From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 144: Chapter 142: You Got the Wrong Feeling_1

"Hurry up and eat, there are gloves inside, and here's some sour plum drink." Fang Ren sat opposite her and spoke.

Bai Qi, with her head hung low in embarrassment for a while, finally dared to slowly reach out and take a disposable glove. It was the first time she felt so ashamed that she couldn't even lift her head to glance at Fang Ren.

"Why is there only one pair of gloves?" Bai Qi asked.

"I already ate on my way back, you can eat it by yourself," Fang Ren replied.

"Really?" Bai Qi took a stealthy glance at him.

"Really, why would I lie to you about this?"

Bai Qi pondered for a moment before saying, "What if you've run out of money, and you're starving but still bought me food, tricking me into eating?"

Fang Ren was taken aback, "Huh? Why would I ever do that?"

"How should I put it... it's just a hunch," Bai Qi said. "I always feel that if one day you're out of money for food, you would still starve yourself to buy me something to eat..."

Fang Ren smiled and said, "Your intuition might be deceiving you."

Bai Qi frowned and still didn't start eating, "But I always feel like you're too nice..."

"I've told you I'm wealthy, why don't you believe me?" Fang Ren said. "At the very least, I'm the young master of the Fang Family. Do I really seem that poor in your eyes?"

"But you've said yourself that you don't like the Fang Family, and you wouldn't accept their money even if they offered it. Plus, you're not working right now, and you're getting so much money each month," Bai Qi said.

Fang Ren felt helpless; he really wanted to reveal his identity as an Alchemy Master to her, but he was also afraid that her family, the Bai Family, would find out and this would lead to some complications.

"Just eat already, where are all these questions coming from?" Fang Ren said brusquely.

After a pause, Bai Qi nodded, tore off a chicken leg, and seriously offered it to Fang Ren's mouth, "You eat first, then I will."

As she spoke, her lips were pursed because the few buns she had scrimped on for breakfast had hardly been filling, and now the aroma of the mouth-watering chicken made her drool and crave it badly.

"What, are you worried I've poisoned it or something?" Fang Ren found her behavior somewhat amusing and at the same time, a bit sad.

Such a meticulous and kind-hearted girl, why would she have a grandfather like Bai Chaojin?

"No, it's just that I feel like you haven't had enough to eat!" Bai Qi said earnestly.

"Alright, alright."

Too lazy to explain further, Fang Ren simply took the chicken leg and started eating.

Seeing how envious she looked, he guessed that if he didn't take the chicken leg and eat it, she would be too craving to sleep, and even the elixir probably wouldn't work.

Seeing Fang Ren take the chicken leg, Bai Qi immediately grabbed another one to eat, mumbling while chewing, "I'll buy your dinner tonight; you're not allowed to waste money anymore."

Fang Ren chuckled, "Do you really want to take care of me like that?"

"Of course! If I don't look after you, you're going to starve," Bai Qi said seriously. "Besides, no matter what, I'm your fiancée in name right now. I can say these things out of concern and set some limits on your bad behavior, and you should listen to me."

"Yes, yes, you're right, absolutely right," Fang Ren nodded vigorously. "Could you finish chewing your food before you talk, Your Highness?"

"I don't care, you have to let me buy your dinner tonight!" Bai Qi said seriously.

"Okay, I'll let you feed me tonight, just hurry up and eat."

"It's settled then, no running away," Bai Qi said earnestly as she ate. After finishing her sentence, she didn't forget to take a sip of the sour plum drink, her cheeks puffing out adorably.

Fang Ren spoke up, "Didn't the other students wake you up before they left?"

"They did, but I didn't want to get up. I'm so sleepy," Bai Qi said. "It's exhausting to work on the first day. I'm wondering how I'm going to survive the coming days."

"It'll be fine. You'll have energy tonight," Fang Ren reassured her.

"Of course, after sleeping all day like this, how could I possibly still be sleepy tonight?" Bai Qi replied.

Before long, a plate of mouthwatering chicken was completely devoured, and Bai Qi lay satisfied on the table again, closing her eyes.

"Don't sleep here. Since you don't have class this afternoon, go back to the dorm and sleep," Fang Ren suggested.

"No, I'm so sleepy, I don't want to move," Bai Qi said, her voice sounding drowsy.

"If you sleep here, you might not be fully rested by tonight, and then if you make a mistake at the barbecue restaurant, you could lose your job," Fang Ren warned.

"But I really don't feel like moving at all. I'm even sleepier after eating," Bai Qi murmured groggily.

Fang Ren felt a bit helpless and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "By the way, did the little guy cause any trouble during class today?"

"Yeah, you should look after your own kid. It's a good thing everyone just thought it was because my realm was unstable, or else it would have been a disaster," Bai Qi said.

Fang Ren felt much more relieved when he heard her take the blame for Qianye's mischief, but at the same time, he began to worry.

If Bai Qi took the blame for Qianye's damage to the floor, that meant she would have to pay for the repairs. With not a penny to her name and already owing him so much money, how could she afford to pay for the damage?

Of course, Fang Ren couldn't let her pay. After all, it was because of him that everything happened. Bai Qi was just taking care of little Qianye.

"Fang Ren..." Bai Qi suddenly murmured drowsily again.

"What is it?" Fang Ren asked.

"Don't be so nice to me. Even if you like me... don't be so good to me..." Bai Qi, lying on the table with her eyes closed, spoke in a faint voice.

"What's wrong?"

"The kindness you've shown me, I can't repay it. If you keep being this nice to me, I will, I will..."

"What will you do, my princess? Can't you finish a sentence in one go? You sound like you're drunk," Fang Ren teased.

Bai Qi's voice suddenly grew louder, "You like me, right?"

"Huh?" Fang Ren was stunned.

If it hadn't been for the fact that he personally fed Bai Qi the elixir, he would have truly thought she was drunk, for her to say such things.

"Why do you think that?" Fang Ren questioned.

"I feel that you like me…" Bai Qi said.

"Is there no other reason?"

"I'm beautiful, and I'm your fiancée. If we continue to spend time together, you're bound to end up liking me..."

"That's..."

Fang Ren slapped himself on the face. What kind of reasoning was that?

Her intuition told her he had no money, her feelings told her he liked her.

They say a woman's sixth sense is both mysterious and accurate, yet this girl's intuition had never been right, veering wildly off course.
