He saw Ning Qing walking towards him step by step.

Despite his physical discomfort, Xiao Xiyan immediately sat up in bed.

As he moved, the blanket that had been covering him slipped off.

He then revealed his muscular upper body.

Ning Qing looked at the dense marks on his body and smiled with great satisfaction.

Xiao Xiyan followed Ning Qing's gaze and looked down.

But when his gaze fell on himself, his body stiffened for a moment.

Then she slowly raised her head and looked at Ning Qing, who was already standing by the bed.

"this……".

What on earth is going on? It looks so much like...???!!

Ning Qing looked into his incredulous eyes, which were full of suspicion and uncertainty!

A fleeting smile crossed his eyes.

"What's wrong?".

Xiao Xiyan glanced up at Ning Qing, then quickly lowered his head, draped a thin blanket over himself, and covered the marks on his body.

"Nothing...nothing happened."

Ning Qing nodded and spoke softly.

"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll get up and wash up."

Xiao Xiyan's mind was completely focused on Ning Qing's sudden appearance and the marks on her body.

Although he had some vague guesses in his mind, he just didn't want to think about it that way!

After all, the person in front of me...

I stood up with a jumble of thoughts, but my legs were too weak and I almost fell over.

Fortunately, Ning Qing, who was standing next to him, reached out and pulled him into her arms in time.

"Are you alright?"

Xiao Xiyan shook his head, feigning composure, and pushed Ning Qing away as he spoke.

"I am fine".

Ning Qing was very reluctant to let go, but... the person in front of her was the gentle Dr. Xiao.

We had no choice but to let him be for the time being.

Xiao Xiyan strode towards the washroom.

Feeling the heaviness of lifting my legs, I went into the bathroom, closed the door, walked to the mirror, and expressionlessly pulled off the thin blanket covering me.

When you see yourself in the mirror, your body is covered in marks.

Xiao Xiyan became increasingly certain of his guess.

Are they...are they dating?

This guess stirred a pang of sadness in his heart.

Am I... too late?

The thought of my younger brother dating the person I like makes me feel terrible.

Does this mean I'll have to watch them together every day from now on, all lovey-dovey and affectionate?

And these marks on his body!!

It was so blinding!

That must have been incredibly intense last night!!

That's why his body was covered in dense marks!

A helpless yet heartbreaking smile appeared on Xiao Xiyan's lips.

One is her younger brother, and the other is someone she once had feelings for.

I should wish them well if they get together!

But why does my heart feel so heavy?

Ning Qing stood at the door of the washroom, her brows slightly furrowed.

My wife has been inside for half an hour now, and we haven't heard any noise from inside.

Ning Qing pondered the feasibility of kicking down the door and going in.

System: Host, I can actually help you see what the protected target is doing inside.

Ning Qing's face immediately turned cold: Cat, you've gotten too bold, daring to have such thoughts.

The system hurriedly shook its head and explained: No, no, host, I absolutely had no intention of spying on the protected target!

I just...

Ning Qing grabbed the system, casually tossed it, and it crashed against the wall before falling to the ground.

The system cat immediately stood up from the ground: Host, host, I'll go do the mission right away.

With that, he dashed out.

The host is absolutely terrifying!! It's best to go out and avoid the area!
