The Heartthrob System cultivates brotherhood online

Ling Si scanned the other person's body and found that the data was consistent with Ji Xuanlan's.

When I was in a daze, I fell into a broad embrace, and the scent of frost and snow filled my nose.

The metal plate opposite distortedly reflected two figures leaning on each other. Ji Xuanlan's back was slightly bent, and the force was so great that it seemed to melt him into his bones and blood.

Ling Si noticed the man's shoulder trembling and patted it gently.

"Why is Master here?"

Ji Xuanlan stood up, his eyelids drooping slightly, and the area around his eyes was a little red. "I came here after overcoming the tribulation. At first I thought it was the upper realm, but later I found out that it was a completely different place from before."

Ling Si nodded, not knowing what to say. When transcending the tribulation, the space-time rift might open, and Ji Xuanlan must have entered here by mistake.

Ji Xuanlan's eyes fell on him, hesitating to speak, "...How are you doing?"

"Not bad." Ling Si didn't know how to explain his origins, so he just remained silent.

"I... I'm sorry." The man's voice was hoarse, and he felt that it was useless to say anything.

Ling Si: "Why apologize?"

Ji Xuanlan: "...I failed to protect you."

"It has nothing to do with Master. If anyone must apologize, it should be me."

Ji Xuanlan was stunned and looked into the boy's clear eyes. There was no hatred or disgust in them, just calmness to the extreme, as if the person in front of him was just an ordinary friend and they were just reminiscing about the past.

"You should blame me." The man smiled bitterly.

Ling Si tilted his head, "Why?"

Ji Xuanlan's expression was not good, it could be said that he was extremely pale, "I will feel better this way."

"Then I blame you." Ling Si quickly changed his words, "Are you feeling better now?"

Ji Xuanlan felt a sore nose and hugged him again, humming in a muffled voice.

Ling Si glanced at his phone and said, "I have to go back."

Ji Xuanlan held him back and said, "Add your contact information so we can chat later."

……

"Happy birthday to my son." Rong An had a smile on his face and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Happy birthday!!!"

Everyone watched the birthday boy blow out the candles and applauded and blessed him with smiles.

Rong Qi handed the first piece of cake to Rong An, and received a pat on the shoulder that almost made him stumble.

He was about to hand the second piece of cake to Ling Si, but he found an unfamiliar bodyguard standing behind him.

"Where did he go?"

The bodyguard replied respectfully: "Mr. Ling found a suspicious person and went out to check."

Rongqi put down the knife he was using to cut the cake. It was inconvenient to talk because there were too many people around. "Got it."

The rest of the cake was cut by the hotel staff. He took the piece and put it on the table, leaned against the wall, took out his phone and started playing games.

After a few minutes, a shadow appeared on the phone. He knew it was Ling Si without even looking up. He raised his chin slightly and said, "Here, that's your cake. It tastes pretty good to me."

Maybe because it was a birthday cake, it tasted a little better than the ones at the banquet.

Rong Qi suddenly asked him, "What did you see that made you run away?"

"An old friend."

"How old are you? And you're still an old friend?" In Rongqi's opinion, the boy was pretending to be mature.

"Older than you." Ling Si looked at him.

"Abusing power for personal gain." Rong Qi commented on him.

"I left after I made sure there was no danger around."

Before Rong Qi could say something, Rong An came up with two men.

"Xiao Qi, this is your Uncle Zhou and your Brother Zhou." Rong An had a smile on his face.

Rong Qi greeted politely, "Uncle Zhou, Brother Zhou."

The middle-aged man called Uncle Zhou laughed out loud, "Xiao Qi has grown so big, happy birthday."

Although Rong Qi had a strange temper, he was still very capable when it came to making Rong An proud. He smiled and tried to smooth things over, making the middle-aged man laugh so hard that he held his stomach.

Ling Si put down the cake in his hand and stood behind Rong Qi.

The scrutiny that had been there since the two of them arrived became more and more obvious. He glanced at the young man called Brother Zhou by Rongqi. The man smiled at him, still thinking about something in his eyes.

The gaze made him feel uncomfortable, or more precisely, like a needle pricking him. He frowned slightly.

But since it's not for Rongqi, there's no need.

Just as Ling Si tried to ignore that gaze, the man took Rong Qi in his arms and tried to get closer to him, "Hey, Young Master Rong, is this the person you brought with you?"

Rong Qi smelled smoke and frowned. Before he could struggle free, the man was pulled away by Ling Si.

"Please keep your distance from the young master." Ling Si said coldly.

"Oh, it turns out that our identities are different." Zhou Yuan winked at Rong Qi ambiguously.

It was the first time that Rong Qi heard Ling Si call him like that. He felt it was too formal, his ears felt warm, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

Hearing Zhou Yuan talking nonsense again, he cursed him as an idiot and his face turned cold.

"Brother Zhou should be better at it. I heard someone say they saw you in the blue light yesterday."

Zhou Yuan couldn't hold back his anger and secretly glared at Rong Qi.

Blu-ray is the largest gay bar in the capital.

Zhou's father obviously knew where this was. He pulled Zhou Yuan's ear and lectured him, "You went there again. How many times have I told you to change your mind!?"

Zhou Yuan begged for mercy, his ears red from being pulled, "Dad, I really didn't go yesterday. Let go, it hurts..."

Rong An naturally understood the meaning of Zhou Yuan's words, which undoubtedly meant that Ling Si was a toy in Rong Qi's room. He pushed his glasses, the smile on his face was still there, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

He had spent a lot of effort to invite this person, and if he was driven away by a few inconsiderate words, there would be no need to continue the cooperation.

Rong An looked at the young man who was about to escape after being grabbed by the ears by Zhou's father, and explained: "Don't blame the child, Brother Ling is the guest I invited back."

What kind of identity must the person have to have to make Rong An personally say that he is a guest?

Zhou's father paused, kicked Zhou Yuan, and said with a fake smile: "Why don't you apologize to them quickly? Look at what bullshit you are talking about! "

Zhou Yuan staggered and almost fell to his knees in front of Ling Si, which showed how much effort Zhou's father had put in.

“I’m sorry.” A man of insight is a wise man. His family still relies on the cooperation of the Rong family, so Zhou Yuan could only swallow his anger.

Ling Si said nothing and stood like a sculpture behind Rong Qi.

Everyone at the banquet glanced over here vaguely, and Zhou Yuan's face turned red.

"Mr. Rong, I will definitely discipline this brat when I get back." After saying that, he grabbed Zhou Yuan and left embarrassedly.

Rong Qi patted the non-existent dust on his shoulders and glanced at Ling Si, "You are just like that saw-mouthed gourd. If he says something to you, won't you curse back?"

Ling Si:?

"What did he say about me?" Ling Si just felt that his gaze was a bit offensive to a human being.

Rongqi was choked by his words. Forget it. He didn't want a piece of wood to have any ideas.

It's good enough to be able to understand what people say.

"Speak nicely." Rong An patted his shoulder and went to entertain other guests.
