In the corner, a beta with a familiar face quietly opened a group chat.
[Group Chat: Ranbao's Harem (158)]
[Has my Ranbao heard anything today?: I'm so lucky! I ran into Ranbao again. This time he was with his boss, apparently for a medical check-up.]
[The baby's husband: What??? Pregnancy checkup!! Is it progressing that fast?!]
[Hit a wall for dyeing treasure: Medical check-up? With the boss? Ouch~]
[Has there been any news about my Ranbao today? This time it's different. My boss just pinched Ranbao's cheek, and for some reason they suddenly started arguing. Now my boss is sitting alone, looking very melancholy and sad.]
[For Ranbao's sake: ...Did the young couple break up?]
[The husband of the unsullied baby: Probably not.]
[Has my Ranbao heard anything today? They must have seen the trending topic online, so they started arguing...are these two really a couple?!]
[Bu Ran's husband: It's not that we can't ship them, I'm fine with it (hehe)]
...
Chi Zaiqing squatted at the door, waiting expectantly for Shi Xi to return like a large pet.
Just then, the terminal 'ding'ed, sending a new message.
He impatiently pulled out his terminal, only to see a glaring photo on the screen.
I could see the unmistakable love in Amis's eyes.
Chi Zaiqing suddenly tightened his grip on Duan Nao's slender fingers.
'Click—'
Tiny spider cracks appeared in the center of the Endbrain screen, and then the cracks continued to expand until the Endbrain, unable to bear the pressure, exploded with a bang.
...
Chi Zaiqing looked at the broken pieces on the ground, his eyes filled with regret.
I was too angry just now and didn't know my limits, so I accidentally dirtied Aran's floor.
Has Aran gone to the Mass for so long without returning?
He cleaned up the mess, took out the spare terminal, and saw the red dot on it constantly moving closer to him. His anxious mood was instantly calmed down.
No, this is Aran's house...
Ah Ran will be back soon.
But once Aran comes back, he should be sent away...
Chi Zaiqing stood up and walked towards the bathroom. The floor was still damp, so he threw the soap onto the tiles.
Chi Zaiqing stared at the soap, his azure eyes filled with malice.
Her delicate and pretty face appeared somewhat gloomy under the light.
He calculated what kind of fall would make it look serious, but in reality, only cause minor injuries.
I can't fall and hurt my face, otherwise I won't be able to act cute with Aran later.
You also can't fall and hurt your hand.
Just then, the door opened, and Chi Zaiqing stepped forward, landing squarely on the soap.
...
'Bang—'
As soon as Shi Xi opened the door, she heard a loud bang.
"Ugh..." A muffled groan of pain came from the bathroom.
pain.
It's the young master's voice!
Shi Xi immediately realized what was happening and ran to the bathroom.
Chi Zaiqing was lying on the ground, his knees stained red with blood.
"A-Ran..." Seeing Shi Xi approach, Chi Zaiqing raised her small face, looking at him with a wronged expression, "It hurts so much, A-Ran."
Shi Xi squatted down and checked his injuries. Fortunately, they only looked scary and no bones were broken.
"Young Master, are you an idiot? You can even fall down while going to the toilet." Shi Xi raised her hand and gave him a flick on the forehead.
Chi Zaiqing lowered her eyes, adopting an obedient and submissive demeanor, and muttered softly, "I didn't see anything on the ground..."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi glanced at the soap in the corner of the bathroom. The floor was white, and the soap was also white; it was hard to tell unless you looked closely.
There's really no way to blame the young master.
Shi Xi rolled up Chi Zaiqing's trouser leg and asked, "Can you stand up?"
"Hmm." Chi Zaiqing nodded, stood up awkwardly, and then accidentally lost her balance and fell into Shi Xi's arms.
Shi Xi supported Chi Zaiqing, her deep voice ringing in Chi Zaiqing's ear, tinged with a hint of helplessness:
"Young Master, you're incredibly stupid."
As Chi Zaiqing listened to Shi Xi's slightly distressed scolding, he tightened his grip on Shi Xi's waist.
Suddenly, I felt no pain in my knees at all.
I just feel that this injury was really worth it.
Ah Ran felt sorry for him...
The omega's deep blue eyes were filled with joy, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
"Hmm," Chi Zaiqing said, "Aran is right, I'm an idiot."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi looked at Chi Zaiqing and, seeing his foolish appearance, silently swallowed the curses that were on the tip of her tongue.
After helping the person to the sofa, Shi Xi grabbed the first-aid kit. Before she could speak, Chi Zaiqing said, "Aran, have I caused you any trouble?"
Shi Xi pursed her lips, finished cleaning the wound, and said, "No."
Upon hearing the reply, Chi Zaiqing placed his hands on his thighs, opened his lips, but before he could utter a sound, his stomach began to rumble.
"...Didn't you have breakfast?" Shi Xi asked, looking up.
"No." Chi Zaiqing lowered her head shyly and answered softly.
He had been waiting at the door since Shi Xi left, forgetting to eat breakfast.
"Not to your liking?"
"I'm not hungry." Chi Zaiqing shook his head.
Shi Xi glanced at him, just about to lecture him on the importance of eating breakfast, when her wrist-mounted device suddenly beeped—
Shi Xi pulled her sleeves up a little, glanced at the phone, and saw that it was a video call from Chi Yan'an.
Chi Yan'an must have known that Chi Zaiqing hadn't returned home all night.
Fine, let him take the person back.
Shi Xi answered Chi Yan'an's video call without caring.
Chi Yan'an looked at the scene before him. Chi Zaiqing sat on the sofa, propping his hands on his thighs and looking at Shi Xi, while Shi Xi squatted on the ground, holding medicine in her hand.
Because of the angle, he didn't see the injury on Chi Zaiqing's knee.
He wasn't surprised at all that Chi Zaiqing was at Shi Xi's house. He was more concerned about the medicine Shi Xi was holding.
He frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over Shi Xi. "You're injured?"
Shi Xi assumed he was referring to Chi Zaiqing, and lightly tapped the latter's calf. "He fell and scraped his knee, just a little bit of skin."
"Oh." Chi Yan'an's expression was indifferent. He glanced at Chi Yan'an's knees but didn't pay much attention to them.
"I won't be back for a while, so please take good care of him," Chi Yan'an said to Chi Zaiqing.
Shi Xi was surprised for a moment, not expecting that Chi Yan'an could entrust his younger brother to him with peace of mind. She nodded with mixed feelings.
Chi Yan'an's gaze lingered on Shi Xi for a few seconds.
This beta looks quite well-behaved and easy to care for at this point.
"Be good, wait for me to come back."
Hearing Chi Yan'an's coaxing tone, which sounded like he was talking to a child, Shi Xi couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
I thought to myself.
This brother-obsessed guy is hopeless.
Chi Zaiqing placed his hands on Shi Xi's shoulders, as if to make it easier to talk to Chi Yan'an or to assert his dominance, with almost half of his body pressed against Shi Xi.
"Don't worry, brother."
Upon seeing this, Chi Yan'an's eyes darkened slightly, and he gave a curt "hmm" with no expression on his face.
Shi Xi felt that the young master was so heavy that he was about to collapse under his weight.
