Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Chen Bitong's face changed drastically. She looked at Lin Tinghan in shock, "Tinghan, I didn't! I've been framed!"

Lin Tinghan stood up from beside Lin Ziheng with a surprised look, blocking the police officer's path: "What are you saying? There must be a misunderstanding!"

……

After leaving the police station, Si Nian bought two servings of congee and returned to the hospital.

She still has some difficulty swallowing, and even drinking water makes her throat hurt.

Xie Jingyao's condition must be more serious than hers, so she specially bought two bowls of light porridge for easy eating.

Si Nian arrived at the ward door and was about to push it open when...

But then he saw that there was another woman in the ward.

Qin Qing said to Xie Jingyao with a hint of complaint, "You had to play the hero without any regard for your own safety. Now look what happened, you can't even go to your last game before retiring. You'll regret it for the rest of your life."

Xie Jingyao leaned against the headboard, his hands folded behind his head, his eyes closed, looking as if he were resting.

Qin Qing continued, "You're so carefree, I don't see you regretting it at all."

"Between human life and the competition, human life is definitely more important."

"Yes, yes, you're right. At that time, no one but you could have saved her, right? Even the fire department couldn't save her. Only our Brother Yao could save the beauty."

Xie Jingyao clicked his tongue, "Why does this sound so unpleasant to me? It's full of sarcastic remarks."

Qin Qing chuckled and punched his arm lightly. "Not bad, you weren't stunned, and you can still tell I'm being sarcastic."

"I'm going to sleep now. Goodbye."

"Honestly, are you and Wen Shuang's sister-in-law really close? Close enough that you'd risk your life to save her? I heard her husband was there too, but he didn't dare go in to help."

Xie Jingyao opened his eyes.

Just then, I saw Si Nian standing at the door.

His gaze skipped Qin Qing and landed on Si Nian. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "What were you eavesdropping on?"

Si Nian coughed lightly and walked into the ward. "I wasn't eavesdropping. I just arrived."

Xie Jingyao's gaze fell on the food bag she was carrying. "Knowing to bring lunch to your savior, you seem to be a grateful person."

He casually took the porridge that Si Nian handed him.

Then, he threw the question Qin Qing had just asked her at her: "Are we good friends in private?"

"..."

Si Nian pretended not to hear and silently opened the food bag.

When Qin Qing saw Si Nian approaching, she went up to her, put her hand on her shoulder, and asked as if checking her over, "Darling, how are you? Were you burned?"

Si Nian was somewhat unaccustomed to the intimate nicknames that Qin Qing frequently used for her.

She leaned back slightly, creating some distance between her face and Qin Qing's, and politely replied, "You're not hurt, thank you for your concern."

"That's good, otherwise it would be such a pity if such a beautiful girl got burned and had scars."

After Qin Qing released Si Nian, she said to Xie Jingyao, "You got yourself into the hospital for observation, but you protected the beautiful woman very well. I guess I have to praise you."

Xie Jingyao remained in a semi-reclining position on the bed.

He pointed to his mouth and looked at Si Nian.

Si Nian understood perfectly that Xie Jingyao wanted her to feed him.

Once, when they were abroad, Si Nian's bag was stolen by a black guy who was passing by.

Xie Jingyao chased after the purse snatcher and fought with him, successfully getting the purse back for him, though he ended up with a bruised face and a punch.

At the time, Xie Jingyao was not seriously injured; his injuries were much less severe than the other party's.

But for those few days, he deliberately acted as if he had broken his arms and legs.

She insists on being fed and watered by Si Nian herself, otherwise she clings to Si Nian and whimpers that she hurts all over.

Si Nian could tell that he was deliberately cheating.

But who could blame her when he truly became her savior this time?

So Si Nian patiently placed the small table on the bed, then took out the porridge, stirred it with a spoon, and fed it to him.

Xie Jingyao opened his mouth and ate it with satisfaction.

Qin Qing looked at this scene and felt a little strange: "Is your hand injured?"

Xie Jingyao scoffed, "What do you know? She's just feeling sorry for her savior, is that wrong?"

Qin Qing: "..."

Even a passing dog could smell the unusual relationship between Xie Jingyao and Si Nian, let alone a discerning person.

Qin Qing seemed hesitant to speak, then made an excuse and left.

After the ward door was closed, Xie Jingyao pulled Si Nian's arm and made her sit down next to him, and then put his arm around Si Nian's waist.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Si Nian asked, turning around.

Xie Jingyao hummed in agreement, "My throat hurts, I'm not eating."

Si Nian felt a kiss on the back of her neck.

She didn't dodge, letting the man behind her kiss her a few times.

She hesitated before saying, "Xie Jingyao, I want to tell you something..."
