Lan Yibai continued, “Quickly, have the kitchen staff bring some ginger soup over. Get rid of the cold first. Don’t get sick like last time.” She thought that if she was driving, she would not get wet no matter what.

Cen Shuang smiled and nodded. Then, she carried the two little puppies out of the car. “Mom, do you think they’re cute?”

The girl’s innocent smile was especially dazzling under the light. Lan Yibai looked at the two dirty little dogs in her arms and was stunned. She could not have done this to herself because of these two little dogs, right?!

Lan Yibai smiled. “They’re cute. give them to me. Hurry up and go upstairs to take a shower.” She got someone to take the two little dogs over and pushed Cen Shuang upstairs so she could change out of her wet clothes.

In the room, Zhuang Hong was lying quietly on the bed. He seemed to be sleeping soundly. Cen Shuang turned on the lights in the room and glared at the man on the bed when she picked up her clothes. “Stop pretending, It’s not mom.”

The man on the bed opened his eyes as she expected he would. He only managed to catch a glimpse of the figure that flashed past the bathroom door. Then, he turned to look at the night sky outside the window. It was still raining outside. She actually came back despite the heavy rain!

Cen Shuang took a shower and put on a bathrobe. She asked, “What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it up later. Oh right, I’ll leave some food in the room in the future. Even if I come back late, you won’t be hungry.”

Zhuang Hong’s gaze swept over her dripping long hair. “You don’t have to come back in such heavy rain.”

He was at his own home. No matter what, he would not be hungry. Moreover, he could call Boyan over if he really needed help.

Cen Shuang said, “I had some things to do at the university today, so I left late. You didn’t eat during the day, so if I didn’t come back tonight, I thought you would be hungry for a long time.”

Although she was well-dressed and well-fed, she had quarreled with her parents when she was young. She had done something stupid like going on a hunger strike, so she knew very well that it was not a good feeling to be hungry.

Zhuang Hong’s deep voice had a hint of insincerity. “You rushed back for me?”

Cen Shuang replied, “Of course. Is there anything else that I need to worry about when it comes to your family?”

According to Lan Yibai’s instructions, her responsibilities included taking care of Zhuang Hong . She had to take good care of him and think of everything that he might need. Besides, she did not need to worry about cooking.

Zhuang Hong sat up from the bed and waved at her. “Come here.”

Cen Shuang asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to fetch a basin of water?”

Since Zhuang Hong had woken up, he did not need Cen Shuang to sponge him anymore, so she could save herself a lot of trouble. Cen Shuang walked over obediently and he pulled her to him before she could even steady herself.

She almost instinctively wanted to break his arm, but after thinking about it, she realized that Zhuang Hong’s weak body could not withstand her torture. She held still and allowed him to pull her over, falling onto the bed.

Her head was immediately covered by a towel. It was blocking her vision. A pair of gentle hands covered the top of her head and fingertips gently dried her hair with the towel.

Zhuang Hong’s voice came from beside her ear. “You don’t dry your hair after showering. This is not a good habit.”

Cen Shuang whispered, “You don’t have to dry it. It can dry itself.” Perhaps it was because the temperature in the room was too high, but her face felt hot.

Even her heart was beating uncontrollably. The bed under her felt like a red-hot iron plate, making her uneasy. Why was she so nervous?

Zhuang Hong’s fingertips gently ran through her hair, allowing it to wrap around his fingers.

Zhuang Hong gently reminded her, “If you have anything to do in the future, you can call home. There’s no need to rush back so late.”

His deep voice sounded behind her head. Cen Shuang sat upright with a flushed face. Her fingertips tightened the bathrobe on her body as she replied faintly, “Okay, then I’ll call you if I need anything in the future.”

Cen Shuang was so nervous that she almost forgot. This was the first time she had been this close to a man. She could even smell the scent of his skin. He smelled like her body wash.

Cen Shuang looked at the two figures reflected on the glass window and her lips slowly curved up in a smile. For a moment, she felt that the two of them were like the perfect couple.

Cen Shuang had been drenched in the rain. At midnight, she felt a slight pain coming from the wound on her back. Her face was as pale as if she had lost blood.

In the darkness, she carefully touched the man’s hand and held it tightly. Her voice sounded aggrieved. “Zhuang Hong, I’m in pain.”

Just as she finished speaking, the crystal light in the room shone on her face. The sudden light pierced her eyes and she could not help but squint. She pressed her face against the back of his hand.

She asked in a hoarse voice, “Zhuang Hong, am I going to die soon?”

Ever since the Cen family went bankrupt, she felt that she had lived too unjustly. Sometimes, she felt that she might as well die. However, she was actually afraid of really dying…
