He sat blankly before the computer, feeling something was off and unable to continue drawing. Finally, he decided to shut it down.
Then he took a notebook and wrote several pages, filled with the chattering woman’s nonsense, noting “noisy” at the end.
Looking at the densely packed words, his mood felt much better after venting. Closing the notebook, a faint fragrance wafted, bringing an indescribable feeling.
After interacting with her, feelings he’d never experienced before emerged, causing him confusion. However, being naturally inept at emotional matters, he couldn’t clarify things even if he pondered for a long time.
Wind Shao Hao put away his notebook, walked to the bar, and poured a glass of plum vinegar. The vinegar, aged for years, had a mellow fragrance and could be directly consumed, a very healthy drink.
Suddenly, a doorbell rang, disrupting the quiet. He didn’t want to answer, pressing the do not disturb button to stop the ring. But the visitor persistently knocked on the door, so he had to go and open it.
“Hi!” As the door opened, Lin Qian Zhu’s heart was uneasy.
Oh! His sleepwear made him look more sensitive, though the conservative, neat style prevented her from seeing his muscular physique.
Feng Shaohao’s expression revealed displeasure, pointing to the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door, also reminding her that she shouldn’t be in a man’s room late at night.
She laughed awkwardly, “Don’t send me away just yet…”
Seeing her pitiful look, he changed his mind and reached out to take her handbag and backpack, “Come in!”
She was surprised he agreed so quickly, laughing happily, “Thank you, you’re such a good person.”
”Sit on the sofa, head slightly forward, gently pinching the soft part of the nose.”
”What are you doing?” Lin Qianzhu looked at him puzzled. Oh no! She hoped he wasn’t planning to mess with her just to let her in.
Feng Shaohao took a tissue and handed it to her, “Want to continue nosebleeding?”
”Ah! I just wiped it clean.” No wonder she had been feeling moisture in her nose.
”Pinch your nose, or do you want to stuff it with tissue?”
”I’ll pinch.” Stuffing tissue would look ridiculous; she didn’t want to look silly in front of him.
He walked to the refrigerator and busied himself for a while, then handed her a plastic bag with ice, “Ice compress.”
”Thank you! How long should I do this?” She placed the ice on her nose. Oh! This looks so funny, totally embarrassing!
”Fifteen to twenty minutes, don’t talk.”
”Okay.” While applying ice, she secretly thought she shouldn’t have watched passionate scenes, and definitely shouldn’t have fantasized about the man in front of her. How embarrassing!

Chapter 5 ”You should go now.”
Lin Qianzhu had just been relieved her nosebleed had stopped when he threw cold water on her, shoving her luggage into her hands, “I need your help, let’s discuss it!”
Feng Shaohao looked at her, “Help with what?”
”I was shopping in Ginza at night…”
After listening to five minutes of rambling, he couldn’t help interrupting, “Get to the point.”
”Oh! All my money, credit cards, ATM cards, and phone were stolen. Now I’m stuck with nowhere to eat or stay. Please lend me money to get out of this, I promise to pay you back double.” She secretly prayed he would help.
”Report to the police and contact your family.” He offered the best solution.
Lin Qianzhu quickly shook her head, “No, if Dad finds out, I’ll lose the freedom I’ve worked so hard to get.”
”You ran away from home?” Feng Shaohao’s tone suddenly turned cold.
”No, I’m just trying to get away from the person traveling with me.”
”Childish. Think about your worried family.” He handed her his phone.
”Dad doesn’t know yet, um…” Seeing his fierce eyes, she lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. Thinking about it, she felt wronged and couldn’t help complaining, “Dad insisted on sending a man to accompany me. If I didn’t escape, my marriage might have been arranged.”
His heart suddenly raced, and he asked with concern, “Why?”
She gazed into his clear eyes, believing he was an upright gentleman, and thus explained everything in detail, including her identity as a wealthy young lady.
”Helping others is my pleasure. Right now, only you can help me. Please!” Lin Qianzhu begged while observing his reaction.
Even after hearing a huge piece of gossip, he remained unchanged, only pointing to the room’s phone, “Directly dial the internal line to your sister.”
His attitude hadn’t changed because of her family background, which made her secretly happy, “No way! She’s… very busy right now.”
”You should know I have no obligation to help you.” Knowing she wasn’t in a desperate situation, he withdrew his sympathy.
Oh no! The situation isn’t looking good. Lin Qianzhu was afraid of being kicked out, “Then you can temporarily shelter me. I’ll definitely find a way to contact my sister.”
”A single man and woman living together is inappropriate.” After saying this, he suddenly realized keeping her too long was unwise and moved to open the door to see her out.
She quickly grabbed his arm, “It’s okay. I don’t mind if others misunderstand.”
”I mind.”
Ah! She forgot he was very proper, “Actually, before coming to you, I went to my sister, but then…” she sighed softly.
He waited but didn’t hear the rest, asking curiously, “Hmm?”
Remembering the passionate scene, Lin Qianzhu’s face turned completely red, mumbling and glossing over the key point, “…and then I got a nosebleed.”
Feng Shaohao couldn’t hear clearly and guessed, “She refused to help and hit you until you got a nosebleed?”
”No, it’s because… oh!” She couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Seeing her hesitate, he misunderstood that she had been wronged, “I’ll go find her now.”
Sorry, little sister! She swallowed hard and blurted out, “I got a nosebleed because I accidentally saw them being intimate. Do you understand now!”
”It’s been half an hour since you came in, the kissing would have long been over…” Seeing her unusually red cheeks, he finally understood the level of intimacy she meant.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward, and neither spoke.
Later, he helped her cancel her credit cards and tried to book a hotel room, but found all rooms were full. He didn’t give up and checked nearby hotels, but got the same result.
”It’s past 1 AM. Could you please let me sleep in the living room?” She had already taken the opportunity to wash up and change while he was busy.
Feng Shaohao thought for a moment, hung up the phone, “Then you must promise not to disturb me and find your sister to resolve this quickly.”
”Yes, I will. Thank you so much.”
Feng Shaohao turned back to see her already changed into short, revealing shorts and a T-shirt, her wavy hair slightly damp. Her delicate appearance made his emotions tense, and he began to regret agreeing so quickly.
Lin Qianzhu automatically picked up the drink on the table and sipped, “Ah! It smells sour and sweet, smooth going down. What drink is this? It’s so delicious!
Plum Vinegar.” He stiffened his serious expression uncomfortably, walking to the bar to tidy up.
“Where did you buy this? Oh! Taste of Taiwan.” She curiously followed him, seeing the label on the bottle, surprised that he would carry vinegar while traveling.
He carefully stored the vinegar, took out a blanket from the room and handed it to her, “Rest quietly.” Then turned and went to the bedroom to prepare for bed.
Seeing him close the door, she had a sweet smile on her face. Ah! She found a treasure – a man like him who is neither greedy for money nor lust was quite rare.
