Even though I was slightly tipsy and my mind was a bit hazy,

Upon hearing this, Shen Ting instinctively shuddered.

She opened her mouth, trying to come up with an excuse, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

A few seconds later, she slumped onto the table, her breathing gradually becoming even.

Shi Yan: ...

He shook his head helplessly, stepped forward to help her up, and walked all the way to the electric scooter at the door.

To prevent her from falling asleep in the back seat and causing any further accidents.

Shi Yan had no choice but to let her sit in front, so that he could protect her with his arms.

Walking on the street, Shen Ting felt a bit more awake after being exposed to the wind.

She kept her eyes half-open, her mind replaying the question Shi Yan had just asked her.

Why have you suddenly become a different person these past few days?

As expected of the male protagonist in the novel, he was very perceptive and noticed her change immediately.

But how should she answer?

If she admits that she is not the original owner of the body, will Shi Yan give her, an innocent bystander, a break?

Or will he be even more ruthless?

Shen Ting pondered this question in a daze the whole way, but couldn't come up with a solution.

Shi Yan slowly parked the electric scooter downstairs, helped her upstairs, and then carried her to the bed.

Just as he was about to leave, Shen Ting grabbed his hand in a daze.

Shi Yan lost his balance and fell backward.

He instinctively braced himself on the edge of the bed with his hands, one leg kneeling beside the bed, his whole body almost suspended above her.

The distance is less than a finger's width.

Shi Yan could clearly see her unfocused and confused gaze.

And the sound of their breaths mingling.

She had a faint scent of shower gel on her, which smelled exceptionally pleasant.

The moment Shen Ting saw the man in front of her clearly, she was sobered up considerably.

I had originally planned to take advantage of my drunken state to muster the courage to confess to him.

But when it came to actually speaking, she found herself speechless.

"I...I'm so sleepy..."

She blurted out those words out of nowhere, turned over, and soon fell into a deep, even sleep.

Beside her, Shi Yan stared intently at her, his mind in turmoil.

In the brief moment when the two were in close proximity, he heard his own heart pounding.

He couldn't wait to take that thing out right now.

But not now.

He cannot take advantage of someone's misfortune.

Shi Yan felt an uncomfortable swelling in a certain part of his body.

He hurried to the bathroom, but even after the cold water was poured over him, the discomfort did not lessen in the slightest.

As if guided by some unseen force, his hand touched a certain spot.

……

When Shi Yan came out of the bathroom again, the lust that had been surging in his eyes had subsided.

He went to the kitchen, cooked a bowl of porridge, and wrote a note by his bedside.

Remember to drink some porridge after you wake up; it's good for your stomach.

He then put on three sets of delivery uniforms and went out to deliver food again.

As soon as he stepped out of the residential compound, a slightly plump middle-aged woman stared straight at him.

"Are you Shen Ting's boyfriend?"

Shi Yan glanced at her indifferently and hummed in response.

Zhou Yu looked him up and down, then couldn't help but gasp: "What a handsome man! And so hardworking and reliable. I don't know how Shen Ting could be so blind as to not be interested in you!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Who are you?" he asked.

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow: "I'm her good friend, but I can't stand her toying with your feelings."

"You don't know yet, do you? Shen Ting is being supported by you while secretly going on blind dates with other men behind your back."

Shi Yan raised his eyes and glanced at her without much expression.

He then prepared to walk around her and continue on his way.

Seeing his disbelief, Zhou Yu quickly followed and asked, "Don't you think Shen Ting has changed a lot lately?"

Shi Yan then paused in his steps.

What evidence do you have?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu excitedly opened WeChat and retrieved her chat history with Shen Ting.

The text clearly shows Shen Ting repeatedly asking her if she knew any high-quality, wealthy men, as well as various sarcastic and belittling remarks about Shi Yan.

They scolded him for being useless, for having a good-looking appearance but having problems in that area, and for being poor.

Shi Yan's gaze fell on the phrase "there is a problem in that area," and his brows gradually furrowed.

He pursed his thin lips, didn't say a word, and left with a cold face.

Zhou Yu watched his retreating figure with smug satisfaction, thinking to herself, "Now just wait and see what happens."

No man can tolerate being cuckolded.

They're definitely going to have a huge fight, and Shen Ting might even get dumped.

At that time, Shen Ting will only be able to date the men she introduces, and she'll be able to sit back and count her money!

*

In the afternoon, Shi Yan was distracted while delivering takeout.

I was late for two orders, and spilled food on another one. I received three complaints, so my wages for today will be reduced by half.

Shi Yan returned home exhausted. As soon as he opened the door, his pupils constricted slightly when he saw the person inside.

Shen Ting had just finished showering when she remembered that she had left her bath towel on the balcony.

She was used to living alone at home, so she simply threw on a piece of clothing and ran naked to the balcony.

But Shi Yan, who was on his way home, saw them together.

Her mind went blank, and she instinctively screamed.

Just as he was about to run back, his foot slipped, and he fell uncontrollably to the ground.

"Be careful!"

Shi Yan rushed forward to help her, but ended up falling to the ground himself because Shen Ting pulled him down.

When he opened his eyes again, Shen Ting was lying on top of him.

Their breaths mingled.

Shen Ting instantly recalled the scene from noon today when she had drowsily dragged him onto the bed.

Shen Ting: !!!

She quickly stood up.

During that time, I touched something hard and warm.

She instinctively thought it was a keychain, so she used it to support herself as she stood up.

She seemed to hear a muffled groan from the man beneath her, but she paid no attention.

"Close your eyes!" she shouted as she hurriedly grabbed a towel from the balcony and went back into the bathroom.

The bathroom door slammed shut.

Shi Yan slowly opened his eyes.

He sat up, feeling his heart pounding in his ears, and a certain part of his body began to throb uncomfortably.

He recalled the chat log on Zhou Yu's screen earlier that day, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

When Shen Ting finished wiping herself and came out, she inexplicably felt that Shi Yan's gaze was particularly strange today.

Without thinking much, she picked up the hair dryer.

But Shi Yan took it.

"I'll blow it for you."
