The flirtatious girl is done flirting; Mr. He is now obsessed with her.

Bai Yishu bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes too embarrassed to know where to look.

In her memory, He Yun Shen rarely lived in the old house, so why did she run into him today when she brought He Wan Qing back?

She took a step back, her legs buckled, and she almost lost her balance.

He Yun Shen keenly noticed her unsteadiness, took a step forward to her side, but did not touch her. He simply stood very close to her, his voice carrying a hint of displeasure.

"How much did you drink?"

His faint fragrance, mixed with a familiar scent, enveloped Bai Yishu, making her feel somewhat distracted.

"I'm fine."

"You said you were fine, but you can barely stand up."

He Yun Shen snorted coldly, his tone revealing a hint of concern, but he still managed to support Bai Yi Shu's arm.

The warmth from his palms made Bai Yishu's cheeks, which were already flushed from being drunk, turn even redder.

Bai Yishu could clearly feel her cheeks burning. She kept cursing herself in her heart, trying to calm down, but her body still honestly craved the warmth between her arms.

He Yun Shen's eyes darkened, and he suddenly moved closer to her, bracing his other hand against the wall, trapping her between himself and the wall.

"Don't speak."

His voice trembled slightly, carrying emotions that had been suppressed for a long time. The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

As their breaths mingled, He Yun Shen's eyes grew even deeper, his gaze settling on Bai Yi Shu's slightly parted lips, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

"Yi Shu..."

His voice was low and husky as his fingertips gently touched her cheek, caressing the soft texture.

As Bai Yishu watched his face draw closer, she couldn't help but clench her clothes tightly, a strange longing rising in her heart.

He Yun Shen closed his eyes tightly, reason and emotion clashing fiercely in his heart. In the end, he stepped back slightly and let go.

"You're drunk, go to the guest room and rest."

Although Bai Yishu breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little disappointed. She shook her head and said, "No need, I'm going home."

Upon hearing this, He Yun Shen's face darkened, and the hand that had just loosened its grip grabbed her wrist again, the force not strong, but not allowing her to refuse.

"Don't leave."

Although his tone was domineering, a fleeting look of worry crossed his eyes.

"It's so late, and you're drunk like this, how are you going to get home?"

Bai Yishu gently pushed his hand away and turned to walk downstairs.

"I can take a taxi."

"No taxis allowed."

He Yun Shen suddenly grabbed her, pulled her back, and then embraced her. The sound of his heartbeat clearly reached Bai Yi Shu's ears.

"Stay here and behave."

Bai Yishu was startled by his action. At first, she was stiff all over and didn't dare to breathe.

Gradually, she began to crave the warmth of his embrace, and her body softened.

He Yunshen felt the person in his arms gradually calming down and thought she had fallen asleep, so he put one hand under her knees and lifted her up around the waist.

He opened the guest room door, gently placed Bai Yishu on the bed, and bent down to pull the blanket over her.

"Go to sleep."

He straightened up, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood by the bed and gazed at Bai Yishu.

Bai Yishu felt uncomfortable under his gaze and pulled the blanket up to her neck.

"You're leaving!"

Seeing that He Yun Shen showed no sign of leaving after a long time, she couldn't help but tell him to hurry up and leave.

He Yun Shen chuckled softly, his tone tinged with self-deprecation.

"If I leave, you'll probably start thinking about sneaking away again, won't you?"

Bai Yishu pouted. The thought had indeed flashed through her mind just now, but the bed was too comfortable, and she didn't want to get up now.

"So what do you want to do? Stay?"

He Yun Shen leaned over and braced his hands on the edge of the bed, suddenly moving closer to her until their noses almost touched.

"What would you do if I said... I want to stay?"

Bai Yishu's heart started racing again. She blinked and gripped the blanket tightly with both hands.

He Yun Shen noticed her little movements, a smile curving his lips, and then planted a light kiss on her cheek.

"Go to sleep. Call me if you need anything."

After He Yun Shen left, Bai Yi Shu listened to his footsteps fading into the distance, and a wave of sleepiness washed over her.

But she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did, tossing and turning in bed, her mind a complete mess.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

"Yi Shu, are you asleep?"

He Yun Shen's voice sounded outside the door. Bai Yi Shu didn't know why he came at this time, so she sat up and turned on a lamp by the bedside.

"Can... I come in?"

Bai Yishu responded to him, and after receiving permission, He Yunshen tiptoed into the room and closed the door behind him.

His gaze fell on Bai Yishu, carrying an inscrutable emotion.

"Can't sleep?"

"Why are you here?"

He Yun Shen walked slowly to the bedside and looked down at her.

"Let me see if you've kicked off the covers."

Bai Yishu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I won't kick off the covers."

"Yeah?"

He Yun Shen chuckled softly and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I'm worried about you being drunk."

He gazed at Bai Yishu for a moment, coughed lightly, and stood up, saying, "Would you like some water?"

"want."

He Yun Shen went out of the room to pour a glass of water. When he came back, he sat on the edge of the bed, handed her the glass of water, and gently supported her back with his other hand.

"Drink slowly."

Bai Yishu took the cup and drank it down in large gulps. The water wet her lips and slid down her chin. He Yunshen's eyes darkened, and he subconsciously reached out to wipe it away.

Bai Yishu paused in her drinking, feeling He Yunshen's cool fingertips rest on her lips. Time seemed to stand still, with only their breaths mingling in the silent room.

Bai Yishu lowered her head and handed him the empty cup in her hand.

He Yun Shen took the cup and put it aside. When he looked at her again, there was a hint of struggle in his eyes.

"Yi Shu..."

He took a deep breath, as if gathering his courage.

"I know I'm a bastard for taking Bai's shares that way... but I just... wanted to keep you by my side so badly."

He leaned closer to Bai Yishu, his deep voice echoing in the room.

"I admit I was despicable, but I don't regret doing it."

As Bai Yishu listened to his words, an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but the sound stuck in her throat.

When He Yun Shen saw her open her mouth, his eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but look forward to hearing what she would say.

"What? What are you trying to say?"

"I……"

Seeing that Bai Yishu seemed hesitant to speak, he felt a surge of anxiety, but fearing he might frighten her, he tried his best to suppress his emotions.

"Tell me anything, Yi Shu..."

I feel like throwing up.

Bai Yishu covered her mouth, trying hard to suppress the churning in her stomach, and managed to squeeze out a few words.

He Yun Shen's expression changed drastically. He quickly got up, placed the trash can by the bed, helped her sit up, and gently patted her back with one hand.

"Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
