Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

Xie Yuchen sat on the edge of the innermost hot spring, staring blankly at the steam in the pool, occasionally paddling in the water with his hands.

He let the ripples in the pool spread out in circles around his hands.

To be honest, he was a little overwhelmed, and the feeling six months ago that everyone was hiding things from him reappeared.

Moreover, Cheng Ji clearly said that as long as he had complete control over the Jie family, he would tell him everything.

But he still broke his promise.

Liar, don't promise him if you can't do it.

After all, he really would take it seriously.

This is what that man promised him when he was a child. He said he would be his father, pamper him, treat him well, and help him grow up quickly.

As a result, he grew up, but that person was gone.

Later he no longer trusted anyone easily.

Until he met Cheng Ji, this person did not show his concern openly like Jie Lianhuan, but did a lot of things for him behind the scenes.

Once, he held a Hongmen Banquet without any preparation. The organizer of the banquet was a not-so-small noble family that had always wanted to squeeze into the Nine Gates and get a piece of the pie. Reluctantly, they colluded with a branch of the Xie family to host this Hongmen Banquet.

As soon as he entered and saw the man face to face, he felt something was wrong. However, he had never expected that the man would use such despicable means to poison the wine glass directly.

It's also a deadly poison.

It's not that he was unprepared. Even the man's son took two sips of the wine. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he didn't take it too seriously.

As a result, that person even wanted to use his own son. The moment that person's son fell to the ground, the alarm bells in his heart started ringing.

He knew that he would probably capsize in the ditch today.

Just when his consciousness began to blur, Cheng Ji appeared in his sight.

That was the second time he saw this young man in power.

The first time was when he found this person out.

When Cheng Ji came in that day, he didn't take the man from the noble family seriously at all. He laid him flat on the ground and carefully checked his physical condition.

After knowing that he was poisoned by a type of poison for which there was no antidote, he had actually given up. At that time, he even thought that it would be a good idea to hand over the Xie family to this person if he died.

But just as he was about to say something about his last wishes, the young man interrupted him directly: "You'd better say these words a hundred years later."

After saying that, Cheng Ji took out the silver needle he carried with him, and without saying a word, he stabbed him directly.

During the acupuncture, the acupuncturist is required not to be distracted, but how could the head of that aristocratic family give Jie Yuchen a chance to live? Moreover, at their level, they cannot reach the rulers of the Nine Gates, so naturally they have no idea that the young man in front of them is the ruler of the Nine Gates they have always dreamed of entering.

The man's dagger pierced the boy's body without any hesitation. The boy even frowned slightly and groaned without interrupting his action.

When the man wanted to stab a second time, he was stopped by a man wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses.

"I say, it's already my fault that I let you succeed. If it weren't for the time that Hei Ye wasted dealing with your little bastard outside, you really thought you were strong enough. I don't know who gave you the courage to touch him. How many lives do you have to pay for it, huh?"

The man wearing sunglasses crushed the man's knife-holding hand with great force and spoke with a sneer.

But that person was treated, but there was no time to treat Cheng Ji's injuries. By the time he was given the injection, the boy's white clothes had been completely soaked with blood, and even his face had lost all color.

In the end, Cheng Ji was carried back by Zhang Qiling who arrived late.

At that time, he had lost most of his consciousness. Even before he saw Cheng Ji again, he once thought that he was dead and was killed by him.

That was one of the few times he had received attention since he became the head of the family at the age of nine.

At that time, Xie Yuchen chose to trust someone for the second time.

However, this person broke his promise today.

Xie Yuchen hid his loneliness under his long eyelashes, sat in the corner, and said nothing.

But it didn't take long before someone came in and broke the silence.

Wu Xie looked at Xie Yuchen who was sitting here alone, walked over carefully and sat next to him.

Wu Xie's eyes were not on Xie Yuchen. He also looked at the empty hot spring pool and said softly, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Xie Yuchen did not answer and continued to sit there quietly.

Wu Xie didn't think there was anything wrong with his question, and continued, "Because of Cheng Ji?"

This time, Xie Yuchen just gave a light "hmm", which could be considered a response.

Wu Xie continued, "You think he is very mysterious, as if he is hiding a lot of things from you."

Hearing Wu Xie's words, Xie Yuchen was also stunned. He didn't expect Wu Xie to be able to see all this, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

But Wu Xie didn't care whether Xie Yuchen could really speak out his thoughts. He just quietly told Xie Yuchen about his feelings: "Think about me, and you won't feel bad. Almost everyone has been hiding things from me along the way, but every time it's like I'm being led by something and have to make this choice."

"I've never touched this thing in more than 20 years, but I've actually won four games in just one year. I'm afraid those veterans are not as efficient as me, haha." Wu Xie chuckled helplessly and said self-deprecatingly.

Xie Yuchen couldn't help but asked in shock after hearing this: "Why are you..."

But he stopped talking before he could finish his words, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.

Wu Xie continued Xie Yuchen's words: "You want to ask me why I continue this matter now that I know the answer, right?"

"Ah."

"That's my third uncle. How could he harm me? If he did that, he must have his reasons. So I'll just follow him."

"It's the same with Cheng Ji. My third uncle introduced him to me and said he was my second uncle's child. But other than the fact that his face looks a bit like mine, I can't tell that he's from our family."

"I've even noticed that he has some relationship with Zhang Qiling, but they just want to hide it, so I'll just pretend I don't know."

Xie Yuchen didn't expect that Wu Xie, who looked innocent, actually had so many things hidden in his heart. Little Jiu Ye, who always spoke very carefully in front of others, was also at a loss for words at this time.

But Wu Xie didn't seem to need his comfort, and just shifted the topic back to Xie Yuchen.
