Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Jiang Beini felt more and more convinced it was so.

If Tang Yue knew what Jiang Beini was thinking deep down, she'd probably think she had lost her mind. Mo Siyu had hurt his leg, and if he had to carry her upstairs, she'd feel sorry for him. It was perfect that Xiao Jun and the others were visiting for the first time, so she could let Mo Siyu take care of settling the three of them.

Tang Yue and Li Wei went upstairs, arriving at the fifth floor, where they ran into many families. Li Wei introduced her just like he had done with Jiang Beini earlier with such pride that those who didn't know might have thought she was Li Wei's partner.

Thus, in just a short distance, the news that Brother Mo's partner was there, and not only was she not ugly but also as beautiful as a little fairy spread like wildfire through the entire building.

Being praised as beautiful as a little fairy was indeed high praise.

As soon as Tang Yue entered the room, before she even had a chance to look at Mo Siyu's room, she had just put down her things when there was a knock at the door.

"So you're Brother Mo's partner? You really are handsome. They weren't wrong; you look just like a little fairy," Jiang Lan said to Tang Yue, unable to hide her amazed gaze.

"Uh..." Tang Yue blushed, feeling pleased being praised as a little fairy.

She smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. You're very pretty too."

Tang Yue's eyes rested on Jiang Lan's face; her eyes were very pure, the kind that had not been tempered by society.

"My name is Jiang Lan, I live just downstairs." Jiang Lan introduced herself with a smile. She was just twenty years old and the youngest in the residential compound.

"You can come to my house whenever you have time," Jiang Lan invited warmly.

"Sure," Tang Yue responded, not ready to say much else when more people gathered at the door, some a bit older than Jiang Lan, and others in their thirties or forties. Everyone introduced themselves, and not recognizing anyone, Tang Yue could only awkwardly smile.

Finally, when they all left, her face was stiff from smiling. Even with a good memory, she couldn't quite remember who was who.

She closed the door and finally had time to take a look at Mo Siyu's room: one bedroom, one bathroom, and a small balcony. There were neat tofu-block-folded quilts on the iron bed, and beside it, a desk with neatly arranged books.

In the corner against the wall stood a wardrobe. She thought about it and decided to open it and take a look. Inside, everything was organized very neatly as well.

The clothes were folded and did not seem like they belonged to a man.

Tang Yue took out her belongings. She hadn't rested much last night, and now she too felt very tired. After a bath and changing clothes, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

She had thought she might have trouble sleeping in a new place and feel uncomfortable, but the fresh scent on the bed made her feel at ease.

Tang Jun and the two others followed Mo Siyu to stay in the large dormitory, where several beds were conveniently vacant. He would stay here for the next few days since his leg was not yet healed, which would make going up to the fifth floor quite troublesome.

"Have we arrived at the motor pool?" Zhang Qiang said excitedly.

"That's right, there are so many trucks and cargo vehicles of all sorts here," Jiajie asked, "Qiangzi, do you think we can go touch the vehicles tomorrow?"

There isn't a man who doesn't like cars.

As they had an enthusiastic discussion, only Tang Jun fell silent. Taking the opportunity to get some fresh air outside, he stood on the sports ground with Mo Siyu and asked, "Uncle Mo, are you and my sister dating? When did this start?"

This question had been lingering in Tang Jun's heart. He had always wanted to ask, but never had the chance. Tang Yue lived alone in another place, and Tang Jun had no opportunity to ask her, leaving him no choice but to confront Mo Siyu.

"Yes, from now on, you should start calling me brother-in-law." Mo Siyu nodded affirmatively, finding even the brief time they had spent together satisfying.

"Cut it out, you're not even married or engaged, it's not certain yet." Tang Jun pursed his lips and said, "That... Li Wei, can he stop calling my sister 'little sister-in-law'? It could ruin my sister's reputation."

"Xiao Yue is my girlfriend, and him calling her 'little sister-in-law' in advance is not wrong," replied Mo Siyu, noticing Tang Jun's expression growing dark. Mo Siyu then changed the topic, "Si Yu, do you want to learn to drive? Do you want to train your physical skills? We have a specialized training ground here just for that purpose."

Tang Jun's eyes brightened, but then dimmed again. His lips tightened into a straight line as he said, "Don't think you can win me over like this. Becoming my brother-in-law won't be that easy."

"Uncle Mo knows about this too, right?" Tang Jun said hotly. It was strange, he thought, that Mo Siyu had injured his leg and yet his sister insisted on coming to Jing City, keeping it a secret from their parents.

"Xiao Jun, apart from me, who else do you think is worthy of your sister?" Mo Siyu countered.

Tang Jun was taken aback and thought for a moment. His gaze landed on Mo Siyu—naturally a standout among men, personable and praised even by Uncle Mo, surely a good person, and having saved his sister before. As for family background, the Mo Family was pretty good. Not everyone knew, but he had a close relationship with Mo Weidong, and Weidong had always said his aunt had a truly good personality.

After a long pause, he finally asked, "Will your leg really never get better?"

This time, it was Mo Siyu's turn to fall silent. He said, "Xiao Jun, I don't want to lie to you. I like your sister and want to marry her. I just wanted your sister to come to Jing City to see her."

"So that's it." Tang Jun was so angry that he wanted to fight Mo Siyu, but looking at his leg, he held back. Upon second thought, if his leg got better, there would be nothing left to disapprove of. Such a man was definitely worthy of his sister.

"Can you treat my sister well for the rest of your life?"

Tang Jun seemed like a little adult, with a youthful face yet an extraordinarily serious demeanor.

Mo Siyu, with a solemn visage, responded, "Xiao Jun, I will treat Xiao Yue well for my entire life. I will marry no one but her."

His resounding words struck Tang Jun's heart with force. Although Mo Siyu's phrasing might not have been the prettiest, his serious and solemn expression deeply moved Tang Jun.

"Xiao Jun, there are many benefits to having me as your brother-in-law. Every summer vacation, you can come to the racing team, learn to drive, and train your body. See those cars parked outside? If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Mo Siyu's words were tempting, and he added, "Xiao Jun, don't you think Li Wei took you down too easily today? After you've trained, if you encounter such a situation again, you'll be able to fight back."

"Really?" Tang Jun mused, finding it hard to believe.

Today, Li Wei was so fast that Tang Jun had no time to react before being thrown over the shoulder.

"Would I lie to you?" Mo Siyu beckoned him over.
