Xu Jingzhi thought of what had just happened and wanted to ask directly, but she held back.
Actually, he talked for a long time, but all he wanted to know was what they had just been doing.
From his perspective, they were kissing, and then Song Leilei raised her hand and slapped Xia Xinyuan.
Xu Jingzhi was furious and, without thinking twice, punched Xia Xinyuan, though he himself didn't understand what had happened.
Seeing that Xu Jingzhi seemed hesitant to speak, Song Leilei took back her phone and continued looking at the food listings on the app.
After hesitating for a while, Xu Jingzhi decided to ask for clarification, otherwise he would have insomnia tonight.
"What did that Dongpo pork do to you just now? I saw you hit it."
"Ah." Song Leilei then remembered that Xia Xinyuan had been hit by Xu Jingzhi. Her slap was light, but Xu Jingzhi breaking Xia Xinyuan's nose was a serious matter.
"Do you know that Xia Xinyuan's entire face is insured? He values his face so much. Now you've broken his nose, which is tantamount to disfigurement. We're finished. We'll be bankrupt just from the compensation alone." Song Leilei felt a chill run down her spine.
She was referring to us because she felt that Xu Jingzhi was standing up for her, and she couldn't be heartless and abandon us.
If this is compensation, she... still has the 50 million yuan the Xu family gave her for her wedding last time.
Yes, if Xia Xinyuan is lenient, 50 million should be more than enough as compensation, but I'm afraid he won't be willing to let it go so easily.
Xu Jingzhi: "When I hit him, I never intended to get away with it. I will compensate you with money, but he also has to pay the price for what he did to you."
He pressed on, "What did he do to you? Did he really kiss you?"
He was incredibly persistent about finding the answer.
Song Leilei blinked. "He tried to punish me, but he failed, so I slapped him. Didn't you see that?"
Xu Jingzhi thought to himself: I saw it, but it was a blind spot, so I couldn't see if we kissed.
However, Xu Jingzhi found the word "punishment" very incomprehensible and frowned in deep thought.
Song Leilei realized he didn't understand the tropes of domineering CEO novels, so she explained, "He thinks he's a domineering CEO from a novel, and he's even trying to imitate those CEOs by doing punishments. You know, a CEO's punishment is actually..." a forced kiss.
She was too embarrassed to continue.
She used to talk to Xu Jingzhi about everything, including sensitive topics, and she was never shy about it.
She couldn't bring herself to say the words "forced kiss" to him.
At this point, even the most obtuse person would be able to grasp the situation.
Song Leilei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, no longer speaking.
"What is it? Don't just say half of what you mean. Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
Xu Jingzhi reached out and touched Song Leilei's forehead. Song Leilei shrank back, but Xu Jingzhi pulled her back and pressed his large hand against her face.
Feeling slightly hot to the touch, Xu Jingzhi said, "Could it be that he really has a fever?"
Song Leilei slapped the hand away from her face. "I didn't. I'm going to sleep. Goodbye."
Xu Jingzhi: "......"
Not getting the exact punishment from Song Leilei, Xu Jingzhi searched online for an explanation. Upon seeing the words "forced kiss," he realized that Song Leilei wasn't running a fever, but rather was simply shy.
Xu Jingzhi was delighted by this change. He believed that being shy was essential for sustainable development, and at least now he wouldn't be as indifferent as his buddies.
When Song Leilei returned to her room, she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror and blushed furiously.
She didn't even blush when Xia Xin was so close to her.
But Xu Jingzhi did nothing, so why should she blush?
But then she realized that the most terrifying thing was that Xu Jingzhi hadn't done anything.
Over there, Zheng Lin was receiving an IV drip at the hospital.
Assistant Gao accompanied her, and while Su Jin went to the restroom, he comforted her, "Boss, next time, let's not drink things that we shouldn't. Your health is the most important thing."
Zheng Lin never expected that the milk tea would cause gastroenteritis.
His diet was always very clean, and he had never had gastroenteritis. He just didn't like overly sweet foods, but who knew that drinking them would cause problems.
But if given the chance again, he would still drink it, because it was Xiao Jin who gave it to him.
Moreover, Xiao Jin showed him special care because he came to the hospital with gastroenteritis.
He felt it was well worth it.
Zheng Lin even laughed, looking smugly at the needle stuck in the back of his hand, as if it were not ordinary medicine, but a magic pill to make him happy.
Assistant Gao: "......"
Su Jin walked over, and Zheng Lin looked up, his smile gone.
Assistant Gao was speechless once again. Her boss was acting strangely; the once composed man now seemed to have lost all his intelligence. Was this what they called love forcibly lowering one's brain?
If he hadn't been constantly by his boss's side, he would have thought that his boss's mental illness hadn't improved, because his boss's mental state was just a bit too energetic.
Su Jin sat down next to Zheng Lin, glanced at the IV drip, then at the IV needle on the back of his hand, and felt extremely guilty.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have let you drink it. I was thinking that eating something sweet would make you feel better, but I never thought it would harm you."
Her eyes were filled with guilt and heartache.
Zheng Lin leaned back in his chair, feigning weakness.
Assistant Gao thought to himself: Boss, you've really mastered the art of gaining sympathy.
Zheng Lin said weakly, "It's nothing, it's not your fault. It's my own fault. I just couldn't refuse when I thought it was something you wanted me to drink. I can only blame myself."
Assistant Gao: It smells strongly of green tea.
Su Jin: "Are you feeling any better now?"
"Much better, but... my stomach still hurts a bit, but it's okay, I can handle it," Zheng Lin said, clutching his stomach.
Su Jin frowned. Why did he speak so strangely? It was an indescribable feeling. It was just gastroenteritis, but he seemed to be on the verge of death.
She suddenly thought of a word: affected.
But Zheng Lin isn't a sentimental person; alas, it's his mental illness that has made him so fragile.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she owed Zheng Lin a lot.
Because of her leaving without saying goodbye back then, Zheng Lin waited for her for two years. It was all her fault for not explaining things clearly.
"You'll be alright." Su Jin took Zheng Lin's hand. Both of their palms were a little cold, but they gradually warmed up as they held hands.
After finishing her IV drip, Su Jin felt uneasy and stayed with Zheng Lin all night.
The next day, before Song Leilei was even awake, someone was knocking on the door.
She got up, yawning, still in her pajamas, thinking that she didn't have any scenes to film today, so who would be knocking on the door?
Feeling confused, she opened the door, only to find two policemen.
