Diary of Getting Rich Quick in the South

A faint fragrance wafted towards me, and a warm, soft body pressed against me.

My mind went completely blank, my heart was pounding, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to move.

"Wan..."

I had barely uttered a word when a warm hand covered my mouth.

Shh, it's me!

Zhang Dongting?

I looked at the person in my arms in the dim light.

With her delicate features and well-defined contours, it really is Zhang Dongting!

Wait, what's this girl doing here?

I glanced at the closed door and asked in a low voice, "Sister Ting, what brings you here? I thought..."

"What did you think? You thought Su Wan was sneaking into your bed? You wish!"

Zhang Dong gently shifted his body in my arms, finding a comfortable position to lie down. He lightly brushed his fingertips across the gauze on my forehead, looking at me with concern: "You, how did you get beaten up like this again? You never give me any peace of mind."

Seeing the thin layer of tears in her eyes, my heart skipped a beat, and I instinctively tightened my grip on her waist: "What do you mean 'again'? It's not like I get beaten up all the time."

"Isn't that right?"

Zhang Dongting gently stroked my wound with her fingertips: "How many times have you been injured because of Su Wan? Can't you just stay quiet for a day? You're not some thug, why are you always getting into fights?"

I laughed and hugged her, pressing my forehead against hers and teasingly asking, "Jealous?"

Zhang Dongting snuggled closer to me, her tone sour and tinged with resentment.

"Yes, I'm jealous, is that a problem? Every time you get hurt, it's because of Su Wan. People who don't know better would think Su Wan is your girlfriend. You protect her in everything and risk your life for her every time."

I looked at her seriously and said, "Don't talk nonsense. She's my cousin-in-law. It's only right that I protect her. I have no other intentions."

Zhang Dongting curled her lip: "Keep pretending! Last time, I don't know who mistook me for her, they were so aggressive, they almost broke my back."

Is this something you can just say so casually?

Afraid that she would say something even more outrageous, I quickly changed the subject: "Don't talk nonsense. Why did you sneak over here in the middle of the night? It would be so embarrassing if Sister Wan found out."

Zhang Dongting gently pinched my waist with her hand, her voice carrying a hint of grievance.

"It's all because of you! Su Wan messaged me to tell me you were injured, and I rushed over immediately. Afraid she would notice something was wrong, I waited downstairs the whole time. I only dared to sneak upstairs after I saw the lights were off upstairs."

Hearing this, I felt both warm and heavy inside.

She's the CEO of a big company, usually so glamorous and respectable, but now she's willing to lower herself and stand downstairs in the cold wind in the middle of the night, just to come up and see me.

This sentiment is truly profound.

I tightened my arms around her, holding her even closer, and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Ting."

Zhang Dongting gently licked the corner of her lips with the tip of her tongue, her eyes sparkling: "It's good that you know it's hard work. So, how do you plan to repay your sister?"

I looked at her, both amused and exasperated: "Sis, are you sure you came here specifically to see me? To me, you look like you came here with ulterior motives."

"Mind your own business!"

Zhang Dongting stared at me with slightly flushed cheeks.

I reached out and held her arm, whispering, "Stop it! Your voice is as loud as a lioness's roar. This house isn't very soundproof; what if Sister Wan hears us..."

Zhang Dongting wasn't afraid at all. She leaned down and whispered in my ear, "I specifically went to her door to listen before coming in. She was already asleep, so I couldn't wake her up."

I touched the gauze on my forehead, feigning weakness: "I'm wounded, and I still have a head injury, so it's inconvenient for me to move..."

Zhang Dongting flipped over and straddled me: "You don't need to move, I'll do it."

……

When I woke up the next day, Zhang Dongting had already left, leaving me a note.

"Little Chen, I'm very satisfied with your performance last night. I'll reward you with 30,000 yuan to buy yourself some supplements. I've also left some little surprises for you to discover yourself."

Did they leave me a little surprise?

I looked around and found a pair of large black glasses and another note under the pillow next to me.

"Surprised? Your sister-in-law is here, so I can't come over these few days. If you miss your sister, you can take a look, but you can't use it for anything bad, okay?"

No, if she left this thing behind, wouldn't that mean she...

That vixen!

Just as I was about to call her and scold her, Su Wan walked in with a bowl of chicken soup.

"You're awake? I made you some chicken soup. Get up and taste it to see if it's salty enough."

I instinctively reached for the blanket, but then I suddenly remembered what was next to me. Startled, I quickly stuffed it under the blanket and lay back down.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that I lay back down, Su Wan was startled. She quickly walked to the bedside, put down the chicken soup she was holding, and came to help me up.

I quickly raised my hand to stop her: "Sister Wan, I'm fine, I just suddenly feel a little dizzy."

Upon hearing what I said, Su Wan became even more nervous. She touched the injured spot on my head and asked worriedly, "Does your head hurt again? Should we go to the hospital now?"

I quickly said it was nothing, I just needed to rest for a while.

"Are you really alright?" Su Wan asked uncertainly.

I shook my head and said I was really fine.

Su Wan stared at me for several seconds before she was relieved to see that I was alright.

She picked up the chicken soup from the side, scooped up a spoonful, blew on the oil on it, and fed it to my mouth: "Then drink some chicken soup and get a good night's sleep. I've already messaged Dongting to ask for leave for you, and she told you to rest at home."

After saying that, she added with a smile, "She said you take leave every few days, and that she'll give you a good talking-to when you get back to the company."

I thought to myself, she already gave me a good talking-to last night, you just don't know it.

Seeing her raise her hand to feed me, I quickly reached out and took the bowl from her: "Sister Wan, I can do it myself."

Su Wan didn't force me. She pulled up a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching me drink the soup.

I was afraid she would see the "evidence" left by Zhang Dongting, so I didn't dare to move it and just stood there frozen.

She was sitting very close; I could touch her with just a slight raise of my arm, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable, and I didn't dare to look up at her at all.

Regardless of whether it was hot or not, they just kept their heads down and put it in their mouths.

Su Wan pulled out a tissue and gently wiped the grease from the corner of my mouth: "You're so old, yet you still eat like a child. Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. You're making a mess of your mouth."

Her face was so close to mine that I could clearly see the soft downy hairs on her cheeks. My heart started racing, and I guiltily turned my head away, unable to look at her.

Seeing my shy expression, Su Wan laughed even harder: "Oh, so you're shy now? Weren't you quite imposing when you were hitting someone last night?"

I didn't dare to reply, and could only bury my head and quickly drink my soup.

After a bowl of warm soup, my stomach felt cozy, but my mind was in turmoil, and my heart wouldn't calm down.

Seeing that I had finished drinking, Su Wan took the empty bowl and put it aside.

"Last night scared me to death. Remember this, never be so impulsive again, understand?"

I hummed in agreement and replied softly, "I just don't want you to suffer."

Upon hearing this, Su Wan paused, and for some unknown reason, the tenderness in her eyes deepened.

She sighed softly and smiled, "I know you're protecting me, but you also need to take good care of yourself. If something happens to you, I really don't know what I'll do."

Normally, I would definitely chat with her more, but at this moment I just wanted her to leave as soon as possible.

Who knows what little surprise Zhang Dongting has left behind? It would be troublesome if she saw it.

After chatting with me for a while, Su Wan noticed that I was a little absent-minded and thought I was really dizzy. She gently tucked the blanket around me and gave me some advice.

"Then you should get some rest. I'll go to the club to resign first, and then go buy some equipment for live streaming..."

Before she could even utter the word "prepare," she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What's on your bed? Why is it all sticky?"

Su Wan took her hand out from under the covers and subconsciously brought it to her nose to smell it.

Before I could react, she used two fingers to pick up a small wad of black fabric from under my blanket...
