I left the room.

Qi Nan went next door, raised his hand and knocked.

After waiting for a long time, I still didn't receive a response.

"Is he not home?"

Just as he was about to leave, a slightly weak voice came from inside the room, "Who's there?"

Qi Nan pinched his nose and said in a low voice, "Here to deliver a package."

Through the door.

Xia Ningqi said coldly, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Realizing his clumsy disguise had been exposed, Qi Nan could only helplessly say, "Okay, it was actually me."

There was no sound from one side of the door.

Fearing she would leave, Qi Nan revealed the truth: "Ye Anran went to the milk tea shop to look for you, but the staff said you were sick, so I came to ask about your condition."

"I'm fine, you can go now."

Xia Ningqi clutched her stomach, her once bright red lips now devoid of color.

What happened this morning.

She's still holding a grudge and doesn't want to talk to that damned liar Qi Nan anymore.

Qi Nan wasn't stupid. Even though there was a door between them, he could still tell that Xia Ningqi was acting strangely. "Are you lying to me?"

"So what? You're allowed to lie to me, but I'm not allowed to lie to you?"

Xia Ningqi's voice suddenly became louder, leaving Qi Nan somewhat at a loss for words. More importantly, he had no idea what Xia Ningqi was angry about.

"Open the door first. What's the matter? Let's talk face to face."

"No, go away, and don't bother me again."

Qi Nan covered his forehead, sighed, and then played his trump card, "If you don't open the door, I'll have to go find your grandma."

It's that trick again.

Xia Ningqi's chest began to rise and fall weakly.

"How shameless are you? Is this all you can do to threaten me?"

Qi Nan took a deep breath. "Who told you to be so stubborn?"

"You're the one who's meddling! Even if I die in this apartment and rot away, it's none of your business, is it?"

What a troublesome girl.

Qi Nan tossed his hair in annoyance.

Where's the damn male lead? He still hasn't shown up? Is it easy being the villain?

This was the first time Qi Nan had ever seen such an incompetent male lead. He should have focused on advancing the plot when the female lead was vulnerable, but after sending Xia Ningqi back, he disappeared without a trace, leaving Qi Nan to clean up the mess.

Gritting his teeth, Qi Nan took out his phone. Fine, since he's already playing the bad guy, he might as well go all the way.

"Whether you answer the phone or not is your business. Your grandma's worries are none of my concern, because that's just the kind of person I am."

"Beep beep beep~"

Qi Nan deliberately turned up the volume on his phone so that Xia Ningqi could hear him clearly.

asshole!

Xia Ningqi pushed open the door from the inside.

Looking up, she met Qinan's gaze.

"Hang up the phone!"

Qi Nan hung up the phone; in fact, he had only dialed a dead number. He then looked down at Xia Ningqi and noticed that she didn't look well, and that her other hand was pressed against her stomach.

Before Xia Ningqi could react.

Qi Nan's hand, with its distinct knuckles, covered her forehead.

"Low-grade fever and menstrual cramps, did you catch a cold?"

"How...how did you know?"

Qi Nan casually remarked, "Your face is so pale; you've obviously lost too much blood."

"So? You're here to laugh at me?"

Looking at the girl in front of him who was enduring the pain but still stabbing people, Qi Nan took a step forward and pulled her into the room. "Don't talk. You should just lie down quietly."

"Qi Nan! You're trespassing!"

"Yes, yes, then call the police and have me arrested now, and I will definitely confess without hesitation."

Do you think I wouldn't dare?

Pulling her to sit on the bed, Qi Nan didn't answer her question, but instead asked a completely different one, "Do you have brown sugar or medicine for menstrual cramps in your room?"

I'm going to call the police and have you arrested!

The rain was pouring down, just like Qi Nan's mood.

Xia Ningqi turned her head.

She was momentarily stunned as she watched the boy walk straight towards her. His long, slender hands gripped her neck, not with much force, but enough to knock her onto the bed.

My brain went blank for a moment.

Xia Ningqi thought Qi Nan was going to do something reckless, but she wasn't as scared as she had imagined. Her heart started racing, and she even felt a little breathless.

"Whether it's true or not, can you cooperate a little?"

"Qi Nan...you bastard..."

"I admit I am."

Xia Ningqi's eyes began to redden, and her eyes filled with tears, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

One head and two big.

Qi Nan released his grip, realizing that it was difficult to be a good person.

"Never mind, I'll go buy you medicine. Don't close the door, or you know what will happen," Qi Nan said, waving his phone, his meaning clear.

On the white bed.

Xia Ningqi was wearing a floral print sundress, her head tilted to the side, her canine teeth biting her thin lips, her hair falling around her eyes, looking like she had been bullied.

Qi Nan realized he had frightened her, so he apologized, "I'm sorry, it was my fault just now, I shouldn't have gotten so agitated."

Still no answer.

In the quiet room, only the girl's faint sobs could be heard.

Qi Nan sighed and left the room.

On his way to the pharmacy with an umbrella, he felt a pang of guilt.

Hey~

She's acting more and more like a villain, and she even said she'd escape unscathed. Now that she's back in the Xia family, being skinned alive or tortured will probably be the least of her worries.

Qi Nan felt powerless; things seemed to be getting increasingly out of control.

As expected, villains are villains, and in the end, they all meet their demise.

Thinking about it, Qi Nan arrived at the entrance of a nearby pharmacy, went in and bought antipyretics and medicine to relieve menstrual cramps.

There's actually something else he doesn't understand.

That is, Xia Ningqi's menstrual cramps seem to be quite severe, but it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the original text, and we don't know if there is any special reason.

on the way back.

Qi Nan bought brown sugar at the supermarket and also bought a lollipop. Since he doesn't smoke, he can only use the candy to relieve his worries.

However, if given the chance, he really wants to try all the things he used to think were bad, such as smoking, drinking, and getting tattoos, as a way of experiencing a life different from before.

Qi Nan returned to the apartment.

The door was not locked as expected. He simply pressed the handle and pushed it gently to get inside.

He was in such a hurry earlier that he hadn't noticed the room's furnishings. Now, he realized that Xia Ningqi had tidied up the small room perfectly, and the walls were decorated with various cute stickers and ornaments, making it feel very comfortable.

However, after only glancing at it twice, Qi Nan went to boil some water, intending to make her a bowl of brown sugar water so that she could drink it along with her medicine.

The waiting period.

Qi Nan looked at the girl who had her back to him and couldn't help but feel annoyed. He really shouldn't have been so rough. After all, it was normal for a girl living alone to be afraid of a guy like him who wasn't very likable...

Forget it, Qi Nan has come to terms with it. Anyway, she will get her revenge in the future, and he won't owe her anything.
