A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

"Che!" Jiang Yi's gaze remained fixed on him. He had become more composed and mature, and his eagle eyes were intimidating.

Jiang Yi has called Chi Ruiche this since she was a child. At first, it was because she found the name Chi Ruiche difficult to pronounce when she first returned to China, but over time it became her exclusive name.

They hadn't seen each other for the past three years, and whenever they finally managed to arrange a time, other things would always get in the way.

Jiang Yi knew he was busy, busy expanding their influence.

When she saw him again, he had grown up. She didn't even dare to hug him first, for fear that the intimacy of their youth had faded.

Chi Ruiche withdrew his gaze, went straight over and pulled Jiang Yi into his arms, "Little Si!" His tone was full of joy at the long-awaited reunion.

At that moment, their friendship remained unchanged.

That night, the four of them seemed to have returned to three years ago, drinking and talking about the changes they had experienced over the years.

Compared to them, my own changes seem insignificant. After returning to New Zealand, my days consisted of nothing but school, hand rehabilitation, and the classes arranged by my grandfather—all tedious and boring.

Under her grandfather's protection, she didn't have to worry about anything else. Jiang Yang would occasionally pass on information to her, letting her know about the situation in Xijing.

Abu, slightly tipsy from drinking quite a bit, laughed and talked about life: "Little Fourth, you have no idea, in the three years you've been gone, my luck with women could stretch all the way to the entrance of the neighborhood. Impressive, right!" Abu called out to her smugly, remembering how Jiang Yi had always mocked him for having no luck with women.

Because apart from Jiang Yang, everyone else was pestered by Jiang Yi to become sworn brothers. Chi Ruiche was the eldest, Lü Er was the second, and Jiang Yi was the youngest, so they also liked to call him Xiao Si (Little Fourth).

Over the past three years, their elders have given them full trust and support, and Chi Ruiche has become President Chi, the highest decision-maker of the Chi Group.

Although Lü Haotian was not the first heir of the Lü family, he made great strides in the business world after following Chi Ruiche and secured a place for himself in the Lü family.

Abu doesn't own businesses at home; he owns many companies, including a media company that has made him very wealthy.

The four reminisced about their youth, and before they knew it, it was already past midnight. Upon learning that Jiang Yi was not returning to New Zealand, Haotian and the others felt relieved and went back to sleep.

Jiang Yang glanced at Jiang Yi before leaving, then departed with a helpless expression.

"Xiao Si." After they left, Chi Ruiche hugged Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi, who was still a little drunk, became much more sober and relaxed, leaning her head against him.

"Does it hurt?" Chi Ruiche had been watching her all night. She had been using her left hand, only slightly raising her right. He knew that Jiang Yi's injuries back then had been too severe, and the doctor had given the worst possible outcome.

“It’s all over now, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” Ever since Chi Ruiche appeared in her world, he has always doted on her. “I’ve been doing rehabilitation for the past three years, but I’ve gotten used to my left hand.”

"Little Si, don't leave again once you're back. I'll take care of you." Chi Ruiche's deep voice pierced through his body and struck the depths of his heart.

At that time, Chi Ruiche was 21 years old, and she was only 14. Jiang Yi liked to laze around and say she wanted to be a freeloader. Everyone else laughed at him for not being ambitious, but Chi Ruiche just smiled and said, "Okay, I'll support you."

No matter what conditions Jiang Yi proposed, Chi Ruiche would meet them unconditionally.

Memories flooded back, and Che felt a warm, sweet feeling well up inside him as he kept his promise. He wished it could always stay this way; she would always be his child, clinging to him.

"Go and rest." Chi Ruiche wrapped his arms around her waist, and Jiang Yi froze, her body trembling and unable to move.

"The ground is too messy. You've had quite a bit to drink, so don't slip and fall."

"I'll take a shower first. If you're still sleepy, you can go to sleep. If you want to take a shower, put on my clothes first," Chi Ruiche asked for her opinion. Jiang Yi knew she reeked of alcohol and felt really uncomfortable.

"You go first." Jiang Yi actually stayed behind on purpose, wanting to spend more time with Chi Ruiche. Jiang Yang didn't have a house outside and went home every day.

Although a hotel had been booked for her long ago, she didn't want to go; secondly, she had sneaked back while her grandfather was away from the country, and given his abilities, he would definitely find out soon, so it would be safer for her to stay with Chi Ruiche. "Where are you sleeping tonight?"

"What do you think?" Chi Ruiche said matter-of-factly, taking a new towel out of the closet.

"You only have one bedroom in your house?" Jiang Yiqiang asked, feigning composure.

“When you were little, you loved to cling to me and sleep with me the most.” Chi Ruiche looked at her naturally, completely unaware of Jiang Yi’s inner panic.

Chi Ruiche took out a new set of pajamas for her, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Jiang Yi was wide awake now. She wanted to spend more time with him, but she had no intention of sharing a bed. It didn't matter when she was younger, but now that she was a grown woman, she didn't care about the boundaries between men and women.

Chi Ruiche finished washing quickly, dried his hair with a towel, which was still a little damp, with a few drops of water running down his stray hairs.

Jiang Yi hurriedly ran into the bathroom and quickly washed herself, but tightened the bra bandage around her chest even more. Now she needs to wear a bra bandage when she's out, otherwise her feminine features will be too obvious.

Jiang Yi tried on the clothes. Chi Ruiche was taller than her, so she could wear just a top.

"Che, are you asleep?"
