"Are you tired?"

Nie Zheng shook her head, not understanding why.

The next second, Lou Fan grabbed her shoulders, shook her until she was dizzy, and said hypnotically, "No, you are sleepy."

Nie Zheng was a little overwhelmed by the sudden wave of concern. She had already slept for the whole day, but now she was forced to go to bed again.

After taking antipyretics, she felt much better, but she really couldn't sleep.

It's easy to have wild thoughts when you can't sleep. She turned over and looked at Lou Fan who had a serious face, and finally opened the conversation: "My brother asked you to come?"

"Yeah, otherwise how free do you think I am to come to your house in the middle of the night to be a babysitter?"

"He is with Qiao Xing now?"

When Lou Fan heard Qiao Xing's name, he was distracted and felt a little unfamiliar, but he quickly realized that Qiao Xing was Chong Jianzhi's "new girlfriend".

"Yeah, he didn't say much. They were probably having a party at Yamei. Lao Chong is usually annoyed by these things, probably because of that woman. But to be honest, after knowing Lao Chong for so many years, this is the first time I've seen a woman around him. Over the years, the only person of the opposite sex around him... is probably your sister."

"Is it?"

Nie Zheng seemed to be thinking about something. She covered her face with the quilt and forced herself to fall asleep quickly.

The more she wanted to sleep, the more awake she became. Nie Zheng could even feel that the rain outside the window had stopped. Lou Fan sent away the woman who brought the generator and began to snore on the sofa.

The phone rang, waking Lou Fan from his sleep. He reached for the phone in a daze and answered it. The caller was none other than Chong Jianzhi.

"Give the phone to Nie Zheng."

Just after taking the phone and before the camera was pointed at her, Nie Zheng heard Chong Jianzhi's somewhat impatient voice: "Why is your phone turned off?"

"out of battery."

"Is the fever gone?"

Nie Zheng nodded.

"Ah."

Chong Jianzhi didn't say anything else. He was standing in the corridor of Yamei at this moment. He hesitated for a long time about whether to make the call. Emotion overcame reason. At the end of the party, he still dialed the familiar number.

"Jianzhi, my car is waiting outside, let's go."

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Nie Zheng recognized it as Qiao Xing.

Without any explanation, Chong Jianzhi hung up the video call.

"Lao Chong is quite capable." Lou Fan took the phone back, and said with a smile, "Li Xing's daughter, I heard that the young master of the LE family pursued her for half a year but failed to win her over, but she was unexpectedly won over by Lao Chong."

Nie Zheng didn't want to listen to this at all, so she turned around and reached for her phone to charge it.

She didn't know when her cell phone turned off automatically. She didn't answer the call from Chong Jianzhi, nor did she answer the call from Bai Chaochao.

What she didn't know was that after Bai Chaochao learned that she had a fever and couldn't get through to her on the phone, he actually went straight to her house.

The knocking on the door was so loud that it almost disturbed everyone. When Nie Zheng saw Bai Chaochao, she thought she was hallucinating.

What happened tonight? Why were all of them up at her house in the middle of the night?

"You're not such a scary person! After you told me you had a fever, you didn't reply to my messages or answer my calls! I was so worried. How are you now? Are you feeling better?"

"...I'm fine."

Bai Chaochao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Nie Zheng was in good condition.

“Jiaojiao?!”

Lou Fan shouted, and Bai Chaochao was so scared that he staggered and almost fell into the sofa.

"Who are you calling?" Bai Chaochao covered his ears with a look of disgust, "Who are you?"

"Jiaojiao, I've already told you that it's over between us. Sleeping together doesn't mean you have to take responsibility. Why did you come to my friend's house? I know I'm too charming..."

"Are you mentally ill?"

Bai Chaochao looked at Lou Fan in front of him with an expression as if he was a lunatic.

"Jiaojiao——"

"Jiao you uncle!"

Bai Chaochao roared so loudly that his voice actually echoed in the huge living room. Lou Fan just stood there in a daze, not moving a muscle.

Nie Zheng finally realized that Lou Fan treated Bai Chaochao as his former bed partner.

"Um, Lou Fan, did you recognize the wrong person? She is not the Jiaojiao you mentioned. She is my friend, Bai Chaochao."

Lou Fan frowned and looked her up and down, seeming a little shocked and annoyed.

"I'm sorry, I think I really recognized the wrong person. Your face looks very similar to Jiaojiao, but your figure..." Lou Fan shook his head, his eyes wandering back and forth on Bai Chaochao's chest, "The size is not right."

"You're a pervert!"

Bai Chaochao is not someone who is easily messed with. After being "insulted" like this, she was so angry that she couldn't help but slapped him.

After being hit on the neck with great force, Lou Fan's mind went blank for more than ten seconds. He stared blankly at Bai Chaochao, who was looking at him with such an aggressive attitude, and could not help but take a few steps back, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"...Are you okay?" Nie Zheng patted Lou Fan on the shoulder. "Are you crazy?"

"Um……"

"It's getting late, why don't you go first?"

"Um……"

Nie Zheng waved her hand in front of Lou Fan several times: "Don't tell my brother about this, okay?"

"Um……"

Lou Fan stared at Bai Chaochao, taking slow steps backwards. When the door was almost closed, he seemed to finally come to his senses. He adjusted his slightly crooked gold-rimmed glasses and asked, "Your name is Bai Chaochao?"

Bai Chaochao didn't want to pay any attention to Lou Fan and snorted coldly. She didn't notice at all that there was something else in the eyes of this playboy besides the initial horror.

The next day, Nie Zheng, who was returning home from school, bumped into Chong Jianzhi, who had returned early.

Chong Jianzhi was also accompanied by Qiao Xing.

Nie Zheng's expression changed immediately, and she tried not to look at the smiling woman opposite her. She thought of the accidental appearance of Qiao Xing's voice in the video call with Chong Jianzhi last night. That voice was like a needle, piercing her extremely sensitive flesh.

Chong Jianzhi, who had been silent until they sat down in the living room, finally felt that something was wrong with Nie Zheng. He walked up to Nie Zheng, put his palm on her forehead, and finally felt relieved after a few seconds.

"No more burning."

The two were too close, and Nie Zheng smelled the familiar scent of Qiao Xing's women's perfume. She silently took two steps back, her calves already against the edge of the sofa.

"Where is Aunt Wang?" Chong Jianzhi saw that she didn't say anything, so he brought up a new topic.

"She went downstairs to buy some medicine. She has had a headache lately."

Chong Jianzhi just wanted to talk to Nie Zheng, and the topic ended here. Wang Ma just came back with a bag of peeled bullfrogs in her hand.

"Xiao Zheng, there's bullfrogs for sale downstairs. I bought two kilograms and will make you a dry pot later—"

Before Wang Ma finished her words, Qiao Xing screamed. She hid behind Chong Jianzhi, looked at the plastic bag in Wang Ma's hand with horror, and yelled at her to take it away quickly.

"This is delicious. Miss Qiao is afraid?"

Aunt Wang's attitude towards Qiao Xing was not very friendly. Seeing that Qiao Xing was afraid of bullfrogs, she took the bag and took two steps forward.

"Take it away! Don't you understand me?"

Qiao Xing said in a bad tone: "I have hated this kind of thing since I was a child. It's disgusting. Take it away quickly!"

As she spoke, she stepped back, and Chong gradually realized that his originally ironed suit had been wrinkled by her.

"Master, Xiao Zheng just recovered from her illness and has no appetite. I want to make her something she likes."

Mother Wang kept staring at Chong Jianzhi, hoping that he would say something for Nie Zheng. After all, here, Chong Jianzhi and Nie Zheng were a family.
