Ch. 15 Malnutrition
Bai Yexi finally left without staying overnight.
However, he did not get into Eldest Young Master Shi’s car, but chose to take the bus by himself.
Shi Yi originally planned to be more courteous with him. He wanted to find out all the details and ulterior motives that this man had.
But his continuous back-to-back business matters eventually made Shi Yi give up the idea.
After all, he has never been an idle person and doesn’t have much free time.
In comparison, Shi Qingning had a long period of rest after being discharged from the hospital and returning home.
He was now ordered not to overwork, and having learned his lesson, he spent more time on other things.
The news that Dexin Hospital was suspected of illegally collecting blood was exposed, and soon after, they were traced back to more related incidents.
In addition to illegal blood extractions, Dexin Hospital was also involved in various illegal things, including fake medical licenses for its employees.
On the day the incident was exposed, Dexin Hospital was sealed off.
A week later, Dexin was completely shut down.
The situation at Haicheng’s Dexin Hospital was dealt with promptly, but just as the Dean had shouted loudly on the spot that day, Dexin was actually a national chain of hospitals.
So even though there was something wrong with its Haicheng branch, it was difficult to thoroughly investigate the whole chain.
After all, the operational difficulty of ordinary cases and cross-provincial cases is not at the same level.
There was not much news regarding the Dexin incident on various social media platforms. It seemed that the head office in Yancheng had taken action so the news was basically suppressed.
In fact, Shi Qingning had guessed most of this result when he learned about Dexin’s various illegal operations.
Shi Qingning had understood before only that Bai Yexi’s case was not the only case. Dexin Hospital might be organizing illegal blood extractions on a large scale and may be even operating an entire industrial chain privately.
But whether it was because there really were not many victims, or since the headquarters were not situated in Haicheng, Dexin had not been found to be involved in any large-scale illegal blood transactions. Instead, some other relatively small illegal medical operations were more obvious.
In this way, it would be difficult to gain the attention of public.
The incident was only spread widely within the Haicheng medical industry for a few days and did not go beyond the circle.
Shi Qingning still couldn’t find any information regarding the An family from all this.
Dexin Hospital was not a special illegal underground blood extraction point, and its chain of hospitals were spread all over the country.
This makes the search for An family just like looking for a needle in a haystack, with no specific direction.
Shi Qingning speculated that the An family might just be one of the unknown shareholders who had invested in Dexin.
Or maybe the An family simply went to Dexin Hospital and found that the inspections there were more lax compared to other public hospitals, which was why they sent Bai Yexi, who was in Haicheng, to that hospital.
Looking at the news, Shi Qingning couldn’t help but sigh softly.
He didn’t expect this either.
Why was it so hard to find one family?
Unable to find the An family who might hurt Bai Yexi at any time, Shi Qingning could only keep an eye on Bai Yexi.
Fortunately, over the past few days, the two of them have lived a fairly peaceful life.
Shi Qingning’s tutoring and piano lessons were reduced to once every alternate day, with only one hour each time.
The rest of the time was used for some other leisurely activities.
Although Bai Yexi spoke very little, Shi Qingning did not feel bored at all when he was with him.
Sometimes they would stay in the piano room for a whole day, or they would plant a row of flowers and plants together in the greenhouse.
The lemon and mint plants that were planted before had already sprouted.
The Shi family has enough wealth, so having one more person in the house doesn’t make any difference.
Shi Qingning also bought some shared items for the two of them under the pretext of wanting for himself.
The piano bench that they had customized earlier had also been delivered. The basswood bench had a warm luster and beautiful and smooth curves, looking very high-end.
However, Shi Qingning looked at the patterns on the piano stool and pondered for a long time.
“I remember deciding on two patterns.”
He said to Wen Qi.
“Mint and lemon twigs.”
“Yes, does it look good?” Wen Qi on the other end of the phone was very interested. ” I heard that the pattern was specially designed by a famous painter.”
Shi Qingning was silent for a moment before saying “…It does look good.”
“But why are they entangled together?”
Shi Qingning’s original intention was to order a piano stool for Bai Yexi, so he chose the mint pattern.
There was indeed mint there… but it seems to be a little bit different from what he expected.
The lemon branches were slender and flexible, and the mint leaves were long and tender. This pattern was really beautiful and comparable to a work of art.
It just seems a little… too intimate.
However, Bai Yexi himself seemed to like this pattern very much. When adjusting the height of the piano stool, Shi Qingning saw him keep his hand on the pattern for a long time.
Bai Yexi’s fingers were long and slender. Shi Qingning wondered if he had watched him play the piano too much, that he had now gotten obsessed with them.
He always felt that Bai Yexi’s touch on the wooden stool was like a gentle caress, fondling a precious piece of art.
It was not until Bai Yexi sat down and started playing the piano that Shi Qingning gradually got back his distracted attention.
Accompanied by a melodious music, warm afternoon sunlight falling into the room, and a gentle atmosphere, Shi Qingning silently listened to him playing the piano.
For a long time, their days passed peacefully just like this.
*
Bai Yexi would go back his house every night, but he would spend most of the day at Shi Qingning’s place.
As they spent more and more time together, Shi Qingning gradually discovered some clues.
Mrs. Shi and Shi Yi are usually very busy. As Shi Qingning’s condition improved a little after the operation, they no longer rushed back every day to supervise his meals.
So, Shi Qingning and Bai Yexi were the only two people at the dinner table.
After observing a few times, Shi Qingning finally couldn’t help but ask.
“Mint,” he asked, “Are you counting calories when you eat?”
Shi Qingning pays much more attention to food than other people. This was not because he has to control his calorie intake like those who are aiming to lose weight, but because there are many dietary taboos for patients with congenital heart disease.
Sugar cannot be consumed in excess, and the sour and spicy tastes can be too irritating. Even if it is a bowl of beef noodles that doesn’t seem much to ordinary people, Shi Qingning can only take a small sip of it.
Just because there is too much oil in it.
Because of this, as time goes by, Shi Qingning naturally became more sensitive to the amount of food eaten.
So, he quickly discovered the difference in Bai Yexi’s diet.
“During your last physical examination, the doctor said that you do not have any gastric problems.”
Shi Qingning said.
“So, why do you eat so little?”
Shi Qingning discovered that Bai Yexi’s eating habits were very similar to his, with the portion of each dish being small and precise.
But Shi Qingning eats like this because he has been ill for many years and is accustomed to strict dietary regulations.
Moreover, he is a picky eater and has a small appetite.
Even though he has recovered now, Shi Qingning will vomit if he eats too much.
That’s why even his mother couldn’t force him to eat more.
But Bai Yexi was not sick.
Then why is he like this?
Bai Yexi just replied calmly, “Got used to it.”
Shi Qingning glanced at the other person’s plate. The white plate was as clean as new. There was nothing on it except for a slice of ham 1Lets just keep it as it is. I’ll make the changes in the previous chapter. in the bowl of rice next to it.
“But you are eating too little like this.” Shi Qingning said.
Very little.
And it’s also very weird.
Normal people have their own food preferences, and picky eaters like Shi Qingning also have their own preference, like sweet and light flavors.
The aunt hired by the Shi family is a very good cook and is very attentive. She will take the initiative to understand everyone’s taste and prepare different dishes for different people.
But it was not the same for Bai Yexi.
Auntie never figured out what he liked to eat.
“And also, your eating habits are pretty weird.” Shi Qingning said.
“Yesterday when I was drinking the nutritional powder solution, you made yourself another cup after you prepared mine. I thought you just wanted to try it, but you drank it all and then didn’t even eat anything to cleanse your palette.”
Nutritional powder is prepared for people with poor gastric absorption or those who have difficulty in eating, and Shi Qingning actually doesn’t like it very much.
He always felt that it was impossible for normal people to accept this taste.
Shi Qingning remembered that he had drunk that powder solution before, and the taste was basically just like lime mixed with water.
The nutritional powder that the Shi family prepares for their young master comes in different flavors.
But the overall taste is still that of lime mixed with water, just with a different smell.
Bai Yexi raised his eyes and looked at him. It was this gaze that made Shi Qingning feel that he was not being treated perfunctorily by the other party.
But whenever Bai Yexi speaks, he is always concise.
He said, “Because I was full.”
Really?
Shi Qingning was a little bit unconvinced.
Rather than eating, Bai Yexi seemed more like… completing a task.
The amount of food eaten was to the point, without any extra desires 2In the sense of food.
Shi Qingning knew that Bai Yexi never cared about anything, and he also knew that there existed a type of people called “People with low desires.”
But no matter how low your desire is, you can’t have no interest in eating, right?
Bai Yexi looked pretty normal when he was eating. He seemed to eat everything, and it seemed that everything on the food was just a bunch of calories to him.
It was as if he was just…
Alive.
But if the plot had developed according to the novel, the protagonist had been roaming the streets since childhood, suffering from hunger and cold.
Shouldn’t he value food more than anyone else?
“Mint, do you have any trauma related to food or eating?”
Shi Qingning asked softly.
“Or…are you trying to control your weight?”
Hearing this, the boy opposite finally paused.
In fact, Bai Yexi was not that surprised.
He already knew how smart the other party was.
“No.” Bai Yexi gently denied it.
“I just got used to it.”
Shi Qingning frowned and was about to ask more questions when he suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
He turned around and saw an exhausted Shi Yi, walking in.
“Elder brother.” Shi Qingning greeted him.
“Are you coming back from your business trip?”
Shi Yi nodded, walked over and put the bag in his hand on the table.
It was an exquisitely packaged insulated bag with the name of an old famous pastry shop in the neighbouring city printed on it.
“Sour jujube cake.” 3Sour jujube cakes are a type of traditional Chinese snack made primarily from jujube fruit, also known as red dates.
Shi Qingning was stunned for a moment and asked, “Did you bring it for me?”
He remembers mentioning it accidentally a few days ago.
“Um.”
After Shi Yi finished speaking, he prepared to go upstairs.
Seeing that, Shi Qingning hurriedly asked, “Brother, do you want to eat with me?”
“No, I’m going to the company.” Shi Yi replied as he continued walking upstairs.
So, Shi Qingning went to open the insulated bag, and as he was opening it, he remembered what he was saying to Bai Yexi.
“You can’t continue to eat so little any longer,” he said. “When will your body recover? Today…”
Halfway through his words, Shi Yi’s voice suddenly came from upstairs.
“Xiao Ning.”
Hearing that, Shi Qingning responded.
“Come up.” Shi Yi said.
Shi Qingning went upstairs and found Shi Yi had already gotten out of his cloak. When he saw him coming in, he tilted his head and gestured.
“Close the door.”
Hearing that, Shi Qingning became a little curious.
Does he want me to close the door because he doesn’t want someone else to hear what he wants to say?
Sure enough, as soon as the door was closed, Shi Yi started talking.
“That Bai Yexi, are you going to keep him at home forever?”
“He stays with me at home during the day and goes back at night.” Shi Qingning replied.
“Haven’t you discussed these things with mom before?”
“It’s not a matter of negotiation,” Shi Yi continued as he lowered his eyes and glanced at him, “It’s a matter of people.”
Shi Yi rarely talks much, just enough to make things clear to others.
“You also used to help others when you were a kid. If you saw someone fainted on the side of the road, you would bring them home.”
“It’s not that I don’t allow you to help others. But the two people you picked up were caught stealing money that day and were sent away after that.”
Shi Yi said while loosening his bow tie with one finger.
“We have to be careful of people repaying kindness with evil, understand?”
Shi Qingning blinked and said, “Mint wouldn’t steal anything.”
Having read the novel, he can absolutely guarantee this.
Shi Yi: “I’m afraid he will steal someone else.”
“Ah?” Shi Qingning didn’t understand. “Someone else?”
“…”
Seeing his reaction, Shi Yi confirmed his earlier thoughts of keeping a close eye on his brother and not let him get stolen.
“You cannot judge a person just by their appearance.” Shi Yi said, “You should pay more attention to their character.”
Shi Yi didn’t stay long. After talking to his brother, he just changed his clothes and left.
Shi Qingning was a step slower than him. After his brother left, he stood at the railings on the second floor, supporting his chin with the back of his hand, silently looking at Bai Yexi at the dining table downstairs.
The boy had a pale white complexion with long hair cascading his shoulders. Just by sitting there, he looked like a beautiful painting done by a famous artist.
But the mountains and rivers in the background were too quiet, and even the rays of sunlight were unable to add a bit of warmth to the picture.
Shi Qingning blinked his eyes, and for a moment he even felt that Bai Yexi was about to disappear in the next second.
As if, his connection with this world was going to be completely cut off.
Shi Qingning’s heart tightened, and in a daze, he heard a sound coming from downstairs.
It was Bai Yexi calling him.
“Want some cakes?”
Shi Qingning calmed himself down before replying, “Coming.”
*
Although the news of the investigation of Dexin Hospital only caused some discussion within the medical industry, many people speculated that this might affect the Shimei Group, which had originally planned to cooperate with it.
Although Shimei did not sign a cooperation agreement with the other party and stopped losses in time, no one knows how powerful the Dexin headquarters is and whether it will vent its anger on the other party.
After all, Shimei Group is just a local enterprise in Haicheng, while the main hospital of Dexin is located in the capital city of Yancheng, where there is no shortage of powerful and influential people.
And now, in the medical industry as well as the financial circle, there was a piece of even more explosive news that was being spread widely.
That was the story of Jian Ren being thrown into the fish tank by the eldest son of the Shi family.
The two chose the most luxurious six-star hotel in Haicheng when they met. It was a well-known hotel chain brand that originated in Ao Island 4Also known as Aoshima, the Cat Island in Japan.. People who can dine here are basically people with some wealth, commonly known as the upper class.
As a result, everyone happily watched this wonderful show in the hotel.
After all, it was rarely that one gets to see someone playing with different kinds of fish at such a close range, that too live.
The spread of Jian Ren’s story once again confirmed how much the Shi family doted on their youngest son.
Even those dirty tricks done by Jian Ren were allowed to spread.
However, some people are worried that such a public face-slap may affect the future of the Shi family.
After all, no matter how much of a jerk Jian Ren was, his status as the link between Haicheng and Yancheng’s Medical Company was still there.
At the same time, the news that there was a new person around Young Master Shi also spread quietly.
In the eyes of outsiders who didn’t know the truth, this was more like…
Young Master Shi finding a new love.
Anyway, with the Shi family’s assets, it’s not as if they can’t support a few extra people.
What’s more, it’s just a child in the family who has changed his partner.
Rumors were spreading like fire, but none of them affected the Shi family.
The Shi family was concentrating on preparing for the upcoming banquet for their young master.
Because his reading time was cut, Shi Qingning gradually participated in some other activities.
On the weekend, the Shi family held a small gathering with relatives and friends in the villa, and Shi Qingning and Bai Yexi also went to take part.
The party was not large, and those who came were basically close relatives and friends who had a good relationship with the Shi family.
However, although there were not many people, the appearance of Shi Qingning and Bai Yexi still surprised everyone.
The last time Shi Qingning appeared many people were amazed by his appearance.
This time they were even together.
Their blinding power automatically doubled.
Shi Xiaolin also came and brought her own winter vacation homework list. After returning from Shi Qingning’s place last time, she began to change her mindset and work hard. She took the initiative to go to the winter vacation pre-study class, which she had been reluctant to go to before. When she regularly started to hand in her homework at school, she was even praised by the teacher.
So much so that her mother now praises Shi Qingning in front of everyone, saying that Second Young Master Shi is a role model to learn from and a guiding light, even the results are immediate and can make people improve every day.
Shi Xiaolin’s mother’s promotion was very effective. If Shi Qingning’s health had not been still recovering, he would probably be able to run a tutoring class at home now.
Children want to be affirmed when they make progress, so Shi Xiaolin brought her winter vacation homework list with several columns marked with ‘Excellent’.
But after she met Shi Qingning, this enthusiastic anticipation was instantly diluted a lot.
“…”
Shi Xiaolin looked at the book next to Shi Qingning and then looked at the bookcase next to it.
“Mathematics, Physics, General Science, Chemistry…”
She read out the titles of the books word by word, her face falling.
“Why would someone take the initiative to learn physics in advance?!”
The image of Shi Qingning in Shi Xiaolin’s mind gradually became closer to that of a god.
She covered her eyes with her hands, “Whenever I look at you now, it feels as if there is a divine filter in my eyes.”
Shi Qingning laughed, “These are just some popular science books.”
He flipped the book open and said, “I remember it was recommended for primary and secondary school students…”
“No, no, no!” Shi Xiaolin interrupted him hastily, “Primary and secondary school students say that they don’t want to study it at all!”
She looked around carefully and was relieved to make sure her mother was not nearby.
“You don’t even know, the subject I scored the lowest in was Physics. Sixty-nine points 5Is it because is the passing line??! If I had been given one point more, I wouldn’t have been so angry!” Shi Xiaolin sighed.
“My mom wants to hire three tutors for me. Others have one-on-three tutors, but I have three-on-one tutors, VVIP service!” 6The former maybe one tutor for 3 people and the later, 3 tutors for one person.
Shi Qingning looked at the list in his hand and praised her.
“You did a good job on your physics homework. The teacher even gave you a red flower.”
“That’s the result of my hard work during this period.” Hearing Shi Qinging praise her, Shi Xiaolin felt a little happier.
“I’m still waiting to study hard and continue reading my pirate story.”
She also had a fondness for pirate stories.
“I don’t want to travel through time anymore, but I still have hope of doing some kind of real-life action, cosplay, holographic games, etc….”
As she was talking, Shi Xiaolin caught a glimpse of the tall and thin figure not far away.
It was Bai Yexi, he was helping Madam Shi arrange the gifts.
Even though there were guests all around, Shi Xiaolin still spotted the other person at a glance.
After all, that person’s presence was too eye-catching.
As she watched, she suddenly clenched her fist and hit her palm.
“You two are such a good match!”
Shi Qingning, “Hmm?”
“A perfect addition to my pirate story!”
Shi Xiaolin’s eyes lit up as she spoke.
“One prince and one knight! Then I can capture you and wait for him to rescue you!”
Shi Qingning slowly turned the pages of the book.
“Catch me and then answer my physics questions?”
Shi Xiaolin: “………”
She looked at Shi Qingning resentfully and immediately changed her words in time.
“Then I’ll catch him and then wait for you to be the hero and save him!”
When she said “Catch him”, Bai Yexi was helping to dismantle things.
It seemed that there was some plastic-wrapped round shell that had not been cut properly and could not be opened. Mrs. Shi was about to ask someone to find a knife, but Bai Yexi took the thing silently and held it in his hand.
Then with a ‘click’, he simply crushed that thick plastic shell.
“…”
Shi Xiaolin was dumbfounded.
It was Shi Qingning who frowned.
Bai Yexi’s hands are used to play piano, but he never pays attention to them.
Shi Xiaolin came back to her senses after a while and said softly.
“Forget it, I think I still need to improve myself before catching anyone…”
At the same time, a low and clear male voice interrupted from the side.
“Catch who?”
Shi Qingning looked up and saw a boy about his age, wearing a small suit and a light purple scarf, standing next to him.
“Peacock?” 7Just a pun with words, as his name sounds similar to how peacock is pronounced in Chinese. Also because of his character, you can realize after reading ahead. Looking at him, Shi Xiaolin curled her lips.
“What are you doing here? There’s no special cutlery for you here.”
Seeing that Shi Qingning looked confused, Shi Xiaolin took the initiative to introduce him.
“He is Kong Que, the Que as in Palace, the son of Uncle Kong.”
Shi Qingning nodded, remembering that the Shi family did have an old friend surnamed Kong.
“Hello, I’m Shi Qingning.”
“Oh, you don’t have to be so polite to him.” Shi Xiaolin said.
“He won’t sit here because the sofas here are made of velvet, and not leather. You don’t know, he even uses an Hermès fly swatter 8The one used to kill mosquitoes.”
“That’s because when I go out with you, I have to make up for my reputation with these little things.”
Kong Que said with a smile and sat directly on another single-seater sofa.
“Lest others doubt my taste.”
Shi Xiaolin reacted a few beats late: “???”
And then she roared, “Who are you saying has no taste?!”
Shi Qingning watched them laughing and playing and saw the easy-going interaction between the these two peers of the same age, which he had never experienced before.
Almost subconsciously, he raised his eyes and looked at Bai Yexi.
The boy was standing in the middle of the living room with the hostess of the house.
But even if he stood there alone, Bai Yexi was enough to attract everyone’s attention.
Without those scars, he was naturally dazzling.
All eyes, whether obvious or subtle, were focused on Bai Yexi, but he never raised his eyes and just focused on listening to Madam Shi’s words.
Shi Qingning couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that Mint has adapted well. But he didn’t expect that the next second, the boy suddenly looked up, as if he had caught Shi Qingning’s gaze with an incredible accuracy, and looked back at him instantly.
Shi Qingning was stunned.
On the contrary, Bai Yexi looked calm. He just took out a jar of honey from his side, raised it, and signaled to him.
‘Drink honey water?’
Shi Qingning nodded to him from a distance. When Bai Yexi turned around to get busy once again, he heard the voice beside him say.
“Oh.” Kong Que held his chin with one hand and smiled, “Watching so attentively… huh!”
Xiaolin, who was standing aside, also followed Bai Yexi’s line of sight. As she looked at him, she couldn’t help but touch her hair, “Why does he have so much hair?”
“And it’s still so smooth,” Shi Xiaolin ruffled her hair in annoyance. “My mom just took me to do a hair spa last month, and now it feels rough again.”
She then asked Shi Qingning expectantly.
“Do you know what shampoo he uses? Is it some custom brand?”
Shi Qingning shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
“It’s natural. You can’t envy it.” Kong Que criticized her, “He has a balanced nutrition.”
Hearing that Shi Qingning frowned.
“No, he is slightly malnourished.”
“Ah?” Shi Xiaolin was surprised, “Malnutrition?”
This word is rarely heard among young people nowadays.
“He has been working part-time to earn money. I met him at the bar where I met Jian Ren.” Shi Qingning said.
“Jian Ren also took his anger out on Bai Yexi because of me, so I helped him.”
“Ah…” Shi Xiaolin was stunned. She didn’t expect the background story to be like this. “We thought he was your online friend or something. We were still guessing which family he belonged to.”
No wonder no one could guess Bai Yexi’s background.
It turns out that he was not one among them at all.
“No wonder he’s so thin…” Shi Xiaolin whispered, “It turns out he’s not getting enough nutrition.”
She then looked at Shi Qingning’s wrist and said, “I feel like he’s almost as thin as you, cousin.”
Kong Que also said, “Now that he is with you, he’ll get his replenishment in no time.”
“Not only is he thin,” Shi Qingning pinched his eyebrows, “I’m also worried that he will be retaliated against by people like Jian Ren, not even knowing when he might get hurt.”
Kong Que glanced at him and thought that Jian Ren probably had no chance of survival as he was still lying in the hospital.
But he didn’t mention this, he just said, “Who would dare to pick a fight with him when he’s at Shi’s house?”
Hearing that, Shi Qingning put his fist against his lips.
“He is only here during the day and has to go back and forth twice a day. I am even afraid of his safety on the road.”
Shi Xiaolin said directly, “Then just let him stay!”
As soon as she said this, Kong Que could vaguely sense that something was wrong.
He couldn’t help but think of the rumors outside, about finding a new love… Looking at Shi Qingning again, Kong Que’s eyes became a little strange.
That’s right…
Thinking till here, Kong Que asked tentatively, “Do you want him to stay in the Shi family forever?”
“It would be better this way.” Shi Qingning answered while pondering the same.
“I’m also thinking that if we stay together all day like this, almost inseparable, maybe the chances that he will be in danger will be reduced a lot, and Yexi’s body will also slowly recover.”
…Together all day, inseparable.
There was something increasingly strange about the way Kong Que looked at Shi Qingning.
Has the relationship between them become so good that… they are inseparable?
Shi Xiaolin blinked, looked at Shi Qingning, and then looked at Kong Que.
Kong Que coughed, “So you want to…”
Shi Qingning nodded and said, “I want to go to school with him.”
“Cough, cough, cough!!” This time Kong Que really ended up choking and his face turned red.
“Ha??”
“What’s wrong?”
Shi Qingning was surprised by his reaction and then explained.
“High school students have to go to school for more than twelve hours a day, right? If we live on campus, we can also be together at night.”
…Then they really will be inseparable all day long.
Kong Que raised his hand to cover his mouth and continued coughing.
He began to reflect deeply on his dirty thoughts.
However, Shi Xiaolin, who was standing aside, felt that something was wrong the more she looked at him.
“Why are you coughing? Why such a big reaction?”
“Are you thinking about some messy things again?”
The more Shi Xiaolin talked, the more it seemed possible. Recalling Kong Que’s usual character, she was suddenly startled and could not help but widen her eyes.
“You, you are not thinking that cousin wants to support Bai Yexi, right?!”
After she said this, she saw Shi Qingning’s rare expression of surprise.
Then she also heard a cold and clear male voice coming from behind her.
As soon as they heard this voice, the three-person kitty-party in the corner of the hall instantly became dead silent.
“They are bringing water.”
It was Bai Yexi……….
