed to see the king and queen, and her grandfather was there as well.

Mu Xi glanced at Jiang Liangjin, his voice normal: "How long can you stay here?"

Jiang Liangjin calculated and replied: "About a week."

Mu Xi said sarcastically: "Oh, really long."

Jiang Liangjin, seemingly not catching his teasing, answered obediently: "Not bad? After all, Brother Xi hasn't been accompanying Youbao for long."

Mu Xi was left speechless by that remark, looking at the smile in the boy's eyes, he finally let out a light snort: "Silver-tongued."
