Chapter 393: Interpersonal Interactions (3)
In an instant.
Shi Sui’s expression stiffened slightly.
Even Xiao Naofu was so frightened that its tail curled up.
Xiao Naofu and Shi Sui made eye contact and shockingly, they didn’t make a single sound.
Fortunately, her brothers, who were outside the door, were all gentlemanly enough not to barge into her room without her permission.
“She should be sleeping, right?” Xiang Qi asked with uncertainty.
Xiang Yu crinkled his nose and sniffled a little. “It seems that she has made supper.”
Xiang Qi was elated. “I’ll go to the kitchen to take a look!”
Xiang Yu followed behind him, afraid that he would sneakily take a few bites of the food.
The two went out of the kitchen, only to discover that there were indeed dishes in the refrigerator!
“!”
Xiang Qi suppressed his voice and exclaimed, “Xiang Yu, keep quiet, let’s share the loot!”
With one hand in his pocket, Xiang Yu pressed down the hood of his hoodie with the other hand, he said indifferently, “Big Brother is outside.”
“…”
Xiang Qi immediately became cowardly.
If the vicious Xiang Li was outside, he would still dare to take the gamble and risk death; but Xiang Chen was there too…
Xiang Qi said righteously, “Am I the type to steal food behind my brother’s back? The most important thing about a family is sharing!”
Xiang Yu wouldn’t believe his nonsense.
‘Since we’re here, let’s just eat.’
The four brothers surrounded the small dish that was meant to be paired with wine and sat down. Xiang Li then proceeded to get some wine from the wine cellar.
Xiang Yu was about to compete soon, so he naturally abstained from drinking.
Xiang Qi tugged him and said, “Xiang Yu, pour wine for your brothers!”
Xiang Yu glanced at him.
Xiang Qi barked, “What are you staring at?! Keep staring and I’ll beat you up! You’re the youngest, of course you should be pouring us wine.”
Xiang Yu said with disdain, “Why don’t you say such things when Xiang Yi is around?”
He had never seen Xiang Qi bossing Xiang Yi around before and would only ever boss Xiang Yu around just because he was his third brother.
Xiang Qi said self-righteously, “How can you compare to Xiang Yi?”
Xiang Yu was speechless.
‘Fine, there’s nothing wrong.’
He poured wine for his brothers expressionlessly.
…
In the bedroom.
Xiang Yi stared at Shi Sui for a long time, seemingly having recognized him. She buried her head in his chest and sniffed his shirt.
Shi Sui’s body tensed up while a terrifyingly gloomy gaze filled his eyes.
After confirming that it was the familiar scent of laundry detergent, Xiang Yi slept with peace of mind.
“…”
‘Does this mean that she doesn’t take me for an outsider?’
That realization made Shi Sui feel amused and helpless.
He broke free from Xiang Yi’s arms and pinched her cheeks.
Xiao Naofu meowed in protest.
—— [Be a human, you dog-like man!”
Shi Sui sneered. “If I’m inhumane, I would have put you in a pot and stewed you a long time ago.”
Xiao Naofu snuggled into Xiang Yi’s arms and itsher thin eyelids pounded twitching rapidly when itshe looked at Shi Sui.
‘Seriously… it’s asking for a beating.’
After a few minutes, the anger in his heart dissipated, and he gently pulled the duvet up for Xiang Yi before walking along the balcony to return to his room.
…
In the living room.
Xiang Chen was still frowning after downing two glasses of wine.
He put down the wine glass and walked toward Shi Sui’s room before knocking on the door expressionlessly.
After a few moments, the door was pulled open.
Shi Sui was wearing only a pair of dark blue pants and wiping his body with a towel. “You’re back. What’s the matter?”
Xiang Chen looked over into the room.
The large bed in the room was neat and clean. Even the thin blankets were stacked neatly.
Xiang Chen felt relieved, and he said with an austere expression, “Rest early.”
Afterward, he heard the sounds of stumbling footsteps coming from behind him.
Xiang Chen turned around, only to see that his younger sister had walked out of the room with a soft pillow in her arms. She walked toward Shi Sui’s room, seemingly sleepwalking. She accidentally bumped into him and fell into his arms…
