Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 1013 The Reserved Academic Genius vs. the Sweet Girl (5)

Shen Shuyi held her phone tightly and said in a sweet voice, "Grandma, I'm having tutoring at Yi-ge's house tonight. I'll be back later, so you don't need to wait for me for dinner."

Upon hearing this, Grandma on the other end of the phone immediately smiled, her tone full of relief: "Alright, alright, you can focus on your studies. We'll save dinner for you."

Shen Shuyi hung up the phone, her tense nerves relaxing slightly. She looked up at Xiao Yi beside her, her eyes showing a hint of weakness.

Xiao Yi looked down at her swollen ankle. "I've arrived in a taxi. I'll help you out."

Shen Shuyi could no longer refuse and could only nod slightly.

Xiao Yi carefully supported her, half-embracing her waist, and steadily walked out of the courtyard, driving to the nearest hospital.

After an examination, the doctor confirmed that it was just a sprained ankle, without any fracture. He prescribed a topical anti-swelling ointment and instructed the patient to apply it daily, avoid walking, and rest for a few days to recover.

After getting the medicine, Xiao Yi took her back home.

A gentle evening breeze swept through the courtyard, dispelling the daytime heat.

Shen Shuyi sat on the rattan chair, looking at the medicine bag in her hand, and spoke softly, her eyes gentle and sincere: "Thank you so much for today, Brother Yi. I don't know what I would have done without you. I'm so grateful for all the trouble you've gone through and the time you've taken up."

"Oh right, your braised pork noodles."

By now, the noodles would probably be soggy.

Xiao Yi handed her the medicine, saying, "It's alright, you should go back now."

"Okay." Shen Shuyi walked with a slight limp.

Xiao Yi saw her out of the yard, and when he saw the basket of neatly cut grapes, he picked up the bamboo basket and chased after her.

"I'll walk you home."

"Ah? Okay!" Shen Shuyi hid the medicine.

The Xiang family villa was right next door. Xiao Yi dropped Shen Shuyi off at the door and let her walk away on her own.

Shen Shuyi gestured to Xiao Yi, "Brother Yi, you talk to my grandparents for a bit, I'll slowly walk in."

"That way they won't notice I twisted my ankle!"

Her parents were so worried that she had no choice but to keep it a secret, thinking that things would be fine in a few days anyway.

"Okay." Xiao Yi helped her walk out.

Shen Shuyi suddenly remembered something and quickly took out her phone, "Brother Yi, let me add you on QQ!"

Xiao Yi paused for a moment, then recited a string of numbers.

Shen Shuyi immediately added him on QQ after finding his contact information and even added a note to his profile.

As expected, the two elders did not notice that Shen Shuyi had sprained her leg. After eating, Shen Shuyi went to her room.

She took a slow shower, and when she sat back down on the bed, she was too tired to move.

After showering, the ointment on my ankle was washed off, and I had to reapply it.

Shen Shuyi took out the medicinal oil, but before she could pour it on and rub it in, the system immediately spoke up.

[Host! Such a good opportunity, aren't you going to leave it for your target? He already has 5% affection for you!]
Shen Shuyi pondered, "He must want to repay his grandparents for taking care of him over the years, which is why he is so considerate of me."

"But you're right, this is indeed an opportunity to get closer, but he'll probably avoid suspicion and might not be able to call people over."

[Dear host, please give it a try!]
Shen Shuyi glanced at the sky, then took out her phone to send a message to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi cooked another bowl of noodles and ate it. After taking a shower, he sat down at his desk to read a book when his phone on the desk suddenly vibrated.

He pointed out the information.

[Brother Yi, the doctor said this medicated oil needs to be massaged in to be effective. I just washed it off, but I'm too afraid of the pain to massage it myself. Could you come and help me?]
Before he could reply, a second message popped up.

[Could I borrow your textbooks for grades 10 and 11? My grades are terrible, I need to go through them all again systematically.]
Xiao Yi put down her phone, found her textbooks, folded them neatly, put them in a cardboard box, and carried them to the next room.

"Grandpa Xiang, I've come to see Shen. She wants to borrow some books from me to help her with her studies."

"Ah Yi, if you have some free time, could you tutor Xiao Yi? She's transferring to No. 1 Middle School this fall." Grandpa Xiang especially liked Xiao Yi, thinking he was filial and smart. "Yes, no problem," Xiao Yi nodded.

The old lady also came over, "Ah Yi, thank you so much!"

"Grandma, please don't be so polite. I'll give the book to Shen first."

"Oh, you're too polite, child. Xiaoyi is a few months younger than you. You can just call her Xiaoyi or call her little sister."

Xiao Yi had never called anyone "sister" before, so he felt a little awkward. He nodded and quickened his pace toward the room the old lady had indicated.

"Knock knock~"

"Brother Yi, I just heard you talking to Grandma and the others." Shen Shuyi opened the door and let Xiao Yi in.

Seeing that she was about to close the door, Xiao Yi quickly said, "No need to close the door."

Shen Shuyi closed the door. "That won't do. What if they see me applying the medicine?"

Looking at her innocent and unguarded face, Xiao Yi was at a loss for words.

He still added a reminder, "Don't be alone with a man in an enclosed room."

“Brother Yi, you’re not a stranger.” Shen Shuyi said with an air of understanding, “My mother told me this, but I trust your character.”

Xiao Yi didn't understand why she trusted a boy she had only known for a few days so much. His eyes were only on what was in front of him, and he didn't even glance at the layout of Shen Shuyi's room.

"Feel free to ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

Shen Shuyi sat down and said, "Tutoring isn't something that can be rushed in a day or two. Anyway, my grades are really bad, so there's no need to rush it."

"Brother Yi, could you please apply the medicine for me first?"

Xiao Yi took the medicated oil from her hand and squatted down in front of her, his gaze falling on her swollen ankle.

He recalled the doctor's technique for applying the medicine, poured out some medicated oil, and applied it to the affected area.

Shen Shuyi looked at him, who was focused on looking down, and suddenly noticed that his ears were red.

Xiao Yi's expression remained calm, but touching the smooth skin still stirred a subtle feeling within him.

This was the first time he had ever been so close to a girl.

He wanted to finish applying the medicine and leave quickly, so he inevitably applied a little too much pressure.

"Ouch, that hurts," Shen Shuyi cried out softly.

Xiao Yi quickly let go of his hand, "Sorry."

Shen Shuyi looked down at him, "Brother Yi, please continue. I want to get better quickly, otherwise Grandma and the others will worry."

Xiao Yi nodded and poured some more medicated oil to massage her.

When it was over, he quickly got up, washed his hands, and left.

Shen Shuyi stopped him, "I'll come to your house for tutoring tomorrow morning, anyway, Xiaotian is coming to the barbecue."

"Is it okay, Brother Yi?"

"Row."

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but laugh as she watched him stride away.

"66, the boys' high school is so innocent. I feel like the mission in this little world should be relatively simple. Just treat it as a vacation."

[Dear host, don't relax too much. Xiao Yi has some unresolved issues, so it's probably difficult for him to wholeheartedly fall in love with someone.]
Shen Shuyi said, "I know. I heard that his parents got married because of a free love relationship, but later they got so tired of each other that they divorced and never spoke to each other again. After the divorce, they even caused a lot of trouble in the fight for custody of Xiao Yi."

Xiao Yi felt suffocated in her family from a young age, and it was indeed difficult for her to start a new family with someone.

However, she was still quite confident.

[Host, the Ye family knows you're transferring schools and that you and Ye Feng have had a falling out. Ye's father is scolding Ye Feng right now. Would you like to come and watch the show?]
