A clear, soft popping sound rang out in the air. A slight stinging pain in his collarbone brought Wen He back to his senses. He pushed Ji Chi and ran to the bathroom mirror, scrutinizing himself in the mirror.
Small red dots appeared on his collarbone. Wen He pouted, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
Ji Chi... Ji Chi too far! He actually bit so hard!
He dares to act like this now... Will he abuse me after we get married?!
Remembering Ji Chi's terrible temper, Wen He suddenly realized that she had actually fallen for a bad guy...!
Then... is my life over...?
Should she still like him... Wen He didn't want to like a bad guy.
Ji Chi clicked his tongue lightly, savoring the wonderful moment. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, held the cigarette between his fingers, and walked into the bathroom, resting his head on Wen He's shoulder.
"You cried?"
Ji Chi Wen He He's puffed-out cheek with a gloating expression, but Wen He turned his head away and snatched the unlit cigarette from his hand, throwing it into the trash can.
"You can't smoke in my room..." the boy's voice trembled with a hint of grievance.
Ji Chi was itching to see this; the more pitiful the other person looked, the more excited he became.
"I don't smoke, I just hold it in my mouth," Ji Chi pulling him into her arms and kissing him passionately.
Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled like a flood, and soft sobs echoed in the bathroom.
The rushing water in the sink drowned out all other sounds.
With her swollen lips, Wen He nestled in Ji Chi's arms, inhaling his familiar and comforting scent, and gradually drifted off to sleep.
Ji Chi carefully examined Wen He's wounds. After confirming that she was alright, he quietly left the bed and returned to his room to wash up.
What difference does it make if I'm not there? Jiang Ye is still someone without a formal title.
After taking a shower, Ji Chi lay back down in Wen He's bed.
Seemingly sensing the movement beside her, Wen He pouted and gently pulled the other person back into sleep.
The next morning, Wen He slowly opened his eyes and carefully withdrew his arm from the other person's waist and abdomen.
The red marks on my collarbone were much more pronounced than yesterday.
With only half of his collar covered, Wen He stormed into the room, intending to pull back Ji Chi's blankets. However, upon seeing the dark circles under Ji Chi's eyes and remembering how Ji Chi had been busy until midnight for the past few days, he gradually calmed down.
In the end, he could only tiptoe out of the room...
Wen He slowly walked downstairs, kicking the air with his feet. He couldn't be angry with Ji Chi... Ji Chi had already worked so hard.
" Xiao He? You're awake?" Duan Yueyang greeted her as he cooked congee with preserved egg and lean pork.
"Good morning, Yangyang."
"I've made some light porridge, would you like some?"
"Okay, thank you, Yangyang." Wen He walked into the kitchen and helped out.
Duan Yueyang looked up and his gaze fell directly on Wen He's collarbone, on the red mark half-hidden by her collar, and on her thoughtful eyes hidden beneath her long eyelashes.
Those marks don't look like mosquito bites.
Duan Yueyang served her a large bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, saying, " Xiao He, you're too thin, you need to eat more."
"Thank you... it's a little too much."
"It's alright, you should drink more, consider it a way to nourish your body."
Doctor Wang said he needs to take care of his health... so he should drink a little more.
"Good."
The two sat together at the dining table, drinking porridge. Ji Chi stretched and came down the stairs, looking at the little figure who was peacefully drinking his porridge at the table.
"What would you like to drink?" Ji Chi pulled out a chair and sat directly opposite Wen He, taking the spoon from his hand and putting the porridge in his mouth to drink.
"That's what I ate..." Wen He muttered as the other person snatched his spoon away.
Seeing that the two were acting naturally and in a close atmosphere, Duan Yueyang had his answer. He quietly finished the last mouthful of porridge and left the two of them alone.
"How could I..." Ji Chi was about to blurt out a lewd remark when Wen He glared at him and secretly stomped on his foot...
"Shall I wash you?"
"Mmm..." Wen He swallowed softly, took the cleaned spoon from the other person, and started drinking again.
Ji Chi was a little angry and couldn't wait to end this lousy show so he could bring the person into his home as soon as possible, and then he could do whatever he wanted with her.
Duan Yueyang was honest; his bowl was full of porridge. Wen He drank about half a bowl before she couldn't drink anymore. Ji Chi took his bowl and finished the rest of the porridge in a few gulps.
I followed the other person back and forth, and finally returned to the second floor.

[Well...]
[I've seen it in their eyes—they're dating!]
[I saw it... Xiao He's collarbone, is that a hickey?]
[I don't understand some things...]
[9999999]
The most ruthless people are those who leave a string of numbers and then walk away.
[These two are definitely dating. Based on the evidence, they even kissed. They just didn't go too far for the sake of the show.]
[What about Lawyer Jiang? This male lead is really disgusting.]
[I agree. It's disgusting that she's dating Lawyer Jiang even though she's already with Male Fifth. Isn't she just stringing him along?]
[I agree. I used to ship them both, but now I feel a bit disgusted.]
[Are you kidding me? How are you sure they're dating? And Xiao He hasn't done anything inappropriate with Lawyer Jiang, has she? Isn't it all Lawyer Jiang who's been the one making the effort?]
[From what I've seen over the years, the male lead hasn't shown any special interest in Jiang Ye. When they're together, Wen He hasn't done anything. And the other day at the aquarium, when Lawyer Jiang tried to put his arm around Xiao He's waist, she pushed him away, right?]
[ Xiao He even said she wanted to split the bill, is that like stringing the other person along? What do you think she's trying to gain by stringing the other person along? I ask you, what is it? She just has a mouth and starts spreading rumors.]
[Being indecisive between two people is disgusting.]
[Yes, yes, yes, you're right! Good, good!]
As expected, the comments section erupted into another argument.
Wen He also received a message from Sweet Sweet Strawberry at this moment.
Sweet Sweet Strawberry: Sorry, I haven't logged into this account for the past few days.
Sweet Sweet Strawberry: It's good that you've figured it out. Have you confessed your feelings? Are you together?
Sweet Sweet Strawberry: You even kissed him? Are you a top?
He He He: I am 1
He He He: Do I have to confess my feelings to be together?
He He He: We kissed but haven't confessed yet.
Sweet Sweet Strawberry: Kissing before you're even together?
Sweet Sweet Strawberry: Isn't he a jerk?! You can only kiss someone when you're in a relationship!
Sweet Sweet Strawberry: Also, are you really a 1?
Sweet Sweet Strawberry began to doubt the other person's words for the first time... They didn't seem like a top at all!
He He He: I am number 1.
He He He: Does not confessing make a guy a jerk?
He He He: Then I can't be a scumbag, I have to be a good man.
The other party didn't reply again... Wen He added another sentence.
He He He: I really am a 1...
