On his hundredth year as a mission-taker, Li Jinhuan accidentally turned into a child during a mission.
So he happily took a vacation and returned to the world he originally came from.
But nine years had passed in that world. He had no household registration and owned nothing.
After spending one second debating between finding a job and begging for food, Li Jinhuan decided to move in with the younger brothers he'd known from the orphanage and lie flat for the rest of his life.
He finally managed to find them, only to be shocked to discover that all of them had become big shots.
The arrogant younger brother he'd always teased into a tantrum was now the strongest fighter in the Anomaly Investigation Bureau. He acted like he owned the world and refused to bow to anyone.
The dull, robotic younger brother had become the research institute's chief scientist. Cool and aloof, he could barely squeeze out a single word all day.
The gentle younger brother who'd always been so mature now wielded absolute power in the council. He was refined and elegant, but smiled like a fox.
Boys really do change a lot as they grow up.
Looks like my meal ticket is secure!
Under the three men's probing gazes, Li Jinhuan put on a cute face and acted adorable. "When my dad was alive, he said you three were his best friends. Could you take care of me?"
Things went smoothly, and the three of them took in the son of their old friend.
From then on, Li Jinhuan lived a pampered life, with clothes laid out for him and meals served at the table.
One day, he'd have one younger brother read him a bedtime story; the next, another would accompany him down the slide. He shamelessly called them Uncle whenever he wanted to act cute.
His old friends also often came to visit with snacks after hearing he'd returned. Life was so comfortable that he didn't want to grow back up at all.
The only trouble was that the three of them kept asking who his father had been in love with.
Li Jinhuan could only keep making up rumors about himself to get out of answering.
Including, but not limited to, Dad getting drunk back then, Mom not being quite human and possibly an anomaly, and both parents dying when he was young, leaving him to wander the streets...
Unfortunately, his disguise eventually slipped.
The three men surrounded him, their gazes dangerous and burning with desire.
Li Jinhuan shrank his neck, feeling guilty but putting up a brave front. "I only tricked you into giving me some food and drinks. Is that really such a big deal?"
The three of them stared at him in silence for a long time.
In the unsettling quiet, someone laughed, their voice dark and low. "Big brother..."
Li Jinhuan was pinned against someone's chest, unable to struggle free.
Could you show your big brother a little respect?!
Don't forget who painstakingly took care of you three little brats back then!
# No wonder he looks like an old friend. The old friend never died.
