When the idea of killing Qin Kaiyi came to being, Shen Feixiao didnât have even a thread of hesitation. He silently observed the sleeping Qin Kaiyi, and his heart was extremely calm.
His shixiong, he really had a good appearance. Even though he was heavily injured and his face was wan, it did not affect that unique and unmatched magnificence. His nose bridge seemed like it had been carved out with a knife, and his lips were beautifully shaped. The tightly shut corners of his eyes inclined upwards into red phoenix eyes, and those long eyelashes⊠because he had been injured so heavily, the originally elegant and cold expression now carried fragility. Whoever saw this scene would never think that the person lying on the bed could be so vile. (T/N: red phoenix eyes = eyes whose outer corners incline upwards. The eyes themselves are not actually red.)
Shen Feixiao didnât understand why Qin Shi wanted him to die. When Liu Lingâer told him the truth about his entering the secret realm, there was an explosion in his head. Liu Lingâer said, Feixiao, Feixiao, this time you must enter the secret realm with caution⊠Shixiong, he⊠doesnât seem to like you very much.
Doesnât like me very much? Hearing this sentence, Shen Feixiao couldnât even make a bitter smile. He sat expressionlessly on the bed, looking at Liu Lingâerâs concerned expression and chattering mouth. Her eyes were worried and sad, as if she was really worried about Shen Feixiao.
Liu Lingâer really worried about himself? Shen Feixiao almost laughed grimly when he thought of this. His shimei, she truly didnât understand reality. She didnât understand what it meant for him to enter the secret realm. She didnât even understand what she said, and she even more so didnât understand what her words would later bring to the Qin Shi who took care of her.
Knowing the so-called truth, how could Shen Feixiao not hate him? He looked at the Qin Shi in front of him, and his whole body was shaking⊠He didnât understand why Qin Shi hated him so much, why did he have to let him die? Shen Feixiao couldnât figure it out and was too lazy to think about it again. After being insulted by Yan Yi before entering the secret realm, he finally made killing Qin Shi one of his goals. Shen Feixiao was terrifyingly stubborn. When someone terrifyingly stubborn also had incomparably great luck, the combination of the two had terrible effects. Even an interloper like Qin Kaiyi could be easily taken care of.
Shen Feixiao calmly extended his hand to the sleeping Qin Kaiyi. Qin Kaiyiâs neck was slender and fair, and it felt good to the touch. Shen Feixiaoâs small hands were covered with scars and calluses. A 12-year-old child with such a pair of hands definitely did not meet with pleasant experiences.
Shen Feixiaoâs hand began to slowly exert more force. His face was still expressionless, and there were no fluctuations to be seen in his expression. One couldnât tell from looking at him that he was doing a sinful thing. Of course, perhaps in Shen Feixiaoâs heart killing Qin Kaiyi was not a sin. He just wanted to live⊠just wanted to liveâŠ
Because he started to gradually tighten his grip, Shen Feixiao watched Qin Kaiyi, who had been sleeping, start to struggle slightly. Qin Kaiyiâs pretty forehead began to wrinkle, and he gripped Shen Feixiao weakly, trying to pry apart the hands of the culprit who wanted to suffocate him.
How could Shen Feixiao let Qin Kaiyi do as he wished so easily? His small hands exerted force again, and then watched Qin Kaiyiâs face begin to turn blue.
EnâŠ? A strange feeling against the palm of a hand suddenly stopped Shen Feixiaoâs movements. He lowered his head and wanted to see what was touching with his hand, when his expression changed suddenly. He no longer paid attention to the unconscious Qin Kaiyi and hurriedly left through the door.
Just a moment after Shen Feixiao left, Liu Lingâer, who was carrying a bamboo basket, came in from the door.
In the past five months, the girl seemed to have matured a lot, and she did not have that consistently naive expression. Instead, she somewhat carried a bit of worry on her face. The basket in her arms was full of fresh vegetables and fruits, and also some bottles of what looked like medicine.
In any case, Liu Lingâer was still very close to her shixiong.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the unconscious Qin Kaiyi. She sighed slightly, placed the basket on the table, and then sat on Qin Kaiyiâs bedside.
âShixiong.â Looking at the ugly complexion on the bed, Liu Lingâer looked bleak: âIf you knew it would be like this, would you choose to enter the secret realm? After so many entered, only two came out⊠and they didnât bring anything out with them.â
Qin Kaiyi would naturally not answer Liu Lingâerâs words.
âThe shidi also came out.â Liu Lingâerâs expression softened for a moment when she mentioned Shen Feixiao, and it seemed that she felt pretty good about her shidi: âWake up soon⊠since you havenât, shifuâs brows have never relaxed. â
After slowly chattering in her long-winded way, Liu Lingâer saw that Qin Kaiyi had no signs of waking up, sighed, and then got up and left. She would never know⊠just because of her halfhearted care, she stopped a bloody incident and saved her shixiongâs life.

When Qin Kaiyi woke up again, he felt that his body was not his own. Somehow, his limbs were sore. The only thing to be thankful for was that the poisonous insect that had been causing trouble since leaving the secret realm finally quieted down. Qin Kaiyi moved a little. After moving his body, he found that his neck felt hot and pained.
âFuck!â Shouting with a hoarse voice, Qin Kaiyi drew back the corners of his mouth and touched his neck: âYan Gu, why does my neck hurt so much.â
Yan Gu, who spoke very little after coming out of the secret realm, listened to Qin Kaiyiâs inquiry. He answered Qin Kaiyiâs question after being silent for a long time: âYour beloved dear son wanted to strangle you to death.â
â⊠What?â Qin Kaiyi didnât react for a while.
âHe wanted to strangle you.â Yan Guâs tone was very plain: âAt that time, I couldnât wake you up no matter what. I thought youâd be offed just like that. Unexpectedly before your life was cut short, that little shimei came to visit.â
âHe wanted to strangle me to death?â Qin Kaiyiâs expression was a little silly: âHe⊠how could heâŠâ
âHe didnât know it was a mask.â Yan Gu said impatiently: âIf you tell him that itâs a mask, heâll probably hug and start to kiss, how could he strangle.â
âThatâs right, haâŠâ Smiling with embarrassment, Qin Kaiyi touched his nose shyly: ââŠâ
âLook at this moronic look.â Yan Gu said with derision: âWerenât your feelings just hurt by your son a bit, ha, itâs no wonder that the son wants to strangle him. If one meets such a schizophrenic father, one would probably only think of strangling.â
ââŠâ Qin Kaiyi was speechless. He actually deluded himself into thinking that Yan Gu could understand his daddy long legs psychology (T/N: 1912 novel about a secret benefactor & a college girl)⊠But Yan Gu was right. His masked identity was never meant to help âQin Shiâ win favor.
âAhâŠâ Qin Kaiyi was relieved after thinking about it. Although he didnât know why Shen Feixiao hated him to such a degree, he also understood⊠wasnât the ultimate meaning of his existence to be killed by Shen Feixiao? As for the method, whatâs the difference?
âAi, say, Qin Shi, what kind of girl did you provoke to create someone like Shen Feixiao?â Yan Gu saw Qin Kaiyiâs expression slightly improve, and he couldnât resist teasing him again: âLook at Shen Feixiao. He has to be nine, ten years old, his age doesnât seem too old, but this youngsterâs love debt isnât small.â (T/N: love debt: karmic consequences of a love affair).
â==â Qin Kaiyi expressed serious doubts about Yan Guâs brain structure. He almost wanted to roll his eyes, but he resisted for the sake of his image: âSaying that he is my son is just a joke, donât be so serious about it.â
âOhââ Yan Gu lengthened his voice and said deliberately: âIt was actually just a joke, then why be so good to Shen Feixiao? He is not a son.â
âIâve taken a fancy to him, is that enough.â To be enraged from humiliation was a terrifying thing; Qin Kaiyi blurted out this kind of a sentence.
ââŠâ Yan Gu was silent for a moment, and after a while he cautiously said: âIs it serious?â
ââŠâ Qin Kaiyi wanted to express that he would be a fool if he continued to pay attention to Yan Gu.
However, Yan Gu regarded Qin Kaiyiâs silence as his default. He observed Qin Kaiyi for a moment, then suddenly realized what he had abruptly remembered: âThis is what the Xue family likes. Xue Xian loved eating tender grass. I didnât expect this aesthetic hobby could be passed down, but Shen Feixiaoâs malnourished appearance is a bit of a heavy taste⊠â
ââŠâ For the first time, Qin Kaiyi hated that he could only store Yan Gu in his sea of knowledge. If these goods just appeared in front of him and said the above words, he would pull out some of his teeth even if he had to lose his own old life.
âTsk tsk, donât judge by appearances.â Yan Gu, this classmate who won an inch but wanted a mile, sighed with feeling: âNo wonder he is so indulgent to him, even if it is the relationship between a father and his son it shouldnât be like this⊠ai, Qin Shi, sayâŠâ
âIf there is one more bit of nonsense, it will be crushed.â Qin Kaiyi was angered so much by Yan Guâs words that his lungs hurt. It was so hard to wake up for a while but he could only chat with Yan Gu. It would have been better to stay unconscious!
âAhâŠ?â Yan Gu froze.
âSay, do, will, do.â Qin Kaiyiâs tone was murderous, his not-good mood after learning of Shen Feixiaoâs actions completely exploded out.
ââŠâ Yan Gu said nothing, he should have known a long time ago⊠Although this fellow Qin Shi usually looked kind, once he got mad he would be extremely fierce. But it didnât matter, being able to dig up this kind of gossip could count as a big gain. With the same face as Qin Kaiyiâs, Yan Gu displayed a vulgar expression and reluctantly quieted down.
Free from that noisy voice, Qin Kaiyi finally let out a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes and let out a small sigh, then moved his gaze to the basket of fruit on the table.
Because he was ill, his mouth held a bitter flavor. Qin Kaiyi crawled out of the bed slowly and took an apple into his mouth.
The fresh apple was very juicy and not polluted by pesticides. Its taste was not bad. Qin Kaiyi crunched a few bites and gobbled the apple clean.
However, when he returned to the bed contentedly and was ready to continue to rest, a harsh voice rang in his ear again. Your mom, Qin Kaiyi was bitterly crying in his heart, what did the system want him to do now??
