A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Jiang Yi and Chi Ruiche's relationship was approved by both sets of parents, and Chi Ruiche officially took Jiang Yi home for dinner. Two months later, Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Chi carefully chose an engagement date, six days after the charity gala.

"Wow, it's so fast. It feels like things are progressing faster and faster." Jiang Yi sat in the S.unique dressing room, lost in thought, unconsciously rubbing her hands together.

Liu Shiya called her name but she didn't respond. She walked over and gently patted her shoulder, "Xiao Si?"

Jiang Yi jumped, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and turned around, "Sister Ya, what brings you here?" Her eyes were wide open.

Liu Shiya laughed, "What are you thinking about? Why such a big reaction?" She pulled up a stool and sat down next to her. All the other staff at the studio had gone home, leaving only the two of them and the security guard at the door.

"Sister Ya?" Jiang Yi didn't have any female friends, and she really wanted to ask about other people's love lives, but she swallowed the words back.

There was a knock on the door. "Xiaoya?"

"Haotian, come in. Xiaoyi is here too." Liu Shiya immediately ran over, her high heels clicking loudly on the floor, her eyes overflowing with joy.

Jiang raised an eyebrow, packed her things, and Liu Shiya's back view exuded joy; at least in this respect, they were the same.

"Xiao Si, a new buffet restaurant has opened, let's go together." Liu Shiya took Lü Haotian's arm, looking like a little bird clinging to him, but Lü Haotian looked gentle and melancholy.

"Should I be a third wheel?" Jiang Yi asked with a mischievous grin, his eyes sparkling with playfulness.

Lu Haotian, who had been pondering the question, gradually regained his composure and couldn't help but chuckle. "Let's go."

The restaurant was on the top floor of the mall. Liu Shiya had made a reservation in advance, and the waiter led them to a window seat with a clear view of the mall through the transparent glass window.

The restaurant was busy in the evening, with a long queue outside. The waiter handed them a tablet, and they could order whatever they wanted to eat directly. There was no limit to the amount they could order.

Liu Shiya ordered all her favorite dishes, and Lü Haotian wiped the tableware again and handed it to Jiang Yi, asking, "What would you like to drink?"

"I remember there's a really popular milk tea shop that opened a branch here. Let's order delivery and have it brought over." Jiang Yi ordered four cups according to everyone's taste.

The waiters pushed the food carts to each table one after another, saying, "Hello, this is steamed baby lobster." The baby lobster was cut open and served with a special garlic sauce. Before serving, it was sprinkled with some chopped green onions and drizzled with a spoonful of hot oil. It tasted very delicious.

Jiang Yi glanced at it but didn't touch it, while Liu Shiya chewed with satisfaction, her face showing deep enjoyment. Seeing that she liked it, Jiang Yi handed her his own as well.

“No need to diet, didn’t I tell you last time?” Liu Shiya took a sip of Jiang Yidian’s fruit tea, glanced at the brand, and said, “It tastes pretty good.”

Lu Haotian handed her a tablet and asked her to order again. Liu Shiya had been so focused on herself that she had ordered seafood and river fish, which were exactly the kinds of food that Jiang Yi disliked the most.

Lu Haotian elegantly took away several portions of salmon from in front of her and said calmly, "Let's order some other things to try."

Jiang Yi ordered some more of her favorite dishes. When she encountered dishes she liked, her expression changed. She chewed carefully, unconsciously raising her eyebrows. Her adorable appearance made Lü Haotian pause in picking up food.

"Xiao Si, our sales performance has been getting better and better lately. The ones you photographed are selling well, especially the wedding dress you photographed." Liu Shiya looked at her phone and showed Jiang the data analysis chart.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath, her relaxed expression revealing the joy of being recognized: "It's good that I didn't hold anyone back."

Lu Haotian calmly handed a box of sliced ​​peaches to Jiang Yi, his eyes slightly raised, a smile on his face revealing a refined and scholarly air, as if everything was under his control.

Liu Shiya ate a piece of dragon fruit that Lü Haotian had given her. "Xiao Si, have you chosen your dress for the charity gala?" Her eyes gleamed.

"Che said he chose." Jiang Yi didn't eat much, but finished all the peaches that Lü Haotian fed him. He was still staring at another box with lingering interest, looking like a little glutton. "Second brother, do you want some?"

Lu Haotian understood perfectly and took her empty box, opened another one, and then added with concern, "Eat less."

"Young Master Lü, you're really ripped off by this buffet. They have fruit platters, but you have to pay extra for them." Liu Shiya smiled, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Lu Haotian turned his head to the side and chuckled, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat dragon fruit yesterday? It looked fresh when I passed by downstairs."

"Yesterday is yesterday, never mind. It's rare that you take my words to heart." Liu Shiya's smile deepened, seemingly unconcerned, as if afraid he would notice her happiness.

Jiang stopped eating halfway through, scratched his head, and then felt an inexplicable itch behind his ear.

"Xiao Si, why are your ears so red?" Lu Haotian exclaimed, standing up and grabbing her hand that was rubbing her ears. "Your hands are red too."

Liu Shiya took out a mirror she carried with her and showed it to her. There was a large patch of red rash from her left ear down to her neck, and the area on her hand that she had just scratched was also red and swollen, which looked quite shocking.

Jiang Yi sighed helplessly, "I guess it's an allergic reaction." He pulled his hand away from Lü Haotian's and scratched it uncomfortably.

"Let's go to the hospital." Lü Haotian suddenly stood up, grabbed her handbag, and left.

Jiang Yi smiled and slapped his hand away, then calmly took another bite of the peach. "No need to make a fuss. I'll just take a pill when I get home."

Liu Shiya tugged at Lü Haotian's hand. Realizing he had been a bit out of line, Lü Haotian licked his lips and then spoke gently, "We're all better now. Allergies can be a big deal or a small deal."

“Yes, the banquet is in a couple of days, and it will affect my makeup.” Liu Shiya took the bag from Lü Haotian.

"I'm done eating. Youming is waiting for me in the parking lot. I'm off." Jiang Yi didn't want to argue with them, so she quickly grabbed the extra milk tea she had just ordered and her backpack and fled the scene. It wouldn't be good for her to be a third wheel for too long.

"Slow down." Lü Haotian suddenly sighed helplessly, his expression returning to calm as he smiled serenely. "Let's go." When they were alone, his gaze darkened slightly.

Jiang Yi was waiting for Chi Ruiche on the sofa in Dijin Blue Bay. After taking anti-allergy medicine and applying ointment, the large red rash had subsided considerably. She guessed that it was because she had accidentally touched the dragon fruit that she had this rash.

The moment the door opened, Jiang Yi jumped up from the sofa and threw herself into Chi Ruiche's arms. Chi Ruiche threw off his suit jacket, put his arm around her with one hand, and smiled, his eyes filled with undisguised affection.

Jiang Yi raised her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes, her gaze sparkling with shyness, yet a bright smile shone in her eyes. "Did you miss me?"

"I missed you." Chi Ruiche's voice was deep and pleasant. He carried her to the study with one arm, skillfully placing her on the desk. He rested one hand on it, his entire body covering her. "Why aren't you asleep so late? Didn't you read the messages I sent you?"

"I can't sleep alone." Jiang blinked, her clear black and white eyes looking innocent and charming. She tilted her head, looking just like a wronged child, but the mischievousness and cunning in her eyes betrayed her.

Chi Ruiche, however, was easily swayed by this, his slightly furrowed brows filled with worry. "Next time I will try to come back as early as possible."

"Che, do I have to be so careful when I'm with you?" Jiang Yi stared at him, her eyes filled with barely perceptible hurt. She felt that Chi Ruiche was always protecting her carefully. It wasn't that this was bad, but rather that she was afraid he would get too tired.

Chi Ruiche buried his head in her neck, the faint smell of medicine wafting into his nostrils. He looked up and scanned her several times before finally fixing his gaze on her face, staring at her silently. Jiang Yi felt a chill run down her spine.

"I brought you milk tea, it's pretty good, I'll go get it." Jiang Yi pushed him away, trying to break free from his hold.

"You had an allergic reaction and didn't even tell me?" Chi Ruiche tapped Jiang Yi's head and turned on the light in the room with complicated emotions.

"He's already taken his medicine and will be down in a bit." Jiang said tactfully, poking open the milk tea and habitually feeding Chi Ruiche a sip.

"The little one has grown up and knows to wait for me now."

Chi Ruiche stubbornly applied the ointment again for her and ordered her to eat light meals for the next few days.

"So, I've grown up, and I don't want to treat you like a child anymore."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Chi Ruiche tried to relax his expression so that she wouldn't notice anything amiss.
