When Jiang Chen returned, he discovered that this lady had actually nestled herself on the couch and fallen asleep.

He had to admit.

This woman looked much cuter sleeping than awake, with softer facial lines, and sunlight through the curved floor-to-ceiling window spilling onto her, making her look like a child.

If only this lady could always look like this, wouldn't that be great?

Jiang Chen silently lamented, didn't wake her, made sure her scattered blanket was properly covering her, and then took the kettle to boil some water.

Suddenly, the ringtone of the cell phone went off.

Jiang Chen fished out the phone, quickly set it to silent, and turned his head to glance at Miss Shi on the sofa.

The other party was still sound asleep.

Probably due to the medicine, which tends to make one tired.

He carried the phone with him into the bathroom.

"Bro."

It was Hong Xiaoyu.

"What's up?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Hong Xiaoyu seemed a bit embarrassed, hesitating and mumbling.

"Spit it out."

Jiang Chen said with a chuckle.

"...Bro, Ren Miao wants, wants to invite you to dinner."

Hong Xiaoyu finally said in a low voice.

Ren Miao?

It took Jiang Chen a moment to realize that it was the girl his cousin liked.

But he was a bit surprised.

Why would she think of inviting him to dinner?

"She's inviting me to dinner? For real?"

"Yeah, of course it's real."

Perhaps also finding it abrupt, Hong Xiaoyu hurriedly explained, "Didn't you help them out by paying the bill yesterday? She felt bad, so she told me she wanted to repay you for the meal..."

This girl.

She's quite courteous.

Jiang Chen subconsciously thought of Li Shuru.

When he first pursued Li Shuru, he had helped by picking up the bill at KIMI, and Li Shuru had also given him the money back afterward.

Of course.

Though he had only met her once.

But that girl, unlike Li Shuru, was obviously a different type, at least she must be more "down to earth" than Li Shuru.

If it were Li Shuru, without a doubt, his little brother probably wouldn't even have the courage to fancy her.

"I'm afraid I can't do today, I'm busy."

"No rush, bro, just let me know when you're free."

"Alright."

"Then bro, I'll hang up now."

"Okay."

Jiang Chen put away the phone and stepped out of the bathroom.

Around three in the afternoon.

Miss Shi, having had a delightful nap, slowly woke up, opened her eyes, and immediately saw a man sitting next to her, watching the television.

The television was on mute.

She wasn't startled, knowing that no one else could come into her room without her permission, through the bodyguards so easily.

"What time is it?"

She asked lazily.

"Three o'clock."

Jiang Chen turned his head, "Awake?"

"It's so hot."

Shi Qianxi threw off the blanket, sweat already forming on her forehead, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

She sat up.

"I did, but you ignored me, sleeping like a pig."

Jiang Chen said deadpan.

"You're the pig."

Shi Qianxi stretched out her leg to kick him, but Jiang Chen, as if he had anticipated it, got up in advance, took the thermos, and made a cup of medicine.

"Drink this."

He walked back over.

"What's this?"

Looking at the dark-colored medicine, Shi Qianxi instinctively frowned.

"Cold medicine, drink up."

"Is it bitter?"

Shi Qianxi looked up.

"..."

Jiang Chen's face was expressionless, "Do you need me to add some sugar?"

Shi Qianxi nodded eagerly.

"Sure, why not!"

"Sure your head!"

Jiang Chen, full of masculine vigor, shoved the cup into her hands.

"If you don't want to embarrass yourself by looking sick in front of so many people tonight, just drink it."

Shi Qianxi pouted, and even though she was reluctant, she obediently gripped the cup and tentatively took a sip.

"So bitter..."

Just one sip, and her delicate melon-seed face couldn't stop wrinkling up.

For a moment, Jiang Chen didn't know whether she was faking it or not.

After all, given Missy's family background, she should have been living in clover all her life.

"Bitter or not, you have to finish it."

Jiang Chen was quite firm and domineering.

"I won't drink it."

Shi Qianxi shook her head and put down the cup, "Unless you feed me."

"..."

Jiang Chen was both amused and exasperated.

Sometimes, he couldn't figure out whether this woman was actually older than him.

"Are you still a child? When you're sick, do you negotiate with the doctor?"

"Then I won't drink it."

Miss Shi was resolute and decisive, placing the mostly full cup of medicine on the coffee table, throwing a tantrum.

Jiang Chen felt helpless. Initially, he didn't want to bother, as it wasn't his problem whether she suffered physically or got embarrassed, but for some reason, he eventually picked up the cup.

Seeing this, a sly triumphant look flashed in Shi Qianxi's eyes, but she kept her composure.

The war between men and women truly is a battlefield.

Rushing headlong isn't always the best approach.

One must "adapt to the enemy," employing strategy.

As she saw him approaching with a stern face and the medicine, Shi Qianxi couldn't help wanting to laugh.

This guy.

He obviously cared about her, yet he always liked to put on a surly face.

Really adorable.

"Do I owe you money?"

Shi Qianxi struggled to suppress the twitch of her lips.

"Don't you owe me money?"

Jiang Chen retorted.

"..."

Shi Qianxi was momentarily at a loss for words and quickly changed the subject.

"The medicine is bitter enough as it is, and you're scowling. How do you expect someone to be able to drink it?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"Ever heard of serving with a smile?"

Shi Qianxi raised her hand, positioning it in front of her chin, and made an enlarging gesture.

"Smile."

Jiang Chen squeezed out a stiff smile.

"Is this better?"

"That's more like it."

Shi Qianxi acted satisfied, and then cooperatively opened her red lips.

Jiang Chen, struggling against the urge to pour all the medicine down in one go, patiently, gradually fed her the medicine until she slowly finished it. But, just when Jiang Chen was relieved to put down the cup at last,

sudden change occurred.

Shi Qianxi suddenly hugged him, straightened up her body, and pounced on him aggressively.

A perfect tiger's pounce.

Jiang Chen only saw a delicate melon-seed face rapidly closing in on him, not giving him any time to react.

Then mouth to mouth.

The warm and bitter liquid immediately surged into his mouth.

At the same time,

Jiang Chen also felt a soft, smooth tongue exploring his mouth like a little snake.

His eyes widened, and after a brief moment of stupefaction, he hurriedly pushed her away.

"Gulp."

Instinctively, the medicine went down his throat.

"What are you doing?!"

He stood up and roared with anger.

Shi Qianxi looked innocent.

"What am I doing? Who knows if this is even medicine? What if you were poisoning me? That's why you should also have a taste."

How self-righteous.

Such high alertness.

"You..."

Jiang Chen was left speechless by her retort.

Miss Shi nonchalantly stretched, got up from the couch,

"I've broken into a sweat, I'm going to take a shower."

Jiang Chen watched her enter the bedroom, his face changing colors.

After a while,

he could only helplessly sit down, pull out a tissue, and listlessly wipe his mouth.
