After saying that, Shi Xi felt like she was taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
He waited for a while, but Chi Zaiqing did not react at all. Her azure eyes were filled with a thin mist, and tears hung on her long eyelashes. Her face was full of innocent naivety, making her look particularly pitiful.
Shi Xi's heart tightened.
Will Chi Zaiqing, this pampered young master, cry?
Just when Shi Xi thought he was about to burst into tears, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves and looked at her with a face full of guilt.
"……?" Shi Xi was stunned.
I don't understand what he means.
"I'm sorry, Aran." Chi Zaiqing carefully tugged at Shi Xi's sleeve, looking at Shi Xi with teary eyes.
"My terminal went missing sometime ago. I'll give you double the money when I find it, okay?"
As if afraid Shi Xi would abandon him, Chi Zaiqing quickly raised his hand in a gesture of swearing, his face full of fear and unease as he promised, "I won't renege on my promise!"
After saying that, Chi Zaiqing slowly wrapped his arms around Shi Xi's waist along the hem of her clothes, burying his face in Shi Xi's chest.
Her slender, long fingers casually toyed with Shi Xi's damp hair, a slight smile playing on her lips as she awaited her reply.
"..." Shi Xi remembered this part of the plot.
On their escape, Chi Zaiqing and his companion were ambushed by the Zerg on their starship. The two had no choice but to jump to an undeveloped and remote star system. During their escape, Chi Zaiqing's terminal brain was accidentally lost.
When you encounter the main character Jiang Yichen here later, he will return the terminal brain to him.
Shi Xi glanced at the device on her wrist.
Actually, having a terminal brain here is useless. There's no signal on this planet, so the terminal brain is just for show.
"Young Master, I believe you."
As the sun was about to set, Shi Xi pushed away Chi Zaiqing, who was holding her, and said, "Get up, we need to find a place to spend the night."
Chi Zaiqing stood up happily.
Guided by the system, Shi Xi successfully found a spacious cave, large enough to accommodate seven or eight people.
The interior was very simple, with scattered stones on the ground.
Shi Xi tidied up briefly, and when she felt it was about time, she went outside to gather some branches and lit them with the kindling she carried with her.
Chi Zaiqing's eyes widened in disbelief.
Her face flushed red as she clapped her hands, "Ah Ran is so amazing!"
Shi Xi gave a faint "hmm" and picked up a long branch about the thickness of her wrist, then began to methodically set up a makeshift clothes rack.
Both he and Chi Zaiqing's clothes were still wet. He was fine, but Chi Zaiqing was a delicate omega, and he would definitely catch a cold if he stayed wet all night.
Chi Zaiqing squatted on the ground, approached the fire with a look of curiosity, and reached out to warm his hands.
After setting up the makeshift clothes rack, Shi Xi clapped her hands and glanced at Chi Zaiqing, who was practically diving into the fire.
The other person looked like a ragdoll cat warming itself by a fire, its fur almost burnt, yet it still stupidly moved closer.
He looks like a little fool.
Shi Xi couldn't stand it any longer, so she grabbed his collar and pulled him back a little. "Don't get so close."
Upon hearing this, Chi Zaiqing obediently hummed in agreement, then silently took half a step back and looked at Shi Xi, "Aran, I'm seated now."
[Ahhhhh!!! So cute, so cute! Baby Zaiqing is so well-behaved! I want to kiss him to death!!]
The little yellow chick was so excited by Chi Zaiqing's cuteness that it flew three centimeters before landing on the ground with a 'plop'.
Shi Xi: "...Cold medicine, calm down."
Shi Xi poked Chi Zaiqing's head and praised, "Young Master is very well-behaved."
He pointed to the clothes rack next to him, "Go over there and take your clothes off to dry."
Chi Zaiqing nodded in the direction he pointed, indicating that he understood, then stood up and began to undress.
Seeing this, Shi Xi avoided eye contact and turned to walk towards the cave entrance.
Seeing him about to leave, Chi Zaiqing immediately ran over, but didn't dare stop him. She just clutched the hem of her clothes, looking pitifully at Shi Xi, "Aran, where are you going?"
Looking at Chi Zaiqing's hesitant and timid expression.
Shi Xi sighed inwardly.
Chi Zaiqing is a typical omega: sensitive, timid, clingy, and gentle.
Shi Xi rubbed her temples helplessly. "Sigh, my young master."
He said to Chi Zaiqing, "I'll go find some food and water. You just stay here and relax."
Hearing this, Chi Zaiqing's eyes welled up with tears. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but say, "Aran, please come back soon. I'm scared to be alone."
Watching Shi Xi's departing figure, Chi Zaiqing's expression changed instantly. He licked his lips as if savoring the memory, "A-Ran's taste was truly wonderful..."
Then, humming a little tune, he slowly took off his clothes, leaving only a loose t-shirt that barely covered his thighs, while the rest of his clothes were hung on the clothes rack.
Then he squatted down in front of the fire, watching the leaping flames, and reached out his finger to touch the scorching heat. He chuckled after being burned, and murmured dreamily, "So warm...just like Aran..."
...
Shi Xi left the cave and headed straight for the fruit grove that Ganmaoling had mentioned.
After walking for more than ten minutes, we found the place.
The tree was laden with fist-sized, bright red fruits that looked absolutely delicious.
Shi Xi nimbly climbed the tree, not picking the fruit one by one, but instead shaking the branches.
The fruit fell to the ground with a clattering sound.
Two minutes later, Shi Xi felt that there were enough fruits for the two of them to eat for two days, so she jumped down from the three-meter-high tree.
But he almost lost his balance and nearly fell.
"???"
Shi Xi looked completely bewildered. "Cold medicine? Didn't I say my constitution was comparable to an Alpha's? How come I almost fell after jumping down from the tree?"
The little yellow chick lay on the ground preening its feathers. [That's normal. You were protecting Chi Zaiqing when you jumped from that height; you'd definitely get hurt. Otherwise, why would I have activated pain shielding for you?]
[Besides, you already have a pre-existing condition, and your health is already declining.] At this point, the little yellow chick stood up. [Your condition will worsen rapidly later in the story; you should be prepared.]
In fact, not only Gao Tingyu inherited the family disease, but Gao Buran was also not spared.
However, Gao Buran never said that.
This disease initially causes drowsiness and slowed movement. Then, the five senses gradually fade. Next, it feels like ants are gnawing at the heart. The pain is so intense that even the strongest person will only have one thought—to die.
There is only one solution: get a matching heart.
Gao Buran and Gao Tingyu's hearts are a perfect match. Although Gao Buran also has this disease, after the transplant, Gao Tingyu will no longer have a relapse.
Shi Xi felt there was a bug, but that's how the plot was arranged, and he couldn't change it, so he didn't bother to care whether it made sense or not.
"Understood." Shi Xi nodded.
