Still half-asleep, Shi Xi paused for a moment upon hearing his words before hesitantly asking, "...Thank you?"
After he finished speaking, Chu Yao turned his face away, clearly not happy.
When the green light came on, Chu Yao looked ahead and stopped talking to Shi Xi, focusing only on driving.
Shi Xi was scrolling through short videos with her head down, discussing things with the little yellow chick in her mind.
A voice can be heard in the video saying, "You're really hungry; you can eat anything!"
"...This plot is too outrageous." Shi Xi frowned.
The little yellow chick's worldview was shattered, and it covered its eyes, letting out a mournful wail.
Oh, Mais! Mais! Mais!!
Shi Xi quickly swiped her finger to the next video.
Hearing the voice, Chu Yao, who was confused, paused and glanced at Shi Xi. "Are you hungry?"
"..." Shi Xi shook her head frantically, "I'm not hungry, not at all!"
Chu Yao didn't speak again, as if he had just asked casually.
A dozen minutes later, the hovercar stopped not far from Shi Xi's residence.
"You live here?" Chu Yao frowned, looking at the old neighborhood in front of him, and asked.
"Yes." Shi Xi nodded directly without any hesitation.
"Thanks." Shi Xi waved to him, closed the car door, and drove away.
The streetlights in the old neighborhood had long since stopped working. Chu Yao watched as Shi Xi's figure disappeared into the darkness, until even the conspicuous silver color was completely obliterated.
...
As Shi Xi stepped into the elevator, she saw two elderly women.
"Xiao Ran, are you done with your work?" One of the smiling older women looked at Shi Xi. "Our A Sheng has been talking about you every day these past few days."
The speaker was a resident upstairs. Asheng was the old lady's son, who had just turned 18 last month. He was a handsome beta and had feelings for Gao Buran.
She insisted on marrying him no matter what.
"Not yet." Shi Xi smiled at her, but didn't reply with the rest of her sentence.
"Does Xiaoran have a boyfriend?" the old lady persisted, trying to set them up. "I feel like our Asheng is..."
"I've got it." Shi Xi blurted out.
"They're petty and jealous."
"...Huh?" The older woman had originally intended to promote her family's beta to him, but she hadn't expected him to have found a boyfriend so quietly. She could only awkwardly ask, "You have a boyfriend?"
them?
Good heavens!
Another older woman looked at him suspiciously, "Xiao Ran, are you really in a relationship?"
"They really talked." Shi Xi tapped her phone. "You can see for yourself."
The two of them leaned forward, their eyes widening.
Several people said in unison:
\"one.\"
\"two?\"
Three!
...
Six?!
"You have six boyfriends?!"
The expressions on the women's faces gradually changed from surprise to excitement.
Oh my god.
That's incredible!
He talked to six people in one go! He's really amazing!!
The older woman's eyes widened, and after a couple of seconds of stunned silence, seeing the elevator stop and Shi Xi about to leave, she couldn't help but ask, "Would you mind dating someone else?"
Another elderly woman was stunned, looking at her with an expression that said, "Are you crazy?"
I couldn't help but take a step back.
Shi Xi frowned, rubbed her chin, pondered for two seconds, and then looked at the old woman seriously and asked, "Is A-Sheng tough?"
"Resilient?" The old woman looked puzzled. "What does dating have to do with this?"
Shi Xi looked worried, shrugged, and said, "They fight all the time. I'm afraid A-Sheng won't be able to beat them."
"What if I accidentally break an arm or a leg..."
aunt:\"……\"
Shi Xi took the opportunity to leave.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Sheng Yingpu standing by the window.
The other person held a document and a gift box in their hand, looking at Shi Xi with a very complicated expression.
He encountered Cheng Hao sending documents and learned that they were for Shi Xi, so he took on the task.
Unexpectedly... I stumbled upon a huge piece of gossip.
The elevator doors closed, and it continued moving upwards.
"What a coincidence." Shi Xi was stunned for a moment, wondering why Sheng Yingpu was here.
Sheng Yingpu walked up to Shi Xi and handed him the things in his hand.
"Jiang Yichen gave this to you."
Shi Xi took it and, out of politeness, asked, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
Shi Xi thought to herself.
It's not appropriate to just kick someone out without knowing how long Sheng Yingpu has been waiting.
Let's be polite for now.
"..." Thinking of the six men waiting for Shi Xi at her house, Sheng Yingpu shook his head. "No."
Shi Xi didn't stand on ceremony with him any longer, said a simple goodbye, and took the key to open the door.
But then they heard Sheng Yingpu's voice.
"Um..." Sheng Yingpu pursed his lips slightly and looked at Shi Xi.
"?" Shi Xi looked at him in confusion.
Sheng Yingpu lowered his eyes, his gaze tracing Shi Xi's silver hair, beautiful violet eyes, straight nose, and finally settling on her light-colored lips.
He took a deep breath, then slowly said, "Too much of anything can make you sick. How about I check you out..."
Shi Xi was slightly taken aback, then realized what he was talking about.
He clutched his stomach and laughed heartily.
Exhausted from laughing, Shi Xi leaned against the doorframe and explained to Sheng Yingpu, "It's fake."
"That old lady kept trying to get me to marry her son, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I tricked her."
I never expected Sheng Yingpu to actually believe something so outrageous.
How can an Alpha be so easily fooled?
"...What are those six?" Sheng Yingpu paused for a moment, then continued to ask.
Shi Xi showed him the terminal, "A virtual character in the competition, six different roles."
Shi Xi used this as a substitute because the game interface was similar to the chat interface.
Sheng Yingpu looked embarrassed.
Shi Xi patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, bro, I'm still single."
We're both supporting characters, and we're both in the same boat, a pair of single dogs.
Sheng Yingpu, his ears turning bright red, gave a soft "hmm".
"I feel a little thirsty."
"Come in." Knowing what the other person had misunderstood, Shi Xi could also guess why he hadn't come in earlier.
Shi Xi glanced at Sheng Yingpu.
How could he possibly think that such a small house could fit six people?
This isn't a cave, so you can just sleep on the ground.
She poured him a glass of water, then looked at the thing in her hand and asked, "What's this?"
Sheng Yingpu paused in his drinking, glancing at Shi Xi across from him—
\"have no idea.\"
Cheng Hao mysteriously handed him the item, saying that Shi Xi would go to the military headquarters after reading it.
but……
He doesn't think so.
Shi Xi opened the package in front of him. Sheng Yingpu was stunned for a moment, then got up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Shi Xi looked at him. "What do I have that you can't see?"
It's nothing shameful. We're brothers who've risked our lives for each other, why are you being so formal?
Hearing this, Sheng Yingpu sat down again.
Shi Xi opened the document, took out a thin piece of paper, and fell silent after seeing its contents.
