Are you concerned about me?

"What are you doing with my body? Don't worry, when I sleep, tomorrow will definitely be full of energy." He avoided answering her words, but at the end, he could not help but cough lightly.

She heard his slightly more rapid breathing, and somehow she thought something was wrong. "You're in your room?" she asked.

"Of course, your room isn't for me. How about we stay together today?" He seemed to be in a good mood, constantly joking with her.

"Sure …" He didn't expect her to agree so quickly, which caused him to be stunned.

In the end, she continued, "No wonder, Si Lianye, it's fine if you want to enter my room to dream."

Not only was Si Lianye not angry at what she heard, she started laughing instead, "Your temper is getting weirder and weirder, it can't be that you have reached the stage of menopause, right?"

"You're a menopause, your whole family is." She was furious.

"Alright, I understand. It seems that your body has recovered quite well. Your voice is so loud that it sounds like you're talking at my door."

"Of course, because I'm right in front of your door. Hurry up and open the door!" she said savagely on the phone.

"What?" Lying on the bed, he was stunned. Did he hear it right? Did she come to see him on her own accord?

Happiness came too fiercely, causing him to lose his ability to react in an instant.

"I say, aren't you going to open the door?" she said angrily at the door. 'Is it easy for a patient to go down? If she hadn't thought that he was sick because of her, she wouldn't have bothered to be so tired.

Of course, this was a reason she had found for herself. As for a more profound reason, she didn't want to think about it.

After a while, the door opened and Si Lianye stood at the doorway with a face full of shock as she looked at her: "You really came."

"Nonsense." She snappily walked in and looked at the arrangements around her. She then looked at his expression and felt relieved. Even though his face was a little haggard, his eyes were still lively, so his condition was not too serious.

She looked around and asked, "I heard that someone said that you didn't eat that night, so I came to see you. I thought you were very sick, but now it seems that you are fine."

Hearing this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Who told you I didn't eat anything?"

"You ate it?" Her mouth was wide open in surprise. She looked so cute that he wanted to kiss her.

He restrained his impulse and said, "Of course, I've eaten quite a lot. Do you want me to count the number of things I've eaten?"

"No need." She quickly waved her hand and roughly understood that she was deceived by Sister-in-Law once.

He was truly depressed. If he had known that Zhang Xuan would come running over here so recklessly, he would have been even happier. He thought that Zhang Xuan might have some ulterior motives towards him.

She snappily said, "I thought you were very sick, so I came to see you. But now it seems that I was worried. You rest a bit and I'll go back."

"Wait." He quickly grabbed her hand. "Wait. Since you're here, don't go back so quickly."

She turned back and glanced at his bed.

There was a laptop on his bedside table, and it looked as if he knew what he was doing after the call.

He was a workaholic, and she had known him for so long.

With a rare hint of embarrassment, he said, "I was just looking around."

She snorted. "Whatever. The body's yours anyway."

His eyes lit up, and he held on tightly to her hand, unwilling to let go. "Are you worried about me?"

"Nonsense, who's worrying about you. I just feel a little guilty because I caused you to get sick. But now I see that you still have the mood to work, so it's fine. I'm going."

As he was about to leave, he realized that his hand was being held tightly and refused to let go. He could not help but glare at him angrily. "Let go, or I'll call for someone."

"You can shout, but if you call for someone, then it's my loss." With a smile, he didn't take her words to heart at all. Instead, he pulled her down to a seat.

Of course she didn't want to. How could she not be able to withstand his strength? With a gentle push, she was pushed down onto the bed.

"Last time when I went out, I saw a very pretty little thing that I thought would suit you. Do you like it?"

He went to the side and opened a drawer. He took out a small box and placed it in front of her.

She glanced at him and really wanted to take the chance to leave. However, seeing that his sincere eyes couldn't move at all, she hesitantly took it over. "Si Lianye, I don't like these gaudy things."

Looking at the appearance of the box, she could guess what was inside. It was mostly jewelry, but she wasn't interested in it herself, so she felt that it was a waste that it was bought at such a expensive price, just like the time she went shopping with Xiao Rou. If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Rou insisted on going, she wouldn't have looked at it.

Si Lianye laughed: "Let's see if you like it or not." As she spoke, she seemed confident that she would like it.

She looked at him suspiciously, and reached out her hand to unbuckle the clasp. Immediately, a warm ray of light flashed in front of her eyes. This pair of earrings looked very low key but did not lose its elegance.

"I noticed last time that you seemed to be interested in pearls, so when I saw the earrings I thought you might like them, so I bought them." His voice was very magnetic as he leisurely whispered into her ear.

She couldn't resist reaching out to pick up the earring. Upon closer inspection, she found that the pearls before her had the same silvery-white luster as ordinary pearls at first glance, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that the pair of pearls were not perfectly round in shape, but rather in the shape of droplets of water. Furthermore, the color also seemed to have traces of red, and was not the traditional shape of pearls.

"How is it? Did you see the benefits?" He proudly said, "I've seen too many things like pearls, but I've never seen anything with this shape and color. At first glance, I felt that it was very suitable for you. Do you want to try wearing it?"

The more she looked, the more she liked it. Pearls were a typical traditional classical ornament of China, which was different from the foreign styles that required high profile, shiny, eye-catching, and eye-catching. It was a low-key type of ornament, one that could not help but look again and again before discovering the beauty of it.

She had liked this kind of jewelry since she was young, but she had never talked about it with anyone before. She never thought that Si Lianye would actually be able to see through it and even give her a pearl earring that was obviously expensive.

In fact, the value was secondary. What was hard to come by was the effort he put in for himself.

She felt that the disgust she felt for him had faded a little.

Danger, Shen Xiran, if you continue to stay like this, you will lose your last line of defense.

In her heart, there was a voice constantly clamoring, but at this moment, her reason had already been defeated by her feelings.

She took the earring and said to him, "Thank you, I really like it, but …" She gently placed the earring into the box, then firmly placed the box in front of him.

"I can't accept it." She signaled with her eyes for him to catch her, but he wouldn't budge, so she put the box aside.

"Why?" His eyes were a little hurt as he asked, "Don't you like it?"

"No, I like it a lot. I have never seen such a special and beautiful pearl before. However, I cannot accept it. Thank you for your kind intentions." She pursed her lips. She knew that he didn't want to hear her say these things, but she still said them out loud.

His eyes were filled with disappointment. "If you really like it, then why didn't you accept it? "Let me tell you, its price is definitely in the range of your imagination. It's not a diamond, not a gem. The price is very low, so you have no other burdens taking it …"

He was about to continue, but she stopped him with a small hand on his lips.

I know, thank you, I appreciate your kindness, but I really cannot accept this, and cannot accept without merit. You must have heard of these words, now that you have provided me with a place to stay, and even helped Le Le find a teacher to learn, I will remember all of these in my heart. She said with a serious expression.

He looked at her silently and suddenly smiled. He casually picked up the box and said, "You still refuse to believe me." With that, he threw the box into the trash can, "Since it's like this, there's no use in keeping it. It's better to just throw it away, it'll save me the trouble of looking at it."

She frowned and looked at him, "This thing is very beautiful, why did you throw it away? You can give it to someone else, you don't have to give it to me."

"To whom? "Are you sure you'd be happy if I gave it to another woman?" He looked at her deeply.

"What's there to be unhappy about? I'm not even happy yet." Her heart skipped a beat as she pretended to be indifferent.

He chuckled. He felt that the little girl in front of him could be so stubborn that it made his heart itch. Sometimes he wanted to fiercely press her down on his butt, and sometimes he also wanted to fiercely kiss her on the bed.

It was a pity that both their bodies didn't allow him to do that, so he could only silently watch as she said those words before standing up and preparing to leave.

His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly raised his voice to ask: "Are you serious? "Then I'll give it to someone else tomorrow. When that time comes, don't look for me to settle the score."

Her answer was to scoff, not at all taking his words seriously.

The door closed softly.

He smiled silently and returned to the bed. He put his hands behind his head and started thinking about her smile.

Hell, ever since his reunion with her, he's been looking more and more like a kid.

He thought gloomily.

After she returned, the first thing she did was throw herself onto the bed. Her condition had only just stabilized a little. After the conversation just now, she felt that she had exhausted all of her physical strength.
