Chapter 1181: Little Angel and Neurotic 23

Xi Er came out of the Main Gate, staring blankly at the anklet on his ankle, trying to break it with his already feeble angelic divine power.

He was curled up with legs drawn up in the garden swing, studying, but discovered that from this spot he could just see a corner of the fourth-floor open-air balcony.

Xi Er gradually loosened his grip, tilted his head up, and saw Jin Chen and Shen Liuqing sitting close together; he saw Shen Liuqing seeming to smile, but Jin Chen had his back to the balcony, so he couldn't see clearly.

Shen Liuqing also saw Xi Er.

His heart stirred, he suddenly rose and wanted to embrace Jin Chen, 'A Chen, you must believe me; even if I made mistakes before, I still have you in my heart...'

Shen Liuqing lunged at empty air.

Jin Chen moved away with extreme speed, almost rising from his wheelchair.

'Get lost.'

Jin Chen's brows knit tightly, his expression instantly turning fierce.

Shen Liuqing nearly fell, only able to steady himself by holding the railing, feeling frustrated, yet his peripheral glance furtively drifted toward the garden below.

'A Chen... I didn't mean it.'

A familiar green-tea scent.

Something's off.

Jin Chen immediately looked downstairs, but there was no one there.

Strange, Xi Er isn't here; who is Shen Liuqing putting on this show for?

No matter who he's doing it for, just don't get involved with him.

'I don't want to waste time listening to your useless repentance; spit out whatever else you have to say.'

Seeing that this person had become impervious to persuasion, Shen Liuqing could only resort to his final trump card.

'These years I've been in Faguo, but I've still been concerned about your condition; Laolunsi said your leg isn't the worst, it's mainly a mental issue.'

Shen Liuqing glanced at Jin Chen's legs covered by a blanket, still somewhat concerned, but now it was obviously not the time to say it.

'You also know my maternal grandfather is an expert in this; I can have him treat you, but I have a condition.'

Jin Chen lifted his eyelids, 'Speak.'

Shen Liuqing gazed into his dark, sullen eyes, his gaze affectionate, 'My condition is that we get back together.'

Jin Chen's mouth twitched, his low voice carrying a hint of chilling cold.

'Let your maternal grandfather treat your brain.'

'As if he's sick.'

Shen Liuqing flared with anger, 'Jin Chen! Must you speak so sarcastically to me?'

The emotionally unstable Jin Chen grabbed the teapot and hurled it over.

'Get lost.'

This time, without Laolunsi to block him, Shen Liuqing couldn't dodge in time and was hard hit; shards sliced his neck, blood pouring forth.

He clutched his neck in pain, looked at Jin Chen with disappointment, and could only flee in disarray.

Jin Chen leisurely wiped his hands, frowned, and looked down at the garden, still feeling something was off.

He rose and walked slowly downstairs.

But as early as ten minutes prior.

Xi Er had already forcibly broken the iron ring buckle, leaving the mansion with his hands bloody.

Shen Liuqing could heal Jin Chen, and so could he, if he reclaimed his own Energy Heart Stone.

The front courtyard's old residence.

Luo Ruian was trying Earth's novel delicacy when the sudden appearance of Xi Er startled him, nearly sending the glutinous rice ball flying from his hand.

'You're sick! I'm not coming to you, yet you dare show up at my door!'

His red hair bristled, his attitude extremely foul.

Xi Er calmly regarded him, saying he wanted to speak privately.

Luo Ruian gave him a white-eyed glance, brushed off the debris, stood up, and said, 'Now you're pretty much the same as before; it seems… even after a trip to Earth, you haven't changed at all.'

Luo Ruian brought Xi Er to the pavilion behind the old residence; it was very tranquil, only encountering a servant along the way.

He didn't know that the servant had been instructed by Jin Xiangming, who had seen him and Xi Er alone together, to place a monitor there.

They had long suspected Luo Ruian wasn't an ordinary human, and these days of interaction had confirmed it—many of his habits were completely unlike a normal person's, and they needed to prove it.

'How come, you're not afraid I'll kill you?'

Luo Ruian snorted, caught sight of Xi Er's still-bleeding right hand, a flicker of disdain in his eyes, then a sudden insight made him scan the surroundings warily, only relaxing after confirming Jin Chen wasn't in view.

'I warn you, don't try to frame me!'

Xi Er's right hand still trembled, yet he paid it no mind; though sensitive to pain, perhaps from enduring many beatings, he could bear it when alone.

He lowered his gaze, his snowy lashes and long hair shimmering faintly in the sunlight.

'I know you took the Energy Heart Stone because you feared I'd leave Earth without permission and return to Tian Shi Xing.'

Luo Ruian frowned suspiciously, 'So?'

'I've already decided to stay on Earth permanently; you needn't worry I'll leave.'

Xi Er's attitude was very firm, his beautiful brows and eyes flashing sharply, 'So, return the Energy Heart Stone to me.'

'What?!'

Luo Ruian looked at him as if he were an idiot; although he hadn't intended to let Xi Er return safely, hearing those words from Xi Er himself meant something else entirely.

'You actually volunteered to give it up… no, that's not allowed.'

Luo Ruian reacted, 'What if the Federal Team comes to investigate?'

Xi Er remained calm, fingertips stroking the diamond ring Jin Chen had given him, 'I can take the blame.'

'As you wish, I will take upon myself the blame for coming to Earth without permission.'

According to federal law, I will be stripped of my Tian Shi Xing residency status, as well as my federal citizen certification, and will remain forever on Diqiu.

Luo Rui'an: "……"

Every time Xi Er spoke, he was startled into taking a deep breath.

Although Diqiu is fun, this place is too backward, lacking everything; staying here forever differs from being exiled to a barren star... Well, it's still quite different.

But it still feels very off!

He eyed Xi Er suspiciously, "When did you become so obedient? Even if your federal citizen status is stripped, your Energy Heart Stone will still be reclaimed."

Xi Er still didn't look at him, merely fixing his gaze on the swaying flower on the ground, his voice low.

"As long as I can possess it temporarily, that's fine."

Apart from Jin Chen, he could lose anything.

As long as I can obtain the Energy Heart Stone and use angelic divine power to cure Jin Chen's illness, it doesn't matter if it's later taken away or if I suffer eternally from the pain of losing the stone.

Luo Rui'an felt that Xi Er, having been with Jin Chen for a long time, originally had an odd personality, and now it's become even more insane.

Although Xi Er does this, from any perspective it is very advantageous for him.

"No……"

Luo Rui'an still hesitated, "What if you go back on your word!"

Xi Er slowly lifted his gaze to look at him, his blue eyes unfathomably deep, like an abyss of the sea.

"What are you afraid of, brother?"

Luo Rui'an: "……"

Somehow, it inexplicably feels a bit chilling.
