Chapter 1163: Xiao Tian Shi and the Neurosis 05

Jin Chen seems particularly fond of feeding; while having breakfast together, he still holds the person in his arms to feed, and he already learned from 0731 what happened this morning.

He lowered his hand from the person's waist in the embrace, then took out a silver bracelet from the wheelchair's storage compartment, pointing at the diamond clasp and said: "If you can't find me later, just press this."

He personally put it on Xi Er, so now both his hands and feet are bound.

Xi Er didn't know the bracelet had a tracking function, nor did he know that as soon as he left this manor, Jin Chen would immediately get the news.

He just lowered his head to look at the bracelet, obediently nodding.

Jin Chen stroked the beautiful long hair of the person in his arms, "What's your name?"

Xi Er was biting into a sandwich; hearing that, he looked up at him and spoke his name in the language of Tian Shi Xing.

To Jin Chen's ears it was just a series of gibberish.

After Xi Er finished speaking, he still looked expectantly, as if he thought Jin Chen could understand.

Jin Chen: "……"

What gibberish.

Forget it, I can't understand.

Xi Er's expectant expression stiffened on his face, somewhat dejected as he lowered his gaze.

The ever-looming sense of danger and unease grew heavier.

If we can't communicate, will I be quickly driven out by this man?

I don't want to leave.

He was a bit anxious, put down the sandwich, gripped Jin Chen's hand, and tried to speak with difficulty.

"Understand..."

Xi Er grabbed his hand and placed it on his own throat, "Can."

The tacitly understanding Jin Chen instantly grasped the meaning, following the motion, his thumb lightly stroked the Adam's apple, as if playing with a kept pet, his smile deepening.

"Can you learn to speak our words?"

Xi Er nodded, his voice as thin as a mosquito, "Can."

So, please don't drive me away.

He trembled slightly, his gaze toward Jin Chen filled with pleading.

"In that case, let's learn."

Jin Chen also didn't want him to be only a mute here; for Xiao Tian Shi, learning language is the easiest thing.

Upon hearing that, Xi Er became happy, thinking of Jin Chen's initial question, he again extended his slender white fingertip to point at his own chest, repeated his name once more, then pointed at Jin Chen, tilting his head in puzzlement.

"Jin Chen."

After saying that, Jin Chen hooked his fingers into the long hair and played with it, his tone extremely domineering: "You must learn my name first."

Xi Er repeated Jin Chen's pronunciation in his mind, his pale pink lips slightly parted, but when he spoke only one word came out.

"Chen..."

As he spoke, he looked expectantly at Jin Chen, his rippling blue eyes flashing with luster, as if wanting to be praised again.

"Not bad, you learn quickly." Jin Chen said, pinching Xiao Tian Shi's delicate chin, "From now on, that's what I'll call you."

Xi Er lightly blinked his snow-white long lashes, feeling a bit tense due to the sudden closeness, his breath slightly caught.

He neither dared nor wanted to resist this person.

But just as he was about to be kissed, Xi Er suddenly felt a pulling, stabbing pain in his chest, a bloody taste surged up his throat, and he violently pushed Jin Chen away, turning his head aside.

As the fresh blood was spat out, the stabbing pain intensified.

He let out a muffled pained groan, clutching his chest tightly, instantly losing all strength and collapsing into Jin Chen's arms.

Jin Chen, holding the person, had a moment of bewilderment; logically, the early-stage side effects of losing the Energy Heart Stone shouldn't be so obvious…

He didn't have time to think further, softly soothing, the earlier gloom vanished without a trace.

"Good, take your hand away."

He gently pulled away Xi Er's hand that was pressing on his chest, his cool palm pressed against the chest, not attending to much, he transmitted Spiritual Power into the unprotected heart.

Xi Er's lips still had fresh blood, a smear of red on his pale face was especially glaring, his sickly cheek leaned against Jin Chen's chest, as if it might disappear at any moment.

Jin Chen's deep brows and eyes showed worry, while transmitting Spiritual Power to protect the chest, he lightly patted Xi Er's back.

As the heart fully absorbed the Spiritual Power, Xi Er gradually came to his senses, the anguish of being pulled also gradually faded.

But he remained extremely weak, worse than yesterday's condition.

If he doesn't retrieve the Energy Heart Stone for a day, his body will grow weaker with each bout of side effects, until death.

With his consciousness clear, Xi Er could feel an unusual power within his body, different from the power of the Energy Heart Stone.

Xi Er lowered his gaze to look at Jin Chen's hand resting on his chest, frowned in puzzlement, yet heard a low, mellow voice softly sound beside his ear.

"Don't ask too much." Jin Chen withdrew his hand and tightened his shirt.

He again became cold and domineering, as if the earlier gentle coaxing had merely been an illusion.

Xi Er blinked his wet eyes, slowly leaned back against the firm, strong chest, just as Jin Chen said, not asking further.

The blood at the corner of his lips was brushed away by Jin Chen's thumb, smeared onto his face, like a blooming poppy.

His pure demeanor gained an eerie touch from that smear of blood, like a captured beast-pet weakened.

Xi Er instinctively touched his face, but Jin Chen raised a hand to stop him, "It looks very good."

His dark green pupils held a morbid affection, as if admiring a great work of art.

Xi Er sank into that gaze, his outstretched fingers slowly curled, his heartbeat quickened again, an indescribable feeling of need and pleasure gradually filled his entire chest.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value 10, accumulated 10!】

Jin Chen took a cup of water for him to rinse his mouth; Xi Er obediently tilted his head back and drank; at the moment the glass moved away from his lips, his chin was pinched up, and the unfinished kiss landed on the edge of his lips.

A strange yet pleasant scent covered all of Xi Er's perceptions, leaving only the intimate distance and the sensation of his tongue tip at this moment.

Xi Er's frail body was held tight by Jin Chen, leaving no chance to escape; this somewhat pathological urge to control nevertheless made Xi Er feel reassured.

The anxiety and unease that had existed since waking yesterday dissipated; Xi Er didn't realize this was pathological and domineering, only knowing they weren't a useless Xiao Tian Shi, so they didn't have to worry about being abandoned at any moment.

As the kiss deepened, Xi Er began to lack oxygen; their pale cheeks flushed, stirring the heart, and they slumped even more helplessly in Jin Chen's embrace, lacking even the strength to move their arms.

Jin Chen narrowed his eyes, finally relenting to release the Xiao Tian Shi on the verge of suffocation, stroking his head like a reward and praising his obedient cooperation just now.

"Very good."

Xi Er's eye corners flushed crimson; shyly lifting their gaze to look at him, their head lightly rubbing against his palm, feeling delighted inside.
