A faint smile appeared on Qin Yi’s face; the icy youth’s smile didn’t have a tinge of warmth at all.
Du Ruan who was smiling foolishly felt a chill down his spine. ‘What’s going on? Why did the temperature drop all of a sudden?’
Seeing that Qin Yi was on the verge of exploding, Lin Bai said amicably, “Why don’t we just call him ‘Qiqi’ [1]? I think it’s not bad.”
Lin Qing wiped the sweat off his forehead and hurriedly nodded in agreement. “I think that Qiqi sounds great. We’ll call you Qiqi then.”
‘Aiyo, damn, this person has such a strong imposing manner. He’s exactly like Boss even when he’s mad. No wonder Chu He liked him so quickly.’
Qin Yi composed herself. She could get by with Qiqi.
“You need a code name as well.” Lin Bai smiled at Qin Yi.
All six of them each had a unique codename. Whenever it wasn’t convenient to reveal their real name, they would replace it with the codename. After some time, this codename also became their other name.
Qin Yi knew about this too. Lin Bai’s codename was Da Bai, and Lin Qing’s codename was Fox.
However, she was horrible at coming up with names. It was obvious from the little Ice Phoenix’s name and she couldn’t think of any codename at this moment.
Qin Yi deliberated for a long time and her fair slender fingers kept tapping the table. Finally, she said slowly, “How about Overlord?”
She thought the name was domineering and suited her very well.
Lin Qing was drinking a sip of water and when he heard what Qin Yi said, he nearly spat everything out.
Even the gentle Lin Bai couldn’t help but laugh.
Qin Yi had grown much taller through marrow washing in the Origin Space, but she was still a girl, after all, and was a lot shorter compared to Yun Huan and the rest.
Also, Qin Yi had eliminated the adverse effects from her anorexia in the past through marrow washing but she still hadn’t nourished her body back.
As a girl, Qin Yi was already very skinny, not to mention when she was considered a boy.
Lin Qing and the others felt that Qin Yi was very thin, and they could tell at one glance that she was malnourished.
She had very fair skin but didn’t have a trace of a healthy rosiness at all.
Qin Yi had a face that was prettier than girls and although her iciness had reduced her femininity, she still looked like a pretty boy at one glance.
Hence, this Overlord codename was really incompatible with Qin Yi. It was like a little child wearing an adult’s shirt. It was just hilarious.
Even Yun Huan, who always had a straight face, had a bit of laughter on his face.
Lin Qing recalled the time when he was 16 years old and compared it with Qin Yi. His heart immediately ached.
Yun Huan looked at Qin Yi overly frail body. “A bit too skinny. Eat more.”
Qin Yi looked at Yun Huan in surprise. The cold young emperor had actually spoken up and cared about someone.
Lin Qing and the rest didn’t find it odd at all. They knew that their Boss was cold towards outsiders but was very protective and cared for his own people. He just didn’t know how to express himself sometimes.
Lin Bai also found Qin Yi too skinny. “Boss is right. Yiyi, you need to eat more.”
Lin Qing’s heart ached when he looked at Qin Yi mainly because he was too similar to the Lin Bai in the past.
He knew that this guy wasn’t as harmless as he looked but Lin Qing still couldn’t help but care for him.
Lin Qing also knew that food was in short supply right now and he solemnly swore to gather some food. He must nurse Qin Yi back to good health no matter what.
Each member in Yun Huan’s team was very protective and since Qin Yi had become their Qiqi, they would treat her as their true brother.
