"Brother, I'm thirsty." After finishing the question, Shi Rong ate some snacks and felt his mouth was a little dry. He tugged on Xie Shuchen's sleeve, "I want to drink malted milk."

Xie Shuchen rubbed Shi Rong's hair. After using his brain for such a long time, it was time to drink something to replenish his energy. "I'll make a bowl for Rong Rong."

Shi Rong felt that he had suffered a lot today and really needed to reward himself, "Okay, I'll add five spoonfuls of malted milk! Not a spoonful less."

Xie Shuchen laughed and added five spoonfuls of malted milk as instructed. But when he picked up the kettle, he found that the kettle was empty and the water in it had been drunk.

There is no need for Xie Shuchen to do tasks like boiling water. He handed over a lot of food, so Huzi usually boils water for him and puts his own kettle in front of his door so that he can pour water easily.

Xie Shuchen said something to Shi Rong, opened the door and took in the kettle placed at his door.

After making a bowl of malted milk, Xie Shuchen poured the remaining water into his own jug and put the jug back at the door.

When doing this, Xie Shuchen didn't realize anything was wrong. People nowadays are simple-minded. After all, who would have thought that someone would put something in someone else's kettle?

At this moment, two siblings, Gu Mingxue and Gu Mingyuan, were secretly hiding behind the door, spying on Xie Shuchen's every move.

"Brother, is there really no problem in doing this?" Gu Mingxue felt particularly ashamed when she thought about being caught in that scene. "What if someone comes back suddenly?"

"It's not a good time for someone to come back." Gu Mingyuan smiled calmly, "When the time comes, in full view of everyone, Xie Shuchen doesn't want to take responsibility, and there's nothing he can do about it."

At this moment, Gu Mingyuan seemed to have seen that the glorious and brilliant future was waving to him...

"No, no." Gu Mingxue was thin-skinned. She knew that if something like this happened, she would not be able to behave in the village. "Brother, how about another day..."

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Mingyuan's eyes became more sinister, as if he realized that his attitude was too harsh, and he quickly made up for it, "The village is busy harvesting wheat today, and even the tiger pods are gone, who else would Come back suddenly?"

Gu Mingxue was still a little hesitant. Although she liked Xie Shuchen before, this love has been wiped out for so long because of Xie Shuchen's cold rejection.

After such a big event happened, even if she and Xie Shuchen could get married, would there be any good days in the future? No matter how much I think about it, I feel like it is not beneficial to me...

"Mingxue." Gu Mingyuan became more and more impatient. Why hadn't he noticed before that this sister was so confused?

"People like Xie Shuchen are very face-saving. If you succeed, you can use this to threaten him. As long as he doesn't want to squat on the fence, he has to agree to our request."

"In the future, when I get promoted and have my support, are you still afraid that life in the Xie family will be difficult? If you are lucky and get pregnant this time, what are you still afraid of?"

"If you have a child, that will be your talisman in the future. Even if Xie Shuchen doesn't like you, for the sake of his child, he still has to give you a bit of love, right?"

Xie Mingxue's expression wavered for a moment.

Gu Mingyuan looked at the situation and continued: "The Xie family has a great business, and Xie Shuchen himself is extremely capable. He is not much better than the villagers in the village? If you miss him, who else can you find?"

"You know, many aunts in the village think you are too spoiled. If you marry into their family, will you have a good life in the future? Your mother and I raised you so well just to marry a villager and do farm work. ?"

These words completely touched Gu Mingxue. She gritted her teeth and said cruelly, "I'll go!"

……

"It's so hot."

After drinking malted milk, Shi Rong always felt like something was wrong with her body. The consciousness in his mind gradually became chaotic. He took off his clothes in confusion, trying to put a cold object against him, "It feels so uncomfortable..."

Xie Shuchen frowned slightly, grasped the hand that was shaking everywhere, and reached out to touch his forehead. It was surprisingly hot, "What's wrong with you, Rong Rong?"

Although the weather is getting colder, I won't suddenly develop such a high fever. What's more, your appearance was normal just now, why did you suddenly become confused?

Hearing Xie Shuchen's voice, Shi Rong tried his best to open his eyes and make sure, but his eyes were still a little blank, and he couldn't help but press against Xie Shuchen, "Brother... I'm so hot..."

The young man's eyes were filled with mist, his cheeks and the sides of his neck were a light pink, and a whimper escaped from his lips. In this state, he was obviously not sick.

"Rong Rong, please wake up." Xie Shuchen accidentally glanced at the clean bowl in front of Shi Rong, and combined with what Wang Yindi told him, the answer suddenly came to his mind.

It should be Chinese medicine. The medicine must have been poured into the kettle outside his door by Gu Mingyuan or Gu Mingxue, but he didn't care and actually drank it by Shi Rong by mistake!

Xie Shuchen's eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a faint murderous aura. He wanted to help Shi Rong go to see Shi Wenxiu, but suddenly he heard several knocks on the door.

What followed was Gu Mingxue's gentle voice: "Xie Zhiqing, can you come out and talk to me?"

The chill in Xie Shuchen's eyes was even worse, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He helped Shi Rong to the bed, strode to the door, and opened the door.

"You are really bold." Seeing the inevitable look in Gu Mingxue's eyes turning into disbelief, Xie Shuchen sneered, "Get out."

Gu Mingxue didn't expect that Xie Shuchen took the kettle but didn't drink any water. She waited for a while, wasn't it just to let the effect of the medicine evaporate?

But at this moment, Xie Shuchen seemed to be conscious and clear, without any abnormalities: "You, you..."

"A while ago, you never came to see me again." Xie Shuchen's mind was racing at this moment, "But after your brother came back from leave, you became attentive to me again."

"Now that you have used such a method again, you just want to get a hold of me and use it to threaten me. Your purpose should be to get your brother promoted."

Gu Mingxue has never seen such a terrifying Xie Shuchen. After all, he has always been gentle to people. Even if he rejected her before, he never said anything harsh.

But now...why does it seem like he has changed?

Gu Mingxue was panicked and scared, her heart was beating rapidly and her brain was buzzing. But she still has some sense and knows not to admit, "No... I just want to talk to you..."

"Get out." Xie Shuchen heard the soft whimpering behind him and didn't want to say anything more to Gu Mingxue. "If you stay for one more second, your brother's position will be lost."

"You should know my background very well, right?"
