Chapter 369 I like you
Back at Hu Guanglie's house, Chen Wei handed the herbs to him to crush, then brewed them into a cup of green water, which he then presented to Su Yumeng.

"I drank it." Su Yumeng leaned closer to smell it, her brow furrowed, and her expression turned disgusted. She tentatively asked, "Can't you not drink it?"

"Okay, let's be siblings again in our next life," Chen Wei said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

In the next life...

"..." Su Yumeng.

Holding the blanket in one hand and pinching her nose with the other, Su Yumeng closed her eyes tightly, tilted her head back, and gulped down the entire mouthful of water.

I almost threw up; the taste was incredibly pungent and bitter.

"Do you have any candy?" Su Yumeng put the cup on the table, stuck out her tongue, and asked excitedly.

"This is all we have." Hu Guanglie seemed to have anticipated Su Yumeng's question. He lifted the curtain and slammed a plastic bag onto the table.

"What is this?" Su Yumeng looked at Hu Guanglie in confusion.

"Rock candy." After saying that, Hu Guanglie walked to the side and lit a cigarette.

crystal sugar……

The rock candy in Su Yumeng's memory should be smaller than this.

This should be called Sugar Mountain, right?

Something is better than nothing. I tore off the plastic bag stuck to it and hugged it, which gave me a bit of the feeling of a kitten licking water.

"Well, sir, it's getting late, so we won't bother you any longer." The poison has been neutralized now, and as for the ring on Su Yumeng's hand? There are plenty of ways to remove it when we get back.

Hu Guanglie waved his hand, saying nothing more.

Leave the Hu family.

On the mountain, Su Yumeng was licking.

On the way, Su Yumeng was licking.

At the foot of the mountain, Su Yumeng was still licking.

"Don't you get tired of licking like that?" Chen Wei asked, genuinely curious.

"It's unbearably bitter if you don't lick it, and this candy isn't sweet at all. You can lick it and see for yourself if you don't believe me," Su Yumeng said, handing it out with both hands.

"Hey! Move it a bit, it's covered in drool. Do you really think I'm that desperate?" Chen Wei leaned back, looking disgusted.

"Tch." Su Yumeng sat in the passenger seat and continued licking, her tongue already feeling numb.

Continue being a heartless licker!
"Xiaowei, where are we going now? Should we go straight home?" Su Qingyue suddenly asked Chen Wei for his opinion.

"Well, it's getting late. Let's go back first. We can talk about it after dawn," Chen Wei said confidently.

"it is good."

……

When the car drove back to the villa, Su Yumeng was already asleep, clutching a tiny piece of rock candy.

Opening the passenger door, Chen Wei couldn't help but admire the rock candy that Su Yumeng had licked away two-thirds of.

He moved it aside and reached out to pick up Su Yumeng.

"Sis, go to sleep, I'll take care of things here." Chen Wei said, pressing his butt against the car door and meeting Su Qingyue's gaze.

"Okay, then you should go to bed early too." Su Qingyue went into the villa first.

third floor.

Chen Wei carefully placed Su Yumeng on the bed, covered her with the blanket, and returned to his own room. After all the commotion, he was exhausted.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The phone suddenly rang.

I glanced at the time; it was already 2 PM.

The caller was Wang Jia. Chen Wei sat up, groggily asking, "Hello, what's up?"

"Mr. Chen, do you have time today?" Wang Jia asked, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

"I do have time. What's wrong? Is the company providing..."

Chen Wei abruptly stopped mid-sentence.

Considering it was the weekend, I could roughly guess why Wang Jia had called.

"If you don't show up soon, I feel like the show 'The Voice of China' is going to be ruined." In fact, Chen Wei has already missed several episodes, and Lin Qiuyue and the others simply can't keep up.

After learning that Chen Wei was absent due to unforeseen circumstances, fans expressed their understanding, but the viewership ratings visibly dropped sharply.

It dropped by a full three-fifths! And there's not a single sign of recovery. How could Wang Jia possibly withstand the pressure?
If Chen Wei is still unable to attend today, Wang Jia is already considering whether to suspend the program and restart the project when Chen Wei has time.

We must avoid compromising quality when there is a shortage of talent, and at least not ruin the reputation and goodwill that Da Xia has built up.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there today," Chen Wei assured Wang Jia.

"Then it's a deal!" If she weren't not by Chen Wei's side, Wang Jia would definitely have made some kind of promise with him, like a pinky promise that would last a hundred years.
That way, I can feel a little more at ease.

"Okay, if I breach this contract, my popularity will plummet by half. That's a pretty harsh oath, isn't it?"

"No!" Wang Jia smiled helplessly. "In that case, it would have been better not to come at all. Alright, Mr. Chen, you can continue sleeping. I won't disturb you."

She could tell that Chen Wei sounded very tired on the phone, as if he might collapse at any moment.

"Okay, sure." Just as Wang Jia had expected, Chen Wei had already fallen asleep on the bed before she even hung up the phone.

Wang Jia thought she should call Chen Wei an hour in advance so he wouldn't oversleep and miss the show.

Just as she was about to put down her phone and hang up, she heard a knocking sound.

pat!

"Was that the sound of the door opening?" Wang Jia was taken aback, her curiosity overflowing, and she momentarily forgot to hang up the phone.

"Brother, are you still awake?"

elder brother?
The voice sounded familiar to Wang Jia; she felt like she had heard it somewhere before.

It seems her name is Su Yumeng. Compared to this name, Wang Jia remembers Su Yumeng's live stream ID more vividly: "Cai Bu Shi Ao Jiao" (才不是傲娇).

The name itself is pretty arrogant, okay...

Wang Jia really wanted to complain.

"Brother, I know you're still awake, stop pretending."

"What exactly is this girl trying to do by beating around the bush?" The phone was right next to Chen Wei, so Chen Wei and Wang Jia could hear it clearly.

"Are you really asleep?"

"If you dare to pretend to be asleep, I can draw a turtle on your face with a pen!"

My dear aunt, how could you do that to her face?

If it weren't for the joking tone, Wang Jia probably would have lost control and screamed.

Chen Wei's terrifyingly high fan base was undoubtedly due to his stunning good looks. She didn't believe Su Yumeng could bring herself to do it; if anything unexpected happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If those fans knew that Chen Wei's face was ruined by Su Yumeng, they would probably kill her to the ends of the earth, and grind her bones to dust.

"Brother, there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time, something I've had for a long time..."

Eh!
Wang Jia was taken aback. The rhythm and the words seemed familiar, as if she had heard them somewhere before.

If you think about it, it happens in many romantic movies: while the male lead is sleeping, the shy and inarticulate female lead secretly whispers in his ear, "I like you."

Probably not?
Aren't they brother and sister?
Wang Jia felt that she must be overthinking things, she must be!

Just as she was about to hang up, she accidentally pressed the speakerphone button and said, "I like you."
