Chapter 96 - Family Adventure: The Return of the Crossdresser

On a quiet afternoon in the Xia Family Manor, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and dapples on the bluestone path of the manor. Xia Zhuozhuo stands in front of the window, holding the mobile phone tightly in her hand, with a gleam of anticipation in her eyes. She just finished a phone call with her brother Xia Huaijin at home, and learned that they were on their way home, and she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable excitement in her heart. The Xia family, a family full of mystery and glory, has six sons with their own characteristics, like six bright stars, each shining in their own fields. And Xia Zhuozhuo, as the real daughter of the Xia family, was taken away by mistake when she was young and only returned to the family recently. She has met four brothers, and each of them has a completely different personality, which makes her full of infinite reverie about the third brother she has never met. "What kind of person will the third brother be?" Xia Zhuozhuo murmured to herself, full of curiosity. She imagined that the third brother might be a gentle gentleman, or perhaps a vigorous and resolute business elite. However, she never expected that the true identity of her third brother would be a surprising "cross-dressing man". After the call, Xia Zhuozhuo's thoughts were like a wild horse running wild. She suddenly remembered her third brother's name - Xia Huaile. This name and the name of her fourth brother Xia Huaian, who was helping doctors in Africa, just formed the word "Anle". Is there any deep meaning behind this? She couldn't help but ask Xia Huaijin this question. Upon hearing this, Xia Huaijin raised a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he was recalling some beautiful past events. "They have been the living treasures of the family since they were young. Because they are beautiful, they always attract countless eyes when they go out. When we went out to play together when we were young, they always had the highest rate of turning back." At this point, Xia Huaijin's eyes were full of nostalgia and warmth. Xia Zhuozhuo listened with relish, as if he had traveled back to that childhood full of laughter and joy. She couldn't help asking, "We have twins in our family? Why haven't I heard of them?" Xia Huaijin shook her head and said with a smile, "They are not twins, but they look very similar and like to wear beautiful clothes, so they are often mistaken for twins. But, then again, our family does have the gene for twins. There are twin sisters on your grandmother's side. But in our generation, there are only you and Huaijin." At this point, Xia Huaijin suddenly changed the subject and said jokingly, "By the way, Zhuozhuo, if you have a child in the future, it might be a little pink ball." Xia Zhuozhuo blushed slightly when she heard this, and said angrily, "I don't want to have so many children. People nowadays value freedom and independence, and I don't want to be bound by children." Xia Huaijin didn't care, and smiled, "Children are so lively, just like our family. But then again, Zhuozhuo, where did you learn these skills? Every time I see you show off your talents like magic, I find it incredible." Xia Zhuozhuo smiled slightly, and a hint of mystery flashed in his eyes. "Parallel universe, do you believe it?" Xia Huaijin was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. "Zhuozhuo, have you read too many science fiction novels? But then again, it would be so cool if you could really learn skills from parallel universes." However, Xia Zhuozhuo was not joking. She did learn these skills from parallel universes. At the age of fourteen, she escaped from the village that bound her and worked hard alone. On that cold snowy night, she almost froze to death on the street. It was a mysterious existence called "system" that pulled her into parallel universes. In those universes, she experienced countless challenges and hardships and learned all kinds of skills. In the end, after completing a hundred tasks and traveling through a hundred parallel universes, she returned to this world and used the skills she learned to create the Anbu. She never revealed these secrets to anyone. Because she knew that no one would believe these words. So, she could only choose to remain silent and bury these secrets deep in her heart. The car slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Xia Family Manor. Xia Zhuozhuo and Xia Huaijin got out of the car together and walked into the manor full of history and glory. As soon as they walked into the living room, they saw Ning Suixiang holding the hand of a blonde beauty and talking intimately. Could this blonde beauty be the girlfriend of the third brother? Xia Zhuozhuo secretly guessed in her heart. However, when she looked carefully at the living room, she found that the figure of the third brother was not there. Only the eldest brother Xia Huaizheng and the second brother Xia Huaicheng looked at the blonde beauty helplessly. "Zhuozhuo, you are back!" Ning Suixiang saw Xia Zhuozhuo first and waved to her with a smile. Xia Zhuozhuo smiled and nodded, and walked over with Xia Huaijin. "Mom, this is..." she asked curiously. Ning Suixiang glanced at the blonde beauty beside her and smiled helplessly. "This is your third brother." "Third brother?" Xia Zhuozhuo couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard it. She never expected that this blonde beauty was actually the third brother she had been thinking about day and night! "Hey!" The blonde beauty responded enthusiastically, but the voice was male. Xia Zhuozhuo realized that the "beauty" in front of her was actually a man dressed in men's clothing! Seeing this, the third brother Xia Huaile was too embarrassed to make trouble. He quickly pulled off the wig on his head, stood up and explained: "Seventh sister, don't get me wrong. I'm not that kind of weird person. I just came back from the crew and haven't had time to remove my makeup yet." Xia Zhuozhuo suddenly realized. It turned out that men dressed as women were not Xia Huaile's special hobby, but a job requirement. She could see that although Xia Huaile smiled easily on the surface, there was deep depression and helplessness hidden in his eyes. Forcing a male actor to play a female role is definitely not something a normal agent can do. There must be an unknown secret behind it. Xia Zhuo didn't know, and smiled and stretched out his hand to Xia Huaile. "Welcome home, third brother." Xia Huaile wiped his hands and then held Xia Zhuozhuo's hand. "I should be the one saying this to you. Welcome home, Xiaoqi." After he finished speaking, he pulled his hand back and took out a stack of autographed photos from his backpack. "I know you don't chase stars, but I got these autographed photos from those big stars myself. You can give them to your friends." Xia Zhuozhuo took the autographed photos, which were heavy, as if they carried Xia Huaile's love and expectations for her. Although she never chased stars, these autographed photos were extremely precious to her. Because they not only represent Xia Huaile's efforts and dedication, but also symbolize the deep friendship between them. At dinner time, the whole family sat together, laughing and talking. Xia Zhuozhuo looked at her relatives in front of her, her heart full of warmth and gratitude. She knew that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, as long as her family was by her side, she would have the most solid backing. And the return of Xia Huaile, the "cross-dressing boss", added a touch of mystery and unique color to this family. She was looking forward to writing their own legendary story together with her family... She had already planned a plan to help Xia Huaile. The difficult problems in the eyes of others were just a piece of cake for her. Within three days, she would solve them.
