"Xi Li ? What are you doing outside ?" , Xiu asked when she saw him approaching her and Muxiu .

"See that guy up there ? I ran from him" , he pointed at Xi Mu .

Xiu chuckles . The fight of siblings can't be cuter than this .

"Ey Muxiu , meow meow" , Xi Li tries calling him . He knows what he does will be in vain because Muxiu is one of kind , like his 'master' .

Muxiu hides behind Xiu's legs . Signaling he doesn't want to be close with other people . Xiu takes him and carries him in her arms . "Muxiu , cannot like that" , she said and walks closer to Xi Li .

"Here , pat him"

"I don't want ! See this scar ! It's all because of him !" , he whined while showing the scar on his arm .

"He's not like that anymore , just try it" , Xiu convinced him .

Xi Li gives up and moves his hand closer to Muxiu's head slowly . He is somewhat afraid but tries to be calm as he can so Muxiu is not afraid of him . His hand slowly reaches Muxiu's head and pats him .

"Eh ?!" , he shocked . Muxiu just relaxes and licks his paws when Xi Li pats him a few more times .

"Xiu Xian , you earn my respect !" , he salutes her .

Xiu just laughed watching his childish behavior . "Salute for what , huh ?" , she asked and pat Muxiu again . Muxiu seems sleepy and sleeps in her arms .

"Salute ! You tamed two devils such in a short time ! See that guy ! He's gonna come here for sure" , he said while eyeing Xi Mu . Xi Mu glares at him and moves to them from the stairs .

"See ! See ! I just said it ! He's just afraid I will snatch you away . I will run first , sister-in-law!" , he said and run far from the scene .

Xiu just smiled watching their childish behaviors . So it's like that to have a sibling .

"Eh , where is he going , huh ? He must be talking bad about me , right ?" , Xi Mu said as he saw Xi Li run away from him . " I'll catch him !" , he rolled up his sleeves signaling he was ready to fight .

"Ey , stop it !" , Xiu grabbed his arm . " See this guy , where I'm gonna put him ? He asleep" , Xiu signaling her eyes to Muxiu on her arms .

"Hmm...let's put him inside" , he said and switch Muxiu from her arms to his arms slowly . Don't want to wake Muxiu up . He has to deal with that brat , Xi Li .

...

"Dad..." , Xiu approached her dad .

"Yes , why dear ? Are you hurt ?" , Qi Heng Yang asked softly .

"No...it's not that . About me , can you just tell uncle I've been found dead ? I'm sure that's what Mu Yan will tell uncle as he wanna protect me too . Let me plan for my revenge , is it okay dad ?" , she asked for certainty from her dad . Making sure her dad knows about her plan .

Qi Heng Yan went silent for a while . Thinking hard about his beloved daughter . "Hmm...okay...but where are you gonna live ? You can't randomly choose your place , that's for sure" , he said firmly .

"She will live here" , suddenly a voice intervened .

"Xi Mu ?" , she saw Xi Mu walks into the room with the files in his hand .

"I also cannot let her roam freely outside , uncle . I believe here was the safest place for her" , he said confidently .

Qi Heng Yan smiled and gently shook his head . He put his hand on Xi Mu's shoulder and said , "Okay , I will put her into your care" , he gave his approval to let Xiu plan her revenge safely .

"Dad.." , Xiu said and made a sad face as she feels touched by her dad .

"Don't make that face" , he said and whispered to her , "I know you also don't want to leave here"

"Dad ! It's not like that !" , she denied his dad's assumption .

"Yeah yeah whatever !" , he snickered and take his leave , "Tell your mum too . I don't guarantee she will say yes" , he yelled from outside .

Xiu chuckled and shook her head . "Dad , dad..."

"So you...not gonna leave ?" , Xi Mu looks serious .
