Yan Ting pulled Chen Xiao to a garden in the backyard of the hospital.

She gazed at the loquat and osmanthus trees in the garden, and after a long while, suddenly asked, "Shall I speak?"

"Did you install a GPS tracker on me?"

Yan Ting wasn't stupid; she had previously thought Chen Xiao's appearance was a coincidence.

But if it's a coincidence once or twice, is it also a coincidence three or four times?

This is simply not realistic.

Faced with Yan Ting's questioning, Chen Xiao, with his hands in his pockets, remained remarkably calm: "I came to the hospital to have my wound checked."

Although he did install a tracking device on Yanting's phone, he naturally wouldn't admit it.

Yan Ting withdrew her gaze and looked at Chen Xiao: "Wound?"

She glanced at the other person up and down; they didn't look injured at all.

However, out of humanitarian concern, Yanting still asked, "How did you get injured? Is it serious?"

"Heavy." Chen Xiao lied without batting an eye, "Very heavy. And extremely painful."

Yan Ting paused, then hesitated and asked, "Where is your wound? Let me see."

Beyond the worries, it was more of a test.

Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, a playful smile playing on his lips: "Are you sure you want to see?"

"I'm sure." Although Yan Ting felt a strange sensation, it vanished in an instant.

“Since Miss Yan wants to see, how can I let your kindness go to waste?” As she spoke, Yan Ting watched as the young man’s porcelain-white, slender fingers slowly and deliberately unbuttoned the metal buttons on his pure black silk shirt, one by one.

Every move he made could not conceal the innate nobility that was inherent in his bones.

"?!" Just as the other person was about to unbutton the third button, Yan Ting quickly stopped Chen Xiao's actions and asked in a low voice, "Why are you taking off your clothes?"

Chen Xiao lowered his head, and from his angle, he could completely look down at Yan Ting's slightly nervous face. He chuckled and said, "Miss Yan, did you want to see my wound?"

Yan Ting was stunned for a moment before she realized that Chen Xiao's wound was on his body.

For a moment, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"I'm sorry." She immediately released her hands from Chen Xiao's body.

Chen Xiao licked his teeth, staring at Yan Ting's beautiful face, feeling a slight warmth in his heart.

He did it on purpose.

If he really just wanted to see the wound, he could have simply lifted the hem of his clothes to show it, but he chose not to.

After unbuttoning all the buttons, Chen Xiao did not take off his shirt, but simply exposed his pale chest muscles, lean waist, and eight-pack abs.

He is the type who looks slim in clothes but muscular when undressed.

The muscle texture and direction are perfect, neither too exaggerated nor too thin.

Although Yan Ting had seen Chen Xiao's physique once before, she still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this moment.

But the next second, her embarrassment vanished when she saw the wound on Chen Xiao's abdomen.

The other person's abdomen was wrapped in layers of gauze, and in addition to the gauze, there were crisscrossing scars, some new and some old.

"Who hurt him?" Yan Ting asked instinctively.

For no apparent reason, a surge of anger began to rise within me.

She thought that perhaps it was because Chen Xiao had helped her so much that she was so angry, so angry that she wanted to teach the person who had hurt Chen Xiao a lesson right away.

Li Qian felt nothing when she was cursing Yan Ting, but she became so angry when she saw the scars on Chen Xiao's body.

Chen Xiao said indifferently, "They're just a bunch of clowns, not worth mentioning."

His life in this world was not as smooth sailing as it was before he transmigrated. Here, he was essentially starting all over again, struggling and enduring hardships. The injuries he sustained were as simple as drinking water.

If Yan Ting got the script of a tragic heroine, then Chen Xiao got the script of a commoner's rise to success.

The laws of this world seem to reject him, always trying to hinder his growth and setting up various death traps for him, all in an effort to eliminate him.

Chen Xiao didn't realize this at first, until he actually tried to use his power in Jingzhou to get rid of the male protagonist, and then Heaven would do everything in its power to protect the male protagonist.

He encountered Yan Lin, one of the male protagonists, during his last overseas mission.

Yan Lin is a treacherous and unpredictable person, not to be underestimated.

Chen Xiao remembered clearly that he had aimed his shot at Yan Lin's heart, but the bullet did not pierce the heart as he had expected.

This is highly illogical.

Chen Xiao was very confident in his marksmanship; there was no way he would miss.

It was only later that he suddenly realized that everything was actually the work of Heaven in the dark.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but sneer.

What kind of bullshit Heavenly Way is this?

Those who aid and abet evil deserve to be part of the Heavenly Way.

At that time, the system simply stated: "The entire order and logic of this world revolve around the female protagonist and the five male protagonists. If any variables arise, Heaven will find a way to eliminate them, such as you, the host."

Heaven has been watching you for a long time.

However, what the system couldn't understand was that Heaven seemed to be somewhat wary of its host.

It couldn't help but think of the immense luck that Chen Xiao possessed, which seemed to come from nowhere, and that luck was no less than that of the male protagonist.

This is why it initially tied up the wrong person.

By a twist of fate, the system mistook Chen Xiao for the male protagonist of this world.

Seeing that Chen Xiao was unwilling to talk more, Yan Ting stopped asking questions.

Instead, they asked how his injuries were healing.

Chen Xiao answered irrelevantly, "Miss Yan, would you like to examine me yourself?" He stepped forward, bent his straight back, and his stunningly beautiful face was right in front of Yan Ting.

Yan Ting subconsciously took a step back. She didn't dare to look at Chen Xiao's increasingly close, sexy, and muscular body any longer. She could only look around and say, "No need. I'm not a doctor. It's better to have a professional take a look at this."

Seeing the little girl's forced calm and aloof demeanor, Chen Xiao curled his lips and said softly, "You're still the same as when you were little." Whenever she's being insincere or nervously lying, she looks around and unconsciously fidgets with her fingers.

Yan Ting paused for a moment.

That strange feeling came back again.

She always felt that Chen Xiao was looking at another person through her, and that person must be very similar to her.

Otherwise, why would the other person look at her with such gentle and doting eyes?

There is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason.

Yanting couldn't believe that such favoritism would befall her.

But Chen Xiao always appeared like a savior, rescuing her from danger.

The feeling is like a small pebble falling into a lake, instantly creating ripples on the calm surface.

Soon, the lake returned to its usual calm, as if the trace had never happened.

"Excuse me." A voice suddenly came.

Yan Ting turned around and saw the nurse standing in the corridor, her face flushed as she looked at her and Chen Xiao.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed you." The nurse lowered her head and quickly left the backyard.

Yanting, who wanted to call out to the nurse, said: "..."

I was so embarrassed I felt like my scalp was tingling.

The way she and Chen Xiao were positioned could easily lead to misunderstandings.

Especially since Chen Xiao's shirt was still open, anyone would think that the two of them were doing something inappropriate.

Yan Ting immediately distanced herself from Chen Xiao, coughed twice, and urged, "Button up your shirt!"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly.

He buttoned up his clothes, still moving slowly and deliberately.

This time, however, the speed was much faster than before.

Yan Ting breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had buttoned up all the buttons on his shirt.

after awhile.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just now..."

"Hmm?" Chen Xiao's gaze had been fixed on her. He said lazily, "Just now?"

Yan Ting took a deep breath and said very sincerely, "Thank you for your help in the ward earlier."

She knew that if it weren't for Chen Xiao's appearance, she and Yanshan would likely have ended up fighting to the death, both suffering heavy losses, in order to achieve their goal of moving out.

For her at this moment, the Yan family was like an unshakeable mountain.

But Chen Xiao's appearance made her realize one thing: there are even higher mountains beyond the high mountains.

"Just a thank you?" Chen Xiao stepped forward, closing the distance between them again.

Yan Ting pursed her lips and looked up into the man's dark eyes: "Of course not. As long as I have what you need, just ask. As long as it's not illegal or disorderly, I can do it for you."

Chen Xiao did not reply.

a long time.

Yan Ting heard someone sigh softly and slowly above her head.

"I don't need you to do anything."

Yan Ting's eyelashes trembled slightly as she said softly, "Mr. Chen, you don't need to worry about me. I can do anything that is within my power."

Chen Xiao lowered his eyes. He knew his little girl was still stubborn. "Aren't you afraid I'll make you do things you're uncomfortable with or don't want to do?"

Yan Ting was taken aback.

Of course she had thought about it.

But is there anything about her that would make someone want to take advantage of her?

beautiful?

Or is it her body?

It couldn't possibly be liking, could it?

She may have deliberately ignored this.

At that time, the breeze was gentle and the sun was shining brightly.

The leaves inside the wall rustled in the wind, casting dappled shadows on the ground and the wall.

half an hour.

"Yanting," someone said softly, "I hope you will always be free."

In an instant.

Time seemed to have been paused.

Yan Ting's heart skipped a beat: "..."

free?

She never imagined that Chen Xiao's request would be so simple.

Little did they know, this was not a request, but Chen Xiao's most sincere wish.

He hoped his little girl would be free from illness and disaster, unrestrained, and as free as the wind.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

"Oh, right," Yanting suddenly interrupted the quiet atmosphere between the two, "your phone seems to be broken. Let me take you to get a new one."

After looking at her for a few seconds, Chen Xiao knew that the girl was deliberately changing the subject, but he still hummed in agreement.

So the two left the hospital and went to the nearest mobile phone repair and sales shop.

There were only two people in the shop: an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, and a young woman.

The phone repairman was an old man. He looked through Chen Xiao's phone and couldn't help but click his tongue twice, saying, "How did you drop it? It was dropped so badly."

Yan Ting asked, "Can it still be repaired?"

"It can be repaired, but it will cost extra."

Yan Ting immediately replied, "Money is not a problem."

The young woman was the old man's daughter. She looked at the man with pink hair and secretly admired him. She disliked men who dyed their hair, especially a color like pink, which could easily turn out badly. But this handsome man looked really good with it.

It's a pity that it's already taken.

And his girlfriend is very beautiful.

The two of them standing together were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

"Handsome guy, take a look."

Chen Xiao glanced at the various brands of mobile phones displayed in the glass case, then tapped the glass with his finger. "Miss Yan, why don't you give me some advice?"

Yanting looked at the phones and said, "Just pick the one you like."

Finally, she added, "Don't try to save me money."

The young woman looked surprised upon hearing this.

She first looked at Chen Xiao, then at Yan Ting, and secretly wondered, "Could this handsome guy be a gigolo?"

Unaware that the woman was thinking of him as a gigolo, Chen Xiao glanced at the phone in Yan Ting's hand and said in a lazy and casual manner, "Then buy a phone of the same brand as Miss Yan's."

Yan Ting paused for two seconds.

She looked at the young woman and asked, "Do you still have this brand?"

The woman glanced at Yanting's phone and immediately replied, "Yes, I do." As she spoke, she took out a phone from the glass display case that was exactly the same as Yanting's, and even the same color.

This brand is almost outdated, but it's not cheap.

One costs 20,000 yuan.

Young woman: "Handsome guy/beautiful lady, we give away free couple phone cases with every phone purchase here. Take a look and see if there's anything you like?"

Yan Ting was about to say no, but Chen Xiao interrupted her: "Couple's set?"

"Yes."

"Let me see."

There are many styles of couple phone cases, including animal patterns, cartoon character patterns, and landscape patterns.

In the end, Chen Xiao immediately chose an orange couple's phone case with a cat design.

His was a tabby cat, while the one given to Yanting was a calico cat.

Anyone who looks at them will think they're a couple's set.

Chen Xiao looked at the phone case that had been put on his new phone, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Yan Ting hesitated and said, "...I don't need to change, right?"

After all, she and Chen Xiao were not in a romantic relationship.

But it's clear the young woman has misunderstood.

She said warmly, "Miss, your boyfriend has already changed into this. If you don't, your boyfriend will be heartbroken."

Yan Ting: "?"

What's hurting him?

She was just about to explain the relationship between the two of them.

But Chen Xiao didn't give her that chance, "Miss Yan, aren't cats cute?"

Yan Ting replied instinctively, "Cute."

If we ignore the fact that they are couple phone cases, the phone cases Chen Xiao chose definitely hit her aesthetic point.

Before she could even react, Chen Xiao had already changed the phone case for her.

Seeing this, Yanting had no choice but to give up.

I thought to myself, it's just a phone case.

…………

"Miss Yan, have you chosen your wedding dress yet?"

The sudden remark startled Yanting.

She immediately replied, "Yes, I've already made my choice."

"Would you welcome me that day?" His deep voice held a hint of amusement.

Although Yan Ting felt a little strange, she still said, "Okay."

"Even if I went to steal the bride?" Chen Xiao stared at Yan Ting with a half-smile, his eyes unfathomable.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ting looked astonished.

Chen Xiao clicked his tongue and said in a half-joking tone, "Just kidding."
