Zheng Shuyi felt that if things continued like this, she would soon succumb and lose her defenses.
Yan Yixing noticed her discomfort, immediately looked away, and obediently ate her breakfast.
And so, the two finished their meal quietly. Yan Yixing remained obedient throughout and did not ask any further questions.
After the meal, Yan Yixing took the initiative to clear the table.
"I'll do it, you go and rest."
Zheng Shuyi took the bowl and chopsticks and started cleaning up herself. When her hand accidentally touched Yan Yixing, she felt as if she had been electrocuted and instinctively tried to pull it back.
"Smack!"
Zheng Shuyi's hand trembled, and she lost her grip on the bowl, which fell to the ground and shattered.
She quickly squatted down to pick up the broken pieces.
"ah!"
Her hand was cut by the slag, and she cried out in pain as blood dripped from her fingertip onto the ground.
"Fool, why are you picking it up with your hands?"
This time, Yan Yixing did not immediately take her to clean the wound, but instead grabbed her finger and put it in her mouth.
Zheng Shuyi was shocked by this action and stared at him in disbelief. She felt a warm sensation on her fingertips, and a slightly tingling feeling.
She stared blankly at the man in front of her, his face full of anxiety and concern for her. She pulled her hand away and then kissed his thin lips...
This time it was Yan Yixing's turn to be stunned. Was this her answer? Then he hugged her and deepened the kiss.
"Sit still, I'll go get the first-aid kit."
Yan Yixing's voice was hoarse but very soothing. If Zheng Shuyi hadn't had a wound on her hand that needed treatment, he definitely wouldn't have let her go so quickly.
"good."
Zheng Shuyi nodded shyly, her face flushed, and looked at Yan Yixing with a shy expression before sitting on the sofa and waiting for him quietly.
Yan Yixing came over with a first-aid kit, used a cotton swab soaked in iodine to disinfect the wound, and then applied a band-aid.
"Sit still while I sweep away the crumbs."
Yan Yixing placed a kiss on her forehead.
"good."
At this moment, Zheng Shuyi was completely captivated and could only utter a silly "okay".
Yan Yixing brought a broom and dustpan and quickly cleaned it up, then mopped it as well.
He tried his best not to bend over, afraid of aggravating his wound.
Zheng Shuyi stared at him blankly for a long time.
After Yan Yixing tidied everything up, he sat down next to her.
"Was that your answer just now? Did you agree to be my girlfriend?"
To be more certain of her answer and to get the answer from her, Yan Yixing decided to ask her anyway.
"Um……"
Zheng Shuyi blushed and responded somewhat shyly, looking at him with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.
I will protect you!
Yan Yixing was overjoyed to receive the "official certification." She had thought of many things to say, but at this moment she didn't say them, only this one sentence.
"Um."
Zheng Shuyi responded softly and nodded.
"You should go and rest."
Although you can get out of bed and move around, it's still not advisable to stay in bed for too long; you still need to rest in bed.
"Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say."
Yan Yixing was particularly well-behaved at this moment, and he was more willing to listen to what she said.
What they didn't know was that the Bloodthirsty Gang members had been watching the villa for a long time, looking for an opportunity to make their move.
Zheng Shuyi helped Yan Yixing back to the secret room. Except for meals, they would stay in the secret room all the time.
Now Zheng Shuyi no longer needs to go out to buy the ingredients herself; they are all purchased and delivered by Yan Xiluo's people.
"Suddenly I feel that this injury was totally worth it!"
Yan Yixing sighed as she looked at Zheng Shuyi's beautiful face.
"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Who would think getting hurt is worth it?"
Zheng Shuyi frowned slightly. This person was injured in the abdomen, so how come his brain was also damaged?
"It was worth it! Otherwise, how would I have met you? This injury was totally worth it!"
Yan Yixing said with a grin, he never expected that getting injured would lead to meeting someone he liked. A girl like her, so rare even with a lantern, he had actually found!
"..."
"Fool."
Zheng Shuyi was both annoyed and amused, thinking that this person wasn't very bright, but also felt a warm feeling in her heart.
He then shook his head helplessly and prepared to leave.
Where to?
Yan Yixing reacted quickly and grabbed Zheng Shuyi's hand.
"Work."
Zheng Shuyi was clearly surprised that Yan Yixing would grab her hand, and her body stiffened for a moment.
"Could you move your work to my place? I need to be able to see you; I don't feel safe if I can't see you for even a moment."
Yan Yixing winked at her coquettishly, her tone pleading.
"Let's make this clear first, you're not allowed to disturb my work, or I'll go back outside immediately."
She was afraid that Yan Yixing would pester her and she wouldn't be able to work properly, just like at the dinner table just now, she felt like he could see right through her.
"Okay, okay! I definitely won't bother you during work hours!"
Upon hearing Zheng Shuyi's agreement, Yan Yixing immediately reassured her.
"Uh-huh."
Zheng Shuyi then left to get something from another room.

Lengmingye Apartment
After returning home, Leng Mingye felt something was off. He had a feeling that Yan Yinran's older sister was very likely the person he was looking for.
The Lin couple said her name was Yan Xiluo, but they didn't know if it was Yan or Yan (a homophone for "Yan" in Chinese), but there were two suspicious points...
Yan Qirui calls Yan Yinran's older sister "Luoluo," while Yan Yinran says that her sister was just found.
This perfectly matches what the Lin family couple said... "Luo Luo," who was recognized by her biological parents and given the surname Yan, was named Yan Xiluo.
Could it be her? If so, then he saw Little Strawberry's picture today, and so this is what she looks like...
She seems like a very sunny girl, with an infectious smile, and she's also very pretty.
Leng Mingye pondered repeatedly; he desperately wanted to know if it was her.
He took the strawberry necklace out of the jewelry box again and looked at it carefully. He was suddenly surprised to find two capital letters engraved on the bracelet - LL. Could this mean "Luo Luo"?
This was the little girl's nickname. He stared at the bracelet for a long time before carefully putting the strawberry bracelet back into the jewelry box.
He then loosened his tie, went to the closet to get a nightgown, and went to the bathroom.

On the plane
Yan Xiluo had already woken up from a nap. After checking the messages on various apps and confirming that nothing was wrong, she opened WeChat.
"Luo Luo, someone came to our house today, a young man. He said he's here to see you."
“He used to live in Imperial Bay. He said that you encouraged him when he was a child and he wanted to thank you in person.”
This message was sent to her by Yang Mei several hours ago, and she's only seeing it now.
Yan Xiluo frowned slightly, unable to recall anything. She had encouraged too many people; how could she possibly remember them all? Besides… there was no need for a special thank you, was there?
This person is so strange...
