"The study isn't far from you. If anything happens, just have Tao'er come find me."

"You get some rest. I'll keep watch outside. I'll let you know as soon as I get any news. Don't be afraid, it's safe here."

His deep, quiet voice softened considerably, as if he were coaxing a child.

The more abnormal he became, the less Su Miao knew what to say, and she could only awkwardly avoid his gaze.

After explaining everything, Shen Changji left.

But those words were still echoing in Su Miao's mind, and she could hear her own heart pounding, as if it was about to leap out of her throat.

This feels really bad...

She had always thought she would be happy after the Liu Jiaojiao incident was over, but now that she was about to reach that point, she did feel happy and joyful, but she also had a lot of complicated emotions...

Su Miao felt her stomach churning again, so she quickly ran to the inner room, grabbed the support next to her, and started gagging.

Su Miao was still reeling from that painful feeling. She pressed her chest hard, and large tears streamed down her face.

...

When Shen Changji walked into the study, he saw Tao'er waiting for him outside with a food box in her hand.

The moment Tao'er saw Shen Changji, a smile flickered in her eyes.

"Young Master, this is what Miss asked me to give you. She noticed that you didn't eat much for dinner, probably because it wasn't to your liking, so she ordered a few of your favorite dishes and put them in before she left."

When Su Miao is unhappy, she likes to eat sweet and sour things, but Shen Changji doesn't really like that flavor.

But almost all the dishes on that table tasted the same.

But he didn't expect that Su Miao would notice that the food didn't suit his taste...

Shen Changji reached out and took it, then walked into the study.

Upon opening it, you'll find it filled with salty and spicy stir-fried dishes.

Su Miao ordered five dishes, all of which were his usual favorites.

Fang Xing walked in, just about to report the situation, but when he saw his master's appearance, he was immediately stunned.

He could sense that his master was in a good mood.

His deep, dark eyes swept over the side dishes in the food box, his heart pounding wildly, making it impossible for him to control his excitement.

"Do you think...she might like me a little?"
