Right now, Xiao Zhenyun had no desire to praise the intelligence of the little dog. He winced, retreating a meter back, with little flesh left on his hands. Xiao Zhenyun even suspected that Si Chu’s canine teeth had cracked his bones.
Enduring the pain, he covered his hand, letting blood drip onto the ground, forcing out a ‘smile’: “Xiao Chu, are you jealous?”
“You’re jealous because you care about me, I’m so happy~”
“Don’t worry~ How could I be angry with you?”
“You and your brother are my pair of wings. Without either one, I can’t fly~”
Then his spiritual form circled behind Si Chu, angrily kicking him hard.
Si Chu fell to the ground unexpectedly: “…”
Xiao Zhenyun was pleased, but it was hard to explain his stag’s behavior. He pretended to scold, “What are you doing, Tian Lu? How can you be so naughty? Didn’t I say that Ah Chu is weak and needs to conserve energy?”
Si Chu, whose shoulder blade was almost shattered by the kick, remained silent: “…”
Without giving him any room to think, Xiao Zhenyun immediately withdrew Tian Lu back into the spiritual domain, letting Si Chu rest early. Si Chu had achieved his goal, and without further detaining Xiao Zhenyun, he just looked at him eagerly, “Little Uncle, make sure to come see me early tomorrow.”
Xiao Zhenyun also gently replied with tough words, “Okay, I’ll come see you once Si Di leaves.”
He was sure that when he said this, Si Chu’s expression briefly turned fierce again, as if he wanted to bite him to death.
… Poor his hand, just healed from burns and now bitten again.
Outside, Si Di subtly hinted to Ye Feiran that the scene was cleaned up so well, perhaps it was an inside job, prompting him to take drastic measures against family. Then he turned around to see Xiao Zhenyun coming out of the bedroom with blood on his hand. His eye twitched, and he also felt the urge to take drastic measures against family.
After disinfecting the wound with cotton swabs and iodine, the two rows of tooth marks from Si Chu were clearly imprinted on Xiao Zhenyun’s hand. Si Di used his fingertip to point out a few particular teeth near the canine teeth, saying, “I can indeed tell at a glance that these are Si Chu’s bite marks. If he was truly imprisoned by you, this move was quite clever. Within three hours after I found out about your injury, I would have kicked open the door to the basement with a gun.”
With that, he took out a roll of bandages and skillfully wrapped Xiao Zhenyun’s hand, tying a very neat knot.
“Do I need a rabies shot?” Xiao Zhenyun quipped with lingering interest.
Si Di: “…” He lightly patted Xiao Zhenyun’s hand, apparently not tender enough.
“Si Chu bites too hard,” Xiao Nian shook his head nearby, “He’s really ruthless.”
Xiao Zhenyun moved his fingers twice and asked, “What should we do? If little brother is trying so hard to send messages out, and his brother can’t find anything, it’s really illogical.”
“What’s illogical about it? Just say I was blinded by love.” Si Di packed up the medical kit, “My brain has no intelligence left, just love.”
Since Si Di was willing to self-deprecate, Xiao Zhenyun didn’t hold back either. The next day when he went back to the basement, Si Chu stared at the knot on his hand for a long time, then suddenly asked, “Little Uncle, does it still hurt from my bite yesterday?… Who bandaged your wound?”
Xiao Zhenyun openly stated that it was Si Di’s handiwork.
“And… did Brother ask where it came from?”
“He did, but I brushed him off.”
“Brushed him off?” Si Chu was dumbfounded, “How?”
“Yeah.” Xiao Zhenyun smiled, “He started asking, but luckily he quieted down after a few kisses, and stopped asking.”
The little dog’s amber eyes widened in disbelief, his worldview completely shattered.
Throughout the afternoon, he disbelievingly kept glancing at the door, until Xiao Zhenyun finished watching two movies with him and was about to leave. Only then did he finally realize — his idol, the courageous and unparalleled S-class sentinel brother, truly lost his basic judgment because of a worthless guy who couldn’t even do the splits. He practically threw clues right in front of him, yet this person could still be bought with a few kisses, completely ignoring his brother’s cries for help.
A scene from many years ago floated before his eyes, Si Di pinching his face, teasing, “The half-eaten apple in the fridge is definitely yours. Do you think I can’t tell from the teeth marks?”
Brother… has changed.
He was deceived by this fickle guide and turned into a love-struck fool devoid of intelligence.
Si Chu lay on the bed gloomily, feeling the future was bleak. But after sulking for a while, he reignited his fighting spirit. Since Si Di was old-fashioned, he would find another way out on his own. He wouldn’t give up!
The little dog’s Plan B fell into the cliche, just as Xiao Zhenyun had guessed before. He pretended to be obedient and well-behaved, but in reality, he kept making suggestions, complaining about the darkness here and the dampness there, even demanding to bathe and sunbathe. Xiao Zhenyun felt exhausted by Si Chu, but fortunately, the two-week deadline was nearing its end. He quickly urged Si Di to speed up.
Si Di also felt a headache. “Do authors not consider intelligence when choosing characters? I’ve dropped so many hints, why hasn’t Ye Feiran thought of you? He even suspected it was all orchestrated by Xiao Jingfeng. He even suspected that Si Chu was terminally ill and left home to spare himself the sorrow.”
“…,” Xiao Zhenyun frowned, feeling Si Di hadn’t hit the mark, “Tell him I claimed to be injured in the spiritual domain and haven’t established a spiritual link with you for a long time.”
“I told him. He told me to take you to the hospital for a thorough check-up.”
“…And then?”
“And then nothing.”
“…”
Xiao Zhenyun was at a loss. He had to continue to cooperate with Si Chu’s Plan B, pretending to be a clueless idiot. Si Chu asked for something, and he provided it, but when the little dog tried to sweeten the deal to stabilize confidence, he resolutely refused, saying his ideal state of love was platonic.
Si Chu wasn’t entirely convinced. The marks on Xiao Zhenyun’s neck and arms when his collar was down or his sleeves rolled up clearly proved that his Little Uncle was a carnivore. He had a great time together with his brother, and even the impotence didn’t affect their fun. Who knew what other unheard-of ways they came up with due to his inability to perform.
Xiao Zhenyun noticed the kiss marks on his collarbone from Si Chu’s gaze. He cleared his throat and said, “Your brother and I focus more on physical relationships, but with you, it’s more about emotional fulfillment… Si Chu, you’re my muse.”
Si Chu was already tired of hearing all sorts of rubbish and immune to it. He nonchalantly said, “Little Uncle, you promised that if I’m good, you’ll unlock the chain on my foot… Am I good?”
“Do you think you’re good?”
“I’m very good.” Si Chu put on a cute act and then acted coquettishly, “I scraped my skin, it hurts.”
Xiao Zhenyun indulgently made a ‘who made me fall for this’ expression, unlocked the chain for him, and patted his shoulder, “Who’s Little Uncle’s favorite?”
“I know Little Uncle cares about me.” Si Chu showed the first sincere smile in days, “Goodnight, Little Uncle.”
“Goodnight.”
It had already been half a month, and Ye Feiran was still buzzing around like a headless fly, not coming to bother him. Xiao Zhenyun had to organize the evidence himself, cutting a section of surveillance video from the basement showing Si Chu, and had Xiao Nian anonymously send it to Ye Feiran. He instructed Xiao Nian not to make it too clean but to add a bit of difficulty, ensuring that Ye Feiran wouldn’t discover that he was cheating.
With these tricky client demands, Xiao Nian completed them perfectly. He must have been extremely idle as an administrator for the past half month, so he put a lot of effort into this matter.
Three days later, Si Di brought good news. Ye Feiran finally checked it out. When the two met at the guild today, Ye Feiran noticeably avoided him instinctively and hesitated to speak several times.
Xiao Zhenyun was wide awake when it came to this matter. He turned to Xiao Nian in the study, “Have you surveyed the cliff over there? Make sure there’s a platform for me to land on.”
A day earlier, in preparation for the final showdown, Xiao Zhenyun had entrusted Xiao Jiali to Chairman Xiao Jingfeng. Now they could finally plan loudly at home. Xiao Nian strolled over, “Yes, I also ordered three layers of cushions, they’re in the garage, ready to be laid out.”
With no time to waste, Xiao Zhenyun immediately took Si Di and Xiao Nian to the pre-selected excellent cliff location for cliff jumping rehearsals.
In the plot, when Xiao Zhenyun was at his wit’s end and took Si Chu to escape, he gave Si Chu food laced with drugs beforehand, then took the unconscious little dog away. When they jumped off the cliff, Si Chu passed out directly, falling off the cliff without knowing anything, later found alone.
So, when the time comes, Si Di will hide on the platform in the middle of the cliff to assist. When Xiao Zhenyun brings the unconscious Si Chu to the platform, Si Di will quietly leave with Xiao Zhenyun, leaving only Si Chu behind, thus achieving Xiao Zhenyun’s cliffhanger fate.
To prevent any further accidents, Si Di also called Hedgehog over to assist them.
Looking at the latest plan, Hedgehog frowned, “This…”
Xiao Zhenyun handed him a hefty sum, “Don’t inquire about things you shouldn’t ask about in society.”
“Ok.” Hedgehog promptly closed his mouth.
The platform below the cliff was quite conspicuous during the day, but at night, all that could be seen from the cliff was pitch black. Moreover, there was a row of fences on the edge of the cliff. Xiao Zhenyun realized he would have to destroy public property to get there.
Si Di carried him over along with the wheelchair, while Hedgehog observed and commanded, “When the time comes, just drive the car and crash through the fence.”
“In automatic driving, the car locks in safety mode. If he wants to drive manually, he’ll have to use the touchscreen to control the brakes and throttle. If he crashes into the fence while driving, I’m afraid with his poor driving skills, the car might flip over with him in it.”
“How about I break a section of the fence ten minutes early?” Hedgehog’s service mentality noticeably improved after receiving the money.
Xiao Zhenyun was very satisfied, “That works.”
With one problem solved, another arose. The platform was still a certain distance from the top of the cliff, equivalent to jumping off a building without protective measures. The danger still existed. After Si Di jumped down first, Xiao Zhenyun prepared himself mentally before slowly moving.
But just as he was about to jump, Si Di became worried.
“What if I don’t catch you…” he frowned.
“Should we take some safety precautions?” Xiao Nian suggested.
Hedgehog looked around, “Then I’ll tie a safety rope to this tree ten minutes early. When you arrive, delay a bit at the edge of the cliff, and I’ll secure the safety rope for you before you jump.”
