A skin-thirsty episode occurred, in her brother's arms.

Xu Xingchen's phone rang several times.

Judging from the frequency, it is Qin Ge.

He picked it up and looked at it; it was indeed him.

I opened the messages he sent; he had been sending me a message almost every few minutes since he arrived at the company.

The kitten at the company entrance.

Wisteria flowers are blooming along the road.

The clouds were a bit odd, and there was a newly opened breakfast shop.

He shared everything with Xu Xingchen, wanting to fully involve Xu Xingchen in his life, and also inquired about Xu Xingchen's situation.

As Xu Xingchen looked at his phone, Qin Ge sent another emoji.

Xu Xingchen had no idea what Qin Ge had been thinking last night, that he had managed to soothe her so quickly.

He looked down at the messages, reading each one carefully twice, but did not reply.

He put his phone in the table and started doing his own thing.

After completing his required credits, his main goal now is to follow Lin Shu. Lin Shu intends for him to join her team directly, and he is still considering it.

Today he's going to summarize what he learned from this exchange meeting and give a report; it's not a complicated matter.

Looking at the blank document that had been opened, he waited quite a while before typing the first word.

The phone rang a few more times, but Xu Xingchen ignored it.

Once the report was almost finished, he turned on his phone and dealt with some lab matters.

During this time, Qin Ge sent several more messages, even asking why he wasn't replying.

Xu Xingchen stopped typing, turned off his phone expressionlessly, and continued working.

On Qin Ge's side.

His obsidian-like eyes grew increasingly somber.

It was so dark that you couldn't see the bottom, like a boundless seabed with countless waves.

His phone screen stopped at the familiar background.

This software can see everything on Xu Xingchen's phone, including his replies to messages from other colleagues.

His phone's message interface was completely clean.

No reply.

There was nothing there.

Qin Ge kept refreshing the interface, his eyes darkening with each passing moment.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death has never been his style, so he made a phone call.

This time, the other side accepted.

Xu Xingchen's voice remained unchanged, "What's wrong?"

Qin Ge, "Are you still busy? School's almost over."

Xu Xingchen: "Yeah, there are still some things I haven't finished here."

"Star, did you see my message? What time do you finish? I'll come pick you up."

Xu Xingchen: "I was busy just now and didn't notice."

"No need, it's too far to come here. I have some things to do this afternoon, so I'll just stay in the dorm tonight."

All emotion vanished from Qin Ge's face. "How far is it? I'll be there in a minute."

Xu Xingchen seemed a little helpless, "Qin Ge, you're so clingy. Even the best of brothers aren't always sticking together."

"Aren't we the ones in charge? Why should we care what others do?"

"I'll come pick you up, wait for me."

For the first time, Qin Ge proactively hung up on Xu Xingchen's call.

He sat in his seat and refreshed the backend several times.

The software showed that Xu Xingchen sent the completed report to Lin Shu.

The pinned chat box remains empty; not a single reply has been received.

My heart felt like it had been stomped on several times and was soaking in bitter, astringent water.

Qin Ge suppressed the darkness in his eyes and got up to greet Xu Xingchen.

He appeared at the entrance of Xu Xingchen's laboratory as usual.

I greeted him immediately upon seeing him, smiled, and said, "I arrived just in time today, I'm not late."

"How was today? Did it go smoothly?"

Xu Xingchen: "It's alright."

Qin Ge: "I'm not doing well. I've encountered a stubborn, insane client."

"Fortunately, thanks to my intelligence, I solved the problem perfectly and also landed a 50 million dollar order."

"The second round of financing has been officially completed. Now, even if the old man gives him the remaining shares, he won't be able to cause any trouble."

"I now make all the decisions in the company."

"That's great, Qin Ge, you're amazing, you finally did it."

Xu Xingchen was genuinely happy for Qin Ge.

Qin Siyuan is a beast.

He and Yun Ci were well-matched in terms of social standing, and he fell in love with Yun Ci at first sight. Both families approved of their relationship.

His pursuit of Yun Ci was passionate and intense, and their fairytale romance was reported by many media outlets.

He remembered even a casual remark Yun Ci made, and sent Yun Ci's favorite small cakes across borders.

Both of them were somewhat famous online, and at the time, there were quite a few people who shipped them because of their relationship.

Yun Ci was also moved by him, married him, and gave birth to their child, Qin Ge, the following year.

Before Qin Ge was five years old, he lived a fairytale life, pampered and innocent.

After Yun Ci turned five, the Yun family company ran into big problems, and Yun Ci was so overwhelmed by the company that she had no time to take care of things at home.

Qin Siyuan's true nature was revealed.

He started bringing different people to his home.

Xu Xingchen didn't know the specifics, but he vaguely knew that Qin Ge was in the room when Qin Siyuan was hanging out with those boys.

After that, he would feel nauseous and vomit whenever he saw same-sex couples, and he couldn't get over it for a long time.

He first met Qin Ge in a dark room.

Qin Ge pounced and bit his palm, like a small beast driven to the brink of despair. He still remembers that look in his eyes.

He met Qin Siyuan.

As a child, he only thought of him as a strange uncle. He mustered up his courage and stood in front of Qin Ge, suggesting that he take Qin Ge to his house to play.

The way Qin Siyuan looked at him made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he agreed.

Xu Xingchen took Qin Ge away from the Qin family.

Qin Ge is not in a good state.

With his parents' help, he found a psychologist and also got in touch with Yun Ci.

No one expected Yun Ci to have such courage.

After that, Qin Ge and Xu Xingchen grew up inseparable, and they still are now.

They have so many memories together.

Qin Ge: "So, Xingxing, shall we go out and celebrate today? Or should we go home? I'll cook something delicious."

Xu Xingchen said, "I have something to do tonight. My senior brothers and sisters invited me out for dinner to celebrate the product launch."

He had no way out; he could only proceed step by step according to the plan.

Qin Ge knew that he had deliberately not replied to the message; Qin Ge was putting on a brave face and pretending that none of this had happened.

That's it, Qin Ge. Let's stop at being good brothers. At least they can still be together.

Xu Xingchen tried to appear normal as he searched through his memories of how his brothers usually got along.

"Let's celebrate tomorrow night. I'll book a table and we'll have a proper celebration for you."

"They did make the appointment first, and I couldn't break my promise to them."

The smile that Qin Ge had been forcing at the corners of his mouth could no longer be maintained.

"Are they more important than me?"

Xu Xingchen said, "We agreed to their request first. It's just a meal; we can eat whenever we want."
