The car is still moving.

Xia Ningqi felt a soreness in her shoulders, so she let Qi Nanping lie down and rest his head on her knees.

Fingertips touch the hair.

Qi Nan kept his eyes closed, occasionally nuzzling against her like a kitten.

Not honest at all.

Xia Ningqi stretched out her slender, white fingertips, subconsciously wanting to poke Qi Nan's face, but the driver's voice rang out first, "You can get off now."

Because the pub was close to the apartment, it didn't take much time.

Helping Qi Nan, they arrived at the apartment entrance.

Xia Ningqi tried to find the key on him, but she couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked.

He uttered a complaint.

"Why would they hide the key to this run-down apartment so well?"

What she didn't know was that Qi Nan had brought a handbag to the bar, but Xia Ningqi completely overlooked it when he left.

no way.

Xia Ningqi didn't think much of it and took him to her room next door.

I walked all the way to the edge of the bed.

Xia Ningqi casually tossed Qi Nan onto her white soft bed.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Ningqi looked at the boy on the bed and said irritably, "You said I was heavy when you were carrying yourself, but you don't even look at yourself."

The scene from that time flashed through my mind.

Xia Ningqi quickly shook her head, banishing the strange thought from her mind.

"By the way, what's a good drink for a drunkard?"

Lacking experience in this area, Xia Ningqi had no choice but to take out her phone and start searching.

Honey water?

She was in a bit of a dilemma because she didn't have any honey at home and didn't know where to buy it.

He thought for a moment.

Xia Ningqi muttered to herself, "We still have some cold medicine at home, it's sweet too, that should work, right?"

Once inside the kitchen, she first boiled a kettle of water, then took out a glass, opened two packets of granules, poured them in, and then stirred it with chopsticks.

He nodded in satisfaction only after it had completely dissolved.

next moment.

She took the cup to the bedside.

Because it was still very hot, she wasn't in a hurry and planned to let it cool down a bit before giving it to Qi Nan.

The room was very quiet.

Xia Ningqi sat on the edge of the bed and heard Qi Nan muttering in his drunken dream.

"I'd like to eat grilled fish...pigeon would be nice too..."

She's strangely cute.

Xia Ningqi lowered her eyes and continued the action she hadn't finished in the car, gently poking his cheek.

Qi Nan frowned.

"Don't poke me with your chopsticks if you don't want dumplings."

"Pfft."

Xia Ningqi covered her mouth, a smile appearing on her face, before fixing her gaze on the lip ring on his lower lip.

It does look nice as a decoration, but she still feels it's not suitable.

"Won't it hurt?"

The girl's fingertips traced from her cheek to her thin lips, and after a moment's thought, she put them down.

A ripple of emotion stirred within me.

She tried to support herself on the mattress but ended up pressing on Qi Nan's hand.

Slender and bony.

She didn't move away immediately. A faint blush appeared on Xia Ningqi's beautiful face as she rubbed her fingers together, interlocking them.

Theoretically, a person's normal body temperature should be 37 degrees Celsius, but there seems to be a temperature difference between her and Qi Nan. Her hands are always cold, while Qi Nan's hands are much warmer.

Time passes little by little.

Xia Ningqi's mind was in turmoil. She just silently counted her heartbeats, which were beating a hundred times a minute, as if she were having a heart attack.

As far as the eye could see, the steam rising from the glass gradually dissipated.

It must be cold now.

As Xia Ningqi thought about it, she took the cup with her other hand and held it against her face. The temperature was just right, not too hot.

only...

Feeding it directly like that definitely won't work; you'll need to get a spoon.

Xia Ningqi clenched her fist, pondered for a moment, then slowly relaxed it. She went to the kitchen, found the light pink spoon she often used, which had a cute cartoon bunny printed on it, and then returned to the bedside. Supporting Qi Nan, she fed him spoonful by spoonful.

He coughed once, choked by the choking.

Qi Nan said uncomfortably, "I don't want to take the medicine."

It's clearly sweet.

Xia Ningqi took a sip herself with a spoon and didn't taste any bitterness.

I was given a cup of powder without even realizing it.

Qi Nan fell asleep immediately, seemingly with no intention of waking up.

"What a troublesome guy."

After washing the cups, Xia Ningqi didn't wake Qi Nan. Instead, she sat down at her desk and called Shen Wanping.

"Hey, honey, is something wrong that you're calling so late?"

"I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"What's the problem?"

"Are you targeting the Qi family because of me?"

Shen Wanping didn't hide anything and told the truth, "It was indeed to get revenge for you, because I heard that boy named Qi Nan often bullies you."

"Then let's not do that. I can handle things between him and me myself; I don't need your interference."

"But..."

"Don't worry, Mom. If he bullies me again, I'll definitely tell you."

"Alright, since this is your request, I'll stop for now."

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Wanping felt that Xia Ningqi was still too soft-hearted. But how exactly did this boy named Qi Nan manage to get her to plead for him? Shen Wanping developed a strong interest in Qi Nan.

"Beep beep beep".

Xia Ningqi put down her phone, thinking that she and Qi Nan were even, and then took out her diary from the drawer.

Even now, she still maintains the habit of writing in her diary every day.

I skimmed through it briefly.

Today is December 25th. The entries for the past few days have been very simple.

December 22nd: "Qi Nan came to class with that awful dyed yellow hair, and he had piercings in his mouth and ears. I was curious about what he'd been through. Turns out, he didn't sit next to me but in the seat furthest away. Of course, I can sit wherever he wants, it's none of my business. My mood that day: Annoying, annoying, annoying! This was the worst day I'd had in days!"

December 23: "He actually avoided me. I waited for him at the door for so long, but he just ran away without saying a word. He didn't even buy breakfast. Did he want to starve to death? Mood: Angry, unhappy."

December 24th: "Just like the past two days, I don't want to write anymore. I want to go next door and beat him up, but I probably can't win, so I'll just get beaten up, like before..."

...

December 25th: "He was definitely out fooling around during those few days he disappeared, and it seems he even has a crush on a girl..."

As Xia Ningqi wrote this, a chill crept into her eyes. She pressed the pen harder before putting it down again.

She didn't want to write anymore. She felt that she only needed to record happy things from now on, otherwise her diary would be full of negative energy, which even she found disgusting.

Moreover, compared to her diary, she seems to have something more important to consider now: where should she sleep tonight?

There's only one bed in my room... Am I supposed to sleep with him?

Xia Ningqi looked towards the bed.

But he seems to be asleep now. Even if we sleep together, he probably can't do anything bad...

What else? Should I sleep on the floor? Why should I?

Xia Ningqi sat on the edge of the bed.

I kept repeating to myself, "This is my home. I can sleep wherever I want. You can only blame yourself for not bringing your key."
