甜蜜的小狐狸

She paused for a moment, then continued, “male friend. Not mine. I’m here to treat your big brother.”

“My big brother’s male… friend?” Gu Jinxi looked at Aluo with suspicion.

Aluo snorted and said with an arrogant tone, “Boyfriend!”

As he spoke, he grabbed Gu Zhixing’s hand, interlocking their fingers tightly.

Gu Jinxi took a moment to process the information in his mind.

His big brother’s boyfriend.

Big brother’s boyfriend.

What? Big brother? Boyfriend?

Finally, it dawned on Gu Jinxi, and the anger that had been suppressed by Lu Miao earlier flared up once again.

“So, you’re not a pretty boy. You’re a little fox spirit! You’re the one who’s been tempting and distracting my big brother all these years, preventing him from coming home, right? I’m going to fight you!”

Gu Jinxi stood up again, ready to charge forward. Aluo wasn’t backing down either. “What do you mean tempting and distracting? It’s your family that kicked Leo out.”

They rolled up their sleeves, ready to confront each other once more.

These two little firecrackers were explosive, each outdoing the other.

Lu Miao and Gu Zhixing exchanged a look and, in unspoken agreement, each grabbed one of them, forcefully separating the pair.

“Don’t delay your big brother’s treatment. ”

Gu Jinxi remembered Lu Miao’s previous words about treating his big brother and looked over at Gu Zhixing, wanting to ask what was going on. However, still feeling awkward from their recent argument, he hesitated to speak up. He moved his lips but ultimately said nothing.

Lu Miao reached out and ruffled Gu Jinxi’s hair, which was standing on end from their scuffle. She saw the bloodstains and bruises on his lips and gently treated his wounds with the first aid kit she had.

Aluo’s injuries were worse. His nose was bleeding, and his face was swollen and discolored.

Gu Zhixing sighed and lifted Aluo’s chin, tilting his head gently to tend to his facial wounds.

Aluo bit his lip and whispered, “Are you upset that I mentioned our relationship in front of your younger brother?”

“No, there’s nothing to hide anyway.”

Gu Zhixing sighed and tapped his forehead. “I’m just amazed that I’ve spoiled you so much over these years. Your skills are so lacking, yet you’re so impulsive. Luckily, you encountered Jinxi this time. He’s just as inexperienced as you. If it were a criminal with a knife, you’d probably be in the emergency room by now.”

Although Aluo was older, he maintained a carefree, youthful nature. When he and Gu Jinxi fought, it was like two inexperienced novices clashing.

“Heh, who are you calling inexperienced? I’ve been busy practicing for the racing competition recently, neglecting my combat skills. I just secured first place in the racing team. After the race, I’ll practice a bit and show you guys how skilled I am.”

Gu Jinxi glared at them, dissatisfied with their banter.

Lu Miao helplessly reached out and turned his head back, and as Gu Jinxi looked down, his gaze coincidentally landed on Lu Miao’s wrist. He noticed a large bruise there.

Subconsciously, he asked, “Sister-in-law, how did you injure your wrist?”

“It’s nothing. I accidentally bumped it.” Lu Miao casually tugged her sleeve down to cover her wrist, swiftly finishing the treatment for Gu Jinxi’s facial swelling.

The medicinal materials and bucket were prepared by Lu Miao during her last visit. Gu Zhixing had gone to the hospital for an examination yesterday and received the test results today. Surprisingly, the alarming rate of bone dissolution had actually halted!

This morning, Aluo couldn’t contain his excitement and called Lu Miao, eager to have her provide a second treatment for Gu Jinxi.

Lu Miao saw that Gu Zhixing had already treated Aluo. She told him to quickly soak in the medicine and prepare to start acupuncture.

Before Lu Miao arrived at the hotel, everything was already prepared.

Seeing that Gu Zhixing had finished tending to Aluo, Lu Miao gestured for him to quickly soak in the medicinal bath, getting ready to start acupuncture.

Meanwhile, Gu Shiyan drove to the hotel’s entrance and immediately called Gu Jinxi on his phone.

“Where are you?”

Gu Shiyan hung up the phone, got out of the car, and entered the hotel. He headed straight for the elevator.

Two minutes later, Gu Shiyan stood in the suite’s living room, staring at Gu Zhixing sitting shirtless in a bucket at its center. His body tensed for a moment, then he calmly took a seat on the nearby sofa.

He had so many questions he wanted to ask. Why had he suddenly appeared here when he knew Gu Zhixing had taken that flight? Why did he return to Luo City but not come home to see them? How did he know Lu Miao, and why did he seem so familiar with her?

Did he know about their relationship with Lu Miao?

In the end, he only raised an eyebrow and glanced at Aluo beside him before speaking with an icy tone, “Was this the reason you left home all those years ago?”

Unlike Gu Jinxi, Gu Shiyan exuded an imposing presence from his long-standing position of authority.

Even though Aluo was a year older, under Gu Shiyan’s gaze, he couldn’t help but nervously take a step back.

Seeing this, Gu Zhixing stood up and blocked Gu Shiyan’s line of sight, about to speak up.

However, Lu Miao, who had been witnessing the situation, couldn’t take it anymore and directly interjected, “Both of you, shut up.”

At this rate, their treatment for the day would be futile.

Both Aluo and Gu Zhixing clearly observed Gu Shiyan’s previously dominant aura vanishing instantly.

Lu Miao looked at Gu Zhixing and ordered, “Sit properly.”

Gu Zhixing blinked, oddly obedient, and sat back down in the medicinal bath.

Lu Miao retrieved the acupuncture tools and began placing needles on Gu Zhixing’s body while saying, “Until I’m finished, no one is allowed to make any noise.”

The chaotic atmosphere in the suite quieted down instantly..
