Chapter 293: After revision: Chapter 293 Update 4
Bi Xia leaned against the door frame, looking at Bi Xiaoyuan and Xu Renfei with a half-smile. She exchanged a glance with Qin Zhan, and the two of them walked forward in unison. One lowered his head to look at Bi Xiaoyuan, who dared not lift his head and was fidgeting with his little fingers, while the other half-squinted his phoenix eyes and gave Xu Renfei a look, silently conveying his thoughts.
Seeing the situation was not good, Bi Xiaoyuan blinked and suddenly said, "Brother Feifei, don’t talk to me anymore. I need to take care of Mom."
As he said this, he looked in mock surprise at his mother, who had woken up and was now watching him with amusement. Bi Xiaoyuan paused, realizing that his mom had been awake for a while and was deliberately being uncooperative by shrugging her shoulders and closing her eyes, adopting an ’I don’t care’ attitude.
Bi Xiaoyuan: ...
He suddenly jumped into Bi Xia’s arms, wrapping his legs around Bi Xia’s waist and clinging on tightly, acting spoiled, "Brother, brother, I love you the most~~"
"No amount of chocolate can win over your adorable Little Bun!" Bi Xiaoyuan hugged Bi Xia tightly, blinking his eyes cutely, "It was all Brother Feifei’s fault; he told Xiaoyuan to say that!"
Bi Xia chuckled softly, tapping the spoiled Bi Xiaoyuan lightly with his finger, saying nothing but accepting Bi Xiaoyuan’s even more enthusiastic affection.
Xu Renfei widened his eyes, looking at Bi Xiaoyuan, who had pushed the blame onto him, and pointed at himself with an open mouth—Damn it! I declare my innocence!
When he met Qin Zhan’s phoenix eyes, Xu Renfei wisely swallowed his words. Well, seeing Mr. Qin’s murderous look, I better keep my mouth shut, or it’ll be worse for me.
Glancing at the silent Xu Renfei, Bi Xia bent down to pick up Bi Xiaoyuan and brought him over to the always smiling Xia Shi’s side. "How are you feeling?"
Looking at Bi Xia, Xia Shi gently raised his hand to hold Bi Xia’s small hand. Watching the siblings, he smiled, "It’s okay, it’s just a passing moment. I’ll be fine in a while, don’t worry."
Setting Bi Xiaoyuan down, Bi Xia bent down to adjust Xia Shi’s bed to a slightly higher position and held Xia Shi’s hand again, saying softly, "I was so worried, really worried. I was so scared something would happen to you..."
"Mom, if anything like this happens again, don’t worry about them. Just take Bi Xiaoyuan and run, okay? Leave the rest to me!"
Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Xia Shi patted Bi Xia’s head, "Okay, I got it... But I don’t want to be a burden to you, Xiaxia. It should be me protecting the both of you, shouldn’t it?"
"How could you be a burden?" Bi Xia smiled gently, "You’ve always protected us, and it’s our turn to protect you... This won’t happen again..."
Xia Shi slightly frowned, "Xiaxia... did you go looking for Bi Qingzhi and his group?"
Bi Xia paused, just about to admit it when Qin Zhan’s voice came from behind, "Auntie, don’t worry. I went with Little Nine. Those people have an underground casino. Little Nine and I called to report it, and we were making related statements yesterday, which is why we didn’t come back."
Turning his head in surprise, Bi Xia looked at Qin Zhan, who lied without changing his expression. His phoenix eyes fell on the boy’s astonished little face. His thin lips curved slightly as he took a deep breath and looked back at Xia Shi. "Auntie, hello, I’m Qin Zhan."
From the start, Xia Shi had noticed the person standing with Bi Xia. This person’s presence was too strong. Even in a room full of extraordinary people, the young man’s aura stood out, a single glance enough to command respect.
Hearing Qin Zhan’s explanation, Xia Shi felt puzzled but couldn’t help but believe it. Indeed, when Xia Shi heard Qin Zhan’s introduction, she realized he was the Qin Zhan that Xiaxia often mentioned.
Xia Shi smiled, "Hello, so you’re the Fourth Brother Xiaxia talks about. Thank you so much for taking care of Xiaxia. With you by her side, I’m at ease. Sometimes Xiaxia is too impulsive, and I really appreciate your help."
With a touch of softness on his stern face, Qin Zhan smiled, "It’s my duty."
Xia Shi smiled, "I’m also reassured knowing Xiaxia has you brothers."
Qin Zhan politely answered Xia Shi’s questions, wiping the sweat from his palms when no one was watching. Meanwhile, Xu Renfei pouted, thinking, "Auntie, you’re so naive. He’s not just trying to be your eldest son’s brother; he’s eyeing the spot beside him too."
