Watching Fifth brother glare at him with irritation, then turn to threaten Wei Ming, while Wei Ming looked confused, "Why is Little Nine Fourth Brother’s boss?"

Bi Xia: ...

"However..." Wei Ming stroked his chin, "If we’re talking about Fourth Brother spoiling Little Nine, that’s true. I’ve never seen Fourth Brother spoil someone like this, right, Second Brother?"

Ji Qiutang smiled lightly, "Yes, after all, even an iceberg melts sometimes. It’s just..." He lowered his head, looking at Bi Xia who was covering his face, and said softly, "He hasn’t met the right person."

"Hmm?" Bi Xia glanced sideways in confusion, while Ji Qiutang just smiled, shrugged innocently, as if he hadn’t said anything just now.

Bi Xia frowned slightly, then looked towards Fifth and Wei Ming, finally sighed, "I think you two can settle the issues of your status privately. We better go out first, of course! If you want to argue, you can, but don’t involve me."

Upon hearing Bi Xia’s words, Fifth snorted coldly, "Stop pretending, I know you two get so chummy you’re like one person."

Saying that, he twisted Wei Ming’s wrist forcefully, glaring, "Quickly call me brother!"

"You brat, Xiao Wu, clearly you’re a girl, calling you brother, you should be calling you sister!" Wei Ming screamed.

Fifth didn’t bother arguing, instead laughed coldly, "Then call me sister! Hurry up!"

Wei Ming: ... Damn it! Just taking advantage of him!!!

Bi Xia curled his lips into a smile, glanced sideways at Ji Qiutang, "Let’s go out quickly, but if we go through the front door, won’t it be too conspicuous?"

Ji Qiutang nodded, "Indeed, it’s too conspicuous, and I can’t be sure if Yu Tian’s people are at the door. If we go out this way, we’ll be exposed..." He paused, "I don’t mind, since they all know what I look like. But for you, if they see you, it’s very dangerous." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Listening to Ji Qiutang’s words, Bi Xia furrowed his brows, turned to Meng Chi, who was looking down at the child in his arms, "Chi, come here."

Meng Chi looked up, stepped forward to stand before Bi Xia, "What’s up, boss?"

"Did anyone see you when you came in?"

"Probably not," Meng Chi replied, "I saw Brother Ming suddenly disappear, so I think Brother Ming might have spiritual power too, and I noticed the direction of his spiritual power was here, so I followed in."

"There was a lot of chaos," Meng Chi recalled the scene before he came in, "but probably no one noticed."

He then looked at Wei Ming and Fifth, smiled at Bi Xia, "Honestly, when I saw the door being kicked in, I knew you were here."

"..." Bi Xia coughed lightly, "Anyway, which way did you come in?"

Meng Chi shook his head, "When I came in, I took the same path you led me and Xiao last time, but..." he pointed at Fifth, "Young Master Wu might know more. After I ran into Brother Ming, Young Master Wu appeared from another direction."

Bi Xia nodded in understanding, while Meng Chi was frowning, looking at the child Bi Xia had handed him, "Boss, we should hurry and get out. Why do I feel like this child is getting colder?"

Bi Xia frowned, raised his hand to check the child’s forehead, indeed it was cold. If Bi Xia hadn’t protected the child’s heart earlier to ensure it was still beating, he might have thought the child was dead already.

Thinking, he exchanged a look with Ji Qiutang, then said to Fifth and Wei Ming, "Stop arguing, let’s get out quickly."

"Fifth, which path did you take when you came, is the exit hidden?"

Fifth released Wei Ming and nodded at Bi Xia, "Very hidden, follow me."

As Fifth headed towards the exit she had kicked open earlier, Bi Xia suddenly chuckled and said softly to Ji Qiutang, "I suspect Fifth created that path herself."

Ji Qiutang’s expression was somewhat difficult to read, clearly thinking of something, he nodded stiffly, "Very likely, eighty percent possibility..."

Thinking, Ji Qiutang laughed helplessly, lowered his head to say something to Bi Xia, but found himself suddenly facing those bright, cold starry eyes, startling Ji Qiutang who took a step back.

"What’s wrong with you?" Bi Xia slightly frowned.

"N-nothing..."

"Hey," Bi Xia glared at Ji Qiutang, lowered his head to straighten his vest, noticing the collar pulled too far, annoyingly pulling it back. Despite having a gender converter, he also wore a chest binder...

Suddenly, Bi Xia felt a weight on his shoulder, warm breath enveloping him as he stared at the jacket draped over him, glancing sideways at Ji Qiutang.

Just watched Ji Qiutang smile nonchalantly, his clear eyes calm and smiling, wearing a simple white t-shirt making him look like a freshly graduated student, clean and warm.
