After Xie Sili got together with Ji Chaoxi, he felt very insecure and wanted to stick to her all the time.

He always felt that Ji Chaoxi didn't like him that much, and that the reason they got together in the first place wasn't exactly honorable.

At that time, Ji's father was seriously ill. Ji Chaoxi had to worry about her father's illness while also preparing for her postgraduate entrance exam. She was under a lot of pressure.

After Xie Sili found out, he was busy every day, transferring Ji's father to another hospital, hiring a caregiver, settling Ji's mother in, and going to the hospital every day to keep watch so that Ji Chaoxi could prepare for school in peace.

Xie Sili felt despicable for taking advantage of her when she was most vulnerable, but if he had another chance, he would still make the same choice.

He couldn't let her leave him.

Sunlight bathed the ground, and Ji Dadan and Leiting ran around on the grass, their bodies covered in grass and flowers they had picked up from somewhere.

Ji Chaoxi ate an ice pop, sitting cross-legged on the wooden corridor. She leaned against a pillar, feeling a little sleepy.

"Meow!"

Ji Dadan shouted angrily and slapped Leiting's head hard.

"Ji Dadan, can you stop bullying people all the time?" Ji Chaoxi was speechless.

Lei Ting was timid and didn't dare to get angry even after being hit. He whimpered and lay on the ground, rubbing his head against Ji Dadan.

Ji Dadan, who was chasing butterflies, was annoyed when Lei Ting rubbed against him. He slapped Lei Ting a few more times with his paw, and Lei Ting could only look at him pitifully.

The footsteps grew closer. Xie Sili hugged Ji Chaoxi in his arms and laughed, "Don't worry about it. Its skin is so thick, how could it possibly hurt?"

Xie Sili gently kissed her neck, and Ji Chaoxi's ears turned red instantly. She pushed him awkwardly, but couldn't push him away.

She could feel Xie Sili staring at her. She pretended not to notice, but his gaze grew increasingly intense. Ji Chaoxi, embarrassed and angry, covered his eyes.

"Don't you have anything to do?"

He followed her wherever she went.

Ji Chaoxi was under a lot of psychological pressure. She hadn't told the system that she was with Xie Sili.

She didn't know if the system knew about this, and she was often afraid that the system would come back and see them hugging.

Xie Sili's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved: "I already have a formal title, but every time it's done, it feels... like I'm having an affair."

He's sneaking around; is he ashamed of being seen by others?

Ji Chaoxi was speechless; Xie Sili's way of speaking was getting more and more inappropriate.

She cleared her throat, quickly kissed him on the cheek, and then continued eating her popsicle as if nothing had happened.

Xie Sili raised an eyebrow, leaned down, and deepened the kiss.

The woman with the towel was about to wipe the window behind her when she took a step forward and immediately turned around.

Forget it, let's clean up the other areas first.

Ji Chaoxi works very hard every day doing scientific research. She works in the laboratory and sometimes has to work overtime when she gets home. She often falls asleep in her study from exhaustion.

Many times when Xie Sili came home from the company, he would open the study and find Ji Chaoxi asleep on the sofa.

This reminded him of the first time Ji Chaoxi went to his study. She was just like now, so sleepy that she fell asleep on the sofa. But she was very cautious at the time, and she woke up immediately as soon as he entered.

Shesley doesn't like others touching his things or intruding on his space.

But at that moment, as he looked at Ji Chaoxi sitting in the study, he thought to himself, "If only I could see her sleeping every day from now on."

Now this wish has finally come true.

Xie Sili tidied up the documents on the table, gently picked her up, and Ji Chaoxi snuggled into his arms in a daze. Xie Sili gently kissed her forehead.

At first, Ji Chaoxi wasn't used to being close to Xie Sili. Whenever he picked her up, she would immediately wake up. But now she's completely familiar with Xie Sili's scent.

Shesley was very satisfied to discover this.

"Xie Sili, I'm so sleepy."

Xie Sili tucked her in, chuckled softly, and nuzzled her nose.

"Okay, go to sleep."

After Xie Sili finished showering, he held Ji Chaoxi in his arms and closed his eyes.

The moonlight dappled the trees, casting swaying shadows on the ground. A few fireflies flew by, and the occasional meow of a cat mingled with the chirping of cicadas in the garden, rising and falling in waves.

Jiang Shiyi took over the Jiang family business after graduating from high school.

Jiang's father did not think highly of Jiang Shiyi and always secretly wanted to help his illegitimate son rise to the top. As a result, the illegitimate son was involved in a car accident on his first day at the company.

He didn't die, but he lost a leg.

Many things happened in the Jiang family that year, and Jiang Zhen finally understood the pressure on Jiang Shiyi, and he matured as a person.

Since the illegitimate child could no longer be used, Jiang's father set his sights on Jiang Zhen, telling Jiang Shiyi, both openly and subtly, that women were not suitable to be in charge of the household.

Jiang Shiyi didn't say anything, but simply stopped Jiang's father's card. Jiang's father immediately became obedient and never said anything similar again.

Jiang Shiyi and Ji Chaoxi would meet occasionally, and they both tacitly avoided mentioning what Ji Chaoxi had done in the past.

Later, when Jiang Shiyi went abroad, Ji Chaoxi went to the airport to see her off.

As the plane took off, Jiang Zhen leaned back in her seat, scratching her hair in sleepiness.

"Sis, you're going to be gone for so long this time, why don't you say a few more words to her?"

To be honest, he couldn't tell whether his sister's relationship with Ji Chaoxi was good or bad.

They agreed that the two of them wouldn't say much when they met, they would just sit together and play with the cat.

It's hard to say, but these two meet quite often.

Jiang Shiyi lowered her eyes, put on the blindfold, and spoke softly.

"We'll be seeing each other all the time anyway."
