Although her eyes were closed, the clever Shang Yunmiao immediately realized that this was different from what she usually ate; it was a completely counterfeit product.
After opening her eyes and giving Chen Bing a dissatisfied look, Shang Yunmiao swallowed the pill and didn't bother with Chen Bing's fingers any longer.
It's clear that the little girl is very dissatisfied with herself, and there's even a hint of threat in her tone.
Her little expression basically said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
However, just as a star destroyer wouldn't care about an ant's provocation, Chen Bing was equally dismissive of Xiao Shang's subtle threats.
After giving her water, Chen Bing figured it was about time, so she prepared to take out the thermometer to check her temperature.
This time, Shang Yunmiao was quite cooperative. Before Chen Bing could even reach out, she proactively lifted her hem, letting Chen Bing see everything she should and shouldn't see.
Well, even though it's just a cricket, Shang Yunmiao is still very tempting.
After calmly taking the thermometer, Chen Bing hadn't even had a chance to check it when Shang Yunmiao moved closer to her.
She also wanted to see what her body temperature was that day.
Twisting the mercury thermometer, I saw that the end of the red line stopped at 36.9°C.
"See! I told you I was better!" Shang Yunmiao happily snuggled up to Chen Bing, the soft touch against Chen Bing's body through the fabric.
Sensing the girl's next move, Chen Bing raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder.
"Stop fooling around, it's time to sleep."
A look of surprise flashed across his face, which was replaced by strong resentment.
"No... I'm all better now, I'm fine."
"What if it relapses? Doing bad things is very tiring. Let's wait a day or two. There's no need to rush."
After giving Chen Bing a sullen look, Shang Yunmiao snorted, pulled the covers up, turned over, and lay down. No matter how Chen Bing teased her from behind, she refused to respond.
It seems he's really angry.
Scratching his head, Chen Bing could roughly guess what Xiao Shang was thinking at this moment, and thus could also see where the conflict between the two lay.
He felt that since Xiao Shang was sick, she should rest properly and not risk her health because of some desires in her heart.
Shang Yunmiao probably felt that she was much better now, and that she should take control of her own body and naturally follow her heart.
In this regard, we can only say that neither of them is wrong, but isn't the conflict simply a clash between two people who are unwilling to give in and insist on their own opinions?
Therefore, generally speaking, conflicts are irreconcilable but can be mitigated.
With the intention of comforting Xiao Shang, Chen Bing ignored Xiao Shang's current reluctance to talk to her and hugged her from behind.
When Chen Bing first hugged her, Shang Yunmiao struggled symbolically for a moment, but it was only symbolic. After gently twisting her body, she accepted Chen Bing's advances, but still didn't want to speak.
Actually, this is fine too. At least I'm not just offering my warm welcome to someone who doesn't reciprocate.
"Alright, don't be angry. Brother Chen Bing has already taken the initiative to make amends with you. If you don't forgive him now, there will be plenty of times later when Little Brother Shang will beg for forgiveness."
Although it was meant to be a gesture of goodwill, Chen Bing couldn't resist being a little mischievous and used a less than friendly way of expressing herself.
Seeing that Xiao Shang in her arms didn't react, Chen Bing continued, "I know my Xiao Shang wants to make me happy, to satisfy me and to express her gratitude for taking care of me these past few days, but it's really unnecessary. Your well-being is the best reward for me."
Perhaps these words struck a chord with Shang Yunmiao, because after a moment's hesitation, she betrayed the decision she had made just minutes earlier to ignore Chen Bing.
"No, that's not true. If Chen Bing really wants me to feel better, she should go along with me. I feel like I'm about to get internal injuries from all this suffocation."
With a soft sigh, Chen Bing joked in a superior tone, "I'm doing this all for your own good."
Shang Yunmiao, who hadn't realized Chen Bing was joking, immediately became displeased upon hearing this. She turned around and replied firmly, "No, what you think is good might not actually be good. I clearly said I have no problem with it..."
At this point, Shang Yunmiao's voice suddenly lowered. At the same time, her shoulders twitched slightly, as if she had suddenly realized something chilling.
Chen Bing, who had been holding her the whole time, naturally noticed the girl's unusual behavior. With a hint of curiosity, he whispered in Shang Yunmiao's ear, "What's wrong?"
Coming back to her senses from her surprise discovery, Shang Yunmiao glanced at Chen Bing.
The girl thought to herself, "I just want to do something bad, why is it so difficult? Since I'm not the problem, then the problem... could it be Chen Bing?"
Summoning all the relevant knowledge in her mind, Shang Yunmiao's face suddenly flushed slightly, and then she asked Chen Bing in a very, very soft voice, "Chen, Chen Bing...you wouldn't..."
After hearing the whispered words, even the usually composed and unhurried Mr. Chen broke down in his guard.
He stared in disbelief at the little girl in his arms who was spouting nonsense, and almost couldn't resist refuting her with his actions on the spot.
Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself and prevent the smaller head from controlling the larger head.
"You're talking nonsense! ...What rubbish! How could I possibly do that! Can't you tell for yourself?"
Realizing she had just said the wrong thing, Shang Yunmiao panicked and completely lost her previous anger.
After a brief moment of embarrassment, she changed her tune and continued, "That! That must be a psychological issue too."
Before Chen Bing could refute, Shang Yunmiao immediately explained with a serious expression: "Look, isn't it said that the closer you are to someone, the more you know their background, the harder it is to make a move?"
Just like in reproduction, human genes don't tend to favor those related by blood. Maybe Chen Bing, you see me as a younger sister because we grew up together, which is why you can't get over it and keep making excuses to procrastinate!
Chen Bing didn't know when or where Shang Yunmiao had learned these things. She only saw Shang Yunmiao's confident expression, as if she had deduced the correct answer.
He was just concerned about Xiao Shang and worried that she wasn't getting enough rest, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood like this.
I'm a total siscon, you bastard! Can't you at least respect my preferences?!
Furious, Chen Bing looked at Shang Yunmiao's face and felt he needed to prove his point. So, he threw back the covers, walked to his desk, and, to Shang Yunmiao's bewildered expression, pulled out his legendary item—General Chen's Book of Favors!
There was no way around it; I didn't want to use this so early, but Xiao Shang forced me to!
With a ferocious grin, Chen Bing returned to Xiao Shang, flipping through the Book of Gratitude as she said, "You dare question my feelings for you? Fine, you've got guts. Come on, I'll show you the evidence, but after you see this, you're finished!"
