Xi Xingxue's pupils dilated.
Is Zhu Yuan testing him?
The original owner had no feelings for Zhu Yuan, his fiancée, because he only loved himself.
However, he was worried about the future of being kicked out of the Xi family and ending up on the streets.
This persona should be faked and used to exploit 'her'.
Therefore, Xi Xingxue has always expressed her liking.
Whether it's true or not, it doesn't constitute a breakdown in one's public image.
"I will like you no matter what you are like; love has nothing to do with gender."
When Xi Xingxue smiled, he revealed a row of neat teeth. His eyes were curved, and the sunlight shining through the window made the young man even more radiant than the warm sun.
It is deeply moving.
Zhu Yuan's eyes narrowed slowly, her red lips curved into a smile, and she stretched out her long finger to brush away the stray hairs on the boy's cheek.
She lowered her head, closing the distance between herself and Xi Xingxue, her breath lightly brushing against his cheek.
Her tone was incredibly gentle: "That's good. I hope Xiao Xi will always keep that promise and always love only me."
Xi Xingxue was slightly taken aback, and a ripple appeared in her eyes.
His words were ambiguous, carrying a hint of probing and warning; how could he not understand?
He thought about the possibility of being rescued.
Could this little bird have checked the security camera footage and successfully captured the scene of him running back and forth between the three private rooms, like a playboy?
Zhu Yuan asked, "Answer me, okay?"
Xi Xingxue nodded: "Mhm."
Zhu Yuan laughed heartily. Her face was captivating whether she was a man or a woman, and at this moment, it was alluring to the bone, perfectly embodying the character.
If she wore men's clothing, what a monstrous sight she would be.
"Xiao Xi, don't lie, or I'll lock you up."
It will make you belong to 'her' alone, inside and out.
Zhu Yuan and Shen Yu have different personalities, but they share a common flaw.
That is possessiveness.
When they set their sights on something, they develop a desire to possess it, even locking it in a cage and making it their only possession.
After Zhu Yuan left, Xi Xingxue stared at her retreating figure in silence for a long time.
At this point, the little bird probably didn't love him very much either.
However, this possessiveness does not belong to a lover at all.
If you were to become 'her' lover and have an affair with someone else, the consequences would be absolutely terrifying.
Zhu Yuan left, and Shen Yu walked in from outside the door.
His coat was casually draped over his shoulders, and there were faint scratches on the boy's cheeks. He exuded an unbridled aura of violence.
"Come home with me."
He raised his lips at Xi Xingxue.
As Xi Xingxue got out of bed, she stretched her tired shoulders, glanced at him, and asked with concern, "Second Brother, did you just get into a fight?"
Shen Yu didn't answer, "Mind your own business."
Xi Xingxue strode towards him. "I'm just curious. Tell me, who did you fight with?"
Shen Yu: "Don't listen, I'm afraid you'll cry."
Xi Xingxue: "..."
On the way home, the two remained silent. Although they had been intimate, looking at Shen Yu's casual and indifferent face, you would feel that...
At most, it's just a "lip friendship" relationship; don't overthink it.
If Xi Xingxue hadn't known Shen Yu's background, she would never have believed that it was Shen Yu's first kiss.
Shen Yu's indulgence towards him was somewhat surprising.
Seeing the 30% favorability rating from Shen Yu, Xi Xingxue really wanted to know what kind of person he was in Shen Yu's eyes at this moment.
The system said, "Shen Yu believes that you and he are the same kind of people. Otherwise, if you treated him like this, you would have been finished long ago."
"The same kind of people?"
Xi Xingxue didn't understand, but the system told him to ask it himself.
When Xi Xingxue returned home, it was already late at night, and she found her older brother, Xi Zhixu, sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
He spent most of his day at the hospital, and now it's 2 a.m.
Although they are family, the Xi family members have different daily routines and mealtimes.
Right now, Xi's parents should be asleep. Although they also have shares in the company, they have handed them over to Xi Zhixu to manage, and they are doing nothing, going fishing and traveling around.
Xi Xingxue walked over.
"Big brother, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"There's a lot going on at the company, I'm busy until very late today." Xi Zhixu tossed the documents aside and stood up.
He was wearing a white shirt and glasses perched on his high nose, looking refined and dignified.
Xi Zhixu's gaze then fell on Shen Yu behind him, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
"You're back so late, Shen Yu. Did you take Xiaoxue out to play?"
This veiled accusation is full of implications.
Xi Xingxue didn't understand why the relationship between the two brothers had suddenly become so bad.
He quickly spoke up, his voice soft and manipulative, "Big brother, that's not how it is. I took him out to play. Please don't blame him."
"Oh?" Xi Zhixu's expression instantly softened. "Today seems to be Qixi Festival. You guys are going out together on a day like this?"
At this point, his expression, which had improved somewhat, darkened even further.
He is Xi Xingxue's older brother.
Xi Zhixu understood how adorable he was and how easily he could make people fall for him.
Therefore, he also felt that Shen Yu was his rival.
It is to seize Xi Xingxue's existence.
A somber mood filled his eyes, reflecting a sinister light beneath his glasses.
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at him, his face expressionless, a mocking smirk playing on his lips: "Since you understand, why ask?"
"Chen Yu." Xi Zhixu's disgust for him instantly reached its maximum. He strode over and arrived in front of Shen Yu in three steps, looking him in the eye.
Shen Yu 187.
The two brothers are the same height.
Xi Zhixu threatened in a low voice: "Don't think that just because you have some tricks up your sleeve, you can do whatever you want in the Xi family. Fine, I'll give you 20% of the shares, but you have to stay away from Xiaoxue."
"Stay away from him?" Shen Yu's voice was neither loud nor soft, deliberately asking, "We are all his brothers, why should I stay away from him?"
"Because your existence poses a threat to him." Xi Zhixu did not intend to hide this from Shen Yu.
Before Shen Yu returned, his whole family treated Xi Xingxue as their own daughter. But after Shen Yu returned, seeing Xi Xingxue's pale face, their first reaction was heartache.
Shen Yu is the true member of the Xi family, and they want to accept him. However, a disobedient child who has been living away from home is ultimately no match for Xi Xingxue, who grew up under their care.
After meeting him, seeing the seemingly cold but actually unruly young man, they became even more certain of their inner thoughts.
Although Shen Yu is their biological son, he will probably never be able to become close to them.
Shen Yu looked at Xi Zhixu with a cold expression.
Similarly, although the Xi family members are related to him by blood.
But he didn't take them seriously either.
If they treat him better after he returns to the Xi family, he might try to be lenient.
But the answer is obvious: this group of Xi family members, just like him, are cold-hearted and indifferent.
