Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chi Shuyan guessed that the man surnamed Fang had most likely been bitten by the ticket inspector. She gloated in her heart – served him right for suspecting that her father had ulterior motives, and for being petty!

In any case, she was sure that he wouldn’t turn into a living dead. At most, he would be infected with corpse poison.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t wait for the next day to arrive.

Qi Zhenbai’s eyes were fixed on his wife’s face. Seeing her smile and recalling the scream just now, the man’s eyes darkened, but his cold face softened. “What happened?”

Chi Shuyan didn’t want to mention the living dead to the man or make him worry about her. She shook her head and said, “It’s nothing; it’s just a small matter!”

She hadn’t taken a good look at the man’s face earlier, but up close now, she saw that his eyes were bloodshot and his chin was covered in stubble. Chi Shuyan touched it, and it was a bit prickly. His extremely handsome eyebrows also carried signs of exhaustion, and his eyes looked slightly bruised. It wasn’t hard to imagine that the man had probably been working late these last few days.

Chi Shuyan’s heart ached for the man. Just now, she had still been worried about her father finding out, and had thought of taking the man to a hotel in the nearby county. Now, however, she really couldn’t bear to send him away.

“Are you tired? Come, come upstairs with me!” Chi Shuyan subconsciously wanted to get down, but the man held her firmly.

Qi Zhenbai was surprised and delighted to hear his wife’s words. His eyebrows flew up, but he feigned calmness. “Where do I go?”

Chi Shuyan simply pointed the way. She wanted to get down several times, but the man held her firmly and didn’t let go, and was very steady as he carried her upstairs.

She had been a little confident in bringing this man with her, but when she reached the door, Chi Shuyan remembered that her father was inside. She wiped her cold sweat and didn’t feel as confident.

As if he could see her lack of confidence, Qi Zhenbai didn’t bat an eyelid as he said, “Wife, is Father-in-law inside? Why don’t I go find somewhere else to stay?”

Chi Shuyan rolled her eyes. Why hadn’t the man thought of this on the way up just now?

Chi Shuyan suspected that this man had come to find her in the middle of the night to act wretched and soften her heart.

Moreover, she had already brought him here, so she couldn’t go back on her word.

“It’s fine!” Chi Shuyan gritted her teeth and entered, telling the man to be as quiet as possible.

When the two returned to her room without waking her father, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief.

Switching on the light, Qi Zhenbai carefully observed his wife’s room. Even though it was really too small for him, Qi Zhenbai still looked around with bright, interested eyes.

“Do you want to shower? Do you have a change of clothes?” Chi Shuyan paused. Under the light, she looked at the man’s bloodshot eyes and couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you sleep first and shower tomorrow?”

Qi Zhenbai said, “I’ll take a shower. My suitcase is in the trunk of the car; I’ll go get it tomorrow. Wife, just give me your towel.”

Chi Shuyan also knew that this man was a little obsessed with cleanliness. If he didn’t take a shower, he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep. She was brimming with energy now, but when she heard the man’s movements in the bathroom, she became terrified. She was afraid that her father would suddenly wake up. Also, what would happen when her father saw this man tomorrow?

Fine, she could only take it one step at a time!

Fortunately, the man took a quick shower. Chi Shuyan crawled into bed and played games on her phone for a while before the man came in, naked except for the towel wrapped around him.

After the shower, the man’s face looked much better, but his eyes were still bloodshot. Seeing that his hair was wet, Chi Shuyan could only get out of bed and find a towel from the closet to wipe his hair.

Seeing his bruised eyes and exhausted face, Chi Shuyan asked, “Why don’t you sit on the bed and I’ll dry your hair for you?”
