Even after being shown the steps, Shi Xi still couldn't understand how Alpha had done it. She glanced at Amissa's profile.
The other person was driving without looking to the side. As if noticing his curious gaze, Yamasa turned to look at Shi Xi.
"The answer is here."
As he spoke, he held out his palm to Shi Xi, his ruby-like eyes looking at her, and said jokingly, "You can try looking for it."
Shi Xi was just about to find out what was going on.
Just then, the terminal in my pocket suddenly rang.
Shi Xi glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Pei Muban calling.
He guessed that there were too many people earlier and the other party did not see his wave signal, so he connected to the terminal.
"Boss, have you left?" Remembering the other party's previous instructions, Shi Xi asked with concern.
"No," Pei Mu said. "I'm waiting for you."
Shi Xi paused for two seconds, then briefly explained the situation to Pei Muban.
Pei Mu took a deep breath on the other end of the computer, and for some reason suddenly became serious about the question.
"Gao Buran." The Alpha's tone was calm, yet carried a strange stubbornness. "I've been waiting for you here."
Shi Xi looked puzzled, wondering what was wrong with him. Was he sad because he was stood up?
...It can't be that bad, can it?
But he still spoke up to comfort him, saying, "Boss, you've worked hard. You should go back now."
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the AI, seemingly dissatisfied with Shi Xi's words, and its tone was somewhat cold: "Okay, I understand."
"We'll have a physical exam scheduled for tomorrow, so head over early," Pei Mu said after a moment's thought.
\"besides……\"
"The fans are following Amis." Pei Mu knew Amis was right next to Shi Xi, but he still asked bluntly, "Why are you running around like that?"
"Hey (↗), I just had to slip into my occupational habit." Shi Xi glanced at Ya Misa, who had grabbed him and pulled him away, giving him no time to refuse.
Shi Xi understood Pei Muban's meaning.
He's worried about some messy rumors spreading.
Recalling the excited cheers of the fans at that time, Shi Xi frowned slightly.
Originally, the two were completely innocent, but because of what Amissa did, people who didn't know the situation might think they had some kind of illicit relationship.
Shi Xi thought to herself.
I'm just a beta, so I shouldn't be able to spread any outrageous information.
Pei Mu snorted coldly, "You'd better be."
He had originally planned to ask Shi Xi and Ya Misa about what had happened in the aircraft, but with this incident, he could only ask tomorrow.
"It must be," Shi Xi affirmed.
After the two ended the call, Shi Xi leaned back in her chair, pondering Pei Muban's words.
Mercenary organizations have a medical check-up once a year, but it was done two months ago.
Pei Muban is going to great lengths to ensure that he is alright; it seems he cares a lot about his pillar of the company.
Unfortunately... I, the pillar of the show, am about to leave.
...
Amis listened quietly to their conversation. After Shi Xi hung up, he looked at her and asked, "Are you still looking?"
Alpha's hand remained there, very close, so close that Shi Xi could touch his slender fingertips if she stretched out her hand even slightly.
The Mass is like a grand banquet, where a gentleman makes an invitation gesture, wanting to invite his favorite dance partner to dance together.
However, Shi Xi simply shook her head.
\"No.\"
He pointed to the roadside. "I'm here."
Amis nodded, withdrew her hand, and looked in the direction Shi Xi was pointing—
The old, dilapidated neighborhood had only a few lights dimly lit, and the entire area was shrouded in darkness.
The sound of brakes startled a stray cat that was resting by the roadside, which darted into the green belt with a whoosh.
Shi Xi opened the passenger door, stood beside the hovercar, and his gaze lingered for a second on Amis, who was trying to see him off—
"No need to see me off, I know this place well."
Amis paused, then placed the wreath that had fallen on the passenger seat onto Shi Xi's head. "Be careful."
Shi Xi gave a soft "hmm" and then turned to walk in the direction she knew all too well.
Suddenly, a beam of light shone brightly behind me, the bright light stretching the shadows that blended into the darkness, and the road ahead suddenly became clear.
It's like a silent streetlamp, sending him on his way one last time.
Suddenly stopping in her tracks, Shi Xi turned to look at the hovercar that had stopped in place.
Sitting in the car, Amis didn't speak, but simply waved to Shi Xi with a smile.
Shi Xi nodded slightly in thanks.
...
This time, I ran into the same old lady from last time while walking in the elevator, but she only glanced at Shi Xi and didn't say anything.
Her son, Asheng, has recently been relentlessly pursued by several burly beta men. Unable to bear it any longer, he ran away to hide outside.
She's too busy to even think about playing matchmaker for them.
Shi Xi was unaware of the situation and assumed that her previous words had made her give up on the idea of matchmaking, so she remained silent.
Back in her room, Shi Xi took a shower and was just about to go to sleep when she heard a knock on the door.
'Knock knock knock—'
"Aran...open the door..."
"???" What is Chi Zaiqing doing here so late?
Shi Xi was filled with questions.
The omega's voice outside was intermittent, with a hint of sobbing, as if he had encountered some problem.
Shi Xi frowned, worried that something might really happen to Chi Zaiqing, an omega, but she braced herself and opened the door.
Then he saw Chi Zaiqing standing outside the door, her face flushed, looking completely exhausted, with almost half of her body slumped into his arms.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
Shi Xi helped the seemingly unwell Chi Zaiqing to sit on the sofa. The latter looked up, as if he had just been crying. "...Aran, I've finished mending your shirt."
Chi Zaiqing took out a white shirt from his body. The last two buttons were cleverly sewn back on, and you couldn't tell that they had fallen off unless you looked closely.
"Yes," Shi Xi said, "The young master is very capable."
As he spoke, he reached out to take his clothes, but Chi Zaiqing avoided him.
What does this mean?
Shi Xi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Chi Zaiqing smiled and, under Shi Xi's confused gaze, put the clothes on him. Shi Xi looked down and saw three or four needle marks on the latter's fair fingertips.
Shi Xi paused, then pinched his fingers. "If you don't know how to do it, then don't do it. Why did you hurt yourself?"
The pampered young master would never do something like this; it's obvious he failed many times before he managed to sew the clothes to this extent.
It's just a piece of clothing, no need for that. He had almost forgotten about it.
Chi Zaiqing didn't move, letting Shi Xi grumble as she carefully applied the medicine to him.
Chi Zaiqing took Shi Xi's hand and placed it on the back of his neck. Shi Xi could feel the raised part under her hand getting slightly warm.
"Aran..." Chi Zaiqing said, "I'm in heat."
As he spoke, Shi Xi could clearly feel the temperature under his palm slowly rising.
