When their skin touched, they trembled.
Shi Yong hurriedly let go of her hand. "Ahem... well have you applied anything on your wounds?"
Xing'er's cheeks were flushed. She shyly withdrew her hand. "No, I don't have the money to buy it."
"I'll buy it for you." Without saying anything else, Shi Yong led Xing'er directly into the pharmacy.
"What else do you want? I will buy it for you." Shi Yong was now very pleased with himself. When he spoke, he was as confident as he ever could be.
Xing'er's eyes sparkled as she watched from the side. After a long while, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I saw a little white dress a few days ago..."
Shi Yong bought Xing'er some clothing. The little girl was so happy that she almost jumped. That happy look of hers made her seem a little silly, but she was so cute that it could make every man's heart flutter.
"Sir, let me treat you to a meal!" Xing'er hugged the clothes and blinked her big eyes at Shi Yong, "I know that you don't lack money, but I can't ask you to do these for free. I cook pretty well. In the future, if you don't want to eat out or order takeout, I'll cook for you."
Shi Yong wanted to refuse, but when he saw Xing'er's fervent and burning gaze, he immediately nodded subconsciously. "Okay."
Just as Xing'er said, her cooking skills were indeed good.
In the small, shabby rented room, laid on a small wooden table was a feast. Amidst the heat from the food, there was a sense of peace and tranquility.
Shi Yong ate two big bowls of rice and kept praising Xing'er's cooking skills.
Qu Li never cooked for him.
That woman only knew how to ask him for money, then splurge on shipping sprees or go to the beauty salon.
Although Qu Li wasn't bad looking, when Shi Yong saw Xing'er's youthful face in front of him, his heart still fluttered for no reason—if it was Xing'er who lived with him...
There would be a hot meal waiting for him when he came home every day. Xing'er would not insult and mock him all day long. Such a gentle and obedient girl, she would definitely treat him well.
Shi Yong felt his body heating up bit by bit.
Xing'er stood up to clean up the dishes. The rented house was small, so when she stood up, the space suddenly became even more cramped.
Xing'er's curvy figure was fully exposed in front of Shi Yong.
Being so close, Shi Yong could even smell the faint fragrance of shampoo on the woman.
Just as Xing'er was about to pick up the chopsticks in front of Shi Yong, he pulled her into an embrace.
"Sir..." Xing'er was shocked at first, then she blushed. She pushed Shi Yong away, half-shy, half-anxious.
However, that little bit of strength seemed to be urging Shi Yong instead of rejecting his move.
Shi Yong could see that Xing'er did not have any intention of resisting. He picked up the woman in his arms, got up, and entered the bedroom.

In the car parked next to the convenience store outside the rental building, two people who were monitoring the situation looked at each other and nodded.
"That was fast. I thought it was not easy to take the bait."
After all, Shi Yong was a principled man in the hair salon.
"Alright, let's go back and report our findings."
The car slowly started and left the street.

Night fell.
Qin Yu heard the sound of doors opening and immediately leaped from the bed.
The door had just opened when Ning Chen saw a huge human-shaped pendant attached to his body.
"You are back? Xiao Yu missed you so much!"
Ning Chen held Qin Yu who was hanging on his body like a koala and walked to the bed before putting her down.
"Is it too boring to stay at home? How about I take you out to play tomorrow?"
"Aren't you going to work tomorrow?" Qin Yu's eyes widened happily. "Can you really go out to play? Are you lying to me?"
"When have I ever lied to you? Today, I finished all my things, so I came back a little late. I can accompany you for the whole day tomorrow." Ning Chen leaned over and planted a kiss on Qin Yu's forehead.
Qin Yu didn't expect Ning Chen to be so thoughtful and considerate. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "You can do your own things. I can play with myself."
"That won't do." Ning Chen rubbed his wife's head hard, "I heard from Ah Bi. On the way to the company, you leaned against the car window and looked outside with that pitiful look. In Ah Bi's words, you were like a little hamster in a cage. How could I bear to let my little cutie stay at home all day?"
"How could you have spied on me!" Qin Yu grumbled unhappily.
"I didn't. You know Ah Bi well. She told me herself."
Qin Yu knew that Ning Chen would not lie to her. Ah Bi must have seen that she was too bored at home, so she told Ning Chen about this matter.
Everyone was so concerned about her.
Qin Yu hooked her arm around Ning Chen's neck and said with a smile, "Alright, Alright. Then I trust you. Where are we going tomorrow? With our identities, wouldn't it be inconvenient if we went out?"
"Where do you want to go, Xiao Yu?" Ning Chen patiently brushed Qin Yu's hair off her face and asked gently.
