"..."

Rio hugged the computer, sat cross-legged on the sofa in the hotel suite, tapped the keyboard with his fingertips, and stared at the strings of codes that jumped out quickly on the screen. After a minute, his eyelids did not blink of.

"pat-"

There was movement from the entrance, followed by footsteps from outside the corridor, getting closer.

"I thought you weren't coming back tonight."

He opened his mouth abruptly, but his gaze remained on the computer screen without lifting his eyelids.

Cheng Feichen ignored it, passed by the small living room, and walked straight towards the bathroom.

After a while, there was the sound of water from the bathroom.

No response was received, and Rio has long been accustomed to this situation, and continued to immerse himself in coding.

Two 10 minutes later.

The door of the bathroom opened, and Cheng Feichen came out wrapped in a bathrobe, wiping the water from his hair with a towel with one hand, his eyes were half downcast, his face was as cold and indifferent as ever.

At this time, Rio just finished typing the last line of code, and the sound of typing on the keyboard stopped abruptly.

Looking up at the person who just came out of the bathroom, although the other person's surface state is the same as usual, it somehow gives him the illusion that he is in a good mood.

"Carr, what have you been doing?"

Unable to restrain the curiosity in his heart, he opened his mouth and asked, his gaze still keeping on looking at the other person's face.

"I went to see someone."

"Miss of the Xia family?"

"Ah."

He was puzzled at first, but after hearing his answer, Rio can be sure that the other party is really in a good mood now.

Although he had expected it, but faced with this situation, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

What kind of crime is this?

"I heard from the housekeeper that Miss Xia sent someone to deliver something to you this morning, really?"

"Ah."

"What is it?"

After waiting for a while, Rio didn't wait for the next sentence. When he saw the other party's brows slightly frowned, Rio realized that he had been too fast and overstepped the rules.

Cheng Feichen has a slight obsession with cleanliness and attaches great importance to personal privacy. From the appearance to the essence, it is not difficult to see that he is a sensitive and insecure person.

This kind of person is very vigilant, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter their inner world; once they enter, they will not let go.

Terribly paranoid.

"Okay, that's not what I should ask." Rio waved his hand and immediately admitted his mistake.

Cheng Feichen didn't speak, his eyes were extremely deep, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking, but what happened next was something that Rio never thought of.

"It's a ring."

After speaking, he raised his left hand, and a men's ring in retro style appeared on the position of the middle finger, which looked ordinary under the light.

Rio had sharp eyes and immediately recognized this ring. It belonged to a certain prince of country F in the last century, and it was said to bring good luck.

It's just that shouldn't this thing be in a museum in country F?

The other party seemed to have guessed his doubts, and explained in a rare way: "The same style is customized."

After hearing this, Rio suddenly realized.

However, he was also full of puzzles about Xia Ning's actions. Could it be that the eldest lady of the Xia family really didn't know what giving a ring represented in the tradition of Country E?

Before he had time to think about it, Cheng Feichen's voice sounded again.

"If you can, that's fine."

When he said this, his voice was very low, as if he was muttering to himself.

But no matter who he was speaking to, the mere fact that these words came out of Cheng Feichen's mouth was already shocking.

Just because in the tradition of country E, a woman presents a ring to a man, which represents a lover.

And this lover is not that lover.

"Carr, are you okay?"

Rio couldn't believe that this kind of words would come from Cheng Feichen's mouth. Such a person with aloofness carved in his bones would willingly lower his status and become an unworthy lover?
Cheng Feichen frowned and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Carr, forget it, I can't influence your decision." Rio shook his head with a helpless expression, "As a friend who has known you for ten years, I still want to remind you that if you are too serious, you will lose."

"..."

Cheng Feichen frowned displeasedly, before he could speak, he heard the other party's voice continue.

"Forget it, as long as you are happy, maybe Miss Xia doesn't understand the traditional culture of country E."

And this time, the other side.

Xia Ning was lying on the bed, tossing and turning because of a series of events that happened during the day, unable to fall asleep.

"Ah-"

Suddenly his nose itched, and a sneeze came out suddenly.

"..."

And which kid is speaking ill of her behind her back?

……

overnight.

Internet public opinion was detonated again.

Waking up from sleep, I glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. The hour hand on it had already pointed to the number ten.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes and listening to the silence in his ears, Xia Ning felt inexplicably dazed and took a while to get up.

Walked into the washroom for simple tidying up, then stepped on the cotton mop and walked downstairs.

Glancing at the hall, there was no one there, and the huge house seemed extremely deserted.

When I came to this world, I was used to being accompanied by others, but suddenly there was no one by my side, and my heart felt inexplicably empty.

He stretched out his hand and patted his face, suspecting that he hadn't fully woken up yet, so this strange feeling appeared in his mind, but after several times of pats, the empty feeling still didn't dissipate, so he stopped the movement of his hands.

He let out a long breath of foul air.

Let yourself cheer up, there are so many things to deal with, emo shit!

Sure enough, I can't spoil myself, and I have become hypocritical.

She said this to herself over and over in her heart until she walked into the dining room and saw Xia Yunshen walking out from the direction of the kitchen holding a cup with a lid.

She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was delusional.

"Pig, come here yet?"

Xia Yun's deep and deep voice reached his ears, pulling Xia Ning's thoughts back to reality.

"what are you doing?"

Her eyes fell on the cup in the other party's hand, and her eyes were full of doubts.

"If you have bad eyesight, go and treat it, and hurry up and eat it."

Xia Yunshen came over, put the cup on the huanghuali wood dining table, and said angrily.

Sitting on the chair, staring at the cup in front of her, she lifted the lid full of suspicion, and the strong smell of medicine rushed into her nostrils. Seeing the dark soup in the cup, her brows were already wrinkled into a hill.

"Are you sure you can drink this stuff?"

"I asked Lin Yi to prescribe the medicine for you. I boiled it for three hours. You should drink it while it's hot!"

"No, I refuse!"

Xia Ning looked at the "black water" in the glass with distaste, even the strands of her hair were written with resistance.

"hurry up!"

Xia Yunshen's tone was tough, and judging by his posture, there was no room for negotiation.

"..."

Xia Ning didn't know how she drank it, the weird smell lingered in her mouth, and it couldn't go away for a long time, making her feel nauseous.

I put a piece of concentrated mint in my mouth, and the strong stimulation rushed straight to my forehead, and I managed to suppress the nausea.

Sitting on the seat, with her chin resting on her palm, she glanced at the food brought by the maids. She had no appetite, so she waved her hand to ask them to take the food away.

"Where did Shu Yi go?"
