"Xianxian, your brother is back."

Shu Lin arrived at his room early in the morning.

The thought of them saying that Shu Lin liked him, and the intimate tone in which they spoke, gave Shu Xian goosebumps.

"Brother, you've worked hard."

Shu Xian got up in a second.

"Not staying in bed anymore? So good!"

"Hehe, yeah."

He dared not stay in bed too long. He remembered how Shu Lin would rub his hands and feet before, and then coax him to get up and wash up...

He needs to end this intimate relationship as soon as possible.

"Then get up quickly, it's time for breakfast."

"Ah."

Shu Lin looked at him with some confusion. Usually, Shu Xian would refuse to eat this or that for breakfast, and he would have to coax her for a long time before she would eat.

You ate everything so clean today.

"Xianxian, what's wrong?"

Shu Lin reached out to touch his forehead.

Shu Xian leaned back.

"I'm fine."

The man's hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, twitched and then retracted; Shu Xian was avoiding him.

"Um, brother, I already told you I'm fine."

Was he being too obvious? Is Shu Lin having trouble adjusting?

"Brother eat."

Shu Xian gave him the peeled eggs.

"Thank you, Amaranth."

Shu Lin took the eggs.

Shu Xian has changed so much in just a few days.

"How's your learning going with them?"

Shu Lin asked.

"It's great, Brother Xiao Qi and Brother Su Ting are both very good at teaching."

"Yes, I saw Tang Ke's post on WeChat Moments."

"I never expected that Xianxian could get along with so many people."

Shu Xian is really likable. Even Xiao Qi, who is so cold, Su Ting, who has such a bad temper, and Tang Ke, whose attitude towards Shu Xian is getting better and better.

The man's large hand stroked the top of his head.

Shu Xian resisted the urge to run away; he didn't want to make it too obvious.

Shu Lin felt his body stiffen and silently withdrew her hand.

Did they say something to him?

He really hated this feeling; he didn't like Shu Xian avoiding him.

"Is it tiring for Xianxian to go on variety shows? If it is, you don't have to go."

He can support him for life.

"It's tiring, but I have to make money."

If anything unexpected happens in the future, I'll still have to support myself.

"make money?"

Shu Lin frowned. "The Shu family's money is all yours. Xianxian doesn't need to work so hard."

"As long as it's his, that's good enough," Shu Xian could only reply.

“That’s different. I want to earn it myself.”

Shu Lin considered all possible reasons and ruled them out one by one, but his final thought made him pause.

Did Amaranth find out?

"Has Amaranth heard something?"

"No."

Shu Xian feigned indifference; it seemed that Shu Lin knew he was not related to her by blood when he asked the question.

"Xianxian, no matter what, I will always be your brother."

Shu Lin sounded a little anxious. Did Shu Xian want to distance herself from him?

"Just my older brother?"

Shu Xian looked into his eyes and asked.

Shu Lin's eyes darted around for a moment before she said:

"Yes, just my older brother."

Since he's the older brother, at least he can be closer to him. Let's talk about the future later.

"Will my brother find me a sister-in-law?"

Shu Xian probed.

Shu Lin remained silent for a moment.

"I don't have that plan yet. Even if you do, I'll still treat Xianxian well."

"Okay?"

"it is good."

Shu Lin's words dispelled Shu Xian's doubts; he would talk to his sister-in-law to explain that he was safe.

"Xianxian, we've come to save you."

Tang Ke sent him a message.

Shu Xian: ?

Tang Ke: They're at the door.

I heard the doorbell ring right after I received the message.

What is he here for?

After opening the door, Shu Xian wanted to ask, "What are you doing here?"

Tang Ke, Su Ting, Xiao Qi, and even Huo Beiting came.

Shu Xian looked puzzled.

"What happened, brothers?"

"We've come to rescue you."

Tang Ke entered the room and whispered as he passed by him.

Su Ting and Xiao Qi both gave him a wink.

???

Shu Xian tilted her head and looked at Huo Beiting, "Brother Beiting?"

"Xianxian, I came to see your brother and also to check on you."

"Oh."

Huo Beiting vigorously rubbed the fluffy head that he had missed for so long.

[Huo Beiting's 'Gaze' +5, Current Progress: 22/60]

Shu Xian had intended to pull it open, but upon hearing 006's announcement, she decided to let him be.

The group sat in the living room, staring at each other.

"What are you doing here?"

Shu Lin came downstairs.

"Let's review what Xianxian has learned with her."

Su Ting and Xiao Qi said in unison.

How long did they practice to be able to speak so in unison?

"how about you?"

Shu Lin looked at Tang Ke.

"Me? I'll stay with Xianxian. The two of them are quite strict when they're teaching."

Tang Ke pointed to the two people sitting to the side.

Su Ting: ...

Xiao Qi: ...

"Really, Amaranth?"

Shu Lin looked at Shu Xian.

"Hmm? Uh... um."

……

Do they think Shu Lin would do something to him when they say they're saving him?

"The things we give you are all limited editions and rare finds, can't that make your attitude any better?"

Shu Lin had no idea when her friend had become like this...

"can!"

"can!"

After answering, the two glared resentfully at Tang Ke, thinking how incompetent their teammate was at making excuses.

"Of course they can. With me supervising them, you can rest assured."

Ignoring their stares, Tang Ke patted his chest and assured Shu Lin.

"Heh, Xianxian, Beiting is still the best to you."

"right?"

Why is Huo Beiting getting involved?

"Hehe, all the older brothers are very nice to me."

Shu Xian gave an awkward laugh.

"Well... let's go back to our rooms and study first."

Shu Xian gave the others a wink.

If we stay any longer, the lie will become impossible to cover up.
