Damn it!
How can this be allowed to continue!
Xie Qingyan realized that her mindset was indeed very wrong.
She was already quite annoyed that Xu Shi had asked her to treat Xia Ke'an, but she didn't expect that the scoundrel would have such a taste for small things.
Anyway, she didn't believe that Xu Shi would care so much if it were another man... But then she saw him being so intimate with Xia Wuyou, which undoubtedly raised her blood pressure by a few percentage points.
So you're not letting any of them go?
Being caught in the middle of all these people was quite uncomfortable. Xie Qingyan even felt that her mind was a bit chaotic, as if she had arrived at the wrong time...
She knew very well that this had nothing to do with Xu Shi's strange superpowers. No matter how capable that scoundrel was, he couldn't possibly influence her with his abilities—it was simply because of his recent changes, which had created an aura that was enough to move people's hearts.
There must be a reason for this. In the past, when she heard Xu Shi talking nonsense about opening iPart, she would just laugh and scoff. But now, seeing him getting close to other girls makes her resentful, which is the best example of that.
This was increasingly contrary to her expectations—at her age, Xie Qingyan was able to steadily manage such a behemoth as "Prism" because of her absolute rationality and calmness; emotions were hardly something that could sway her.
The same applies to her relationship with Xu Shi. Even though she noticed the change in him, her idea was to maintain a good and equal working relationship, and even the so-called engagement relationship should be the same. This should be a bargaining chip, and it should only be a bargaining chip.
But from this perspective, being "jealous" would be incredibly foolish. However, she can't even fool herself anymore; clearly, she's already been subtly influenced.
hiss……
Thinking about this, Xie Qingyan suddenly felt a headache coming on and unconsciously rubbed her temples.
"Are you tired, Sister Xie?"
Xia Ke'an noticed her actions, blinked her big, watery eyes, and said innocently, "You've been taking care of me these past few days, it must have been tiring, right? Thank you."
My sister is alright.
Xie Qingyan's eye twitched slightly. Being called "sister" by an older woman felt strange, but this girl looked like a little girl, so you couldn't find anything incongruous about it... On the contrary, you even found her cute, and she actually felt quite pleased to be called that...
"You're welcome, it's just my job."
So she didn't dwell on it too much, forced a smile and waved her hand, "Alright, I've done all the necessary tests, you guys chat, I'm going back now."
"Take care, sister."
Xia Ke'an waved her chubby little hand. She had to admit that the treatment here was really good; she had visibly gained weight...
As soon as Xie Qingyan left, the white-haired loli turned around excitedly and called out to Brother Xu Shi, "Brother Xu Shi, Sister Xie doesn't seem very happy. It's all because you said you were going to spank her, right? Boys who can't speak properly are a big turn-off."
That's enough.
Xu Shi looked like he'd seen a ghost, grabbed her round face and gave her a good rub, "Are you addicted to pretending? An old auntie should act like an old auntie, okay?"
He witnessed the changes in that woman little by little, but what about you? How did you become like this after not seeing you for so long? What kind of cuteness are you trying to pull?
"Waaah, you get all worked up when your sore spot is touched! Brother Xu Shi is bullying me..."
Xia Ke'an threw wild, haphazard punches, making futile and useless resistance.
Seeing this scene, Xia Wuyou was truly dumbfounded.
Did I not notice? When did Xu Shi and his aunt become so close...? It seems like they've only talked privately behind closed doors a few times? So this is the kind of thing you two talk about.
And what's with calling him "giegie"? Does that mean I have to call him "uncle" from now on?
"Wuyou, what are you standing there for? Come here, come here."
The white-haired loli struggled to break free from Xu Shi's clutches and waved to her little niece, "You haven't been here in a long time. As punishment, play with me to your heart's content today."
"oh."
Xia Wuyou walked over in a daze.
If you're asking what three people can do for fun, it's definitely... playing cards.
Although the term is now suspected of being over-interpreted, they were indeed playing cards seriously.
They were playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).
Xia Ke'an even childishly suggested that the loser should have a sticker on their face, which was truly childlike.
Or perhaps this is simply the white-haired loli's way of relieving her loneliness—she was indeed a little unhappy that Xia Wuyou and Xu Shi hadn't come to see her lately. After all, these were the only two people important to her, so what was the point if neither of them came? Of course, it was only after Xu Shi had scolded her earlier that it seemed like a problem…
As for the "analysis of the situation," which used to be very important, it was only briefly mentioned during the card game this time... Xia Ke'an used to like to offer her opinions behind the scenes, but since Xu Shi made his promise, she has become less interested in this aspect and now just subconsciously goes through the motions as usual.
Besides, Xu Shi seems to consider things no less than she does. The current changes in Night City are most likely related to him. What else is there to say?
"Hehe, I won again! The bombs are doubled!"
Her attention was even more focused on the card game, as if she wanted to make those two heartless guys pay dearly.
"Great job, Miss Ke'an!"
Xu Shi secretly rolled his eyes at her, telling her not to be so childish... But despite saying that, he didn't really care. Sometimes he would even deliberately lose a couple of rounds to let her have her fill of fun.
