When Pu Xi had almost finished eating, Qi Nian took Pu Xi's hand, and Pu Xi looked at Qi Nian in confusion.

"almost."

Since Qi Nian had said so, she had no choice but to stop, even though she still really wanted to eat.

These fried skewers taste really good, it's just that the heat isn't quite right, but the flavor is amazing, so you can overlook those little details.

Pu Xi's mouth watered at the thought of the fried skewers.

"I'll pay the bill."

"it is good."

Pu Xi looked at the few remaining fried skewers and still really wanted to eat them. How could they taste so delicious and addictive?

Addiction?

After Qi Nian returned, Pu Xi suppressed her earlier questions and packed her things.

"Let's go."

"it is good."

Qi Nian naturally took Pu Xi's bag, and the two left the fried food stall together.

Luxury cars carrying prayers were parked on the street outside the store.

"Xixi, weren't those fried skewers delicious? I want more after I eat them."

Pu Xi nodded: "Mm."

No way, there's really medicine in it?

"The seasoning for fried skewers contains some medicinal ingredients that can be addictive."

"what?"

She ate so much just now, could she have already become addicted?

"The quantity is not large, and you'll get tired of it after a few meals, but you'll crave it again if you don't eat it for a while, so it's not illegal."

That's good. She thought she would be addicted to it.

Qi Nian can tell there's medicine in the fried skewers just by taking one bite. That's amazing. Well, he is an authority in this field.

Pu Xi watched as Qi Nian fastened her seatbelt: "Why is Boss Qi in S City?" She didn't think Qi Nian had come specifically to find her.

Qi Nian looked up and met Pu Xi's gaze: "I've come to see Xi Xi."

Pu Xi was stunned. She had just said that she wasn't here to see her.

"what?"

"Xi Xi doesn't believe me?"

"No."

"XiXi thinks I haven't messaged you for several days, so why would I come looking for you specifically? Then why hasn't XiXi messaged me either?"

"I think..."

"Xixi thinks that because I didn't reply to your messages those few days, you deliberately didn't want to talk to me, so you stopped messaging me after that?"

Pu Xi looked up at Qi Nian. What a kind person, she had already given her all the excuses.

Pu Xi nodded.

"I was quite busy those few days, it wasn't intentional that I didn't reply to your messages."

Although she already knew from Su Yunye that Fu Shen, Qi Nian, and Su Yunye were causing trouble for each other, why?

For her? Just thinking about it makes me feel a bit narcissistic.

"okay, I get it."

Since Qi Nian has already explained the whole story, let's forgive him. What else can we do? She needs him for her live stream tonight.

"No matter how busy I am in the future, I will reply to your messages, Xixi."

Pu Xi looked at Qi Nian and nodded. Seriously?

"System, check Qi Nian's favorability rating."

"Okay, host."

[Prayer's current affection level is 45. Comment: Slightly ambiguous.]

The favorability rating of 45 is quite high, but the comments are still somewhat ambiguous.

"it is good."

Qi Nian sat up straight: "Xi Xi is going to do a live stream tonight?"

"Well, the event ends in two nights, and I'm afraid my ranking will drop if I don't stream."

"Then I'll take you back?"

"it is good."

Pu Xi provided the address of the Qi Nian Kapok Bay residential complex.

I chatted with Qi Nian all the way back to the neighborhood.

She politely invited Qi Nian into her rented room to sit down.

It's a little past 5 p.m. now.

"Xixi, may I borrow your guest room to rest for a while?"

"Of course." It was clear from the car that Qi Nian was very tired; it seemed she hadn't had a proper rest in the past few days.

Pu Xi took the bed sheets and duvet covers and made up the bed in the guest bedroom on the first floor for Qinian.

"I'm editing videos outside, Boss Qi, please rest first."

"Okay, thank you, Xixi."

"You're welcome."

Pu Xi left the room and started editing the video outside.

After editing the video, it was already past 8 p.m. She realized that Qi Nian hadn't eaten the fried skewers she had that afternoon and would definitely be hungry. This would be a good option for her to have for dinner, and she wouldn't eat any late-night snacks after the live stream.

She picked up her phone and ordered takeout. The dishes were all light Cantonese cuisine, because Qi Nian had taken her to eat Cantonese food in Y City, and she thought Qi Nian's taste was light.

When the takeout arrived, Pu Xi knocked on the door of Qinian's room.

"Boss Qi, I've ordered some food. Would you like something to eat?"

After waiting a while and seeing no response, he knocked a few more times: "Boss Qi, am I coming in?"

After still no response, Pu Xi turned the doorknob and the door opened; it turned out that Qi Nian hadn't locked it.

When you open the door, you can see someone lying on the bed in the darkness, but you don't know if they are awake.

"I'm coming in." Pu Xi tiptoed in, came to the bedside and saw that Qi Nian was still asleep. Just as she was about to go back the way she came, she was pulled onto the bed.

Looking at the prayers bowing before her, Pu Xi's eyes widened and her heart raced.

"Boss Qi?"

"Does Xixi know that disturbing someone's sleep is a bad thing?"

Pu Xi blinked; she just wanted to call him for dinner.

"Therefore, as punishment."

"What punishment?"

Could it be...?

Qi Nian leaned down and kissed Pu Xi's lips, giving them a few light, fleeting kisses before pulling away.

He missed her terribly after not contacting her for the past few days, and realized that she had unknowingly taken up a place in his heart. He thought she would still message him even when he was busy, just like before, but she didn't.

There wasn't a single message, and they acted like strangers, not bothering each other at all. This made him suspect that her previous statement that she was special to him was a lie. So, as soon as he finished his work, he came to S City to find her without even taking a break.

To determine whether her words were true or false, and to determine whether she truly held a place in his heart.

Pu Xi looked at Qi Nian with shyness and confusion, wondering whether to continue.

[Prayer increases affection by 5, current affection level reaches 50, comment: Slightly fond of.]

"Get up and eat."

Is this the end?

Qi Nian reached out his hand, and Pu Xi grasped it before being lifted up.

"I ordered Cantonese food. I don't know if Boss Qi will like it."

“Xixi can call me to pray or to recite.”

"it is good."

The two of them worked together to take out and open the takeout.

While eating.

"Will XiXi be live-streaming later?"

"Okay, I'll start the live stream after I finish eating."

Will my resting on the side affect you?

"No, it's just that I'm worried my live stream will affect your rest."

"No, I really want to watch Xixi's live stream again."

After dinner, Pu Xi prepared for the live broadcast, while Qi Nian gentlemanly helped Pu Xi pack her things and then sat down on the sofa.

Pu Xi thoughtfully provided water, fruit, and snacks. Whether Qi Nian ate them or not was one thing, but her thoughtfulness was another.

After all, the success of the live stream depends on whether Qi Nian will give a reward. If she is well-prepared, the chances of her giving a reward will be greater.

When Pu Xi started her live stream, it was already past 10 o'clock, and there was still a little over an hour left before the end of the day's ranking competition.
