Shi Xi chuckled and teased, "So it was Master Chen's stomach growling!"

She suppressed her smile, stood up, and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to get something to eat. I'm hungry too, let's eat together!"

Di Chenxiao clutched his injured ribs and got up to get the insulated lunchbox from the table.

"I'll eat this."

Shi Xi ran over, snatched the lunchbox from Di Chenxiao's hand, and hid it behind her back.

"No, you can't drink soup anymore, especially the soup I made."

The soup inside hasn't been checked. What if there's straw or sleeping pills in it?

Di Chenxiao licked his dry lips and sighed softly.

"Even if there's straw or sleeping pills in it, I'll be fine drinking it! I haven't eaten a single bite since last night, I'm so hungry, please give it to me!"

"No."

Shi Xi was a little angry. How could Di Chenxiao not take his health seriously at all? Could he just eat herbs and sleeping pills like that?

They really cause no peace of mind at all.

Emperor Chen Xiao, the troublemaker: "I want to drink."

Shi Xi pouted, a resolute glint in her eyes. "Fine, you drink it and I'll drink it too. Anyway, I'm not injured, so drinking the straw won't hurt me. If there's a sleeping potion in the soup, I'll just sleep for a day. It's no big deal."

She placed the lunchbox on the table, opened the lid, and started shoveling food into her mouth.

Di Chenxiao hurriedly knocked over the lunchbox, spilling the soup inside onto the ground, with a few playful drops splashing onto Shi Xi's instep.

He picked up Shi Xi and placed her on the sofa, while he knelt on one knee on the ground to wipe the soup off the back of Shi Xi's feet.

"Nonsense!" He wanted to yell, but he couldn't bear to lose his temper with her.

Lower your voice a bit, then continue, "Can you eat hay and sedatives whenever you want?"

Shi Xi pulled her foot back and carefully helped Di Chenxiao up.

"You know I can't eat straw or take sleeping pills, but can you? What you're feeling right now is exactly what I was feeling just now."

She knew he had a difficult past and had teetered on the brink of death for a long time.

But things are different now. He is now capable enough to protect himself and those around him, and she can't bear to see him continue to be indifferent to his health.

Silence reigned once more. The black curtain of the sky had fallen, and soft light from inside the room illuminated every corner, dispelling the natural darkness.

Di Chenxiao had never been one to lose his temper with Shi Xi. He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I just didn't want your hard work to go to waste. I won't do it again!"

"Let's go eat! Let's see if the chef's cooking suits your taste."

Shi Xi nodded and reminded him again, "You must, you must, take good care of your body from now on, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Lady Xixi!"

After they finished eating, the two lay on the bed and chatted.

Di Chenxiao's ribs have not healed yet, and Shi Xi will absolutely not allow him to go out.

Shi Xi turned to the side, supporting her head with one hand and pinching Di Chenxiao's face with the other.

He said fiercely, "Di Chenxiao, you are not allowed to go out again until your ribs have healed."

Di Chenxiao also imitated Shi Xi's posture, sleeping on his side, "What if we go out?"

She lowered her eyes in thought, considering what could threaten Di Chenxiao.

"I just...I just..."

There really is nothing that can threaten Di Chenxiao!

Di Chenxiao said jokingly, "So what?"

A glint flashed in Shi Xi's eyes. "If you dare to disobey me, I'll go home and not let you into the Shi family home. I'll leave you alone in Xi Garden."
