"What's wrong now?"
Su Ping sounded somewhat impatient.
This person is so slow and hesitant in their speech, it's kept her from going out to find food.
"Could you please not tell anyone about what happened last night?"
After saying this, Song Qi couldn't help but bite his tongue.
What is he even saying? He already did such a beastly thing to her last night, what right does he have to make such demands of her?
Surprisingly, Su Ping nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Okay, I won't tell anyone. Can I go now?"
Hearing her agree so readily, Song Qi suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
Is that kind of thing really so insignificant to her?
Since she doesn't think it's important, why is he still agonizing over it?
Thinking of this, Song Qi said, "Okay, thank you."
Su Ping nodded, opened the door, and went out.
Watching the door close again in front of him, Song Qi stared at the door for a full half minute before withdrawing his somewhat dry gaze.
He felt incredibly confused; what happened last night was a complete accident.
But at the same time, he was also somewhat relieved. Fortunately, he had managed to keep her with him last night. Fortunately, it was her last night.
Just then, Song Qi's phone rang.
He picked up the phone from the bedside table, glanced at the caller ID, and then answered the call.
"Boss, she didn't suspect anything about what happened last night, did she?"
The voice coming from the phone was none other than that of the man who had blocked his way and made things difficult for him last night.
"No, you can keep the five hundred yuan. Don't contact me again."
After Song Qi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Then delete and block the number.
For some reason, he suddenly didn't want Su Ping to know that the men from last night were people he had hired to put on an act for him.
It was all to leave a deeper impression on Su Ping and strengthen their bond.
However, he did not expect that the actor he found would be so unreliable, blurting out five hundred when asked how much money was owed.
Fortunately, Su Ping didn't suspect him.
Thinking about how he had lied to her and then done that to her last night, Song Qi felt even more like a scoundrel.
I'll try to find a way to make it up to her in the future.
Song Qi sighed, lifted the covers, and prepared to get dressed.
His gaze inadvertently drifted to the bed sheet, which was spotless except for a few wrinkles that hinted at the couple's frenzy the previous night.
For reasons unknown, Song Qi pulled the blanket off completely and looked at the sheets again, unwilling to give up.
It was still spotless, a pure white expanse.
His expression immediately darkened, and he became even angrier when he thought of Su Ping's unwavering departure.
He said that she didn't seem sad at all when she left, which meant that he wasn't her first love.
But she was his first...
Thinking of this, Song Qi lowered his head helplessly and clutched the bed sheet beneath him.
The overwhelming sense of powerlessness left him somewhat bewildered, and he didn't know why he felt this way.
This feeling made him inexplicably uncomfortable.
After taking a few deep breaths, he gradually calmed down.
After belatedly realizing what he was doing, he quickly looked away from the sheets and changed his clothes on the bed.
After changing his clothes, Song Qi couldn't find them on the bed, so he got out of bed and pushed open the bathroom door.
The bathtub was a mess, with the showerhead inside and the tub full of water.
His pants were soaking in the bathtub. Song Qi blushed, walked over, fished them out, wrung them out, picked up his clothes from the floor, and left.
After leaving the hotel, Su Ping moved her aching shoulders.
She looked down at her palm with a helpless expression; the area between her thumb and forefinger was still red and swollen, and it hurt terribly.
Okay, I'll go to the nearby pharmacy and buy some medicine to apply.
When she got home, she found that only Aunt Mei was still busy in the kitchen.
Seeing her come in from outside, Aunt Mei asked with some confusion, "Miss, when did you go out?"
Hearing that she didn't know she hadn't come home all night, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief and sat down over there.
"I just got discharged from the hospital, so I went out for a walk to get some exercise."
Aunt Mei nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
You know, in the past, the young ladies either hung out with that young master from the Xu family or with those bad friends, staying out all night long.
Now he actually knows he needs to take care of his health, and he doesn't associate with those friends anymore.
Aunt Mei thought about it more and more and felt that Su Ping was sensible, so she decided to go out and buy some of her favorite dishes to cook for her at noon.
Su Ping looked around but didn't see Su Zhinan. Usually, Su Zhinan would read financial newspapers on the first floor around this time after breakfast.
"Where's my dad? Where did he go?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Mei smiled and said, "President Su had some business to attend to and needed to go on a business trip for two days, so he didn't come back last night."
At this point, Aunt Mei looked at Su Ping with confusion and asked, "Miss, didn't you know? I thought Mr. Su told you when he came back to pack his luggage last night."
Su Ping chuckled twice and quickly changed the subject. Of course, she didn't know that she hadn't come back at all last night.
Aunt Mei came out of the kitchen and saw that Su Ping was already asleep on the sofa with her head tilted back.
"Miss, go back to your room and get some sleep. I'll wake you when lunch is ready."
Aunt Mei walked over and called Su Ping softly.
But there was no response at all.
"Miss?"
Aunt Mei called out again, but when there was still no response, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Su Ping's face was abnormally red, and her eyes were tightly closed, as if she were in great discomfort.
Su Ping vaguely heard someone calling her. She tried to open her eyes but found her eyelids were too heavy and her head felt like a mess, making everything slow.
"Miss, why are you so hot?"
Aunt Mei placed the back of her hand on Su Ping's forehead and was startled by the heat.
What kind of heat?
Su Ping groggily touched her face with her eyes closed, then drifted back to sleep.
When I woke up again, I found myself lying in bed with a needle sticking into the back of my hand.
"Miss, you're finally awake. Are you feeling better?"
Hearing Aunt Mei's words, Su Ping frowned and tried to sit up.
Seeing this, Aunt Mei quickly came over to help her.
What's wrong with me?
Su Ping shook her head, almost falling back onto the bed again.
"Miss, you had a cold and a fever of 39.3 degrees Celsius. Your temperature has just gone down."
What, you have a fever?
Su Ping patted her face and touched her cheeks, which felt cold, as if she had just finished sweating.
