Shen Xi was a little anxious upon hearing this, "Impossible, how could it be so fast?"
"Exactly four. How about I count them for you?" Qin Si Ye refused to let it go and insisted on counting them for her.
"In the ancient city counts as one. Helping Mayor Abel get rid of those merchants of unknown origin. In the cinema, rescuing you from Song Kai Cheng's side. And today's incident. Exactly four."
Shen Xi stared at him with wide eyes, "Qin Si Ye, you're quite good at counting. In my book, only the ancient city incident counts as one, the others don't."
"Why?" Qin Si Ye frowned.
"To help Mayor Abel, you weren't just doing it for me, but also for your development here.
Watching the movie doesn't count either; in the end, it forced me to make up many lies to explain things clearly.
Today's incident definitely doesn't count. If you hadn't asked me to meet him, how could everything that happened afterward have occurred?" Shen Xi argued fiercely, absolutely unwilling to let him easily accumulate so many "thank yous."
Upon hearing this, the sun that had just risen in Qin Si Ye's heart seemed to be suddenly obscured by a dark cloud.
However, what she said seemed to have some logic. Those three were indeed a bit far-fetched.
"Alright. One is one, as you say."
Although they had only collected one "thank you" in these past few days, their relationship had developed by leaps and bounds.
He could not only hug her wantonly and hold her hand, but he had even kissed her lips.
Although she resisted a little, and sometimes even got angry, she had not strongly forbidden him from doing so.
And the most important point, he had "defeated" a powerful romantic rival.
After washing her face, Shen Xi picked up the basin and was about to walk to the washroom. Qin Si Ye suddenly grabbed her arm.
"Xi Xi, I've sweated a lot today. Please fetch some more water. I want to wipe myself down."
"Oh." Shen Xi replied and continued to walk forward.
After fetching another basin of water and placing it down, Shen Xi quickly took his pajamas out of her bag and placed them on the bed. She then wrung out a towel and handed it to him.
"Aren't you going to help me?" the man asked shamelessly, not taking the towel.
Shen Xi's face flushed, and she glared at him with slightly cold eyes, "Qin Si Ye, don't push your luck. If you continue like this, I'll leave."
"Alright, alright. I'll do it myself." Seeing this, Qin Si Ye quickly pulled her arm and hastily took off his upper garment.
Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. Her little face burned even redder, and she flusteredly turned her back.
With a slight curve of his lips, Qin Si Ye took the towel from her hand.
Half a minute later, he handed the towel back to her, "I can't reach my back, you'll have to help me."
"Ah?" Shen Xi's body trembled slightly. She slowly turned around, her head lowered, feeling somewhat lost.
At this moment, the man suddenly sneezed, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up! I'm a bit cold, don't want to catch a cold."
"Oh." Shen Xi, hearing this, disregarded everything else. She lowered her head, placed the towel in the water, wrung it out after a few turns, closed her eyes, and quickly wiped his back a few times.
Qin Si Ye watched her flustered expression, putting on his clothes, and smiled with a curve of his lips, "Xi Xi, look how nervous you are. You'll see every part of me sooner or later, why are you so shy."
"Qin Si Ye, stop talking," Shen Xi said, her head lowered, her ears burning like fire. She placed the towel back in the water, wrung it out after three turns, handed it to him, and strode towards the bathroom.
She had to escape from here quickly. What if this man asked her to help him wipe his legs? That... that would be too embarrassing.
She never expected that his injured leg would end up causing her trouble.
Five minutes later, when she came out, Qin Si Ye had already changed into his pajamas.
Shen Xi carried the basin of water into the bathroom and dumped it out.
Taking her own pajamas and removing her mask, she went in for a hot shower. As soon as she sat down on the accompanying bed next door, Qin Si Ye made another request, "Xi Xi, I want to drink some water."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi quickly went over and poured him a cup of water.
Qin Si Ye took it and drank it all in one gulp.
After placing the cup down, Shen Xi was about to turn away when Qin Si Ye reached out and pulled her back with force.
This sudden movement caused her body to spin around instantly. Losing her balance, she lunged straight into his arms.
Her face pressed directly against his scorching chest. Shen Xi, in a panic, tried to stand up, but the man below suddenly wrapped his arms around her.
"Xi Xi, don't go, I want to sleep with you in my arms."
