Chapter 23 Brotherly War
At this time, in the laboratory.
Fu Xingyan's psychic ability covered the entire research institute. From the moment Fu Xingchen hurriedly ran into the institute's gate, he was already exposed to his domain.
He withdrew his hand from Shao Leyan's heart, wrote down the heartbeat number in the notebook, and spoke naturally.
"My brother is here. I'll go open the door for him."
Shao Leyan was stunned, the blood in his body instantly flowed backwards, and he was shaking with nervousness.
"Give me the clothes first
Me."
Fu Xingyan held down Shao Leyan's legs as he tried to get out of bed, and soothed him softly, "It's okay, it's just an experiment. I'm not a petty person."
Shao Leyan looked at Fu Xingyan's calm expression which revealed a hint of complacency, and felt that something was not right.
But they are brothers, they understand each other better than an outsider like her.
"Okay, go ahead."
Fu Xingyan chuckled and touched Shao Leyan's head. He waited until the knocking on the door became louder and louder, as if the door would be chopped into ashes if he didn't open it. Only then did he calmly go to open the door.
When Fu Xingchen saw Fu Xingyan dressed neatly, he breathed a sigh of relief and his frown relaxed.
"Xingchen, it's been almost an hour. The experiment should be over, right?"
Fu Xingyan shook his head with feigned regret. "Brother, this is my first time conducting systematic research experiments on people with special abilities. These past few days, whenever I start working, I'll be working fourteen or fifteen hours straight without stopping. If you want to pick up Le Yan, come back in the evening."
Fu Xingchen's face instantly turned gloomy.
Fourteen or fifteen hours?
Doesn’t that mean Yanyan also has to work that long every day?
Fu Xingchen's eyes were red, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, and the skin at the joints was stretched to a pale white.
"Do you treat Yanyan like a robot? Fourteen or fifteen hours? No wonder I felt she was in poor condition and weak. It turns out it's because of your ruthless exploitation."
Fu Xingyan had never seen his brother so angry.
He is a typical superior who never shows his emotions. He is mature, steady, rational and self-controlled. This character develops in an extreme direction after awakening his lightning power.
No one dared to get close to him, and he didn't have much contact with others. He was like a cold machine, working endlessly all day long to keep the dungeon running.
Day after day, year after year.
Until that day, he and Shao Leyan returned to the city hand in hand, and the stars in his brother's eyes were something he had never seen before.
From that day on, his brother's deep, calm eyes only showed a genuine smile when facing Shao Leyan, and the love and doting in his eyes were so full that they were about to overflow.
Obviously, the two people have the same face, but the brother's eyes are gentle and affectionate, but what about him?
He seemed to have been sinking in a dirty quagmire. Even though he followed his brother's example and had a crush on Mu Jiaojiao, the girl as bright as the sun always looked at his brother alone and never gave him any of her extra warmth and light.
He has never seen what light and hope are!
Until I met Shao Leyan.
Her character is extremely rare in the end times, as soft yet tough as a reed.
Although he has experienced life and death several times, there is no fierce and bloody aura. His innocence and purity contain a kind of compassion and sadness of unknown origin, which makes people feel pity and distress.
Whenever he touched her warm and soft body, with his nose filled with the intoxicating fragrance, Fu Xingyan's sanity would be put to a cruel test.
Even though he was the one with the strongest psychic powers, when he saw his brother and Shao Leyan fighting to the death, he was almost overwhelmed by jealousy and sorrow.
He was the one who met her first!
Fu Xingyan's heart was filled with gloom. He faced Fu Xingchen's scrutiny with an open mind, raised his chin nonchalantly, and chuckled proudly like a winner.
"But Le Yan agreed."
This is a naked provocation!
Fu Xingchen narrowed his eyes unhappily, looking at Fu Xingyan's face that looked exactly like his own, and a sense of sadness arose in his heart.
"I can only accept one hour. If you don't agree, Yanyan will no longer participate in your experiment."
"Brother," Fu Xingyan sneered, "Aren't you busy?"
The coldness between Fu Xingchen's brows remained unchanged. "This does not conflict with taking care of Yanyan."
Fu Xingyan smiled even more proudly.
"You have a lot of things to do, and taking care of Yanyan is just one of them. But I'm different. She is my entire job. I can spend 24 hours a day around her. Can you do that?"
The atmosphere between the two was visibly tense. If they were not brothers who grew up together, they would have probably started fighting because they were worried that the occasion was not appropriate.
Shao Leyan had been hiding in the operating room and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, but the more she listened, the more she felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and the topic seemed to be heading in an absurd and wrong direction.
She couldn't bear to see Fu Xingchen interfering too much in her decision, nor could she bear to see Fu Xingyan provoking Fu Xingchen.
She had seen with her own eyes how busy Fu Xingchen was as the city lord. From the moment he opened his eyes, his entire day's schedule was planned to the second.
He alone is responsible for the lives and property of thousands of superpowered people and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the dungeon. How could Fu Xingyan deliberately provoke his brother like this?
However, Fu Xingyan's job as the director of the institute is also very hard. Not only does he have to spend most of his time and energy on her supernatural power research, but he also has to take into account the situation and progress of other laboratories.
In short, she wanted to rush out and shout: Stop arguing!
Just as Fu Xingchen was burning with rage and was about to push away Fu Xingyan who was blocking his way, Shao Leyan seized the opportunity and rushed out of the operating room with his head down.
She pushed the two bodies that were suddenly approaching each other, closing the distance between them, with a soothing smile on her face.
"Don't quarrel, just talk it over nicely."
The moment Fu Xingchen saw Shao Leyan, his solemn expression eased. He took her hand and wanted to pull her out.
Fu Xingyan was not to be outdone. When Shao Leyan was dragged to take two quick steps, he grabbed her other hand.
Both sides used great strength, but Shao Leyan couldn't break free either way.
Fu Xingchen found that he couldn't pull the person away, so he turned around and saw Fu Xingyan and Shao Leyan holding hands intimately. Even though he had always been a brother and tolerated his younger brother, he had reached his limit at this moment.
An invisible electric current sparked a spark that ignited the moment the two men looked at each other.
Fu Xingchen's face tightened, a blazing fire burned in his deep eyes, and he pushed Fu Xingyan hard.
Fu Xingyan only staggered slightly, and with the help of Shao Leyan pulling him, he quickly stabilized his body.
When Shao Leyan saw Fu Xingchen's angry face and helped Fu Xingchen steady, she was so scared that she didn't care about anything else and suddenly threw herself into Fu Xingchen's arms and acted submissively and coquettishly.
"Okay, Xingchen, I'll go back with you."
Fu Xingchen's expression eased slightly, and he hugged Shao Leyan tightly back, but his hawk-like eyes stared straight at Fu Xingyan, full of warning and vigilance.
"Then let's go!"
