Qin Yubai looked away, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Jian Zhizhen.
Jian Zhizhen jogged to his other side, tilted her head and stared at him: "Are you really angry?"
Qin Yubai turned his head away again, ignoring her.
Jian Zhizhen lost her patience and directly cupped his face, turning him to face her.
Her nose accidentally brushed lightly against his chin, and her warm breath gently slid across his neck.
Qin Yubai's breathing hitched slightly, and the first chapter written by Zhou Sui involuntarily surfaced in his mind, with one lewd word after another popping up.
"lips and teeth intertwined," "igniting passion," "merging into one," "entwined to the death"...
When he was watching it next to Zhou Sui, he only felt that the plot was very vulgar.
But now, facing Jian Zhizhen, his ears were ringing, his mind was in a mess, and the same thing kept playing on repeat!
Jian Zhizhen noticed something was wrong and touched his face with the back of her hand: "Bai Bai, why is your face so hot?"
"..." Qin Yubai actually knew the reason.
Physiological reason: His heart rate increased, adrenaline surged, capillaries dilated, and blood flow accelerated, which led to skin heat.
Psychological reason: Love and desire are symbiotic; his desire for the person he likes outweighs his reason.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jian Zhizhen stood on tiptoe, pressed her forehead against his, and asked worriedly, "Are you sick?"
The cool touch on his forehead was fleeting, and Qin Yubai instinctively wanted to pull the person into his arms, wanting to let that comfortable feeling linger a little longer.
But he knew that the slight skin contact was not the antidote, but a poison that would gradually entice him to become addicted.
He ultimately did not extend his hand, but instead took a half step back.
"Yes, I'm sick."
He was so sick he was going crazy.
Jian Zhizhen thought it was true and said with concern, "Bai Bai, there are fever reducers downstairs. Go back to your room and wait for me. I'll go get them for you."
"Okay." Qin Yubai nodded.
He needed to be alone for a while to calm himself down.
The two left the room together.
...
Not long after, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Li Nanyan finally finished taking a shower.
After drying his hair in front of the mirror, he admired his perfect face for a while.
Then raise your arm and observe your well-developed biceps.
Although he's been working every day lately and hasn't had time to exercise, he still has the physique he built up before, so he's still in great shape.
He admired it for a while before slowly putting on his pajamas.
Then he deliberately left one button undone, making his well-defined pectoral muscles faintly visible.
He looked in the mirror, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes radiating confidence.
If Chien Chih-chen saw this, wouldn't he go crazy?
He also wants to showcase his strengths tonight.
He completely forgot how he had thought Zhai Qinghe was greasy yesterday.
Having finally seen enough, he pushed open the bathroom door and went out.
But they found the room was completely empty.
The smile on Li Nanyan's lips instantly froze on his face.
Where is Jian Zhizhen?
...
Jian Zhizhen went downstairs to the kitchen and found the fever medicine. He discovered that the medicine needed to be dissolved in boiling water, so he quietly waited for the water to boil next to the water heater.
Xu Qiuyuan also eats instant noodles here. She has low blood sugar and needs to eat an extra late-night snack every night.
While eating, Xu Qiuyuan chatted with Jian Zhizhen: "Qin Yubai is staying with me tonight."
Jian Zhizhen glanced at her, as if she didn't understand why Xu Qiuyuan suddenly said this: "I know, I was there when the director announced it."
Xu Qiuyuan said this on purpose because she had long suspected that Qin Yubai and Jian Zhizhen were having an affair.
She thought that if she brought it up on purpose, Jian Zhizhen would definitely feel jealous, but she didn't expect him to not mind at all.
Xu Qiuyuan gave her a quiet look and decided to be more direct: "You're jealous that I live with him? Aren't you two a couple who are hiding your relationship to participate in this dating reality show?"
This question really hit the nail on the head for the audience:
[Haha, Sister Xu, you're amazing! You asked me the question I wanted to ask!]
[The director just finished interviewing him, and Qin Shen went into Jian Zhizhen's room. I don't know what happened, but when Qin Shen came out, he looked very uneasy. I suspect they've been doing something behind our backs!]
[When Sister Xu was a host, her interview style was always like this: she'd first ask a couple of probing questions, and if she couldn't get a straight answer, she'd just ask directly!]
[I suddenly fell in love with Sister Xu after she cleared her name! She's so gossipy! I love her!]
The water was already boiling, and Jian Zhizhen answered Xu Qiuyuan while filling his cup: "No."
Xu Qiuyuan looked incredulous: "That doesn't make sense. You two are like an old married couple."
"Because we've known each other since we were little, but we're not really a couple."
Jian Zhizhen looked at the brown medicine gradually dissolving in the cup, a hint of loneliness appearing in her slightly lowered eyes.
She mustered up the courage to confess her feelings back then, but Qin Yubai rejected her.
Fortunately, she later found an excuse to fool Qin Yubai into thinking she was just teasing him.
Otherwise... how can we be friends now?
How can we get along so naturally?
Jian Zhizhen turned off the water, then turned back around. Her expression had returned to normal, and she greeted Xu Qiuyuan with a smile: "Sister Qiuyuan, I'm going upstairs now."
Xu Qiuyuan nodded: "Go ahead, I'll eat slowly, I'll probably go up in fifteen minutes."
Jian Zhizhen then took the medicine upstairs.
The audience knows perfectly well:
[Sister Xu is so clever! She deliberately told Jian Zhizhen when she went upstairs, making it easier for Jian Zhizhen to go find Qin Yubai.]
[Yes, yes, and Sister Xu really hit the nail on the head. I also feel like they're an old married couple.]
