A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

The next day, Zhao Mingyang checked her again. "The fever has subsided. We'll take her to the hospital for a thorough check-up once she wakes up."

"it is good."

Jiang Yi's breathing gradually deepened, and she involuntarily gripped the sheets tightly. She suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

"Yiyi, drink some water." Chi Ruiche helped her lean against the bed and fed her a sip of water, which moistened her dry lips.

Jiang Yi's face was expressionless, and her eyes were devoid of any light. At this moment, she was like a soulless puppet, listless and lifeless.

"The worst has happened." Zhao Mingyang made a phone call to someone who was on standby at the hospital.

Chi Ruiche then carried Jiang Yi and drove to the hospital.

After a series of detailed examinations, Zhao Mingyang and another doctor entered the ward with the report.

"She's isolating herself from the outside world as a form of self-protection. We just had the nurse give her some medication in hopes of alleviating her anxiety."

How long will this situation last?

“For mild cases, it takes about a month,” Zhao Mingyang said, then trailed off. “If it’s severe, it will take longer.”

"Will the medicine affect her? She was allergic to the medicine she took before." Chi Ruiche took out the medicine bottle she had taken before.

"Have you been planning to conceive recently? If you want a child, please wait three months after stopping the medication before considering it," Zhao Mingyang said, maintaining his professional demeanor.

"It will be better in a month, right?" Chi Ruiche frowned, his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force, and he was filled with worry and self-blame.

"You should stay with her. She needs your company right now. It will be very good for her treatment."

After Zhao Mingyang left, Chi Ruiche suddenly lost control and slapped himself hard across the face, his eyes filled with self-blame and worry.

After receiving the text message, Jiang Yang rushed to the hospital. Chi Ruiche was feeding Jiang Yi, who still had an IV drip in her hand, and did not react to Jiang Yang's arrival.

"Xiao Yi?" Jiang Yang waved his hand in front of her eyes, wanting to touch her hand, but Jiang Yi instinctively avoided it.

“I’ll take her back to my place. I’ve finished my work recently, and it would be more convenient if Ruozhi could help me take care of her.” Jiang Yang was also thinking about what reason to give without his grandfather finding out.

Jiang Yi hooked her arm around Chi Ruiche and moved closer to him.

“I’ll take care of her. You help me keep it a secret from Grandpa Jiang and Aunt Jiang. Xiao Yi doesn’t want them to worry either.” Chi Ruiche wiped her face.

"Alright, what did the doctor say?" Jiang Yang sighed.

“Her self-protective instincts make her refuse to have contact with the outside world.” Chi Ruiche’s eyes darted around, as if he was avoiding something. “This time, I want to be with her.”

Ten days later, in the evening, Chi Ruiche led her to sit in his garden. The setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them, creating a peaceful and beautiful scene.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves; the September weather was so pleasant.

“Che”.

Chi Ruiche smiled, and Jiang Yi smiled back. His broad palm enveloped hers, as if it were the most beautiful harmony in the world. Hands and hearts were pressed together, and the silence was the happiest moment.

After that day, Jiang Yi gradually returned to normal, and Chi Ruiche was pleasantly surprised by her improvement. However, the two tacitly avoided mentioning what happened that day. Chi Ruiche took her to the company every day and politely declined many drinking invitations. The two of them going to and from get off work together became a beautiful sight in Chengqing.

Jiang Yi, concerned about the delays in filming S.unique, contacted Liu Shiya to reschedule their work.

"Xiao Si, your second brother said you haven't been feeling well lately, have you recovered?" Liu Shiya didn't see Jiang Yi when she went to the hotel that day, and later Lü Haotian brought a new model to temporarily take the photos.

"I'm sorry, Sister Ya, I've delayed the work progress." Jiang Yi scratched her head apologetically. She wasn't stupid; Liu Shiya had only taken care of her out of consideration for them.

"This afternoon, we're working on the last piece from the wedding dress series. We tried on several different pieces, but I didn't feel they were quite right. Would you like to try it on?" Liu Shiya asked.

“Okay.” Jiang Yi pondered how to explain to Chi Ruiche that he had been taking such good care of her lately, like a fragile crystal ball, afraid of causing her any harm. Beneath that calm and gentle surface lay a turbulent undercurrent.

In fact, during those few days, Jiang Yi's mind was in a mess. She didn't know what to do. She could hear every word Chi Ruiche said. She wanted to respond, but it felt like she was being covered by countless hands, unable to speak.

Chi Ruiche seeped in like spring rain, and those invisible hands slowly melted away, bringing her back to life once more.

"Let's eat. There will be peaches after lunch." Chi Ruiche took the insulated bag that Uncle Wang brought over; it contained lunch that Aunt Wang had prepared. Chi Ruiche always brought Jiang Yi to the company when he needed to work.

"Yi Yi?" Jiang Yi was a little distracted, while Chi Ruiche became nervous.

"Yi-yi?" he called out again, uncertainly.

"Che, I want to go to the studio after dinner." Jiang Yi smiled, forked a piece of peach and fed it to Chi Ruiche, coaxing him softly.

"A few sets of clothes." Chi Ruiche breathed a sigh of relief, put his arm around her waist and let her sit on his lap, then ruffled her hair.

"A set." Jiang Yi's eyes lit up.

"I'm free this afternoon, I'll go with you," Chi Ruiche texted Lin Kai Abu.

"Okay." If he agrees, that's fine; he's never seen himself under the flash before his eyes anyway.

"Grandpa invited my second uncle and aunt to dinner tonight. Everyone will be going home. Would you like to stay with me?" After dinner, I rested for a while and then drove away from Chengqing.

"As her boyfriend?" Jiang Yi lay on his lap. Chi Ruiche's words were concise and powerful, and his expression was serious and earnest.

"Mmm." Jiang blinked, staring intently at him. Her large eyes were smiling and charming, and her rosy, sensual lips seemed to beckon for a kiss.

Chi Ruiche bent down to steady her nose, then bent his arm slightly around her neck and pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Yi pressed her lips to his, a sweet smile on her flushed face. After a light taste, a hint of sweetness reached her tongue. "It tastes sweet in my mouth?"

"Is it good?" Chi Ruiche's tone was extremely ambiguous.

"Huh?" Jiang Yi hadn't smelled tobacco on him lately. "You quit smoking?"

"As you get older, you need to take care of your health," Chi Ruiche said, referring to something perfectly normal.

"Eating candy?" Some people choose to distract themselves during the process of quitting smoking; some eat sunflower seeds. If Chi Ruiche were to eat sunflower seeds, the scene would be somewhat comically cute.

A smug smile crept across Jiang Yi's face. Chi Ruiche pinched her cheek and asked, "What flavor of candy do you like?"

"Peach flavor." Jiang Yi blurted out without thinking, then realized what she meant and blushed.

Chi Ruiche took a pink candy from his pocket, opened the wrapper with one hand, and put the candy into his mouth with his slender fingertips. Jiang Yi felt as if she were being drawn in by magic.

Chi Ruiche held her slender waist tightly, his passionate kisses growing even more intense until she clung to him softly like a kitten. He then softened his grip and fed her candy.

"Peach flavor." Chi Ruiche's fingers rubbed her burning cheeks, his voice low and husky, a hint of excitement in his eyes as he gazed at her.
