Xu Yizhou: "..."

The few remaining brain cells finally began to slowly awaken.

It seems he misunderstood?

Does Cheng-ge not have a girlfriend at all?

Xu Yizhou felt a chill seep into his skin from behind, making his body stiffen even more, and he stood up straight.

A second later, he turned around, knelt down, hugged Xie Jingcheng's leg, and repented.

"Brother Cheng, I was wrong! I shouldn't have thought of you like that. Please forgive me, please be magnanimous!"

The entire movement is incredibly smooth, as if you've done it a thousand times.

Waaaaah—

Actually, the baby voice that came through at the time was indeed very immature, but under the overwhelming bombardment of information, the surge of adrenaline overwhelmed his reason, and he didn't have time to calmly discern the truth.

And! It's no wonder he's overthinking things, Cheng-ge doesn't have a sister! Waaaaah!

Xu Yizhou hugged his legs and cried bitterly.

Startled by his sudden action, Chaochao instinctively took two steps back.

The system nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Chaochao, stay away from him. Being stupid is contagious!"

Xie Jingcheng rubbed his forehead, his temples throbbing, and said in a deep voice, "Get up!"

Xu Yizhou immediately sprang to his feet, stood at attention, and swallowed back the tears that were about to fall, as if sucking up noodles.

System: ...Wow, that's quite the control!

Xie Jingcheng was speechless. After taking a deep breath, he pointed at him and said to Chaochao, "His name is Xu Yizhou, he's my classmate. Don't pay any attention to him."

The system strongly agreed with Xie Jingcheng's words.

Xu Yizhou's eyes widened. Were they just classmates?! And how could he talk like that? Kids should get to know talented young people like him!

Xie Jingcheng's cold gaze swept over him.

Xu Yizhou immediately backed down.

You're the boss, whatever you say goes!

When it was Chaochao's turn, Xie Jingcheng paused for a moment.

He didn't really want to introduce Chaochao to this idiot.

Xu Yizhou urged him with his eyes, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

But Chaochao spoke first. The little girl was still a bit shy, and looked at Xu Yizhou with her doe-like eyes: "Hello, Brother Yizhou, my name is Chaochao."

"Hey! Hello, Chaochao!" Xu Yizhou immediately responded enthusiastically, then whispered to Xie Jingcheng, "Is she really your sister?"

In fact, Xie Jingcheng couldn't explain his relationship with Xiao Tuanzi either.

"...the neighbor's daughter."

"Which neighbor is it that you care about so much?"

"The Huo family."

"Oh, so it's the Huo family... Damn! Whose family is it?!" Xu Yizhou was stunned, turning his head ninety degrees to look at Chaochao on the ground, "Such a soft and cute daughter?!"

It doesn't fit at all no matter how I imagine it.

The Xu family is also in business and is quite wealthy. Xu Yizhou is a second-generation rich kid, so he is naturally very familiar with industry benchmarks. Moreover, Huo Qin's reputation is so well-known that it would be difficult for him to pretend not to know him.

Leaving him standing there in a daze, Xie Jingcheng led Chaochao back to the soft stool and continued playing the cartoon that had just been paused.

Xie Jingcheng sat down in the gaming chair, ready to play games.

Xu Yizhou: Are you just leaving me here all alone?

So, under his persistent invitation (and relentless pestering), he successfully played video games with Cheng Ge.

Boys tend to get serious when it comes to games, which involve a competitive spirit.

Xie Jingcheng straightened his back a bit.

The battle on the curtain was fierce.

Chaochao was drawn over, her big eyes fixed on the flying figures, and she let out a sigh.

Wow, brother is so amazing!

Although she couldn't understand it, it seemed very impressive.

Xie Jingcheng's hand speed immediately increased even more.

"Holy crap, Cheng-ge, you're amazing!" Xu Yizhou exclaimed, feeling a bit envious, while also taking a moment to tempt Chaochao.

"Impressive, right, Chaochao? If you call me 'brother,' I'll teach you how to play."

Xie Jingcheng: "Get lost."

I think you're tired of living.

Then.

Xu Yizhou exclaimed in disbelief, "Damn it! Brother Cheng, how could you kill me! I was your teammate!"

Xie Jingcheng said coldly, "Would you believe me if I said it was a mistake?"

Xu Yizhou: ...Can he be trusted? He's not really stupid.

He slid to his knees with practiced ease: "Brother, I was wrong."

"Please don't be angry. I brought you a watermelon when I came. I'll cut it for you right away."

He arrived in such a hurry that he stopped at a fruit shop and bought a watermelon as a gift.

Fortunately, it came in handy.

When he cut it open, he found that the red center was filled with densely packed black seeds.

So you've come here to get revenge?

But he still gritted his teeth and cut a piece for Chaochao and Xie Jingcheng.

He chuckled and said, "Many seeds, many blessings."

Chaochao took the watermelon, took a bite, and spat out the seeds into the plate with a crackling sound. Then she gave Xu Yizhou a thumbs up, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling, "Sweet!"

Xu Yizhou chuckled, raised his head, and spat out a black seed that landed on his face with a "poof." "Look, Chaochao, I caught it!"

Xie Jingcheng: That's because you have a big face.

However, the innocent little girl was amused by it.

She held the watermelon and grinned, revealing shallow dimples on her cheeks, making her extremely cute.

Encouraged, Xu Yizhou was even more confident and continued his efforts, firing more than a dozen shots in a row.

Xie Jingcheng, standing to the side, watched the man with a face full of pockmarks swaying from side to side like a crab, coldly spit out a watermelon seed, and pondered in his heart.

Did he have these symptoms before, or did they just appear today?

Seeing Chaochao smiling happily, the system's anger towards Xu Yizhou subsided considerably.

Whatever, being happy every day is the most important thing.
