    This sleep was sweeter than ever before.

    After Qiao Qiao woke up, her side was already empty, but the quilt was still a little warm to the touch. She buried her head in the pillow where Song Qiyan had slept, and while smelling the faint fragrance remaining on it, she lamented that she was really a pervert.

    She looked at her watch and saw that it was actually nine o’clock in the morning. If she excluded the few dozen minutes she was awake, it would be equivalent to sleeping for more than ten hours, which meant that her body was indeed extremely tired.

    After getting dressed and going downstairs, my limbs were still limp. Fortunately, the soreness was relieved a lot, but it was estimated that I would have to rest for at least two or three days before I could return to normal.

    There was no one downstairs, Song Qiyan and Zhou Yuanchuan were not there, and Liang Jize was missing. Only the housekeeper’s maid was doing daily cleaning. Qiao Qiao asked where they were, and the maid said that Mr. Song was the only one at home today, and that he had just gone out ten minutes ago, maybe in the garden.

    When Qiao Qiao heard this, she wanted to go to the garden to find him, but the maid said that Mr. Song had told her in advance that if Miss Qiao woke up, she would be reminded to eat first and not do anything else until she had eaten.

    Qiao Qiao was a little helpless. She had eaten a lot last night and was not hungry at all now. But since it was Song Qiyan who told her, it would be better for her to do as she was told.

    The maid brought a sumptuous breakfast, and Qiao Qiao took a few bites perfunctorily before throwing down his chopsticks, putting on his coat and going out.

    Since she moved into this villa, she has spent most of her time in her bedroom. She has no time and no mood to wander around, so this is the first time she walks in the garden like this.

    The garden here is vast, with one on the front, one on the left, and one on the left. It is dominated by the large central garden in front of the villa, and is surrounded by elm, oak and beech trees. The trees are so lush that they almost blend in with the naturally growing plants on the mountain. It makes the entire manor seem to be held in the palm of your hand by a piece of green.

    But Qiao Qiao likes this kind of forest-like arrangement. Although the combination of fountains and short shrubs is beautiful, it is inevitably the same. It is very good to only leave some artificial carvings in the central garden, while retaining the natural flavor in other places.

    She walked around the central garden, picked two hydrangea flowers, and then walked along the path to the west garden with a slightly higher slope. After walking for about five or six minutes, she saw Song Qiyan.

    He was wearing sportswear and was sitting on a stone bench in the garden with his eyes closed and meditation, with sports headphones plugged into his ears. It seemed that he had just finished a run.

    Qiao Qiao walked over, her steps were very gentle, but the man quickly noticed something strange and opened his eyes.

    “Hi…”

    Qiao Qiao said hello awkwardly, while Song Qiyan raised his hand and took off his earphones.

    “How is your health?”

    “Much better. Although I look weak, my physique is quite good.” Qiao Qiao patted his biceps. “Look, I hardly catch a cold.”

    Song Qiyan: “Well, have you eaten?”

    “I ate, but not much… I feel like I haven’t digested what I ate last night.” Her voice trailed off.

    “It’s okay, just forget it if you can’t eat.”

    Song Qiyan’s expression was always calm. After the two of them exchanged these greetings, they fell into a situation where they had nothing to say. Qiao Qiao was a little afraid of him now and didn’t dare to do whatever he wanted like before, so he was a little more fearful and polite when getting along with him.

    After another moment of silence, Qiao Qiao asked bravely: “Where is Mr. Zhou? He went to the hospital yesterday due to allergies. He should be fine now, right?”

    “Well, he is being kept in the hospital for observation just to be on the safe side.”

    Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: “That’s good…”

    Song Qiyan glanced at her: “Are you worried about him?”

    Qiao Qiao didn’t know what he meant, so he said cautiously: “I…shouldn’t I be worried?”

    “No.” Song Qiyan smiled, “But the initiator usually doesn’t do this.”

    Qiao Qiao was dumbfounded.

    She didn’t expect to be exposed so soon. She blushed for a while before asking, “How did you know?”

    “It’s not hard to guess.”

    “Mr. Zhou, does he also know?”

    Song Qiyan: “He called me right after he entered the hospital. Your methods are not very clever.”

    “I even asked the boss to close the stall and go home, just because I was afraid that Mr. Zhou would find out there was something wrong with the pastries…” She met Song Qiyan’s gaze and suddenly realized, “Isn’t it too ‘no three hundred taels of silver here’?”

    “Yes.”

    “Oh, as expected…” Qiao Qiao looked downcast, “You shouldn’t have made small moves against Mr. Zhou.”

    After saying that, she was horrified. If Song Qiyan already knew that she had deliberately planned the allergic incident, wouldn’t she be surprised why she wanted to spare Zhou Yuanchuan?And how much did Liang Jize say?Does Song Qiyan know what she and Liang Jize did that afternoon?

    She carefully observed Song Qiyan’s expression and recalled his attitude after waking up yesterday. She felt that Song Qiyan probably didn’t know that she went to see Qin Ruicheng, otherwise he wouldn’t be so gentle.

    Wait… Could it be that Liang Jize took all the responsibility?

    Could it be that the reason he gave Song Qiyan was to send Zhou Yuanchuan away to have sex with her?

    Qiao Qiao suddenly felt a little sorry for Liang Jize, but now she couldn’t directly ask Liang Jize where he had gone to ‘reflect’, so she could only light a candle for him silently in her heart.

    I will never forget this kindness, and I will repay you well when you come back!

    She sat with Song Qiyan for a while, and when they were almost rested, they returned to the villa together.

    Song Qiyan sweated a little while running, so he went upstairs to take a shower. Qiao Qiao thought that she would have nothing to do today, so he returned to the bedroom and turned on the computer to search for information.

    She has been reading various books recently, trying to find a way to save Qin Ruicheng.

    She knew that this was similar to Yuanmu asking for fish, but she really had no other option. She couldn’t ask Zhou Yuanchuan, could she?There were no friends around her to consult. With her own resourcefulness, it would be useless to meditate for a hundred years. After ruling out this, it seemed that the only way to go was to read a book.

    Zhou Yuanchuan might really have a way, but he definitely wouldn’t tell him, and Qiao Qiao didn’t even dare to ask.

    And she didn’t have much time. Liang Jize broke the rules, and Song Qiyan would definitely take back Qin Ruicheng’s supervisory power. Without Liang Jize’s help, she would never see Qin Ruicheng again.

    If Qin Ruicheng’s safety cannot be confirmed, the longer he waits, the more dangerous he will be.

    Song Qiyan may carefully plan an accident. Although Qiao Qiao doesn’t think he will do this while holding Qin Ruicheng’s supervisory power, who knows what will happen in the future?She didn’t dare to gamble.

    The computer screen is filled with dense information. Qiao Qiao has not worked so hard since leaving school. She also tried to ask netizens for help, but most of the suggestions were too simple, and even she felt that they were worthless to implement.

    It would be nice if there was someone smarter who had no conflict of interest with Qin Ruicheng.

    Hey – maybe Jian Baiyou can?

    Qiao Qiao suddenly became frustrated. If he wanted to talk to Jian Baiyou, it would be as good as going to heaven. Although he knew where he was, Paradise Island was not a place that he could just go to if he wanted to!

    She has no personal freedom at all now. She can move freely on the surface, but if she wants to go out, she must be accompanied by someone. Song Qiyan sees her very closely and even moves all her work to her home, not giving her any chance.

    Qiao Qiao was worried when suddenly there were two knocks at the door.

    She thought it was a servant and casually said “Come in”, but the person who came was Song Qiyan, who had already finished bathing and was only wearing a bathrobe.

    He had just finished taking a shower, and there were still a few unwiped drops of water on his neck. The skin exposed from his collar was steamed by the heat and turned into a faint layer of pink, which seemed to tempt people to tear open his yukata and take a peek.

    Qiao Qiao suddenly felt a little dry.

    “Why are you here…” Qiao Qiao quickly closed the screen window and closed the laptop, and asked guiltily, “Is something wrong?”

    Song Qiyan said nothing. He looked at the furnishings in the house that had been rearranged by Qiao Qiao and asked, “Are you still getting used to living there?”

    “I’m quite used to it.” Qiao Qiao scratched his head, “I’m not picky, I can probably sleep even in a pigsty – oh, I didn’t mean this is a pigsty…”

    “Want to check out my room?”

    Qiao Qiao blinked, a little confused about the situation.

    But she still nodded: “Okay.”

    So she followed Song Qiyan to his room in confusion. Song Qiyan’s room was also very large, even bigger than hers. In addition to the settings for daily life, there was also an independent study room where she could handle some simple work.

    Qiao Qiao keenly discovered that she had seen some of the furnishings in the room before. They were moved from Song Qiyan’s other houses. It was these things that gave this room a sense of familiarity.

    But… what does Song Qiyan mean by asking her to visit the room?Did he want to redecorate it?

    Song Qiyan: “Which one do you like?”

    “Eh? What do you mean…”

    Song Qiyan: “Which one do you prefer, my room or your room?”

    “…It’s yours.” She thought for a while, “My room is a mess and I haven’t done much to clean it up.”

    “Okay, then it’s over here.” After Song Qiyan finished speaking, he untied his bathrobe and made a show of taking it off.

    Qiao Qiao’s pupils were shaken on the spot.

    “Hey, what are you doing?” She was so frightened that she took two steps back and sat down on the bed.

    Song Qiyan’s expression was still calm, as if he was just performing a necessary ritual: “Liang Jize broke the rules. To be fair, Zhou Yuanchuan and I will do it with you once.”

    Qiao Qiao: “Huh???”
