Si Beiling stood outside the door, listening quietly to the sounds inside, his handsome face expressionless.
The relationship between Yu Jiu'an and Song Guizhou is a well-known fact.
He had already heard about it when he first entered the wind training base.
In fact, he still doesn't know what happened. He just happened to save the Wind Taming Base, and then he was inexplicably entrusted with his son by Old Master Yu on his deathbed.
Immediately afterward, before he could even agree, the other person shot himself.
It was a complete case of forced buying and selling, dumping a whole mess on him.
He preferred to go it alone rather than stay in a base and build his own power.
He doesn't need any burdens.
Especially since the opponent was a sickly person with little fighting ability.
Si Beiling frowned.
trouble.
He himself had no intention of dealing with this mess; he was only here out of politeness to inform the other party.
Old Master Yu has a successor. Although he is in poor health, it is not his turn to take over the Wind Taming Base.
He felt that Mr. Yu's decision was unfair to both him and Yu Jiu'an.
To put it bluntly, this entrustment of the orphan was far too casual.
He only met Old Master Yu once. Old Master Yu didn't even know what kind of person he was, yet he dared to entrust the Wind Taming Base and Yu Jiu'an to him. It was simply absurd!
Upon hearing that Song Guizhou was leaving, Si Beiling hesitated for a moment, then turned and went into the restroom.
...
After Song Guizhou left, Shi Xi lifted the covers and went to the bathroom. When she came back after relieving herself, she saw Si Beiling standing at the door.
The man had slightly long red hair, an indifferent expression, sharp eyebrows and eyes, healthy wheat-colored skin that was somewhat rough, and a strong build. He was casually smoking.
The moment Shi Xi saw Si Beiling, she knew his identity—
The main character has arrived.
Shi Xi coughed twice, a surprised expression on her face, pretending not to recognize the other person, "You are...?"
Si Beiling squinted at Shi Xi.
It was late afternoon, almost dark, and the light wasn't very bright, but he could still clearly see the puzzled look on the other person's face.
Perhaps due to illness, the young man's skin was somewhat pale, and his figure was thin and slender. Unlike those who had endured the elements outside, his skin was delicate and smooth, and a beauty mark under his eye was quite memorable.
This sickly little thing is actually quite pretty.
"Si Beiling." He stubbed out his cigarette, hesitated for a moment, and said to Shi Xi, "Your father sent me to take care of you."
They seem quite well-behaved; they shouldn't be too difficult to take care of.
He thought to himself.
Shi Xi's expression darkened slightly upon hearing Si Beiling's name.
Si Beiling frowned subconsciously.
After a moment of stunned silence, Shi Xi looked at Si Beiling, opened the door, and said, "Come in and talk."
Si Beiling glanced at Shi Xi's expression before entering the room.
"I'm very sorry about what happened to Elder Yu," Si Beiling couldn't help but say.
"It's none of your business. That's just how the apocalypse is." Shi Xi sighed, her voice deep and muffled.
The apocalypse is cruel; no one knows if they will be the next to die.
As for Old Yu's death, it was ultimately the work of zombies, and had nothing to do with Si Beiling.
The apocalypse had only lasted for half a year, and people hadn't had much time to awaken their superpowers; the highest level of superpowers was only level three.
The development of a zombie virus vaccine was a pipe dream; Old Yu chose to commit suicide to avoid turning into a zombie.
"What are your plans regarding the Wind Taming Base?" Si Beiling asked Shi Xi.
His thinking was very simple.
It's always better to talk things out openly beforehand than to have misunderstandings later. He doesn't like beating around the bush.
"...Since Father has entrusted the Wind Taming Base to you, then I will listen to him." After a few seconds of pause, Shi Xi finally spoke.
Si Beiling remained silent.
I couldn't help but start to doubt myself.
Does he really look like a nice guy?
Why do these two trust him so inexplicably?
"You don't mind?" Si Beiling asked.
He looked at Shi Xi, his eyes full of curiosity.
"I don't mind," Shi Xi said.
Why would I care?
What's there to mind for a mere Peashooter like me?
The wind training base is a business that Mr. Yu built through hard work, and it is his right to give it to whomever he wants. Moreover, as a good father, he must have made this decision for his own good.
Shi Xi knew that if Si Beiling didn't take over the Wind Taming Base, there were only two possibilities: either it would be seized by another base or it would be destroyed in the next zombie horde.
In either case, the outcome is unlikely to be good.
Whether it's him or the Wind Taming Base.
He guessed that Mr. Yu thought the same way.
What Ganmaoling said makes sense; if there's a powerful backer, why not take advantage of it!
Si Beiling understood Shi Xi's gaze, but he didn't feel resentful about being used.
In the apocalypse, everyone has their own little thoughts, which is normal.
Moreover, this sickly child meant no harm.
"In that case..." Si Beiling looked at Shi Xi, "Then I'll be in charge of taking care of you from now on."
"Please take good care of me." Shi Xi nodded slightly.
...
After discussing the issues related to the Wind Taming Base, Shi Xi suddenly said, "I don't want to live here anymore."
Perhaps it was the healing effect of Song Guizhou, but he felt much better.
In order for the plot to proceed smoothly, he has to move out of the sanatorium.
Since he was going to stay here, Song Guizhou stayed with him.
Moreover, given his current status, it is not appropriate for him to live here.
Si Beiling nodded and looked at Shi Xi, "Where would you like to stay?"
"Where is Brother Si planning to stay?" Shi Xi asked in return.
"...You want to live with me?" Si Beiling was taken aback, pursed his lips, and asked.
"No." Shi Xi smiled slightly, "Living closer makes it easier to latch onto your coattails."
Si Beiling chuckled and gave an address.
Shi Xi nodded, indicating that she had remembered.
...
When Song Guizhou returned that evening, Shi Xi told him about it.
"Si Beiling won't let you stay here?" Song Guizhou asked with a frown and no emotion.
The half of his face, hidden in the shadows, turned cold.
"No." Shi Xi shook her head, folding clothes. "I just feel much better, and it's too far from here, so it's inconvenient for you to go on missions."
"Should we kiss more?" Song Guizhou blinked. "I just became a Level 3 Ability User today, so the effect will definitely be even better."
"No." Shi Xi refused.
"Alright then." Song Guizhou took the clothes from his hands and skillfully folded the clothes that Shi Xi had been struggling to finish for a long time.
Then he looked up at Shi Xi and said, "I can handle this. Xiao An, you just need to give me instructions."
"Mm." Shi Xi nodded and stood to the side.
Yu Jiu'an was well taken care of by Song Guizhou, and there were many things he didn't know how to do.
After packing his suitcase, Song Guizhou and Shi Xi went to a two-story villa.
The house next door is Si Beiling's residence, and even though it's so late, his lights are still on.
Shi Xi glanced at him and guessed that he was cleaning up the mess right now.
