Chapter 164: I’ll Sleep Wherever You Sleep

Chi Shuyan was stunned. Seeing how firm the man was, she had to concede and let him do his own thing.

When the two were seated at the dining table, the man took an extra bowl and first ladled a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her. His movements were smooth and elegant, while she was the one acting like a guest.

Chi Shuyan shook her head and didn’t think much of it. She smelled the fragrance of the rice and couldn’t help but eat the porridge.

This was Qi Zhenbai’s first time eating spirit rice porridge. With just one sip, he could tell that the taste was indeed extraordinarily different from ordinary rice porridge. Not to mention the individual and crystal clear rice grains in the porridge, the pure fragrance of the rice lingered in his mouth for a long time without dispersing. The warm and delicious taste alone was enough to confirm that this wasn’t an ordinary dish.

The appearance and taste of this spirit rice porridge was very different from the usual plain porridge. Although there were no side dishes, it made people want a few more bowls and feel inexplicably comfortable after eating it.

Qi Zhenbai was someone who had seen all of the world. After taking one sip, he didn’t stop. Chi Shuyan wasn’t hungry. In the end, she watched the man, who said he wasn’t hungry, scrape clean the bottom of her family’s pot.

Qi Zhenbai seemed to sense the woman’s gaze on him, and a rare hint of embarrassment flashed across his frosty face. Then, he collected himself and sat as upright and calm as usual before he said, “This porridge does taste good! But just have it yourself in the future. Since you’ve already given that rascal Zhu Bocheng some, that’s fine. Forget about everyone else.”

At the thought that this kind of spirit rice could bring people back from the dead and directly cure stomach cancer, Qi Zhenbai didn’t dare to think how many people would have designs on this woman once the news of this spirit rice was leaked.

Thinking this, ruthlessness flashed in Qi Zhenbai’s eyes and he made up his mind.

Chi Shuyan suddenly remembered what the man in front of her had said about Zhu Bocheng’s grandma being cured, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Has Brother Zhu’s grandma really recovered?”

Qi Zhenbai nodded. “That kid wouldn’t fool me with this kind of thing! Right, he asked you to send him another bag of rice. It’s up to you whether to send it or not this time! But don’t send it to anyone else in the future, in case there are complications! To better confirm the truth, however, let’s go back to the capital tomorrow and meet with that kid to see his grandma!”

How could Qi Zhenbai not know how precious this spirit rice was? It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it could bring someone back from the dead. One could imagine the magical effect of this spirit rice.

If Zhu Bocheng had covered up for Qi Zhenbai’s woman when he first found out about the spirit rice, Qi Zhenbai wouldn’t have said anything.

To everyone else, this spirit rice was very precious and rare. For Chi Shuyan, however, it was just a matter of spending some time. Chi Shuyan nodded absent-mindedly, but her mind was once again on that Mystic Yin Arts book. With someone else in the house, however, it wasn’t convenient for her to take it out for a look. She nodded at whatever this man said. Now that she knew about the effects of this spirit rice, she didn’t plan to draw attention to herself.

But she would send some to her father tomorrow and the day after.

The two traded words, most of which was the man warning her to be careful, and Chi Shuyan taking his words to heart. The atmosphere between the two was good at first, but when they finished the porridge and washed the pot, then returned to the living room, Chi Shuyan saw that the man in front of her obviously had no intention of going back.

Chi Shuyan’s eyes suddenly fell on the one big bed in her room and her face changed dramatically.

Wait, this man wasn’t really planning on staying the night, was he?!

Should she regret now agreeing to this man’s relationship too easily? What if this man suddenly asked to sleep in the same bed?

Chi Shuyan really wished that the man in front of her would leave on his own, but it was too wicked to drive him away in the middle of the night. She could let the man sleep in the living room, but it was obvious at a glance that with his temperament, he wasn’t someone who would sleep in the living room.

But, how could she give up the big bed in the bedroom to him?

Chi Shuyan’s face stiffened and she asked through gritted teeth, “Where do you want to sleep?”

It was the man’s first time here, and he had come in the middle of the night; so, the guest should be more polite. If he offered to sleep in the living room, she would be polite and take him straight to a hotel to sleep. If that didn’t work, she would let him sleep in the living room and wouldn’t say much.

She had it all planned out, but to her surprise, the man in front of her didn’t have this self-awareness. He said very naturally and matter-of-factly, “I’ll sleep wherever you sleep.”

Chi Shuyan: …
