Chapter 216 Free Meal (Mu Bai)
After a while, the door to the emergency room opened, and the elderly man was wheeled out and transferred to the intensive care unit.

Outside the ward, Mumu thanked Aunt Sun again and asked her to go back and pack her things so she could come back tomorrow to relieve her.

As for the caregiver's wages for these few days, they will be doubled.

After everyone left with smiles on their faces, only he and Shen Zhaoyi remained in the corridor.

Mumu forced a smile. "Sister, it's too late. You should go home and rest too."

"Row."

It was indeed quite late, and Shen Zhaoyi didn't stand on ceremony with him.

However, before leaving, he didn't forget to remind her, "Tell me if you don't have enough money."

It's the only thing she can do.

Clearly, this statement is far more helpful than all the previous words of comfort.

Mumu felt a lump in her throat and suddenly wanted to reach out and hug the person in front of her, but she held back in the end.

"Is your sister this generous to everyone?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the person."

"It seems I'm quite special to my sister."

Shen Zhaoyi looked at him, her smile enigmatic, "Of course, a vixen, how could she not be special?"

When Mu Mu first heard this title, she was clearly not very accepting of it.

He pointed to himself and retorted, "Sister, vixens aren't this dark."

"some."

"Black Fox".

The response, like a dry joke, dispelled the oppressive atmosphere from before.

Mumu's mood improved, and she showed her first genuine smile since arriving at the hospital.

He stopped talking and urged Shen Zhaoyi to go back quickly, "Sister, be careful on the road, and send me a message when you get home."

"Well, I'll go first."

Her slender figure gradually walked away into the distance, and Mumu leaned against the cold wall.

The intensive care unit behind him was gripping his nerves, but the person in his sight was able to soothe that feeling perfectly.

Tonight is destined to be unbearable.

Shen Zhaoyi returned home and booked her flight to Hong Kong before going to bed.

The flight is scheduled for the afternoon of the 24th, so I can get a good rest after arriving and won't miss the game the next day.

Anyway, Pei Yan only told her to go and see how Chen Hong and Zhou Yiling performed, so she took it as fulfilling her duty as a boss. It would also be good to see what level these two teammates, whom this person was willing to vouch for, were really at.

Shen Zhaoyi slept well that night, and woke up naturally before nine o'clock the next morning.

I habitually reached for my phone to check the time, but before I even unlocked it, I saw Xu Meng's message on the home screen: "[Zhaoyi, that hypocritical gentleman is here.]"

Pretending to be serious?
Cheng Yubai!
After realizing what those words meant, she subconsciously sat up and glanced around the bedroom.

No joke, given Cheng Yubai's audacity, Shen Zhaoyi genuinely felt that this person would brazenly barge in.

Fortunately, she was overthinking it.

However, I didn't receive any messages on WeChat.

The last time I chatted with Cheng Yubai was the night before last.

After he liked the screenshot of the live broadcast of that party, he received several undisguised compliments in succession.

However, Shen Zhaoyi ignored her.

Could it be that you came here today to confront me and demand an explanation?

Although she disliked people who didn't reply to her messages, the reason she treated Cheng Yubai this way was because his words were too explicit.

Shen Zhaoyi was certain that if she had replied with even a single word back then, that person would probably have appeared at her doorstep the next second.

But isn't this a bit too eager so early in the morning?

She got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs, but didn't see the familiar figure in the living room.

He only realized it when he noticed Xu Meng standing next to the kitchen with a resentful look in her eyes, frantically gesturing at him.

Shen Zhaoyi walked over and saw Cheng Yubai sitting at the dining table, his shirt sleeves rolled up, ready to serve porridge. Goodness, he's taking on all the work; no wonder the nanny had that expression.

She chuckled and pinched Xu Meng's cheek, gesturing for her to go to the kitchen and help the aunties. She then went in herself, half-jokingly saying, "You really don't consider yourself an outsider?"

Upon hearing the sound, Cheng Yubai turned around and gestured for her to sit down. He then naturally stirred the porridge he had prepared and pushed it towards her.

"The temperature is just right, let's eat first."

Their carefree attitude made them feel like they were at home.

Shen Zhaoyi felt that the scene before her was both strange and absurd.

She didn't touch the spoon, but instead tapped the table with one hand and asked the other person why they had come.

Cheng Yubai's answer was reasonable, yet absurd.

He said, "I'm just getting a free meal."

Yes, I'm getting a free meal.

Shen Zhaoyi looked him up and down with an expression as if he were an idiot. Xu Meng had sent the message around 8 o'clock, so the time this person set off must have been pushed back even further.

You mean, going through all this trouble at six or seven o'clock, taking a detour just to eat a bowl of porridge?

"Did the breakfast shop outside close down?"

“No, I prefer eating at home.” Cheng Yubai pushed up his glasses, and behind the lenses, his peach blossom eyes curved into a gentle arc. He added, “I prefer being with you.”

"Cough." Shen Zhaoyi choked on the unexpected ambiguity.

Was he possessed?
What nonsense are you spouting so early in the morning!
Xu Meng peeked out from outside when she heard the noise, but quickly shrank back in after receiving a look from Cheng Yubai.

This gentleman was unlike any of the other men his boss had brought back.

He has a strong presence and is inexplicably dangerous.

Shen Zhaoyi didn't notice this little incident, but after she calmed down, she remembered something.

"How did you get in?"

She looked at the car keys on the table, somewhat puzzled.

Zhou Yi wouldn't just bring someone in without informing me. Could it be that he forgot to tell me?

Cheng Yubai's answer to this was:

"The security guards let us through directly."

They didn't mention a word about the fact that the license plate number had already been entered into the system.

Shen Zhaoyi naturally assumed that the face was so distinctive that people already recognized it, so the more complicated steps were omitted.

It's just that the overly humane security guard at Biyue Bay misled her thinking.

The rest of the breakfast time passed in a strange harmony.

After the meal, the aunties cleared the table, and Shen Zhaoyi was already giving them the hint to leave: "Now, can you go?"

Cheng Yubai fastened his cufflinks. He did indeed have this plan, but there was one more thing he hadn't mentioned before leaving.

Having worked as a streamer before, the screenshots from that day clearly showed it was from a live stream.

He's been busy with project experiments these days and has had little time for personal entertainment. He hasn't paid attention to Shen Zhaoyi's affairs for a long time.

When I got home that night, I spent ten minutes scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) before going to bed.

Spending tens of millions?

Sweet interaction?

A two-way race between the top-ranked fan and the livestreamer?

Cheng Yubai thought these marketing accounts were really brainless. Anyone who knew Shen Zhaoyi's past actions would know that she could do this to anyone.

However, the sight of those hands clasped together in the shot was quite jarring.

"I forgot to ask when we last met, but you haven't found me a younger brother or anything like that lately, have you?"

"?"

Shen Zhaoyi was full of question marks.

This guy really thinks this place is his home!
