Chapter 36
Almost the instant Chenxi posted this update, countless intelligent beings in the inner and outer universes who were doing various things stopped at the same time, and then smiled. They were all filled with anticipation, wanting to see what Chenxi had just posted.
All the Grim Reapers who reacted immediately set Chen Xi as a person of special attention.
Watching the posts of a certain account, and even setting that account as a special follower just to get the latest updates, was unheard of for Zhizu, who never used to chat idly or look at any meaningless information. But all of this was completely shattered after Chenxi appeared. After all, how can watching the information posted by Chenxi be considered meaningless?
They watch it hundreds of times a day and leave thoughtful comments, okay?
And so, these members of the Intelligence Clan who received the notification could access the update Chen Xi had just posted in their minds through the Star Network with a thought.
However, after all the members of the Zhi clan had read Chen Xi's post, a brief silence ensued, a stark contrast to their usual frenzy of comments and enthusiastic responses whenever Chen Xi posted an update.
—I love the fox tribe the most.
They looked at the sentence with complicated expressions. They had to admit that at this moment, they were a little jealous. After all, most of the intelligent races had no chance to directly contact Chenxi, while the Ear Fox Clan was not only sent to spend every day with Chenxi, but also had Chenxi post such a message on her account. It was clear that she really liked him. They were so jealous, really so jealous.
After all, they also really wanted to be liked by Chenxi.
However, the Ghibli are a rational race after all, and they won't dwell on things that are impossible. So they quickly changed their strategy. Since this is what Chenxi likes, they'll like it too. After all, making Chenxi happy is the most important thing, and it can also help them develop common topics.
So when Chenxi posted this update, aside from a brief two-second pause at the beginning, the result was exactly the same as before: the comment section was flooded with all sorts of agreeing remarks. Some even went so far as to carefully examine the photo of the Ear Fox Clan prince's back that Chenxi posted in order to make their comments stand out, and then found places to praise him in various ways.
Seeing this, other members of the Chilean community followed suit, creating what looked like a large-scale competition of sycophants.
For a moment, the comment section looked incredibly harmonious.
However, not all intelligent beings in this world are the kind of sycophants who, knowing they have no hope of getting close to Chen Xi, take a step back and frantically fawn over her. The moment Chen Xi posted her update, her pair of indifferent golden eyes suddenly darkened considerably.
In the evening, Chenxi lay on his bed playing with his 2-in-1 tablet, but he couldn't feel comfortable no matter how he played. He felt like something was missing, making his bedroom feel empty.
He couldn't help but keep looking towards the door. Why wasn't Jin Yi here to keep him company today? Jin Yi used to be with him every night at this time. Come to think of it, he hadn't seen Jin Yi all day.
Because he hadn't seen Jin Yi, Chen Xi was in a low mood. He even found the content on his tablet boring. He swiped aimlessly, glancing at the door every now and then, until he felt a little sleepy. Hmm, it was time for him to go to bed.
Chen Xi, who had been keeping a regular schedule lately, drifted off to sleep while waiting. But even in his sleep, he didn't sleep soundly, as if something was constantly on his mind. This caused him to wake up almost immediately when he felt the blanket being gently tugged in the middle of the night. Then, seeing a dark figure by the bed, he reached out and hugged it without thinking. His voice, still sleepy, held a hint of surprise and excitement as he said, "Jin Yi, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for so long."
The dark figure being held by Chen Xi lowered its eyes slightly. The light in the dim bedroom quietly turned on at a soft and non-glaring level, but enough to make people see the figure clearly. The figure being held by Chen Xi was none other than Jin Yi with her golden hair flowing down.
Jin Yi looked down at Chen Xi, who was hugging him tightly, her voice filled with a mixture of surprise and grievance. After a long pause, he finally sighed softly. The sigh was tinged with defeat, but also seemed to contain a hint of compromise. He gently pulled the thin blanket off the bed and draped it over Chen Xi's shoulders, saying, "Don't catch a cold."
Chen Xi obediently enjoyed Jin Yi's meticulous care, and keenly noticed that Jin Yi's attitude seemed much softer than at the beginning. Although he didn't quite understand what had happened, it didn't stop him from taking advantage of Jin Yi's softening to be willful. He said, "Where did you go today? You didn't come to keep me company. I was all alone at night, so pitiful. I don't care, from now on you have to come to keep me company every night, or let me know in advance if anything happens."
However, Chen Xi was met with silence in response to her words. Instead of the expected obedience, Chen Xi looked up in confusion and met Jin Yi's golden eyes.
Jin Yi quietly watched Chen Xi until Chen Xi became somewhat uneasy before speaking, "Don't you have your favorite fox clan member? Why don't you let him accompany you?"
Huh?
Chen Xi's expression turned somewhat strange. This familiar aura? No way.
Jin Yi's voice was as beautiful as heavenly music, and her face was as indifferent as a god. However, as a human being with normal emotional intelligence, Chen Xi was certain that she had just smelled something special.
So he reached out and tentatively hugged Jin Yi's waist again, saying, "But you are my absolute favorite. The Ear Fox Clan is not even a fraction as good as you."
These incredibly childish words made Jin Yi lower his head and look at Chen Xi seriously: "What fraction?"
"Yeah, less than one-tenth."
"Too many."
"That's less than one percent."
Jin Yi continued to quietly watch Chen Xi.
"Okay, it's less than one in ten thousand. You are the one I like the most in the world."
"You promise."
"I promise."
Chen Xi's words finally dispelled the icy aura surrounding Jin Yi, and even brought a smile back to his face, which Chen Xi found somewhat unbelievable. So, Jin Yi's series of unusual behaviors today were really just because he posted a message on the StarNet saying that he liked the Ear Fox Clan.
Even though it was almost certain that this was the truth, Chenxi was still filled with disbelief. At the same time, he realized that the robots in the future world were really jealous. He couldn't help but think that in the interstellar era when humanity had not yet perished, each human household could only have one robot, because if there were two, would there ever be a peaceful day?
Just as Chen Xi's mind was drifting, Jin Yi leaned down slightly, gently put his arm around Chen Xi's shoulder, and said slowly and solemnly in his ear, "I will come to keep you company every night from now on, and I will let you know in advance if anything happens."
Jin Yiyou's deep, beautiful voice reached Chen Xi's ears, bringing a strange, tingling sensation. Chen Xi couldn't help but tilt her head uncomfortably, but a thought inexplicably flashed through her mind: one is enough. It seems that one of these beings who dote on her wholeheartedly is enough.
