Chapter 1456: The Interstellar Pirate Is a Bit Obedient 59
After all, he was someone who’d been rolling around in the mud for years.
The second he saw things going south, he pulled out.
Right before leaving, the leader pushed himself up from the floor and threw out a line:
"Just you wait."
Then he turned around and left.
Su Xiao looked at Su Yan, who was standing in front of him.
He seemed to kind of get why that bastard was acting pitiful in front of her every damn day.
Su Yan spoke.
"Come on, let’s go back."
Su Xiao hooked up the corner of his lips.
"I never agreed to go back with you."
Su Yan looked up.
"You still want to keep fighting?"
Su Xiao said,
"I never asked you to save me. You’re the one sticking your nose in."
Su Yan looked at him.
"It’s not meddling. You’re my little brother. That’s how it should be."
She said it very seriously.
But because of that sentence, emotion surged in Su Xiao’s eyes in an instant.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, like he had a lot he wanted to say to Su Yan.
But in the end.
He suddenly smiled.
He bent down, leaning in close to Su Yan.
His smile was extra reckless.
"Why do you have to choose that useless guy? I’m not a bad option either."
As soon as the words fell—
A smack landed on Su Xiao’s head again.
Su Yan was very serious.
"I’m hitting you to wake you up a bit."
Su Xiao was smacked so hard his head was buzzing.
It really hurt.
He rubbed his head, taking a long time to recover.
Then, in a blink, it turned into biting sarcasm.
"With the way you are, I wouldn’t take you even if you came free."
Su Yan said seriously,
"You won’t get the chance."
Su Xiao shrugged, looking like he didn’t care at all.
"The world is huge, there are tons of men. You can find a few more; no need to hang yourself on him alone."
Su Yan turned her head to look at him.
She’d more or less figured it out.
This guy had hundreds of complaints about Huo You.
He was racking his brains trying to stir things up between the two of them.
She didn’t bother talking anymore.
She reached out, grabbed his clothes, and dragged him toward the elevator.
Simple and brutal.
This time, Su Xiao actually didn’t say anything.
Probably because he knew no matter what he said, he couldn’t resist.
Very quickly, Su Yan brought Su Xiao back up to the surface, to the place they usually lived.
When Su Yan came up in the elevator, the doors opened and she saw Huo You standing right at the entrance.
Their gazes met.
A faint light flashed in Huo You’s eyes.
Then he lifted his hand to pull Su Yan into his arms.
Behind her, Su Xiao rolled his eyes.
He really couldn’t accept this guy.
Why was she so dead set on him??
Su Yan let Huo You hug her.
Then she said to Su Xiao,
"You go back."
Su Xiao walked out of the elevator.
Huo You and Su Xiao seemed to mutually despise each other.
The two of them ignored each other.
As if the other person was just air.
They brushed past shoulder to shoulder.
Huo You didn’t even spare him a glance.
He just kept holding onto Su Yan.
Su Yan asked, puzzled,
"Where were you planning to go?"
Huo You said,
"I was going to look for you."
After that, Huo You added,
"Where did Yanyan go?"
"The underground fighting arena."
Huo You nodded. No wonder she smelled like blood.
What was so fun about that place?
He thought about it for a while and came up with nothing.
Su Yan supported him as they walked back to the ward.
She walked while saying,
"The doctor said you should move around less."
Huo You nodded in answer, being very obedient.
He had that "whatever you say goes" attitude.
But Su Yan was sure of one thing.
The next time she was gone a bit longer—
He’d still come looking for her.
At that moment, Xiao Hua’s voice chimed in.
"Ding-dong, congratulations Host, task ’Protect Younger Brother Su Xiao’ completed."
Everything was going great originally.
Her little brother was behaving, and Huo You’s injuries were almost healed.
But while she was supporting Huo You on their way back to the room—
All of a sudden, under her hand, his warmth rapidly turned cold.
The whole process took just five steps.
She stiffened at the touch.
Looked up.
"Huo You?"
