Sitting on the sofa with his knees bent, Xu Renfei leaned back lightly against the sofa, head tilted back, staring at the ceiling, scenes from his experiences with Bi Xia playing in his mind over and over.

At their first encounter, the young man left him trailing behind the car, who would have thought he was Fourth Brother’s newly recognized Ninth Brother. At their second meeting, he deliberately called out to him in front of the camera, just to see him flustered, but unexpectedly Bi Xia acted contrary to the script, eventually making Xu Renfei plead with the director group to place him in Class H.

The time in Class H turned out to be the most carefree Xu Renfei had experienced in years. It was during this period that his initial intention of enticing Bi Xia to admire him and willingly call him Brother Qi transformed into a deeper understanding and growing fondness for Little Jiu’er, valuing Little Jiu’er more and more...

When facing countless pressures, the young man didn’t speak much but was the first to stand in front of him with that expressionless, infuriating look. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

When he was misunderstood and cursed by countless people, while others played it safe, the youth recklessly, not knowing the gravity of the situation, led his group of brothers to publicly support him on social media.

Facing An Yi’s provocation using his mother to rile him up, the youth quietly pulled him back in time, shielding him from disaster and even taking a punch on his behalf.

The young man didn’t want to be in the limelight too often, but it was him who kept pulling the youth out time and again, be it reality shows or music videos. Truthfully, Xu knew Bi Xia wasn’t indispensable, but he wanted... only Bi Xia.

The young man had many friends; Meng Chi and the others fought alongside him, though Xu wasn’t clear on what they specifically did, seeing Meng Chi and others mature, with suppressed anger concealed in their demeanor, he understood a lot.

Though he never had that look, many around him did.

After experiencing storms, feelings aren’t easily infiltrated with a few words.

Xu Renfei knew well, without Fourth Brother, Little Jiu’er wouldn’t be their Little Jiu’er. Just like now, although Luo Hao and others all liked Little Jiu’er, it’s mainly because Little Jiu’er was brought in by Fourth Brother, while on the other hand Little Jiu’er didn’t belong to any faction in Beijing. For them, Little Jiu’er’s biggest ally in Beijing was Fourth Brother, and Fourth Brother was their leader, posing no threat to them all.

Nobody forged ties easily, even when Xiao Wu joined, they all went through a long process of adaptation, facing several dangers before bonding. The relationship between Meng Chi and Bi Xia was akin to these.

Thus, upon learning about Little Jiu’er and Fourth Brother’s romance, Xu Renfei was indeed surprised, yet more so he felt a hidden, yet inexplicable discomfort. At that time, he didn’t want to delve into the source of that discomfort, not solely because it was still vague, but more importantly... his thought was—

Great, with this reason, Little Jiu’er probably won’t leave them, right...

He wanted to be closer to Bi Xia; he knew his own abilities didn’t match Fourth Brother’s protective prowess, nor did he share Chu Wu’s rapport with Bi Xia, lacking the status to establish his own faction alongside him, so he considered, selfishly inviting Little Jiu’er in... into his circle...

Even though Little Jiu’er might resist, still... even getting slightly closer to him, just a little bit, would be fine.

Otherwise, he truly didn’t know what excuse he would need to speak with Little Jiu’er...

Accustomed to this mindset, Xu Renfei began to feel panicked, realizing he had developed feelings for Bi Xia... though dependency outweighed them, he couldn’t deny, he truly liked him...

Laughing softly, Xu Renfei tilted his head back, grinning.

After realizing all this, he worked hard to suppress these feelings that shouldn’t be.

Repeatedly he reminded himself not to cross the line; you like women, with big breasts and curvy hips; what you feel for Little Jiu’er is likely dependency, besides... Little Jiu’er is Fourth Brother’s... Once, Little Jiu’er suffered much, handling everything alone, but now it’s different, he has Fourth Brother; only Fourth Brother can give Little Jiu’er a sense of security...

But...

A tear slowly fell along the corner of his eye, Xu Renfei bit his lip tightly, for it was Bi Xia, that little rascal, who saved him from a life heading towards ruin!
