Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

Li Xingchen remembered the scene during the day and reached out to rub Meiqiu's head.

"Thank you, Coal Ball, for protecting me during the day."

The coal ball squinted its eyes in enjoyment, and the whole ball became bouncy, soft and cute.

At this time, Zero came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, with water droplets still dripping from his hair.

"Xingchen, go wash up."

Li Xingchen nodded, stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Zero walked to the balcony and picked up a small coal ball with two fingers.

"You're in charge of watching tonight."

Meiqiu blinked twice, looking a little silly and cute.

What is this for? It was split out from him. If there is anything, can't he just give instructions in his mind? Is there any need to say it out loud?

However, it is still worth being happy that it can be absorbed back later.

Zero put it back on the balcony and closed the glass door when he returned to his room.

Li Xingchen picked up the bathrobe and walked into the bathroom, which was filled with the hot steam and faint fragrance after No. 0's bath.

Zero's appearance just now was really tempting.

Li Xingchen took a deep breath, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and the scene of kissing Zero during the day involuntarily emerged in his mind.

The touch of that moment seemed to still linger between his lips, making his cheeks slightly hot.

I quickly turned on the shower head, and the sound of rushing water filled my ears.

Li Xingchen felt that his inner restlessness seemed to be covered up. While breathing a sigh of relief, he thought about Zero even more unscrupulously.

Every expression and every movement of Zero kept replaying in his mind. The gentle eyes, the slightly upturned corners of the mouth, and the plump lips all made his heart beat faster.

His hand unconsciously touched his lips, as if he could still feel Zero's breath, that soft touch...

Li Xingchen's breathing became rapid and his body gradually responded.

When he noticed it, his first reaction was that he was growing up.

Then I felt ashamed and tried to push these distracting thoughts out of my mind, but found that I had no control over them at all.

Water poured down from above, soaking his hair and body, but it could not extinguish the fire in his heart.

Li Xingchen closed his eyes and let his thoughts drift.

He recalled every detail of his acquaintance with Zero, and the wonderful times they had spent together, which flashed through his mind like scenes from a movie.

They practiced together in the morning sunshine and chatted together under the stars at night. Zero was always by his side. Unknowingly, Zero had become the most important person in his life.

Li Xingchen's heart was full of contradictions and entanglements.

He has matured mentally in two lifetimes combined and knows exactly what his feelings for Zero are, but he doesn't know whether Zero feels the same way about him.

He was afraid that his feelings would cause trouble to Zero, and he was even more afraid that he would lose a "brother" who truly treated him well.

Zero obviously didn't understand the emotions between humans. He discovered it when they were secretly watching Lin Yin and Yun Shang together that day.

Zero didn't react at all throughout the whole process, as if he thought it was a very ordinary thing.

In fact, his original plan was to continue living like this with Zero until they both grew old. He knew he could do it.

It's just that too many things happened today, and the emotions that had been suppressed deep in his heart now surged into his heart uncontrollably like a tide, making him unable to resist.

Li Xingchen knew that he had been poisoned too deeply.

This love buried deep in his heart often makes him feel happy, but also makes him feel scared.

Li Xingchen silently adjusted the water temperature to the coldest, gently closed his eyes, and let the water wash over his face.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xingchen finally finished his shower. He turned off the shower, dried himself with a towel, and put on a bathrobe.

Standing in front of the mirror, he looked at his face which couldn't be more normal and sighed softly.

Li Xingchen walked out of the bathroom and saw Zero meditating and regulating his breathing.

Zero heard the voice and looked up to see Li Xingchen coming out. He said softly, "Are you done washing? Come and meditate."

Li Xingchen nodded, not daring to look Zero in the eyes. He walked to the bed and sat down.

Zero seemed to notice something was wrong with Li Xingchen, and a puzzled look appeared on his face. After Li Xingchen sat down cross-legged beside him, he asked with concern, "Xingchen, what's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind?"

Li Xingchen raised his head and looked into Zero's eyes. An impulse surged in his heart. He wanted to tell Zero how he felt, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

"I... was thinking about that mysterious creature today."

Zero was thoughtful.

"That mysterious creature today is most likely the same as you suspected. When he was about to self-destruct, I felt that the energy properties in his body were somewhat chaotic, probably because it hadn't been properly integrated."

Li Xingchen nodded gently, the image of the mysterious creature resurfacing in his mind. Its strange appearance and powerful strength made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

"Brother, why do you think it suddenly appeared here?" Li Xingchen couldn't help but ask.

Zero was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Perhaps this place is relatively remote and not under the control of aristocratic families. People have been missing for so many days, and no one has come to deal with it."

Li Xingchen thought for a moment, "It's not that the major families won't deal with it, but if any family takes action first, it will be seen by the other families as expanding their territory, thus causing conflict. However, if we leave it alone, it will bring suffering to the innocent people in this city."

The strength of the various aristocratic families has long lost its glory as in ancient times, and many of the current aristocratic families are just empty shells.

It is rare to find a family like the Lei family that has a law enforcement team.

Most families are like the Hu family, which gradually declines and is forgotten by the world.

Zero patted Li Xingchen on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, didn't the academy ask us to come over now?"

"The academy should understand these inside stories, so they let the students handle it. In our team alone, there are several children from aristocratic families. Everyone will share in the merits and faults. Moreover, the academy selects people based on their points. Even if some families don't get a chance, they will only blame their children for not having enough points, and won't blame the academy."

Zero nodded confusedly, as if he understood.

Li Xingchen laughed.

Zero has a simple mind and doesn't care much about interpersonal relationships. Maybe it's because he is an artificial human. Zero is more focused on improving his own strength and has no desire for power and interests.

In my brother's world, perhaps the only thing he can do is to grow up safely, become strong, and have unconditional trust and dependence on himself.

Li Xingchen looked at Zero's eyes, which were as pure as a child, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He reached out and touched Zero's head, and said involuntarily: "Brother, you don't have to think about these complicated things. We just need to do what we should do."

After rubbing Zero's head, Zero was stunned, and Li Xingchen was also stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, only Zero had been allowed to rub his head. He had always been the image of a well-behaved little brother. When had he ever been so bold?
