Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 218 [if] Our relationship is shameful
The burning in the ankle spreads along the nerves.

Sang Yu frowned and whimpered, "It hurts..."

Tears are about to fall.

Xi Jinbai suppressed the strangeness in his body, held her waist, exerted force with his arms, turned her over, let her sit on the sofa, and squatted down to check the injury on her foot.

Sang Yu woke up, but his attention was occupied by the pain and he didn't realize what had just happened.

Xi Jinbai held her heels and gently massaged them. He controlled the strength of the kneading according to the doctor's instructions. "Are you feeling better?"

The bloating and pain gradually eased and it was much better than before.

Sang Yu exhaled, "Yeah."

Xi Jinbai let go and stood up, "I'll get you an ice pack to cool you down."

Sang Yu leaned back on the sofa, his thoughts returning to his senses.

The skin of her left foot still retained the warmth of his palm. A slight numbness rose to her heart belatedly, and the tip of her ear was tinged with a light red.

I just fell on him.

He really keeps causing trouble for him.

Xi Jinbai took out a medical ice pack from the shopping bag and squeezed it to cool it quickly.

He returned to the sofa, squatted on one knee, held Sang Yu's feet again, and put the ice pack on her ankle.

Through the gauze, the cool touch slowly seeps into the skin.

Sang Yu felt very uncomfortable when someone held his foot. He bent down and took it with his hand, "I can do it myself."

The fingertips touched, and a trace of warmth passed through.

Xi Jinbai withdrew his hand and sat back on the sofa next to him. "Are you usually so careless?"

Can she take care of herself like this?
Sang Yu knew he was in the wrong, so he lowered his voice: "I'm not like this usually, it's because I drank a lot, I'm sleepy."

"You can't drink much, so drink less."

"I know, this was an accident."

If there hadn't been rum added to the mousse cake, she wouldn't have been so confused.

After she applied the ice for a while, Xi Jinbai carried her to the guest room and finally reminded her: "The toiletries are in the bathroom. Go to bed early after you clean up. Call me if you need anything."

Sang Yu nodded, "Okay, thank you."

After closing the door for her, Xi Jinbai went back to the dining room, took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the lid, and drank half of the bottle in one breath.

Forcefully suppress the heat in your abdomen.

The image in my mind couldn't be erased, and the soft, boneless touch kept surrounding my chest.

He clearly realized that Sang Yu was no longer the little girl who had not grown up.

But she was only eighteen years old, and he actually had impulses towards a little girl.

This had never happened to him in all these years.

Xi Jinbai drank the remaining half bottle of ice water, went back to the bedroom and took a cold shower to calm himself and drive away the inappropriate thoughts.
-
The next day was Sunday. Sang Yu had no classes, so he didn't set the alarm and slept until nine o'clock.

She limped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. As she fixed her hair in front of the mirror, she thought of everything that happened last night.

She caused so much trouble, but Xi Jinbai didn't throw her out. It seems that he has a good temper and is not as ruthless as Jiang Tang said.

While I was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock Knock-"

Sang Yu came back to his senses, turned around and said, "The door is not locked, you can come in."

After saying this, she suddenly realized that she had never thought about locking the door last night, as if she subconsciously trusted Xi Jinbai very much.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Xi Jinbai walked in. "Have you finished washing up? Let's go have breakfast."

"Okay." Sang Yu held onto the wall and hopped slowly on one leg as he moved out.

Xi Jinbai saw that it was difficult, so he just carried her to the restaurant.

There were two breakfasts on the table, including sandwiches, fruit salad, hot milk and coffee.

The color combination is rich and looks very appetizing.

Sang Yu picked up the milk and asked, "Did you make breakfast?"

Xi Jinbai sat down opposite her and picked up his knife and fork slowly, "Hmm."

I didn't expect he could make breakfast.

Sang Yu asked about the business, "Did you call the club? Did I leave my key in the box?"

Xi Jinbai took a bite of the sandwich, chewing gracefully, "Yeah, it was delivered this morning."

Sang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then where are my keys?"

Xi Jinbai raised his eyes and looked directly at her. "There's no one at your house, and there's no elevator in the apartment. What are you going to do by yourself?"

"I……"

She didn't know either, but she had to go home.

While she was hesitating, Xi Jinbai had already made a decision for her, "Just stay here for a few days, and I'll take you home later to get some clothes." Sang Yu hesitated, "But..."

After all, there are differences between men and women, and it is never good to disturb him all the time.

Xi Jinbai offered her another option, "Then I will tell my uncle and aunt to hire someone else to take care of you."

Sang Yu objected hastily, "No!"

She muttered in a low voice: "Just stay, but don't think I'm troublesome."

Xi Jinbai raised his lower lip imperceptibly.

Sang Yu ate the sandwich silently and started eating the fruit. "When will you return home?"

"Half a month later." Xi Jinbai ate faster than her. He put down his cutlery and took a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Sang Yu calculated the time and said, "It seems to be about the same as mine."

She has her final exams in half a month and can go home for the holidays.

Xi Jinbai stood up and said, "I'm going to take care of my work. Call me after you finish eating."

"Oh."

Sang Yu was not in a hurry and ate his fruit salad slowly.

Suddenly a cell phone rang from the room.

She put down her fork and looked at the man on the sofa in the living room for help. "Xi Jinbai, can you help me get my phone? It's on the bedside table."

He said nothing, put down the documents in his hand and walked towards the guest room.

Before the ringing sound stopped, the phone was delivered to Sang Yu.

She thanked him, and when she saw the caller ID, she immediately cast a pleading look at Xi Jinbai, "Please don't talk for a while."

"Is our relationship shameful?" He raised his eyebrows and looked down at the girl condescendingly.

Sang Yu: "?"

What kind of relationship? Aren't we just ordinary friends?

Xi Jinbai stared into her eyes and asked: Since we are just ordinary friends, why are you panicking?
Sang Yu understood what he meant and blinked his eyelashes. "Is it normal for me to show up at your place so early in the morning? What if I let it slip that I'm injured?"

And that little guy Ji Zicheng always tells her to stay away from male creatures every time he calls her. If he knew about this, he would probably make a fuss.

"Okay." Xi Jinbai reluctantly accepted this reason and returned to the living room to continue reading documents.

Sang Yu quickly connected the video. Ji Zicheng's face was magnified on the screen, and her voice came over, "Sister! What took you so long to answer the phone?"

"I was just having breakfast."

Ji Zicheng lay on the sofa and said in a long tone, "I miss you so much, sister, when will you come back?"

Sang Yu smiled and said, "It's almost there, only half a month left."

Ji Zicheng sighed, "Half a month is too long."

Ji Wanning came over and patted his head to ask him to sit down, then took the phone from his hand and said, "Yu Yu, you don't have class today, right?"

"Well, take a rest today."

"You have to take good care of yourself when your aunt is away, and don't forget to eat three meals a day."

"I know, don't worry, Mommy. Is everything okay at home?"

"all good."

Ji Zicheng squeezed next to Ji Wanning and forced himself into the camera, "I still need to talk to my sister."

"You go ahead." Ji Wanning returned the phone to him.

Ji Zicheng chattered to Sang Yu about some recent events at school. Sang Yu listened patiently and responded to every word.

Before hanging up the phone, he ended with the same words, "Sister, don't get too close to men!"

"Got it." Sang Yu felt a little guilty this time. He lowered his voice and glanced at the living room out of the corner of his eye. Xi Jinbai had been looking down at the documents, as if he didn't care about this side at all.

After saying goodbye, he hung up the phone.

As soon as I put down my phone, someone's voice floated into my ears, "Don't get too close to men?"

My heart skipped a beat.

Sang Yu tilted his head and met his deep eyes.

Xi Jinbai walked towards the restaurant, his tone neither cold nor indifferent, but with a hint of oppression.

Sang Yu lowered his eyes and explained in a low voice: "My brother, he is afraid that I will be cheated."

Xi Jinbai stopped by the dining table, his arm resting on the back of the chair behind her, his figure looming over her, "Have you ever been cheated before?"

The breath approached.

Sang Yu smelled the pine scent on him and looked away, "No, I've watched too many TV dramas as a kid, and I always feel like I'll be cheated."

Xi Jinbai was silent for a moment, "You do look like you're easily deceived."

Sang Yu: "?"

What do you mean? That she doesn't look smart?
PS: Let’s start our cohabitation life beautifully hahaha~
