Shi Xi lay on the sofa with a satisfied look on her face.
With a whoosh of wind, a figure rushed towards Shi Xi, trying to hug her, but was intercepted by Di Chenxiao.
When Shi Han saw who was blocking his way, he immediately flew into a rage, "Di Chenxiao, what are you doing in my house?"
Once Di Chenxiao was certain that Shi Han wouldn't hug Shi Xi, he took a step back in disdain and didn't answer Shi Han's question.
Shi Han: "..."
Is he being disliked by someone?
He turned to look at Shi Xi with concern, "Little sister, are you alright?"
Shi Xi: "I'm fine! The person who spread the rumors has been caught by Xiao Xiao, and the trending topic has been taken down. I'm all right!"
Shi Han looked completely bewildered. He had come to comfort his sister, but instead, he was the one being comforted!
"My dear daughter, Xiaoxi, Mommy and Daddy are back!" Mr. Shi's worried voice rang out from outside the door.
Shi's mother walked in front, followed by Shi's father, and then Shi Hao walked at the very back.
Shi Xi ran over happily to greet them and hugged her parents.
"Mom and Dad, and my older brother, why are you all back? The things online have been mostly resolved, so you don't need to worry."
Shi Han looked at Di Chenxiao defiantly, "You won't let me hug you, but you can't stop your sister from hugging Mom and Dad, can you?"
Thirteen gave Shi Han a cold look, and Shi Han shivered and sat obediently on the sofa.
Shi Hao frowned and said to Di Chenxiao, "Thank you!"
He wasn't as efficient as Di Chenxiao, nor as fast as him.
When he learned that Xiaoxi had been targeted by smear campaigns, the trending topic had already been removed, and online trolls were trying to clear Xiaoxi's name, releasing evidence to prove that everything was a fabrication.
He found out too late, but luckily Di Chenxiao helped Xiao Xi.
He should say thank you.
Di Chenxiao was surprised for a second, then said expressionlessly, "Xixi's affairs are my affairs."
The implication is that they don't need to say thank you.
Because of this incident, Shi's parents looked at Di Chenxiao with the same eyes a mother-in-law would have for her son-in-law.
Shi Xi: "..."
History always repeats itself.
Shi's parents, Shi Hao, and Shi Han sat opposite Di Chenxiao, who sat alone on one side, while Shi Xi pitifully huddled in a corner of the sofa.
Mr. Shi said kindly, "Xiao Xi, you go upstairs first, we'll talk to Xiao Chen."
Shi Xi looked at the isolated and helpless Di Chenxiao with concern.
Shi Han said jealously, "Little sister, we won't hit Master Chen, so don't worry. I've never seen you this worried when Mom and Dad scold me."
"Second Brother!"
"Girls really are like that—once they grow up, they're gone!"
Di Chenxiao smiled and said, "Xixi, you go upstairs first, I'll come find you later."
"good!"
Di Chenxiao watched Shi Xi go upstairs until she was out of sight before he looked away.
Shi Hao sized up Di Chenxiao and asked bluntly, "Mr. Chen, is this online incident targeting you or the Shi family?"
"Targeting me!"
To have access to photos of Shi Xi on the ship is no small feat.
Many people on the ship noticed his different attitude towards Xixi, most likely those people on the ship.
Shi Hao: "You know it's targeting you. Xiao Xi has only been with you for a few days, and she's already experiencing cyberbullying. Can you guarantee that Xiao Xi won't be hurt because of you in the future?"
Di Chenxiao clenched his fists, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, and the atmosphere in the room was reduced to its lowest level.
He spoke slowly, "I will protect her with my life. As long as I am here, I will not let anyone hurt her. This was an accident, and there will never be a next time."
Shi Han sneered and mocked, "Guarantee? You had better protect my sister with your actions. If she gets hurt again because of you, I will be the bad guy and break you up."
