"Mind reading?" Shi Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.
To be honest, he was a little curious; he had only heard of it but had never used it before.
After putting down the sniper rifle on her shoulder, Shi Xi went into her bedroom, changed her clothes, and then went to the hospital to visit Gao Tingyu.
Gao Tingyu, lying in the hospital bed, brightened slightly upon seeing him, a radiant smile spreading across her delicate face. "Brother, you're here!"
At the same time, the ability to hear minds began to take effect.
[It's been a few days, and this useless beta has really gotten prettier and prettier.]
[Tsk, look at his otherworldly demeanor, I wonder how many Alphas he's slept with.]
I'll have to try it sometime.
His tone was frivolous and explicit.
The moment Shi Xi heard Gao Tingyu's inner thoughts, her smile vanished, and she dodged Gao Tingyu's hand that was about to hug her.
"Tsk, what's wrong with her?" Shi Xi asked the cold medicine in her mind.
Why is his adorable, cheap younger sister acting like this?
I don't want it at all anymore.
The little yellow chick's beak fell to the ground in surprise. After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, it replied, "Alphas, regardless of gender, all have penises."
Shi Xi: "..."
Having missed her first attempt, Gao Tingyu froze, biting her lip and looking at Shi Xi with a puzzled expression. "Brother, what's wrong?"
Why is this loser suddenly looking at me like that? Does he not want to give me his heart anymore?
[Hmph, I knew it! He pretends to be such a good older brother all the time, but when it really matters, he only cares about himself!]
Shi Xi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Wow, this little sister knows quite a lot.
Gao Buran never told her about his illness, and to avoid putting her under any psychological burden, he never mentioned giving her his heart.
How did she know?
"Don't call me brother." Shi Xi looked at Gao Tingyu, whose face was full of grievances.
"I'm not your brother."
Upon hearing this, Gao Tingyu almost lost her composure—
[Could it be that this useless beta found out?!]
She looked bewildered and tentatively asked, "...Brother, what are you saying?"
Upon hearing Gao Tingyu's words, the Alpha who lived next door and had feelings for her immediately cast a reprimanding glance at Shi Xi.
How could there be such a vicious brother? He only came to visit his sister once in all the time she was hospitalized, and when he did, he said such things!
Shi Xi couldn't hear this Alpha's thoughts, but if she could—
They even cursed him.
He doesn't mind the trouble of herding one sheep or two sheep.
"You've misunderstood," Shi Xi smiled at Gao Tingyu. "I just feel that an elder brother is like a father to his children."
"How about you call me Dad from now on?"
Gao Tingyu: "..."
This good-for-nothing is really pushing his luck, wanting me to call him "Dad"? He doesn't even know who he is!
"Tingyu wouldn't be unwilling, would she?" Shi Xi bent down slightly, her violet eyes fixed on Gao Tingyu. The oppressive aura of a mercenary was palpable, and Gao Tingyu's face turned pale.
Gao Tingyu looked at Shi Xi with a troubled expression, "Brother..."
【You bitch, I won't call you that!】
"If Tingyu doesn't call out, brother will be sad," Shi Xi continued, deliberately lowering her voice, "If you're sad, I might not..."
Gao Tingyu was startled. She couldn't understand why Gao Buran would suddenly act this way. For the sake of her own life, she had no choice but to temporarily submit to his wishes.
Biting her lip, Gao Tingyu called out softly, "...Dad...Dad..."
"Hmm?" Shi Xi tilted her head, as if she hadn't heard, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What is Tingyu muttering to herself?"
Gao Tingyu cursed impatiently in her heart.
[Damn! Is this useless piece of trash deaf? He can't even hear me shouting this loudly!]
With no other option, Gao Tingyu decided to go all out, closing her eyes and crying out loud, "Dad!"
At the same time, she secretly vowed in her heart, "Gao Buran, you just wait!"
Shi Xi chuckled. "If you don't call me 'Dad,' I won't give Tingyu her favorite lollipop."
He felt around inside his coat, then reached out his empty hand to Gao Tingyu.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I really forgot to bring it."
Gao Tingyu: "..."
Shi Xi's unpredictable behavior frightened Gao Tingyu. She tried to probe him but found nothing unusual.
Gao Buran still cared about her as before.
Therefore, she assumed that Gao Buran had been upset by something outside, which was why he suddenly went crazy.
Gao Tingyu poured Shi Xi a cup of coffee with a forced smile. "Brother, have some water."
Shi Xi glanced at her, took a sip of her drink, sighed, and said casually.
"This thing is just as miserable as my life."
[Bullshit, I clearly put sugar in it for you!]
Cursing inwardly, Gao Tingyu suppressed her dissatisfaction and looked at Shi Xi with tears welling up in her eyes, "Brother, have you suffered some injustice outside? Maybe... maybe you should just leave me alone. Anyway, I should have died long ago..."
In the past, if Gao Buran had heard her say such self-deprecating words, he would have already humbled himself, apologized, admitted his mistake, and coaxed her.
But Shi Xi simply stood there, calmly watching her.
Shi Xi remained calm, but the Alpha in the next bed couldn't take it anymore.
Although they had only known each other for a few days, Gao Tingyu's simplicity, kindness, and resilience had deeply moved him. In particular, after each treatment, Ayu not only did not feel sad but also comforted him instead.
In his heart, Gao Tingyu is a little sun who has endured many hardships but remains positive and optimistic.
He cannot tolerate Ah Yu being harmed in any way!
Alpha shielded Gao Tingyu behind him like a protector, staring intently at Shi Xi, and questioned her.
"What kind of brother are you? Ayu is so sick, and you not only don't take good care of her, but you actually want to abandon her! Are you trying to force Ayu to die?!"
Where did this idiot come from?
Shi Xi scoffed, glanced at him, and said, "Have you eaten shit?"
The two Alphas opposite were caught off guard and were stunned when they heard this.
Alpha roared, "What did you say?!"
"Don't spew nonsense."
Shi Xi said with disdain, "Which ear of yours heard me say I was going to abandon her? If I wanted her dead, would she be living here?"
The first thing Gao Buran did after receiving half of the deposit from Chi Zaiqing was to bring Gao Tingyu to this best-equipped hospital.
To be fair, Gao Buran was truly devoted to Gao Tingyu.
Alpha instinctively wanted to retort, but the words caught in his throat as he realized—
Shi Xi doesn't seem to have said that.
Moreover, this hospital is not cheap; it costs at least five figures per day.
Ayu had told him that she only had this one brother.
Her brother paid for her medical expenses.
Although the source of that money was...not exactly clean, it was still someone else's money.
Thinking of this, Alpha looked embarrassed and could only slink back to his hospital bed.
