nWhile it looked like she was kissing him forcibly, she was in fact sucking up his yang energy. When Chi Shuyan had sucked up enough yang energy, she finally sobered up. The memory of what just happened instantly flashed through her mind. When she realized what she had done, the two of them were still kissing passionately, and Chi Shuyan’s face promptly changed. Her face was a riot of colors. She subconsciously wanted to push him away, but unfortunately, she had just come back to her senses and lacked strength. She even forgot that she was tugging at the other party’s collar, so instead, there was a hint of both desire and refusal.

nQi Zhenbai naturally thought that was the case. The hot kiss initiated by Chi Shuyan was now controlled by the man, who took the initiative instead. He pressed a large hand to the back of her head and kissed her more and more passionately until their mouths and tongues went dry.

nAs the two of them kissed, Qi Zhenbai’s mind fortunately still retained the last vestiges of sanity. He knew that Zhu Bocheng was next to them and that this wasn’t the place for this. At this moment, he really wanted to make the person in his arms his own; furthermore, this kind of desire came so fiercely that he almost outright lost control.

nHe had never felt such a loss of control before. While there was a vague sense of rejection in his heart, there was more delight and a sense of freedom. His frosty face subconsciously turned indulgent. He hugged the woman in his arms who was tugging at his collar and coaxed softly, “Good girl, do you want it? I’ll give it to you tonight!”

nInitially frozen stiff by this scene, Chi Shuyan didn’t know how to react at all. When she heard him, her right eyelid twitched even more and she was scared out of her wits. How she wished she could immediately get away from him and never know him.

nShe hadn’t forgotten that she had rejected him especially thoroughly before. When she thought of how she had just pounced on him and kissed him wildly, Chi Shuyan’s expression became more and more indecipherable. She did want to explain immediately, but she was afraid that the more she explained, the worse she would make things. In the end, she didn’t care what bombs he said anymore, rolled her eyes, and pretended to faint.

nWhen Chi Shuyan woke up in a daze in the hospital, it felt like she had just had a nightmare. In her dream, the cold man with the surname Qi was abnormally gentle toward her. Unfortunately, she really couldn’t bear it. Fortunately, it was just a dream.

n“Sister Shuyan, are you awake?” Zhu Bocheng’s cheerful voice sounded.

nHearing Zhu Bocheng’s voice, Chi Shuyan subconsciously turned wary. She opened her eyes and confirmed that he was the only one in the ward before she heaved a sigh of relief. “What’s wrong? Why am I here?”

nChi Shuyan was immersed in her own thoughts and ignored Zhu Bocheng’s emotional, complex, and gossipy excitement at the moment.

n“Sister Shuyan, you dare forget what happened? Did you forget that when we were on the roof, you suddenly kissed Zhenbai? In the end, you fainted, and Zhenbai sent you to the hospital right away!”

nAs Chi Shuyan listened to the excited gossipy Zhu Bocheng in front of her, each word was like an exploding bullet. The memories that followed made her realize that everything had indeed been real and that it wasn’t a dream. Although she had pretended to faint in the end, she had suffered too many ‘scares’ in a row before that, and didn’t know when she actually fell asleep. Thus, when she woke up just now, she thought it had all been a dream. Her pupils shrank sharply.

nSeeing Sister Shuyan’s blank stare, Zhu Bocheng upheld his desire to put in a good word for his best friend and continued to gossip. “Sister Shuyan, you don’t know, but after you fainted, Zhenbai was so scared that his face turned white and he was so anxious. I’ve never seen Zhenbai care so much about someone.

n“Sister Shuyan, were you interested in Zhenbai all this time? That’s right, Zhenbai also never explicitly told me that he was interested in you. How bad a friend is that? But now, the two of you are together. Congratulations!”

nChi Shuyan, who had just suffered a series of frights thanks to her memories, exploded at Zhu Bocheng’s words of ‘together’ and ‘congratulations’ back to back, until her head turned blank.

nThe tall, cold man pushed the door open right at that moment. When his cold and stiff expression landed on the woman on the bed, it couldn’t help but soften, regardless of the big light bulb next to her. He sat down on the edge of the bed very naturally and asked gently, “Are you hungry?”

nChi Shuyan’s hands trembled and her face turned green and then white. Her vision turned black and she almost fainted for real this time. In the end, however, she failed to pass out. She could only watch as the man got closer and closer. She had an indescribable expression on her face, and wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. “No!”

nThis was Qi Zhenbai’s first love, so he didn’t notice anything strange. On the contrary, his heart softened at the way the woman in front of him stared at him, full of ‘dependence.’ His thin lips parted and he said, “I had someone stew chicken soup and it’s on the way. You just woke up; eat some fruit first!”

nWith that, Qi Zhenbai smoothly picked up a pear and began to peel it with a fruit knife. Unfortunately, this was the first time in his life that he was serving someone, so he was very unfamiliar with peeling. He cut his hand several times, and the person next to him was quite alarmed.

nHowever, the advantage of having good looks was that he looked particularly good no matter what he did. Although the man’s movements weren’t smooth, his posture was incomparably noble as he fumbled his way toward finally peeling the pear.

nNot only did he peel the pear, he also sliced it piece by piece and placed them on a plate. He then stuck in a toothpick and handed the fruit to the woman in front of him to eat.

nCompared with Chi Shuyan’s confusion and stupefaction, Zhu Bocheng looked like he had seen a ghost. Did his friend have to be so scary when he was in love? He had only seen other people serving Zhenbai; when did Zhenbai know how to serve others?

nJust then, a cheerful ringtone rang out. It was obviously Zhu Bocheng’s phone. Only then did Zhu Bocheng snap back to his senses. He snuck several more looks at his friend before picking up the call. Qi Zhenbai gave him a sidelong glance, and Zhu Bocheng immediately didn’t dare look anymore. He hurriedly picked up the call, which was from Father Zhu. Seeing that the building issue was becoming more and more complicated, he was afraid that Father Zhu was worried. “Dad, I’m in the hospital. It’s Sister Shuyan. I reckon she has low blood sugar. Mm, it’s nothing serious. Don’t worry, I’ll ask Sister Shuyan again later! Will you come over later?” Zhu Bocheng hurriedly looked at his best friend and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead when he saw his friend’s displeased face.

nChi Shuyan couldn’t wait for Father Zhu to come immediately and break the awkward and strange atmosphere here, so she quickly said, “It’ll be good if Uncle can come; I just happen to have something to talk to him about!”

nAfter Zhu Bocheng finished speaking to Father Zhu, he hung up and hurriedly said to his best friend, “Zhenbai, it’s not that I agreed without reason; Sister Shuyan herself agreed. Besides, if it wasn’t for my family’s matter, would you be with Sister Shuyan now?”

nCough cough… Chi Shuyan had been eating determinedly and treating the two men in the room as if they were invisible, but when she heard Zhu Bocheng’s last sentence, which tripped her into a pit once more, she promptly choked on her saliva and started coughing wildly.

nQi Zhenbai quickly raised his hand and patted her back seriously, anxious and solemn. He got up and was about to call the doctor, but Zhu Bocheng, who had also been given a fright, hurriedly said that he would do it.

nChi Shuyan was afraid that the two of them would really call some doctor. She twisted her head and could only tug at the clothes of the man closest to her as she coughed. “I’m fine, no need to trouble the doctor!”

nChi Shuyan didn’t know that when she said this, her eyes looked especially teary and seductive from coughing so badly, which softened one’s heart.

nAt least, Qi Zhenbai’s heart melted at the woman’s tearful dependence on him. Thinking that she was throwing a tantrum at him, his heart thumped violently. How could he refuse? He quickly hugged her. “Okay, we won’t call the doctor!” Afraid that his tone was too cold and stiff, the man pursed his lips and added, “Good girl!”
