As Xuanwu sighed in relief, Chi Jing's gaze turned toward him. "Xuanwu, let's go."
"Go? Go do what—oh! Let's go eat, Host!"
For a moment, Xuanwu was caught off guard and nearly said something wrong!
"Xuanwu, are you okay? Why were you so nervous just now?" Chi Jing asked with a concerned look.
'Indeed, after all these years, I’ve forgotten that while Host is usually fine, if he’s in a bad mood, someone is bound to suffer.'
Thinking of the fate that had befallen Youya Wen after provoking Chi Jing and his group, Xuanwu couldn't help but mourn for three seconds. 'Sigh, why did I have to provoke him of all people?'
Maintaining a calm exterior, Xuanwu replied to the suspicious Chi Jing, "I’m… I’m fine. By the way, Host, let’s hurry downstairs! They’re probably waiting for us!"
"Alright, Xuanwu, don’t overthink it!"
"We came to Small World to enjoy a vacation; I won’t act like I did before."
Chi Jing looked Xuanwu up and down, guessing at his thoughts before jokingly continuing.
"Oh, got it, Host."
Seeing that Xuanwu had stopped his wild thoughts, Chi Jing swept his gaze around once more.
"And Xuanwu, don’t be too tense. Just in case—I mean just in case—if something goes wrong—"
Xuanwu looked at him with a meaningful expression and felt that something was "very" off. He directly interrupted him, saying, "Stop right there, Host. I'm perfectly fine, don't jinx me!"
"Oh, I see. Xuanwu, we've been dawdling for so long; it's time for us to head down. Let's go."
With that, Chi Jing dashed downstairs and plopped down into a chair, starting to eat heartily. Though his movements were quick, they remained elegant.
Father Chi sat at the dining table, intending to say a few words, but was promptly silenced by Mother Chi and had to give up.
Mother Chi looked at Chi Jing with a satisfied expression. Noticing he was thirsty, she instructed a nearby servant to bring him a glass of water.
"Jing'er, is there enough to eat? If not, I'll have the kitchen prepare more."
Mother Chi gazed at Chi Jing with soft eyes as her gentle voice resonated from across the table.
Seeing Mother Chi about to signal the servant again, Chi Jing quickly replied, "That's enough, Mother. Once I finish eating, I need to head to school."
Upon hearing this, Mother Chi had no choice but to relent, though a hint of regret crossed her well-maintained features.
"Alright then, Jing'er, make sure you head to school early."
"Don't forget to pick up Chen'er from the airport around five this afternoon. You two haven't seen each other in years; I'm sure you'll both miss each other terribly."
"Sigh, how time flies! In the blink of an eye, you’ve both grown into such handsome young men. Do you remember back in the day..."
Your mother has started nagging about old stories again!
You little brat, hurry up and eat, then get lost!
Seeing Chi Jing still standing there in a daze, Father Chi directly shooed him out of the house with his lips.
As soon as Chi Jing stepped outside, he got into his family car, driven by a professional chauffeur hired specifically for them, heading to school.
"Xuanwu, who is Chen'er? I’ve never heard you mention them before."
Chi Jing glanced at Xuanwu, who was buried in the system space, happily munching away. There was truly no image to uphold!
Hearing the noise, Xuanwu lifted its little head, looking somewhat silly.
"Ah? Chen'er? Host, wait a moment, let me check."
Chi Jing thought to himself: I really want to say I don’t know it; this thing is actually my system... It’s quite frustrating...
"I found it, Host. There is indeed someone by that name in the original world, but there isn’t much description about them."
