Si Tian was extremely anxious. She knew something might happen, so how could she let Zhu Qinghao leave so easily?
"No, it's either you sleep with me, or I sleep with you. We have to be together tonight. You have no idea how dangerous those people are, I..."
Si Tian almost blurted out that she had killed someone, but she held back at the last moment.
Seeing Zhu Qinghao's probing gaze, Si Tian's eyes flickered.
"Forget it, I won't talk about this with you. I'll scare you and give you nightmares. Just know that those people are really, really dangerous."
If the two of us are together, at least we can look out for each other. If something really happens, the other person might have a chance to go to the brigade leader.
If we break up, I might not know if something happens to you, and you might not know if something happens to me. Okay, can you really trust me to be alone?
As Si Tian continued, fearing she wouldn't be able to persuade Zhu Qinghao, she simply feigned weakness, saying she needed Zhu Qinghao and would see if she could stay.
Sure enough, Zhu Qinghao's expression immediately softened.
Zhu Qinghao knew, of course, that group of people was extremely dangerous, but she felt that she could still protect herself.
She didn't want to stay with Si Tian because she wanted to be on high alert at all times, so that she could rush to the cowshed to protect her family if anything happened.
But now that Si Tian has said that, she's finding it harder to leave.
"Then, how about you come sleep at my place with me?"
Zhu Qinghao's house has a window that allows her to see the cowshed in the distance, so she should be able to notice any commotion.
She happened to have gotten some medicine from Sheng Yi before, so if anything were to happen, she would have no choice but to give it to Si Tian so she could get a good night's sleep.
"Sweetie, don't blame me. If there's really no other way, you'll just have to suffer. At worst, you can just drink more spiritual spring water afterwards..."
Zhu Qinghao thought to herself, waiting for Si Tian's response.
Si Tian instinctively wanted to refute, but upon closer reflection, it didn't seem to make much difference who slept at whose house.
"Okay, then I'll sleep at your place tonight. Tsk tsk, I wonder what Dr. Jiang would think if he knew that I'd have to sleep with you tonight."
"Okay, okay, do you think he'll want to beat me to death? He specifically asked me to take good care of you, he definitely wouldn't have imagined I'd raid your place, would he?"
Zhu Qinghao had never heard the term "stealing a house" before, but that didn't affect her understanding of the term in this context.
She looked at Sitian helplessly and poked her.
"You little rascal, hurry up and go. It's getting dark. Let's go back and get some food before we go to sleep."
However, when Si Tian heard about dinner, she had another idea. Her eyes lit up, and she pulled Zhu Qinghao towards her own yard.
"I have some good food at home, let's go back and get some, and then we'll have a candlelight dinner together tonight!"
Zhu Qinghao knew what Qinghao was planning from the moment she started pulling her towards home, after all, the two of them had just said they would go to sleep after dinner.
Since it was already dark, I didn't stop her and followed her into the house, letting her tidy up and see what she could manage.
As expected, Si Tian did not disappoint Zhu Qinghao's expectations. She went back to the house and brought out a large bowl of various kinds of skewers, including both meat and vegetables.
By the light of the flashlight, Zhu Qinghao saw that there were even many vegetables inside, which were not what should be in this season at all. It seemed that she was certain that Zhu Qinghao would not ask her.
