Chapter 054 Big Brother Awakens
Dong Yexi slept very soundly and when he opened his eyes, it was already noon.
It's no wonder. It was already late at night after the operation yesterday, and then I had a fight with Hatori Yui for a while, so I was completely exhausted.
He remembered that he was taking a bath before falling asleep, and now he was lying on the bed. It must be Hatori who helped him move.
Oh, it’s a bit of a loss.
Dong Yexi thought regretfully.
He moved his hands and found that his left hand seemed to be holding something. He turned his head and saw that Hatori Yui was sitting on a chair, lying on the edge of his bed, one arm resting on his head, the other stretched out, being held by him.
Dong Yexi stared at the top of his head and thought: With such an awkward posture, he is not afraid of getting a stiff neck.
He wanted to quietly pull his hand out, but Hatori Yui subconsciously clenched it and was then awakened.
Hatori Yui raised his head, his eyes still a little sleepy. He looked at Dong Yexi and said, "Senior, you're awake..."
Having just woken up, her voice was still raspy, yet it had a different kind of sexiness to it.
Dong Yexi felt an itch in his ear and rubbed the pillow. He said, "Why don't you sleep on the bed? This bed is so big, it's no problem for two people to sleep on it."
Hatori Yuiichi was stunned, touched his nose, and said, "This is my senior's home. It would be bad if someone came in and saw us."
Dong Yexi said again: "You can also sleep on the sofa. The sofa is so long that it can accommodate your long legs."
Hatori Yui lowered his head, looking at the two people's clasped hands, without saying a word.
Higashino Xi: ...It turns out that I was the one who had you hanging.
He pulled his hand back awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry."
Without his restraint, Yui Hatori could finally stand up straight. He stood up and twisted his neck and shoulders, and could even hear the sound of bones cracking.
Dong Yexi half-sat up and found that the bathrobe he was wearing had become loose, with the collar open, revealing his fair chest. His cheeks flushed slightly, and he silently pulled his clothes back on.
Hatori Yui took a quick glance and immediately looked away.
He touched his nose and his heartbeat gradually quickened.
Why does it feel like the senior can touch his heart more when he is awake?
He scratched his head and said, "Senior, I want to go back."
Dong Yexi immediately said: "Wait a minute."
However, with one person sitting on the bed and the other standing in front of the bed, the atmosphere always feels a bit weird.
He threw back the quilt and got out of bed, saying, "Let's eat first."
Hatori Yui nodded and said, "Then I'll go find the person in charge and get my student ID back."
Fortunately, the banquet contractor hadn't left yet, and the person in charge stayed at the Higashino family's house and worked all night. When he saw Hatori Yuiichi, his expression became very complicated.
Hatori Yui carried the second young master upstairs and was never seen again. Word of this incident had spread among the waiters, many of whom lamented their own lack of strength and their missed opportunity.
Especially when they saw that Hatori Yui's suit was full of wrinkles and his tie was removed, they admired his initiative even more.
The person in charge had been dealing with wealthy families for years and was no stranger to such scenes. So, he calmly greeted Hatori Yui, returned his student ID, and settled his salary.
Finally, he patted Hatori Yuiichi on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Come on!" Try to stay with the young master for a while longer!
Hatori Yui didn't understand what was going on, but she still said politely, "Thank you."
He changed out of his suit, put on his own clothes, went to the restaurant, and had brunch with Dong Yexi.
On the way, Fujizuka Tian came to report on Higane Xu's condition. "The doctor said that the eldest master is doing well and should wake up today."
"That's great!" Dong Yexi felt relieved instantly.
"However, the eldest young master will definitely need to recuperate for a period of time. I'll have to trouble the second young master with the recent affairs of the group." said Fujitsuka Tian.
Dong Yexi's hand holding the chopsticks froze. He immediately shook his head and said, "How can I manage a group? Let my uncles and aunts help manage it!"
Fujitsuka Tian rejected the proposal, saying, "They've never been supervisors and know nothing about management. Besides, the Fourth Master won't come back to help unless it's absolutely necessary."
Hearing this, Dong Yexi asked curiously: "Why? Just because they competed before?"
Fujizuka Tian glanced at Hatori Yuiichi, thought for a moment, and finally spoke, "This is just one of the reasons. The larger the group, the more likely it is to form cliques, or even split into various factions. Previously, the eldest young master spent a lot of time rectifying the disputes within the group. If the fourth master returns to the group, some people will once again be tempted to take sides."
Dong Yexi suddenly understood. This was like the factional disputes in the ancient imperial court. A large group was like a miniature of the imperial court, with many tricks involved.
"But I don't have any experience either." Dong Yexi said, "Besides, I'm still a student."
Fujitsuka Tian said, "Because you are still a student and the eldest young master's closest relative, you are the most suitable candidate to take over temporarily."
Dong Yexi thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until Big Brother wakes up."
Fujitsuka Tian nodded in agreement. Even if the eldest young master woke up, the same arrangements would still be made. He was simply reminding the second young master to be mentally prepared.
After the meal, Higashino Hiki sent a car to take Hatori Yui back to school. After the people left, all the Higashino family members who had been hiding suddenly appeared.
My aunt asked excitedly, "Is that kid your boyfriend? How old is he? How many people are there in his family? What do his parents do?"
Her uncle quickly pulled her back and said, "They're still in love, why are you asking this?" Then he turned to look at Dong Yexi and asked lovingly, "Do you need your help?"
The second uncle touched his chin, smiled teasingly, and said, "The quality is good, young man. You have good taste."
Fourth Uncle put his hands in his pockets and said indifferently: "Before you date someone, you should first investigate their background."
Tono Hanasaki spread her hands innocently, indicating that it had nothing to do with her.
Higashino: ...are they still elders?! What do you mean by "providing help"? What kind of help? What do you mean by "good quality"? You elders have lost your dignity!
He crossed his arms and said seriously, "Stop thinking! Don't let your imagination run wild! He's just my junior!"
Second uncle: "Oh~~it turns out to be my junior~"
Aunt: "Ah! It's the younger one!"
Uncle: "As expected."
Fourth Uncle: "Tsk, can you do it?"
Higashino Hanasaki: Hehehehe~~
Higashino Xi: ...Is there no normal person left in this family?
He couldn't stand the teasing of everyone, so he simply hid in his eldest brother's ward.
The eldest brother is still the best. Even if he guessed the relationship between him and Hatori, he would not "tease" him.
Dong Yexi sat down beside the bed, held his brother's hand that was not receiving the IV, and whispered, "Brother, please wake up soon. They all bullied me~"
He put his forehead against the back of his eldest brother's hand and suddenly felt his eldest brother's fingers twitch.
He immediately sat up straight and stared at his brother's face nervously.
I saw that the eldest brother's breathing began to become heavier and his eyeballs were moving, indicating that he was responding to the sounds outside.
Dong Yexi immediately started shouting, "Brother, brother! Dong Yexu! Wake up!"
Dong Yexu's eyelids trembled a few times before he finally opened his eyes. He blinked, adjusting to the light, before looking at his brother. "Who bullied you?"
The eldest brother's voice was a little blurry because of the oxygen mask, but Dong Yexi still heard it clearly. His nose was sore and tears almost fell.
He said aggrievedly, "If you don't wake up, they'll drag me into hard labor! I'm just a stupid college student, how can I manage such a large group?"
The eldest brother twitched his lips and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid." He paused for a moment and said intermittently, "But, I really have to trouble you for the time being."
Dong Yexi pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay. But big brother has to help me."
The eldest brother curved his eyes and said, "Of course."
At this time, Dong Yexi remembered to call a doctor. He pressed the bedside bell, and then a group of doctors rushed in to examine his brother.
Dong Yexu's condition is much better than expected. It looks like he will be able to leave the intensive care unit soon and recuperate in his own bedroom.
This news spread throughout the Tono family and group, and those who had been worried all night could finally rest assured.

Although Edogawa Conan asked Amuro Toru to have a detailed chat, Amuro Toru was not available. After leaving the Higashino residence, he was directly called to the organization's base.
The mission failed, or rather, the mission was aborted. Rum asked him to explain the reason in person.
Amuro Toru: ...Why not find someone to do the mission?
He didn't even have time to change his clothes.
However, when he arrived at the base, he did not see Rum himself, but instead spoke with his boss in the dark through a video call.
Rum was silent for a long time as he looked at his subordinates who were already very handsome and even more handsome after being dressed up.
Amuro Toru asked, "What do you want to ask?"
What you're saying is, wasn't what I said in the text message very clear?
Rum coughed lightly and asked, "You should have seen Jialianlu today, right? What do you think of her?"
Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows: "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Rum said, "Today I met a few old ghosts. They laughed at me, saying that my aesthetics are outdated and that I actually came up with such a stupid task. So I want to ask, is this task really not possible?"
Rum's tone was very calm, but Amuro Toru knew that he must have cursed back in person.
He has a bad temper and is a bit headstrong and conceited, and he will never question himself.
So, he is not really asking Amuro Toru's opinion now.
Amuro Toru replied with a surprised look on his face: "Really? I think this mission is feasible. Jialianlu is indeed very beautiful. If the mission goes smoothly tonight, we can definitely capture Dong Yexu."
Rum stared at him for a moment and said, "Then why did it fail?"
Amuro Toru explained, "At first, Higashino Xu never showed up at the venue, and Jialianlu didn't have the chance to run into him upstairs. Later, the head of the Higashino family suddenly died, and the scene was extremely chaotic. Higashino Xu wouldn't have been in the mood to think about anything else, so Disano aborted the plan to avoid wasting the opportunity. If Jialianlu had approached him at that time, her intentions would have been suspected, and she might even have been implicated in the case."
Rum nodded. Disano and Jialianlu had given the same explanation. It seemed like it wouldn't be easy to implement tonight.
"Then tell me, will there be another chance after tonight?" Rum asked, leaning back in his chair.
Amuro Toru thought for a moment and said, "It's probably impossible in the near future. Higashino Xu was shot, and although he was rescued, he will probably need a long time to recuperate. During this period, he will probably stay at the Higashino residence and will not have any contact with the outside world. And as a public figure, Jialianlu will definitely not be able to contact him."
"In my opinion, it would be better to arrange for a caregiver to take care of Dong Yexu." Amuro Toru suggested, "That way, she can also cultivate feelings while taking care of him. It's very common for wealthy people to fall in love with their caregivers."
Rum stroked his chin and smiled, "That's a good suggestion indeed. But I don't have such talent under my command."
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "I can borrow one. We all work for the organization, so there's no need to divide us into departments."
"Let me think about it." Rum said again, "Third brother of the Dongye family, find someone to keep an eye on him."
Amuro Toru was stunned and said, "He is not a member of the Tono family. Is there any need to keep an eye on him?"
Rum glanced at him. "Sometimes, a small, insignificant insect can bore a hole through a large tree."
Amuro Toru: "I understand."
"Oh, by the way." Rum said again, "Does the second son of the Tono family have a good relationship with the eldest son?"
"It seems so. He was quite nervous when Higashino Xu was shot." Amuro Toru said.
"I heard he likes men?" Rum stroked his chin and looked him up and down. "I think you're quite good. Do you want to give it a try?"
Amuro Toru's hair stood on end. He said stiffly, "Excuse me for refusing."
"Alas..." Rum sighed with feigned regret, "I'm not someone who forces my subordinates. If you don't want to, forget it."
"Thank you for your understanding." Amuro Toru bowed.
Although Rum appears to be very considerate of his employees, Toru Amuro knows that if there is a need for him to sell his body, Rum will definitely order him to do it directly!
