She forcefully broke free from her own grip, kicked the man beside her twice.
Qin Si Ye, deep in sleep, was caught off guard and almost kicked off the bed.
He grunted twice, quickly sat up holding the bedside cabinet, turned on the bright light, and asked worriedly, "Xi Xi, what's wrong?"
Shen Xi then saw the man's face beside her clearly.
"Qin Si Ye, how can it be you? How can you be sleeping with me?"
Qin Si Ye cradled his injured thigh with one hand and said aggrievedly, "Do you wish it were someone else?"
Hearing this, Shen Xi's beautiful peach blossom eyes blinked, and everything she experienced yesterday flashed through her mind.
Thinking of the helpless and frightened scene in that room, her body trembled, and she suddenly burst into tears.
Seeing this, Qin Si Ye panicked. He immediately moved closer to her, gently pulled her into his embrace, "Xi Xi, calm down, it's okay, it's all over now."
Crying in his arms for a long time, Shen Xi finally calmed her emotions.
Qin Si Ye held her tightly, his heart aching.
This was the first time she had cried so sadly in front of him since he had known her.
It seemed that everything yesterday had truly scared her.
After a while, Shen Xi looked up and scanned her surroundings, finally realizing that this was Qin Si Ye's bedroom in Xing Lan Bay.
"I... how did I end up sleeping here?"
But before Qin Si Ye could reply, she suddenly grabbed her pajamas and asked with wide eyes:
"Ah! Qin Si Ye, what is going on? Who changed my clothes?
You... what did you do to me?"
Qin Si Ye looked at her with an innocent expression, "Xi Xi, if I said I did nothing, would you believe me?"
"How is that possible? If you did nothing, then why am I in your bed? Who changed my clothes?" Shen Xi shook her head, swung her fists, and hit him a few times,
"Qin Si Ye, you are such a scoundrel, you opportunist. I don't want to talk to you anymore, I'm leaving here."
With that, she rolled out of bed. But as soon as her feet touched the ground, she stumbled.
Qin Si Ye quickly got out of bed, caught her, and carried her back to the bed.
"Xi Xi, you are too weak right now, you can't go anywhere."
"Let me go. Don't touch me!" Shen Xi's eyes were filled with tears, and she glared at him angrily.
"I won't. Not unless you calm down and listen to me." Qin Si Ye remained unmoved, his tone firm.
"Fine. Speak." Shen Xi couldn't break free from him, so she compromised.
Qin Si Ye then slowly released his hand, took out his phone, and showed her the surveillance video from the living room yesterday.
"Look at this, and you'll understand."
Shen Xi slowly took the phone and saw in the video that Qin Si Ye got out of the car, carrying her, and walking upstairs with difficulty.
In another segment of the video, she saw Gu Lin rushing in with a first-aid kit.
Frowning slightly, Shen Xi looked up at the man in front of her, "Director Gu came yesterday and saved me?"
"Of course. If I were to use myself as your antidote, why would I have called him?" Qin Si Ye asked with a slight curl of his lips.
"But why didn't you send me to the hospital? You insisted on bringing me here? Your intentions are clearly impure." Shen Xi lowered her voice, her face flushed.
"What impure intentions? I was thinking of you. If you had seen your state yesterday with your own eyes, you would know why I didn't send you to the hospital."
Qin Si Ye's expression darkened, and he felt a bit angry.
He regretted it somewhat, thinking that if he had known she would be so wronged, he wouldn't have let Gu Lin come.
"Then... then why did you change my clothes?" Shen Xi stared at him with wide eyes.
"Because Gu Lin was late, and you kept clinging to me. I had no choice but to put you in the bathtub and pour cold water on you for a while. Your clothes were soaked, so I changed them for you," Qin Si Ye had to explain in detail.
He recalled that when he was pouring water on her yesterday, she had opened her eyes and resisted for a while. Had she forgotten everything now?
Shen Xi still found it difficult to accept after hearing his words. Even if he hadn't done "that," he had still seen her entire body.
It was so embarrassing.
She abruptly pulled the quilt over herself, covering her head, and lay flat on the bed, shouting, "You go out first."
Seeing her shy expression, Qin Si Ye's lips suddenly curved into a handsome arc, and he lowered his head to tug at the edge of the quilt.
"Xi Xi, don't be like this. If you feel that me changing your clothes offended you, I can take responsibility for you. How about we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate after it's dawn?"
