Xiao Yang looked at Cheng Rui, knowing that he was openly trying to take people away from him. His face stiffened slightly, “Rui ge, tell me where the hairdryer is, I’ll go get it.”
Cheng Rui’s handsome face hardened, “No need, I’ll get it.”
Xiao Yang didn’t smile, “Let me get it. I have a good relationship with Qingqing, I’ll help her blow-dry her hair.”
Cheng Rui’s face remained calm as he said coldly, “It’s getting late, you should go to sleep.”
Liang Zhiyu narrowed his cunning eyes, as if watching a show.
Shen Mingxuan sneered in his heart, thinking that Xiao Yang and Cheng Rui were blind. They were both being played around by Bai Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing had originally just wanted to flirt with her brother and ask him to help blow-dry her hair. She didn’t expect it to suddenly become a battlefield, and she looked at Fu Chen expressionlessly.
Xiao Yang knew that Bai Qingqing had been with Cheng Rui during the days she was missing. Recalling how she fed Cheng Rui medicine and food, various intimate moments, he felt extremely unhappy. It was clear that he liked Qingqing first, but Cheng Rui had to intervene.
Fu Chen had said that he would let him be with Qingqing once they returned to the Aojing Prefecture Base, so he looked at Fu Chen, clearly indicating that he wanted the captain to make the decision.
Another person observing the expressions of everyone was Cheng Yan. Initially, he thought Cheng Rui had brought back Bai Qingqing and that she was already Cheng Rui’s woman, but he didn’t expect them to still be friends.
Xiao Yang was too young, and everything was written on his face. It was obvious that he liked Bai Qingqing.
Two men vying for her attention, the initiative was in Bai Qingqing’s hands, but it ultimately depended on her choice.
Bai Qingqing truly didn’t know how to choose. Both of them were her current targets, and no matter which choice she made, it would be a default acceptance of the person.
Of course, she wanted them both, but she couldn’t say it out loud, otherwise, it would be a disaster.
Big brother, help!
After a while, Fu Chen sensed her plea for help and said, “Everyone, go to sleep. I’ll blow-dry her hair.”
“Fu ge.”
“Captain.”
Xiao Yang and Cheng Rui looked at him, their emotions swirling in their eyes.
Fu Chen said calmly, “We can talk about it tomorrow.”
Reluctantly, Xiao Yang glanced at Bai Qingqing with a pitiful expression like a little puppy before leaving.
Cheng Rui remained silent for a few seconds before returning to his room with long strides.
Liang Zhiyu smiled lightly, “Captain, your precious little sister is quite popular.”
Fu Chen’s cold gaze turned towards him, “Are you bored too?”
Liang Zhiyu’s face, as gentle as jade, revealed a faint smile, “Not at all, Captain. You just need to take good care of your precious one. Who knows when she might be taken away by someone else.”
Fu Chen snorted and walked back to the room, holding Bai Qingqing’s hand.
Once he left, Shen Mingxuan sneered and went back to his room, leaving Cheng Yan and Liang Zhiyu outside.
Cheng Yan’s eyes flickered with a sharp light, “Miss Bai and Captain Fu don’t seem to be real siblings?”
Liang Zhiyu’s expression turned cold, “They’re not, but they’re even more like real siblings.”
Cheng Yan understood some of it in his heart and didn’t say anything further.
In the spacious bedroom, Bai Qingqing sat on the stool while Fu Chen stood behind her, holding her damp hair.
“I don’t know how to blow-dry hair.”
Bai Qingqing lowered her eyes and said, “I originally wanted to ask my brother for help.”
Fu Chen was momentarily taken aback, and then an inexplicable emotion filled his heart. Xiao Yang and Cheng Rui hadn’t been chosen by her. From the beginning, she had intended to come out and find him.
He held the girl’s dark and smooth long hair. She naturally had a head full of hair that resembled seaweed, with twice the volume of an average person’s hair, and the quality was excellent. It felt like touching pure silk.
Fu Chen had been taken care of since birth and had never taken care of anyone. But because she had become clingy and delicate after losing her memory, always relying on him and asking for help with a pout, he gradually got used to taking care of her.
At first, he didn’t know how to blow-dry hair, so he randomly blew it with a few handfuls, leaving her with a messy head of hair. She would look at him with teary eyes, filled with a glistening droplet, complaining.
He couldn’t resist her, so he restrained his impatience and slowly blow-dried her hair.
She is very obedient, like a cute little baby, sitting in front of him, letting him take care of her hair. After doing it multiple times, he has become skilled at quickly blow-drying her hair.
A few minutes later, he finished blow-drying her hair and said, “Done.”
Bai Qingqing touched her dry hair and turned to look at him. “Brother, you’re amazing. Even Tony, the stylist in the city, can’t blow-dry as well as you.”
She loved to hear compliments, and every time her brother helped her with something, she would praise him enthusiastically, exaggerating his skills.
Fu Chen was accustomed to her sweet praises. He didn’t feel much after hearing them and coiled the hairdryer cord. “Put it away.”
Bai Qingqing put the hairdryer into her spatial storage and held his hand. “Brother, don’t leave yet. Stay and talk with me.”
Since she arrived at the Yao Yang Base, she hadn’t slept well. She worried about the safety of the target and was also concerned that Cheng Rui couldn’t control himself and forcibly keep her by his side.
After Fu Chen returned, she felt inexplicably at ease.
She wanted to spend more time with him because her brother doted on her.
The two of them nestled on the sofa, and Bai Qingqing took out two mobile phones. “Brother, let’s play a game.”
Fu Chen wasn’t interested in games. “You can play by yourself.”
Bai Qingqing pouted but didn’t force him to play together. She opened the game and played alone.
Fu Chen watched her delicate profile. At this moment, he didn’t need to do anything special. As long as she happily did her own things by his side, he could feel their presence together.
After playing for a while, Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but sneak a glance at him. When she caught Fu Chen looking at her, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
“Brother, you were peeking at me.” She promptly accused him.
Fu Chen raised an eyebrow. “If you don’t look at me, how would you know that I’m looking at you?”
Bai Qingqing paused for a moment and said, “I know that you were sneakily watching me.”
Fu Chen extended his distinct knuckles and helped her tuck the strands of hair that fell on her face behind her ear. “Brother wasn’t peeking, but rather looking openly.”
Bai Qingqing choked and her eyelashes trembled a few times. She put down the game in her hands and turned to look at him. “Is it because I’m good-looking that you can’t take your eyes off me?”
Her spoiled appearance was particularly charming. Occasionally acting coquettish but not being a burden, it was no wonder that the two men liked her.
With this in mind, Fu Chen furrowed his brows. Unbeknownst to them, the few people who were infatuated with Bai Tian Tian were influenced by Bai Qingqing. They hadn’t actually fallen in love with Bai Tian Tian.
This was a good thing because in the future, they wouldn’t fight over Bai Tian Tian and would be willing to sacrifice themselves for her.
But why did he have a bad feeling about it?
Bai Qingqing noticed the gloomy look in Fu Chen’s eyes and felt a little anxious. She wondered what she had done to make her brother unhappy and why he was scrutinizing her with his gaze.
“Brother, please don’t frown.” She gently touched his eyebrows. “It doesn’t look good like this.”
Fu Chen relaxed his brows and looked at the innocent and clear-eyed girl. A fleeting thought passed through his mind. Whether she had lost her memories or not, he had already placed her in his heart and cherished her as his beloved younger sister.
Xiao Yang and Cheng Rui both showed goodwill towards her. What did she think about them?
Fu Chen asked in a deep voice, “Qingqing, do you have someone you like?”
Here it comes, the question that could cost him his life.
Bai Qingqing immediately sat up straight and said, “No.”
She cupped her small face, blinked her clear and beautiful eyes, and with a hint of coquetry in her voice, she said, “Brother, besides you, I don’t like anyone else.”
Fu Chen stared at her and said, “Not the kind of liking you have for your brother, but the kind of liking towards a man.”
Bai Qingqing pounced into his arms and said in a spoiled tone, “I know what you’re asking, brother.” She lowered her gaze and played with her fingers. “Brother, the world is so terrifying now, I don’t have the mood to think about such things.”
Fu Chen felt relieved after hearing her words. She wasn’t unaware, but no one had made her heart flutter.
Bai Qingqing changed the subject. “Brother, why did Cheng Rui call all of you to the study?”
Fu Chen embraced her and ran his fingers through her long hair. “To discuss how to deal with the Ye family.”
Bai Qingqing knew that the Cheng family would eventually make their move, but she didn’t expect them to decide so quickly. This was probably the butterfly effect.
“We won’t provoke them if they don’t provoke us, but if they do, we won’t let them off easily.”
The Ye family sought revenge for the slightest grievance, and the small team would bear a grudge even if they refused to be recruited. The Cheng family didn’t want the superhumans to become subordinates of other bases, so they would eliminate them if they didn’t join.
“Brother, are you confident?” Bai Qingqing was still a little worried.
The Ye family, as the leaders of the Yao Yang Base, had an army and superhumans under their command. They were not easy opponents.
Fu Chen looked at her graceful face and said, “Don’t worry, as long as you stay obediently at the Cheng family, you will be safe.” He then thought of Bai Tian Tian and advised, “Take good care of Bai Tian Tian.”
Bai Tian Tian had a tendency to act like a saint, and they couldn’t afford any accidents caused by her.
“Okay.” Bai Qingqing didn’t need Fu Chen to say it. She would take good care of Bai Tian Tian to prevent her from causing any crises with her saintly nature.
Bai Qingqing remembered how Ye Jiahui had framed her. Her gaze turned cold. Ye Jiahui had wanted to kill her, but she had turned the tables on her, narrowly escaping Cheng Rui’s clutches.
She had injected venom into Ye Jiahui. As long as the other party didn’t harbor any ill intentions towards her, she didn’t plan to give the order to release the venom. The time had come.
The Cheng family needed a reason to bring down the Ye family, and she would create that reason.
It was getting late, and Bai Qingqing felt a little drowsy. She snuggled into Fu Chen’s arms, closed her eyes, and fell asleep almost instantly.
Fu Chen looked down at the girl in his arms. Her cheeks had a faint pink color from sleep, and her rosebud-like lips tempted him to kiss her.
He furrowed his brows, suppressing the sudden surge of emotions, and lifted her up to place her on the bed, tucking her in with the blanket.
Fu Chen didn’t leave the room immediately. He stood by the bedside, gazing at her peaceful sleeping face.
When she was asleep, she looked completely like a child, with slightly parted lips and shallow breaths. Her appearance was adorable and gentle, softening one’s heart.
