Chi Yining nodded, inserted the straw, then slowly cradled the strawberry juice in his hands and savored it.
The sweet-and-sour juice nearly made his face pucker.
He had gone these past few days without drinking juice or eating fruit, almost forgetting the nutrients the human body needed replenished.
As he drank, he looked around Yan Guiyun's room. Even with the juice, he could still smell the room's faint fragrance. It was fresh, probably a cedar scent.
The room was just like Yan Guiyun himself, kept meticulously neat and tidy.
The whir of a hair dryer came from the bathroom just then.
Apart from being with his grandparents in his previous life, Chi Yining had never stayed in someone else's space without feeling nervous at all.
Did Yan Guiyun have some kind of magic?
Or was it because the sourness had disappeared, leaving only sweet strawberry juice now?
"What are you thinking about?" Yan Guiyun walked back from the bathroom.
Chi Yining said, "Nothing."
The way Yan Guiyun looked in a bathrobe-both his chest muscles and the muscle definition of his exposed calves were far too perfect!
After taking out the first-aid kit, Yan Guiyun looked at Chi Yining, who was staring straight at him, and chuckled a few times. "Come back to earth."
Chi Yining had not realized he had become so engrossed in looking at someone else. He was so embarrassed his toes could have dug out a three-bedroom apartment.
"S-sorry."
After setting down the first-aid kit, Yan Guiyun sat beside him and looked at him. "It's fine. You can admire me if you want."
At that, Chi Yining's eyes lit up despite his expressionless face. "I... I can?"
"Of course. But from now on, whenever you get to choose a teammate, you have to pick me~ Then I suppose I could reluctantly model for you..." Yan Guiyun said, looking at him with a completely serious expression.
"Why me?"
"Because out of everyone here, I feel most comfortable with you. Besides, I didn't choose to come on this dating show. My family forced me to." Yan Guiyun spoke to Chi Yining with some helplessness.
"Then, then why didn't you resist? It's not like you can't afford the contract termination fee."
Even Chi Yining himself was a little surprised that he had said so much in one breath.
He had never expected to be able to speak fluently in front of Yan Guiyun!! Unbelievable!
Yan Guiyun said, "That's the first time Xiao Chi has said more than ten words today."
Chi Yining said, "You haven't answered me yet."
Yan Guiyun said, "Sorry, Xiao Chi. May I call you Xiao Chi or Xiao Ning?"
Chi Yining thought Xiao Chi should be more suitable than Xiao Ning, but Xiao Chi also made it feel as though Yan Guiyun was addressing a subordinate, so he decided very seriously, "Yining."
Yan Guiyun said, "I think a name more suited to friends might be better."
"Then Xiao Yi." Chi Yining gave in. Did this guy still remember he was supposed to treat my wound?
Yan Guiyun raised an eyebrow at that, then nodded in satisfaction. "Xiao Yi. Not bad."
Chi Yining said, "What about you? What should I call you?"
Yan Guiyun said, "Brother Yan."
Chi Yining nodded. "Okay, Brother Yan."
"Mm, let's treat your wound."
Satisfied, Yan Guiyun opened the first-aid kit and took out disinfectant, ointment, gauze, and cotton swabs.
Then he had him lift his injured elbow.
"It's all red, swollen, and inflamed. Bear with it even if it hurts."
Yan Guiyun probably did not know how he had gotten the wound, so he did not ask either. He simply lowered his head and slowly disinfected it.
"Hiss..."
