After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 832 - 822: Direct Communication

"Then why do you insist on being ranked second?" Bi Xia blinked curiously, "I remember your ranking is quite casual!"

Ji Qiutang was silent for a moment, expressionless, "Because by the time I arrived, they had already snatched the ranking."

Bi Xia: ...

"The eldest brother is equivalent to the dad, the second brother is equivalent to the mom, the third brother is like the housekeeper..."

"Then what about the Fourth Brother?" Bi Xia glanced at Qin Zhan and then turned to Ji Qiutang to ask.

"Logically, your Fourth Brother should be the second," Ji Qiutang smiled, "But he insisted, ’Do you think I, Qin Zhan, look like the type who’s on the receiving end?’ And then shamelessly chose the high-status yet carefree Fourth." Ji Qiutang continued to smile, "Do you think I’m just a receiver?"

"Oh, he also glamorously said, ’I rank fourth in the Qin Family, and it’s convenient to be fourth here too, no need to choose.’"

"Do you think... those few wimpy kids who run faster than rabbits when they see him would dare disobey?"

Bi Xia: ...

...What to do...

I really want to laugh!!!

"Hahaha!!!" Finally unable to contain it, Bi Xia let out a loud laugh, originally half-reclining at the bedhead, now toppled over onto the bed, the hem of his shirt lifted slightly, revealing fair skin, but at this moment Bi Xia was laughing maniacally.

Receiver?!

She truly underestimated Qin Zhan, he even understood this!

Watching Bi Xia laugh until she didn’t know who she was, Qin Zhan glanced at Ji Qiutang, and as his phoenix eyes landed on the boy’s exposed skin, they darkened. He nonchalantly pulled down the hem of the boy’s shirt and then lifted him to lean against himself.

"Just recovered, don’t catch a chill."

Feeling the room’s temperature, even at night a bit warm, with the air conditioning on, Wei Ming tilted his head, pondering whether to turn off the air conditioner or set the temperature higher?

"So, what about the Third Brother?" Bi Xia leaned against Qin Zhan, starlit eyes full of amusement, and asked.

Once the words left her mouth, the previously relaxed atmosphere instantly cooled down.

The first to change was Wei Ming, abruptly sitting up without a word, turning to leave the room. Ji Qiutang observed Wei Ming’s strong reaction, his clear eyes darkened, bitterly curled his lips, lowered his head without speaking.

Qin Zhan was the one who changed the least, but Bi Xia clearly felt Qin Zhan’s body stiffen for a moment, her starlit eyes narrowing slightly, as she gently tugged Qin Zhan’s shirt hem, realizing it must be a matter that shouldn’t be mentioned...

At that moment, Qin Zhan slowly spoke, his voice light, yet directed at Ji Qiutang, "Wei Ming simply can’t accept it."

Ji Qiutang shook his head, raised his eyes to Qin Zhan, "Can you accept it? You were the most direct victim back then."

Lowering his eyes slightly, Qin Zhan coldly replied, "I’m quite narrow-minded and naturally can’t accept it."

"Then why only mention Wei Ming?" Ji Qiutang laughed, "What about you? Honestly, if it wasn’t for Little Nine, you wouldn’t even..."

"What you owe Wei Ming, you’ve repaid," Qin Zhan interrupted Ji Qiutang, "And what you owe me, what you owe my people, sooner or later, I’ll make you repay it in another form."

"As for not contacting you all these years..." Qin Zhan touched Bi Xia’s head, "It was just because I had my own matters to deal with but now, everything’s in place, I’m back."

Ji Qiutang slowly stood up, smiling at Qin Zhan, "Alright, in that case, I’m always ready for you to come collect, but... let’s discuss this after I take this little brother home, after all, the Ji Family needs someone to take care."

Qin Zhan glanced at Ji Qiutang, then at Bi Xia, calmly said, "It’s not like it’ll cost your life, why talk about the Ji Family needing care? If you think Jiu afraid of me, your calculation is bound to fail."

Clicking his tongue lightly, Ji Qiutang shrugged, waved to Bi Xia, "By the way, to avoid your friend asking all sorts of questions, I brought you to my place. If you want to meet your friend, I’ll take you over tomorrow, or bring him here."

Bi Xia nodded, "Okay, thanks."

Ji Qiutang shrugged and walked out of the room.

Only to hear the door lock click, Qin Zhan’s phoenix eyes dimming, "The third wheel finally left."

Bi Xia smirked, rose to embrace Qin Zhan’s arm, pecked a kiss on Qin Zhan’s cheek, "Fourth Brother, don’t misunderstand, I’m just experiencing what it’s like for my future sister-in-law to kiss Fourth Brother."

Thin lips curled, phoenix eyes half-narrowed, he clasped the back of the boy’s head, leaned in to seize the boy’s lips, wickedly smiling, "Kissing the cheek isn’t direct enough, if you want to kiss, go for more straightforward communication."
