C17 I'm Going to Die!!

The shoulder-length layered hair concealed the hint of pink, making it impossible for anyone to discern Chi Xi's emotions from his calm and slightly aloof expression. Only Little Ruixin, nestled in his arms, knew how fast her fourth brother's heart was racing and how excited he felt.

Infected by his joy, Little Ruixin beamed, not at all intimidated by his cool demeanor. She snuggled closer, wrapping her arms around his neck affectionately.

Chi Xi, satisfied, sat down with his sister in his arms and addressed his silly brother, who was about to try and snatch her away. "Aren't you supposed to be on a reality show?"

At the mention of the show, Little Ruixin's ears perked up, and her gaze shifted to her older brother.

Seeing he couldn't hold his sister, Chi Hann grabbed her uninjured hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Someone's causing trouble, so I can head over the day after tomorrow."

"I thought you weren't going," Chi Xi replied.

"No way, not going would mean paying a penalty I can't afford, even if I sold myself," Chi Hann joked, resting his head in his sister's lap, feigning pity. "Xin, your brother's so pitiful~ Tomorrow, I have to head to the countryside to do hard labor, carrying loads, boohoo~"

Just as Little Ruixin was about to lift her hand to comfort him, her fourth brother intervened, grabbing Chi Hann by the collar and pulling him back.

"Did you wash your hair?"

Chi Hann looked at his sister's belly, which had just been rubbed, with a hint of disdain, as if something dirty was on it. He chuckled coldly and continued holding his sister's hand, saying, "Xin, while I'm out working, make sure you eat well, okay?"

"Don't follow your fourth brother's picky eating habits. You're eighteen but still look like a middle schooler, so easy to push around!"

Who's a middle schooler?

Chi Xi glanced at him. "Wanna go one-on-one?"

"No way." Who wants to challenge a black belt?

Chi Hann sat cross-legged on the couch and asked, "Why are you back? Why didn't you answer my video call?"

"I took a day off. Do I need to answer just to see you show off?"

He looked down at the small bruise on his sister's hand, frowning with displeasure. "Maybe he should just have a daughter instead."

Their third uncle's family was a prime example of favoring boys over girls. His ex-wife had three daughters and was publicly insulted for it. It wasn't until a mistress showed up with a son that he threatened to cut off her support unless she divorced.

Hearing this, Chi Hann pulled his legs in and hugged his knees, asking, "What do you spend your days thinking about?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"No, I don't want to."

Chi Xi let out a soft hum and turned on the TV, switching to the kids' channel so his sister could watch cartoons. But Little Ruixin was preoccupied with the thought of her brother going on a reality show. She stared blankly, trying to figure out how to stop him from going. If he didn't go, he'd have to pay a penalty. He said even selling everything wouldn't cover it... What to do?

Little Ruixin nestled into her fourth brother's arms, her small hand reaching out to tightly grip her brother's shirt.

Chi Hann, who was booking a flight, joked, "Does Xin want to go on the show with her brother?"

Go together? Little Ruixin's eyes widened slightly, and she gently tugged on his shirt to get his attention. Could she?

Chi Hann playfully poked her forehead. "No way."

There are too many mosquitoes in the countryside, you have to fetch your own bathwater, and even cook your own meals. He definitely didn't want his sister to go through that.

Feeling a bit disappointed, Little Ruixin snuggled back into her fourth brother's arms. Seeing this, her fourth brother picked up his phone and sent a voice message to the family group chat—Chi Hann made his sister cry. Unbelievable!
