As if he were doing something wrong, his heart started beating exceptionally fast like it were about to jump out of his chest.

His ears were hot, too. It didn’t take a genius to know that they were red. Just a light kiss, and he straightened his back again. How could he ask for more when he was already so content?

That would be excessive.

After staring at her peaceful sleeping face for a long time, Rong Si looked away and lay down on his bed again.

***

When her stomach had stopped hurting, Su Jiu slept well. As she woke up the next morning, it was already past nine. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she sat up in bed. She realized that the bed beside her was empty. The blanket was neatly made, and the little villain was gone.

“Big Brother?” Su Jiu called out. No response came back. Clearly, he was no longer in the room.

Just as she was feeling a little disappointed, her phone rang. Seeing the number of the little villain on the screen, Su Jiu immediately raised it to her ear to answer.

Rong Si’s pleasant voice came from the other end. “Are you up?”

When Su Jiu heard his question, her mood instantly improved. “I’m up. Big Brother, where are you?”

“The restaurant on the second floor. What would you like? I’ll bring you something.”

So he went to buy me breakfast?

Su Jiu’s heart softened again. Since he was going to help her buy breakfast, she would gladly accept it. After a moment’s thought, she told him what she wanted to eat. Then, she hung up and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Soon after, Rong Si returned. Song Xinyan entered the room with him. As she came in, she said to him, “You brought Little Jiu so much food. Will she be able to finish all of it?”

“It doesn’t matter.” He could take care of the rest.

After washing her face, Su Jiu came out of the bathroom. She saw that the little villain had come in with Song Xinyan; the two of them were still talking. Even though she knew that the two of them were not related, she felt uncomfortable for a moment.

She didn’t like the little villain getting too close to other girls!

With Song Xinyan by his side, Rong Si also felt uncomfortable. He instinctively rejected her. The moment he saw Su Jiu, he subconsciously distanced himself from Song Xinyan as if he wanted to prove something to Su Jiu.

Song Xinyan was the same as she was in the original novel, silly and carefree, completely unaware of his actions. When she saw Su Jiu, she immediately smiled. “Little Jiu, I wanted to call you to go shopping. I didn’t expect you to sleep until now! Tell me, what did you do last night?”

Last night…

That question was quite embarrassing. Su Jiu laughed dryly. “What could I do? Sleep, of course!”

“Oh? Is that so? Did you sleep alone or with someone?” Song Xinyan deliberately asked with a meaningful smile and glanced at Rong Si.

Recalling what had happened last night, especially when he had secretly kissed Su Jiu, Rong Si felt a little embarrassed and quickly looked away.

Su Jiu blushed. “Of course, I slept alone. What are you thinking?”

“Tsk tsk! It’s indeed easy for people to jump to conclusions when a man and a woman are alone together. You can’t blame me for this,” Song Xinyan said confidently.

There was no way to continue this. Su Jiu quickly changed the topic and said to Rong Si, “Big Brother, what did you buy?”

Rong Si turned to her and placed the takeaway box on the coffee table in the room. “I bought what you said you wanted on the phone.”

When Su Jiu opened the box, she realized that other than what she wanted to eat, there were some things she had not ordered. In short, the little villain had bought extra things.
