Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The bedroom was very quiet. Apart from the slight buzzing of the humidifier, Fu Chen could only hear his strong heartbeat in his ears.

His heart was palpitating with excitent.

He sat by the bed with his body leaning half-sideways. From ti to ti, he helped tuck her in with the blanket. Afraid that she would get a fever, he reached his hand out occasionally to check the temperature of her forehead, and he only felt more at ease after confirming that she was fine…

Various images of today kept appearing in Song Fengwan’s mind, causing her to sleep very uneasily.

She even occasionally mumbled in her sleep.

Fu Chen reached out his hand and held her hand. He had never done anything like this before, so he was a little clumsy when comforting her. Especially when it ca to the person he liked, he even had to consider his words carefully.

Even so, Song Fengwan’s mood gradually cald down, and she started sleeping peacefully.

Only then did Fu Chen heave a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to adjust the power of the humidifier while afraid that any little movent of his would wake her up.

The atmosphere in the room was cozy and quiet.

But…

Suddenly, a few dog barks ca from outside. Fu Chen furrowed his brows. Right on the heels of that was Duan Linbai’s slightly annoying voice.

“Co on. Co chase …

“F*ck, I served you when you were just born. You actually want to bite ? Co on. If you dare to bite once, I’ll kill you.

“You stupid dog!”

Then ca Fu Xinhan’s rough barking.

And a certain soone’s smug and annoying voice.

…

Fu Chen clenched his fists, looking displeased.

Song Fengwan was originally only half asleep, and the sound outside startled her, causing her to wake up…

She imdiately opened her eyes, and she was caught off guard when Fu Chen’s face appeared in her vision.

“Third Master, why are you here?” As she spoke, the pungent sll of dicine hit her nose, and she subconsciously moved the candy in her mouth.

I fell asleep right after taking the dicine, and now the taste in my mouth is really…

… so slly.

She was really curious who exactly invented this dicine. Although it was very effective, the taste really made people break down.

She propped herself up with one hand and tried to sit up.

“I had sothing urgent to deal with just now, so I left you alone.” Fu Chen reached out his hand and placed a pillow behind her back. His fingers politely supported her arm to help her adjust her sitting posture.

“It’s alright.” Her voice was a little hoarse, and she spoke even more softly.

After all, she knew deep down that Fu Chen was busy with her matters.

Song Fengwan was already very grateful in her heart that Fu Chen could rush over in ti today.

“You still want to vomit?” His voice was low and gentle.

She shook her head and reached out to touch the top of her head. She kept feeling that the dream she had just now seed too real.

“Are you hungry?”

When Fu Chen said this, she glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table and saw that it was already half past three in the afternoon. After the incident, she had vomited for a long ti, so how could she have attended to eating?

Her stomach was probably empty right now.

“I don’t have much of an appetite.” She had a bitter taste in her mouth. She had just experienced a life and death calamity, so she couldn’t be bothered to eat at all.

“Get so sleep. I’ll go downstairs to find you sothing to eat.” Fu Chen helped tuck her in and got up to leave.

Song Fengwan furrowed her brows.?Since he’s already decided to help get so food, then why did he ask if I’m hungry?

In fact, he was still very domineering in his bones.

When Fu Chen was about to leave, he took out his phone and handed it to her. “Your phone is broken. I’ll get soone to buy you a new one later. Take this and play with it first.”

In order to make it convenient for her to study, there was no TV in her bedroom, so it would be boring for her to just wait.

“There’s no need…” Song Fengwan didn’t dare to play with his phone.

“The password is one-eight-one-zero-one-one.” Fu Chen gave her the phone and turned around to leave.

Song Fengwan held the phone, and there was still a hint of warmth on it. She was bored sitting on the bed. So after hesitating for a while, she reached out and touched the phone. The screen lit up, and she saw the system default wallpaper.

She curled her fingers a little.?Anyway, Fu Chen gave it to . I’ll just browse the news for a while and won’t look at anything else.

After unlocking it, the wallpaper that popped out made her heart jump.

It was black characters on a white wallpaper in the form of a four-lined poem.

The sleeping sky,

Your hair is ruffled by the dark night.

I am stirred by you,

Unable to sleep all night.

Song Fengwan repeatedly savored the poem. Her heart was slightly burning, but an inexplicable sense of loss instantly enveloped her heart.

Just from these few lines, it seems like a love poem.

Third Master has soone in his heart?

Song Fengwan recalled his cold resistance when Old Madam Fu wanted to matchmake him, and she bit her lip.?Is it because he already has soone he likes since long ago that he’s resistant to having contact with people of the opposite gender?

Her heart felt sour and swollen. When she ca back to her senses, the screen was dark, and she didn’t touch the phone again.

Her mind was a ss as she recalled the promise Fu Chen had made to her before.

“From now on, Third Brother will protect you, okay?”

Her thoughts were chaotic, her mind like a tangled mass of vines and weeds, so ssy that she couldn’t think and make sense of it.

***

As soon as Fu Chen ca downstairs, he saw Duan Linbai teasing the dog with a ball of thick string.

“Co on, you stupid dog.”

Fu Xinhan couldn’t get the toy and paced around him. When he saw Fu Chen coming, he hurriedly wagged his tail and ran over to act cute and fawn on him.

“Third Fu, why do I feel that Fu Xinhan isn’t as cute as when he was young? How did you raise your dog? He’s so stupid.”?When this dog was young, he was just like a little ball. Everything about him was small and thin, and even his barks weren’t loud.

He was definitely cute and likable.

“You chose the dog. What do you think?” Fu Chen lifted his eyelids and went straight into the kitchen.

His aning was very clear.?This dog is stupid because he followed your personality. It has nothing to do with .

Duan Linbai didn’t care about his sarcasm. It was obvious that he had experienced it countless tis and wasn’t afraid of any sort of imperceptible attacks.

In Fu Chen’s words, his skin was thick enough.

“Ah-choo—” Duan Linbai suddenly sneezed. “F*ck, don’t tell I caught a cold again.”

“If you have a cold, go ho early. Don’t pass it to .”

Duan Linbai was exasperated and rushed over to argue with him. “Don’t you know who the reason for my cold is? As your bro, I didn’t even care about my own health and put my life on the line for you. But after using , you throw away. Do you still have a conscience?”

“Do you need to hug you and coax you? Feed you dicine?” Fu Chen searched the kitchen for a long ti and finally found the rice.

An image appeared in Duan Linbai’s mind.?Fu Chen feeding dicine? He might as well let die.

“You’re cooking?”

“Want so?” Fu Chen turned his head and looked at him.

“Okay.” Duan Linbai sillily ran to the sofa to wait for the food.

When Uncle Nian saw Fu Chen making food, he walked over to help, but Fu Chen rejected him. He washed the rice and put it into a pot according to his experience. Then he added water, plugged it in, and cooked porridge.

Fu Chen had never cooked before, but he had always seen others cook. He washed the rice and added the water entirely based on his personal feelings and preferences.

Considering that Song Fengwan was sick and had to eat light and nutritious food, he thought about stir-frying so vegetables.

Duan Linbai knew that Fu Chen didn’t know how to cook and was afraid that he would poison him to death, so he specially stared at him at the kitchen door for a while. Although he wasn’t very skilled, the vegetables he cut were quite regular and harmless. So Duan Linbai just waited with ease.

Soon, Fu Chen placed a plate of vegetables on the table.

Duan Linbai was unable to contain his joy. He picked up a piece with the chopsticks and took a big bite. It was so salty that it almost killed him. “Third Fu, is the salt in your house free?”

Fu Chen furrowed his brows and didn’t say anything.

Fu Xinhan was lying beside the table and wagging his tail. Duan Linbai picked a vegetable leaf and placed it in front of him. He sniffed it and turned his head away in disgust.

“Haha, see? Even the dog ignored it. Your dog doesn’t even eat it, yet you want to eat this?”

“I never planned to give it to you.”

“What did you say?” Duan Linbai picked up a cup of warm water on the side and rinsed his mouth.

“It’s for Wanwan. You’re just the taste tester.” His tone was serious and self-justifying.

Cough cough…?Duan Linbai choked on the water.

I really want to punch this bastard to death!

Treating like a guinea pig?!

Your wife’s taste buds are precious, but mine aren’t?!

Do you even know how many young ladies on the internet treat like a treasure!

Oh, this petty temper of his…

This person’s mouth is sared with poison! He really can anger people to death!

***

But the porridge he cooked was soft and glutinous. After Uncle Nian helped stir-fry a plate of vegetables, Fu Chen carried the dishes upstairs.

He pushed the door open and entered, only to see Song Fengwan in a daze with her head lowered.

“The food is here.”

One of Song Fengwan’s hands was injured, so Fu Chen didn’t wait for her to speak and directly took a spoon, scooped so porridge, and brought it to her mouth.

“Why are you in a daze? Eat.”

“Okay,” she replied lightly, looking listless.

Fu Chen thought that she was feeling unwell and didn’t probe further. He gave her a mouthful of porridge, and she ate it very obediently.

After eating, Song Fengwan crawled under her blanket. The blanket covered half of her face, and she seed to be going to sleep.

Fu Chen furrowed his brows slightly and thought that she was still thinking about what had happened in the underground parking garage. He watched her for a long ti before bringing the dishes downstairs without disturbing her.

He thought that what had happened today had shocked her greatly and gave her ti to calm down.

Shi Fang arranged the company’s morning eting minutes and handed them to Fu Chen. Fu Chen made a cup of tea and walked to her room with the docunts.

Song Fengwan was already wrapped in her blanket and sleeping soundly.

She didn’t even wake up when he entered her room and called her.

***

Winter nights were long. It was only a bit past five in the evening. The cold wind blew, and it was already dark outside.

Fu Chen sat in her room for around three hours. When it was ti for dinner, he woke her up to eat and take her dicine. She groaned as she wrapped the blanket tightly around herself and ignored him.

He didn’t even know how he had managed to coax her to swallow the two pills.

She turned over, and her back faced him.

It wasn’t until past ten at night that Fu Chen finished his work. He saw that she was still sleeping very soundly and called her a few tis but was ignored.

His heart skipped a beat, and he lay down beside her with his clothes still on. Through the blanket, he gently covered her hands to warm them.

His movents were careful and restrained, fearing that he would wake her up.

After all, he was taking advantage of her. He was seriously no different from a thief.

***

The two of them were already asleep, but Duan Linbai was a night owl. After dinner, he browsed through Weibo for an hour or two. Then he opened up PUBG and played two rounds. The weather was cold and dry, so he licked his lips and prepared to go downstairs to get sothing to drink.

It was already 1:30 a.m.

There were only a few dim wall lights in the living room. He lowered his voice and was rummaging in the fridge for a long ti. “Green tea, Longjing tea, white tea…”

What the f*ck?

There’s nothing else to drink?

In the end, he finally found a box of yogurt inside. He inserted a straw and took a big sip. Suddenly, he noticed sothing strange at the door.

Soone seed to be opening the door.

Duan Linbai licked the corner of his lips and didn’t dare to make a sound.

Fu Chen’s house had a fingerprint password lock. He heard the sound of buttons being pressed from outside, followed by the wrong password sound.

What the f*ck?!

Which little thief actually ca here in the middle of the night to steal? Are all of Fu Chen’s security guards dead-asleep?

He swallowed his saliva, looked around, picked up the thin-necked vase beside him, and tiptoed to the door.

The person tried the password a few tis. Duan Linbai was nervous.?F*ck. If you really dare to co in, I’ll smash your dog head.

Logically speaking, a password lock shouldn’t be easy to unlock. But after this person tried a few tis, Duan Linbai suddenly heard the sound of the door lock twisting and the door opening.

A chill swept over him. Duan Linbai shuddered. He raised the vase and got ready to throw it at the person at the door.

“Hey! You little thief, I’ll f*cking kill you!”

It was too dark outside. The man was standing against the light and was wearing a long black down jacket. When he saw Duan Linbai rushing at him, he was stunned for a second and took two steps back.

“You still f*cking dare to dodge? Coming here to steal, where did you get the guts…” Duan Linbai hurled the vase at him.

The man dodged.

But the next second…

A piercing cold light seed to tear a hole in the dark night sky, breaking through the wind…

… and pressed against his neck.

“Don’t move.”

The man’s voice was low. When he spoke, Duan Linbai could clearly sll the scent of tobacco. The light at the porch was dim, and Duan Linbai felt the coldness against his neck…

This is clearly…

He looked up and saw the man in front of him. The man was tall and cold, and his eyes were as deep as the sea.

These f*cking thieves these days are so arrogant and bold. They don’t even wear masks when robbing houses?

He looks pretty good, yet he actually went to be a thief?

I almost forgot that such outlaws definitely would have weapons for self-defense.

Damn it. You better not f*cking fall into my hands!
