As Shen Zhiyi held onto that thin chain, her heart suddenly softened.
"knew."
"Absolutely, absolutely, I won't let go."
...
The next day, Shen Zhiyi invited Qi Jinjiu to go shopping.
"Bring that brat along too?" Qi Jinjiu asked疑惑地 on the other end of the phone. "Why bring him?"
Shen Zhiyi chuckled awkwardly.
“A few days ago, he delivered a big order to me, and I wanted to thank him by buying him some clothes.”
"Hey!" Qi Jinjiu laughed, "Why are you being so polite with him?"
“Supporting your business, isn’t that what he should do? Besides, I think that brat is quite happy to do it.”
"One shouldn't accept rewards without merit," Shen Zhiyi said with a smile.
She thought she would talk to Ajiu about it properly after they finished shopping and had dinner that evening.
“Alright, we just happen to need someone to carry our bags,” Qi Jinjiu said readily. “I’ll talk to him later.”
"Okay." Shen Zhiyi hung up the phone feeling guilty.
Qi Yuran embraced her from behind, clinging to the skin on the back of her neck, nibbling and kissing it gently.
"Is my sister going to buy me clothes?"
"Stop it..." Shen Zhiyi blushed, dodging his kisses while looking at the clothes she had torn and scattered all over the hotel floor.
She lowered her eyes and bit her lip.
"I tore so many of your clothes, I'll give you two replacements."
Last night she touched it and looked at it.
They took full advantage of him.
But he wasn't given many bites of meat.
I did feel a little embarrassed...
"Sister, you have to compensate me?" Qi Yuran's eyes darkened as he turned her face away.
"Then why buy clothes?"
He kissed her eyelids and said in a hoarse voice, "Why don't I tear a couple of the clothes my sister is wearing?"
After saying that, he lowered his head and started to pick at the button on her collarbone.
"Qi Yuran..." Shen Zhiyi pushed his head away, "No."
"Ajiu hasn't agreed to us being together yet."
Qi Yuran glanced at her with some disappointment, and even felt a surge of annoyance towards Qi Jinjiu.
He took her hand.
He forced her to feel his own burning passion.
Her eyes and brows, however, showed utter grievance.
"Sister, won't you have pity on me?"
"I endured it all night, it was really tough..."
Shen Zhiyi was startled by his fiery temperature.
She tried to pull her fingertips back, but he pulled them back again.
"If you won't give me meat, can't you at least give me some soup?" His voice was soothing and hoarse, and even his eyes were filled with a hazy affection, making it impossible not to fall in love at first glance.
He held her hand.
Holding her fingertips felt like holding a delicate, cool piece of jade, a stark contrast to his hot, rough touch.
Qi Yuran sighed.
He combined his vulnerability and ferocity, displaying them clearly and openly before her.
Shen Zhiyi dared not look, nor dared she move.
She could only droop her eyelashes softly, letting him act as...

When they went shopping in the evening, Qi Yuran completely ignored Qi Jinjiu's gaze and followed Shen Zhiyi around happily, carrying her bag, pouring water, and buying her milk tea.
Qi Jinjiu couldn't help but laugh.
Are you poisonous?
"Even the lackeys I hire for two thousand a day aren't as diligent as you."
"My sister wants to buy me clothes, what's wrong with me helping her?" Qi Yuran glanced at her, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, his earring reflecting a dazzling dark light under the lamp.
He paused.
"Besides, didn't you see my sister's hands are all red?"
Shen Zhiyi was sipping her milk tea when she suddenly choked.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough..."
"Are you alright?" Qi Jinjiu patted her back.
Shen Zhiyi waved her hand, tears welling up in her eyes.
She secretly glared at Qi Yuran.
Qi Jinjiu stared at her palm and frowned. "It is a little red."
"Did you stay up all night wrapping flowers again yesterday?"
"Hmm..." Shen Zhiyi felt extremely guilty and looked at the store not far away. "Hey, the clothes in that store look pretty good. Let's go take a look."
She hurried forward.
Qi Jinjiu pulled her back abruptly, "That's a men's clothing store, let's browse it last."
"I'll just buy the brat a couple of outfits later."
"Let's go to that one first." She pointed to another women's clothing store. "Their owner has brought in a lot of new dresses, they're so pretty, I'll take you to try them on."
Qi Yuran also agreed wholeheartedly.
Shen Zhiyi had no choice but to go with them.
"What style of clothes do you prefer? I can recommend some." The shop assistant greeted them warmly.
Qi Jinjiu helped Shen Zhiyi choose two dresses.
A light purple polka-dot halter dress with a fishtail hem and a cutout back, held together only by a few crisscrossing straps.
It's alluring with a touch of retro charm, very feminine.
The other one was a relatively conservative red dress with an umbrella-shaped skirt and thick fabric.
But the zipper on that skirt was open right in the center of the chest.
It's somewhat suggestive.
Shen Zhiyi blushed slightly and declined, feeling a little embarrassed, "Neither of these are my style..."
"Oh! Give it a try!" Qi Jinjiu said excitedly, "It's rare to see you in clothes like this."
"That tea dress you wore last time really amazed me."
"You should try wearing brightly colored dresses more often; they really flatter your skin and figure! Don't wear drab clothes all the time."
"I did that for the convenience of my work," Shen Zhiyi chuckled.
"So when you're not working, try on more pretty dresses like these~" Qi Jinjiu laughed and pushed her into the fitting room, "Yi Bao has such a great figure, she'll definitely look incredibly hot in these!"
"I'll try on a couple too!"
