"Ah! Ran, someone has broken in..."
Early in the morning, Shi Xi was awakened by Chi Zaiqing's panicked exclamations.
Chi Zaiqing pulled Shi Xi's arm, drawing him behind her as if to protect him. Her pretty face was full of wariness and seriousness: "Aran, don't be afraid, I won't let them hurt you!"
That's good, it wasn't for nothing that I spoiled this pampered young master.
Shi Xi was touched for a second upon hearing this, then glanced at Chi Zaiqing's frightened expression and explained, "They're not bad people."
Jiang Yichen remained expressionless, quietly watching Chi Zaiqing's performance.
This omega saw them last night and warned him with a look of disgust to stay away from Shi Xi.
Now, however, they're putting on this weak and pitiful protector act.
To put on airs.
He chuckled inwardly, then his gaze lingered on Shi Xi's face. Her cold yet beautiful features, and those unique ear piercings, were quite captivating.
—Especially that beauty mark under her eye, it seems to be the finishing touch.
She has an appearance that makes it impossible to look away.
No wonder this omega is so afraid that Shi Xi will be taken away by someone else.
Hearing Shi Xi's words, Chi Zaiqing's expression changed slightly, "Aran..."
He glanced cautiously at the three men opposite him. When he saw Jiang Yichen, he involuntarily took a step back, seemingly afraid of him, and asked in a low voice, "...Does Aran know him?"
Shi Xi paused for a moment, then remembered that they didn't know Jiang Yichen yet, so she gestured for him to introduce himself.
Jiang Yichen stared intently at Shi Xi with his dark eyes. After a long pause, he softened his tone and said, "Jiang Yichen."
Upon hearing the name, Chi Zaiqing became even more frightened. She swayed, her face turned pale, and she looked as if she was about to burst into tears.
Her deep blue eyes filled with tears, her head buried in Shi Xi's chest, her hands gripping Shi Xi's arm tightly, like a drowning person clinging to a lifeline, she whispered Shi Xi's name, "A Ran, save me... save me, A Ran..."
Seeing his expression, Shi Xi frowned slightly.
This young master is such a coward!
Shi Xi glanced apologetically at Jiang Yichen, who remained unmoved.
Sorry bro, let me comfort your wife first.
He raised his hand and gently patted Chi Zaiqing's back, deliberately lowering his voice to softly comfort him, "Young Master, don't be afraid, he doesn't know who you are."
Shi Xi deliberately controlled the volume to ensure that Jiang Yichen could hear her words.
Listen carefully, this is your future darling wife!
Hearing him say that, Chi Zaiqing gradually calmed down, but still hid behind Shi Xi in fear, refusing to leave him even for a moment.
As an SSS-level Alpha with keen senses, Jiang Yichen naturally heard what Shi Xi said.
His gaze lingered on Chi Zaiqing, who looked like a startled rabbit, for a few seconds.
The moment the other person heard my name, they went even further, acting like an innocent little rabbit.
Why?
Jiang Yichen's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately understood the other party's identity.
—The young master of the Chi family, an omega, to whom she is engaged.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have given Chi Zaiqing's performance a perfect score.
The Chi family and he were a powerful alliance. The Chi family took the initiative to discuss the marriage with him. He had no interest in Chi Zaiqing and had no intention of agreeing to it.
To put it another way, if Chi Zaiqing is not satisfied with this marriage, he can simply talk to Chi Yan'an to make things clear. Given how much Chi Yan'an dotes on his younger brother, it would only take a word from him.
But Chi Zaiqing was putting on a show of being deeply persecuted, and anyone who didn't know better would think he was a bully who had forcibly taken an omega.
This both aroused Shi Xi's pity and made Shi Xi's impression of him much worse.
He secretly scoffed at Chi Zaiqing's petty tricks.
Jiang Yichen glanced at Shi Xi, who was comforting Chi Zaiqing as an innocent little white rabbit, and felt a little sorry for him, who knew nothing at all.
Sheng Yingpu watched the scene before him without showing any emotion, his gaze falling on Chi Zaiqing's hand wrapped around Shi Xi's waist.
Such a slender waist, you could wrap your hand around it.
After comforting Chi Zaiqing, Shi Xi looked up and realized that the two people opposite her were staring at them intently.
"……" Help me, help me!
This chaotic scene came unexpectedly.
"I still don't know this... omega's name?"
Sheng Yingpu looked away and took the initiative to break the ice.
When the topic of omega came up, he even hesitated for a moment. Chi Zaiqing was about three centimeters taller than Shi Xi, standing at 1.83 meters.
If it weren't for the faint, sweet plum wine scent pheromones emanating from her, one wouldn't guess she was a delicate omega.
You bitch, you think you're the only one with a mouth?!
Chi Zaiqing cursed inwardly.
I wish I could immediately sew up Sheng Yingpu's ruptured mouth with a needle.
She shrank back slightly, timidly hiding behind Shi Xi.
Seeing this, Shi Xi frowned. "My young master is introverted, so it's probably inconvenient for him to tell you his name..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a timid male voice.
"Gao Zaiqing... My name is Gao Zaiqing, and I'm Aran's younger brother." Chi Zaiqing poked half his head out and looked at the two men opposite him.
Shi Xi: "???"
Jiang Yichen and Sheng Yingpu frowned simultaneously.
...
I have a question.
What do you do when the protagonist suddenly reveals that he is my half-brother?
I need help urgently.
The main problem is that he has an older brother. If Chi Yan'an, who is obsessed with his brother, knew that he had found another brother outside, wouldn't he be furious?
Shi Xi suddenly felt that her future was bleak.
"Hey? Why is Cheng Hao still asleep?" I had no choice but to change the subject in a hard-line way.
"He was in so much pain that he ate a bite of a lemon," Jiang Yichen said, playing along politely.
When he regained consciousness last night, Sheng Yingpu had already told him the whole story.
Jiang Yichen looked at Shi Xi. According to Sheng Yingpu, the other party's strength was about the same as his own.
He sensed an unfriendly gaze coming from Chi Zaiqing; he knew it.
He looked at Chi Zaiqing, but the other man quickly dodged, as if he had been rude to him.
Chi Zaiqing buried his head against Shi Xi's chest and nuzzled against her, then looked up at Shi Xi, "Aran, I'm hungry..."
Jiang Yichen understood his implication: You should get out and find some food.
Shi Xi was thrilled; he had the same idea.
Chi Zaiqing is currently too afraid of Jiang Yichen, so their romantic relationship is unlikely to develop well.
Only when Jiang Yichen goes out and happens to find his terminal brain will their relationship ease somewhat.
Before Shi Xi could speak, Jiang Yichen nodded to him and said, "Wait here, Sheng Yingpu and I will go out to find something to eat."
Shi Xi nodded to indicate that she understood.
Sure, this guy's got it!
He silently gave himself a thumbs-up.
After exiting the cave, Jiang Yichen and Sheng Yingpu separated, one going to the right and the other to the left.
After catching a few fish and killing two rabbits, Jiang Yichen returned to the cave.
He stepped on a hard object on the road, looked down and found it was a terminal.
Just then, the screen on the terminal computer lit up.
There is a message above.
[Chi Yan'an: I'll talk to Jiang Yichen about breaking off the engagement. Come back first, and don't go crazy.]
