"..." Shi Xi remained silent for three seconds, silently asking her system's cold medicine in her mind—
What were they saying?
Just as he was about to leave, everything went black before his eyes. He only heard Chi Yan'an say, "How about..." and then felt someone pulling him.
Once things returned to normal, he saw Chi Zaiqing looking at him with a sincere expression.
Shi Xi inexplicably felt a sense of bewilderment, like someone picking up a pen in class and then realizing they couldn't understand what the teacher was saying.
[Nothing, just asking you to stay overnight] The little yellow chick lay halfway inside the doorway, on the ground, contemplating life.
Shi Xi frowned slightly.
He wasn't surprised that Chi Zaiqing asked him to stay, but as for Chi Yan'an...
Is this Alpha trying to expose his true colors?
Chi Yan'an was no fool to be able to control the Chi family, which had many branches and deep roots.
Shi Xi knew that her words would not fool him at all.
The other party was clearly very interested in his little secret, and seemed to be planning to delve deeper into it.
It's too dangerous here, we should leave.
He pushed Chi Zaiqing's hand away and left without looking back. "No."
...
Watching Shi Xi's retreating figure, Chi Zaiqing said expressionlessly, "Big brother, your intentions are too obvious."
"Doesn't Aran have any pride?"
Everyone could tell he didn't want to talk, yet he was still so eager to uncover the secrets. That's how Aran noticed.
Chi Yan'an glanced at Chi Zaiqing through his glasses. "He seemed a little off just now."
As a mecha pilot, Chi Yan'an possesses exceptionally keen observation skills.
Although Shi Xi reacted quickly, he still sensed a moment of bewilderment.
It was as if he hadn't heard what they were saying, and only after being reminded by others did he give an unnatural reply.
Chi Zaiqing, also a mecha pilot, didn't ask what was wrong, but a knowing glint flashed in his eyes, "So that's Aran's secret."
Chi Zaiqing and Chi Yan'an exchanged a glance, then Chi Zaiqing asked, "You released that woman?"
Chi Yan'an's gaze turned to the entrance to the basement.
\"No.\"
Chi Zaiqing's eyes were icy as he strode towards the basement: "Now it's time to decrypt."
Chi Yan'an took off his silver monocle and followed.
...
Nighttime, military headquarters.
Cheng Hao entered the marshal's office with a sealed document in his hand.
"Marshal, here are the documents you requested." Cheng Hao placed the document on the desktop.
If the marshal hadn't ordered him to investigate, he wouldn't have known that Brother Gao had actually passed the military academy entrance exam.
Cheng Hao was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, shouldn't it be a piece of cake for Brother Gao to get into military academy?
But why didn't Gao pass the exam? Were the examiners blind?
Jiang Yichen opened the document that had been sealed away for two years and took out the admission report.
The last column of the report clearly stated: "If the deadline is missed, the grade will be invalid."
The office was silent.
Jiang Yichen: "..."
Just as I expected.
Cheng Hao froze for a moment, staring at those words, and asked in confusion, "How could this be?!"
Is Brother Gao just bored and taking the military academy entrance exam for fun?
This isn't like Gao Ge's personality.
While Cheng Hao was still trying to figure out what was going on, Jiang Yichen simply took out a pen and crossed out the line of text with his well-defined knuckles.
He then wrote another sentence and stamped it with the seal representing the Imperial Marshal.
Then he took a gift box out of the cabinet.
\"Cheng Hao.\"
\"exist.\"
"Send this document along with this to Gao Buran."
He believed that the other party was capable of finding out the truth.
What he had to do was deliver the belated acceptance letter to the recipient.
Tell him you passed the exam.
...
As Shi Xi left the Chi family and opened her terminal computer to call a car, she received a notification that her membership would be automatically renewed.
Then a friendly reminder popped up on the terminal:
[Insufficient balance, not recommended to take a taxi]
"???" Shi Xi.
He just couldn't believe it. How poor could they be?
Shi Xi checked her balance and found only 18.2 yuan.
The 15-yuan membership cost him half of his savings.
"...So poor."
Shi Xi thought back and realized that it was Tomato Video that deducted the money. The first month cost 0.1 yuan. The original owner had signed up for a membership but forgot to turn off automatic renewal.
Shi Xi took a deep breath, realizing the importance of money.
After thinking it over, Shi Xi decided to walk back.
Thirteen kilometers, just enough to digest.
He stretched his limbs, took an orange-flavored lollipop out of his pocket, tore open the wrapper, and popped it into his mouth.
Twenty minutes later, Shi Xi switched from running to walking.
Just as Shi Xi came out of the store after buying a bottle of water, she ran into Chu Yao, who was wearing a red tracksuit and had a cigarette in his mouth.
The two brushed past each other, and Chu Yao seemed not to notice him.
Shi Xi didn't intend to greet him anyway, so she remained silent and walked slowly.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yao took half a meter, then suddenly stopped, stubbed out his cigarette, and turned back to look at him—
"Where are you going? I'll take you."
"???"
Shi Xi was stunned.
Was Chu Yao possessed by some kind of evil spirit?
How kind of you!
Shi Xi decided to give it a try, "Are you Chu Yao?"
Chu Yao ran his hair back and clicked his tongue impatiently. "Do you even need to ask? You don't recognize me after less than a day apart?"
Do I look like Chi Zaiqing, Jiang Yichen, or Sheng Yingpu?
"Ha, you didn't mistake me for your Alpha friend, did you?"
"I remember Chi Zaiqing lives nearby. Are you here to see him?"
"Looks like I've been meddling in other people's business?"
"……"
Listen to this series of questions.
Shi Xi thought to herself.
This reaction came from Chu Yao himself.
He can't stop talking about Chi Zaiqing, so the childhood friend persona is probably still there.
Thinking this, Shi Xi said to Chu Yao, "I didn't mistake you for someone else, I just didn't expect you to be so kind."
"I'm happy to help others..."
"I thought you were possessed by a ghost."
Chu Yao frowned and looked at Shi Xi, completely baffled as to what was going on in his head.
"I'm glad you're alright," Shi Xi said.
The dim streetlights reflected in Shi Xi's violet eyes, casting a soft halo around him.
At this moment, Shi Xi's pupils reflected his image, as if he were the only Alpha in her eyes and heart...
Chu Yao's heart was racing, and he subconsciously avoided Shi Xi's gaze.
"Of course I'm fine."
He took a deep breath.
This beta is really a vixen.
"Where to? Get in the car." Chu Yao opened the car door and said to Shi Xi.
Shi Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally got into the car.
His body was becoming increasingly sluggish, and he felt like a robot that kept disconnecting from the internet.
After giving the address, Shi Xi didn't say anything more.
While waiting at a red light, Chu Yao glanced at Shi Xi.
The other person had his eyes lowered, and the neon lights cast shadows on his handsome face, causing his long, thick eyelashes to tremble slightly.
For some reason, Chu Yao felt that Shi Xi was inexplicably vulnerable at this moment.
As if possessed, Chu Yao spoke first: "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
