It was no wonder that their uncle would always keep this pendant with him.

His uncle must be missing his grandma a lot, right?

Little Yichen glanced at his uncle and mother’s picture.

Looking at the incomparably bashful Gong Jie snuggling up to Yun Shishi, he suddenly remarked in disdain, “I’ve never thought that uncle was also a kiddo when he was young, so short and small! It’s hard to imagine what uncle ate while growing up to be this big now.”

“I also wanna know. It feels like he’s shorter than me when he was our age!” commented Youyou bitterly.

“Now, uncle is almost as tall as daddy! Daddy is 189cm tall,” said his older brother.

Their uncle heard their conversation and opened his eyes. He took off his sunglasses and glared at them unhappily. “Who said I was a kiddo? I’ve always been tall since I was young. Some boys weren’t as tall as I was even though they were a few years older.”

He raised the pendant defiantly in front of his uncle and pointed at the kiddo snuggling to his sister in the picture. “Even if you were tall, you weren’t taller than mommy!”

Gong Jie glanced at the photo he was pointing at before his face flushed in an instant. He coughed awkwardly, suddenly becoming shy!

Youyou was dumbfounded by his reaction. “Uncle, why are you being all shy for no reason?!”

Little Yichen took a stab at the man, too. “It’s because he was smacked in the face with his lie! He claimed to be tall, but he’s obviously shorter than mommy in the picture!”

“The short one there isn’t me,” muttered the man.

“Ha?” responded his younger nephew.

The older one widened his eyes in shock and caused a din. “If that’s not you, then who is it? Could that be my mommy?”

Gong Jie had a strange look on his face as he turned his face away submissively. He helplessly hummed in acknowledgment. “The one with short hair is your mommy…”

Hearing this, the twins’ mouths widened to an ‘O’ as looks of disbelief appeared on their faces.

“Then…” said Youyou dumbly.

“The one with pigtails is you?!” Little Yichen finished his brother’s question, clearly in disbelief.

The man closed his eyes and admitted unwillingly, “Yes! That’s… That’s me!”

“!”

Youyou lay beside his uncle and imagined it out of curiosity.

In his head, Little Gong Jie secretly found a skirt from his sister’s cupboard and wore it while checking himself out in the mirror. He then climbed onto his mother’s vanity table and clumsily put on lipstick, smearing it on his mouth recklessly.

Youyou had goosebumps in an instant.

Pervert!

No wonder.

It was no wonder he was not interested in women.

He was rendered speechless. “So you, uncle, have transvestism since young!”

Little Yichen took another stab at his uncle. “Pervert!”

Gong Jie commented innocently, “Hmph! How’s that possible?! I’ve never liked wearing skirts, but at that time, I didn’t have a choice.”

…

In the photo, the one with the pigtails and smiling brightly was actually Gong Jie.

This photo was taken when they were seven years old. At that time, Mu Qingcheng always dressed him up as a girl.

This was not some coarse interest, though.

Speaking of this again brought back a series of bitter yet happy memories.

At that time, a pregnant Mu Qingcheng had left the Mu family without much cash on her.

She first escaped to a town near the capital before finding a job at a hair salon, scraping by with a meager living as she worked.
