Lin Xi was sick.

Because she was drugged and soaked in cold water for half the night, when Lin Xi was sent to the hospital, her entire body was boiling hot. Although her body temperature had dropped after the infusion, her doctor had advised her to stay in the hospital for a few more days for fear of the side effects of the drug she was taking.

But what was comforting was that Li Muqing was being held prisoner. Although the case was still being investigated, she still had to go to jail.

Seeing that Lin Xi was unconscious, the Old Madem Qin felt pained. He blamed Qin Yu for leaving her alone at the royal ball.

"You made Xiao Xi suffer so much. You can take care of her after she's been hospitalized for a few days." The Old Mistress was afraid that Bai Nianxi would have problems, hence she asked Qin Yu to accompany her more.

Qin Yu subconsciously wanted to reject, but looking at Bai Nianxi's pale and weak appearance, her heart softened, and she nodded in agreement.

The reason why Bai Nianxi had been targeted by Li Muqing time and time again was also because she was implicated, and it was natural for him to take care of Bai Nianxi now.

Qin Yu thought for a while, then called Assistant Yao to reorganize his trip, so that he would have time to look after Bai Nianxi in the hospital.

Thus, when Lin Xi woke up in the city center hospital, the first person she saw was Qin Yu who was guarding her bedside and working on his laptop.

It was a strange feeling, and for a moment she even forgot that they were pretending to be lovers.

It was drizzling outside of the window, and the inside of the house was bright and warm. There was also a person who was quietly guarding you, a scene that would only appear in Lin Xi's dreams.

But very quickly, she remembered the reason she was hospitalized. She also remembered how Qin Yu tied her hands and feet up, and rudely threw her into the bathtub.

She still clearly remembered the feeling of cold water seeping into her ears and nose. Lin Xi couldn't help but grind her teeth when she thought about it.

So, when she knew that the old lady had asked Qin Yu to take care of her, she looked at the lunch Qin Yu had brought her, and shook her head without giving her any face, and started to make things difficult for him: "I don't want to eat this, I want to eat the cod porridge from Song Ji Congee Restaurant."

Song Ji's porridge shop did not do take-over business. If one wanted to eat porridge, they had to line up at the door.

Qin Yu's hand paused for a moment, then started to call Assistant Yao. However, before she could pick up the phone, Lin Xi turned her head and said: "I don't want to eat things bought by others. The doctor said that the patient must be in a good mood so that she can recover quickly. I just want to eat the congee that you bought. You can't possibly not satisfy this wish of mine, right? "

Qin Yu hung up the phone expressionlessly, picked up his car keys and went downstairs.

Half an hour later, a box of cod porridge was placed in front of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi moved closer to smell it, she was almost drooling at the delicious taste of the cod fish porridge, but she still pretended to wrinkle his nose and avoid it, "It's too fishy, I can't drink it, suddenly I feel like drinking their lily lotus porridge again."

She sighed dramatically.

However, Qin Yu seemed to have predicted that she would say that, as soon as she finished speaking, he brought a large thermos box in front of her: "I bought all kinds of porridge from Song Ji Congee Restaurant, choose whichever one you want."

Lin Xi opened the box and took a look. Dozens of different types of porridge were neatly placed inside, with a box of Lily lotus seed porridge at the very top.

She slammed the lid on the box and said, "I'd rather have cod porridge, but I don't have the strength in my arms or legs yet. I want you to feed me."

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu was extremely easy to talk to. Without hesitation, he picked up the cod porridge, scooped a spoonful of it with his spoon and brought it to Lin Xi's mouth.

Lin Xi unwillingly swallowed the porridge. She rolled her eyes and was about to say something when she was stopped by another spoonful of porridge that was brought to her mouth.

Qin Yu said indifferently: "Even if you want to make things difficult for me, you should at least drink this box of porridge, fill up your stomach, and then order me to do something else."

Lin Xi's heart was seen through, but she was not embarrassed, since she did not plan to hide it in the beginning.

However, she was indeed hungry, Lin Xi decided to consult Qin Yu for the time being. She wouldn't be able to leave the courtyard for a while anyways, she had plenty of opportunities to make Qin Yu her move, and it was more important to eat now.

Lin Xi wanted to take back the cod porridge and eat it for herself, but this time Qin Yu did not listen to her. Let me do it. "

As he spoke, he handed another spoonful of porridge over. But Lin Xi did not say anything this time.

The reason she had Qin Yu feed her porridge earlier was only to intentionally make things difficult for him. In the end, not only did Qin Yu not feel that it was difficult for him, he even accepted the fact that he was not getting impatient at all.

When she thought about how she was fed even though she was no longer a child, Lin Xi suddenly felt very ashamed.

"You're not embarrassed, are you?" Seeing that she was not willing to speak, Qin Yu suddenly asked her.

"Why should I be embarrassed?" Lin Xi hated it when Qin Yu saw through her thoughts, hence she opened her mouth and ate that spoon of porridge.

It had to be said that Qin Yu took care of people very carefully. His neither fast nor slow feeding was just the rhythm of Lin Xi's daily meal.

At first, Lin Xi felt that it was a bit shameful, but as she continued to eat, she gradually got used to it.

Qin Yu sat right in front of her, and when he raised his head, he saw the tip of her tongue sweeping across his peach blossom lips. Before he could even react, his right hand had already touched the corner of Lin Xi's lips.

Lin Xi was suddenly startled, and retreated backwards to hide. "What are you trying to do?"

"There's porridge on the corner of your mouth." Qin Yu lied without changing his expression, but a trace of regret flashed past his eyes.

He suddenly said, "I have an important meeting this afternoon. I have to go back to the company now." Then, he left the room.

Lin Xi snorted at his back — What happened to let her do as she pleases after eating? Liar!

When Qin Yu left, he only came back to see Lin Xi on the second day's night. He even specially brought her some performance type teaching materials and a video about learning.

Lin Xi spent most of her time by herself and would inevitably find it boring. The things Qin Yu brought her were just nice and practical.

Although she felt that her acting skills from her previous life were already pretty good, but she couldn't stop learning. In the future, she was going to be a film queen.

After she received the information, she picked the videos inside first and was so engrossed in watching that she forgot about making things difficult for Qin Yu.

Qin Yu did not disturb her. He sat at a place that Lin Xi could look back to when she turned around, and worked overtime to process the company's documents.

As Lin Xi watched, she suddenly saw a part of Qiao Mingyu's performance on the learning video.

It had only been two months since she was reborn, but now, looking at Qiao Mingyu again, she felt that he was a stranger, so strange that she could recall the process of their love. It was as if that happened to her and someone else.

Lin Xi suddenly remembered that night at the VICI royal ball. She had lost control of herself and kept asking her about the relationship between him and her. It was as if she hated Qiao Mingyu a lot.

She turned to Qin Yu and asked: "Do you hate Qiao Mingyu? It was unusual for you to mention him at the party. "

Qin Yu was startled for a moment, then raised his head and replied: "Believe me, when any man is intimate with a woman, suddenly hearing her call out another man's name, he would have this kind of reaction."

Lin Xi never thought that she would receive such an answer. She turned her eyes away in embarrassment and blushed a little.

In reality, because of the drugs, her memories of that night at the royal ball were in disarray. She remembered the most clearly that Qin Yu kept pushing her away, tying her hands and feet up with cold water.

But even without those memories, she could imagine her own shameful reaction. She was even glad that she didn't remember these, if not she wouldn't have been able to face Qin Yu normally.

Just as Lin Xi was planning to change the awkward subject, Qin Yu suddenly asked: "What about you? What is your relationship with Qiao Mingyu? "

"We are fine," Lin Xi denied anxiously. "Even if I did shout his name, I wanted to kill him!"

Bai Nianxi had nothing to do with her, after being reborn, she did not want to have anything to do with Qiao Mingyu either, other than sending him to jail with her own hands.

"You hate him?" Qin Yu asked again.

His eyes squinted as he looked at Lin Xi, as if trying to gauge whether she was lying or not.

Lin Xi nodded and said, "Yes, because he killed Lin Xi."

Qin Yu's eyes suddenly became cold: "You also believe the rumors on the internet, you think that Lin Xi was killed by Qiao Mingyu and his accomplice?"

Lin Xi was afraid that if she said too much, it would arouse Qin Yu's suspicions. In order to be cautious, she said while weighing the pros and cons, "I only know that she definitely won't commit suicide."

With the topic of life and death on the line, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned solemn. Qin Yu did not speak anymore. Because of the events that happened before his death, Lin Xi also did not utter a word. The only sound left in the room was the clattering of the wall clock.

Lin Xi actually wanted to find someone to pour out her heart to, tell her her true identity, tell her how she died, and how malicious Lin Qian and Qiao Mingyu were …

She didn't expect him to do justice for her. She just wanted to talk to someone who could trust her.

She lay on her back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling.

Those with secrets were lonely. Even if she told them her secret, no one in this world would believe her.

Lin Xi silently sighed, and under the clattering of the clock, he slowly closed her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, she felt someone cover her with a blanket, then the door creaked and only her breathing could be heard in the entire room.

It was unknown whether it was because of the knockdown effects of the knock-on drug, but ever since Lin Xi had been hospitalized, she had occasionally experienced a fever of unknown origin. The Old Madem Qin was worried about her body, and refused to let her leave the hospital. She had even changed the way she fed her supplements every day, and in just half a month, she managed to make her fat by four kilograms.

Lin Xi was going to be an actress, so if she got any fatter, it would affect her performance. Thus, when the weather was good, she would go downstairs to exercise for a while.

Lin Xi had stayed in the hospital for a while now, and during this period, he had gotten to know a few sick friends.

However, when Lin Xi went downstairs today, she discovered that everyone was looking at her strangely. Someone who would greet her whenever they saw her in the past, had actually avoided her today.

Lin Xi's face was full of confusion. It wasn't until she used her phone to type up the news during dinner that she realised that her name had actually made the headlines.
