Chapter Index
    Jiao Bai took antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medicine and felt a little better. He asked Uncle Zhao to get him a basin of water and wiped himself down, not daring to take a direct shower for fear of falling.

    He couldn’t even stand steadily on his own now.

    “Xiao Jiao, the cargo hold is dirty and cold, and it’s easy to get crushed by cargo boxes. It’s not safe. You can’t go there anymore, just lie here with me.” Uncle Zhao was reluctant to speak harshly. This kid had injured himself all over to help him avoid being ostracized by his colleagues. He was someone who could endure.

    As the old saying goes, a child who can endure usually has no one to care for him.

    Uncle Zhao touched the plastic basin to test the water temperature, and when he felt it was cold, he pulled open the stopper of the thermos and added a little hot water: “Is it easy to wipe your back? Should I help you wipe it a few times?”

    “No need.” Jiao Bai refused the uncle’s kindness. He had already roughly checked the injuries on his back through a small mirror, and they were as if he had suffered severe abuse.

    Jiao Bai didn’t even apply the ointment that Uncle Zhao gave him, for fear that Qi Zi Zhi would smell it. He was ready for the other party’s inspection at any time.

    For Jiao Bai, he could hurt himself to complete the goal, even if he was covered in injuries, but kneeling was not okay, being slapped was not okay.

    He was just such a stubborn person with self-respect.

    So,

    the current situation was better than in the Shen family, better than when he was dealing with Shen Ji.

    Jiao Bai fell asleep drowsily, lying on his stomach. When he was woken up by Uncle Zhao, it was already dark.

    Dinner was stewed cabbage and steamed buns.

    Uncle Zhao rummaged through a large travel bag in the corner and pulled out a bottle of “Nutrient Express,” holding it with his rough, dark hands and handing it to Jiao Bai, saying that it was nutritious to drink.

    Jiao Bai had been hungry for several days and couldn’t eat and drink heavily for the time being. He only ate half a steamed bun soaked in water at noon. By now, his stomach had recovered a little, but he still didn’t dare to eat too much.

    Mainly seasickness.

    Jiao Bai took a few sips of the “Nutrient Express” Uncle Zhao gave him one second, and the next second, he sent them and dinner into the trash bag. He grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth, and listlessly lay on the old table pieced together from several planks.

    He never wanted to take a boat again in his life. If anyone forced him to go to sea again, he would jump ship.

    It was just like people who get carsick would rather walk than get in a car.

    Uncle Zhao twisted the cap back on the “Nutrient Express,” put it away for him, and said an old saying: “You’ll get used to it if you sit more often.”

    Jiao Bai waved his hand weakly.

    Uncle Zhao ate all the cabbage and steamed buns, even sucking the soup clean. He was going out to patrol, and Jiao Bai stopped him: “Uncle, if your colleagues ask about me, you know how to make up a lie, right?”

    “… Know, know.” Uncle Zhao’s old face was extremely embarrassed. Although he was an old bachelor who had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

    Besides, even if he didn’t know, he had to say he did. He was really afraid that the young man would call him those vulgar words again, like he did at noon.

    Uncle Zhao turned to the deck and blew his nose.

    The old man floated over like a wraith: “Big guy, don’t you have a gentle embrace of a woman over there? Why are you still here blowing the sea breeze?”

    Uncle Zhao was startled: “I’m patrolling.”

    Remembering the young man’s reminder, his simple and honest expression changed, squeezing out a bit of unnaturalness and embarrassment: “I was too angry during the day. I’m letting him rest tonight. I’m not such a promiscuous person.”

    This was in line with his personality.

    The old man stared for a while, his hand in the pocket of his windbreaker, not knowing what he was holding, bulging out a package: “He didn’t say anything to you, did he?”

    Uncle Zhao’s movement of wrapping his long, old down jacket paused, with a confused look on his face: “Say what?”

    The old man took his hand out, put it behind his back, and walked towards the cabin, dragging out his old voice.

    “This ship, I don’t know if it can return to port…”

    Uncle Zhao rubbed his hands a few times, took out a cigarette, and lit it. It could, definitely! He was still counting on the Qi family to come find Jiao Bai, so he could fulfill his wish.

    When the old man was almost done humming his little tune, he went off-key. He glared at the young man at the door of room 203: “I didn’t deliver food to them!”

    Jiao Bai was draped in Uncle Zhao’s military coat. He leaned against the door, his whole body covered in traces that made people’s minds wander, like grass that had been kneaded to a pulp, with the juice overflowing all over the ground, wetting the dust.

    However, in his swollen, drooping eyes, there was no broken halo, but a bright radiance: “Grandpa, thank you for your cooperation.”

    The old man almost choked. Such a thorny thing, the big guy could actually swallow it, and wasn’t afraid of getting pricked with a mouthful of blood.

    “What do you want?” The old man asked with a straight face. This kid said “talk later” to him in the afternoon, wasn’t that to negotiate terms? Secretly throwing him into the sea was the easiest, but he wasn’t sure, he couldn’t see through the other party’s tricks.

    Early morning was the best time, but since he didn’t succeed then, it meant that the initiative was no longer in his hands. It was all the big guy’s fault!

    Jiao Bai said with a smile: “The two in the cargo hold are my companions. Now that I’m out, they will definitely ask you about my situation. If they ask me, what will you say?”

    The old man was a clever person, and instead of answering, he asked: “What do I say?”

    Jiao Bai looked thoughtful: “I don’t want my companions to worry about me, so just say you don’t know.”

    The old man didn’t want to be involved in this matter in the first place: “I don’t know.”

    Jiao Bai nodded, and after seeing him walk a few steps, he suddenly said: “Grandpa, how much money did my companions give you?”

    The old man’s skinny but strong body stiffened slightly.

    Seeing that he was about to reach for his pocket, Jiao Bai couldn’t help but click his tongue: “Don’t grab your dagger every time. This is a civilized society. Let’s talk nicely.”

    “Otherwise, it will be difficult for me.” Jiao Bai sighed pretentiously.

    The old man’s breathing was obviously chaotic.

    Jiao Bai wasn’t in a hurry. This move was like playing cards. Even though he had nothing but small fries in his hand, he had to pretend to be very rich and bluff his opponent.

    The old man was bluffed, and he said stiffly: “One million!”

    Jiao Bai clicked his tongue. He could get one million just for helping with the smuggling… Some people at the bottom might not earn that much in their entire lives.

    As expected, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Qi Zi Zhi’s pockets were quite full. If he went to Xiao Ming Island smoothly, he wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing, and he would have deep brotherly affection with Li Jue, a loving family, and live their ordinary life well.

    Then Qi Zi Zhi’s ending would be different from the one in the comic. He would have a peaceful and tranquil old age, with his younger brother by his side.

    Jiao Bai touched the hideous pinches on his chin and face. He didn’t know if he would reach Xiao Ming Island, but the ship would definitely not be lost at sea forever, encountering a bizarre shipwreck.

    Just then, a shocking scream came from the cockpit.

    The compass had a reaction!

    The crew members all jumped out of their bunks and ran over. They were thrilled to learn that the compass only moved for a few seconds.

    Because it meant that the electromagnetic field around the sea area was changing, and they had hope. That was great, as long as everyone saved food and held on until then.

    Jiao Bai didn’t share this joy. He wasn’t surprised at all. He even felt a little flustered.

    This was a bloody comic.

    The compass reacting was, to him, a loud warning—Attention! A large wave of dog blood is coming! Please be prepared!

    Jiao Bai went back to his room and huddled up.

    For the next two days, Jiao Bai lived a life of two points: the cargo hold and Uncle Zhao’s room. Dragging his body that not only didn’t get better but was even more injured, he was always semi-conscious, half-dead. He didn’t have the energy to deal with the pair of brothers, one crying and one coaxing. He only watched the activity level increase.

    The old man didn’t deliver any food to the cargo hold.

    On the third night, Jiao Bai was listening to Uncle Zhao’s jackhammer-like snores and thinking about things when the little assistant suddenly notified him that a friend was online and offline.

    It was Qi Zi Zhi.

    At this time, he wasn’t in the cargo hold, but passing by Uncle Zhao’s door. He wasn’t coming out to look for Jiao Bai.

    He was trying to find food in secret.

    Jiao Bai pinched his eyelids to wake himself up. He had to show himself.

    Before that, Jiao Bai went to the toilet and smeared his body with his things.

    Jiao Bai had been doing this for the past two days, risking his life.

    He had really tried his best just now, and he had nothing left, and was mentally exhausted.

    When Qi Zi Zhi left the storage room empty-handed, he unexpectedly ran into Jiao Bai, and the strong smell of semen assailed his nostrils.

    Jiao Bai’s haggard and multicolored face was full of astonishment: “You…”

    Qi Zi Zhi limped into the shadows.

    Jiao Bai was too weak, and he couldn’t catch up with Qi Zi Zhi, chasing him panting and sweating profusely.

    “Don’t follow me.” Qi Zi Zhi didn’t stop, his hoarse voice filled with disgust.

    “I’m going back to the cargo hold.” Jiao Bai supported the wall, moving in small steps, “When I came out, I accidentally saw you, so I followed you. You went to the storage room to find food?”

    “Didn’t find any?” Jiao Bai walked to where Qi Zi Zhi had stopped.

    He had called Uncle Zhao in advance to move all the food away and change the place. If you can find a grain of rice, I’ll admit defeat.

    Jiao Bai gasped weakly: “I have some.”

    Qi Zi Zhi turned his head sharply, his face covered with a mask that he didn’t know where he got the black ash from, his interspersed white hairs were messy, and his eyes under the sword-like eyebrows were full of bloodshot: “What trick are you trying to play again?”

    “I’m like this, what trick can I play?” Jiao Bai asked instead.

    Qi Zi Zhi, who was half a head taller than Jiao Bai, leaned over, pulled down his mask, and his hot, fishy breath attacked like a sharp sword: “You can move between Shen Ji and Qi Yi Liao, can’t you even deal with a few small crew members?”

    Jiao Bai: “…”

    Damn it, he had put on such a show, and the injuries were all real, but he was still suspected.

    Did he have to watch a live broadcast to believe it?

    “This is the sea, Qi Total.” Jiao Bai licked the blood that had cracked from the wound on his lips, “One, I can’t swim, two, I can’t contact the outside world, I can’t use my brain to escape and find helpers, and three, I hadn’t eaten for a few days when you knocked me out and pushed me out, you wouldn’t have forgotten that, would you?”

    Qi Zi Zhi’s festering and infected half of his face twitched slightly.

    “I was unconscious, and even if I had a way, I couldn’t use it.” Jiao Bai seemed to recall the most terrifying memory of his life, and he pulled his ill-fitting old coat around himself, “When I woke up, my whole body was in pain, and I couldn’t even lift a finger…”

    One half of Qi Zi Zhi’s face, which was thinner than when he got on the ship, was under the light of the cabin wall, the half that wasn’t burned. It was still extremely handsome, but with a few more lingering shadows.

    “I fainted, I thought it was finally over,” Jiao Bai chuckled, “Soon I woke up again, and everything was still going on.”

    Qi Zi Zhi remained unmoved.

    The seal was crying again, and it was covering its face with its paws, and tears were flowing from between its fingers.

    Jiao Bai rolled his eyes. What was Qi Zi Zhi’s inner monologue like? I don’t want this, but the world is forcing me.

    “Qi Total, congratulations on getting what you wanted.”

    Jiao Bai’s hand came out of his sleeve, and he tidied his hair for himself: “You wanted to drag me out on the first day and let me relax those crew members. Now it’s come true.”

    Qi Zi Zhi was slightly stunned, and he grabbed Jiao Bai’s clothes, and said gloomily: “That old man hasn’t delivered food for a few days, is that your idea?”

    Jiao Bai looked at him and was frank and ridiculous.

    “I don’t want to talk to you.” Jiao Bai took out a few dry steamed buns from the coat in front of him, “This is for Xiao Jue.”

    Qi Zi Zhi’s expression changed drastically: “I warned you…”

    “Qi Total, I hope you understand that Xiao Jue and I grew up together.” Jiao Bai interrupted, “I hate you, and giving him food, these are two different things.”

    The fingers of Qi Zi Zhi, who was still grabbing his clothes, paused: “You hate me?”

    Jiao Bai: “…”

    Listen to this out-of-context tone, is there something wrong with his brain? How could he crawl out of the same shit pit as Shen Ji? He made me suffer, and still wanted me to forgive him. If I didn’t forgive him, it was my fault?

    “Shouldn’t I hate you?” Jiao Bai laughed, his thin shoulders shaking, “I’m not human or ghost, isn’t it all your fault?”

    The next moment, the smile on his face disappeared, and he leaned closer to Qi Zi Zhi, saying: “Do you want to see what I’ve become?”

    Qi Zi Zhi didn’t move, his nose almost touching the youth’s nose, and the breath was full of blood, and he couldn’t tell who it was on.

    The youth slightly raised his head, and his black and white eyes were under Qi Zi Zhi’s eyelids, and there seemed to be a piece of mud inside.

    With a gentle breath, a small pit could be dented.

    Reflecting his own appearance.

    A hideous and gray look that had been eroded by hatred.

    “Want to see it, right? Okay.” Jiao Bai began to unbutton the black cheap buttons of the old coat.

    Qi Zi Zhi retreated half a step as if stung by a poisonous bee: “What are you pretending to be, it’s all your own fault.”

    “I think you’re right and wrong!” Jiao Bai shouted with red eyes.

    Qi Zi Zhi was stunned.

    Jiao Bai approached again, he touched Qi Zi Zhi’s intentionally exposed, disgusting burn, and picked a place where there was no pus, and used his fingernails to dig in.

    It wasn’t that he was afraid of the other party’s secondary infection and the injury worsened, but that he hated the pus was too smelly.

    “Qi Shuang is dead, if he was still alive, I could confront him in front of you.” Jiao Bai said word by word, “Qi Shuang and I are allies, not me unilaterally using him.”

    “These are two different natures, Qi Total, don’t you understand?” He was so weak that his eyes went black, and he quickly leaned against the wall to support himself.

    The turbid blood was flowing from Qi Zi Zhi’s wound, and the place close to the wound was clean red. He couldn’t feel the pain, and he didn’t have any feelings: “Using the handle to threaten, is this an ally?”

    “That’s not a handle, it’s a bargaining chip.” Jiao Bai’s words didn’t match, and the topic jumped sharply, “I deliberately ate the yellow peaches, I just wanted to make him allergic.”

    Qi Zi Zhi’s face suddenly became ferocious, and the next second, he heard the youth’s sneer, “That night, he was going to drive to kill me!”

    “My brother is gone, and you’re still framing him.” Qi Zi Zhi’s teeth made a chilling friction, wanting to kill him.

    Jiao Bai resisted the urge to slap him.

    The one in front of you is a deep brother-controller attribute, you are prepared. He comforted himself in his heart.

    “Qi Shuang knew that I deliberately ate yellow peaches to send him to the hospital, so when I went to the hospital to see him that day, we had a dispute, and I took the opportunity to propose a deal with him.”

    Jiao Bai laughed, “He regarded me as a stray mutt, and didn’t take me seriously at all, so I had to show my cards. His thoughts on Shen Er An were my first trump card.”

    “The second one is the one you’re thinking about now, the hiding place of Master’s wife and children.” Jiao Bai closed his eyes, “As for how I knew, I would rather die than tell a second person.”

    Qi Zi Zhi didn’t want to threaten him, the Master’s wife and children were no longer important.

    Jiao Bai took his hand down from the burn on Qi Zi Zhi’s face, and his fingernails slowly pulled away from the rotten flesh, making him feel disgusted and happy.

    Qi Zi Zhi was already disfigured.

    “Qi Shuang would enter the Shen family without accident, and I would completely leave the Shen family, we would each get what we needed.” Jiao Bai wiped his fingers casually on his coat, “Even if I didn’t cooperate with him, in the end he would be chosen by the Old Lady. Because he has you behind him, the Qi family, and I have nothing. With the same fate, everyone would choose the one who doesn’t affect the group’s stock price and can go to various occasions.”

    Jiao Bai opened up the part that Qi Zi Zhi didn’t want to admit bit by bit, tore it up and stuffed it into his mouth.

    Eat it for me! You have to eat it even if you don’t want to!

    Hate from Qi Zi Zhi’s whole body poured into other things, but it didn’t seem like it was pouring in, it seemed like it was there from the beginning, but it was covered up, and only then did it show its head.

    Gradually, the hate had impurities.

    “I’m looking for Qi Shuang to form an alliance, but I just want to leave as soon as possible, the sooner the better, I’m tired of being restricted from freedom and living like a dog.” Jiao Bai exhaled, “After that…”

    Jiao Bai’s eyelashes trembled, and the fan-shaped shadow under his eyes also trembled: “I’m not a god, I don’t know that in a few months, Miss Liang will be obsessed with Shen Ji at Good Place building because of a relationship, and two months later or how long, she will kidnap Qi Shuang in order not to let him go to register on time, causing his accidental death.”

    This was his true thought.

    When the dog blood poured over, even he, who knew the original plot, was caught off guard.

    Qi Shuang’s lunch box was eaten too early.

    “So,”

    Jiao Bai suddenly opened his eyes: “Don’t throw everything on me!”

    “You know it yourself, Shen Ji owes you, you go find Shen Ji.” Jiao Bai gritted his teeth, “You are like this now, not only incompetent, but also avoiding reality, cowardly and pitiful!”

    The last four words were like a knife, stirring on Qi Zi Zhi’s dignity.

    Just when he was in a trance that he could still experience pain, the youth said lightly: “By the way, Liang Dong surrendered.”

    Qi Zi Zhi slowly raised his eyes.

    Jiao Bai’s back slid down along the cabin wall, he subconsciously grabbed Qi Zi Zhi’s arm to support himself, and raised his face and said, “Zhang Zhen, you know, Qi Yi Liao’s right-hand man, he introduced a person to restart Qi Shuang’s case. That was Liang Dong’s request, he wanted to put himself on the line to seek a truth.”

    “He thinks,” Jiao Bai slowly got up, wiping Qi Zi Zhi’s broad shoulders and walking behind him, “Someone used his eldest sister’s hand to disrupt the situation in South City with Qi Shuang’s death.”

    Jiao Bai didn’t say any more, just touched on it.

    Qi Zi Zhi was crazy, but his commercial sensitivity wouldn’t weaken.

    He didn’t delve into some things, because his brother’s death, his career path being cut off, the departure of old partners and friends, and the collapse of the family, all happened too suddenly. He was immediately knocked down and became a desperate man under the knife, confused. During this period, there was also the link of retaliating against the Liang family.

    Qi Zi Zhi’s thinking completely collapsed.

    As long as you give him a little reminder, when he calms down, he can sort out the inconsistencies inside.

    Jiao Bai walked for a while and stopped to slow down.

    Qi Zi Zhi might return to South City to investigate. If he went back, he was afraid that he would fight with several big families to the death.

    This was not Jiao Bai’s business. As long as his friends each entered the group, it was up to them to live or die.

    Jiao Bai looked at Qi Zi Zhi’s activity level with satisfaction, it was already 36.

    Although the first round of experience made him understand that 50 was difficult to pass, he was still very happy.

    Because it meant that his method was right.

    Wasn’t it just finding the right way to deal with Shen Ji first, and then getting it done?

    Jiao Bai chuckled, what friends, they were just tools.

    Including himself.

    Jiao Bai unknowingly walked to the back deck. There was fog on the sea during the day, but it was gone at night, and what was presented in front of him was a black color that could not be seen to the edge.

    It seemed that something was surging under the sea level, and it would roar out at any time, grabbing all the aliens and dragging them into the seabed.

    Jiao Bai’s bruised body shrank in his clothes, he vomited twice, and stayed in place shaking for a while.

    The deep sea was truly a kind of heart-pounding magnificence.

    “Vomit—”

    Jiao Bai covered his mouth and dry heaved, I’m not pretending anymore, let’s go, let’s go.

    That night, Li Jue caught a cold, his throat hurt, and he couldn’t even swallow a steamed bun.

    Qi Zi Zhi broke off a small piece and coaxed him to eat.

    Jiao Bai had seen Qi Zi Zhi’s pampering side of his younger brother on the boat, and he was used to it.

    《Broken Wings》, Li Jue’s grandmother died, he had no relatives in this world, and he was even more paranoid about Shen Er An.

    Now he has an eldest brother and a second brother, his life trajectory…

    That’s right, where’s Qi Shuang’s second brother? Why didn’t he come with Qi Zi Zhi?

    Li Jue’s shout interrupted Jiao Bai’s thoughts. He went over, ignoring Qi Zi Zhi’s warning eyes, and held Li Jue’s hand that was reaching out to him.

    This picture, it was like a dying will.

    “Jiao Bai… don’t go back…” Li Jue grabbed him tightly, “The big family cares about reputation, you are already… don’t go back to South City, just be with us… me, my eldest brother, and you…”

    Jiao Bai’s eyelids rolled upwards, old brother, I’m a hostage, what, do you want me to be a loving family with you?

    You dare to have this dog blood dream, I’m not willing, okay?

    Before Li Jue said anything more sweet and silly, Jiao Bai said, “I divorced Shen Ji.” Although he didn’t see the divorce certificate with his own eyes, he wasn’t a fool and could sort out the Old Lady’s tricks.

    A gaze came from the left, with a bit of strangeness.

    Probably didn’t expect him to know.

    Jiao Bai didn’t care about Qi Zi Zhi’s eyes and the seal, he was surprised by the increase in Li Jue’s activity level.

    He just had a flash marriage and divorce with Shen Ji, and Li Jue’s interest in him was so strong? No way, no way?

    Since that’s the case…

    “I want to go to West City.” Jiao Bai said, “I have dealings with the Qi family.”

    It soared.

    Li Jue’s and his activity level soared!!!

    More violent than just now. Approaching Qi Zi Zhi’s value directly.

    Jiao Bai was speechless. It turned out that to deal with Li Jue, it wasn’t enough to just work hard on Shen Er An.

    As long as the wealthy nobles in his social circle were big enough, Li Jue would be more interested in him.

    Then, should he bring out the Cen family again to take a walk?

    Forget it.

    The little crown prince of the Cen family had just returned to the country, and he was beset on all sides. He hadn’t made a name for himself yet, and he wasn’t as good as the two old men in South Shen and West Qi.

    “Jiao Bai, how could you be with those people… cough…” Li Jue choked on his saliva, coughed in Qi Zi Zhi’s arms, and still held Jiao Bai’s hand.

    This picture was very speechless.

    People who didn’t know would think they were three brothers.

    Qi Zi Zhi stroked his younger brother’s trembling back, and raised his phone with the other hand and aimed it at Jiao Bai: “Go get cold medicine.”

    Jiao Bai tilted his head, and said in a volume that only he could hear: “Qi Total, what you said is funny, Xiao Jue is your brother, why don’t you get it yourself?”

    Qi Zi Zhi’s chest was blocked: “Aren’t you neighbors who grew up together?”

    “I want him to understand the difficulties of this neighbor’s brother.” Jiao Bai’s volume recovered, “Right, Xiao Jue.”

    Li Jue sobbed and shouted: “Big brother, don’t force Jiao Bai, he was bullied by the people on the boat, if he is found stealing medicine, he will definitely be beaten again… I can bear it, I’m not uncomfortable, it will be fine soon, it’s just an ordinary cold…”

    “Yes, it’s just an ordinary cold, wouldn’t it be better to sleep?” Jiao Bai deliberately stimulated Qi Brother-controller.

    Qi Zi Zhi’s first reaction was to look at his younger brother, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his younger brother was hazy and didn’t hear it. He pulled Jiao Bai to the back of the cargo box.

    Jiao Bai brought his scarred face to the light of his mobile phone.

    Qi Zi Zhi’s anger solidified unconsciously: “You must have taken medicine to reduce the fever before, I know that with your intelligence, you would have stolen a little.”

    “No, no, no, I’m a high school student, what am I smart, I’m not smart at all, otherwise I wouldn’t have tried my best to get rid of the Shen family and failed miserably, and I was manipulated for a period of time and was taken out to exchange for Shen Young Master, and I even had a ex-husband who could be my dad in age.” Jiao Bai mocked himself. He vomited blood when he thought about it, and he had planned a car accident in order to get rid of the dog chain, and even bet on his own life, but what was the result, he was still disgusted by the Old Lady and her baby pimple who got his son in his old age.

    I don’t know if the Old Lady is dead, he still hopes that he can rush to the cemetery and send a white flower in person.

    Jiao Bai saw that Qi Zi Zhi was looking at Li Jue, and his two ink eyebrows, which he once liked very much, were wrinkled together, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of worry and heartache.

    “You beg me, I can tell you where the medicine is.” Jiao Bai smiled.

    Qi Zi Zhi looked at his smile and felt that he was a little devil, too bad. Even if he was tormented by the crew, he was still bad.

    Unlike Xiao Jue, the world is soft and pure white.

    Jiao Bai didn’t expect Qi Zi Zhi to steal the medicine himself, and he was caught.

    The only fortunate thing was that this point was the time when a person was sleeping the deepest, and those who were not on duty were sleeping soundly in their own rooms.

    The one on duty was fighting with Qi Zi Zhi.

    Jiao Bai stood at the corner, witnessing Qi Zi Zhi’s lame leg being stepped on and crushed by the crew member, and his fingers scratched painful traces on the ground. He threw the small plum meat given by Uncle Zhao into his mouth, and it was so sour that he shrank his neck.

    I will never rush up to block Qi Zi Zhi like I did for Shen Er An with iron bars that time.

    Qi Zi Zhi’s burned leg was already rotten, and the rotten flesh was sticking to the pants, and blood was oozing out. He covered his eyes, which revealed a fragile side, with his palms, wanting to give up, but he couldn’t. If he died, what would his brother do?

    Just when Qi Zi Zhi was about to fight to the death, the force on his leg disappeared. He took away his palms and looked over, and couldn’t help being stunned.

    There was an extra rope on the crew member’s neck.

    “It’s just fainted.” Jiao Bai threw the rope away, and said feebly, “Tie him to the cargo hold yourself.”

    Qi Zi Zhi gasped heavily, and the look in his eyes when he looked up at him was unclear.

    “If people are lost, colleagues estimate that he accidentally fell into the sea. The ship can’t return to port, everyone will die, if it can, you can take care of the aftermath yourself.”

    Jiao Bai smiled non-smilingly: “Qi Total, your brother is having a low fever, he won’t die, why bother.”

    Qi Zi Zhi finally had a reaction: “He is weak, unlike you.”

    Jiao Bai: “…”

    He laughed out loud: “Yes, yes, yes, I’m strong, I just got a batch.”

    Qi Zi Zhi looked at the blush that appeared on the youth’s pale face, and the blood-red eyes that were wet and red because of the laughter, and the trembling body.

    He wanted to say something, but the youth had already left without looking back.

    Jiao Bai wasn’t disgusted, he was here to do a mandatory task, happy.

    “Little assistant, can you please don’t be so embarrassed this time, please.”

    【Task Location: First Cargo Hold】

    【Task Target: Li Jue】

    【Task Content: Please sing a complete lullaby for Li Jue, hug him, no time limit. Please complete it within five minutes. 】

    【Reminder: You can’t let the task target leave, you must listen from beginning to end. 】

    【Countdown, three hundred seconds, start!】

    Jiao Bai: “…”

    I knew I couldn’t have any hope for you.

    God, what a lullaby.

    Jiao Bai was a little worried: “Does nursery rhyme count? It counts, right?”

    【Count. 】

    Jiao Bai was overjoyed, then sing nursery rhymes.

    Li Jue, your tone-deaf neighbor brother is here!

    God knows what it felt like for Li Jue to be awakened by a string of strange hums, he was dazed and confused: “Jiao Bai, are you doing a magic spell for me?”

    Jiao Bai: “…”

    “No, I’m singing a lullaby for you.” He squeezed out a smile.

    Li Jue’s face flushed red: “No need… I’m already a big kid, I don’t need it…”

    “Shh.” Jiao Bai hugged him, “Don’t talk, listen quietly.” Be sure to let me complete the task, or I’ll make you cry.

    Li Jue thought blankly, is Jiao Bai mentally disordered? Yes, normal people must want to do stupid things after experiencing that kind of thing.

    Jiao Bai is acting like this now, he has already…

    Li Jue cried.

    Jiao Bai’s humming continued, and his hands were hugging him.

    “What are you doing?”

    A light suddenly appeared in the dark, accompanied by an unbelievable roar.

    Jiao Bai’s heart was unmoved, he knew it would be like this, there were no untrapped mandatory tasks, there was really no free lunch in the world, if you want activity level, you have to suffer. He quickly finished humming the remaining two sentences and let go of Li Jue.

    Qi Zi Zhi pushed Jiao Bai away, and grabbed his younger brother’s shoulder: “What’s going on?”

    Li Jue clenched his soft white hands, and stammered: “Big brother… Jiao Bai and I didn’t do anything… It’s not what you think!”

    It’s like something happened even if nothing happened.

    A little friend who was caught dating by his parents, or the one who was forced.

    Jiao Bai’s heart skipped a beat, it was over, it was adding fuel to the fire. He waited for the little assistant to announce that he had completed the task, and then immediately explained.

    Qi Zi Zhi didn’t believe it, he only believed his younger brother’s helplessness and tears.

    There was a pain in the back of his head.

    Before Jiao Bai could struggle, he was grabbed by Qi Zi Zhi’s hair and smashed to the ground.

    At that moment, Jiao Bai felt dizzy and his ears were full of noise. He felt that his head was cracking open like a watermelon. Jiao Bai touched it unconsciously, but he didn’t touch blood, and under his finger was a bump that he had never bumped into so big in his life.

    It seemed that as long as he pressed it a little bit, the bump would show its stuffing.

    The touch was terrible.

    Jiao Bai relied on his strong will and anger to jump up, pounce on Qi Zi Zhi like crazy, and slap him hard.

    “Can’t you understand human words?” Jiao Bai slapped the left side and then slapped the right side, “I said I was singing a song for Xiao Jue and coaxing him to sleep, I didn’t have any other thoughts, and I wouldn’t hit his idea, did you think I fart!”

    “I’m a fucking 0! 000!”

    The last syllable of Jiao Bai’s roar was muffled in his throat, and Qi Zi Zhi strangled his neck.

    This action, this experience, was familiar.

    Too familiar.

    While Jiao Bai was recording Qi Zi Zhi’s account in his little notebook, he desperately scratched his face, scratching it to pieces.

    Li Jue was frightened, sitting still.

    Jiao Bai was so badly injured, how could he still fight with his brother.

    So was his brother, the flesh on half of his face was scratched off, and his legs were even more…

    Why was this?

    Weren’t they
