"Xie Shi... Zhu..." Wu Xuan couldn't even speak straight. She hurriedly looked for paper, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then looked up at Xie Shi Zhu viciously, "You want to kill me?"
Xie Shizhu looked innocent, "What's wrong?"
Wu Xuan pointed to the cup in her hand and said, "I asked you to get hot water, not boiling water!"
Zhou Yuan was stunned and hurriedly picked up her cup. She used her fingers to test the water temperature, but the scalding hot water made her immediately retract her hand.
Seeing her best friend almost got burned, Zhou Yuan said with a dark face: "Xie Shizhu, what do you want to do?"
Wu Xuan saw that there was no one around except Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan was on her side. Naturally, she would not let Xie Shizhu go, so she raised the cup in her hand and splashed it on Xie Shizhu's face.
Xie Shizhu subconsciously dodged to the side, and the water only splashed on her shoulders.
While Wu Xuan was angry, the doorbell rang. Wu Xuan snorted coldly and put down the mug. "I want to see which guest of yours it is."
After she let out her anger, she felt much better and walked with ease. Wu Xuan quickly walked to the door and opened it from the inside. Her originally arrogant expression suddenly froze when she saw the man outside the door.
"Jiang...Brother Jiang, why is it you?"
Wu Xuan's expression changed very quickly, and she put on a delicate look.
But what she didn't know was that everything she and Zhou Yuan did was seen by Jiang Yuhuai. Even if she tried her best to disguise herself, it was of no avail.
Jiang Yuhuai glanced at her indifferently, walked straight past her and walked into the house. When he saw that the shoulders of Xie Shizhu's white T-shirt were wet, his face darkened and his heart suddenly tightened.
Zhou Yuan was shocked to see it was him and asked hurriedly, "Brother Jiang, why are you here? This is where Xie Shizhu lives..."
But she did not receive a response from Jiang Yuhuai to her question.
Jiang Yuhuai lowered his head and looked at Xie Shizhu. Compared to his previous indifference, his eyes were gentle at this moment. He didn't ask anything, but took out a handkerchief to wipe the water off Xie Shizhu's shoulders, and then patted her back soothingly.
Although Xie Shizhu was splashed with scalding water, she bit her lips tightly and refused to say a word.
Looking at her stubborn expression, Jiang Yuhuai felt a little pity in his heart.
Jiang Yuhuai turned his attention to the instigator, but Wu Xuan felt even more aggrieved than Xie Shizhu. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she sniffed and said, "Brother Jiang, Xie Shizhu just brought us some hot water, and I got angry and threw it on her. She was the one who wanted to harm me."
Xie Shizhu seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but was holding it back.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhou Yuan received her bestie's call for help. Without saying a word, she defended Wu Xuan, "Yes, Wu Xuan was also angry. She didn't mean it."
As the two of them sang in unison, Xie Shizhu hesitantly spoke, lowering her arms in self-abasement. "Because that water dispenser is a bit complicated, I've never used it before, so I thought it was hot water, but it turned out to be boiling water."
Xie Shizhu paused and pursed his lips. "I've always used a kettle at home. I've never used this kind of water dispenser..."
Her words made Jiang Yuhuai slightly stunned.
This water dispenser was bought when he bought the house. It cost tens of thousands of dollars and is indeed quite complicated. He has never lived here.
However, Xie Shizhu's awkward and humble look made the softest part of his heart feel like it was being gently brushed by a feather.
Especially when Xie Shizhu finished speaking, the two women opposite him looked at him with mocking eyes, which made him feel even worse.
"Well, it's not your fault," Jiang Yuhuai comforted, "Don't blame yourself."
Wu Xuan thought Jiang Yuhuai was just like them and thought Xie Shizhu was inexperienced, but she didn't expect that Jiang Yuhuai would actually comfort Xie Shizhu.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhou Yuan was also surprised. Xie Shizhu's poor appearance was ridiculous to anyone.
Xie Shizhu nodded, then raised his head slightly and curled his lips towards the two of them, "Miss Wu, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
Jiang Yuhuai glanced at them coldly, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion.
Wu Xuan felt extremely aggrieved. She had been spoiled since she was a child, and this was the first time a man ignored her because he cared about an ugly woman.
Zhou Yuan tugged at Wu Xuan's clothes and whispered, "Let's go. If we stay any longer, Jiang Yuhuai will hate you even more."
Wu Xuan's eyes were red as she was led outside by Zhou Yuan. She looked back at Jiang Yuhuai unwillingly.
Jiang Yuhuai turned around and opened the cupboard to look for the medicine box, leaving her with only his tall back.
Because she couldn't see Jiang Yuhuai, she glared at Xie Shizhu with hatred in her eyes. She thought Xie Shizhu would be afraid, but...
Xie Shizhu raised his chin slightly, staring at her with a provocative look and a winner's smile on his lips.
There was no trace of the pitiful look he had just now.
Wu Xuan was stunned and stopped abruptly. When Jiang Yuhuai opened the medicine box and turned to Xie Shizhu, she became pitiful again.
Zhou Yuan asked, "Are you not leaving yet?"
Wu Xuan retracted her gaze and followed Zhou Yuan's footsteps. Once outside, Wu Xuan, still in shock, said, "Xie Shizhu is a two-faced person. She did this on purpose just to make Jiang Yuhuai care about her."
Zhou Yuan frowned, staring at her dazed face questioningly. "What are you talking about? Xie Shizhu likes Chi Ze. Her family can't afford such an expensive water dispenser, so it's normal that she doesn't know how to use it. Don't make random guesses just because Jiang Yuhuai ignored you."
"You don't believe me?" Wu Xuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Zhou Yuan had a headache and said perfunctorily, "Believe it, believe it."

"Only thirteen hours have passed." Jiang Yuhuai pulled down the collar of her T-shirt. Seeing the woman's thin shoulders, his eyes darkened and he said, "You've been injured twice."
Xie Shizhu had very fair skin, and after being splashed with hot water, a large area of his shoulder turned red, and his fair skin was flushed and slightly watery.
"It seems so," Xie Shizhu smiled helplessly, "But, Boss, you are like a superhero, always there for me when I get hurt."
Jiang Yuhuai paused as he was applying the medicine on her and coughed uncomfortably: "It must be a coincidence."
Xie Shizhu's eyes flashed with amusement, and a smile spread across the corners of his mouth. He blinked his eyes and his eyelashes trembled. "So, can we call this telepathy?"
When Jiang Yuhuai was applying medicine to her, he was quite close to her, and his cheek was lightly brushed by the woman's eyelashes, causing a slight numbness.
"Well, probably."
The T-shirt she was wearing was too big, baggy and had a loose neckline.
When Jiang Yuhuai took the medicine, he caught a glimpse of the edge of her white underwear from the corner of his eye. There was a little lace on it, which matched her style.
But it's quite small.
After applying the medicine, Xie Shizhu's stomach rumbled.
Jiang Yuhuai raised his eyebrows frivolously, "Why? After I help you apply the medicine, I also have to help you with lunch?"
