Hua Yan, still anxious, pulled up Xu Yi’s sleeve, revealing more red marks on his delicate arms and checking beneath his collar, which was also marked. “Young Master, did Miss Jin really take you last night?”

Xu Yi blushed and quickly pulled down his sleeve. “Hua Yan, don’t worry, and don’t look anymore. She didn’t do anything to me.”

Hua Yan looked at his body and continued to doubt, “Miss Jin really didn’t do anything to you?”

“No, she just kissed me for a while and then went to sleep. Don’t ask anymore,” Xu Yi responded, embarrassed.

When Jin Yu arrived at Su Xi’s side, Su Xi and Xiao Lian were already up. Jin Yu saw Su Xi looking haggard and supported him, displeased with Xiao Lian, “What did you do last night?”

Xiao Lian’s initially happy demeanor faded, looking aggrieved, “I didn’t do anything.” She didn’t understand why Jin Yu was angry; he simply slept with his brother for a night.

“Xiao Lian slept very well last night,” Su Xi tugged at Jin Yu’s clothes, “I’m fine.”

Jin Yu’s gaze softened as he looked at the docile Su Xi, “Let’s go eat.”

As they walked out, Jin Yu supported Su Xi, with Xiao Lian following behind, feeling teary-eyed.

During the meal, Jin Yu continued to serve Xu Yi food, making her face turn red with embarrassment over the intimacy in front of others.

Jin Yu noticed Xu Yi’s shyness but questioned his change since yesterday, “Xu Yi, are you full?”

“Full, full…” Xu Yi nodded repeatedly but then realized the potential double meaning and felt even more embarrassed.

“Eat a bit more, so you don’t get hungry on the road.”

“You… stop talking…” Xu Yi was aware that others were watching and couldn’t believe Jin Yu might want to ‘feed’ him in public. Though he wanted to be with her, they weren’t quite there yet.

Jin Yu looked puzzled at Xu Yi’s behavior, finding it strange he was so embarrassed. Noticing the other eyes watching them, she felt awkward.
