Ever since his conversation with 948, Xie Qi had become remarkably cautious. He began scouring the internet for information and took the initiative to learn how to cook. Every morning, Xie Qi would quietly rise, tip-toe into the kitchen, and don an apron to meticulously prepare a lavish and delicious breakfast for Gu Ze'an.
The eggs had to be fried to a perfect golden hue, the bread toasted until crisp and fragrant, and the milk warmed to just the right temperature—he spared no detail, striving for absolute perfection. Beyond cooking, Xie Qi took on nearly all the household chores, both large and small. He was unfailingly attentive and considerate toward Gu Ze'an, keeping his every mood, whether joyous or gloomy, and every aspect of his daily life at the forefront of his mind. If Gu Ze'an showed even the slightest hint of fatigue or displeasure, Xie Qi would notice instantly and find ways to coax a smile back onto his face. Even Lu Yichuan, upon witnessing this behavior, couldn't help but remark that this Alpha was even clingier to the Gu family than an Omega.
In his spare time, Xie Qi had 948 bury a system-generated human skeleton beneath the plot of land that Gu Ze'an had long desired. The realism of the skeleton was so perfect that even the most experienced and sharp-eyed forensic pathologist would have unhesitatingly identified it as authentic human remains.
