Chapter 422
Zhong Xian sneaked into Cui Yuankui's residence in the middle of the night to snatch his sister.
However, he failed to enter the door and was sent back by Cui Yuankui's magic.
Therefore, when Yu Xi saw Zhong Xian in the morning, he found that Zhong Xian was yawning and looked sleep-deprived.
However, although he did not get enough sleep, he still came early in the morning. At this moment, he was wearing an indigo-colored cloud-shaped robe with a gold-thread tasseled peace jade on his waist. He folded his arms and looked up at the swallows' newly built nest in the courtyard.
The early morning sunlight happened to fall on him, making his profile look peaceful and beautiful, like a frozen painting.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked over and saw Yu Xi coming out of the house. He immediately took two quick steps forward, picked her up and said:
"How was your rest here last night? Did Cui Yuankui bully you?"
Cui Yuankui snorted when he heard this, brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes, and walked out of the house.
"Brother Yuankui, it's okay Cui Yuankui, Zhong Wenyu, you are doing very well."
"What are you talking about? It's just a name. How can it affect our brotherly relationship? Brother Yuankui, please don't be petty."
Zhong Xian responded with a smile.
Cui Yuankui rolled his eyes.
Yu Xi then hugged Zhong Xian's neck and said crisply:
"Brother Yuankui didn't bully me and even bought me a lot of things. But you, brother, didn't you sleep well? You look a little tired."
When Zhong Xian heard Yu Xi's concern for her, she immediately became alert, her eyebrows curved brightly, and she said:
"I'm just tired in autumn. Come on, sister, I'll take you to have breakfast."
As he said this, he walked out holding Yu Xi, not forgetting Cui Yuankui:
"Brother Yuankui, would you like to come with us? The chef has made his signature braised food dipping sauce today. If we're late, Qingpei will eat it all."
Upon hearing this, Cui Yuankui immediately perked up and followed Zhong Xian, saying side by side with him, "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
On the way to Zhongxian Road, he didn't forget to tease Cui Yuankui, his tone gentle and elegant, as if he was chatting calmly about love and romance with others: "I saw that Brother Yuankui seemed very happy when he was called brother just now. Wasn't he complaining about the little girl's unknown background yesterday?"
He noticed it when Yu Xi called Cui Yuankui brother just now. He didn't expect that although Brother Yuankui seemed disgusted, he was actually very reserved.
Cui Yuankui patted Zhong Xian's shoulder and said, "Very good. Better than some people who still don't know my little sister's name but dare to call themselves my brother."
Zhong Xian then remembered that he didn't know Yu Xi's name yet.
Without waiting for him to ask, Yu Xi took the initiative to speak:
"Yuxi, the Xi of morning light."
This was the second time she told Zhong Xian her name.
When Zhong Xian heard Yu Xi's name, he was stunned at first, vaguely feeling that he had heard this name somewhere before.
"Xiao Xi'er?"
He blurted out unconsciously.
Yu Xi's eyelashes trembled twice, his vision suddenly became blurred, and he quickly lowered his eyes.
Zhong Xian laughed and said:
"Well, that's a nice name."
Cui Yuankui muttered in disdain: "Little sister still sounds better."
As they were chatting, they arrived at the main hall. The table was already filled with exquisite breakfast. Qingpei was sitting at the table, drinking fish soup.
Seeing them coming, Qingpei was about to speak, but he saw Yu Xi first. He was so scared that he ran away with the bowl in his arms, and then hid behind a vase in the main hall.
Cui Yuankui took two steps forward and pulled the person out, feeling very disappointed. "Why are you hiding? Let's see if she can eat you up! She's not even as tall as your legs!"
Qingpei was most afraid of strangers. When he was pulled out, he hurriedly hid behind Cui Yuankui, only sticking out half of his head to look at Yu Xi.
Who would have thought that Yu Xi was also looking at him. When he leaned forward, their eyes met. Qing Pei was so scared that he immediately retracted his head, tears welling up in his eyes.
Cui Yuankui covered his face, feeling tired.
Yu Xi didn't expect that Qingpei was like this before.
The Qingpei she saw was a man of few words, with deep eyes, as if covered by a layer of water that was impossible to see through.
But the Qingpei in front of him was obviously much younger, with innocent eyes a bit like Jizhi, and there was not a single scar on his body.
"This is my sister Xiao Xier!"
Zhong Xian was sitting down with Yu Xi in his arms. Seeing Qing Pei still hiding, he couldn't help but said softly, "Don't hide. She's seen you. If you don't come out, I'm going to finish my meal."
When Qingpei heard that it was Zhong Xian's sister, he hesitated and stuck his head out again. He saw that Yu Xi had turned her gaze away from him and was drinking a bowl of soup in her hand.
Well, it doesn't seem to be very offensive.
But she is a half-fox demon. Do fox demons eat mermaids?
Cui Yuankui knew what Qingpei was thinking as soon as he saw his troubled expression. He angrily pulled him to the table and sat him down. He also sat down and picked up his chopsticks and said, "Don't even think about it. Does she look like she can eat you? At most, she'll spit all over you."
Qingpei took a closer look and found that it seemed to be true. This fox was so small and not threatening at all!
He felt relieved all of a sudden, and even picked up a piece of fish for Yu Xi, saying in a sympathetic tone:
“Eat more fish and you will grow taller.”
Yu Xi: “…”
I'm sorry for being short.
Just wait and see when she grows up!
Seeing that Yu Xi was depressed, Zhong Xian held back his laughter and picked up a lot of delicious food for her. When he looked away and prepared to eat himself, he found that Yu Xi also picked up a lot of dishes for him, and they were all his favorites.
Especially some braised dishes, almost all of them were picked up.
He was stunned and couldn't help but look at Yu Xi again. Seeing that Yu Xi was eating her own food and ignoring him, he was in a very good mood.
Cui Yuankui watched helplessly as Yu Xi gave all the best food on the table to Zhong Xian. Unable to bear it any longer, he handed his own bowl to Yu Xi and said:
"Little sister, where's mine?"
Yu Xi:?
No, why does this scene look so familiar?
How come even though we’re in the secret realm, there are still brothers competing for favor!
Yu Xi skillfully picked up some dishes for Cui Yuankui as well. Seeing Cui Yuankui eating contentedly and telling Yu Xi about his favorite dishes, Yu Xi twitched his lips, but took note of them in his heart.
Zhong Xian narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, but before he could say anything, Cui Yuankui spoke first, "Wait a minute, little sister, come with me. I'll show you around Qiuluo City."
Zhong Xian could no longer bear it: "Brother Yuan Kui is hundreds of years old. It's not good for you to snatch my sister from me, your younger brother, like this?"
Cui Yuankui said calmly: "What's wrong with this? I'm the eldest brother and you're the younger brother. You should listen to me."
Zhong Xian said gently, "Even if you're the eldest brother, you should be reasonable. In terms of first come first served, Xiao Xier was the first to call me brother."
Cui Yuankui was even calmer: "Well, we should be reasonable. Reason means that I am the elder brother and you are the younger brother."
Zhong Xian: “…”
While Cui Yuankui and Zhong Xian were exchanging sharp words, Qingpei was very curious about this sister who suddenly appeared. He excitedly introduced himself to Xi in a low voice:
"Hello, sister. I'm Qingpei, a mermaid. I hate dark and slimy places. I like to eat fish and beautiful and shiny things. I'm beautiful, sister."
Yu Xi looked at him and asked silently: Why did you sleep with my sister too?
Qing Pei said confidently: "Brother Wen Yu and Brother Yuan Kui's sister is my sister, it's only natural!"
Yu Xi: Okay, okay, okay.
Anyway, wherever you go, it's a Shura field.
Fortunately, Qingpei in reality probably has no intention of recognizing her as his sister, otherwise her brother would definitely be furious if he knew.
Yu Xi thought thankfully.
