There was silence.
Jiang Chuyi: "Why are you jealous of even a rabbit?"
Zong Ye closed his eyes and did not refute. He rubbed her palm lightly, urging her silently.
Rabbit moved his ears and consciously moved his short legs to the corner.
In his previous life, Souya must have been a big pet cat, the one with the smallest heart, the best looks, the best at acting coquettish, and the one that was loved the most by his owner.
Jiang Chuyi followed his wishes and scratched his chin like a rabbit, stroking the side of his face with her thumb.
Zong Ye's skin is very good, well-known in the industry, so tender that you can squeeze water out of it. It feels very different from the soft and fluffy rabbit hair, but it's very comfortable. Jiang Chuyi couldn't help but touch it a few more times.
After touching him, she was about to take her hand back, but he grabbed it again. After several times, Jiang Chuyi had no choice but to lower her head and continue reading the script, absent-mindedly touching Zongye with her other hand.
He would adjust the position of her hands from time to time, and Jiang Chuyi would follow his wishes, touching her face, ears, eyes, and head, taking care of every part.
Jiang Chuyi flipped through the script in her hand, studying the lines, and didn't notice the passage of time. When she came across a few places that she didn't quite understand, she wanted to find a pen to mark them out, but suddenly she felt someone bit her hand twice.
Jiang Chuyi turned her head.
Zong Ye's brows were slightly frowned, his face was pale with a little blush, and his eyes were rippling.
She put down the script and touched Souya's forehead with the back of her hand. "What's wrong? Do you have a fever too?"
Zong Ye looked at her and said nothing.
Jiang Chuyi could see from his expression that he looked a bit embarrassed and aggrieved.
She asked again: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zong Ye bit her finger, "Chu Yi, you make me feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Chuyi reacted.
Souya is a pretty thick-skinned guy. He asked her to do this and that, and she did it according to his request. In the end, he even accused her like a victim.
At one moment she felt that she was being wronged, and at another moment she found it funny.
How come Zongye is like a mimosa, just poke it twice and it will...
Inappropriately, Jiang Chuyi recalled a comment from a netizen: Zong Ye was born with the look of someone who needed to sleep.
Jiang Chuyi's fever had just subsided, and she was still a little weak. She simply stopped reading the script and went to sleep peacefully with Zong.
At noon, Zong Ye got up and went to the kitchen to cook porridge and a pot of milky fish soup. After everything was ready, he brought it to her on the tea table.
"Chu Yi, shall I feed you?"
Jiang Chuyi looked at the TV: "Thank you, I can do it myself."
Zong Ye seemed not to hear this, he took the bowl and sat beside her, "You are still sick, the food is very hot, you have to eat slowly, I am afraid you will be tired holding it."
Jiang Chuyi: “…”
She really wanted to remind him that she just had a fever and was not a vegetative state paralyzed in bed, so there was no need to take such attentive care of her.
But looking at Souya's appearance, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of being taken care of, so he let him serve him food and water.
Patients have many privileges. For example, Jiang Chuyi can command Zong Ye to change Rabbit's water and food and clean its poop. Another example is that she can ask Zong Ye to help her pick up the express parcels that have been piled up for a few days.
After yesterday's heavy rain, the weather in Shanghai is very good today, and even the air is much fresher. There are a few pots of green plants in the corner of the living room, and the warm afternoon sun shines on the wooden floor.
Jiang Chuyi lay on the sofa watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and Zong Ye sat on the carpet, helping her patiently open the parcels one by one.
They are all little girls' stuff.
Rose-scented bath balls, Lego, birthday wall hangings, Forbidden City albums, perfumes, and beautifully packaged cosmetics…
Zong Ye suddenly said, "Chu Yi, I like your house very much."
"You like my house?" Jiang Chuyi was surprised. "The house price in my area is probably not even a fraction of yours."
"Your home makes me feel very warm, just like you."
Jiang Chuyi pretended to concentrate on watching TV. After a while, she whispered casually, "If you like it, come more often in the future."
Zongye smiled and said, "Okay."

On Jiang Chuyi's birthday, Chen Yi and Zhao Guangyu came together at noon.
When they both walked in, they were stunned when they saw Souya. After coming in, they were stunned again when they received the gift handed to them by Souya, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Chen Yi recognized the expensive box in the bag at a glance and looked at Jiang Chuyi uncertainly: "What's the matter? Why are you so polite? It's not my birthday today."
Zongye explained: "You are all Chuyi's friends. I was too busy outside before, so I didn't have the time to formally meet you. This is a greeting gift."
Chen Yi: “…”
Zhao Guangyu reminded him: "Teacher Zong, this is not the first time we have met."
"Hmm?" Zong Ye smiled, "My identity is different now, isn't it?"
Zhao Guangyu was not as reserved as Chen Yi. He excitedly opened the gift and found that it was BloodXGentle's debut commemorative album, which was almost out of print, and it was signed by four people. Behind Ji Kai's solo poster, there was also a handwritten signed blessing.
Zhao Guangyu was so moved that he shouted, "Stop talking, Zong Ye, you are my real brother. Who is Jiang Chuyi? I don't know him anymore."
Jiang Chuyi: “…”
Chen Yi covered his face and pulled him, "Okay, that's enough, don't embarrass yourself."
Ever since she saw Zong Ye at Jiang Chuyi's house, Chen Yi has always had a feeling that it's unreal. Although she already knew that her friend was dating a top star in the circle, she only visited the super topic occasionally to help Jiang Chuyi pay attention to the wind and grass movement on the Internet, and she never inquired too much about their daily interaction mode.
BXG is a well-known boy band that has been very popular for several years since its debut. As the top of the group, Zong Ye often appears on social media and in various hot searches. He is a very distant male star. In her mind, Zong Ye is the kind of person who can only be admired from afar and cannot be approached even if he is close.
Now, as a member of the in-laws' family, she first received a cordial and polite "greeting" from Souya, and then saw Souya greet them, walk into the kitchen very naturally, put on an apron, and continue to wash and pick vegetables.
The overwhelming feeling of being a husband made Chen Yi unable to hold back any longer.
Pulling Jiang Chuyi over, Chen Yi asked in a low voice, "Jiang Chuyi, tell me the truth, what kind of curse did you cast on Zong Ye?"
"What kind of curse can I put on him?" Jiang Chuyi was confused.
"Zong Ye is totally different from what I imagined?!" Looking at the busy figure in the kitchen, Chen Yi questioned reasonably, "Do you really have nothing on him?"
Jiang Chuyi patted her and said, "He is not quite the same as I imagined."
That afternoon, Chen Yi met Wang Tan, Fu Cheng, Xin He, Ji Kai... As long as there was a paparazzi lurking near Jiang Chuyi's house, the news material for the next half month would be ready.
Each of them is a hot topic in the entertainment industry, which puts Chen Yi under a lot of pressure.
Wang Tan, Xin He, and Chen Yi were playing poker, Ji Kai and Zhao Guangyu were playing games, and Fu Cheng was sleeping with headphones on.
Jiang Chuyi would wash some fruits for them from time to time, and most of the time she would chat with Zong Ye in the kitchen.
Xin He looked at the two people in the kitchen, "They look like a young couple."
Wang Tan clicked his tongue, "What do you mean by similar? Isn't it true that our teacher Zong has already started his newlywed life in advance?"
Xin He shouted: "Jiang Chuyi, come out and help me play, I need to rest for a while!"
Jiang Chuyi responded.
"Do you know how to play cards?" Wang Tan showed her the WeChat account-keeping app. "We are counting the money here. Don't default on your debt when the time comes."
"How come I can't play?" Jiang Chuyi said seriously, "I even downloaded Happy Landlord. Sometimes when I think my teammates are bad, I throw tomatoes and eggs at them."
Wang Tan: “…”
Soon, Wang Tan realized that what Jiang Chuyi said was true.
On the accounting software, the red number under his name gradually turned green, and Wang Tan's face changed.
Just then, Zong Ye brought a cup of prepared medicine to Jiang Chuyi.
Wang Tan yelled at him: "Zongye, your wife bullied me."
Zong Ye raised his eyebrows and asked Jiang Chuyi with a smile: "Why did you bully him?"
After she finished drinking the medicine, Zong naturally raised his hand, bent his index finger, and wiped her mouth with a gentle and doting look.
Chen Yi was so shocked that he almost spit out his tears.
Looking at Wang Tan's expression, he seemed to have gotten used to Zong Ye's behavior. Chen Yi forced himself not to speak.
Zong Ye was so exaggerated about Jiang Chuyi that... Chen Yi couldn't find words to describe it. Even CP fans wouldn't dare to spread rumors to this extent.
Jiang Chuyi had not recovered from her cold yet, so she was unable to drink with them in the evening.
Zong Ye sat next to Jiang Chuyi and chatted with Fu Cheng about work during the meal.
While talking to others, Zong Ye peeled the shrimps and fed them to Jiang Chuyi.
Feeling the people at the table pause and look at him, Jiang Chuyi said quickly: "I can eat it by myself."
Zong didn't notice anything, "Would you like some soup? I'll serve you some?"
Fu Cheng: “…”
Wang Tan finally couldn't help it, "What's your status, Zongye? This is not the way you should be a dog for your wife."
Ji Kai: "It's really embarrassing for us men."
Despite their constant chatter, Zongye still maintained his good-tempered attitude and said, "Just enjoy your meal and leave me alone."
Wang Tan looked hopeless and said, "No one wants to take care of you."
After dinner, under Xin He's direction, everyone took a group photo together.
In line with the principle of keeping a low profile, Jiang Chuyi only put one table of food in the birthday photo selection and did not let anyone else appear in the photo.
@姜初宜V: I am one year older! Thank you for your blessings~[Birthday cake][Picture]
Two hours after she posted this Weibo, #姜初宜生日# became a hot search topic.
At that time, the others had just left, and Zong Ye was still washing dishes in the kitchen. Jiang Chuyi sat in the hanging chair, called her family, and opened Weibo again. When she saw this trending search, her first reaction was, why did Gao Ning send her a scam again
Jiang Chuyi was puzzled and asked Gao Ning on WeChat: "Why did you buy hot searches for me? I don't need this kind of popularity now."
Gao Ning: "Big sister? Do you think this trending search was bought? Didn't you see it in the comment section?"
Jiang Chuyi immediately clicked on the comments and sure enough, saw several familiar figures.
Her head buzzed.
@辛荷V: "Baby, happy birthday, always happy~"
@陈亿V: "Happy birthday, beautiful lady"
@赵光尊: "Rappers don't easily wish others a happy birthday, but you are an exception [squinting]"
@冀凯V: "Happy birthday, Teacher Jiang!"
@王潭V: "Happy birthday, you're welcome"
@FuchengV: "Happy Birthday"
@宗也V: "Happy birthday, Chuyi."
The four members of BloodXGentle gathered together to send their blessings. The last time such a grand occasion happened was in the comment section of the IM CEO two years ago. Whenever the four of them appeared at the same time, fans would always comment and like battles. The IM CEO's Weibo post eventually received nearly one million comments.
At this moment, the comments on Jiang Chuyi’s birthday Weibo are still skyrocketing.
[Jiang Chuyi, you are quite capable, have you ever saved the lives of those people from Xibao? ]
[I don’t envy the mandarin ducks or the immortals, I only envy Mr. Jiang every day]
[Even Fucheng has ended... Who wouldn't say it's awesome after watching this?]
[I am dying of laughter. The most annoying people in this comment section are the fans of Zong Yewei. They all collectively wrote “What kind of friendship is this?” They are really stubborn...]
[I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m completely crazy! Don’t bother with me!!! If Yijian Zongqing is not real, then I’m fake. Zongye brought his brothers to say happy birthday to his wife, right? Those who understand will understand, woo woo woo]

Zong Ye put the last bowl into the sterilizer, washed his hands and walked out.
She closed the comments section and put down her phone. “Why are you guys suddenly posting on Weibo together?”
Zongye came over, squatted in front of her, looked up at her and said, "Happy birthday to you."
"You asked them to send it?"
Zong did not comment.
She hesitated: "Wouldn't this be... a bit too high-profile?"
Zong Ye looked at her for a long time, and said calmly: "Chu Yi, I really want to post on Weibo alone, and I really want to be alone and wish you well, but I know that if I do so now, it will bring you a lot of trouble... So I can only mingle with your friends and send you my blessings."
"Don't say that..." Jiang Chuyi slid down from the hanging chair, squatted side by side with Zong Ye, tilted her head, and blinked twice, "I'm very happy that you can come and spend my birthday with me."
He glanced at her white feet and whispered, "Don't step on the ground, be careful of the cold."
She didn't care too much, "It's okay again."
Zongye reached out and prepared to take the cotton slippers.
Jiang Chuyi's heart moved and she took the initiative to throw herself on him.
He was caught off guard and subconsciously protected her with his hands. The two of them lost their balance and rolled to the ground together. Jiang Chuyi pretended to be fierce and pinched his face, "Zong Ye, don't be unhappy, I just asked, I don't mean to blame you."
He was silent for a moment.
Jiang Chuyi carefully observed Zong Ye's reaction.
Sure enough, he was pinned down by her, not daring to move at will, and that embarrassed look slowly reappeared in his face.
Jiang Chuyi smiled secretly in her heart.
She reached out her finger and carefully touched his eyelashes.
Zongye's eyelashes trembled slightly.
She curiously touched his ear again, and sure enough, it turned red and hot in a short while.
Ruby didn't know what the two of them were doing. He was attracted by the noise and squatted not far away to watch.
For the first time, Jiang Chuyi found it so fun to tease him, "Zongye, you look like a mimosa."
Zongye held her hand, "Don't..."
"Did you forget when you bullied me before?"
Knowing that he was still concerned about his illness and didn't dare to do anything to her, Jiang Chuyi was filled with anger, "I haven't taken revenge yet."
He asked with difficulty: "Then... how are you going to retaliate against me?"
She looked down at him and said, "Promise me first that you can't move, and you can't do what you did last time."
Zongye closed his eyes and controlled his tone to be steady: "Okay, I'll try my best."
Through the sweater, Jiang Chuyi lowered her head and bit his shoulder.
As expected, Zong was trembling.
The situation took over, as if she knew how to punish him. Jiang Chuyi endured the shame, moved closer, and bit the rouge mole on the side of his neck.
She actually liked this place.
But she was afraid that if she went too far, Zong Ye would lose control, and she would be the one to suffer. Now he let her do whatever she wanted, and Jiang Chuyi took advantage of the situation and took advantage of it.
Rabbit imitated his master's actions and moved closer to Souya's hand to start chewing on it.
Souya raised his arm slightly, picked up the fat rabbit absentmindedly, and put it a little further away.
She looked over there.
Zongye's voice was hoarse, panting softly, and he didn't know who he was talking to, "Be good, bite daddy gently."
