Song Kai had been eager to find Song Fan. He had morning training, which is why he hadn’t attended classes. In the afternoon, he had planned to invite Song Fan to dinner, but to his surprise, he received news of her sick leave.

Song Kai wasn’t aware of the severity of Song Fan’s illness, so he rushed to her place. After knocking on the door for an extended period with no response, and getting no answer to his calls, he began to worry. He even contemplated calling the police.

As he was considering his options, a man walked upstairs and their eyes met. Song Kai recognized this person from the last banquet – he had been by Gu Chen’s side.

Su Yang, likewise, recognized Song Kai and greeted him with a smile. “Young Master Song, I’m here to get something for Miss Song,” he explained before unlocking the door with a key.

Song Kai’s mind was in a whirl, and he asked, “Getting something for Song

Fan? Where is she now?”

Su Yang was momentarily unsure of how to explain the situation. It wasn’t ideal to say that Song Fan was living with his young master, but it was the truth.

After some thought, he decided to call back to the villa and get someone to send the phone to Song Fan. “Miss Song, I met Fourth Young Master Song at your door. You should be the one to tell him about the incident.”

When Song Fan answered, she was equally surprised to hear that Song Kai was at her doorstep. However, she saw no issue with the current arrangement and informed him, “Just tell him that I’m staying with Gu Chen for a while.”

Before she could hang up, Song Kai’s frantic voice came through the phone. “What do you mean by staying at Gu Chen’s place for a while? I want to see you now!”

Upon hearing Song Kai’s tone, Song Fan realized she couldn’t refuse without fueling his imagination. She agreed, “Then I’ll have to trouble Secretary Su to bring him over.”

Su Yang accepted her request and ended the call. Gu Chen, who had been occupied with something else by the bedside, glanced over and asked, “Is it Song Kai?”

He had overheard the appellation ‘Fourth Young Master Song’, prompting his question.

“Yes, it’s him. He’s insistent on coming to see me,” Song Fan replied impatiently. “I don’t understand what there is to see.”

Song Fan showed little concern for her injuries. To her, as long as she survived, everything else was manageable. Her wounds would heal with time.

If it weren’t for these people intervening, Song Fan wouldn’t have requested sick leave. She could have continued attending her classes without any issues.

As she pondered how she was compelled to stay in bed for recovery, irritation surged within her. After lying there for an indeterminate period, she turned over and sighed.

Gu Chen naturally heard her sigh. He picked up an apple from the bedside table and started peeling it. Song Fan’s gaze was fixated on the apple peel, eagerly awaiting it to break. However, to her disappointment, the peel remained intact.

Song Fan, who had anticipated witnessing a small amusement, couldn’t help but feel slightly let down. Taking the apple, she took a hearty bite, inadvertently causing an unexpected incident. The apple’s juice flowed down, wetting Song Fan’s shirt.

Thankfully, she was only wearing a jacket with a vest beneath it. She began to remove the wet garment to change into something dry.

However, just as she was halfway through taking off her clothes, a startled cry emanated from the doorway. Song Kai hurried over and promptly covered her clothing. “Why are you undressing in front of others?” he exclaimed.

Song Fan looked at Song Kai in confusion and replied, “I have another layer underneath. This is more than what I wear when I go swimming.”

Only then did Song Kai notice the vest, and he turned crimson with embarrassment. His body language betrayed his extreme shyness, evident to everyone in the room.

Xu Yuan, who stood at the door, quipped, “It’s only natural for a brother to be concerned about his sister.”

It was only at this moment that Gu Chen realized all of them were at the entrance and had witnessed Song Fan in the process of changing clothes.

Xiao Lei entered with a grin, addressing Gu Chen, “Who would’ve thought you’d experience a day like this? In the past, you’d hide a hundred meters away at the mere sight of a woman.”

The others also had playful smiles on their faces, each one sharing in the light-hearted teasing. However, when they met Gu Chen’s icy stare, they quickly fell silent, deciding not to provoke him further.

Song Kai frowned as he was concerned about Song Fan’s current state. “How did you end up like this on a weekend? You should come back home with me.

We have someone at home who can take care of you.”

Song Fan declined his offer, stating, “It may look worse than it is, but it’s nothing serious. I’ll probably be back to normal in a few days.”

Song Kai persisted, “Then you can return to your rented apartment. I’ll move in and take care of you. It’s better than staying here.”

Unable to hold back, Xu Yuan interjected, “That doesn’t sound right. What is wrong with this place?”

Song Kai shot him a cold glance.. “It’s not appropriate for my sister to live with a man!”
