Chapter 17: Big brother treats him as a child? I am worried that the vicious cannon fodder will not...

Chi Jue put the peeled shrimp into a clean bowl and exchanged it with the bowl in front of Ye Man.

Seeing Ye Man frozen in place, Chi Jue reminded him, "It's done."

Ye Man almost reached out for the shrimp in front of him, but thinking of the points he hadn't earned yet, Ye Man controlled his neck, making it stiff as if it was hit by a steel plate, and said in a deliberately annoying way: "I don't want to eat it again. Sorry, second brother."

He thought that since he bullied Chi Jue like this, his parents and elder brother would definitely not tolerate it and would scold him.

There is nothing we can do about it. It is obvious that the system is more important now.

After waiting for a long time, no one else spoke. Only Chi Jue said calmly, "Then drink some milk and eat an egg. It will replenish protein and heal faster."

Ye Man didn't answer. Chi Jue frowned and his tone suddenly became stern: "If there is nothing you want to eat, you can tell Aunt Zhou and ask her to make it for you. You can't be willful and skip breakfast. Even if your appetite is not good, you have to eat something. You are still recovering."

Ye Man was startled by his tone which was exactly the same as Chi Yan's, and his momentum weakened by more than one degree in an instant.

Chi Jue tried to take the bowl of shrimps in front of him, and Ye Man grabbed it instinctively.

Chi Jue turned his head to look at him, and saw the young man muttering awkwardly: "You peeled this for me."

Letting go, Ye Man held the bowl tightly in his hands, as if someone was trying to snatch it from him.

Chi Jue looked at the bowl of shrimps, then at the boy who said he didn't want to eat it but was actually protecting it very closely, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Under the gaze of the whole family, Ye Man stretched out the only hand that could move, carefully touched the edge of the bowl, found the position, then touched the bowl to take a shrimp from it and put it into his mouth.

With only one hand available, it was inconvenient to locate the bowl, so Ye Man simply grabbed the food with his hand and firmly rejected Chi Jue's suggestion to feed him.

The shrimps for breakfast are cooked in salt water without much sauce, so they are not very dirty.

Ye Man bit very hard.

I complained to the system in a muffled voice: "The protagonist is too cunning. He can endure my bad temper towards him. He is worthy of being the protagonist. He is really difficult to deal with."

Bad temper? He called it bad temper?

The system was silent for two seconds, then reminded: "Eat slowly."

The Chi family members stared at Ye Man's movements the whole time. Seeing that he could eat by himself, they looked at each other in silence and went back to eating their own food.

Qin Fangrui thought about the conversation she had with Zhou's mother last night.

In the past, she always avoided spending time with Ye Man, so it was rare for her to observe him so carefully.

Ye Man went from having a high-spirited look on her face, like a bloated balloon, to sitting quietly and obediently beside Chi Jue eating, all because of Chi Jue's "OK".

Mother Zhou said that Ye Man was easy to coax. For the first time, Qin Fangrui intuitively understood to what extent Ye Man could be easy to coax.

Chi Jue peeled half a bowl of shrimp and stopped. He then peeled eggs and put them in Ye Man's bowl. He also took a piece of bread. These were all foods that were easy to eat with the hands.

Although Ye Man didn't look very happy, he still obediently ate everything Chi Jue gave him.

After the meal, Chi Jue fed him some fruit, saying that it was for vitamin supplement.

After eating half of the orange, Ye Man shook his head and said, "I can't eat any more."

Chi Jue didn't force him to eat. After thinking for a while, he tentatively touched Ye Man's head and said, "Today was great."

Under the curious gazes of Chi's father and Qin Fangrui, Ye Man secretly rubbed Chi Jue's palm, thinking that no one had noticed.

Chi Jue, who was rubbed by the cat, withdrew his hand calmly. The touch just now was really wonderful. It stayed in his palm for a long time and made him feel swollen in his chest.

Looking up, he found that his elder brother was staring at him. Although Chi Yan still had a mature and calm expression, Chi Jue subtly sensed something else.

He raised his eyebrows proudly and smiled like a fox with a hint of provocation.

He moved his mouth and said silently: I'm sorry, brother, Xiaoman just likes to stick to me.

Who made the eldest brother too fierce? Xiaoman is young and simple-minded. Isn't it normal for him to like a gentle and easy-to-talk brother?

Si had no idea that he was only a few hours older than Ye Man, and that they were actually the same age.

Chi Yan sneered silently, unhappily loosened his tie, and stood up: "Xiao Man, come with me to the study."

Chi Jue felt his clothes were a bit heavy, and he lowered his head to find that it was Ye Man who was grabbing the corner of his clothes. He pulled his hand up and put it on his arm, letting him hold him, and with his other hand he held the cane for him, leading him to follow Chi Yan: "It's okay, don't be afraid, if Big Brother hurts you, just cry, I guarantee he won't dare to say anything to you again."

Ye Man felt that Chi Juejing gave him bad advice. Is Chi Yan the kind of person who would let others get away with it just because they cried a few times?

As they approached the door, Ye Man was still unsure and asked secretly, "Will this trick really work?"

“It works.”

"Have you used it?"

"I haven't used it before," Chi Jue smiled and pinched his face, "Whether this trick works on Big Brother depends on the person. It won't work on me, so you have to use it."

Ye Man was sent to the study room in a daze, not understanding why Chi Jue's medicine didn't work but he did.

After sending him to the study, Chi Jue left.

Ye Man was feeling nervous, but Chi Yan called him over and didn't say anything. She just asked him to take out his cell phone and practice calling him.

Chi Yan moved a chair and asked him to sit next to her. Chi Yan was typing away on the keyboard while he was busy poking at his phone. Chi Yan was on a video conference while he was still poking at his phone.

The more I poke, the more confused I become.

Chi Yan was in a meeting, but she still found time to answer the call when Ye Man called her, then wait for Ye Man to hang up and repeat the process.

It was not until Chi Yan finished a meeting that he looked sideways. This time, he not only answered the call from his brother who was sitting next to him, but also put the call to his ear.

“Next time you run into trouble, do you know what the first thing to do is?”

After being busy all morning without a break, Chi Yan's low voice, tinged with a hint of fatigue, came simultaneously from the receiver of the mobile phone and from the side of her body.

Ye Man nodded blankly.

Chi Yan: "What do you want to do?"

Ye Man: "Looking for...brother?"

Chi Yan: “Yeah.”

Chi Yan: "Open your mouth."

Ye Man opened her mouth and a candy ball fell into it, with the sweet citrus flavor spreading in her mouth.

Chi Yan: “Reward.”

A touch of warmth fell on my head and then disappeared quickly.

"Don't panic when something happens. Practice more often so that you won't forget it at the critical moment," Chi Yan tapped her computer. "No matter what I have to do, no matter how important it is, it doesn't prevent me from answering your call. Just call me. Don't worry about disturbing me, and don't consider the size of the matter that makes you embarrassed."

"Do you remember that?"

Ye Man touched his head and said, "Hmm..."

Ye Man returned to the room as if in a trance and threw himself into the bed, his ears exposed outside turning slightly red.

Does elder brother treat him as a child?

After a moment of shame and pretense, Ye Man turned over, lay on his back on the bed, and stared at the ceiling blankly.

The sweet taste seems to still linger in my mouth.

"Brother Tong..."

"What's wrong?"

Ye Man blinked and lowered his eyes to hide his complicated and turbulent emotions, but in the end he still suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth deep in his heart.

"The cannon fodder value can't drop any further, Brother Tong, when will the next key plot point be?"

The system always feels that at that moment, he seemed to have something very important to say.

"Wait for me to check."

"A month later, there will be a very important international economic and trade exchange meeting in Zhonghai City. Chi Yan was supposed to go, but he was tied up by something. In the end, it was decided that Chi Jue would replace Chi Yan. The meeting will last for a week, and Meng Yao will also go."

"When you heard about this, you insisted on going with him. When you arrived at Zhonghai, you tried your best to please Meng Yao, but the protagonist ignored you. On the last day, you were about to miss the great opportunity to snatch Meng Yao from Chi Jue. In addition, you had been rejected by him for the past few days. You were so angry that you decided to take a risk. You took advantage of Meng Yao's drinking and sneaked into his room. You gave him some unspeakable drugs, intending to have something happen with him..."

Seeing Ye Man's eyelashes tremble and droop in worry, the system hurriedly said, "But don't worry, nothing happened in the end. You humiliated yourself again. Not only did it not break up the relationship between the top and the bottom, but it gave the two of them an opportunity to talk it out and recognize their true feelings. It also made the protagonist determined to deal with you."

I didn't think much of it when the system said that, but when Ye Man earnestly promised that he would complete the plot this time, the system took a look at his plastered arm and his face covered with Band-Aids, and then thought of the other injuries on his body, and suddenly became worried about the upcoming itinerary.

"Don't try too hard. The most important thing is to take care of your body. If it doesn't work out, we'll have another chance next time." It advised earnestly.

It is now beginning to worry that the vicious cannon fodder will not be able to hold on to the end of the plot and will destroy himself!
