Pei Mu frowned as he looked at Shi Xi, who was acting like a bandit coming down from the mountains.
Pei Muban's expression darkened slightly. He was about to tell Shi Xi to be serious when he met her beautiful violet eyes.
Shi Xi raised an eyebrow. "Boss, what a coincidence, I was just about to look for you."
\"……\"never mind.
He paused before speaking, and in the end, Pei Muban simply nodded at him.
The three of them walked together toward the exit.
Watching Shi Xi close the car door, Sheng Yingpu smiled and waved, "Goodbye, my destined one."
Only after the hovercar had completely disappeared from sight did Sheng Yingpu turn around, straighten his white military uniform, and then enter the aircraft carrier.
...
At the same time, Jiang Yichen, who was discussing with Chi Yan'an in the conference room, suddenly paused for a moment, and a ripple appeared in his usually calm, dark eyes.
Jiang Yichen turned his head slightly; he was sitting in the only spot in the conference room with a window.
His gaze passed through the transparent glass and landed on an inconspicuous hovercar outside.
Sitting on the sofa, Chi Zaiqing glanced impatiently at Jiang Yichen, not having heard a single word of their conversation.
In fact, he certainly wouldn't be sitting here if Chi Yan'an hadn't insisted.
Chi Zaiqing took out a needle and thread, lowered his head, and continued to sew the button clumsily but earnestly.
Just as Jiang Yichen was about to look away, Shi Xi seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned her head without warning.
A neon light flashed by, shining directly into Shi Xi's pupils.
The fleeting scene made Jiang Yichen's heart tighten, and he couldn't help but frown.
Although they still had those gentle, mesmerizing violet eyes, he felt as if something had changed.
Those eyes seemed to have lost their vitality, giving the illusion of pearls covered in dust...
'Knock knock—'
Chi Yan'an tapped the table twice, his expression revealing displeasure as he looked at Jiang Yichen. "Marshal Jiang."
Distracted by the noise, Chi Zaiqing's needle slipped, and the sharp needle pricked his fingertip.
Warm blood welled up from his fingertips, seeping into the white fabric and leaving a glaring mark on his shirt.
Looking at his stained shirt, Chi Zaiqing raised his head, his expression grim.
"I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." Chi Zaiqing stood up, glanced at the two people still talking, and left the conference room.
...
Blindness only lasts for a few seconds.
Suddenly everything went dark, causing Shi Xi to instinctively search for a source of light.
"Cold medicine, I'm blind," Shi Xi said to the little yellow chick in her mind.
Just now, the task progress bar jumped to 80%.
[Not blind yet, just temporarily blind] The little yellow chick in my mind hopped around twice and tore off the long strip of paper stuck to my forehead.
"What's wrong with you?" Shi Xi asked.
"Oh, this? I lost a game with 666 and 888." The little yellow chick tore up the note and plopped down on the ground.
The cyber paper on the ground quickly disappeared.
Noticing his movement, Pei Muban looked at Shi Xi and asked, "Is there anything you forgot?"
"No," Shi Xi replied casually, "I was just afraid you'd be angry if you saw my face, Boss."
"..." Pei Mu glanced at him, then said calmly, "No."
\"Um?\"
"So, boss, you're not angry that I took on the Chi family's mission?"
\"No.\"
"I won't get angry."
Alpha slowly shook his head. "My patience with you is far greater than you realize."
After he said that, the atmosphere inside the hovercar suddenly became strange.
Sensing the seriousness in his tone, Shi Xi narrowed her eyes, looked at Pei Muban, and slowly asked, "Why?"
Pei Muban in the story is not a good-tempered Alpha; in fact, to be more precise, he is—
Almost all Alphas are not good-tempered.
Alphas are born powerful, have high social status, usually have a strong desire for control, and are confident, with some even being extremely arrogant.
As soon as he finished speaking, Alpha slowly reached out and pressed the speaker button with his neatly trimmed fingers.
Soothing and gentle English songs flowed through the car.
Pei Mu lowered his gaze to Shi Xi's violet eyes and said calmly, "For no reason."
"Because you're the mainstay."
Shi Xi nodded in agreement.
After a pause, Pei Muban added softly, "Without you, the organization will collapse."
And at that moment, the English song happened to be playing—
Oh & I need you
The two voices overlapped, making it difficult to hear them clearly.
Shi Xi could see Pei Mu open his lips slightly, but she couldn't hear what he said.
...
The hovercar stopped by the roadside some distance from Shi Xi's residence.
Pei Mu opened the car door and instructed Shi Xi, "Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, go to XX's place to pick someone up. Remember to let me know before you leave."
Shi Xi gave him an OK sign.
They didn't ask who the employer was. Generally, employer information is kept confidential, and the employer will contact him on their own initiative.
As Shi Xi's figure disappeared, Pei Mu reached out and turned off the music in the car.
...
Shi Xi returned to her room, which was an ordinary two-bedroom apartment.
The two rooms were of different sizes. Gao Buran gave the sunny room to Gao Tingyu and slept in the small storage room herself.
There wasn't much in the room, except for a dozen or so photos, but he wasn't in any of them.
The photos are either of Gao Tingyu's parents with Gao Tingyu, or of Gao Tingyu with his arm around his father, or of Gao Tingyu's mother lovingly stroking his head... but Gao Tingyu is nowhere to be seen in any of them.
Gao's parents were of average appearance, and Gao Tingyu's looks could only be described as...delicate.
In comparison, Gao Buran is like a lucky winner who won the genetic lottery.
Shi Xi recalled the original plot and realized that Gao's parents were indeed more concerned about Gao Tingyu, who was seriously ill, than Gao Buran.
Gao Tingyu is two years younger than him, is an Alpha, and is a girl, so it doesn't mean she receives more attention.
From childhood, Gao Buran's parents always told him to take good care of Gao Tingyu. Over time, Gao Buran came to accept that Gao Tingyu was more important than him.
Shi Xi frowned slightly. Based on his many years of experience, this situation—
"Is Gao Buran not their biological daughter?"
[Ding—Congratulations to Shi Xi for triggering a hidden storyline. Now distributing a one-time gift pack, the Mind Listening Technique, to Gao Tingyu]
【(⊙o⊙)Wow, Shi Xi, you're amazing! You actually triggered a hidden storyline!!】The little yellow chick flapped its wings and clapped for him.
Hidden storylines, unlike the main storylines directly transmitted by the system, are generally not mentioned and require the player to actively trigger them.
Shi Xi replied modestly, "It's alright, I've just read quite a few novels."
He spent over a decade following a boy who loved reading novels, and read a lot of random books with him.
