After dinner, Su Yi took Xiao Xiao to the guest room upstairs to take a shower. "Xiao, you can stay in my room tonight. The toiletries and skin care products are in the bathroom."
As for pajamas, Su Yi opened the closet and took out a set of her own, "Can you wear my pajamas?"
"Okay." Xiao Xiao took the pajamas and was pushed into the bathroom by Su Yi.
Su Yi sat on the bed and played with her cell phone.
Not long after, there was a knock on the guest bedroom door and Su Yi went to open it.
Lan Fuchu stood outside, glanced inside calmly, and said calmly: "The second brother is coming."
"Ji Chensi?"
"Yes, he's downstairs. He said he was looking for Xiao Xiao."
"Did you say why?"
"No."
Su Yi hesitated for a moment, then went to knock on the bathroom door, "Xiao, Ji Chensi is here and said he wants to see you."
The sound of water at the door stopped, and Xiao Xiao asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"I don't know. He didn't say."
Xiao Xiao was silent for a long time before she said, "Then I'll go down to see him after I finish my shower."
Although I don't know why he came, there are some things that I should tell him now.
Su Yi went downstairs first. Through the light, he saw Ji Chensi wearing a formal suit. He was no longer as careless as usual. He looked more solemn and serious, with an extraordinary and noble demeanor.
"You're here." Su Yi was surprised and surprised at Ji Chensi's arrival. As soon as Xiao Xiao ran out, he followed her. Something must have happened between them.
Ji Chensi glanced at her, his face still gloomy, "Where's Xiao Xiao?"
"She's taking a shower downstairs. Wait a minute, she'll be down soon." As she spoke, she had already sat down on the sofa. There were three people in the room, two of them were calm, and one was impatient and gloomy, but the situation was quite harmonious.
Lan Fuchu naturally took Su Yi's hand and said, "Second brother, come over and have a cup of tea. There's no need to be so impatient."
"I'm not impatient." Ji Chensi said solemnly.
Su Yi almost laughed, and said she was not impatient? Her eyes were almost spitting fire. She ate a piece of nougat and said with a smile: "Ji Chensi, come on, have a cup of tea, and tell us what happened."
"Nothing happened." Ji Chensi said in a light tone, unwilling to say more.
Su Yi and Lan Fuchu looked at each other and decided to just ignore it.
A moment later, Xiao Xiao came down wearing Su Yi's pajamas. Ji Chensi looked over and immediately stood up, asking angrily, "How do you become a mother?"
"What?" Xiao Xiao was confused before she even walked downstairs.
"Ji Ling is sick."
"Sick? How is that possible? I called him this afternoon and he said he was doing his homework and would go out to play after finishing it."
"That's because he's sensible and doesn't want you to worry." Ji Chensi's eyes were cold, "Now his fever has reached over 39 degrees, believe it or not."
When Xiao Xiao heard that Ji Ling had a fever, her heart began to get confused. Seeing that Ji Chensi was about to leave, she hurriedly followed him, "Ji Chensi, where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going back to take care of my son." Ji Chensi walked towards the door without even stopping.
"Take me back with you!" Ji Ling was sick, and Xiao Xiao just wanted to go back to see her son as soon as possible.
Su Yi stood up from the sofa, "Ji Ling is sick?"
"Well, I have to go back to see him first. Xiaoyi, I'm sorry for today." Wearing her nightgown, Xiao Xiao didn't care about anything else, put on her own shoes and left.

After leaving the Lan residence, Ji Chensi was waiting for the elevator. Xiao Xiao walked over and the elevator door was already open. Ji Chensi walked in expressionlessly. Seeing that Xiao Xiao didn't move, he raised his eyelids and looked at her, "Not leaving?"
"Where is Ji Ling now? I can just take a taxi there." Xiao Xiao thought of Su Huijin's words and subconsciously wanted to stay away from him.
"Whatever you want." Ji Chensi didn't say where he was. He just pressed the down button of the elevator and left with a sullen look on his face.
Looking at the elevator door slowly closing, Xiao Xiao was furious and shouted, "Where does Ji Ling live now? My house? Or Grandpa's house?"
Ji Chensi didn't answer her until the elevator door closed.
Xiao Xiao bit her lower lip.
Su Yi followed out of the house, "Xiao, what happened to Ji Ling?"
"I don't know yet. The fever should be caused by catching a cold. It's all my fault. I didn't go home for one night and made Ji Ling sick. Xiaoyi, I have to go back now. Let's meet next time."
"Okay, okay, don't worry too much. It's common for children to get sick. Don't overthink it."
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Xiao entered the elevator and went downstairs.
At the gate of the sea.
Ji Chensi's white Porsche was parked there.
Xiao Xiao saw it as soon as she walked out of the door, but she pretended not to see it and walked out in her slippers.
Ji Chensi's car followed and rolled down the window. The handsome face was cold. Who else could it be but Ji Chensi? "Get in the car."
Xiao Xiao ignored him and continued walking out.
"There's only sea here, and it's hard to get a car to get out." Ji Chensi said coldly.
Xiao Xiao still ignored him.
Ji Chensi was so angry that his eyebrows jumped. He stepped on the brakes, got out of the car and pulled Xiao Xiao, "I told you to get in the car, did you hear me?"
In just five moves, she was restrained and stuffed into the car.
Xiao Xiao was pulled into the passenger seat. She was so angry that she opened her mouth and tried to bite him hard on the base of his thumb.
Ji Chensi frowned in pain, and immediately became furious, "What are you crazy about?"
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, just buried her head and bit her teeth.
"Let go!" he growled, but he didn't actually push her or hit her.
Xiao Xiao seemed to be venting her anger, or taking revenge, as she bit his palm hard until blood came out. Only after she tasted the sweet and fishy smell of blood did she seem to come to her senses and let go of his hand.
Ji Chensi looked at her sinisterly, his face as cold as ice, "Have you had enough?"
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything. She looked at his knuckles where blood was constantly oozing out, and her mind gradually became clearer.
"Why are you like this? You ran away from home and got angry at me. What are you dissatisfied with?"
"I have nothing against you, I just hate you."
"Do you hate me?" Ji Chensi raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes sharp.
"Yes, I hate you. If you hadn't come to stay in my house when I'm old, would I have no home to return to?" She said hatefully with a desolate look in her eyes.
"Really? You don't like me staying at your house?" Ji Chensi didn't believe it. He suddenly pinched her chin with his fingers and lifted it up. "When I went to your house, you bought my favorite dishes and my favorite drinks, and talked and laughed with me. Is this what you call annoying?"
Xiao Xiao's face was pinched by him, and her eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, "Yes."
His hand suddenly became stronger, "If you hate me, why are you so nice to me?"
"That's because you helped me and Ji Ling."
He narrowed his eyes, "Just because of this?"
"Yes, or not?"
Ji Chensi looked at her coldly and stopped talking.
*
The car drove all the way to Yu Garden.
When Ji Chensi came back, servants and housekeepers came out to greet him. He was different from Lan Fuchu in his style. He liked his house to be well-behaved and lively, so there were many servants in the house.
As soon as Xiao Xiao arrived, she jumped out of the car and walked into the western-style building, asking the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, where is Ji Ling?"
"The young master just fell asleep."
"Which room is he in? Take me to see it."
"This way."
The housekeeper took her upstairs to the master bedroom of Ji Chensi. The room was so large that it made people feel a little lonely. Xiao Xiao walked to the bed and saw Ji Ling sleeping peacefully. She reached out and touched Ji Ling's forehead. He did have a fever, but it was not particularly hot. Xiao Xiao asked the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, what happened to Ji Ling?"
"The young master has a fever. The family doctor just came to see him and said it was indigestion."
"How high is the fever?"
"I took my temperature about ten minutes ago. It was 37.6 degrees."
"That's good." Hearing the temperature, Xiao Xiao felt a little relieved. "Have you used the medicine?"
"Not yet. The doctor ordered me to take medication if I am over 38.5."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Well, housekeeper, go get me a basin of warm water."
The housekeeper went to fetch warm water as instructed.
When Ji Chensi came in from outside, he saw Xiao Xiao sitting in front of the bed with her sleeves rolled up, using a warm towel to cool Ji Ling down physically.
This stupid woman is always so gentle when treating her son, so gentle... It makes people feel sorry for her...
*
When it was just getting light in the morning, Ji Ling's fever had finally subsided. Xiao Xiao had been doing physical cooling for Ji Ling all night. She was so sleepy that she dozed off on the edge of the bed. In a daze, she felt someone pick her up and lay her flat on the bed.
Xiao Xiao bumped into a soft object and thought it was Ji Ling, so she hugged him with her backhand, "Ji Ling..."
Ji Chensi, whose arms were hugged, said, "..."
Did this woman treat him as her son? Just as he was about to brush her hand away, he heard her say lazily: "Ji Ling, mommy will hold you to sleep, don't make a fuss..."
After saying that, she pouted and kissed him on the arm.
Ji Chensi shuddered all over and his face turned cold.
Xiao Xiao was still rubbing his arm and muttering in a low voice: "Ji Ling, Mommy loves you..."
After saying that, he took another bite.
The soft lips pressed against his skin, sending a strange and tingling electric current through his body.
Ji Chensi's eyes darkened and he stared at her deeply. After a moment, he pulled the quilt over her and turned away.
