Chi Zaiqing lay quietly on his side, his deep blue eyes fixed on Shi Xi's back.
The other person's waist-length silver hair was scattered messily on the yellow and black striped fur, like cunning moonlight splashed on the ground.
Chi Zaiqing shifted his body slightly, moving closer to Shi Xi.
Extending her slender, well-defined fingers, she slowly and deliberately played with Shi Xi's soft, smooth hair, inch by inch.
He still remembered the first time he met Shi Xi. Her silver hair stood up high, with wisps of hair falling naturally across her forehead, partially obscuring her purple eyes.
He was wearing a very simple white shirt and black pants.
With a beauty mark under her eye and wearing a very unique ear cartilage stud, she exudes a dazzling aura.
He's such a...beautiful beta that I'd want to lock him up like a caged canary.
But he couldn't bear to part with her; his Aran should be free and unrestrained.
Chi Zaiqing played with it for a while, then on a whim, she selected one strand, carefully wove it together, and finally tied it with a dark blue handkerchief.
\"it's beautiful.\"
He picked up the braided long hair and kissed the end.
Feeling the burning gaze on his back, Chi Zaiqing frowned.
Setting aside the strand of hair in her hand, Chi Zaiqing's eyes turned slightly cold as she turned away.
He looked at Jiang Yichen with undisguised malice in his eyes, and silently mouthed, "Don't touch him."
Jiang Yichen raised his perfectly intact right hand to him, silently replying, "You should go back to the Chi family."
With Chi Yan'an keeping him in check, this little madman is somewhat more behaving himself.
Chi Zaiqing's disgust deepened, and he wished he could stab him to death right now.
He didn't want Shi Xi to be tainted with the pheromones of other Alphas, so he didn't launch a pheromone attack.
After giving Jiang Yichen an unceremoniously friendly international gesture, Chi Zaiqing once again showed him the back of his golden head.
Jiang Yichen frowned, his gaze sweeping coldly over Chi Zaiqing before moving past him to the neatly tied-up hairstyle.
It's not pretty at all, it's hideous.
He thought to himself.
...
Chu Yao frowned as he watched the two of them bickering over a girl.
He had excellent eyesight and could see a very fine scratch on the back of Jiang Yichen's hand.
It looked like it had been cut by a sharp weapon.
Based on the sound of air being cut through in the darkness he had just heard, he was certain that what had happened was not the sleep paralysis that Shi Xi had described.
Indeed, someone made unwanted advances towards Shi Xi, and that person was none other than the renowned Imperial Marshal Jiang Yichen!
It's unbelievable that an SSS-level Alpha and an SS-level Omega would compete for the same Beta.
Chu Yao's gaze fell on Shi Xi's beautiful profile.
Silver strands of hair fell across Shi Xi's face, and under the warm yellow firelight, her beauty mark under her eye became even more prominent, with a hint of decadent red at the corner of her eye.
She is charming and sexy without realizing it, exuding allure and bewitching people's minds.
He felt that he must have damaged his brain from staying up all night, because he actually thought that if it were Shi Xi, it would be normal for two more Alphas to fight over him.
A moment later, Chu Yao looked away, quickly turned around, closed his eyes tightly, and exhaled a breath of stale air.
What a vixen!
Chu Yao thought to himself silently.
...
Shi Xi hadn't planned to fall asleep so quickly, but he was so sleepy that he drifted off to sleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Fortunately, no one bothered him this time, and he slept soundly until dawn.
When he woke up, only Sheng Yingpu and the three pirates remained in the cave.
After a quick wash, Shi Xi went to the cave entrance and retrieved a wolf.
On the way back, they happened to run into Sheng Yingpu, who had just woken up.
When Sheng Yingpu saw him, his expression became somewhat unnatural, and a blush rose on his cheeks.
"?" Shi Xi looked puzzled.
Just as she was about to ignore him, he called out to her, "...Your shirt isn't buttoned up."
"Not buttoned up?" Shi Xi was a little surprised. She looked down and saw that it really wasn't buttoned up. The last two buttons of her shirt had fallen off at some point.
Recalling Sheng Yingpu's behavior last night, he looked at Sheng Yingpu and asked, "So that's why you avoided my gaze yesterday?"
Sheng Yingpu gave a soft "hmm," and the scene from last night involuntarily flashed through his mind.
Shi Xi's shirt was slightly open, revealing a section of her slender waist with smooth lines. Her trouser legs were slightly rolled up, and there was a ring of marks around her fair ankles that looked like they had been pinched.
Because she was a little angry, Shi Xi had alluring red marks on the back of her ears and the corners of her eyes, making her look like she had just finished exercising.
But the other person was completely oblivious, her violet eyes filled with a thin mist of tears, staring straight at him.
Shi Xi looked at Sheng Yingpu's expression and narrowed her eyes slightly.
He was telling the truth.
What happened last night?
Could it be that he really experienced sleep paralysis?
Sheng Yingpu extended his right hand, which was clenched into a fist, and slowly opened it, palm up, revealing two white buttons lying quietly inside. "I just happened to find these. Here, take them."
Shi Xi paused for a moment, took the button from his hand, smiled at him, and said, "Thank you for your trouble. Tonight's accommodation fee is waived."
Giving it to him is useless; he can't sew.
"Aran."
The next second, Chi Zaiqing appeared at the cave entrance. He walked over, grabbed Shi Xi's arm, and asked with a curious expression, "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing." Shi Xi pulled her hand away from Chi Zaiqing's. "It's just that a button on my shirt fell off, and Sheng Yingpu found it and gave it to me."
Looking at his empty hands, Chi Zaiqing glanced at Shi Xi with a disappointed expression, then thanked Sheng Yingpu.
Sheng Yingpu did not reply to him.
He helped Shi Xi, what does it have to do with Chi Zaiqing? What right does Chi Zaiqing have to thank him on behalf of Shi Xi?
"Aran, give me the button, I'll sew it on for you." After thanking her, Chi Zaiqing said to Shi Xi with a smile, looking very confident.
This pampered young master can do this too?
Looking at him like this, Shi Xi, somewhat distrustful, pulled out the braided pigtail from her back and asked, "Did you braid this?"
He discovered this while washing his hands; the only person capable of doing such a thing is Chi Zaiqing.
"What does Aran think?" Chi Zaiqing asked. "Isn't it beautiful? I think it suits Aran very well."
Shi Xi glanced at the crooked braid and replied perfunctorily, "It looks good, very good."
Chi Zaiqing seemed completely oblivious to the politeness in Shi Xi's words, saying, "If Aran likes it, that's good. I'll braid Aran's hair every day from now on."
"..." I encouraged you, how could you repay kindness with enmity?
Shi Xi complained inwardly.
"...No need." Shi Xi glanced at Chi Zaiqing's hands, which had never done any housework. "I think my hair looks fine down."
"Alright then," Chi Zaiqing replied sullenly.
The next second, he looked up at Shi Xi with expectant eyes, his deep blue gaze fixed on her. "Can I sew some buttons on your shirt, A-Ran?"
