A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Jiang Yi felt that her feet didn't hurt that much, but she still couldn't help but gasp when she touched the carpet.

"Miss Jiang, may I come in?" Aunt Wang knocked lightly on the door.

"Okay." I had just sent a text message to Chi Ruiche when Aunt Wang arrived.

Aunt Wang came in with a tray, having prepared Jiang Yi's favorite food as instructed by Chi Ruiche. "You can't put your feet down yet, so I'll bring you your toiletries."

"Aunt Wang, I'll just sit in my wheelchair and push you there." Jiang Yi sat in the wheelchair next to her and was pushed to the bathroom by Aunt Wang. Because the carpet was too soft, the wheelchair moved forward a little slowly.

"I'll go downstairs to eat." Jiang Yi didn't want to stay in her room for the past two days, so Aunt Wang accompanied her in the elevator and instructed the maid to reload a breakfast onto the table.

"Looks like I've arrived just in time." Abu's loud voice was a pleasant sound.

Jiang Yi gently chewed on the wontons. "Aunt Wang, make another bowl."

Abu sat down opposite Jiang Yi without ceremony. "What's so good about this bland soup?" He took a bite and pursed his lips.

Jiang Yi raised her eyes and glared at her, "Are you going to eat raw fish so early in the morning?"

Jiang Yi dislikes exactly what Abu loves to eat. The two often bicker over food, showing extreme disgust for each other's favorite foods.

"Any plans for today?" Abu picked up a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling), its broth overflowing and its aroma filling the air—just what he wanted. "These xiaolongbao are good. Pack some up for me to take home later."

"Aunt Wang, do you have any extras?" Jiang Yi rolled her eyes, but still called out.

"There's nothing ready-made. The young master said you don't like it, so he asked us to prepare less." Aunt Wang came out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

"I love to eat it, so please prepare more for me. I'll come and pick it up tomorrow." Abu smiled shamelessly and didn't forget to slip in another small steamed bun.

"Yes." Aunt Wang nodded and smiled.

"Are you coming again tomorrow?" Jiang Yi knew that Chi Ruiche had told Abu to accompany her, so he didn't need to be so attentive.

Abu ate until he was stuffed, drank a cup of green tea, and then leaned back on the sofa, looking completely at home. "I'm fine, no need to be touched. Who told me to be your third brother?"

"Can you be any more shameless? It must be because the girl from last time dumped you, and you're just bored." Jiang Yi was just as sharp-tongued, relentlessly exposing Abu's shortcomings.

"Love is like a rose, most beautiful during its freshest period." Abu grinned, his foxy eyes gleaming. "You're still young, you don't understand anything."

"I don't really want to understand you." Jiang Yi smiled mischievously, her tone playful. "Come with me to buy a watch. I want to give it to Che."

"Oh my, my little Si has finally figured it out. He knows that a good man is nurtured through tenderness." Abu's eyes narrowed into slits as he teased.

Jiang scratched his head, as if he had indeed neglected his duty. "I heard from them that in some places, when people get engaged, the man and woman exchange gifts as a token of their commitment."

"Which relationship guru guided you?"

"You can guess for yourself." Jiang Yi couldn't say that she had just overheard Li Li and Aunt Wang talking about their engagement that morning.

When Aunt Wang heard that Jiang Yi was about to go out, she said, "Then I'll ask Ji Yun to accompany you, it will be more convenient." Aunt Wang thought that they were about the same age and wouldn't feel awkward, and that it would affect the mood of the young people if she, being of such an advanced age, accompanied them.

"Aunt Wang, Yunyun said she wasn't feeling well this morning and took sick leave," Li Li whispered to Aunt Wang.

"Then you'll have to go." There were only two maids in the villa, and Li Liping was quite reliable in her work.

"Let's go." Abu pushed Jiang Yi out the door. Jiang Yi changed her shoes; the socks Chi Ruiche had prepared for her were really ugly.
