Bi Xia thought for a moment, "For everything."
"For example... lending me your influence."
If Qin Zhan hadn’t said something to Liu Kai, there definitely would have been a fight tonight. I wouldn’t have gotten hurt, but who knows about Meng Chi and the others.
The key thing is, it also intimidated Xiong Liang and his group, so at least I’ll have some peace for a while.
"And for... taking me to the top of Qingpan Mountain to see the view."
Bringing me into his circle, racing with me, teaching me not to be arrogant. Even though I didn’t need it, it somehow felt warm.
Qin Zhan turned his eyes to look at Bi Xia, who was bending by the window. That small face still showed no expression, but his eyes seemed to speak, lively and bright.
He thought for a moment, leaned over, and took out two boxes of chocolates from under the passenger seat, handing them to Bi Xia. Bi Xia took them, raising an eyebrow at Qin Zhan, "A meeting gift?"
"No," Qin Zhan said lightly, "Seventh Brother likes chocolate. He’s around your age; you should like it too."
"Seventh Brother? The idiot who said I was trailing him?" Bi Xia recalled someone’s appearance gradually becoming clear in his mind.
"Yeah, that’s him," Qin Zhan didn’t comment on Bi Xia’s description, just opened one of the chocolate boxes, took a piece, and stuffed it into Bi Xia’s mouth.
"I’ll take you to meet him next time. If you like, you can call him Brother Qi; if not, just call him by his name."
"We’ll see." Chewing the chocolate with puffed cheeks, Bi Xia felt the chocolate melt in his mouth. The silky texture and rich sweetness made his eyes light up.
"Hmm, whatever you like." Seeing Bi Xia’s expression, Qin Zhan’s brows softened as he took out another piece to feed him. "Tasty?"
"Tasty." Bi Xia nodded, allowing Qin Zhan to feed him the chocolate.
Qin Zhan’s thin lips curled up slightly as he pinched that fair little face, "If it’s good, I’ll buy more next time."
"Forget it," Bi Xia shook his head, "It looks expensive. I’m still broke right now. We’ll talk once I have money."
Meanwhile, in the game room, 007, who was desperately playing King of Fighters, stiffened at Bi Xia’s words. Instantly, the big ’KO’ appeared on the screen. Huh, why not mention how stingy he was?
Qin Zhan also paused but then said, "If you like it, just say so. Fourth Brother can afford it."
Not wanting Bi Xia to refuse, he quickly added, "Or, you can ask Seventh Brother directly next time; he has plenty."
But as it turned out, Qin Zhan was overthinking it.
Since the previous life, Bi Xia had always seemed uninterested in everything. But those who knew her well understood that to win Bi Xia’s heart, you first needed to conquer her stomach. As a foodie, Bi Xia would do anything for good food, even giving up her dignity.
To be fair, Qin Zhan unintentionally did something very right.
During a pause in the game’s restart, 007 gave Qin Zhan a thumbs up. Truly a good impression generator, so reliable.
[Ding~~ Received 10 points of affection from Qin Zhan.]
007: It knew it. No doubt about it, that’s the man it favored.
Eating the chocolate, Bi Xia said, "Are you this nice to every brother?"
Hearing Bi Xia’s question, Qin Zhan smiled and simply replied, "You’ll find out yourself over time."
"Okay," Bi Xia nodded, not holding back, "Thanks for the chocolate... Fourth Brother."
Upon hearing Bi Xia call him ’Fourth Brother,’ Qin Zhan’s heart skipped a beat. He had to admit, that soft, tender voice with a hint of coldness was incredibly pleasant and satisfying.
Qin Zhan thought, this was definitely the most delightful and never-tiring way anyone had ever called him ’Fourth Brother.’
He patted Bi Xia’s small head, his phoenix eyes filled with a light smile, "No need to thank me, as long as you like it."
"Then I’m heading back," Bi Xia said, standing up with the box of chocolates, "Goodbye, Fourth Brother."
Qin Zhan responded, watching Bi Xia walk into the hallway. Every floor’s sensor light lit up as he climbed, until all the lights dimmed again. Only after confirming that Bi Xia had entered his home did Qin Zhan slowly leave.
Though a bit soft, a bit shy, having such a brother to pamper felt really nice.
