Chapter 1303 - 1299: Tit for Tat
Just as Bi Xia had guessed, Bi Xiaoyuan and Xiao Wu really didn’t get along, but even though they both looked small, they were high‑IQ kids. What’s more, Xiao Wu was the condensed form of the top authority in their galaxy’s scientific community—no need to even mention his intelligence—so the moment they met, they both instantly recognized the other as their rival, be it on Bi Xia’s side, or on the battlefield of acting cute and pretending to be obedient. It was like they were destined arch‑enemies.Of course, all of this was born in that split second when their gazes met.
Xiao Wu looked at Bi Xiaoyuan standing opposite him, wobbling a bit at the top of the stairs, then raised his chubby little face with a squinty smile and cooed in a milky voice, "Hello, Brother Xiaoyuan~~~ I’m Xiaowu, Sis’s little brother. Please take care of me from now on."
007, who’d been unilaterally treated as a nemesis by Bi Xiaohai, happened to be leaping along the stair rail when he passed Xiao Wu and heard that fake, syrupy voice. His body jolted, and he nearly slipped off the stairs. He hurriedly steadied himself, cast Xiao Wu a look of disdain, and let out a meow: [I’m telling you, you’re overacting way too hard. That’s disgusting.]
[Disgusting?]Xiao Wu kept his face all smiles as he looked at the expressionless Bi Xiaoyuan, but inside he said lazily, [As long as it disgusts my opponent, no amount of acting is too much.]
007: ...
He clicked his tongue, and as the barking of a dog came from behind him, the corner of 007’s mouth twitched. He truly couldn’t understand how he’d gotten stuck with such a dumb dog! He rolled his eyes and stopped talking to Xiao Wu. Then he lightly sprang off the stair rail and landed neatly on the floor below.
Seeing 007 jump down, Bi Xiaohai’s beady little eyes flashed, and he suddenly leaped up as well. Hmph! Think you’re so great just because you’re light on your feet?! I can do it too! The number one main pet in this house can only be me, Old Black!!!
His front paws had just landed on the stair railing; as his hind legs were about to push off, his beady eyes froze, staring straight down at the floor below. The whole dog panicked and started flailing with all four legs, desperately trying to turn around. Oh my god, why is it so high? Is that cat insane?!
Just when Bi Xiaohai felt like his dog life was over and he could only wait to hit the floor, a pair of small hands suddenly wrapped around his little belly. Bi Xiaoyuan looked at Bi Xiaohai with a calm face. "Are you stupid? He’s a cat, you’re a dog. He can climb trees—can you?"
Bi Xiaohai froze. Well, that’s true.
"Bun, what’s wrong with Bi Xiaohai?" Bi Xia’s voice floated up from downstairs.
Hearing Bi Xia’s voice, the indifference on Bi Xiaoyuan’s face instantly softened into something cute and cuddly. Hugging Bi Xiaohai, he replied in a soft voice, "It’s okay, Brother. Just now Xiaohai was playing with 007 and tried to copy 007 jumping down from the stairs, but I stopped him~"
"Tsk." Bi Xia clicked her tongue, shot a glance at the lazy black cat sprawled on the sofa, and smiled with a meaning hard to read. "Bi Xiaohai was chasing you?"
007: ...
"Don’t play word games like that." 007 rolled his eyes. "I wouldn’t be interested in that dumb dog. And to think I spent so many favor points to redeem that detergent. Sure, his IQ went up, but why is his behavior still that stupid?"
"Don’t underestimate our Bi Family General. He’s our family’s number one general. And from what Little Bun says, whether in Qing City or over at the Ji Family, Bi Xiaohai is practically everyone’s sweetheart."
let out a cold, indifferent "oh." "Then those dogs must be blind. I’m System 007, the strongest male‑god system. Having high standards is hardly my fault."
Bi Xia chuckled softly, glanced toward Xia Shi and the others in the kitchen, and lowered her voice to 007. "Keep it low‑key at home, don’t start talking and scare them."
"I know, I know what I’m doing." 007 shook his head. "If I get too lazy, I’ll just go back into the system. I haven’t touched my games in days—my hands are itching."
"Internet‑addicted teen."
Bi Xia laughed lightly. Suddenly, her phone buzzed, and she froze for a second. Before she could even pull it out, she felt her earlobes start to burn, and her heart gave a hard thump. She yanked out her phone, and when she saw the message on the screen, the smile on her face vanished in an instant, leaving her expression utterly blank, with not a hint of emotion.
Upstairs, Bi Xiaoyuan was holding Bi Xiaohai and staring at Xiao Wu opposite him. After a long moment, he said slowly, "Brother is mine."
Xiao Wu smiled faintly. "Sister is mine."
Bi Xiaoyuan let out a cold laugh and put Bi Xiaohai down. Seeing Bi Xiaohai bare his teeth in a grin at Xiao Wu, he patted Bi Xiaohai on the butt. Only after Bi Xiaohai wiggled his butt and ran downstairs did Bi Xiaoyuan straighten up and look down at Xiao Wu from above, speaking coolly, "You’re still young, so I won’t bother with you. Anyway, I came first, you came later."
Xiao Wu smiled in quiet amusement. "You’re wrong. It’s because I existed that you got Sister."
As he spoke, Xiao Wu fixed Bi Xiaoyuan with a deep look. "Let me be honest with you: I don’t like you at all. I haven’t liked you since the moment I learned you existed."
