Chapter 9: The top handsome men in the beast world?

Qiao Xi quickly dialed the fourth brother, and soon, the phone was picked up by the other side. However, the voice of that person was that of a stranger.

The voice was low and deep, it was obvious that this person was not the guard that went to the fox race with the fourth brother!

Qiao Xi asked timorously: "You are..."

"I'm the eldest prince of the fox race, Xing Luo." The man's voice was pleasant to the ears, and his speech was calm and relaxed, seemingly unhurried, thus sounding mellow and gentle, "Are you Qiao Xi?"

"Yes!" Qiao Xi asked nervously, "Excuse me, my fourth brother...how is he now?"

"He's alright, don't worry." Xing Luo chuckled lightly, "He's awake, eh....isn't Qiao Xi alright now? Don't blame him."

The second half of the sentence was a bit distant. Obviously, Xing Luo was talking to someone else.

Qiao Xi's fourth brother was receiving gene therapy at the fox race's place. He had been laying in the treatment cabin for five years now, and only woke up once a week.

However, even if he was awake, he couldn't open his eyes, speak nor move. He could only communicate with people through the brainwave device that came along with the treatment cabin. Therefore, whenever Qiao Xi contacted the fourth brother, there would be a guard who would act as a messenger between him and the fourth brother.

It stood to reason that tomorrow was the time that the fourth brother should wake up. Yet, the missed calls from the fourth brother were all during the day, and just now, Jing Yan had also reminded him to call his fourth brother. However, the one who was currently talking to him wasn't the fourth brother but the fox prince.

So, what had happened?

Where was the guard that used to stay by the fourth brother's side? Was it okay for him to wake up earlier than the time was set?

Qiao Xi was already in a mess.

Xing Luo reassured Qiao Xi's fourth brother before he turned to continue on the phone with a helpless tone: "Your fourth brother had already known what happened to you, he wanted to ask you; after living with Jing Yan, why didn't you contact him?"

"But...tomorrow is the time for my fourth brother to wake up." Qiao Xi answered worriedly, "I thought there is no need to bother the fourth brother. Besides, I'm fine. Furthermore, I figured that he wouldn't be aware of this matter yet..."

Qiao Xi assumed that after the fourth brother went to the fox race, he wouldn't be able to know more about the situation here. But, it appeared that this wasn't the case, his fourth brother had been paying attention to what had occurred here since the beginning...

"Qiao Xi, do you take your fourth brother as an outsider? It doesn't matter if your fourth brother has to wake up in advance. Plus, what he wants to know the most is your problem." Xing Luo paused, then he added, "You feel that you were bothering the guard before?"

Qiao Xi was silent.

Seeing that Qiao Xi didn't speak, Xing Luo had already expected this outcome, so he sighed: "Your fourth brother often paid attention to your situation secretly. The guard revived the news on the day you were captured, but he didn't wake your fourth brother up. He intended to let you contact your fourth brother tomorrow on your own. It was me who found out that the guard wasn't quite right. You know, after knowing about this, your fourth brother was so furious that he was about to come out of the treatment cabin directly."

"..." Qiao Xi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

Since childhood, for Qiao Xi, the fourth brother was his closest person. Unfortunately, his fourth brother was in poor health, and he could only hold on until Qiao Xi turned thirteen. And in the end, he could only go to the fox race for the long term gene therapy.
