Xiao Ci, You Don't Want to Be (20)

Xue Ci sat in Fu Qingxiao's lap, feeling as if she were melting from his body heat.

This is still through the clothes.

If he actually agrees, his legs might be skinned alive.

"Xiao Ci," Fu Qingxiao's voice had become low and hoarse, "Wife, you haven't been paying much attention to me these past few days. Your attention has been divided between Fu Yang and Fu Zhouxuan."

"When Fu Yang came out of the bathroom, you looked at him and Fu Zhouxuan. You even touched his head and asked him if he had grown taller."

Honey, I'm jealous.

Fu Qingxiao one sentence after another, as if accusing Xue Ci of neglecting him, in order to fight for more benefits for himself.

Xue Ci could sense his increasingly uncontrollable desire. Even the slightest movement from him would elicit heavy breathing.

"I... I'm a little tired tonight."

I also drew you a puppy.

I'm a little sleepy.

"Old..."

"Husband..." Xue Ci pursed her lips, suppressing her embarrassment, "Husband..."

The voice was so pitiful.

Fu Qingxiao was stunned. "What did you call me?"

"Husband," Xue Ci called out again, and it wasn't so difficult anymore. "I'm a little sleepy and want to rest."

Fu Qingxiao was so excited by the flattery that he agreed to all her requests, "Then let's wait a few more days."

"Rest first."

Xue Ci breathed a sigh of relief; at least she had escaped tonight.

However, the next second, he felt the man's pupils contract.

Could it be...?

No!

Soon, those clear, cold eyes turned sinister, and Fu Qingxiao, who had been suppressed within his body for some time, emerged.

His emotions were somewhat unstable, especially since he hadn't seen Xue Ci much lately.

Is the baby calling another man "husband"?

Xue Ci: "..."

Hearing Fu Qingxiao's jealous voice, he felt a chill run down his spine.

When the lick reached the deepest part of her mouth, Xue Ci thought that was the worst it could be.

However, Fu Qingxiao still had no intention of letting him go.

After kissing his damp cheeks and chin, Fu Qingxiao deliberately said, "Baby, why are you crying and drooling at the same time? Are you enjoying it that much?"

Xue Ci trembled with shame, letting out soft, low moans.

"Baby, I can make you even more comfortable."

"But you have to tell me yourself what you want me to do."

Fu Qingxiao was utterly wicked. After licking someone until they were completely dazed and confused, he didn't let them feel completely comfortable. Poor Xue Ci was covered in a flushed red, crying pitifully, saying that she was in pain.

Fu Qingxiao even deliberately asked where she felt unwell.

Xue Ci looked ashamed and refused to speak, but her hands were restrained.

"Baby shouldn't touch it themselves."

Fu Qingxiao's words were full of possessiveness.

However, his evil deeds were punished.

Get out of my way!

The energy surging from his body quickly overwhelmed Fu Qingxiao's consciousness.

Is my dominant personality going to suppress me again?

He didn't Xue Ci.

Damn it, if we leave now, Fu Qingxiao will only benefit from it.

Fu Qingxiao was extremely agitated, but she couldn't withstand the anger of her dominant personality, and her consciousness gradually faded.

Before being sent back to his body, he kept rubbing his cheek against Xue Ci's, his voice filled with infatuation.

"Baby."

"Baby... don't forget me."

Xue Ci's head was being assaulted by the high temperature, and he felt dizzy and lightheaded. He pressed his face against Fu Qingxiao's and hummed softly, only knowing that he was uncomfortable.

Fu Qingxiao, who had just regained his body, was stiffened by Xue Ci's actions.

He had never owned a cat before, so he didn't know if it felt like being rubbed against by a kitten that he usually ignored—like being favored, cherished, wanting to give it all his best, and also having a dirty desire to make it cry and get dirty.

"Wife..."

Having finally decided to let it go, he ultimately carried Xue Ci into the bathroom.

*

Xue Ci hates bathrooms.

He couldn't tell whether the other person was Fu Qingxiao or Fu Qingxiao.

In short, the other person was mean; they made him open his eyes and look at himself in the mirror, saying why he was all pink.

He also said that he had dirtied the mirror.

Xue Ci was finally carried into the bathtub, her eyelashes damp, like a baby bird, her whole body wet, fragile and pitiful.

Xue Ci slept very soundly and didn't wake up until noon.

Fu Qingxiao was off today. When he woke up, lunch had already been prepared. He even carried him to the bathroom and meticulously helped him squeeze toothpaste and get water, almost brushing his teeth for him himself.

Fu Qingxiao did indeed have this thought.

"Wife, open your mouth."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ci back to reality, realizing that she would be spoiled rotten if things continued this way, and quickly took the toothpaste from Xueci.

He frowned. "I can do it myself."

Fu Qingxiao could sense that Xue Ci was ignoring him. He stared at the foam in Xue Ci's mouth, which was getting more and more plentiful and turning red.

The more he stared, the more engrossed he became.

Xue Ci had just finished rinsing her mouth when she heard the system refresh the task.

[Congratulations on triggering the hidden quest. Please consult Fu Qingxiao about the secondary personality.]

[You will receive 500 points upon completion of the task.]

The rewards for hidden missions are very generous. Xue Ci certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity, especially since he was also quite curious. After washing his face, his cheeks were still damp, and the man offered to help him wipe away the water droplets.

A soft washcloth gently caressed her skin. Xue Ci blinked, her beautiful pupils fixed on Fu Qingxiao. He said it tactfully, "Do you know that you sometimes act strangely?"

Fu Qingxiao hummed in agreement. "You should have met Fu Qingxiao by now, right?"

Xue Ci.

"The personality traits that develop in childhood, coupled with heavy schoolwork and occasional imperfections, can lead to rebellion. This manifests in behaviors such as faking illness to skip school, racing cars, drinking, and engaging in other outrageous acts."

Fu Qingxiao emphasized, "But that's all he does. He's never been in a relationship, and like me, he's completely celibate."

11 suddenly jumped in: [Okay, okay, you're all virgins!]

hehe.

Xue Ci solemnly and asked earnestly, "Are you also worried about your studies?"

Fu Qingxiao chuckled softly, "Do I not look like it?"

Xue Ci honestly. "Because you seem to love studying."

Just like how I love my work.

"Studying is boring, and being alone is too," Fu Qingxiao rubbed his head, "But I've found something that makes it less boring."

Xue Ci asked innocently, "What?"

Fu Qingxiao: "About last night."

"..."

Xue Ci's cheeks flushed.

Hearing the notification sound of points being credited to his account, he didn't ask any further questions, but Fu Qingxiao continued, "He doesn't usually show up much, but he comes frequently when you're here."

"Xiao Ci, his mouth was licked, wasn't it?"

Xue Ci's shoulders trembled, but she pretended not to hear. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"He almost made you cry last night." The man's tone held a hint of jealousy. "I'll see a therapist and try to erase him from my memory."

11: [Men are terrifying; when they go crazy, they can destroy a person.]

Xue Ci didn't actually dislike Fu Qingxiao that much.

However, this was Fu Qingxiao's own business, and he didn't say anything.

At the same time, he was also afraid that the more he spoke up for Fu Qingxiao, the more Fu Qingxiao would want to eliminate him.

After washing up, he changed his clothes and went downstairs.

Fu Yang and Fu Zhouxuan are both at home today.

Fu Yang's gaze swept over Xue Ci, and he could almost instantly sense something. His eyes turned dark. "It's a bit late today, are you very tired?"

Xue Ci couldn't detect his sarcastic tone. "I'm a little tired."

Fu Yang laughed in exasperation, "Really?"

Xue Ci felt his tone was unpleasant and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

After lunch, he was cornered in the flower room by Fu Yang. The man fiercely interrogated him about what Fu Qingxiao had done to him the previous night.

Xue Ci lied and pretended that nothing had happened.

Soon after, an OOC (Out of Control) warning was issued.

Xue Ci was so frightened that she didn't dare say anything more.

"You were kissed like that, do you think I didn't notice?" Fu Yang's tone was irritated. "What did he do to you?"

Fearing punishment from the system, Xue Ci vaguely recounted part of what she remembered from last night.

Fu Yang's face grew increasingly dark as he listened.

As I felt jealous, my breathing became heavier.

"Are you really planning to be his concubine for life? If this continues, you'll really get pregnant."

Xue Ci was also a little scared, but she had to stay by Fu Qingxiao's side for the time being for the sake of the mission.

"I know..."

"You know that, yet you still...?" Fu Yang's expression changed. "You don't actually like him, do you?"

Fu Qingxiao has more power and status than him. He's a wicked person but knows how to pretend to be a good one. It's not impossible that Xue Ci likes him.

Fu Yang panicked completely. Seeing that Xue Ci remained silent, he pressed down on her shoulder and asked, "You really like him?"

Seeing Xue Ci his head, Fu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then when will you tell him the truth?"

Xue Ci: "Let's wait until after the college entrance exam."

According to the plot, he was about to die at that point.

Fu Yang felt a glimmer of hope and his spirits relaxed slightly. "Alright, I'll wait for that day."

*

Fu Zhouxuan felt that he had been living a very fulfilling life recently, and there had never been a period in his life as satisfying as this moment.

He's getting faster at solving problems, and his grades are steadily improving.

He also made time to exercise.

The Fu Family has strong genes, and he grew to 1.9 meters tall. With proper nutrition, he became tall and slender, with a layer of firm muscles covering his developed bones.

She stands out among her peers.

He goes for a run every morning, and on his run he passes a bakery. Every few days he buys a bag of soft bread and puts it in the snack cabinet next to the sofa.

Xue Ci eats snacks very slowly, probably because she has a small mouth.

Fu Zhouxuan often felt his body heat up after staring at it for a while.

But he knew this was not a good idea; Fu Yang's health condition was a cautionary tale.

If it doesn't work there, you'll definitely be abandoned.

Fu Zhouxuan lived a very regular life. Recently, his tutoring classes ended, and he stayed at home waiting for school to start.

After finishing several hours of studying, he decided to go for a walk outside his room and see what Xue Ci was doing.

The door opened, Xue Ci was standing on the second-floor corridor.

There seemed to be some noise downstairs; it was all Fu Yang's voice.

Fu Zhouxuan walked to Xue Ci's side. "Xue Ci... Brother."

He had just finished shouting when he felt his ears being covered.

Xue Ci's hand was too light to block out the sound. Fu Zhouxuan still heard Fu Yang and Fu Qingxiao's conversation.

"Are you just going to let him stay here like this?"

"She's so young and already knows how to seduce people, and she forgets to wear a shirt when she takes a shower every day?"

Xue Ci: "?"

You're the one who goes shirtless after showering every day... Fu Zhouxuan only does it occasionally.

His gaze was fixed downstairs, and he didn't notice that Fu Zhouxuan's eyes had become intense and profound as he looked at him.

My wrist felt warm as someone gripped it tightly.

Xue Ci paused for a moment, turned her head, and heard Fu Zhouxuan say, "I heard you."

"They say I'm seducing people."

"Does Brother Xue Ci also think I'm seducing someone?"

"..." Xue Ci felt embarrassed. Covering his ears had no effect at all. He immediately shook his head, "Fu Yang is just jealous of your figure, that's why he said that. Don't take it to heart."

Fu Zhouxuan took it very seriously.

Suppressing her excitement, she asked, "Does Brother Xue Ci also think I have a good figure?"

Xue Ci honestly.

For some reason, Fu Zhouxuan wasn't as sensitive as in the original storyline, and didn't seem to care about his older brother Fu Yang's words; in fact, he was in a pretty good mood.

It seems the protagonist is more powerful than he imagined.

11:[.]

He was just flattered by you.

Fu Zhouxuan remained unmoved and continued to expose his upper body. Fu Yang regarded him as a thorn in his side and became increasingly displeased with him. He even specifically asked Xue Ci why the other party didn't put on a shirt after taking a shower, wondering if it was intentional.

Xue Ci, oblivious to the danger, only felt that Fu Yang was picking a fight. "The bathroom is too hot."

Fu Yang: "I think he's just hot."

Xue Ci: "?"

He felt that Fu Yang was being unreasonable and specifically instructed the other party not to disturb Fu Zhouxuan's studies.

Fu Yang was so jealous that he kept quiet for days, waiting for Xue Ci to notice him and coax him. Unfortunately, no one paid any attention, and in the end, he sheepishly took the initiative to talk to Xue Ci.

School started soon.

Once school starts, time slips away unnoticed.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and spring is exceptionally short. The school grounds are covered with fallen leaves, but new buds are sprouting and the trees quickly become lush again.

The cicadas were chirping incessantly.

Summer is here.

The college entrance examination is getting closer and closer.

Xue Ci focused on her studies so that Fu Zhouxuan could concentrate on his work and didn't bother him too much for the sake of the plot; however, the progress bar smoothly reached 95%.

It seems there's only one last task left: to collect the lunchbox (get killed off).

According to the plot, Fu Zhouxuan became a major threat to some people. So, just as he was gaining power, someone couldn't wait any longer and staged a car accident to get rid of him.

He was the one who shielded Fu Zhouxuan from disaster. Afterwards, the protagonist will grow rapidly and climb all the way to the highest level of the Fu Family.

Xue Ci rarely returned to the villa; most of the time, Fu Qingxiao would come to see him, invite him to dinner, and ask if he wanted to stay at the villa on the weekend.

Xue Ci politely declined, citing her busy academic schedule.

Fu Qingxiao's eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything.

His confidence stemmed not from generosity, but from the fact that he had already planted spies around Xue Ci Xue Ci, blocking anyone who tried to get close to her.

This possessiveness is almost identical to that of Fu Yang.

Xue Ci was completely unaware of this.

He continued his studies, living a normal and peaceful life, just waiting for Fu Zhouxuan to finish the college entrance examination and get his "lunchbox" (a euphemism for being killed off).

One day, he received unexpected news.

Fu Zhouxuan said that the monthly exams had just ended and there would be a parent-teacher conference, so he asked if he could come.

Then he posted a photo of the results.

This time, I came in first place.

Even his grades were among the top in the entire grade.

Xue Ci was surprised by such rapid progress.

That's amazing!

However, it would be more appropriate for Fu Qingxiao or Fu Yang to attend the parent-teacher conference. On second thought, he realized that neither of them knew how to praise people, and they were quite good at discouraging enthusiasm, so he decided to go himself.

He told Fu Qingxiao about it beforehand, and the other man, knowing he was going, planned to come along too.

When Fu Zhouxuan found out, he seemed unhappy. "Brother Xue Ci, I only want you to go."

Xue Ci was so flattered by these words that she felt she was a better older brother than Fu Qingxiao, so she told Fu Qingxiao to wait at the school gate while she got off the bus alone.

Seeing his enthusiasm, Fu Qingxiao didn't want to spoil the mood and instructed, "Call me if anything happens."

Xue Ci him with only her back view.

Not far away, Fu Zhouxuan saw Xue Ci get out of the car and immediately came to greet her, opening his umbrella to shield her from the sun and also preparing black tea.

The straw was already inserted, and it was handed to Xue Ci's lips.

The admiration in her eyes was immediately apparent.

Fu Qingxiao's brow furrowed more and more.

It's time to send people abroad for experience.

*

It was Xue Ci's first time leading a parent-teacher conference, and she was a little nervous. She sat upright in her seat and looked more like a student than Fu Zhouxuan next to her.

He felt that the main character was quite popular, as people kept looking in his direction.

But why are most of them boys?

Xue Ci leaned closer to Fu Zhouxuan and whispered, "You haven't been in a relationship yet, have you?"

Fu Zhouxuan's expression visibly tensed, his breath hot, and he averted his gaze. "... No."

He sounded a little guilty as he spoke, and Xue Ci was about to ask something else when the teacher arrived.

Fu Zhouxuan attended the best high school in the city, where the teachers were highly qualified and there was no vicious competition or comparison.

Xue Ci listened attentively for forty minutes, then reached out and patted Fu Zhouxuan's head.

"That's amazing, but don't overwork yourself, take care of your health."

Fu Zhouxuan raised the corners of his lips, feeling half of his body go numb as Xue Ci touched and praised him.

Unfortunately, someone soon came to disturb them.

"Are you Fu Zhouxuan's brother?"

One of the bolder boys in the class, after watching Xue Ci for an entire class period, finally went up to ask her something. Once one boy approached, the other boys followed suit.

Fu Zhouxuan's seat had never been this lively before.

He glanced indifferently at the group of people with ulterior motives, his cold expression already exuding the innate oppressive aura of the Fu Family.

He already has a girlfriend.

Fu Zhouxuan didn't call Xueci "Brother Xue Ci" in front of everyone. He kept the relationship ambiguous, so that the boundary between him and Xue Ci wouldn't be so clear.

Xue Ci tugged at him, signaling him not to have such a cold face.

It would be great if the main character could be popular in class.

With this in mind, Xue Ci was quite friendly to all the boys.

After waiting for about ten minutes, he received a call from Fu Qingxiao, who asked him why he hadn't come out yet when all the other parents had.

Xue Ci whispered, "I'll leave right away."

Fu Zhouxuan insisted on giving it to him.

Xue Ci pressed him back into his seat. "Class is about to start, pay attention."

His tone was still that of an adult speaking to a child.

But Fu Zhouxuan was no longer satisfied with just treating him as an older brother.

The boy obediently stayed in the classroom in the end. After Xue Ci left, he stood outside the corridor, looking at Xue Ci walking in the middle of the road as she was stopped and approached by someone with a serious expression.

Not far away, there was Fu Qingxiao's figure.

*

After the parent-teacher conference, Xue Ci thought the protagonist was quite popular at school, but the next day she learned from Fu Yang that Fu Zhouxuan had gotten into a fight with her.

Xue Ci had a full day of classes and didn't see Fu Yang's message until after school. He hurriedly called back, his voice anxious. "What happened?"

Fu Yang's voice remained as nonchalant as ever, not taking it seriously. "You've entered your rebellious phase, haven't you?"

Xue Ci: "How is he? Is he injured? Is it serious?"

Hearing Xue Ci's concerned tone, Fu Yang unhappily, "If he got into a fight and got hurt, would he still have the nerve to call himself Fu? He's fine now, Fu Qingxiao has already brought him back, and he's in his room reflecting on his actions."

With the college entrance exam approaching, Xue Ci was worried that Fu Zhouxuan might be keeping something on his mind, so despite having a full day of classes the next day, she decided to go back home.

Fu Yang knew he was coming to the villa, and after a few words of persuasion, it was no use. He just told him to wait in the dormitory and that he would come to pick him up.

Xue Ci kept asking Fu Yang what was going on on the way.

"How could he tell me? The teacher called me over. Luckily, it's all settled, and I can go back to class in a couple of days." Fu Yang glanced at Xue Ci. "Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it normal for kids to fight?"

Don't frown.

He pressed his finger between Xue Ci's eyebrows, then unusually spoke up for Fu Zhouxuan, "He knows what's important; it must be that the other party said something unpleasant."

Xue Ci breathed a sigh of relief. After arriving at the villa, she didn't even have time to put on slippers before running straight to the second floor.

Fu Yang, standing behind him, looked incredibly jealous, but still knelt down to help Xue Ci tidy up her shoes.

"Fu Zhouxuan, open the door."

Xue Ci rarely called him by his full name. Fu Zhouxuan, who was inside the room, stiffened, and the bruise on his cheek seemed to hurt even more.

After opening the door, Xue Ci first checked the wounds on his face and found them to be more serious than she had imagined. She gasped, "How did you get hurt like this?"

Fu Zhouxuan looked like he had done something wrong, his eyes lowered and he remained silent.

The wound wasn't treated.

It looked rather pitiful, like an unwanted puppy.

Xue Ci ran downstairs to get her medicine.

Fu Yang forced him to put on his shoes. "Slow down, his injury is nothing, I used to get like this all the time when I was a kid."

Not only did he not receive Xue Ci's sympathy, but he was also scolded, "You think you're so great at fighting? You must have learned it from you!"

Fu Yang simply shut up. "..."

After Xue Ci brought the medicine into the house, Fu Zhouxuan was sitting in a chair, obediently waiting for him to come over.

She also took off her school uniform jacket, revealing the wound on her arm.

Xue Ci looking at him and bit her lip as she applied medicine to his wound.

His little face was very tense, Fu Zhouxuan wanted to speak several times but didn't dare to.

Only after her wounds were treated did Xue Ci's expression soften. "Did they bully you?"

Fu Zhouxuan was stunned. He thought he would be scolded. After all, from childhood to adulthood, whenever there was a fight, it was always his fault. And no one had ever cared about him.

His eyes were fixed intently on Xue Ci.

Xue Ci thought she had guessed correctly, "What did they say about you?"

Fu Zhouxuan then snapped out of his daze and looked away, "They weren't talking about me."

He had already said it, but Fu Zhouxuan didn't care at all about being called a bastard.

Xue Ci frowned, as if she had thought of something, "Is someone pursuing you? Do they happen to like that person?"

This was the only reason he could think of.

Seeing Fu Zhouxuan's uneasy expression, Xue Ci thought she had guessed correctly, "Did they attack first?"

Fu Zhouxuan was silent for a few seconds. "It's alright, Brother Xue Ci, these injuries are nothing."

Xue Ci's eyelids twitched slightly; his words had ignited her anger.

"How can it not be anything?"

Fu Zhouxuan: "... It will be alright."

"Will it stop hurting once it gets better?" Xue Ci's chest heaved with anger at his lack of self-respect. He was afraid that Fu Zhouxuan would continue to be so careless with his body, especially since he wouldn't be around anymore.

"I'm asking you a question."

Xue Ci's expression was cold and stern. Seeing that Fu Zhouxuan didn't speak, she picked up the ruler on the table and hit the boy's palm several times.

"I'm asking you, will it hurt? Will it hurt?"

Fu Zhouxuan stared at him blankly, his breathing suddenly changing.

His back trembled as well.

Her eyes instantly turned red.

Xue Ci noticed it, froze, and thought she had hit too hard.

Am I being too strict with myself?

It was definitely wrong to hit someone.

Xue Ci pursed her lips, about to say something, when she heard Fu Zhouxuan say in a hoarse, almost inaudible voice, "I want you."

Xue Ci couldn't believe her ears, thinking she had misheard, and looked up at him.

"... What?"

Fu Zhouxuan quickly looked away, his ears turning red.

His Adam's apple kept bobbing.

The tall boy repeated it in a clearer, more embarrassed voice—

"I want you, Brother Xue Ci."
