The black Cayenne drove straight ahead, showing not the slightest intention of slowing down.
In the back seat sat a man in a perfectly tailored suit, though without a tie. His shoulders rested loosely against the seatback. On his cold, handsome face, his eyes were shut as he quietly rested.
The driver caught sight of an unfamiliar face at the gate. The instant he got a clear look, a flash of amazement crossed his eyes.
Having worked under Li Sheng for many years, he had seen countless beauties—both men and women—throwing themselves into his boss’s arms.
Not to mention those strikingly good-looking people, Li Sheng himself possessed a first-class appearance.
And yet, despite all the beauty he’d seen, the driver still found it hard to take his eyes off the person standing outside.
Amazed as he was, his foot on the accelerator did not ease up in the slightest.
Just as he was about to pass through the gate, with a loud bang, the person who had stunned him just a moment ago suddenly crashed into the car door.
“Stop!”
Feng Qi, who had been waiting under the scorching sun all this time, naturally wasn’t about to let the car vanish before his eyes.
He pressed his whole body against the car, intending to block it with himself.
The driver, experienced as he was, hit the brakes just in time the moment the man came at the car.
Whether it was the jolt from braking or the commotion outside, Li Sheng in the back seat suddenly opened his eyes.
The depth in his brows and gaze carried a chill that could make one’s blood run cold. The aura radiating from him was enough to trigger instinctive fear.
Cold sweat broke out on the driver’s forehead as he stammered, “Boss Li, someone just suddenly ran into the car.”
As he spoke, he rolled down the window, intending to have the security guards pull the man away from the vehicle.
The security guard was startled as well.
“Hey, are you alright? Even if you want to see Mr. Li, you can’t just act so recklessly!”
He reached out to grab Feng Qi’s arm.
Feng Qi pushed him away.
“Get out.”
Feng Qi was still calling out to the man sitting inside the car.
Inside, there was only a driver and a man seated in the back.
The scent Feng Qi had picked up wasn’t coming from the driver.
That left only the man in the back seat as his target.
Through the not-fully-rolled-down window glass, Feng Qi caught sight of the man’s brows and eyes, sharp and fierce, making his heart jolt violently.
“You—get out.”
Feng Qi fixed his gaze straight on the man, calling to him for the third time.
At last, the man turned his head, slowly rolled the window down, and looked at him.
Their eyes met. Feng Qi could feel his own heart pounding wildly, as if slipping further and further from his control.
A dense, stinging pain spread through his chest, making his face grow even paler.
“I brought you your son.”
Feng Qi’s long, well-shaped fingers clutched tightly onto the window frame, his body almost too weak to hold itself up.
This frail, utterly weakened body of his, having endured the scorching sun and then flung itself against the car, was now staying upright only through sheer, stubborn willpower.
He knew he couldn’t hold on much longer.
So, before he collapsed, he seized every second to say, “Your son is three years old. His name is Feng Yuan, and he’s never been to school.”
“He’s very smart and very adorable. He’s the best child in the world.”
“He’s also your biological son.”
“You have to raise him.”
Those last words, Feng Qi bit down on especially hard.
After saying all this, Feng Qi had still wanted to hold out until he could personally hear Li Sheng’s answer.
But he couldn’t wait that long.
The stabbing pain in his chest, the weakness flooding his limbs, and the heavy fog clouding his mind, all of it forced Feng Qi to bend over.
Blood welled up at the corner of his lips.
His bent body finally gave way completely, collapsing to the ground.
When the security guard went to help him, he was horrified to find that the man seemed to have stopped breathing.
“Mr. Li! I think this man is dead! I can’t feel his breath!”
“His heartbeat seems to have stopped, too!”
The security guard’s panicked voice left the driver so rattled he could hardly speak. “Boss Li, I swear I braked in time! I didn’t hit him!”
Faced with a human life at stake, the usually composed driver also lost his nerve.
The only one who remained calm at the scene seemed to be Li Sheng.
No, strictly speaking, it wasn’t calmness. It was indifference.
He looked down at the man lying on the ground, the one who claimed he had come to bring him his son. In a low, magnetic voice, he unhurriedly ordered, “Bring him in. We’re going to the hospital.”
With Li Sheng’s command, both the security guard and the driver regained their focus.
The security guard lifted the man into the car.
The driver stepped on the gas, heading straight for the hospital.
Before the car started moving, Li Sheng asked the security guard in a faint voice, “Did he bring the child with him?”
The security guard shook his head without even thinking.
“Mr. Li, he didn’t bring a child. He came alone.”
“No, wait, he did bring a chick. A plump little chick that ran into—”
Before the report was finished, Li Sheng withdrew his gaze, clearly uninterested.
The driver also didn’t bother listening to the guard’s rambling.
He pressed on the accelerator, intent on getting the man in the car to the hospital as quickly as possible.
As the car drove away, a cold wind swept past.
The sweat-soaked security guard shivered involuntarily before returning to his post and closing the gate.
As for the plump little chick that had run into the villa estate, he had no mind right now to catch it for stew.
Time ticked by bit by bit.
After wandering all around the villa, Feng Yuan still hadn’t found his Father.
He chirped unhappily and was just about to turn back to look for his father when something caught his eye—a fence not far away.
Beyond the fence was another house.
Phoenixes were very sensitive to scents.
Feng Yuan twitched his little nose and caught a faint trace of a smell from that house—one he was familiar with—along with another scent that was damp and gloomy.
The latter reminded him of the evil demons sealed away in the World of Mountains and Seas, making him very uncomfortable.
The former, however, was exactly the same as the scent of the child he had rescued yesterday.
Feng Yuan hesitated for two seconds, then waddled over on his little claws.
As usual, he tried to squeeze through the fence.
All the iron fences looked the same.
But this time, the moment Feng Yuan started to squeeze through—just as he had easily done earlier—he was stunned to find he couldn’t move forward.
His round, chubby little body was firmly stuck.
“Chirp!!”
Feng Yuan kicked his claws desperately, trying to fling his little plump body free.
But whether he pushed forward or backed up—claws flailing so fast they left afterimages—his chubby body didn’t budge an inch.
“Chirp!”
Dad!
Failing to free himself, Feng Yuan raised his tender little voice and called out for his Dad.
His chirps cracked from the strain, but his Dad still didn’t come.
Under the baking sun, the temperature of the iron fence grew hotter and hotter.
Stuck in place, Feng Yuan kicked his claws, called out, and even pecked at the fence with his soft yellow beak.
He tried everything he could think of, but nothing worked.
In the end, his little claws cramped from kicking, his voice turned dry and hoarse, and his beak went numb from pecking.
He didn’t dare waste any more strength.
“Chirp.”
Dad.
Feng Yuan drooped his little head and called out in a very, very soft voice.
After all, he was still young. Being stuck like this, unable to move, made fear creep into his heart.
He lowered his head, chirping quietly, his damp black-bean eyes holding back tears.
He held them in and held them in, but still, tears dripped down one by one.
Just when Feng Yuan thought he would be stuck here for a long, long time, a shadow suddenly fell over him.
Someone stepped up in front of him.
“It’s you.”
The voice was unfamiliar, but the trace of scent was one Feng Yuan recognized.
He sniffled and lifted his little head, his tear-filled black-bean eyes reflecting the figure of a child.
Yesterday, that child had been covered in blood. Today, he was clean and neat, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, standing right before him.
Feng Yuan tilted his head. “Chirp.”
He didn’t expect the other to understand his chirping. Instead, he used his barely movable little wings to point at his own chubby body.
He pointed and gestured, meaning for the child to pull him out.
Qin Xun watched him signal for a long moment before finally squatting down.
He reached out and touched the round, plump little body stuck in the fence.
So fat.
Lowering his gaze, he thought to himself, No wonder you got stuck.
Qin Xun grasped Feng Yuan’s chubby little body and slowly began to pull him out bit by bit.
Feng Yuan cooperated by sucking in his belly to help himself slip free more easily.
No one knew how long they had worked at it.
Thump—
Feng Yuan was suddenly yanked out. His plump little body rolled across the ground a few times from the momentum.
He rolled around until he was dizzy, stars still sparkling before his eyes.
“Chirp!”
Feng Yuan lay on the ground, weakly letting out a chirp.
Qin Xun’s fingertip unconsciously rubbed him, seemingly quite pleased with the soft, plump feeling of the little chick.
He picked up the tender yellow chick from the ground once again.
Feng Yuan: “…”
Being rubbed on his little belly, the other’s touch gradually sharpened Feng Yuan’s black-bean eyes.
This technique, this posture. It was exactly like Uncle Zhang petting dogs in the alley!
“Chirp!”
Not wanting to be treated like a dog, Feng Yuan bit down on Qin Xun’s finger without holding back.
Bold little brat! How dare you pet your big brother!
Feng Yuan angrily nipped Qin Xun several times, but Qin Xun wasn’t bothered.
He held Feng Yuan and stood up, heading back to the villa.
Inside the villa were several servants, each busy with their own tasks.
They kept their heads down and didn’t greet Qin Xun, focusing solely on their work.
Feng Yuan watched them. The more he looked, the more he couldn’t help but curl his little claws in.
His once-confident little head quietly buried itself into Qin Xun’s chest.
Such, such heavy demon aura!
The damp, dark smell Feng Yuan had sniffed earlier now filled the entire villa. The scent was so strong it made Feng Yuan sneeze.
Before coming, he had been full of confidence, thinking he could deal with the evil demon.
After all, their phoenix mission was to slay demons and maintain peace in the human world!
But now, smelling such a heavy demon aura, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but clutch tightly onto Qin Xun’s shirt with his little claws.
Qin Xun’s white shirt had already been smeared with dust by Feng Yuan’s little dirty claws.
In the past, Qin Xun would have already gone to change clothes by now.
But this time, he didn’t rush to change.
He carried a plate of cut fruit from the kitchen, washed his hands, then placed a piece of fruit into his palm and brought it to Feng Yuan’s mouth.
Feng Yuan had followed Dad all morning, looking for his Father.
His tummy was already very hungry.
“Chirp.”
Seeing the fresh, sweet-smelling fruit, Feng Yuan chose to eat with a hint of fear.
He tasted the little fruit.
A few seconds later, his black-bean eyes brightened, and he let out a satisfied chirp.
Using Qin Xun’s palm as support, Feng Yuan pecked eagerly with his tender yellow beak.
So delicious!
It was the first time he had ever eaten such sweet fruit!
Qin Xun supported Feng Yuan’s chubby little body with one hand, while feeding him fruit with the other.
Besides the fruit, Feng Yuan also ate Qin Xun’s lunch.
After eating his fill at Qin Xun’s place, some of the fear in Feng Yuan’s heart eased.
He opened his black-bean eyes and scanned the surroundings.
“Chirp.”
I want to go back now.
Feng Yuan couldn’t handle the demon aura here; he was ready to go back and get help!
He only chirped that he wanted to leave, without actually making any move to go.
But Qin Xun stopped him.
“Isn’t it better to stay here? Why do you want to leave?”
Qin Xun rubbed the round little belly in his hands and asked, “Is the food here not tasty? Or is the bed uncomfortable?”
Feng Yuan had eaten Qin Xun’s food and slept in Qin Xun’s bed.
Yet he chirped that he still wanted to leave.
His Dad was still waiting for him!
“I can bring your Dad here, too. You and your Dad can both live here,” Qin Xun continued.
Feng Yuan shook his head: “Chirp.”
Dad won’t come.
After chirping, his black-bean eyes suddenly widened in surprise, then he realized: “Chirp chirp?!”
You can understand what I’m saying!
Qin Xun gave a hum in response, his hand rubbing the little belly without stopping.
From the very first chirp Feng Yuan made, he could understand him.
Not only could he understand some strange sounds, but his eyes could also see many things others couldn’t.
For example, the woman lying on his second uncle, shedding bloody tears.
For example, the baby sitting on his aunt’s shoulder, desperately strangling her neck with bloodied little hands.
And also, the woman in white following his aunt…
He told them everything he saw.
Then, he became the “little monster” in their mouths.
After his parents died in a plane crash, the people who were supposed to have custody of him started avoiding him one by one.
At first, they only avoided him; later, they came to hate him.
They all wanted him dead.
And their plan almost succeeded.
If it weren’t for this chubby little chick, Qin Xun knew he would have died yesterday.
The little chick didn’t just save him.
Being with him made Qin Xun feel warmth all over his body.
He could always sense the dampness in this house.
Feeling this faint warmth, his fingers pinched the chick’s fluffy little belly, his tone losing the gloom it once had: “Don’t be afraid of me. I won’t do anything to you.”
“I just want to repay you.”
As soon as Qin Xun mentioned repaying a favor, Feng Yuan’s tense little body finally relaxed.
He hopped a bit on Qin Xun’s leg: “Chirp chirp.”
If it’s about repaying a favor, you have to listen to me!
Feng Yuan: “Chirp chirp!”
Hold me and take me to find Dad. I want to find Dad!
Amid Feng Yuan’s chirps back and forth, Qin Xun held him and started walking out.
Though Feng Yuan usually spends his afternoons running around outside picking up scraps, full of energy, in truth, sometimes he gets lazy too.
Now that the sun was shining brightly outside, he nestled steadily in Qin Xun’s arms, his little wings guiding Qin Xun to walk in the direction he wanted.
A child and a chick walking outside, like a little lord being carried. Feng Yuan didn’t notice at all that the small bottle hanging from his neck was still lying alone under a nearby fence.
“Chirp?”
Do you know the people inside that house?
Feng Yuan was being held, his round black eyes spinning as he asked about the house he had just been looking for.
Qin Xun glanced up and replied, “I’ve met them.”
“There’s only one person living there, named Li Sheng.”
When Qin Xun’s father was still alive, he had accompanied him once to meet Li Sheng.
Feng Yuan: “Chirp chirp.”
Say more!
Urged by Feng Yuan’s chirps, Qin Xun told him everything he knew about Li Sheng.
Li Sheng’s family, the Li clan, was a low-profile and mysterious aristocratic family.
It was said that Li Sheng had several siblings, and both parents were still alive but had settled abroad.
Li Sheng’s relationship with his family wasn’t very good.
Qin Xun had overheard his parents gossiping once. His mother was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, complaining to his father: “The Lis are so strange; they really prove the saying, not one family, don’t enter the same door.”
Qin Xun hid his parents’ complaints and didn’t tell Feng Yuan about them.
Holding Feng Yuan, Qin Xun soon arrived at Li Sheng’s doorstep.
The gatekeeper at the door saw Qin Xun and paused for a moment.
“Young Master Qin.”
The gatekeeper recognized Qin Xun. His gaze fell on the little chick Qin Xun was holding. He silently regretted it.
That chick still looked so fat!
If only he had gone looking for it earlier.
Just as the gatekeeper was regretting, Feng Yuan started chirping loudly.
Qin Xun pinched his little claw and calmly translated his words: “The person who was just standing here? Where did he go?”
“Ah, Young Master, you know that person? Mr. Li took him away.”
“He was hit by a car… I felt his heartbeat stop.”
Thinking about what had just happened, the gatekeeper was still shaken: “Mr. Li should have taken him to the hospital. I don’t know if he can still be saved.”
As the gatekeeper finished speaking, Feng Yuan flapped his little body, nearly slipping out of Qin Xun’s arms.
“Don’t worry.”
Qin Xun lowered his head and whispered to the little chick in his arms, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Qin Xun knew exactly which hospital Li Sheng went to.
Holding Feng Yuan, he took a few steps forward, hailed a car at the gate, and left.
There was a top private hospital nearby, owned by Li Sheng himself.
Qin Xun found it without trouble.
Not only did he find the hospital, but he also found Feng Qi’s ward.
Feng Qi had just been rescued and was sent to the ward.
At the ward’s door, Feng Yuan saw two people standing there.
For some unknown reason, the two of them didn’t leave but stood at the doorway.
They were whispering to each other.
One asked, “Is Mr. Li still inside keeping watch?”
The other replied, “Yeah, this is really unprecedented. It’s the first time I’ve seen Mr. Li guard someone like this. Oh, and I heard the person Mr. Li is guarding is supposedly very good-looking.”
The first one curled their lips, “That person may look good, but he’s way too scheming. I heard from the driver that he deliberately ran into Mr. Li’s car…”
The other was shocked, “What? Seriously? Isn’t that a total green tea act?! He must be trying to play the victim, pretending to be weak to gain Mr. Li’s sympathy!”
Their whispering flew back and forth.
Qin Xun held Feng Yuan, his face expressionless as he watched them.
Feng Yuan’s little wings bristled in anger, “Chirp, chirp chirp!”
Feng Yuan’s angry chirping startled the two.
They looked at each other, then at the chick glaring and chirping at them nonstop. They instinctively asked, “What is this chick yelling about?”
Feng Yuan flapped his wings, “Chirp!”
Qin Xun: “……”
Qin Xun didn’t translate Feng Yuan’s chirping. He just said coldly with a stern face, “Step aside. We need to go in.”
The two people at the door found Qin Xun somewhat familiar.
They stepped aside to let Qin Xun in, but stopped the chick he was holding, saying, “This is a high-level care ward. A chicken can’t just casually come in.”
Feng Yuan: “Chirp! Chirp chirp!”
Qin Xun paused, then translated, “He says he’s not an ordinary chicken; he’s a little green tea.”
Feng Yuan’s dad was called a big green tea by these two.
Feng Yuan, this little one, got angry and insisted he was a little green tea. It makes perfect sense.
And the last chirp was Feng Yuan wanting to scratch those two bad guys to death.
Qin Xun didn’t translate that last chirp.
