Xi Zhong, who was holding a red umbrella and leaning against the white wall, lowered his usually strong neck and shoulders. The rainwater sliding down from the eaves was no longer rushing like before.

The arrogant beauty, exhausted both physically and mentally, murmured with her blood-stained lips: "The color of bamboo is green under the stream, and the plum blossoms are pitiful in the snow."

Liu Danqiu at the door handed Tan Yu a beautiful whistle covered in silver light, "If anything happens, blow the whistle and we will take action as soon as we hear it."

Tan Yu took the slender and delicate whistle and said, "Okay, I remember it."

The rain had completely stopped at this time, and I guess it must have been tired.

"Then I'll go back first, Tan Yu. See you tomorrow." Liu Danqiu looked down at Tan Yu with bright eyes, and then put away the umbrella.

"Okay, Danqiu, pay attention to safety." Tan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Tan Yu looked at Liu Danqiu's retreating direction with a sullen face until he was sure that her figure had disappeared into the hazy night.

Her first move after entering was to close the door tightly and lock the bolt tightly.

Xi Zhong and Tan Yu met their eyes. The former was tired and frustrated, while the latter was heavy and thoughtful.

"Boss Xi, please, I'll take you to the house to rest first, it's cold at night."

Xi Zhong leaned his palms against the wall to use his strength to barely stand up.

He said seriously: "You don't need to call me Boss Xi. From now on, just call me Xi Zhong. Also, Tan Yu, I have something to talk to you about."

"I know. We'll talk about everything later. You talk to Jiyue first. I'll bring the food and we'll talk while we eat."

Tan Yu saw his weakness, and she stretched out her arm in front of him, "Hold it, I'm afraid you'll fall down later."

Xi Zhong glanced at Tan Yu's outstretched hand, then raised his eyes at her very sincere face.

"Okay." He put his hand on her arm.

Tan Yu helped him put the umbrella away, "Let's go then."

Xi Zhong walked very slowly, and Tan Yu followed suit and walked very slowly.

Xi Zhong was nearly a head taller than Tan Yu, and Tan Yu could clearly see the mud and dirt on his body.

He is wet all over and must be uncomfortable. If he wears wet clothes for a long time, he may get sick and it will be troublesome to see a doctor.

Tan Yu turned around.

"Old Xi...oh no, Xi Zhong, how about you take a shower and change into clean clothes first, and then we can discuss things. You and Ji Yue are about the same height, so you can wear his clothes first."

Xi Zhong followed the good deeds, but he was fed up with being wet and greasy all over his body.

"……it is good."

Tan Yu quickly filled the bathtub with hot water and handed a change of clothes, shoes and socks to Xi Zhong.

She also grabbed a handful of wolfberry and red dates and bagged them for him.

"You can eat these while you're soaking them. You're so weak now, I'm afraid you'll faint later."

When Tan Yu entered the room, Chen Jiyue was sleeping soundly.

Tan Yu's promise today made him smile even when he went to sleep.

Tan Yu looked at the direction of the bathroom and then at the master bedroom where Chen Jiyue was. She stared at the sky for a long time in the rainy night.

It wasn't until the plush obovate banyan tree flower, which was about five cents similar to the albizia flower, was fluttering in the wind and finally landed on Tan Yu Wangtian's face that she regained her wandering thoughts.

She put the banyan tree flower that had gone through ups and downs and finally settled on her body into her hair.

The sweet fragrance of banyan tree flowers penetrated Tan Yu's nose, and she instantly felt relieved.

"Cook first! Only when you are full can you have the strength to work!"

The banyan trees in the yard are already blooming, and some have even been blooming for a while.

Although they were born to be beaten by rain and wind, they did not give in easily unless the time came.

Just like the pioneer flower on Tan Yu's head that bloomed early and fell early.

Xi Zhong, who had taken off his clothes, looked even thinner. The warm water wrapped around his tired body and soaked his hair.

He took the food bag in his hand with a pull, picked out a big and round red date, and then slowly put it into his mouth.

Xi Zhong held dates in one hand and touched his belly with the other.

The jujube is red in color, and as soon as the mouth is filled with moisture, it seems that Xi Zhong's lips have really returned to their original bright red color.

He cried while eating. The tense emotions he had been feeling for so many days suddenly couldn't be controlled anymore, and he burst into tears.

Xi Yunzhi, have you really betrayed me...

Chen Jiyue, who was awakened by Tan Yu, had no time to act coquettishly to her, but was frightened by Xi Zhong who was sitting at the dinner table.

"Xi, no, teacher..."

Master...

Chen Jiyue swallowed the last word.

Tan Yuzai carefully tied the thin cloak on Chen Jiyue, "Don't be afraid Jiyue, your master has no intention of embarrassing us."

Tan Yu led Chen Jiyue, who had not yet regained consciousness, to the table.

Although Xi Zhong was temporarily depressed, his natural arrogance and overbearing spirit remained the same, and his eyebrows always had the air of a nobleman.

"Chen Jiyue, listen, I have no intention of confessing to you yet, so don't act tremblingly in front of me... As long as you don't confess me to the government."

No matter how guilty Xi Zhong felt, he didn't allow himself to reveal anything. The dagger in his arms reminded him to be alert at all times.

Chen Jiyue was really scared this time. With someone he cared about, he had a weakness. He just wanted to keep the beauty in front of him.

Chen Jiyue weakly gave Tan Yu a sad look.

Tan Yu smiled and smoothed things over, and quickly used his chopsticks to pick up the food for Chen Jiyue, "Jiyue, don't think too much, Xi Zhong's words are not malicious."

Tan Yu also used chopsticks to pick up a large piece of fried egg and gave it to Xi Zhong, who had a cold look on his face. "Xi Zhong, we understand. Now we are just grasshoppers on a rope. We depend on each other for life and death."

Xi Zhong stared at the fried eggs in the bowl without saying anything.

Chen Jiyue stared at the fried eggs in Xi Zhong's bowl and tasted them.

Tan Yu poured two more cups of milk tea for them.

"After drinking this cup of milk tea, shall we let go of our grudges? From now on, we will protect each other."

Tan Yu was used to having his way with everyone in his original world, but he didn't expect that the eloquence he had developed in the workplace would be used here.

Chen Jiyue was the first to pick up the cup of warm milk tea, "Master, although we have only known each other for more than a month, Jiyue hopes that you will be safe, healthy, and have a good life."

Xi Zhong is so smart, why can't you understand the meaning behind his words?

"I also hope I can survive this."

Xi Zhong's chest sank, and he picked up the milk tea and took a sip.

In the past, he didn't like sweet food, he only liked spicy food. Unexpectedly, it tasted so sweet in his mouth today, which was very popular with him.

Sweet.

At least for a moment it concealed the pain in his heart.

Maybe it was because they were unfamiliar with each other. During the meal, the three of them didn't speak much, only the faint sounds of picking up vegetables and eating.

Chen Jiyue secretly observed Xi Zhong's expression, and Xi Zhong also glanced at Tan and Yu opposite him from time to time.

How could Tan Yu not be aware of the fleeting glances between the two of them? This was the third time she had stayed on the opposite side for a while, and the fried egg in Xi Zhong's bowl was still intact.

Xi Zhong didn't eat it, and even moved it to the farthest position.

Tan Yu breathed slightly, feeling annoyed in his heart.

If I had known better, I would not have taken the initiative to pick up food for Xi Zhong. It seems that this piece of fried egg would have been wasted.

Although Chen Jiyue didn't know how to eat, she still ate more than usual tonight due to physical reasons.

And because Xi Zhong was opposite, he was very well-behaved today and no longer clung to Tan Yu to feed him.

Tan Yu naturally knew that Chen Jiyue was not feeling well at this moment.

While she picked out his favorite dishes for him, she gently soothed his back.

Chen Jiyue's feet also tightly hooked Tan Yu's ankles.

Let's pamper him today. In the past, for the sake of Chen Jiyue's health, she would choose food for him that he didn't like but was good for his body, but today she won't force him.

Xi Zhong, who was eating quietly, had a panoramic view of the intimate interaction between the two of them. His heart was sour, his emotions were rising, and the ends of his eyes suddenly turned red.

In order not to be noticed, he had to hide his gaffe.

He has also been held in the palm of someone's hand like this before...

Under the red curtain, the lady whispers all kinds of emotions.

Xi Zhong clenched his teeth and tried his best to suppress the hesitation in his heart.

Xi Yunzhi, why haven't you come to save me...
