Quick Wear: The Law of Salvation of Cannon Fodder

"Xie Qi, why is your hair wet?"

Mrs. Xia, who was in the living room, turned to look at Xie Qi, her eyes full of confusion and concern.

However, when Xie Qi heard Mrs. Xia's question, a trace of barely perceptible embarrassment flashed across his face, and he subconsciously reached out and touched his wet hair.

Then he answered somewhat uncomfortably: "Um... I just washed my hair." His voice was not loud, but it revealed a hint of guilt.

"You have to blow dry your hair quickly after washing it, otherwise you'll easily catch a cold."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Auntie." Xie Qi nodded obediently.

Afterwards, when Xie Qi carefully dried his hair and sat contentedly at the dining table ready to enjoy his meal, the door was pushed open from the outside without any warning.

At this moment, it was Xia Xuan who appeared at the door. He was dressed in black, looking stern yet handsome.

He held documents in his left hand and a small black thing in his right hand.

The little cub seemed restless and kept twisting and struggling, its little feet flapping in the air and whimpering from time to time.

Since Xia Xuan left yesterday, Xie Qi let Xiao Hei out. When it comes to keeping pets, he prefers to let them roam freely, and he asked 948 to check Xiao Hei's information.

Creatures like Xiao Hei can run rampant in the empire except for his natural enemies on Ghost Star.

Therefore, Xie Qi let Xiao Hei move freely and wander around without any worries. After all, given his current situation living in the Xia family, it was not very suitable to bring a pet with him.

However, what he did not expect was that not long after he arrived at the Xia family, Xiao Hei was captured by Xia Xuan.

But Xie Qi didn't know the reason. In fact, Xia Xuan just happened to look up and saw Xiao Hei sleeping soundly on the big tree in front of his house when he returned from handling some business outside.

As for the fact that Xiao Hei had bitten him, Xia Xuan finally found an opportunity to take revenge, so much so that the adjutant who returned with Xia Xuan was surprised to find that their leader did not go into the house immediately after returning home, but was climbing a tree instead.

Xia Xuan climbed up the tree trunk cautiously and carefully, and when the opportunity arose, while Xiao Hei was still asleep, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Hei's two wings tightly, completely restraining its every move.

So, there was a scene where Xia Xuan carried Xiao Hei into the house.

At this moment, Xia Xuan stared straight at Xie Qi who was sitting at the table. Without any hesitation, he waved his arm and threw Xiao Hei in his hand to the other party.

"Here, for your dog."

Xiao Hei, whose wings had been trapped and unable to move, suddenly regained his freedom. He immediately flapped his wings and flew high, rushing straight towards Xie Qi and landing steadily on his thigh.

Xiao Hei seemed to have suffered great injustice, and buried his little head deeply in Xie Qi's belly.

Mrs. Xia, who was standing by, witnessed all this. She first looked at Xiao Hei in surprise, then turned to look at Xie Qi, and asked suspiciously, "Xie Qi, what on earth is going on?"

"This is the little guy I brought back from Dark Star. I plan to raise it."

"Why didn't you tell us about this before?"

Xie Qi hesitated for a moment before slowly explaining, "It's already troublesome for me to live in your house. If I bring a pet with me, it might not be appropriate. So I originally planned to just keep it outside."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xia couldn't help but smile amiably and consoled him, "Silly child, why are you so polite? From now on, just treat this place like your own home and raise whatever you want."

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Xia once again turned her gaze towards Xiao Hei, a trace of worry and doubt on her face, and asked cautiously: "But speaking of which, is this little guy in danger?"

Xie Qi quickly waved his hand and said, "Aunt Xia, don't worry. It's arguably the most vulnerable creature on the entire Dark Star, and it only eats vegetarian food. It definitely won't pose any threat to humans."

After hearing Xie Qi's assurance, Mrs. Xia nodded as if relieved, indicating that she felt relieved.

Just like that, after some discussion and negotiation, Xiao Hei became a member of this family and officially integrated into the Xia family.

Then, several people sat down at the dining table, ready to enjoy a sumptuous lunch. Xia Xuan had just sat down on his chair when he casually placed the items in his hand on the table, and then he couldn't wait to devour his food.

Xia Houyuan, who was standing by, caught a glimpse of the document Xia Xuan had placed on the table and couldn't help but ask, "Is everything done?"

Hearing his father's question, Xia Xuan hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth that he had not yet chewed, and responded hastily: "Yeah, it's done." As he spoke, he handed the document on the table to Xie Qi.

Xie Qi was taken aback when he saw this unexpected document. After coming to his senses, he first glanced at Xiahou Yuan before reaching out to take it.

However, the moment he opened the file, a look of astonishment flashed across his face, for it turned out to be an adoption document.

At this moment, he slowly raised his head, his eyes meeting those of the Xia family. He opened his lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can I...can I not sign?"

"What's wrong? Don't you want to be a child of our Xia family?" Mrs. Xia, who was sitting next to Xie Qi, looked concerned and asked Xie Qi in a gentle tone.

However, Xie Qi just shook his head silently. After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "No, of course I am willing. But... can we talk about this later?"

There was an indescribable complex emotion in his eyes, which made people feel pity.

Xia Houyuan, who was standing by, felt a pang of relief when he saw Xie Qi in such a difficult situation. He gently reached out and patted Xie Qi on the shoulder.

"It's okay," he consoled her. "If you don't want to sign now, don't force yourself. It was our fault for not discussing this with you first."

Xiahou Yuan's words were full of understanding and tolerance, trying to ease Xie Qi's inner anxiety.

Mrs. Xia and Xiahou Yuan originally believed that by going through the adoption procedures, Xie Qi would be able to truly feel the warmth of family and get rid of the feeling of being dependent on others.

But now it seems that their good intentions have brought trouble to Xie Qi. The couple looked at each other, and a trace of helplessness and pity flashed in each other's eyes.

Perhaps Xie Qi had suffered so much in the Ye family that he developed a strong resistance to the adoption. Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan and Madam Xia felt even more depressed.

But what they didn't know was that Xie Qi didn't sign entirely because of Xia Ze. As long as he signed, wouldn't he legally become Xia Ze's younger brother? What would they do in the future?

What's more, if he doesn't sign now, when he and Xia Ze are together, he will still be the son of the Xia family. That's why Xie Qi told Madam Xia to wait. After a long time, he will be the son of the Xia family without signing.

Xia Xuan, who had witnessed the three people talking for a long time, finally couldn't hold back his inner urge and interrupted, "Oh, there are countless people who want to be my brother, but I haven't agreed to any of them. Now you have the chance to acknowledge me as your brother, why don't you agree?"

"Could it be that, facing a handsome, elegant, and handsome elder brother like me, you don't have even the slightest bit of affection?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Xuan finished speaking, he was met with a cold stare from his old father, accompanied by a scolding: "Shut up and eat!"

However, in response to Xia Xuan's words, Xie Qi only smiled faintly and did not make any response, but he really did not expect that Xia Xuan was so narcissistic.
