Just when Shi Xi thought she had gotten away with it, Chi Yan'an, who had already reached the door, suddenly stopped.
It was as if they realized something was wrong, or perhaps it was intentional—
His deep blue eyes looked at Shi Xi, and he asked:
"Since the medicine was switched, what happened to you just now?"
He had seen the surveillance footage of the scene; the pain he was in was... a truly horrific sight.
However, his private doctor conducted a comprehensive examination on him, and the results showed that, apart from some malnutrition, all of Shi Xi's physical indicators were normal.
Upon hearing this, Chi Zaiqing immediately looked at Shi Xi. Recalling the scene that had terrified him, he still felt a lingering fear.
His fingers trembled slightly.
Aran's body temperature just now... was very strange.
Shi Xi remained silent.
These two brothers are exactly alike; they're always incredibly clever at the worst possible times.
[Shi Xi, just make up any reason. I adjusted your health parameters, and they didn't detect any abnormalities.]
The little yellow chick in my mind hid behind the virtual door, only showing two tufts of hair, and said as if asking for praise.
Throughout the entire story, no one knew that Gao Buran was "sick".
Now, of course, we can't let this slip.
Chi Yan'an and Chi Zaiqing only knew that Gao Tingyu had poisoned him, but they did not know that he was already beyond cure.
"The cold medicine really did a great job," Shi Xi praised.
【(σ≧?▽?≦?)σ】The two tufts of hair swayed happily.
Shi Xi sighed, "To tell you the truth, it's epilepsy."
Meeting their gazes, Shi Xi said without changing her expression, "I've been like this since I was a child; I'm prone to having an attack when I'm stimulated."
Chi Yan'an frowned as he looked at Shi Xi, his thin lips slightly pursed, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Epilepsy? I think you're having a fit of madness.
Raising a tiger is a recipe for disaster; a kind heart is no good, what a fool.
Chi Yan'an made a blunt assessment in his mind.
Chi Zaiqing naturally wouldn't believe such a flimsy excuse.
How could a mercenary possibly have epilepsy?
However, he wouldn't show it directly; if Shi Xi didn't want to talk about it, he would investigate on his own.
"What triggered Aran's distress?" Chi Zaiqing asked cooperatively.
"...I've used all my money to pay for medical expenses," Shi Xi said after a moment's thought.
\"so?\"
Chi Yan'an frowned slightly. It was only a little over five million yuan, and paying Gao Tingyu's medical expenses had absolutely no connection to his illness.
Chi Zaiqing, who knew Shi Xi quite well, remained silent, anticipating what Shi Xi was about to say.
"So, I was heartbroken and devastated by the loss of my beloved, and my old illness relapsed." The more Shi Xi spoke, the more reasonable it seemed.
Chi Yan'an smiled and slowly walked up to Shi Xi.
Looking at Beta, whose eyes were stained red from crying, his gaze unconsciously darkened, and then he subtly looked away.
"Gao Buran."
\"exist.\"
After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth:
"You'd better be telling the truth."
—Don't make me dig out your secrets.
Shi Xi blurted out:
"Honest and fair dealings with both young and old."
I don't lie to children and the elderly.
But I'm sorry, you are neither.
As soon as she finished speaking, a very familiar black card appeared in Shi Xi's hand.
\"?\"
Shi Xi looked at Chi Yan'an with a puzzled expression.
"What are you doing?"
"Here are the flowers," Chi Yan'an said. "So, are you overjoyed and greatly encouraged now that you've found them again, and the medicine has cured you?"
Shi Xi: "..." You are truly a miracle worker, a reincarnation of Hua Tuo!
...
After Chi Yan'an left, Shi Xi looked up at Chi Zaiqing beside her.
Shi Xi's eyes were just like those of a child waiting for their parents to signal them to receive New Year's money.
His eyes asked inquiringly, "Young Master, may I accept this?"
Chi Zaiqing glanced at the black card in his hand casually, paused for a moment, and then nodded.
"Take it."
"Consider it a gift," Chi Zaiqing said.
At this moment, Chi Zaiqing was squatting on the ground, while Shi Xi was sitting on the bed, with the latter in a higher position.
Chi Zaiqing suddenly grabbed Shi Xi's chin, forcing the beta on the bed to look down at him.
Shi Xi looked surprised, not understanding what he was going to do.
The next second, Chi Zaiqing exerted a little force, his lips under his fingertips opened, and he extended his slender, jade-like fingers, which were joined together, and probed into his warm lips and tongue.
To stir things up at will.
Chi Zaiqing looked up at Shi Xi, his expression extremely serious. "Aran has lost a lot of blood. Let me see where she's injured."
Shi Xi reached out and slapped her.
It hit Chi Zaiqing on the head.
He mumbled incoherently, "Release...open...slurp..."
Chi Zaiqing released her hand, and like a well-behaved large pet cat, tilted her head and looked at Shi Xi with her moist, azure eyes.
He looked completely bewildered and confused, yet gentle and sensible, as if he had no idea why Shi Xi was taking pictures of him.
Shi Xi wiped the corner of her mouth.
He then saw Chi Zaiqing staring at him expectantly.
The doubts and dissatisfaction in my heart vanished instantly.
After all, Chi Zaiqing is an omega. What bad intentions could an omega possibly have?
"Tongue tip." Shi Xi said, sticking out her tongue at Chi Zaiqing, revealing a clear bite mark on the tip.
It was completely red, with wisps of blood still oozing out.
"I'll go get the medicine." Seeing how serious the wound was, Chi Zaiqing instantly lost the desire to continue teasing Shi Xi and stood up with heartache.
Half a minute later, Chi Zaiqing stood in front of him carrying a first-aid kit and a glass of lightly salted water.
Shi Xi glanced at the person opposite her, and unexpectedly, his face was right in front of the omega's lower abdomen.
This position... is a bit awkward.
After rinsing her mouth with salt water, Shi Xi smiled and held out her hand: "...Young Master, give me the medicine, I'm going to the bathroom to look in the mirror..."
Before he could finish speaking, his smooth-lined chin was gripped by the omega's seemingly slender but actually strong fingers.
Chi Zaiqing lowered his eyes slightly. "Aran, open your mouth."
Shi Xi paused for a moment before opening her mouth.
Chi Zaiqing bent down slightly and leaned forward to apply the medicine to him.
As soon as the slightly cool and stimulating spray touched her tongue, Shi Xi subconsciously pulled it back a little.
Chi Zaiqing immediately stopped, "Does it hurt?"
Shi Xi shook her head. "It doesn't hurt."
He was given pain-blocking medication for colds, and he really didn't feel any pain.
Moving backward is simply a physiological reaction, an instinctive conditioned reflex.
Chi Zaiqing remained silent, seemingly unconcerned by his answer, and continued applying the medicine with her head down.
Just when Shi Xi thought the topic was over.
After patiently and meticulously spraying the medicine, Chi Zaiqing released his hand from Shi Xi's chin and whispered as he packed up the medicine box:
"Don't bite yourself even if it doesn't hurt. If you have an attack later, bite me instead."
"Why would I bite you? I don't have rabies," Shi Xi said, her tongue slurring. "Besides, this was just an accident; I've never bitten my tongue before."
...
After all that fuss, it's time for dinner.
Chi Zaiqing had dinner with Shi Xi and then invited her to visit the mecha hall.
He looked at Shi Xi and asked, "Want to go in and take a look?"
