A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Jiang Yi got tired of standing, so she squatted down and leaned against the corner of the wall, glancing at the elevator every now and then. She wasn't sure what time she would have to wait; Chi Ruiche might be in a meeting and it would be late.

But she wanted to be the first to see him and tell him.

I should have gone directly to the company; that was a mistake.

Chi Ruiche called Jiang Yi, but her phone was off. He tried contacting Jiang Yang and the others, but she didn't show up.

Chi Ruiche loosened his tie. "Let's go home." His intuition told him that Jiang Yi was waiting for him.

Chi Ruiche had never felt that the elevator ride to the fourth floor would take so long. The moment the elevator doors opened, Chi Ruiche saw Jiang Yi huddled in the corner.

Their eyes met, and Jiang stood up with anticipation in her eyes. Her legs were a little numb from squatting for so long. Chi Ruiche ran over to her faster.

Chi Ruiche helped Jiang Yi into the room and sat her on the sofa. He then took out a piece of cheesecake and a glass of milk from the refrigerator.

Jiang touched his stomach; he was indeed hungry. Without restraint, he tasted it. The flavor was somewhat familiar, so he took another bite carefully.

"This tastes just like the place we used to love."

I used to love going to a dessert shop with Chi Rui-che, and we both loved their cheesecake.

You might not believe it, but this aloof young man's favorite food is cheesecake.

"Just eat if you like."

Chi Ruiche's love for cheesecake is unknown to anyone except Jiang Yi. His grandfather taught him from a young age to hide his likes and dislikes and have no weaknesses so that no one can take advantage of him.

"Che, you still love cheesecake as much as ever."

Jiang Yi was also a little hungry, so she scooped out a large spoonful and put it in her mouth, unable to hide her delighted expression.

"Xiao Yi, you said you'd tell me what you need when you come back." Chi Ruiche stared at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi's hand stiffened as she scooped up another spoonful, but she pretended to be calm and finished the last bite. She put down the spoon, not daring to look at Chi Ruiche, and whispered.

"Actually, I... I wanted to say..."

Jiang Yi tried her best to control herself, but she was still very nervous. She was unsure what the consequences would be if she spoke out.

Chi Ruiche looked at her, and Jiang Yi repeatedly rubbed the gold bracelet on her hand. Her fingers would fidget when she was nervous.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath and met Chi Ruiche's gaze.

"Che, I'm actually a girl."

Although Chi Ruiche knew it beforehand, it was different when Jiang Yi said it in person.

Seeing that Chi Ruiche was staring at him expressionlessly, Jiang Yi thought he was angry and quickly explained.

"I didn't mean to deceive you, it's just..."

Chi Ruiche watched intently, while Jiang Yi kept her head down, completely unaware of the surprise, or rather, the joy, in Chi Ruiche's eyes.

Jiang Yi didn't know how to start the conversation. She wasn't sure if Che would be angry, so she waited quietly.

"Whether you're a boy or a girl, you are Jiang Yi, my Xiao Si."

Chi Ruiche reached out and touched her hair, his eyes filled with love.

Jiang Yi looked up and met his eyes, her eyes shining. Upon hearing his words, she threw herself into his arms and whispered softly.

"Che, there's someone I've always liked, and I really want to tell him."

Chi Ruiche was shocked by her words. His stiff body was held by her. He had fantasized about what it would be like if Xiao Yi were a girl. He thought she would have someone she liked and would continue to act coquettishly with him like a little sister.

But when I actually heard those words, a bitter feeling welled up inside me.

Chi Ruiche tried his best to suppress his disappointment, but still asked her gently.

"who is it?"

Jiang Yi knew that Chi Ruiche would not know how to answer him after hearing this.

She flinched.
