When Tao Jiuxi woke up, the sunlight outside was already slanting into the cabin. It was already afternoon.

She stretched, rubbed her eyes, and got up sleepily.

When she went to find Shen Zhiyi again, Shen Zhiyi was still in the study.

"Second Miss, you are finally here."

Jiang Shun at the door saw Tao Jiuxi and a hint of joy appeared on his face as if he had seen a savior.

"What's wrong?" Tao Jiuxi looked at him puzzledly, not knowing what had happened.

"The master hasn't come out yet. No lunch has been served." Jiang Shun said with a worried look on his face.

"Then wait for me to learn, and I'll show you my skills." Tao Jiuxi smiled confidently, turned around and ran to the kitchen.

Although the ingredients in the kitchen were limited, she still relied on her cooking skills to carefully make a sweet soup with the existing ingredients. The sweet soup was attractive in color and fragrant.

When Tao Jiuxi went to find Shen Zhiyi again with the sweet soup, Jiang Shun no longer stopped her.

Although Shen Zhiyi's order remained unchanged, Jiang Shun couldn't bear to see his master sulking like this. He knew Tao Jiuxi's arrival might make his master feel better, so he quietly made way.

The study was filled with a faint scent of ink. Shen Zhiyi was sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were a little empty, as if he was thinking about something.

Tao Jiuxi winked at Jiang Shun, who understood and gently closed the door, giving the two of them some private space.

Tao Jiuxi held the sweet soup and slowly walked to Shen Zhiyi's desk, gently placing the sweet soup on it.

Then, she tiptoed behind Shen Zhiyi, lowered her voice, and whispered in his ear, "Ayi, what are you looking at?"

Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, with a hint of coquettishness.

However, Shen Zhiyi acted as if he didn't hear her words, and continued to turn a deaf ear to her. He just focused on the book in his hand, without any fluctuation in his eyes.

Seeing this, Tao Jiuxi frowned slightly. She gently hugged Shen Zhiyi's neck from behind and said affectionately: "I know I was wrong. But the situation was urgent at the time, and I couldn't just stand by and watch someone die."

Only then did Shen Zhiyi put down the book in his hand. Tao Jiuxi was delighted, thinking that he had forgiven him.

But unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyi reached out and pushed her hand away.

Tao Jiuxi's eyes dimmed instantly, and her heart was filled with helplessness.

"Are you really ignoring me?"

Seeing that Shen Zhiyi still didn't respond, Tao Jiuxi made up her mind. She slipped under Shen Zhiyi's arm and between the gap of the table and into Shen Zhiyi's arms.

Without saying a word, she kissed Shen Zhiyi on the lips.

This posture made her extremely uncomfortable and she couldn't straighten her waist, but she still climbed onto Shen Zhiyi's neck with both hands and kissed him hard.

There was a hint of surprise and panic in Shen Zhiyi's eyes, as if he had not expected Tao Jiuxi to do such a thing.

He subconsciously wanted to push Tao Jiuxi away.

After just a slight touch, Tao Jiuxi lost his balance and his body swayed.

Seeing this, Shen Zhiyi felt a tightness in his heart, and he could only quickly hug her from behind, with his hands tightly around her waist, for fear that she would fall.

At this time, the two of them were almost stuck together. Tao Jiuxi was breathing slightly, and she simply sat directly on Shen Zhiyi's legs and put her head on Shen Zhiyi's shoulder. Her hair brushed against Shen Zhiyi's neck, bringing a slightly itchy feeling.

"Ayi, I know that what I did was wrong, but I have no better way to save him, and I can't do it. There may be hope of saving him, but he will die in front of me." Tao Jiuxi's voice was filled with a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

Shen Zhiyi listened to her words, then pushed Tao Jiuxi away, put his hands on her shoulders, looked into her eyes seriously, with a hint of stubbornness and domineering in his eyes: "You are mine, so you should not have any contact with others."

His tone was full of possessiveness, as if Tao Jiuxi could only belong to him.

"I am yours, but I am also my own. You like me, and you must like the original me. But the original me has many shortcomings that you cannot accept. What should I do?" Tao Jiuxi raised his head and looked at Shen Zhiyi with firm eyes.

Her heart was full of contradictions. She wanted to say that the two of them had different living environments and received different education, which led to their current disagreement, but she couldn't tell Shen Zhiyi about her time travel.

She was afraid that Shen Zhiyi would think of her as a monster and that she would lose him. Tao Jiuxi didn't know how to solve this problem and could only look at Shen Zhiyi silently, hoping that he could understand her.

"Tao Jiuxi, do you really like me in your heart?" Shen Zhiyi looked at Tao Jiuxi with burning eyes.

"I like you. Besides my elder sister, you are the third person I like here." Tao Jiuxi raised his head slightly, looked into Shen Zhiyi's eyes, and said seriously.

"What about the second one?" Shen Zhiyi's voice was filled with anxiety.

"Myself," Tao Jiuxi replied. She knew she was selfish, but in this world, she had to learn to love herself first before she could love others better.

"Tao Jiuxi, what should I do with you?" Shen Zhiyi sighed helplessly. He hugged Tao Jiuxi tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

His arms were wrapped around her tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go.

He could not accept some of Tao Jiuxi's behaviors, but he could not accept being separated from Tao Jiuxi even more. Even if he just thought about it, his heart felt like it was torn apart.

Tao Jiuxi also hugged Shen Zhiyi tightly back. She could feel Shen Zhiyi's heartbeat, and the strong heartbeat made her feel extremely at ease.

"You have changed a lot for me, and I will work hard for you. If one day you no longer like me, can you tell me the first time?" Tao Jiuxi's voice trembled a little, and tears flashed in her eyes. She was afraid of losing Shen Zhiyi, afraid that one day he would leave her.

"Tell you what will happen to you?"

Shen Zhiyi's heart trembled. He thought Tao Jiuxi wanted to break up again. Just thinking about it made his heart feel like it was being pierced by countless needles.

"Then I will do everything I can to make you fall in love with me again. I don't want to be separated from you, not in this life."

When Shen Zhiyi heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart. Tao Jiuxi did not say anything to hurt him, he just hugged the person in his arms tighter.

"Ayi, in order to prevent today's incident from happening again, can you please give the method of saving people to Jiang Shun? If this happens again in the future, it can be properly resolved, okay?" Tao Jiuxi blinked and looked at Shen Zhiyi seriously.

"How to teach?" Shen Zhiyi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Tao Jiuxi, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"You be my rescue target, and I will teach you what cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration are." Tao Jiuxi said excitedly, and then he couldn't wait to demonstrate on Shen Zhiyi.

She carefully pointed to the area to be pressed and explained earnestly: "This is the location of the heart. When pressing, pay attention to the strength and rhythm. It should not be too light or too heavy."

Then, she began to demonstrate artificial respiration. However, during this process, she always teased Shen Zhiyi unintentionally, almost making Shen Zhiyi lose his composure.

only.....

Whenever Jiang Shun recalled that day, he often felt like crying.

He never thought that he would experience such a thing.

He...he lost his first kiss...and it was with a man!

Whenever he thought of this, Jiang Shun felt depressed, as if there was a dark cloud covering his heart, which could not be shaken off, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
