Shi Xi was woken up by hunger. He raised his wrist and glanced at the time.
It's already 2:30 in the afternoon.
The next second, several messages popped up on the terminal.
[Spoiled Young Master: There's a bento box left at the restaurant, remember to eat when you wake up, Aran~^o^]
[Master: Why didn't you come for dinner? Were you sleeping? The restaurant is open 24 hours. Just tell me what you want to eat when you wake up. PS: We have roasted rabbit, spicy flavor.]
[The Clear Broth Master: You've given up rice?]
[A hot potato that's been dealt with haphazardly: Why didn't you come for dinner? Are you busy?]
[Chu, the germaphobe: Where are you? Come out now, the food's getting cold.]
[Rebellious Assist: Brother Gao, everyone's waiting for you to start the meal.]
The commander-in-chief is Jiang Yichen, who added Shi Xi's terminal brain as soon as he boarded the aircraft carrier.
However, I had to leave temporarily because I had other things to do.
Before going to sleep, Shi Xi browsed the StarNet website and accidentally discovered a lot of fanfiction about Jiang Yichen.
Whether it's the AA relationship, the Ab relationship, or the Ao relationship, Jiang Yichen is always the undisputed top!
So Shi Xi saved his contact information with this name.
Upon waking up to receive so many messages, Shi Xi was surprised and touched.
This feeling of warmth lasted until the roasted rabbit in her hand was completely devoured. Shi Xi smacked her lips, thinking she could have another one.
It's a pity it's gone.
Shi Xi sighed for a moment, then picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat the bento box left by Chi Zaiqing.
A heart-shaped lunchbox, with the food arranged in the shape of a kitten begging for a hug.
They're quite cute.
Shi Xi praised it in her heart, and was just about to eat the cat ears when she heard a familiar deep voice.
"You're awake?"
Shi Xi looked up and saw Jiang Yichen dressed in a formal suit. The Alpha in front of her was tall and slender. His black military uniform accentuated his long arms and narrow waist, showing off his well-proportioned figure. In particular, the leather belt around his waist gave him an unapproachable and ascetic feel.
Just like in those fanfictions, he's a rare, top-tier seme who looks slim in clothes but is muscular underneath.
Shi Xi's gaze lingered on the other person's military uniform for a moment.
"Hmm." Shi Xi nodded, then said, "You have a good figure; you look very handsome in a military uniform."
"You flatter me."
Jiang Yichen, who was standing opposite him, paused for a moment, then sat down and asked, "Was the roasted rabbit delicious?"
Shi Xi paused for a moment, then nodded with a hint of lingering satisfaction, "It was alright, just not spicy enough."
"Okay, then I'll add more chili next time."
Shi Xi paused for a second before understanding what Jiang Yichen meant.
No wonder the taste was so familiar to him; it really was made by Jiang Yichen.
"So, what's next..." Jiang Yichen glanced at the beautifully arranged lunchboxes on the table, then lost interest. He looked up at Shi Xi and asked, "What are your plans?"
Shi Xi noticed that Jiang Yichen's gaze lingered on the boxed lunch for a moment.
Okay, okay, I won't eat your wife's lunchbox anymore.
He put down his utensils and casually scooped up a bowl of tomato and egg noodles from the side.
"What can I possibly plan?" Shi Xi took a bite of noodles and continued, "Of course, I'll just keep going on missions."
After finishing his sentence, Shi Xi focused on eating, while Jiang Yichen remained silent, simply watching him quietly.
Before the two had even sat down for a short while, Cheng Hao walked over to them.
"Brother Gao." Cheng Hao greeted Shi Xi, then whispered a few words to Jiang Yichen.
Seeing this, Shi Xi simply stood up to say goodbye, "You two chat, I'll go pack my things."
He had almost finished eating, and the aircraft carrier was probably about to land, so it was time to pack up and prepare to disembark.
Although he didn't have anything.
...
After Shi Xi left the restaurant, he bumped into Chi Yan'an, who was heading towards it... Thinking that Jiang Yichen was still talking, he said, "There are people talking over there."
Chi Yan'an stopped and showed a slightly surprised expression, as if he did not expect Shi Xi to take the initiative to talk to him.
He lowered his eyes to look at Shi Xi, trying to guess her intentions.
Shi Xi's appearance was indeed very much to his liking.
However, he currently has no plans to get married or have children.
Chi Yan'an frowned, hesitating about how to respond to Shi Xi.
According to his investigation, the other party's family was not well-off, and she had a seriously ill Alpha sister. Shi Xi was very hardworking and capable. Although she was a bit greedy, there were reasons for it, and it was not a big problem.
He quite admires people who are self-reliant and strong.
Or... should we reluctantly give him a chance?
Shi Xi looked completely bewildered.
He thought that Chi Yan'an would return the way he came after saying those words, but he didn't expect that the other party would just stand there dumbfounded, with an expression of pondering important life matters.
"???"
Seriously? Bro! You're being this difficult just because I don't let you go to the restaurant?
Are they starving?
The corridor wasn't wide, and neither he nor Chi Yan'an were petite, so Shi Xi turned sideways, preparing to slip past them.
Just as Chi Yan'an was about to answer, he saw Shi Xi walking towards him.
He thought.
Is she so eager to throw herself into someone's arms?
Chi Yan'an frowned and sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Okay," he said.
Then, with a long arm outstretched, he hugged Shi Xi, who looked completely astonished.
He was two centimeters taller than Chi Zaiqing, and his face was expressionless. Shi Xi once suspected that he was planning to settle scores later.
The hug was brief; Chi Yan'an took a step back, pulled out a black card from his pocket, and said, "Take this first; the password is my birthday."
At the other end of the corridor.
Upon seeing this, Pei Muban narrowed his grey-green eyes slightly. "Gao Buran, the aircraft carrier will land soon."
Regardless of Chi Yan'an's meaning, Shi Xi said "No need" and then followed behind Pei Muban.
Chi Yan'an gave them a deep look, then lifted his leg and walked towards the restaurant.
He glanced around the restaurant; it was empty, not a soul in sight.
"It was just an excuse, as expected," Chi Yan'an said.
...
Pei Muban stopped abruptly when he heard Chi Yan'an's footsteps fading into the distance.
Shi Xi was deep in thought with her head down when, without realizing it, she bumped into Pei Mu's broad back.
Upon hearing this, the person behind Pei Muban gasped, turned around, and stared at Shi Xi with gray-green eyes.
"Gao Buran," Pei Mu said, "did you really elope with Chi Zaiqing?"
"No, absolutely not!" Shi Xi swore to the heavens.
Elopement is hardly something a devoted supporting male character should be involved in.
Pei Mu remained silent for a long time before asking, "Then why did Chi Yan'an give you the card?"
Shi Xi voiced her guess, "...Maybe he wants me to stop bothering his brother?"
Pei Muban: "..." Who's really bothering whom?
He took a deep breath before looking at Shi Xi seriously and saying, "From now on, report your interactions with the Chi family to me."
Pei Muban originally wanted to say, "You are not allowed to associate with the Chi family in the future," but then he felt that this was not right. He did not restrict Shi Xi's right to make friends, so he changed his words.
