Chapter 93 The Savior Whose Glory Was Stolen Is Reborn and Rekindles Their Fate...
Let's go back a week.
Shortly after Si Qi joined Chu Feng's team, the group rushed to a city for an emergency rescue.
The cities that need their rescue are usually small cities. Large cities are well-defended with satellite surveillance and the most powerful military forces stationed there, so there's nothing to worry about. But small cities can only rely on the most primitive methods: establishing watchtowers on the outer perimeter of the city. Once any trace of the Zerg is detected in any area, the city center is immediately notified.
This approach allows for early detection of Zerg invasions, after which either responding independently or seeking help from higher levels depends on the situation.
Si Xin's previous theatrical performances took place in such a small city. The bureaucrats in the territory knew how corrupt their jurisdiction was; the soldiers who had gotten in through connections were all experts at infighting, good at oppressing the people, but when faced with the Zerg, they would run faster than anyone else. So they used their connections to find powerful individuals, such as "S-class" orcs like Si Xin who were independent of the military system, to help them, and the problem was easily solved.
This explains why Si Xin was praised so highly for single-handedly saving the city from danger, while Chu Feng and his team needed an entire squad to repel the swarm of insectoids in a critical moment—because the insectoids they faced were on completely different levels, both in terms of quantity and quality.
Not to mention that every time Si Xin goes out, he is "coincidentally" photographed and published by various media outlets. Chu Feng and his team act in a race against time. By the time they arrive, the Zerg have already appeared. They don't have time to wait for the media to find an angle and set up their cameras before rushing into the city to kill enemies everywhere. After killing, they are covered in blood and exhausted. They only want to find a place to rest as soon as possible. They have no mind to pose for the camera or wave to the people.
In comparison, Si Xin appears exceptionally composed and at ease in the entire Beast Star environment, even surpassing the elite squads of the four major families.
At least thanks to the marketing efforts of Si Ma and others, the general public has always believed this.
Until Si Qi joined Chu Feng's team, the situation where Chu Feng and his team used to have to chase after people and fight bloody battles everywhere became visibly much easier.
Of the giant insect corpses scattered throughout the city, at least half were completely intact, with no visible signs of injury.
Those were all Si Qi's achievements.
Therefore, the people changed their previous state of panic and running away, hiding and trembling. Before they had even run far, they witnessed their compatriots killing insects as easily as cutting vegetables, and they were extremely excited.
The media also transformed into war correspondents, capturing extremely valuable firsthand footage, which they then published on news programs.
The people who had been saved by Chu Feng and his group only then realized that it was these people who had saved them, and they were filled with gratitude. They spontaneously came to present these most lovable people with a banner and some of Si Qi's favorite delicacies.
The media captured this scene. Many of the beastmen who had been trying to curry favor with the savior and help him find his brother spotted Si Qi on television and immediately told the Si family of three about it.
Si's parents were both surprised and delighted. They were delighted that they had finally found Si Qi and no longer had to live in constant fear that their secret would be exposed. But they were also surprised that Si Qi had, of all people, appeared next to Chu Feng! And that was Chu Feng!!
Previously, Chu Feng had repeatedly told Xuanwu that he believed Si Xin was not the savior. Now that the true savior has appeared beside Chu Feng, does this mean that Chu Feng has realized something?
“Perhaps not yet,” Si Xin said. “If he finds out that guy is the savior, he doesn’t need to hide it; he can just say it directly.”
"Maybe he wasn't originally one?" Si's mother couldn't help but speculate about Si Qi with the utmost malice, not wanting Si Qi to be a savior at all, as that would be a complete disaster for her.
"Maybe," Si Xin said, unsure.
Xuanwu believed Siqi to be a savior because he had touched Siqi's spiritual power. Chu Feng had entered and exited the battlefield with Siqi, so he must have discovered that Siqi's spiritual power was very strong; otherwise, how could he have brought him to such a place?
It's unclear why Chu Feng couldn't discover what Xuanwu could. Was it because he had never encountered Si Qi's spiritual power? Or perhaps...?
Regardless, Si Xin said, "We must bring them back as soon as possible."
"Of course!" Si's parents immediately said, "I'll go talk to the clan leader about this! He'll definitely be able to contact Chu Feng!"
The whole family sprang into action, and the Si family patriarch, considering that Si Xin was most likely Si Qi's savior, readily agreed.
Anyway, "Si Xin" was originally Si's parents' child. What's the meaning of Chu Feng suddenly taking him to the battlefield? This is like kidnapping someone else's parents' child without permission and making them live in fear for so long!
Both morally and logically, the Si family has every reason to reclaim "Si Xin".
Especially since this was a request made personally by their family's future savior.
Even if the person opposite him was the founder of the Chu family, the Si family patriarch dared to speak.
But Chu Feng refused.
Not only did he refuse, but the patriarch of the Chu family also remained firm in his stance, dismissing the Si family's demands: "These are children we brought back to raise. You think you can just take them as you please?"
The Si family patriarch threatened, "This isn't my request; it's the Savior's personal order—"
The Chu family patriarch interrupted rudely: "We have never acknowledged that he is a savior."
The Si family patriarch's anger surged: "What do you mean!"
The Chu family patriarch sneered, "When we found Xiao Qi, his body was covered in wounds from long-term abuse, and he had been injected with drugs to inhibit his growth and development. Don't tell me that you, as the patriarch, didn't even know about this."
What little Qi? Isn't that child named Si Xin? As for long-term abuse… The Si family patriarch recalled what he had investigated before and said coldly, “This is a private matter for the Si family, and it’s none of your business!”
"A person of this character can be called a savior? Even if he really were, I wouldn't dare let him protect me." The Chu family patriarch rolled his eyes and said, "Just keep deceiving yourself!"
The Chu family patriarch hung up the phone, and the Si family patriarch listened to the busy tone on the other end with a very sour face.
He knew, of course, what the Si Xin family was like. He had seen it all, from their attempts to create a reputation to the numerous mistreatments they inflicted on "Si Xin" in private.
So what? It's perfectly normal for parents to only love their smart and strong children while ignoring their weak and stupid ones!
Who says a savior must be virtuous, noble, and selfless? It's not even certain whether the saviors of yesteryear were as good and virtuous as the legends suggest!
He only wanted one more savior for the Si family, to continue their family's glory for the next thousand years. Whether Si Xin was a good person or a bad person was irrelevant; what mattered was that he bore the Si surname and had a harmonious relationship with the Si family—that was enough!
Since they couldn't persuade the Chu family, the Si family patriarch summoned many clan elders and leaders from other families to a meeting. They decided to join forces to put pressure on the Chu family and threaten them to hand over Si Qi.
Xuanwu from the Xuan family was busy cultivating a good relationship with Sixin and had no time to pay attention to these matters, but the Xuan family members were well aware of their ancestor's attitude and expressed their support without any objection, contributing both manpower and effort with an extremely positive attitude.
The Chu family suddenly became the target of everyone's attacks, and was targeted by various forces on many occasions.
However, the Chu family's attitude towards this matter did not waver in the slightest.
If I say I won't hand over the person, then I won't.
If orcs were good-natured and would give in after being threatened, what kind of orcs would they be? They would all be spineless cowards!
In particular, several powerful figures in the Chu family knew how much Chu Feng took care of Si Qi, and how badly Si Qi was abused when he first came to the Chu family.
Such adorable cubs, so sweet and cuddly every time we meet, so incredibly well-behaved and sensible. Now that they've finally raised them to be plump and healthy, they're going to hand them over to others to be tortured again—how can we tolerate that?
Not to mention that "Si Qi" is just a fake who waves the banner of a savior and swindles people everywhere. How could they possibly bow their heads and compromise? It's utterly ridiculous!
Therefore, the more pressure they are put on by the outside world, the more obvious their arrogant attitude becomes, and their main characteristic is their unruly and rebellious nature.
No one understood why the Chu family was so stubborn in keeping the child confined within their household. Between a mere "Si Xin" and the savior Si Qi, any normal person would know which to choose. There was no benefit other than offending people; if the savior held a grudge later, they would definitely suffer the consequences.
Everyone was watching the Chu family make a fool of themselves, but the entire Chu family protected Si Qi so tightly that they didn't reveal a single piece of information to him. They simply wanted Si Qi to live a peaceful and happy life in the Chu family, while the adults bore all the pressure.
Si Qi heard about this from Xiu Xiu.
He's been busy carrying out missions all over the place lately, figuring out the internal workings of the Chu family and the condition of the soldiers; he has a lot to do.
He had anticipated that his whereabouts would be discovered by outsiders; he couldn't possibly hide forever because of Si Xin, never daring to show his face. However, Si Qi was quite pleased that the Chu family was protecting him.
He asked Xiuxiu to collect and compile his previous physical examination reports and send them to Si's parents and Xuanwu.
The purpose of this action was not to expect the Si family parents to realize their mistakes and repent, but to tell them, "If you continue to cause trouble, this thing will eventually be exposed to the whole world, your seemingly perfect son will be exposed to everyone, and your claim of loving your son and worrying about him so much that you searched everywhere for him will be doubted by the world."
When the information was sent over, Si's parents were in front of the camera, crying and accusing Chu Feng of his despicable behavior, saying that Chu Feng had imprisoned their poor son.
Since pressure from above is ineffective, and Chu Feng doesn't care about the threat of the fake savior, he'll stir up public opinion and get people all over the world to condemn him. He doesn't believe Chu Feng is so stubborn as to disregard his reputation and insist on keeping Si Qi, this idiot, alive.
The two were talking enthusiastically, reminiscing about how much they had loved "Si Xin" over the years, how they had cherished him like a treasure. Even though "Si Xin" had low intelligence from a young age, was oblivious to the outside world, and couldn't speak or call out "Dad" or "Mom," they still carefully cared for him and raised him to adulthood.
Many reporters present were moved to tears by their touching story. At this moment, the assistant came over with a strange look on his face, holding a document in his hand, and whispered to Mr. and Mrs. Si.
When Si's parents looked down and saw the photos and information related to Si Qi on the document, their sad and distressed expressions instantly crumbled. They looked at the camera lens with surprise and uncertainty, as if they were staring at the mastermind behind sending them the document.
They knew that this document was sent by Chu Feng, and they also knew the threat hidden behind it.
If they say anything in front of the camera about feeling sorry for Si Qi, worrying about Si Qi, or reminiscing about their close relationship with Si Qi over the years, it might become a handle for Chu Feng to use against them in the future. The more they say, the more they will be slapped in the face.
Thus, the grand speech about searching for their son came to an abrupt end at the height of the atmosphere and the peak of emotion. Si's parents stiffly said, "We have received Mr. Chu's reply; this interview is now concluded," and hurriedly ran off before the reporters could even react.
They needed to tell Si Xin about this as soon as possible and discuss with him what to do.
Si Xin was always ruthless and more composed than the two parents. Rather than worrying about being ridiculed by outsiders, he was most concerned about Xuanwu's reaction, which was the truly fatal factor.
Given Chu Feng's personality, while he's warning his family, he might, like before, say some random things to Xuanwu.
Therefore, immediately after hanging up the phone, Si Xin ran to the training room and deliberately let the Zerg injure him, covered in blood, and sent his subordinates to inform Xuanwu about the incident.
Xuanwu was listening impatiently to his subordinates talking about Si Xin. Upon learning that Si Qi was injured, he rushed to Si Xin's side and his eyes instantly turned red when he saw the blood and flesh cut by the insectoid blades.
"What happened?" Xuanwu angrily questioned the orcs serving Si Xin, "How have you been taking care of him!"
“It’s okay, don’t blame them, it’s my fault.” Si Xin, who always presented a kind face, comforted him, “I was distracted during training and that’s how I got injured, don’t worry.”
Xuanwu looked at Sixin's bloody wound, his heart breaking with grief: "It's all my fault, I didn't protect you well."
“No,” Si Xin slowly shook her head, her tone gentle, “It’s my fault for having random thoughts during the battle, that’s my problem.”
Xuanwu finally noticed what Sixin had been saying earlier, and with difficulty pulled his gaze away from the other's wound: "What happened to you?"
The servant, whom Si Xin had instructed beforehand, complained on behalf of his master, "It's all because of that young patriarch of the Chu family! He detained the young master's brother, causing the young master's family to cry every day. Not only that, he even took so many photos of abusing the young master and sent them to him! The young master was heartbroken when he saw them, but he couldn't do anything about that young patriarch of the Chu family. In his panic, he got injured!"
Xuanwu's face darkened. He recalled what his subordinates had told him before he came over—about Si Xin being abused. Ah, so that's how it was!
He knew that Chu Feng had ulterior motives for kidnapping Si Xin, and sure enough, it was to threaten Si Qi!
Chu Feng is a treacherous villain!
Si Xin lowered her eyes, a tear falling from her eye, and choked out, "My brother can't speak, he's clueless about the outside world, I'm so afraid Chu Feng will do something to him..."
When Xuanwu saw Si Xin's tears, his heart almost stopped. He was both angry and anxious, wishing he could rush out and kill Chu Feng on the spot. He was so helpless that he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Si Xin's eyes.
Si Xin: "Have you seen my brother's recent videos? He's actually grown taller! The doctor said my brother was born with developmental delays, and Mom and Dad tried so many things but nothing could help him. But suddenly he's like this! Mom and Dad say Chu Feng might have injected my brother with a growth-promoting drug. It seems to work on the surface, but it's actually causing great damage to my brother's body... Waaah, Brother Wu, what should I do? I feel so sad just thinking about my brother's current situation..."
Xuanwu panicked when he heard Sixin crying and quickly comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue your brother, I promise!"
“But Chu Feng is always by my brother’s side, how can we save him?” Si Xin said sadly. “What if he gets pushed to the limit and really does something drastic to my brother… I’d better go there myself and meet with Chu Feng. I’m willing to agree to whatever he asks, as long as I can make sure my brother is safe.”
"How can this be!" Xuanwu rejected the idea outright, just as Si Xin had expected, and did not want Si Qi to meet Chu Feng at all.
Wouldn't that allow Chu Feng's scheme to succeed?
Si Xin: "Then can you find a chance to stall Chu Feng, and I'll ask the clan chief and the others to take the opportunity to rescue my brother?"
He dared not entrust the task of saving people to Xuanwu. If Xuanwu met Siqi and sensed Siqi's mental energy fluctuations... wouldn't he be exposed on the spot?
Xuanwu readily agreed to Si Xin's request, saying, "Of course, I will do whatever you say!"
Moreover, he had disliked Chu Feng for a long time, and he was particularly eager to find an opportunity to fight Chu Feng.
Regardless, he had several hundred more years of cultivation time than Chu Feng. Before, their strength was roughly equal, but now… haha!
He's sure he can catch Chu Feng and give him a good beating.
Thus, on the surface, this sudden accusation by the Si family ended just as suddenly.
The people had just heard Si's parents accuse Chu Feng of stealing their child, and before they could even stand up for them, Si's parents said that Chu Feng had already responded to them, and they were no longer in a hurry to demand an explanation from Chu Feng.
Everyone was baffled and didn't know how to react. At Si Xin's request, the Si family patriarch and his group were equally puzzled and stopped their attack on the Chu family.
As for the Chu family... they didn't know that Si Xin changed his tune because he was afraid that Chu Feng would reveal the fact that they had abused Si Qi for many years. They were eager to get revenge, but then the group suddenly backed down, so they seized the opportunity to mock them and ridicule them as cowards.
The Xuan family members were furious, feeling insulted, and retorted that the Chu family's peacocks were just a flock of chickens that couldn't fly. The two sides started fighting like that.
Si Qi: "..."
Si Qi said to Chu Feng with affection, "Brother, fly with confidence, I will always be with you."
Chu Feng: ...?
What the heck?
Chu Feng didn't know what the Si family was planning with their sudden change in attitude. He suspected that these people were willing to break ties with him in order to take Si Qi back, and that it was definitely not just about concealing the abuse.
He was worried about what Si's parents might do next, so he said to Si Qi, "From now on, even when we go out, you have to stay by my side the whole time. You can't just run around, understand?"
Si Qi: "Mmm-hmm."
“There are a lot of bad people outside. They might arrest you and lock you up again.” Chu Feng emphasized, trying to make Si Qi understand the seriousness of the situation.
"If I'm locked up, will I never see my brother again?" Si Qi blinked, then threw herself into Chu Feng's arms, hugging his waist and saying in a clingy voice, "No, I want to be with my brother forever."
"..." Even though Chu Feng knew Si Qi's seemingly innocent but actually cunning nature and understood that the little guy was probably just pretending to be well-behaved, he was still softened by Si Qi's actions and comforted him, saying, "Okay, brother will always be with you, brother will protect you."
“Absolutely, my brother is the most powerful beastman in the world!” Si Qi said loudly.
Chu Feng: "..." Actually, no, I guess I'm the second best.
When the savior appears, I'll probably be ranked third.
Si Qi tilted his head back and said to Chu Feng, "By the way, brother, you've taught me so many things, so let me teach you how to train your divine sense too."
Chu Feng: "Divine consciousness?"
"It's spiritual power, but it's much more powerful than spiritual power..." Si Qi gave a general description of the situation of divine sense, emphasizing: "Moreover, unlike spiritual power, divine sense, regardless of innate aptitude, can be steadily increased through systematic training."
Chu Feng astutely grasped the key point: "You mean, all orcs who have awakened their spiritual power can enhance it later in life?"
“Yes,” Chu Feng was indeed in tune with him and immediately understood what he actually meant. Now he wouldn’t have to worry about how to promote his divine sense.
Si Qi hugged Chu Feng and snuggled close to him, saying softly, "Brother, am I amazing?"
If divine sense is truly as effective as Si Qi claims, it must be incredibly powerful. Chu Feng inwardly marveled at Si Qi's genius, then looked down at Si Qi's eager expression and chuckled, "Yes, you're very powerful—what reward do you want?"
He's almost developed a conditioned reflex to Si Qi's actions. Whenever Si Qi asks him if he's amazing, he'll definitely reply, "Since I'm so amazing, brother has to reward me."
"Then..." Si Qi's eyes darted around, and he said, "I want a kiss from my brother."
Chu Feng readily agreed, picked up Si Qi, and gently kissed him on the cheek.
Young children who lack love from a young age love to cuddle and hug each other, Chu Feng understood.
Si Qi shook his head, pouted, and made a pig-like face, his eyes and expression clearly joking: "No, no, it's a kiss here."
Chu Feng knew Si Qi was teasing him, but he smiled and still emphasized seriously, "This is a place where only people who like each other can kiss. Xiao Qi, you can't let anyone else kiss you here, understand?"
Don't think he doesn't know that everyone in the base, and those people he met on missions, are all eyeing Si Qi covetously, wishing they could come over and kiss, hug, and lift him up high, and take him home as their own child.
Chu Feng knew that Si Qi didn't like being touched by others, so he protected Si Qi very closely when they were outside, which made the group of people look at him with more and more resentment.
But Si Qi might not know the difference between two kinds of "qinqin" (亲亲).
Si Qi asked pitifully, "Does my brother not like me?"
Chu Feng: "Of course not!"
"Then why?" Si Qi put his arm around Chu Feng's neck and said, "Isn't it said that you can kiss anyone you like?"
Chu Feng: "You're still young."
"I'm seventeen already! I'll be an adult in two more months!"
Chu Feng ignored Si Qi's nagging: "Even if you're an adult, it won't work. Wait until you're about my height before you say that."
"So that's how it is!" Si Qi's eyes sparkled. "So as long as I'm the same height as my brother, he'll kiss me!"
Chu Feng: "..." Oh no, we've fallen into their trap.
He knew that Si Qiyi was pretending to be well-behaved while secretly plotting something, and sure enough, he was right.
Si Qi pouted, "Is my brother going back on his word?"
He looked like he was about to cry and said to Chu Feng, "So, my brother doesn't like me, that's why he won't kiss me."
Chu Feng: "…………"
"Or is it that brother only likes the savior and wants to save his first kiss for that person?" Si Qi covered his face with his hands and said sadly, "Brother even lied to me before, saying that he didn't have anyone he liked..."
Chu Feng saw Si Qi's shoulders trembling and his voice choked with sobs. Remembering how this child was severely lacking in love and easily lost control of his tears, and how he had tried so hard not to cry in front of him more than once before, with red eyes, he said, "I didn't lie to you."
Si Qi didn't speak, turned his body away from Chu Feng, and curled up in Chu Feng's arms.
Chu Feng couldn't see Si Qi's face, and became even more worried. She comforted him, saying, "Don't be like this, it hurts my heart to see you like this."
"You don't even like me, how could you possibly care about me?"
"I like it." Chu Feng coaxed him like a child.
"How can you prove it?" Si Qi said dejectedly, "As expected, I'm an unwanted child. My parents don't like me, and my twin brother hates me too..."
"How could that be? Everyone likes you." Chu Feng had no choice but to say, "...When you really grow up, become sensible, and understand what liking someone means, and you're still willing to let me kiss you, then I...I'll consider kissing you, okay?"
Si Qi cautiously raised his head, his eyes looking timidly at Chu Feng: "Really?"
"Really," Chu Feng said.
He felt that it would be a long time before Si Qi truly grew up, and when Si Qi had met more people and no longer needed his protection all the time, Si Qi might not even remember the words he had just said.
Many orcs said "I want to marry you/brother/sister when I grow up" when they were young. At that time, they thought that their good friends or the older brothers and sisters next door were the most powerful, handsome and kindest people in the world, so it was easy for them to say it.
But who will take these things seriously when they grow up?
Si Qi said firmly, "Then I want to grow up quickly! Tomorrow I'll be as tall as my brother!"
Chu Feng: "...Then forget it, let's take it slow."
"Why are you taking it slow?" Si Qi put his hand down and grinned mischievously. "Is your brother shy?"
Chu Feng: "..."
He saw that Si Qi's face, which was covered by his hand, had no tears at all, and knew that the child had indeed been faking crying. He was both annoyed and amused, and pinched Si Qi's face: "Little liar, let's see if I'll fall for it again next time."
"I'm not lying to you. If you don't like me, I really will cry. I'll cry until I'm all my tears are gone, until I cry myself to death." To make his statement more believable, Si Qi nodded seriously, looking completely certain.
Chu Feng was both amused and exasperated. He shook his head and said to Si Qi, "Alright, it's late. Go wash up."
He put Si Qi down from his arms, and Si Qi stood on the ground, tilted his head back and said to him, "I will grow taller soon, brother, you have to wait for me."
Chu Feng verbally agreed, but in his heart he thought, what's the use of just growing taller? One's mind has to grow up too.
However, if we only consider knowledge and cleverness, Si Qi has actually surpassed many of the adults in the base.
His combat strength is almost on par with mine.
That night, Chu Feng, who had just been confessed to by Si Qi, had a dream.
In his dream, Si Qi transformed into a burly man nearly two meters tall, whose running footsteps produced a "thump thump thump" sound like an earthquake, and who called out to him in a deep, booming voice, "Brother~".
Seeing Si Qi like this, Chu Feng refused to accept the truth. He turned and ran, wanting to find the little cutie from his memories. The burly man chased after him, shouting, "Brother, wait for me! Brother, I'm as tall as you now!"
He was being chased relentlessly and, without a second thought, plunged headlong into the Zerg horde.
As a result, the strong man shoved the Zerg army aside as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and fearlessly chased after him until he grabbed him, pressed him to the ground, and pouted his little pig mouth to kiss him.
Chu Feng was devastated at that moment. He struggled and resisted, until the moment they were about to kiss, the strong man suddenly became slender and fair-skinned, probably the adult version of Si Qi that he was familiar with, without a beard or a muscular body.
Chu Feng suddenly felt at ease and relieved. He gently accepted Si Qi's piglet kiss, a blissful smile on his lips, enjoying this hard-won joy.
And then...and then he woke up laughing.
Staring at the familiar ceiling, his brain belatedly realized what kind of dream he had just had, and what he was laughing about.
He was suddenly jolted awake.
That day, Si Qi stared blankly at the dark circles under Chu Feng's eyes and asked, "What happened to you?"
Chu Feng avoided his gaze, not daring to look at him, and mumbled, "I was thinking about the divine consciousness you mentioned, and I couldn't sleep all night."
Si Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing through Chu Feng's lie at a glance. He gave Chu Feng a meaningful "I understand" look and said, "Divine sense, right? Yes, divine sense."
He seemed to believe Chu Feng's words and didn't continue to pester him. Then, in the instant Chu Feng lowered his guard, he launched a surprise attack: "My name is Shenshi?"
Chu Feng was rinsing his mouth when he heard this and almost choked on his water. He coughed twice and said to Si Qi, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Si Qi raised an eyebrow: "Don't be shy, I understand."
Chu Feng became increasingly conflicted: "What do you know!"
This little rascal is really precocious for his age!
He suddenly stopped, looked at Si Qi suspiciously, and asked him, "Wait a minute, what's wrong with you today...?"
He gestured with his hand and said to Si Qi, "You only came to my place yesterday, right?"
How did I grow ten centimeters taller in just one night?!
Si Qi chuckled and said, "Really? Oh dear, kids just grow up so fast."
Chu Feng frowned: "Won't this affect your health? You didn't secretly use anything harmful behind my back, did you?"
"That's not true!" Si Qi protested, "Brother, you don't believe me and you even doubt me. I'm so sad!"
Chu Feng said coldly, "Whenever you mention my brother, nothing good ever comes of it."
Si Qi pouted, snorted, and muttered something under his breath.
Chu Feng glanced sideways at Si Qi and noticed that even though Si Qi had grown taller, he was still as adorable as ever. After hesitating for a moment, he said to him, "It's fine for you to grow taller, but... but don't get too muscular..."
He was genuinely a little scared of the burly man from last night.
I don't mean to say that people with a strong physique are bad; it's just that he personally prefers people with a well-proportioned figure.
For example, he really liked Si Qi, whom he dreamed about last night... Wait, what was he thinking?!
Chu Feng quickly lowered his head and splashed water on his face, trying to banish the random thoughts from his mind.
After washing up, they left the room and went down a long flight of stairs. Si Qi habitually reached out to Chu Feng for a carry. Chu Feng hesitated, but after Si Qi's aggrieved cry of "Brother, don't you love me anymore?", he had no choice but to pick him up.
Was the little guy in my arms really this hot before? Why does the place where I hold him always feel warm?
Even though it's autumn and winter and the temperature is getting cooler, he clearly feels that it's exceptionally hot today.
The little devil in his arms even reached out and pinched his ear, teasing him, "Brother, did the morning glow fall on your face?"
Chu Feng: "…………"
Let him go.
