Chapter 37: He Feels the Whole Family is a Bit Unusual

Bai Tian flicked the water off his hands after washing the dishes and wiped them on his clothes. He watched Jiang Dai practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard, puzzled.

This… it did resemble Tai Chi somewhat. But he wasn’t sure, as he had never learned it, only seen elderly folks practicing it in the park. Those seniors wore professional Tai Chi outfits, otherwise Bai Tian wouldn’t have known it was Tai Chi.

Bai Yunxing, who was sweeping the ground, watched his mother practicing. He felt that his mother’s origins must be extraordinary. This kind of martial art seemed simple but was a perfect blend of hardness and softness, embodying the principle of using softness to overcome strength. He had no idea what kind of martial art it was.

“Mother, can I practice with you?” Bai Yunxing, the second son, suddenly appeared and asked.

Jiang Dai wouldn’t refuse, “Sure, come on!”

So, Bai Yunxing followed along, imitating his mother’s movements and started practicing Tai Chi.

【I guessed right. This kind of martial art is best for health preservation. Even in a weakened state, it can stretch the muscles and strengthen the body, suitable for all ages.】

【But this is one way to practice it. If you use the right technique, with a strong enough physique and skilled combat techniques, this martial art could become a series of deadly moves!】

【This martial art is incredibly strong!】

Juanjuan listened to her Second Brother’s inner thoughts and practiced even more earnestly. She hadn’t expected this martial art to be so powerful.

“Jiang Dai,” Bai Tian spoke up.

“Yes?” Jiang Dai responded, “Do you want to practice too? Come on.”

Bai Tian joined in, learning as he asked, “What kind of martial art is this?”

In an instant, everyone in the courtyard, except for Juanjuan, perked up their ears, waiting for Jiang Dai’s answer.

“This is a martial art from my hometown, called Tai Chi.”

At that moment, Bai Tian’s heart suddenly raced. He looked at the graceful figure in front of him, and only one thought echoed in his mind: It’s Tai Chi!

But before Bai Tian could ask what he wanted to, Jiang Dai continued, “This is a Family Inheritance. No one else knows it. I started practicing martial arts at the age of three, and now passing it on to you is a form of inheritance.”

Bai Tian was taken aback, “Then, Dai Dai, do you remember where you’re from? Is this Tai Chi a family heirloom?”

Jiang Dai nodded, “I don’t remember. My memories are still a bit jumbled, but this is definitely a family heirloom.”

“Don’t be fooled by how leisurely it looks now, not at all powerful. This is for the elderly and children, for health and fitness. The real deadly moves… you’ll learn those later.”

Bai Tian chuckled at himself internally. 【Bai Tian, what are you thinking! Tai Chi isn’t from the Modern Era; it was passed down from ancient times. So what if there’s Tai Chi in ancient times?】

【From this, it seems Jiang Dai’s background is either rich or noble. From the Original Host’s memories, Jiang Dai has gold, so it’s not hard to guess that her identity is unusual, and now it’s confirmed.】

【I don’t know how the Original Host got so lucky to meet Jiang Dai, and moreover…】

Jiang Dai had no idea what Bai Tian was thinking. She had no clue about the Original Host’s identity and didn’t realize that her mixed answers would lead Bai Tian to overthink.

Bai Tian: “Jiang Dai…”

Jiang Dai: “Hmm?”

“When you fully recover your memory, will you leave?”

Jiang Dai: ?

This question left her a bit stunned. But to avoid revealing that she was no longer the Original Host, Jiang Dai chose to give an ambiguous answer.

“I don’t know yet! But I probably can’t go back. The home in my memory seems to be very far from here.”

Jiang Dai: 【I didn’t lie. The Modern Era is indeed far from here!】

Bai Tian: 【It seems Jiang Dai’s origins are extraordinary, likely an heir of some hidden family. I’m really overthinking it, it’s just Tai Chi.】

Juanjuan, overhearing her parents’ thoughts: Why does it feel like something’s not quite right?

But being too young and unfamiliar with what her parents were talking about, she couldn’t quite grasp it immediately.

“No way!”

Facing Jiang Dai’s ambiguous answer, Bai Tian said seriously, “If you recover your memory, you should go back! You shouldn’t suffer with me!”

Jiang Dai: ? 【Why is he suddenly getting so worked up?】

Bai Tian: “You’ve ended up here, which is already suffering. If there’s a chance, I will definitely help you find your home!”

Saying this, he even showed a heroic spirit, as if ready to sacrifice himself for a good brother.

Jiang Dai was bewildered by this sudden burst of drama.

“…Alright?”

Beside them, Bai Yunqi tilted his head slightly and asked his second brother, “What are Mom and Dad doing?”

Bai Yunxing, quick-witted, speculated, “Mother’s origins aren’t simple. With this kind of martial art, once she regains her memory, she might not want us anymore.”

Bai Yunan glanced at his two brothers and silently sneered in his heart.

【I always feel like there’s something… a little off about our parents now, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.】

【And it seems like the whole family is a bit unusual. Father isn’t the same as before, Mother is starting to regain her memory, Eldest Brother has been incredibly lucky lately, but there’s a hint of something off about it. Second Brother has become more mature and sensible, but the most abnormal one is…】

Juanjuan, who was listening to Third Brother’s inner thoughts, noticed his gaze fall on her, causing her heart to tense slightly.

【Juanjuan, this child! Why is she so hard to win over, ahhhhh!】
