He would never discuss it with the second and third seniors; if he did, they would surely mock him with their taunting skills.
He resolved to handle it alone.
Raphael pondered, his expression turning melancholic.
It was a pity that his little junior sister was no longer around. With her computer skills, she would have easily cracked the encrypted phone number.
The second senior was indeed slow, unable to even find the cause of the explosion.
Raphael furrowed his brows.
However, he had to admit that the encounter with the male ghost earlier had evoked a strangely familiar sense of oppression.
Just wait, this male ghost was doomed!
Meanwhile, Si Fuqing hadnât yet returned to the âYouth With Youâ training base when she received a phone call.
âMiss Si, is it?â The voice from the property management sounded anxious over the phone. âThereâs trouble. Someone upstairs forgot to turn off the stove while cooking, and now half the building is on fire!â
Si Fuqing paused for a moment, surprisingly calm. âMy apartment is on fire?â
âYes! The fire department is here,â the property management stuttered. âMiss Si, if you have any valuables, you should come quickly. Weâre contacting the affected residents to discuss compensation.â
Si Fuqing let out a slow breath. âAlright, Iâm on my way.â
Arriving at the apartment complex, she found a crowd gathered below.
Her apartment on the seventh floor was already pitch black.
âMiss Si!â The property manager saw her, hurried over with a wry smile. âI guess everything inside is burned up. You canât live here anymore, can you?â
âI donât have any valuables.â Si Fuqing lifted her chin slightly. âThis place is uninhabitable now, isnât it?â
âDefinitely not habitable for a while,â the property manager said, wiping sweat from his brow. âMiss Si, weâve contacted the landlord, but Iâm afraid youâll need to find a new place.â
âUnderstood.â Si Fuqing slowly walked out of the complex. She squatted down and picked up a stick, drawing circles in the dirt.
A screeching sound of brakes.
A white car stopped at the entrance of the complex.
âMiss Si?â Feng San got out of the car, utterly astonished. âWhat are you doing here?â
The back door of the car also opened.
Yu Xiheng tilted his head.
The girl squatted on the ground, knees together, a small figure huddled in on herself.
Yu Xiheng lifted his eyes, noticing the thick smoke drifting nearby.
He withdrew his gaze and extended a hand towards the girl on the ground, his words carrying weight, âGet in the car.â
Si Fuqing lifted her head, and after a few seconds, she placed her hand in his.
Yu Xiheng pulled her into the car.
His palm was still cool, but much warmer than their first encounter.
âYou see, my treatment is effective,â Si Fuqing pinched his hand. âYour body is starting to warm up.â
He just smiled back at her.
âSorry, sorry, boss, believe me, I have no improper thoughts towards you!â Si Fuqing quickly released his hand. âReally, in the eyes of us doctors, youâre just a piece of meat.â
Feng San:
He pretended not to hear, driving back to the villa.
Yu Tang was playing games inside the house.
Upon learning that Si Fuqingâs apartment was burned, he hugged her:
âQingqing, youâre really unfortunate. Just stay here, no one will say anything.â
Si Fuqing rubbed her temples and sighed, âIt is quite unfortunate. It was not easy to find such an affordable rental.â
Yu Xiheng spoke softly, âThereâs hot water. Go change.â
Si Fuqing nodded, took a new set of clothes from Yu Tang, and went upstairs.
âUncle Nine, this is a great opportunity,â Yu Tang whispered excitedly. âClose to the water, we get the moon first. With me as your wingman, Qingqing will definitely be persuaded to join our home!â
Feng Sanâs hearing was extraordinary.
He clearly heard this remark, his mouth twitching, âMiss Yu Tang, your choice of wordsâ¦â
It sounded too much like a man luring a young girl.
It was merely a more intimate boss-subordinate relationship.
âWingman?â Yu Xiheng gave Yu Tang a once-over. âIt seems youâre unclear about your own role.â
Deflated, Yu Tang could only return to her room.
Si Fuqing quickly finished drying her hair and changing her clothes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She also took the opportunity to check Yu Xihengâs leg again.
Hearing this, Feng San also became excited, âThatâs great!â
âBut we still need to prepare some medicinal ingredients,â Si Fuqing looked up.
âBoss, youâ¦â
Just then, the man lowered his head.
Their proximity was closer than ever before.
Their breaths intertwined.
Si Fuqing could see his deep, phoenix eyes, narrow and long, with the corners tilting upwards.
There was a moment of enchantment.
She observed him carefully and then said, âBoss, your eyes are really beautiful, wow, theyâre like light amber, resembling tourmaline.â
And how could a man have such long eyelashes?
It was almost unfair!
Yu Xiheng slightly lowered his eyelashes, his expression unchanged, âYour way of complimenting people has indeed evolved into something more creative.â
Previously, common folk couldnât look him in the eye, let alone speak to him so directly.
âThatâs because youâre so handsome, boss. Iâll take a rest.â Si Fuqing stretched lazily, leaning back on the sofa. âI still have to go to the training camp later.â Yu Xiheng was flipping through a book beside her.
A few seconds later, steady breathing sounds emanated, and his shoulders relaxed.
The manâs hand paused.
âMiss Si has fallen asleep,â Feng San expressed surprise. âIt seems sheâs really exhausted these days. Brother Nine, Iâll go to Linjiang Pavilion and invite a chef over.â
Yu Xiheng nodded, âYes, go ahead, make some nourishing soup.â
Running continuous shows and even dealing with a Master of Yin-Yang on the plane, it was a drain on both her spirit and body.
But he seldom heard her complain of fatigue.
Even the last time she said she wanted to lie down and be waited on, he could tell she was just talking, as she immediately went back to work the next second.
âAlright,â Feng San nodded. âIâll go now.â
The villa was very quiet, with only two people left in the living room.
Yu Xiheng pondered for two seconds, then slowly stood up, bending over to pick up the girl on the sofa.
She was still asleep, undisturbed.
Yu Xiheng went upstairs, placing her in the bedroom and covering her with a blanket.
As he turned to leave, Si Fuqing turned over, kicking the blanket off the bed.
After kicking the blanket off, she curled up again, becoming a small bundle.
Yu Xiheng paused, bending down to pick up the blanket that had fallen to the floor, and covered her again.
Seeing her restless sleep, he slightly secured the blanket.
He sighed lightly in his heart.
It was only in moments like this that she truly seemed like a young girl.
He went to the window, pulled the curtains, and then retreated from the room.
In the neighboring room.
Yu Tang continued playing games, receiving a call from Yu Yao. She was somewhat reluctant, but still answered: âHello, Third Brother.â âTangtang,â Yu Yao paused.. âDo you know NINE the God? Is he in Lin City?â
