A skin-thirsty episode occurred, in her brother's arms.

Qin Ge felt regretful, but he was diligently giving Xu Xingchen a massage.

When he was training to swim, he often needed to massage his muscles to relax them, and he and Xu Xingchen both learned this skill.

Qin Ge's massage became impatient, and Xu Xingchen lay down by the hot spring pool, almost falling asleep.

Qin Ge was unwilling to give up, so she moved closer to him again and whispered seductive words in his ear.

"Does the guest really not need it? I can do it for free."

"I am very clean."

Xu Xingchen hadn't expected that Qin Ge's part had a plot, so he went along with it.

Xu Xingchen said lazily, "No, just do your job properly, or I'll complain about you and make you lose your job."

Qin Ge's voice sounded even more aggrieved, "I will work hard, please don't complain about me, my whole family depends on me to earn money to support them."

Xu Xingchen became interested. "You have family?"

"Yes, I also have a younger brother whom I raised myself. He's doing very well in school and is still studying. He's the smartest person around here, as beautiful as a star in the sky."

Qin Ge talked on and on, praising his "younger brother" to the skies in front of Xu Xingchen, showering him with all sorts of wonderful words.

There is nothing like it in heaven or on earth.

Xu Xingchen couldn't help but scratch the bottom of the pool with his toes.

"Alright, alright, I need to be quiet, stop talking."

The hot spring water was so comfortable, and Qin Ge's technique was also good. Xu Xingchen, who hadn't slept well for a long time, became increasingly drowsy.

Before he fell completely asleep, he felt a familiar presence.

Qin Ge reached out and supported Xu Xingchen's head.

Once he was completely asleep, I picked him up, dried him off, wrapped him in a bathrobe, and carried him to the room.

Throughout the entire time, Xu Xingchen obediently leaned against him. If he moved a little too much, Xu Xingchen would drowsily open her eyes, glance at him, and then continue sleeping.

They're so cute!

Qin Ge hadn't gone far when he bumped into Dai He and Li Zhoubai again.

The two seemed to be arguing; they were pulling and tugging at each other, and because they were a bit far apart, I couldn't hear what they were saying.

Upon seeing Qin Ge, both of them became somewhat awkward.

Qian Leilei raised his hand, wanting to say hello, but Qin Ge made a shushing gesture.

Qian Leilei then noticed that Xu Xing was asleep.

He lowered his voice, "Have you finished soaking or are you just about to?"

"it's over."

"Want to grab a bite together later?" Qian Leilei had a lot to say to Xu Xingchen.

These words can't be seen by Qin Ge. Qin Ge is like a pervert, constantly going through Xu Xingchen's phone, which makes him afraid to talk to Xingchen on his phone anymore.

Because he had no idea whether the person on the other end of the message was Xu Xingchen or Qin Ge.

Qin Ge hugged Xu Xingchen tightly, burying his head in his chest, and stroked his head soothingly twice. Xu Xingchen fell asleep again.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Ge was so gentle it was as if he were possessed by a ghost, and he was even humming some soothing music softly.

Qian Leilei shook off the goosebumps on his body.

Honestly, even when he was with Li Zhoubai, he wasn't as... cheesy as Qin Ge.

Is he really not secretly in love with Xingxing, waiting to devour her whole?

Qin Ge gently raised her eyelids and glanced at him. "It's inconvenient."

Qian Leilei: ? ? ?

"Qin Ge!"

The stars aren't his personal property, yet he's always been overprotective of them, like a mother hen.

No, it's even stricter than protecting one's own offspring.

Qin Ge ignored them and carried Xu Xingchen away.

Qian Leilei wanted to follow, but Li Zhoubai stopped him, saying, "Don't get involved in what's between them."

These two are truly a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.

Qian Leilei always felt that Qin Ge liked Xu Xingchen, but he stubbornly refused to admit it. He, on the other hand, felt that Xu Xingchen's feelings for him were no less than Qin Ge's.

If Xu Xingchen really wasn't willing, could Qin Ge have gone to such lengths?

Qian Leilei was furious. "He's gone too far! What's the difference between this and being a psychopath? I can understand him stargazing on his phone all the time, but now he won't even let me eat a meal with him?"

"Who is it?"

"My cousin should really get checked out; I feel like he's become mentally disturbed."

Li Zhoubai pulled Qian Leilei along, "Okay."

Qian Leilei was furious. "All you ever say is 'okay'? You didn't even try to stop it."

Li Zhoubai, "...Try it next time."

Qian Leilei rubbed his hands together, eager to prove himself. "Once Xingxing wakes up, I refuse to believe it."

Xu Xingchen slept until eight o'clock in the evening.

When he woke up, the room was lit by a soft bedside lamp.

He leaned against Qin Ge's chest.

Qin Ge had one arm around him while using the other to process work messages on his phone.

Heaven has been too kind to Qin Ge; he's handsome from every angle, even from this disastrously unflattering perspective.

The classic eyebrow shape, with very dark eyebrows and eyelashes, and sharp angles.

She has a high, straight nose, and her lips unconsciously purse when she sees work-related news.

The Adam's apple protrudes noticeably.

Xu Xingchen only glanced at him for a few seconds before Qin Ge immediately noticed he was awake, and his expression softened instantly.

"You're awake. What would you like to eat? I'll have someone bring it up."

Xu Xingchen isn't particularly picky about food. "Anything is fine with me."

Qin Ge quickly ordered several dishes.

The company has recently encountered a tricky situation, which he is currently dealing with.

Since it wasn't convenient to handle things on his phone, he simply took out his computer and immediately started an online meeting.

Xu Xingchen stared at Qin Ge meaninglessly for a long time.

My gaze remained fixed on Qin Ge until the delivery person arrived, bringing other things in addition to lunch.

Qin Ge: "Alright, that's all for now. Everyone, proceed with the rectification according to the plan. I'll see the results the day after tomorrow."

He hung up the video call, sat down next to Xu Xingchen, and casually swapped out some of Xu Xingchen's favorite dishes and placed them in front of him.

"Eat quickly, you're a little late again today. You can't eat dinner this late in the future."

"If it weren't for the fact that you've been too tired lately and I didn't want to wake you up, I wouldn't have disrupted your mealtime."

"I ordered all nourishing dishes; you've lost weight."

Xu Xingchen didn't have a good appetite and ate very slowly, which made Qin Ge's eyebrows furrow, wishing he could hand-feed him.

Qin Ge spoke in a coaxing tone, as if speaking to a child, "After you finish eating, I have a present for you~"

Xu Xingchen, "What gift?"

Qin Ge, "You'll know after you finish eating."

He tilted his head. "You should like it."

He imagined what those clothes would look like on him, then said with absolute certainty, "You'll definitely like them."

Yes, that's how confident I am.

Xu Xingchen became interested, finished the small half bowl of rice in his bowl, and then sat down and looked at Qin Ge.

Qin Ge, "Wait for me a moment."

The items were in the walk-in closet. He quickly stripped naked and took out the pile of things he had bought.

Some of them were too small for him to wear.

So he settled for something less, changing into a plain-looking shirt and suit pants.

The instructions say that it works best after wetting the container.
