Jing Li managed to come back to his senses, gently pushed the other person, and said softly: "Qin Zhao, let me go..."

But Qin Zhao seemed to have lost all consciousness.

The other person trapped him between his arms, holding him tightly, as if trying to draw coolness from him.

"I've heated up the medicine. Can you drink it first?" The other party hugged him tighter and tighter. Jing Li felt uncomfortable because of the heat from him, so he pushed him away with more force. "You...you don't do this..."

The hot palm was placed directly on his waist.

Jing Li opened his eyes wide.

The clothes he was wearing belonged to Qin Zhao. They didn't fit him well, and he had been in such a hurry to put them on that he hadn't fastened the laces tightly. After all the hassle of putting them on all night, the laces had become somewhat loose.

When Qin Zhao pulled her just now, the belt was completely loosened, and the clothes slipped off her shoulders a little, revealing her smooth shoulders.

Not to mention how horrible it was below the shoulders.

Only now did Jing Li realize how his clothes looked. They were red from his neck to his ears.

The hands seemed to be very satisfied with the cool touch of his body, especially the large and fragile fish scales on his waist, lingering there.

The heat from the palm of his hand made Jing Li tremble. He was so scared that his eyes turned red: "Qin...Qin Zhao..."

A soundless silence spread throughout the room, like sinking into thick, impenetrable ink. Jing Li could hear his own rapid heartbeat, and his entire body trembled violently, feeling as if he were a fish pinned to a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

Fear, but nowhere to escape.

Suddenly, a low and painful voice came from his ear: "Don't go..."

Jing Li was stunned and looked up at the other person.

Qin Zhao has opened his eyes.

There was a crimson glow in those eyes, but they lacked their former sparkle.

He seemed to be looking at Jing Li, but seemed to see nothing, just unconsciously repeating the two words.

“Don’t go…”

It was the first time Jing Li saw him looking so helpless. He felt like something was tightening in his heart and felt a little sour.

"I'm here." He didn't continue to refuse, endured the discomfort and buried his head in Qin Zhao's arms, no longer moving, "I'm here."

He curled up on Qin Zhao, as if hugging a ball of hot fire.

In the darkness, two rapid heartbeats echoed one after another.

Qin Zhao finally calmed down.

It was unknown how long it took before the force on Jing Li was completely relaxed.

Jing Li gently pushed the person away. The moment he fell off the bed, a red light flashed and a small koi fell to the ground.

The little koi had completely exhausted all its strength, and even its fins drooped limply.

He shook his tail, slowly returned to the barrel, and sank to the bottom of the water.

He blew out two bubbles exhaustedly.

Although he was clearly in the water, Jing Li felt a chill down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Zhao...has he discovered it?

But why didn't he ask when he was at home just now, but waited until now?

The owner of the pastry shop noticed someone lingering in front of the shop for a long time and called out, "Young man, would you like some pastries? Freshly baked white sugar cakes, still warm, five cents a piece!"

Qin Zhao pretended not to hear, his eyes still fixed on the fish in his hand, but his eyebrows raised slightly.

Jing Li understood what he meant instantly.

——If you don’t tell the truth, you won’t have anything to eat.

This is... a threat.

This person actually threatened a fish, is there any justice in the world!!!

Jing Li tried hard not to reveal any flaws, staring blankly at the man in front of him, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

Playing dumb again.

Qin Zhao's eyes flashed with a helpless smile, and he said slowly: "Before leaving home yesterday, I locked the door from the outside. No one can get in, let alone steal a piece of clothing from me."
