Si Qing had never spoken to Qi Yu in such a stern tone.
Qi Yu was startled by him, feeling a slight grievance as if being scolded by a younger brother. But then, she thought that he was just worried and angry because he didn't know what she was thinking. The grievance calmed down, and she weakly explained, "I was startled and couldn't dodge."
"Who are you trying to fool? Do you think I don't know your abilities? You deliberately didn't dodge!" Si Qing frowned, his voice becoming even more severe. "If I hadn't arrived in time, that human's claws would have landed on you."
He was already much taller than Qi Yu, and when his voice turned cold, it carried an inexplicable sense of deterrence.
Qi Yu's temper flared up when he was so harsh. "I already said it wasn't intentional. Why are you being so fierce? I've already apologized."
She felt a little guilty, her voice growing softer.
Si Qing felt she hadn't realized how serious her mistake was. He almost lost his sister!
Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes and turned to leave, slamming the door.
Qi Yu pouted.
One hid in the study, unwilling to come out, while the other retreated to her room, not wanting to see anyone.
A second cold war inexplicably began.
An Nuo and Shao Feng were originally busy with their own matters. They only learned about the cold war between the two when they were having dinner that evening.
Qi Yu sat several steps away from Si Qing, with at least five chairs between them.
Si Qing ate his food with single-minded focus, not glancing to the side.
An Nuo noticed that their cold war seemed quite serious this time and couldn't help but ask Shao Feng beside her, "What's going on with the siblings? They look like they just had a fight and are in a cold war."
"I don't know, we don't know, and we dare not ask." Shao Feng didn't dare to breathe heavily. "Let's eat, my dear. After we finish, we'll go for a walk on land. Let's not stay here."
Being baked into a salted dragon on land was better than suffocating in the tense atmosphere of Qi Yu and Si Qing's argument.
An Nuo nodded.
Si Qing seemed unable to hold back any longer. He turned to look at An Nuo and Shao Feng and said meaningfully, "Dad, Mom, did you have siblings when you were children?"
Shao Feng sensed Si Qing's unhappiness. He hadn't intended to provoke him, but hearing his question, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, although not born of the same mother."
"Then, if your siblings did something dangerous, what would you do?" Si Qing asked intentionally.
Shao Feng seemed to understand his meaning, blinked, and then replied meaningfully, "Oh, if that were my sister, I would definitely spank her and educate her. How could she do something so dangerous and make me worry, right?"
Si Qing glanced at Qi Yu with satisfaction.
Qi Yu snorted meaningfully, "Dad, what if you couldn't beat that sister of yours?"
An Nuo, hearing Qi Yu's words, laughed and covered her face. To prevent herself from laughing even harder, she quickly made an excuse to go rest and retreated swiftly.
Shao Feng regretted getting involved in the stormy cold war between the siblings, but it was too late to withdraw. He could only awkwardly reply to Qi Yu, "Uh, couldn't beat her, couldn't beat her, then I'd have to lecture her verbally."
Qi Yu didn't answer anymore and lowered her head to eat her meal silently.
Shao Feng quickly finished the rest of his meal and hurried away.
Immortals didn't need to eat grains.
It was just that Shao Feng occasionally had cravings, so he would eat a meal or two to satisfy them. Who knew this meal would turn out like this? He might as well have gone back to his room to cultivate.
After Shao Feng and An Nuo left, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more desolate.
Si Qing glanced at Qi Yu, who was calmly eating. Thinking of her dangerous behavior and her rebuttal, he felt like beating her to vent his anger.
He regretted listening to her when they were reincarnating. Si Qing thought resentfully. If Qi Yu were his younger sister now, he would definitely beat her until she couldn't sit for three days.
Then he'd see if she dared to stand there foolishly when danger approached.
However.
Si Qing picked up his bowl and sighed again. Actually, more than these things, he was more worried that Qi Yu had some unspoken difficulties that forced her to act that way, and she wasn't telling him.
Si Qing became increasingly dejected as he thought about it.
He put down his chopsticks and sighed.
Qi Yu found it even harder to swallow because of his sigh. She paused, looked up at Si Qing, and seeing his dejected expression, her heart softened. "I was wrong."
She took the initiative to apologize.
Si Qing looked up at her, then snorted. He put aside his thoughts, poked the rice in his bowl with his chopsticks, and asked, "Wrong about what?"
"I won't deliberately stand in dangerous places next time," Qi Yu swore, raising her hand.
Si Qing narrowed his eyes. "Is there anything you're hiding from me and Mom and Dad?"
An Nuo and Shao Feng, who were eavesdropping on the siblings' reconciliation from the corner, exchanged glances when they heard Si Qing's question. Then, they both pricked up their ears to continue listening.
