How are you feeling today?
"Much better!"
"Okay, let's eat."
"Don't you have to go to work today?"
"Yes, I'm off today. I can do my work from home."
Yunqi nodded, watching as Chen Xi finished tidying up and prepared to take the food out...
"Can I come out of the room with you?"
“Okay.” Shen Xi paused, gesturing for Yun Qi to follow. “Let me take the plates to the kitchen first.”
"Um."
Yunqi followed closely behind Shen Xi, never forgetting to look around.
"Qiqi, this is the kitchen..." Shen Xi introduced the kitchen utensils one by one, and then opened the refrigerator. "There is milk, fruit and some ingredients in the refrigerator. There are also some snacks in the cupboard. You can come and eat anytime you want."
"Um."
"From now on, let's not eat in the room anymore, let's eat at the table here, okay?"
"good."
“Let me show you other places,” Chen Xi tentatively took Yun Qi’s hand. Seeing that Yun Qi did not refuse, he was overjoyed. “This is the gym. You can come here anytime if you want to work out… This is the living room. If you get bored in your room, you can watch TV here.”
"This is my study. You can read any of the books on the shelves, but you can't touch my computer."
"Um."
"This is my bedroom, and your bedroom is next to it."
"That's roughly the situation. There are a few vacant rooms. If you have any ideas, I can find someone to make changes."
Yunqi shook her head: "I don't need anything for the time being."
"As long as you don't leave the house, you can go anywhere in the house."
"Really?"
"Um."
Chen Xi clenched his fist. She still hadn't tried to escape... I should give her some trust, give her some space, and not scare her... Although I still want to lock her up...
Yunqi watched Chen Xi busy at the computer, then picked up a book and sat down on the sofa to read...
He hadn't expected Yunqi to be willing to stay with him. Although they didn't speak and were each doing their own thing... he was still very happy that someone was willing to quietly keep him company like this...
Watching Yunqi quietly reading her book... this is probably what "peace and tranquility" looks like.
After finishing his work, Shen Xi checked the time and saw it was already 5 PM. Looking at Yun Qi, he found her already asleep on the sofa…
Chen Xi stood up and gently patted Yun Qi: "Qi Qi, wake up."
Yunqi got up and rubbed her eyes: "I just fell asleep. What time is it?"
It's five o'clock.
"It's five o'clock already, I've been sleeping for so long..."
"I'll go make dinner now. What would you like to eat?"
"I want to eat Kung Pao Chicken."
"good."
"I'll assist you."
"No need, you can sit and watch TV for a while, I'll call you when it's ready."
"All right."
Shen Xi didn't want Yun Qi to help; he wanted Yun Qi to do nothing and rely on him for everything. So... Shen Xi was diligently working on the path of spoiling Yun Qi...
Yunqi watched Chen Xi busy herself from the kitchen doorway. Chen Xi's fingers were long and beautiful; it was a visual feast to see her using them to chop vegetables and cook...
Yunqi was completely engrossed in watching...
Chen Xi quickly finished preparing three dishes and a soup, and Yun Qi stepped forward to help serve the dishes.
"How does it taste?"
"It's delicious!"
Chen Xi picked up another piece of meat for Yun Qi: "If you like it, eat more."
"Hmm... I feel like you're going to fatten me up..."
"You should gain some weight, you're too thin..."
"I……"
"Bang bang bang!" A knocking sound rang out on the door.
Yunqi was startled; this wasn't a normal doorbell ring, but rather a loud banging on the door.
Outside the door: "Chen Xi! I know you're home! Open the door!"
Yunqi looked at Shen Xi, who looked displeased, clearly unhappy that the person outside the door was disturbing their meal.
Chen Xi: "Qiqi, you continue eating, don't worry about him. I'll handle it."
Yunqi was a little uneasy about what might happen next: "I've finished eating... I'm going back to my room now..."
After saying that, he fled back to his room.
Chen Xi watched her hurried departure, then got up and opened the door.
Looking at Shen Chen at the door, he asked in a cold voice, "What is it?!"
"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? My dear brother." Shen Chen walked inside on his own.
"You're not welcome here! Get out!" Shen Xi said with a gloomy expression, looking at Shen Chen.
Chen Chen didn't mind, and seeing the two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, her interest grew even stronger: "Oh, who are you eating with? Looks like you've just started eating..."
"Please leave my house immediately!"
"Why aren't you welcoming me?! Brother, you weren't like this before... Did you make a new friend?"
Xiaoqi: "Qiqi, something bad has happened! Shen Xi's corruption value has increased by 20, now it's 68!"
Yunqi: "As long as the corruption level doesn't reach 100, it's fine. It's not convenient for me to go downstairs right now, let's just wait and see. By the way, Xiaoqi, who is this Chen Chen?"
"Shen Chen is Shen Xi's half-brother, only one year younger than him. Shen Xi's mother's father cheated on her while she was pregnant. After giving birth to Shen Xi, her health was poor. When she found out that her father had an illegitimate son who was only one year younger than Shen Xi, she was so angry that she died. Later, the mistress brought Shen Chen with her when she married Shen Xi's father. Shen Chen liked to take things from Shen Xi since he was a child. At first, Shen Xi would argue, but when he saw that his father favored Shen Chen, he stopped crying and making a fuss. He started living at school, and later he moved out and lived on his own."
"Qiqi, let me tell you how awful Shen Chen is. If someone confesses to Shen Xi, Shen Chen will pursue that person, and as soon as the person starts to like him back, he'll immediately break up with them!"
