A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

"secret."

Jiang Yi released him and met his eyes. "I'm not sure if he will like me. If we fall in love someday, I'll tell you first."

"it is good."

Chi Ruiche tried his best to suppress his inner emotions; as long as she was safe and happy, that was enough.

"Che, can we keep my identity a secret for now? I want to find a suitable opportunity to tell Abu and the others." Jiang Yi wasn't sure how they would react if they knew this.

"and me."

Chi Ruiche will not put any pressure on her; he will unconditionally support any request she makes.

Jiang Yi had promised her grandfather that she would study hard, but during this time she selfishly wanted to spend more time with him, so she immediately put on a wronged look.

"Can I stay here for now? Grandpa's angry... I... I'm homeless."

"it is good."

Chi Ruiche didn't expose her lie. He selfishly wanted to spend more time with her; he was happy just to see her.

Chi Ruiche took out his phone. The commotion had gone on until late at night, and he guessed she hadn't eaten properly yet.

"Shall I take you out to eat? I'll also buy you something while I'm at it."

"Che, I left my phone in the car."

Jiang Yi's eyes darted around. "Let me borrow yours first."

"it is good."

Chi Ruiche placed the phone directly into her hand, saying, "Once the password is unlocked, it's yours."

Jiang Yi glanced at Chi Ruiche. He was deliberately making things difficult for her; who knew what kind of password he would set? She randomly entered his birthday, but it showed an error. What was she supposed to do?

Chi Ruiche looked at the kitten with growing annoyance and stopped teasing her.

"Your birthday."

Chi Ruiche leaned close to her ear and whispered.

Jiang Yi shuddered, her ears turning red instantly, though she didn't know if he did it on purpose.

"The phone is yours now."

Chi Ruiche had prepared this phone in advance, and specially installed a satellite positioning system on it, intending to give it to Jiang Yi at some time. Since she wanted it, he took this opportunity to give it to her.

Jiang Yi didn't say anything, but just looked down and fiddled with her phone, skillfully logging into the chat interface and receiving several messages.

Chi Ruiche saw that Jiang Yi had turned her back to him, as if she didn't want him to see her replying to messages, so he wisely prepared to get up.

"I'll wait for you in the parking lot."

Chi Ruiche watched the girl reply to the message very carefully, then lowered his eyes and stopped bothering her.

"Che, I'm all better."

Jiang Yi quickly replied to the message, then got up to chase after Chi Ruiche, "Let's go eat hot pot."

"it is good."

Chi Ruiche is not picky about food, but he has a picky eater like Jiang Yi. He always considers her preferences when eating, and if Jiang Yi doesn't like something, he won't touch it.

Chi Ruiche opened the car door for her and she sat in the passenger seat. Chi Ruiche helped her fasten her seatbelt, his movements were very skillful.

"Che, it seems you've done quite a few gentlemanly things."

"Little girl, you're my older brother, at least give me some face." Chi Ruiche didn't answer directly.

Jiang Yi chatted with Chi Ruiche the whole way. Chi Ruiche wasn't driving fast. They came to a newly opened hot pot restaurant that specialized in desserts. The dessert business seemed to be more popular than the hot pot business.

Jiang first queued up to get a number, but was told that there were still 9 tables ahead of him, so he could only sit and wait at the door.

Chi Ruiche parked his car and came over. He spoke to the receptionist, and a lobby manager in a black suit came out with a fawning smile.

Chi Ruiche beckoned Jiang Yi over, and couldn't help but sigh, wondering if Chi Ruiche could use his connections anywhere.

The manager led them to the private room. Jiang Yi frowned. He had originally planned to experience the atmosphere in the lobby, but he couldn't resist the presence of President Chi.

Chi Ruiche noticed that the little girl was a bit upset and asked softly.

"Wait for your brother to arrive. Come to the lobby again next time."

Jiang Yi was surprised that Chi Ruiche cared so much about her emotions and looked at him in disbelief.

The manager handed them a tablet and left the room. Jiang Yi felt very hungry and started typing away on the tablet. Chi Ruiche simply took out two bottles of milk from his pocket.

Soon the dishes were served one after another. Jiang ordered a hot pot with two broths, and he couldn't take his eyes off the red oil broth.

She can't handle spicy food, but she can't resist the craving, so every time she eats it, it's a bittersweet experience.
