In the kitchen.
A hint of surprise appeared in Qin Wan's eyes as she watched Qiao Muzhi busy at the sink.
"I didn't expect you to know how to wash dishes..." Qin Wan said softly.
While quickly washing the dishes, Qiao Muzhi glanced at her indifferently and said, "What's so strange about that? You can cook too."
Qin Wan: "..." That makes a lot of sense.
"By the way, did Mingchen stop bothering you after that?" Qiao Muzhi suddenly asked.
Qin Wan shook her head, "I deleted him on WeChat and blocked his phone number."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Muzhi paused in his dishwashing, glanced at her indifferently, and gave a barely perceptible smile.
Fortunately, I wasn't completely stupid.
[Qiao Muzhi's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 72.]
After washing the dishes and cleaning the dining table and kitchen, Qiao Muzhi dried her hands and said, "Okay, I'm going back now. You should get some rest."
"good."
After seeing Qiao Muzhi off, Qin Wan didn't rush to close the door and go back inside. Instead, she watched him open the door and go inside...
Taking in her actions, Qiao Muzhi's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a second after entering the house, his usually brisk action of closing the door faltering.
"Aren't you going to close up shop and go home to rest?"
"good."
As Qin Wan finished speaking, a crisp "bang" rang out as the door slammed shut.
Looking at the tightly closed door across the street, Qiao Muzhi's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
She was reluctant to part with him.
She is still "cold-blooded and ruthless".
Thinking this, Qiao Muzhi slammed the door shut with a "bang".
After a quick wash, skincare routine, and getting ready, Qin Wan did several practice tests. Seeing that it was already eleven o'clock, she got up, stretched, and lay back down.
A notification sound rang out...
Qin Wan picked up her phone and glanced at it casually, then her gaze fixed on something...
Wan'er, Mom and Dad miss you so much...
Qin Wan: "!!!"
Mingchen!!!
Qin Wan sat up abruptly in bed, her gaze fixed on the few words on the dimly lit phone screen in the darkness.
Close your eyes, take a deep breath...
The call connected...
No one answered...
Qin Wan clenched her fingers, her knuckles turning white, her slender body trembling slightly—it was the residual consciousness belonging to the original owner of this body.
She kept it buried deep in her heart and could never face it, which was also the real reason why the original owner suffered from severe depression, self-harm, and suicide.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Qin Wan controlled her trembling body, got out of bed, and went to the kitchen.
...
"Ding-dong."
"Ding-dong..."
Qiao Muzhi was fast asleep when the sudden doorbell rang, making him jump out of bed and stare at the door with a serious and grim expression.
Who the hell is disturbing the peace in the middle of the night?
Depend on!
Believe it or not, he'll kill...her?
After angrily opening the door, Qiao Muzhi was stunned to see Qin Wan with bloodshot eyes and a look of fear in them.
"no……"
Weren't you asleep?
Why does it smell so strongly of alcohol?
"Have you been drinking?"
Qiao Muzhi hurriedly helped the unsteady Qin Wan and escorted her into the house.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you drinking all of a sudden?"
As Qiao Muzhi helped Qin Wan sit down on the sofa, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Qin Wan pursed her red lips and remained silent, curled up on the sofa with her arms wrapped around her knees, so quiet that it was heartbreaking.
Qiao Muzhi glanced at her several times, then got up and found some hangover medicine, stomach medicine, and warm water, which he handed to her.
"Take your medicine."
Qin Wan shook her head, stubbornly retorting, "I won't eat."
Qiao Muzhi: "..."
Oh wow!
Just because she's had a drink doesn't mean she's all that, does it?
So you dare to go against him now?
Qiao Muzhi angrily shoved the medicine to Qin Wan's lips, glaring at her with a dark face, "Eat it now! Don't make me say it a third time!"
Qin Wan looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears, filled with grievance and accusation.
Qiao Muzhi: "..." Damn it!
This woman is absolutely amazing!!!
"Qin Wan, that's enough!" Qiao Muzhi glared at her, his face dark with displeasure.
"I don't want to eat..." Qin Wan shook her head, stubbornly insisting.
Qiao Muzhi sighed, picked up the hangover medicine from his palm, and threw it into the trash can.
"This is stomach medicine. Take it. You're not allowed to refuse again. This is my final line!" Qiao Muzhi said firmly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan's gaze lingered on his handsome face for a moment. Her red lips pursed slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, she finally picked up the stomach medicine and put it in her mouth.
The next second, a warm cup of water was shoved into her hand.
Warm water down the throat, medicine into the stomach...
My painful, churning stomach feels much better now.
After taking her medicine, Qin Wan continued to sit on the sofa with her knees drawn up, head bowed in frustration, silently shedding tears without uttering a word.
Qiao Muzhi: "..."
Frustrated, Qiao Muzhi scratched his hair, got up, went to the kitchen, took a can of beer from the refrigerator, opened it, and gulped it down...
After finishing one can of beer, Qiao Muzhi casually grabbed two more cans, opened them, and walked towards Qin Wan while drinking.
A chilled beer was handed to Qin Wan. "Want some more?"
Qin Wan: "..."
The moment their eyes met...
Qiao Muzhi originally thought that Qin Wan still had some sense and knew what she should and shouldn't do.
However, to his surprise, Qin Wan actually took the can of beer and poured it into her mouth.
Qiao Muzhi's brow twitched, and he felt completely uneasy.
He snatched the beer from Qin Wan's hand and glared at her with a serious expression.
"Did that scumbag Mingchen contact you again?!" Qiao Muzhi took a deep breath and asked through gritted teeth.
Qin Wan pursed her red lips, neither admitting nor denying.
Seeing this, Qiao Muzhi stood up agitatedly and took out his phone to make a call.
Seeing this, Qin Wan quickly grabbed his hand and looked at him with pleading eyes.
"No, don't..."
Noticing that something was wrong with her expression, Qiao Muzhi's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition washed over him.
He clenched his fists, gripping his phone tightly, his face grave, his gaze fixed intently on Qin Wan.
"Qin Wan, I'm giving you one last chance."
"Either you tell me the truth, and I'll help you find a solution."
"Either you continue being a blabbermouth, or I will absolutely never meddle in other people's business again!"
Qiao Muzhi has gone this far, which is enough to prove that he has very little patience left.
Qin Wan gently bit her lower lip, her eyes red-rimmed, and glistening tears welled up in them.
"I……"
She struggled to speak, yet didn't know where to begin, finding it difficult to articulate her thoughts.
As she thought about it, the tears that had been building up in her eyes seemed to be switched on, and they began to flow freely...
"Waaaaah..."
Upon seeing this, Qiao Muzhi's tall body stiffened, and for a moment, he was caught between not being able to break free from Qin Wan's grasp and not being able to break free either.
Finally, seeing Qin Wan crying harder and harder, Qiao Muzhi had no choice but to grit his teeth and sit down next to her.
He grabbed a tissue from the side and handed it to her, his tone curt, "Don't just keep crying, wipe yourself."
Qin Wan ignored him and continued to sob uncontrollably...
