"Brother Lin Qi...you have such a cruel heart." Zhou Xuan said as he subconsciously tightened the strength in his hands.

"Hiss... It hurts so much..." Lin Qi looked at the man who suddenly went crazy, his little face instantly became wrinkled, like a little bun being kneaded. He tried to break free from the man's restraints, but found that his strength was so small.

"What message? Let me go! It hurts so much." The boy stretched out his little hand to pull away the man's big hand that was pinching his chin, and said angrily.

The man relaxed his grip slightly upon hearing this, but his tone was still very bad.

"I left you so many messages and rewards, but you ignored them all. Brother Lin Qi, how could you be so cruel? Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"

When the man said this, he became more and more out of control. He let go of the boy's chin with his big hand, and hugged the boy instead, holding him tightly in his arms.

The system's heart instantly jumped when it heard the man talking about rewards. It looked at the boy and the man nervously, afraid that what had happened before would be exposed.

The young man looked at the somewhat frantic Zhou Xuan and said timidly, "I didn't ignore you on purpose. I really didn't see your message and... reward."

Lin Qi pursed her lips and said a little aggrievedly: "I have been in the dungeon recently, so I didn't know you were looking for me..."

"Really?" The man heard that the boy did not block him intentionally, and his dark eyes stared at the boy closely.

"Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to anyone..." said a little kid without blushing or beating his heart.

"That's good, brother, you don't know how much I miss you." Zhou Xuan said as he lowered his head and kissed the boy's fair cheek. His words and actions were very passionate, like a proud big wolfdog.

Seeing this, Lin Qi couldn't help but feel proud, and said to the system in his mind, "Zhou Xuan is so easy to appease. He is still a younger brother after all."

[Song Yixuan is also a younger brother.] The system reminded him subtly.

When the boy heard this, his face stiffened instantly. He curled his lips and said in a stern tone, "He's a pervert!"

"Brother, did you just come out of the dungeon? I heard that you almost got stuck in the dungeon before, it scared me to death." Zhou Xuan hugged the little guy in his arms, put his head on the other's shoulder, and said stickyly.

"Well... I just came out, how about you?" Lin Qi tried to push the man away, but the man was like a sticky candy and could not be moved no matter how hard he pushed. Helplessly, the boy could only let the man hold him.

"Me too! I didn't expect to meet my brother right after I came out. Maybe God took pity on me and gave me this fate." Zhou Xuan raised his head, looked at the boy affectionately, and pinched the boy's cheek with his big hand.

Lin Qi stared at the man in front of him, who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar. Why had he suddenly become so smooth-talking? The young man's clear eyes looked at the man, feeling a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

As if sensing the boy's gaze, Zhou Xuan lowered his head slightly, his gaze slowly landing on the somewhat uneasy boy in his arms. A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he quipped softly, "Why are you looking at me like that, brother?"

"No, nothing!" Lin Qi's face turned red, and he quickly waved his hands and stammered.

Zhou Xuan seemed completely unaware of the boy's unusual behavior. He remained warm and friendly, smiling and suggesting, "Brother, have you eaten yet? How about we go get something to eat together?"

Lin Qi's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly replied stumblingly, "I, I've already eaten."

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. Just as he finished saying this, a clear and audible "gurgling" sound suddenly came from his stomach, and the little kid blushed instantly.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, revealing a half-smile. He said calmly, "Oh? Brother, you haven't eaten enough yet."

Faced with the man's teasing, Lin Qi's face flushed with anxiety. He opened his mouth to explain something, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Zhou Xuan mercilessly.

"It's okay, I'll take my brother to dinner." Zhou Xuan said as he stretched out a big, strong hand and put it around the boy's slender shoulders without saying anything.

Although Lin Qi tried to struggle and resist, the power disparity was too great, and he could only let this domineering man lead him straight to a restaurant on the roadside.

The boy had taken off his hat at this time. As he walked in, his delicate and beautiful little face attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

Zhou Xuan keenly noticed the strangeness of the people around him. His eyes, which were originally as cold as ice, instantly flashed with a cold light and swept around like a sharp arrow.

Under this chilling gaze, those who had previously stared at the boy unscrupulously lowered their heads like frightened birds, no longer daring to have the slightest intention of spying.

Then, the man held the boy's slender and soft hand tightly and carefully led him to a quiet place by the window to sit down.

The man had a gentle smile on his face, and he asked the young man in a soft voice, "Brother, what do you want to eat?" As he spoke, he gently handed the carefully prepared menu in his hand to the young man.

Lin Qi stretched out her slender white fingers and took the menu, but just casually ordered two dishes and quickly handed it back to the man.

He raised his round eyes, looked at the man opposite him, and said in a soft voice: "That's enough...you can have the rest."

The man smiled and nodded. After taking the menu, he carefully considered and selected a few dishes before handing the menu to the waiter waiting nearby with satisfaction.

After finishing the order, the man raised his chin gracefully, and looked at the boy opposite him with a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, full of affection.

However, the boy seemed a little uncomfortable with the man's intense gaze. He lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding the man's direct gaze. His hands unconsciously pinched the corners of his clothes, stroking them gently. He pursed his lips and asked the man nervously, "Was that dungeon you passed difficult?"

"It's okay. How about my brother?" Zhou Xuan asked with a smile.

"I'm okay too..." the boy answered a little awkwardly, his voice so soft that it seemed as if only he could hear it.

As soon as the boy finished speaking, the whole atmosphere seemed to be suddenly frozen and fell into an awkward silence.
