Chapter 25 You're Not That Tempting to Me

Chi Zhao booked a room at the hotel and took Lin Huai to rest.

Lay the person safely and securely on the bed, cover them with a blanket, and then send a message to have a private doctor come over.

Finally, he sat on the sofa with his brows furrowed in a deep frown.

I wanted to take off the other person's socks to take a look, but then I felt it wasn't appropriate.

Although the strict separation between men and women is not as severe in modern times as it was in ancient times, she is mainly afraid that the male supporting character will misunderstand and turn to hate her, which would be bad.

99 clung to the male supporting character with concern. Having observed them for several years, she had developed feelings for them. Seeing Lin Huai burning up and curled up on the bed with his brows furrowed, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

[Host, quickly pull the blanket up for the male supporting character! It's slipped down, he'll catch a cold.]

Chi Zhao nodded, took a few steps forward, grabbed a corner of the blanket, and was about to pull it to her chest when the other person suddenly opened their eyes, which were red at the corners and covered with water. One hand was hurriedly pressed to their chest, the body stepped back, and stared at her warily.

...

No, how can someone with a fever be so quick to react?

It's a waste that you're an actor; you should be sent to be a special forces soldier.

Chi Zhao thought to herself.

The person opposite him had a pale face, probably because he was feeling unwell. His eyes looked like they were about to tear up, but he still held his head up, his face stubborn and resolute. His voice was weak but firm, "Even if you save me, don't expect me to be grateful to you. I will never be a toy for you rich people!"

Why is this child talking to himself?

Xiao Zhou's personality was somewhat similar to Yan Zhou's in the previous world, but Lin Huai was not so similar. Yan Zhou was not stubborn or cold towards her. She would get angry occasionally, but she could quickly coax her back.

Is he really Yanzhou?

Or is it another side of Yanzhou that she hasn't discovered?

"Well, we rich people don't just pick toys randomly."

She lowered her eyes and scrutinized the other person critically, her nonchalant demeanor seeming to say, "You're not qualified to be my toy."

Lin Huai's fair skin turned pink with anger.

But he was ill and had little strength, so he could only sit with his head down in the place furthest away from Chi Zhao, his hands wrapped around his knees and leaning against the headboard, trying to catch his breath little by little.

Finally, she lowered her head and whispered, "That's for the best. I hate the way you rich people act all high and mighty."

The system has no physical form in front of the characters. Feeling sorry for the male supporting character, it sat beside him, silently comforting him by flapping its wings. But it couldn't believe the male supporting character could say such a thing, and flew in shock to Lin Huai, its big eyes wide, "No—how could you hate my host!"

99 were misplaced, and the gentle blue light that always shone on the wings of anger was showing signs of turning red.

Finally, there's going to be some sweet moments again! How can the male supporting character hate my host? You should like her, you should love her, you shouldn't hate her at all.

How could your relationship be so fragile?

99 was so anxious she was pacing back and forth, afraid the two of them wouldn't make it work.

Chi Zhao didn't care.

If this person isn't Yanzhou, she doesn't care whether he dislikes her or not. But if he is Yanzhou, well, after being domesticated for so long, it's okay to let him roam free for a while and teach him a lesson.

She was willing to indulge and pamper Yanzhou when he was well-behaved, but Yanzhou is too disobedient now.

If someone misbehaves, they need to be disciplined.

"Don't worry, I'm just taking pity on you."

She glanced at the other person indifferently and made excuses for her behavior.

Lin Huai wanted to retort that he wasn't pitiful at all, and he hated it when others pitied him, but he opened his mouth and then didn't say anything. He told himself that when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

There were only the two of them in the room. What if they angered the other party and got beaten up again?

The pain on my cheek has lessened considerably, leaving only redness and swelling, which doesn't look very good.

After all, she is an actor and pays special attention to her image.

Lin Huai secretly hid his face and then stopped talking to the other person in the room.

Chi Zhao didn't mind; the private doctor she had called arrived quickly.

The doctor was a specialist in treating her; he was a graduate of a prestigious university and possessed exceptional medical skills.

"Mr. Chi, are you feeling unwell?"

The person went straight to the boss as soon as they came in.

Chi Zhao shook her head and pointed to the man who was still hiding from her on the bed, "He has a fever, you should take a look at him."

The moment the third person entered, the drowsy Lin Huai tensed up.

As he saw the other person walking towards him, his face paled even more.

Chi Zhao stood up and ordered, "Come down and let him take a look at you."

"I... don't need to see."

Lin Huai reluctantly refused.

Chi Zhao couldn't bear to hear him refuse. "We rich people are all a bit self-centered. You're on my turf now, so I advise you to be more obedient."

Lin Huai: ...

A look of humiliation suddenly appeared on her usually cold face. She looked up and glared at Chi Zhao before getting off the bed in a fit of anger.

Seeing that he was running a fever and couldn't stand steadily, Chi Zhao reached out to help him. He deliberately dodged, not wanting this woman with such dirty thoughts to touch him. However, he was weak from his illness, and the force he used to dodge was too great. Lin Huai couldn't help but fall down, his buttocks touching the edge of the bed. He didn't sit properly and slid off the bed, landing on the ground with a thud.

Chi Zhao:......

99: ...

[Wow, host, the male supporting character seems a bit slow.]

The doctor was very professional. Even in this situation, he still smiled and acted as if he hadn't seen anything, politely inviting, "Please sit down first. I brought some equipment to take a look at you."

Lin Huai's face, which was already flushed from the fever, turned even redder, but he was proud and concerned about his image, so he refused to show any embarrassment.

She just pursed her lips, stood up, and whispered, "I don't want you to touch me. Even if you call a doctor for me, I won't give in."

He wouldn't fall for someone just because of a little bit of kindness. If these rich people are trying to play these kinds of tricks, it won't work on him.

Chi Zhao: "Uninstall all the novel apps on your phone. You're not that attractive to me anymore."

She spoke coldly and ruthlessly before confirming that the other party was Yanzhou.

Lin Huai's heart tightened involuntarily, and a strange bitterness spread through him.

He bit his lip, still stubborn, "You'd better think that way."

Although the doctor didn't say anything, she was secretly amazed. Where did President Chi bring this person back from? His face was in such a state, yet he was still so confident in himself.

"Is this how you treat your benefactor? Do you know what would have happened to you tonight if it weren't for me?"

Those heartless people are not as good as my Yanzhou.

She was given a cold shoulder for saying something sarcastic, and she even gave her a dirty look. Interesting. Back in their base, no one dared to treat her like that.

Chi Zhao's expression remained anything but warm towards him from beginning to end.

Lin Huai turned his head away from her, his tone even colder, "You know perfectly well why you were there."

They were not related and had never met before, yet this person suddenly kicked the door open and claimed to be his friend, protecting him and speaking up for him. It all seemed very deliberate.

They must have planned this all along, trying to trick him...

She's not a good person either.

Lin Huai thought to himself.

"Fine, you're such an ingrate. You'd better keep thinking that way."

Chi Zhao seemed too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, and lowered her eyes to rest. The main reason was that it was indeed difficult to explain that her appearance was due to a backdoor opened by the system, but she obviously couldn't say such a thing. After thinking about it, she realized that it was normal for the other party to think that she had planned it all along.

The doctor quickly treated the wound, leaving behind a single antipyretic pill and a tube of ointment before leaving in a hurry. She couldn't bear to listen, she absolutely couldn't bear to listen. She didn't know where that man got his confidence from. Why would their CEO Chi need to go through all that trouble to find a man?

99 was also a little angry. [How could the male supporting character in this world be like this? The host clearly saved him, how could he doubt the host!]

Being cautious is a good thing.

It's okay, she'll be secretly angry for a couple of days and then she'll be fine. /smile

Lin Huai really had a fever. After the doctor left, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then became so dizzy that he couldn't even get back into bed.

He glanced at Chi Zhao with his eyes brimming with tears, revealing a rare vulnerability and tenderness.

Chi Zhao was flipping through a book he hadn't read in a long time. In the apocalypse, it was difficult to even survive, and it was rare to see clean books.

Without even looking up, she said, "You were the one who dodged just now, so don't expect me to help you up now."
