He Shizhao didn't even think about it, he just picked up the glass of juice and drank it all.
"It's apple flavored, and it tastes good," he said. "Is it reserved for me?"
Jiang Chuyi stared at him and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you?"
"Do you need poison to kill me?" He Sizhao ruffled Jiang Chuyi's hair amusedly and turned on the soft bedside lamp for her. "If you're bored tonight, read a book. I'm afraid I won't have time to play with you these two days. Sorry."
Jiang Chuyi muttered: "Who needs you to play with me?"
He Sizhao smiled: "Good boy."
He also took away Jiang Chuyi's finished bowl.
She didn't feel it when she was alone in the room, but now that He Sizhao came and went, Jiang Chuyi actually felt a little uncomfortable.
The already quiet room seemed to become even quieter.
The soundproofing of the VIP ward was so good that she couldn't hear any sound from outside.
Jiang Chuyi lay in bed for a while, feeling a little surprised.
Hadn't she always lived alone? Since when had she gotten so used to the clamor of people, to the constant warmth of someone close by?
No, it's just an illusion caused by being too bored after waking up.
Jiang Chuyi denied herself. She took out the novel she hadn't finished reading, thought for a moment, got out of bed, and turned on the TV on the wall.
These days of reading novels and watching TV in a comfortable bed were her favorite.
Nowadays, humans no longer have television stations, and the only things played on TV are the videos stored in the TV. With these sounds, Jiang Chuyi felt much better.
Just like that, she lay down freely in the quiet room. He Sizhao would bring her food at mealtime. She had books and TV to watch at other times. In the apocalyptic world where everyone was in danger, Jiang Chuyi seemed to be living a leisurely retirement life.
Every time He Sizhao came over, she would deliberately study his physical condition.
He seemed to be very busy indeed. The hopes of the entire human society rested on his shoulders. Although he did not show any pressure, his face showed that he had not rested for a long time.
It is still unclear what role that core plays.
"These are dumplings stuffed with mustard greens and eggs. Today, while I was rescuing someone, I found someone had grown mustard greens, so I brought them back and made them into dumplings."
He Sizhao held Jiang Chuyi's hand, took out a bottle of vinegar and a small plate from the space and placed them in front of Jiang Chuyi.
"I've never made this kind of dish for you before. I don't know if you like it."
Jiang Chuyi leaned closer to these white and plump things and smelled them.
It's a flavor you've never tasted before, but you know it's delicious just by smelling it.
Seeing her happily pick up the chopsticks, He Sizhao touched her head and was about to get up and leave.
"You made too much. I can't finish it all by myself." Jiang Chuyi said suddenly, "Don't you always say that food tastes bad when it's cold? Come over and help yourself."
He Sizhao did make a lot, far more than Jiang Chuyi could eat by herself. I wonder if it was because it was his first time making dumplings and he didn't count.
He Sizhao was a little surprised: "I don't need..."
"He Sizhao." Jiang Chuyi emphasized his tone, his expression less than happy, "I'm asking you to have dinner with me."
He Sizhao paused and turned to look at Jiang Chuyi.
Under the warm yellow light, a beautiful girl was guarding a large bowl of steaming dumplings with a dish of vinegar in front of her.
She looked over, urging him to eat quickly.
This ordinary and happy atmosphere of fireworks made He Sizhao's breath stop, and an overwhelming softness spread in his heart.
"Okay." He Sizhao sat next to Jiang Chuyi and took out another pair of chopsticks from her space.
"I want to eat dumplings with chili peppers. Do you want to try it?" He Sizhao asked.
Jiang Chuyi was chewing one in her mouth. She turned her head and looked at him with two question marks in her eyes.
He Shizhao smiled. He fumbled around in the space for a while and actually took out a bottle of chopped pepper sauce.
"This is something delicious," he said mysteriously. "Before, you could only eat vegetarian food, and I was afraid it would irritate your stomach, so I didn't dare to let it go. Now it should be fine. Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Chuyi stared at the red thing and swallowed the dumplings in his mouth.
She didn't say anything, but just pushed the small plate towards him.
It looks like a cat that wants to try a new can of food but is not very brave.
He Sizhao put some chopped pepper on her small plate and put a dumpling in it for her.
Jiang Chuyi swallowed the whole dumpling in one gulp.
She trusted He Sizhao's knowledge of food, but this trust made her fair face turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She felt as if a fire were burning on her lips.
In a few seconds, her eyes were filled with natural tears. She glared at He Sizhao with what she thought was a fierce look, and she could neither spit out nor chew the dumplings in her mouth.
In sharp contrast to her miserable appearance, He Sizhao arched his brows and laughed out loud.
Jiang Chuyi was stunned.
She didn't expect He Sizhao to be so bold. Even though he knew her identity, he still dared to laugh at her?
Her eyes were covered with tears, her cheeks were puffed up, and she just stared at He Sizhao blankly, looking as adorable as she could be.
He Sizhao smiled and stretched out his palm, placing it in front of Jiang Chuyi's face: "Quick, spit it out."
Jiang Chuyi finally reacted and spat out the dumplings in his mouth.
As soon as she could speak, she said angrily: "He Sizhao!"
"Yeah, I'm here." He Sizhao replied with a smile, "I admit my mistake first, I'm sorry."
"What are you giving me to eat?" Jiang Chu was furious.
"Chopped peppers." He Sizhao stopped laughing and answered seriously, "This is a very delicious food, but I didn't expect you to be so intolerant of spicy food... haha."
Jiang Chuyi looked at He Sizhao blankly and burst out laughing again, then coughed lightly to cover up his laughter.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyi." He said seriously, "I really didn't expect you can't eat spicy food."
Jiang Chuyi: "Are you kidding me? Is this really something people eat?"
He Sizhao raised his eyebrows, dug out a large piece of chopped pepper and put it in his bowl, then rolled a dumpling in it. When he picked it up, it was covered with bright red color, which made Jiang Chuyi amazed.
Then he swallowed the whole dumpling in one gulp, eating it without changing his expression.
Innocent amber eyes looked at Jiang Chuyi, as if saying: See, you are too weak.
Jiang Chuyi gritted his teeth secretly.
Although her lips and mouth were burning, she found that she could not get angry at all when she looked at He Sizhao's bright eyes.
She ordered arrogantly: "My lips are very uncomfortable, what do you say?"
As soon as she said this, she found that He Sizhao's eyes suddenly deepened.
In her keen perception, a subtle and lingering temptation emanated from He Sizhao, like a dense silk thread, spreading around her body bit by bit and wrapping her up.
He Sizhao's voice was a little hoarse: "There is indeed a way, do you want to try it?"
Jiang Chuyi became alert reflexively.
Just after he said this, he added a spoonful of chopped pepper to her meal.
Seeing her cat-like alert eyes, He Sizhao curled the corners of his mouth and slowly moved his face closer to her.
The two of them were originally sitting very close to each other due to the size difference. Even when they were eating normally just now, He Sizhao had one hand on the other side of Jiang Chuyi, as if he was holding her in his arms.
As he approached, the air suddenly became cramped, and it seemed as if the whole place was filled with He Shizhao's aura.
Jiang Chuyi had long been accustomed to He Sizhao's closeness. In her pupils, the handsome face gradually enlarged, filling her entire field of vision.
He Sizhao's feelings, He Sizhao's expectations, the love that He Sizhao shouted at the top of his lungs but suppressed in his heart, all came rushing towards her like a tidal wave, like molten lava and a tsunami, turbulent and passionate.
She instinctively sensed danger.
She watched He Sizhao's Adam's apple move slightly and his pale lips open and close.
"Xiaoyi, I want to kiss you."
"Even if you break my neck in the next second, I still want to kiss you now."
Jiang Chuyi's slender waist was tightly gripped by a hot hand, and a passionate kiss covered her.
Her head buzzed.
The five senses seemed to fail, yet seemed to become more acute.
She could see He Sizhao's long and thick eyelashes and hear his trembling and restrained breathing. He seemed to have transformed into the sun, and his scorching warmth penetrated into her empty heart.
Her thoughts were floating, as if she was falling into the clouds.
The numbness and pain on her lips gradually disappeared. He Sizhao rested his forehead against hers without opening his eyes.
He chuckled amidst the pounding of his heart.
He Sizhao opened his eyes and looked into Jiang Chuyi's eyes intently.
"Does the fact that I'm still alive mean that I haven't been rejected by you?"
Jiang Chuyi rolled his eyes woodenly.
"He Sizhao, you are so bold."
"He is extremely shameless." He Sizhao corrected gently.
Jiang Chuyi touched his lips with his fingertips, which felt a little hot and numb.
She tapped her lips, and the unnatural redness on them immediately disappeared.
The smile on He Sizhao's face also disappeared. He looked at Jiang Chuyi's lips, his eyes full of regret.
Jiang Chuyi recalled the feeling just now and asked curiously, "Is this what kissing is?"
"Yes, this is kissing. I think it's described a lot in the novels you read."
He Sizhao's voice pretended to be relaxed, but Jiang Chuyi could easily hear the tension in it.
His Adam's apple moved up and down, and he asked softly, "Xiaoyi, do you hate me doing this to you?"
Jiang Chuyi rolled his eyes at him, full of disgust as if to say, "Are you mentally retarded?"
He Shizhao's eyes suddenly softened.
With Jiang Chuyi's temper, if she hated doing this, she would have crushed him to death long ago, and would not have allowed him to live and ask questions here.
Realizing this, He Sizhao felt as if his chest exploded, and his breathing became trembling.
He gently approached Jiang Chuyi's fragrant face, and his eyes darkened.
"Xiaoyi, I think the chopped pepper on your lips hasn't been cleaned yet..."
Before he could finish his words, the tightly closed door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
The familiar voice was deafening.
"Boss! We've got news from the Heixiang Town base. They've agreed to relocate here and help us resume construction..."
His voice became lower and lower until it disappeared.
Wu Yi looked at the two people who were almost sticking together in horror, his face changed, and his tone was full of sad and angry accusations.
"Okay, Boss, I really was wrong about you... No, I really wasn't wrong about you! Xiaoyi is only eighteen years old!"
