Li Linlin inwardly exclaimed, ‘As expected of me!’ Chen Yiran had already walked up to her. He put the back of his hand on her forehead and tested her temperature. “The fever has gone away, why are you still muddleheaded?”

Li Linlin: “……”

“Do you remember what happened last night?” Chen Yiran looked at her and asked.

As an impure beauty, Li Linlin instantly remembered a lot of pornographic waste she had read from his ambiguous words.

She sucked in a breath and held her face. No way, no way, she didn’t force Brother Yiran last night, right?

After acting as Ou Jiaxu, her physical fitness improved a lot and it seemed that it was no problem to push Chen Yiran down.

Until she saw the puncture mark on the back of her hand.

After an intravenous drip yesterday, there’s a faint layer of purple on the back of her hand, which hurt a little when she pressed on it with her finger. Li Linlin felt as if a switch had been flicked on and the memories of last night flooded into her mind.

“……” After remembering what she had done yesterday, she covered her face in even more horror than before. Chen Yiran’s gaze landed on her, and as if she had been greatly frightened, she lifted up the quilt and buried herself inside.

Chen Yiran looked at Li Linlin who was like an ostrich and patted her head through the quilt. “Don’t suffocate yourself, come out. Wash your face and brush your teeth, then have breakfast.”

“……” It took Li Linlin a while before she calmed down under the quilt. She slowly said, “Oh, then you can go out first.”

Chen Yiran made a low sound. Wasn’t she so brave last night? How come she turned into a kitten today? Afraid that Li Linlin would really suffocate herself, he didn’t continue teasing her. He stood up and walked out of the room.

Li Linlin heard the sound of the door closing and slowly poked her head out from under the quilt. There was no one else in the room and Chen Yiran’s scent had also faded a lot.

Li Linlin exhaled, got out from under the quilt and surveyed the room. It appeared to be the master bedroom so it must be where Chen Yiran sleeps. However, she occupied this place last night and she didn’t know where he had sleep.

……Hey, wait, this was Chen Yiran’s room, which meant that the bed she’s lying on right now belongs to Chen Yiran, the quilt belongs to Chen Yiran, the blanket belongs to Chen Yiran, and the pillow belongs to Chen Yiran. Rounding it all off, she was hugged by Chen Yiran to sleep all night!

Li Linlin’s face suddenly turned red.

She was wrapped in a quilt and took a gentle sniff. It was Chen Yiran’s scent.

……So shy!

She jumped out of bed and washed her face with cold water to stop herself from getting so worked up. After washing up, she changed out of the men’s T-shirt she was wearing and put her clothes back on.

Chen Yiran set breakfast on the table and waited for Li Linlin for a while before seeing her open the door and come out of the bedroom. He had placed two pairs of bowls and chopsticks and said to Li Linlin, “Come and have breakfast quickly, it will get cold.”

“Oh.” Li Linlin quickened her steps and sat down on the chair opposite Chen Yiran. He uncovered the small pot in the middle of the dining table. Inside was the milk porridge he had just cooked this morning.

The porridge was still steaming hot and with a faint aroma of milk. Li Linlin’s hand was quick to move as she looked at the porridge in the pot. “Brother Yiran, you cook milk porridge?”

“Mm, someone personally ordered it.” Just eating milk porridge was too monotonous so Chen Yiran also ordered a few light side dishes. “Let’s eat.”

After saying that, he asked meaningfully, “You don’t need me to feed you today?”

“……” Li Linlin picked up the bowl and scooped some porridge into it. Chen Yiran waited for her to put down the spoon before serving himself.

The two of them ate breakfast in silence for a while when Chen Yiran suddenly asked, “Where did you learn the name Chen Shan?”

“Pfft, cough, cough.” Li Linlin was caught off guard and choked on the porridge in her mouth. She suddenly remembered that she had called him Chen Shan very arrogantly last night. “Uh, I found out after hearing Aunt Zhen calling you Shanshan.”

“Xixi told you?”

“Hmm.” Li Linlin held the bowl in her hands and quietly examined his expression. “She said it’s your nickname?”

“En, my mother used to call me that.” But after his mother passed away, only his aunt called him that.

When it comes to Chen Yiran’s mother, Li Linlin felt that it was a relatively sensitive topic. The last time the two of them accidentally brought up Lili, she had directly cried in the park, not to mention the matter of Brother Yiran’s mother.

She was afraid that Chen Yiran would be in a bad mood so she took the initiative to change the topic, “By the way, Brother Yiran, I saw that you collected a set of building block figures in your display cabinet. I didn’t peg you to be such a person!”

She had asked Assistant Wu before but didn’t find out what other hobbies Chen Yiran had besides buying houses. She didn’t expect that this accident would lead to such a big gain.

Chen Yiran said, “That’s not a set, there’s still one missing.”

“I see. Is the remaining one not easy to find?”

“En, that set of building block figures has been discontinued and went out of production a long time ago. Those displayed are the ones I have collected by buying from others for the past few years.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Li Linlin nodded. “Then it’s really not easy to collect. I know a little brother who also has a similar toy. He seems to know quite a bit, how about I ask him for you?”

Chen Yiran laughed. “Can a kid find the item that even I haven’t found?”

Li Linlin said, “Don’t underestimate primary school students. Their life is so wild nowadays.” When she said this, she looked at Chen Yiran and blinked. “Weren’t you also very capable when you were in primary school?”

Chen Yiran was noncommittal. He took a sip of porridge and asked Li Linlin, “Is the primary school student you’re mentioning the one I met last time in Yinwan, the neighbor who lives across from you?”

“Yes.” Li Linlin also took a sip of porridge. “But I’m a little surprised. I didn’t expect that Brother Yiran likes those building block figures as well.”

Chen Yiran’s eyes moved. He was silent for a moment before telling her, “My first building block figure was a gift from my mother on my second birthday.”

Li Linlin: “……”

Why did they circle around?!

She looked at Chen Yiran across from her and was at a loss. Why had she been stepping on the minefields today?

Chen Yiran, however, didn’t seem to mind mentioning these things to her and continued on, “My mother told me that in the future, every new year or whenever I perform well, she will give me one as a reward. It’s a pity that she didn’t have the chance to give me a second one. I kept the building block figure with me and I wanted to collect them all by myself when I grow up, but that’s when I discovered that the series had been discontinued.”

Perhaps life often had such regrets. At that time, Chen Yiran was living with Chen Zui but he did not allow himself to make such a willful request and ask Chen Zui to help him collect a set of toys that went out of production.

He never mentioned anything about the building block figures to anyone. It wasn’t until he became an adult and had a certain financial ability that he began to go through various channels to gather the complete set.

It’s been something he’s been doing for years, and because of the set’s age, they’re indeed difficult to collect. However, he’s about to reach the end of what seemed to be a difficult task.

After Chen Yiran said these words, he didn’t have much emotional fluctuations. After all, he had learned to control his emotions long ago, but it was Li Linlin’s eyes that turned red.

Brother Yiran was really pitiful. He had to endure a lot of pressure at such a young age!

“Alright, don’t just sit there, the porridge is really getting cold.”

“Oh.” Li Linlin responded, holding the bowl and sipping porridge again. She decided that she must help Brother Yiran collect the last piece of that set!

After breakfast, Chen Yiran still had to go to the company. In order to take care of Li Linlin, he had already set off much later than usual and thinking that since he would be late anyway, it didn’t matter if he was delayed more.

“Where are you going back? Let me take you there first.” Chen Yiran sat in the driver’s seat and asked Li Linlin beside him while fastening his seat belt.

Li Linlin also buckled her seat belt, thought for a moment, then told him, “You can take me to my family’s house. I’m going back to pick up some things.”

“Okay.” Chen Yiran responded and drove the car in the direction of Lize Park.

Li Linlin tilted her head and looked at him. “Brother Yiran, don’t you have work today?”

Chen Yiran said, “I’m already late anyway so I’m going in the afternoon.”

Li Linlin felt a little guilty. “I’m sorry, Brother Yiran, I delayed your work.”

With Chen Yiran’s passion for work, delaying his work was no different from delaying his intimacy with his wife!

Chen Yiran said, “It’s me who’s sorry. I’m wondering if you caught a cold because I asked you to go out for a walk in the mountain the night before.”

“Ah, that’s definitely not the case!” Li Linlin quickly denied. “It has nothing to do with you. It’s because the program crew did not give us food!”

Speaking of this, Chen Yiran frowned slightly. He could understand that the program crew was rushing because of the schedule but they had to let the guests eat. Who would be responsible if anything happened?

“Nothing is as important as a person’s health. I will talk to Manager Pan and ask her to communicate with the program group again. Not letting people eat is definitely out of question.”

Li Linlin couldn’t help smiling when she heard what he said. “It turns out Brother Yiran also knows that health is the most important thing? Then why are you always busy working and not eating?”

“Did Assistant Wu tell you again?” Chen Yiran said, “Does he know that disclosing the boss’s information like this is against the rules?”

“Ah, that’s not the case.” Li Linlin complained, “He won’t have anything to say if you eat on time.”

Chen Yiran curled his lips slightly and glanced at her. “People’s physiques are different. I won’t pass out like someone if I don’t eat one meal.”

“……That’s an unexpected situation.” Li Linlin said and tried to show him her muscles. “I’ve practiced boxing for a long time and the coach praised me for doing well!”

“Oh, really?”

“Of course! Do you want to see my abs?!”

“……No thank you.”

The car drove in front of the Li family’s villa and Chen Yiran stopped the car. He unbuckled his seat belt and opened the door, following Li Linlin out of the car. “I’ll walk you in.”

“Okay. Why don’t you stay for lunch?”

“No need, I’ll need to go to the company in a while.”

The two of them walked to the door and Li Linlin was about to reach for the doorknob when someone opened it from the inside. Li Linlin was startled. She stared at Yu Wan who was standing inside the house without regaining her composure for a while.

“Sweetie, mom and dad are back!”
