Under his reminder, Shi Niange finally remembered to drink milk. She quickly raised the milk bottle and took a sip. Then, she looked at him with a nervous expression. She thought for a moment and continued drinking. She slowly drank half the bottle.

  Qin Siting watched her small movements and did not speak. He raised his brows.

  After drinking some milk, Shi Niange’s mood finally returned to normal. She placed the bottle on the table by the side and looked up at him. “You snatched my potato chips.”


  “En, I snatched it.”


  “You stole the chips from my mouth!”


  Hearing this, Qin Siting casually picked up another bottle of milk and opened it. “Isn’t it because I’m afraid that you won’t be healthy if you eat snacks at night? I’ll share your burden.”


  With that, he drank the milk and walked out.

  Shi Niange was speechless. Just as she was about to follow him out, Qin Siting’s phone suddenly rang. When she heard him pick up the phone, he seemed to say her address. She guessed that it was from the hotel that he ordered the meal.

  Sure enough, not long after, a delivery man came. The hotel close to this place was considered a five-star hotel in Hai City. The food they made seemed to be quite good. Shi Niange had heard of it before. Looking at the exquisite and clean lunch boxes, she rubbed her hungry stomach and rushed over to eat.

  In the end, when one was really hungry, they felt that they could eat a lot. In fact, it was already too late. It was already past the usual time to eat. Shi Niange only ate a little before waving her hand. “No, I can’t eat anymore.”


  Qin Siting glanced at her and did not speak. He still placed the two pieces of pork ribs in her bowl, which was the small portion of rice she had left. “You knew you couldn’t eat, yet you ran off to have snacks after ordering?”


  “I was too hungry just now……” Shi Niange liked to eat this pork rib, but she really couldn’t eat the rest of the food. She picked up the pork rib and placed it in the deepest corner to chew while looking at him pitifully.” I will only eat the pork ribs. Can I? ”


  Before he could answer, Qin Siting’s phone rang again. He got up and went to the coffee table to answer the call. Shi Niange took the opportunity to quickly stuff the rice in her bowl into his, leaving only the pork ribs in her bowl. When Qin Siting came back from answering the call, he saw that she was seriously chewing on the pork ribs.

  His bowl, which had not much rice left, had already risen by quite a bit.

  Shi Niange looked up at him while chewing on her pork ribs and smiled at him. “You are done with the call?”


  Qin Siting sat down and did not say anything. He watched as she blinked her eyes guiltily. In the end, he did not say anything and helped her eat the food she stuffed in.

  Afterward, when he returned to the other side, Shi Niange stood in front of her own dishwasher and kept giggling.

  The next day, her grandfather’s laboratory did not require any help. However, her grandfather had something to attend to and asked Qin Siting to go with him. Shi Niange could only stay at home and wait for an entire day. In the end, they had yet to return at night. It was only when Qin Siting called her at night to let her rest early that she found out that her grandfather’s matters at the provincial hospital had yet to end. He probably had to continue the meeting tomorrow. The leaders there had left them behind and could not return tonight.

  Shi Niange waited for a day, but in the end, Qin Siting could not return. After hanging up the phone, she laid on the bed and tossed and turned. She was disappointed and depressed.

  He couldn’t come back today.

  Could he come back tomorrow?

  Tomorrow was her birthday……

  Although she didn’t mention this to Qin Siting a few days ago because of the Qin family, would he remember? Or…… if he couldn’t rush back tomorrow…… sending her a message to say happy birthday was good, just like a year ago.

  With this thought in mind, Shi Niange fell asleep.

  The next day, when she woke up, she was bombarded by her parents and relatives. They were all wishing her a happy birthday. Her relatives in Hai Cheng asked her if she was still with the Shi family. They wanted to send her birthday presents from the same city, but she rejected them all.

  As usual, Mrs. Yang Zhenzhen sent her a video call. After chatting for a while, she hung up because she was a little busy. This repeated until the afternoon. Zhao Xiaoqing and Baby Qi called her to ask if she wanted to come out for a meal or sing karaoke for her birthday. Shi Niange saw that Qin Siting would not be able to rush back today and thought that it was good to divert her attention, so she went.

  Several of her classmates who were on good terms with her in the medical department had all come. They had a high time in the KTV until past eight in the evening. Under normal circumstances, Shi Niange did not drink much. However, it would be unreasonable if she did not drink a little today. She drank a lot of beer and a glass of fruit wine. Afterward, she really did not want to drink anymore. She said that she had to call her parents later on, so she held the beverage in her hand the entire time.

  Thankfully, she was able to stay awake when she took a taxi home. However, the smell of cigarettes and alcohol in the KTV was too strong. After arriving home, she took off her shoes and rushed into the bathroom.

  After the alcohol kicked in, her head hurt a little. She didn’t know what time it was. She laid in the bathtub and didn’t want to move.

  She didn’t know how long she had slept in the bathtub when she suddenly heard her phone vibrate. She forced herself to open her eyes to take a look and raised her hand to hold it by her ear. Earlier, when she brought the phone over, she didn’t pay much attention to the caller’s name. She only heard Qin Siting’s low and clear voice from the phone. “Are you asleep?”


  Shi Niange narrowed her eyes. It took her a few seconds to realize who was calling. She answered vaguely, “En…… not yet.”


  “Come out.”


  Come out?

  Where to?

  Shi Niange, who was a little tipsy, could not react in time. After she placed her phone aside, she suddenly opened her eyes after about a minute.

  Qin Siting was back?

  She suddenly regained some consciousness and quickly got up to put on her clothes.

  However, she was in too much of a rush. She only wiped her hair and had yet to dry it. She casually put on a nightdress she had taken out from the cabinet, went downstairs, picked up a down jacket from the sofa, put it on, and rushed out in her slippers.

  The door of the villa opened. Outside, the temperature was almost -20 degrees Celsius, and the water was freezing.

  The moment Shi Niange came out, she felt a gust of cold wind. However, when she saw the person outside the villa, she instantly did not feel cold and ran to open the door.

  The young girl had just showered and was only wearing a nightgown. The down jacket outside was only the length of her upper body and was simply draped over her body. The delicate collar bone above the skirt was revealed with the cold wind. Her slender, white calves were exposed under the cold air, and she was only wearing a pair of slippers.

  Her long hair was still wet. She suddenly ran out and pounced on him with the scent of shower gel.

  Qin Siting watched her approach with a heavy gaze. His gaze first stared at her slightly intoxicated eyes. His first action was to push open the unlocked door. Then, he pulled off his long coat and covered her head with it.

  “Put it on.”


  The overwhelming darkness isolated the dim yellow light from the street lamps outside the villa. Shi Niange stood there, covered by his coat, unmoving. However, her nose was instantly filled with his scent.

  Very good smell!

  She quickly took his coat and wrapped it around herself. She then looked up at him. Seeing her like this, Qin Siting entered and closed the door. He quickly brought her back to the villa.

  “You were showering earlier. Why didn’t you dress properly? Why did you run out like this?” His hand landed on her head. Her wet hair had been frozen stiff for two minutes. It was clear how cold it was outside.

  Shi Niange paused for a moment before saying, “I’m fine…… I was soaking in the bath just now. It happened to be too hot. There’s nothing wrong with blowing on it……”


  As she spoke, she suddenly burped.

  Qin Siting watched as she tried her best to widen her eyes to look more energetic. “Did you drink?”


  “En. In the afternoon, Zhao Xiaoqing and the rest came to look for me, and Qi Baobao…… and a few classmates. We went out together……” Shi Niange raised her hand and patted her chest.” But it’s fine. I didn’t drink much. Just a few glasses.”


  “Did you plan to shower and sleep right after you came back and not wait for me to come back?” the man continued.

  “.……”


  How could she have known that he would come back? This morning, her grandfather had even called her. He said that he was a little busy and might have to stay tonight. She had long been prepared not to see him today.

  “You didn’t even plan on calling me?” Qin Siting narrowed his eyes. “Are you angry?”


  Shi Niange: “.……No.”


  Speaking of which, she actually had a little temper. However, she felt that he had been called over by her grandfather. Since the provincial government refused to let him go, she couldn’t possibly ask him to come back just because it was her birthday. Furthermore, she didn’t specially mention it to him. If he really forgot her birthday, there was nothing she could do even if she was angry.

  “Where did you go to drink?” He brought her back to the sofa and touched her hair. After entering the room, because of the warmth in the room, her hair, which had been slightly frozen by the cold wind, softened. Her face was also red, and her eyes were hazy. Just looking at her made one want to…… bully her.

  “The KTV at the Ruikai Building. Oh, right, you went to that place when Zhao Xiaoqing’s birthday was……”


  “Are they all girls?”


  “En…… most of them were girls. There were also a few boys from our class.”


  Qin Siting suddenly fell silent.

  As Shi Niange took off her down jacket, she muttered softly, “Qin Siting, are you really my boyfriend? If I don’t tell you it is my birthday, would you really not remember? I really can’t feel any of your love. I’m so angry.”


  Qin Siting looked at the little drunkard with a smile that was not a smile. “Is that so? Then can you feel my killing intent?”
