Chapter 391 Taking Care of... (Revised)
"Xiaoyu, are you there?" Chi Yining asked knowingly.
Chen Shiyu's somewhat flustered voice quickly came from inside: "Is that Chi Chi? Wait a minute!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Yining's smile widened even further.
When Li Qingmi opened the door, no displeasure appeared on her face towards her sister's savior.
"Good evening, Yi Ning, what's this?"
Li Qingmi noticed what Chi Yining was holding at first glance.
"Hmm, this is dessert. I made one for each of you in the courtyard... It might not be as good as others', but if you don't mind, please try it for me." Although Chi Yining was talking to Li Qingmi, he was searching for Chen Shiyu's whereabouts in the room.
I couldn't see him, but judging from the distance of the sound, Chen Shiyu should be lying on the sofa right now.
He handed the jelly to Li Qingmi.
"Thank you for the dessert, but I won't invite you in. I'm afraid Mr. Yan will be unhappy," Li Qingmi said matter-of-factly.
Chi Yining thought to herself, "Is being afraid of Brother Yan something to be proud of? And where on Li Qingmi's face is the word 'fear' written?"
Chi Yining said with regret, "I didn't see Xiaoyu? Is Xiaoyu sick? I heard he wasn't feeling well the other day... Should we go see a doctor?" Chi Yining's worried expression didn't seem to be a lie.
Li Qingmi frowned, thinking that Chi Yining was acting very strangely today. He usually didn't pay much attention to Xiaoyu, right? What was going on?
But then he thought about it again. Xiaoyu often texted Chi Yining, and their relationship didn't seem as distant as he thought.
Just as he was about to offer an excuse, Chi Yining said again, "I think I just heard Xiaoyu's voice. He doesn't seem to be feeling well. Can I go check on him? I'm a little worried..."
Li Qingmi: "..."
If it weren't for Chi Yining's furrowed brows and worried expression, he would have thought Chi Yining was doing it on purpose.
Chen Shiyu, who was lying on the sofa, felt a sudden jolt. Was Chi Chi going to come in?
What if Chichi discovers something is wrong?
With Chi Chi's high combat prowess, Li Qingmi wouldn't be able to stop him if he wanted to come in and see him...
At this moment, Chen Shiyu's heart was pounding like a drum, and he frantically tried to calm it down.
So panicked.
The chirping of insects in the trees at night reached his ears at this moment. Perhaps because his nerves were too tense, the sounds were amplified infinitely and sounded exceptionally clear.
In the past, he would have been eager for Chi Chi to come to him, but now he was afraid that Chi Chi would actually step in... and get closer and closer.
He was afraid that Chi Chi would discover the secret between him and Li Qingmi.
Just as Chen Shiyu's fear, tension, and excitement were about to reach their peak, Li Qingmi's voice rang out again.
His casual and languid tone made it sound like he was talking about something ordinary, without any sense of urgency. "Xiaoyu just has a bit of a cold and is lying on the sofa right now. It's not that I don't want you to meet, but I'm afraid of infecting you... President Yan will blame me."
Seeing that Li Qingmi remained as steady as an old dog and even used Brother Yan as a shield, Chi Yining realized that he was a cunning and effeminate man. "Alright, then Xiaoyu shouldn't eat anything cold. I'll go back first. Tell Xiaoyu to take good care of him."
Li Qingmi felt something was off; had Chi Yining emphasized the word "take care"?
"Okay, thank you for your concern and the dessert. Xiaoyu will be very happy."
Chi Yining didn't say goodbye, but simply nodded and turned to leave.
Inside the room, Chen Shiyu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, plummeted as if falling off a cliff.
Li Qingmi closed the door and returned to the living room.
"scared?"
"Come here, take this punch!"
