Yi Garden
After seeing off Jiang Jinsang’s family, Jiang Chengsi stood at the door for a long ti. The cold wind blew everything away, and the strength of the strong liquor ca surging, leaving his whole body hot and restless. At this mont, his mind was still a bit dizzy, repeatedly recalling all that had happened today, as if in a dream.
After finishing the call with Si Qingxiao, Jiang Shiyi’s call ca as well.
The brother left on Valentine’s Day without a word, and now he suddenly rembers he has a brother?
Could it be that Jiang Xiaowu has already told the family about his affair with Si Qingxiao?
He pinched his brow, pressed the answer button, and called out, "Brother."
"Lantern Festival, aren’t you having dinner at grandma’s place? All by yourself?" Jiang Shiyi didn’t know about his affair with Si Qingxiao, he called the old house and found out he didn’t celebrate there, that’s all.
"I have plans with soone." He spoke, his voice hoarse.
"Been drinking?"
"Yeah, had a little."
"I’ll co back in a couple of days."
Jiang Chengsi responded, two grown n, there’s not much to say. Every ti they talk, it never exceeds half a minute, and this ti was no different. Just as Jiang Shiyi was about to hang up, soone stopped him:
"Brother, I want to ask you sothing."
"Go ahead."
"What do you think about being a live-in son-in-law? If I were to join soone else’s family, what would you think?"
The words Jiang Shiyi said almost made him vomit blood in anger:
"What kind of unlucky family would look at you?"
"..." Jiang Chengsi, having drunk, already had a dry and hoarse throat, he was so angry he couldn’t even utter a word, "You’re my brother, it’s bad enough being bullied by Jiang Xiaowu, but you think I’m foolish and silly too?"
Jiang Shiyi pondered for a while and gave him a conclusion:
"It’s not that I think... you’re foolish and silly, it’s a fact!"
Jiang Chengsi hung up the phone in anger, thought about the distance between the Si Family and his family, turned and went back inside, planning to take a shower. He drank quite a bit at the Si Family, and the sll of alcohol was all over him. Just now, after "questioning" Jiang Jinsang, he was so enraged that he was sweating, feeling uncomfortable all over.
So not long after Si Qingxiao left ho, she received a ssage from Jiang Chengsi:
[The key is in the milk box at the door. If you knock and no one answers, use the key to get in yourself.]
Get in by herself?
Si Qingxiao pressed her lips tightly, given Jiang Chengsi’s attitude today, she couldn’t help but overthink. Not coming out to greet her was one thing, but now actually telling her to let herself in?
A few days ago, he was clamoring to send her ho, and now when she "delivers herself" to his door, he tells her to let herself in.
The treatnt was as different as night and day.
She changed her clothes at ho, applied so delicate light makeup, and even specially brewed so sobering, health-preserving soup, put it in a thermos, and drove over there.

Si Qingxiao was originally a resident of Yi Garden, the security didn’t stop her and let her pass smoothly. When she reached the villa door and pressed the doorbell, sure enough, no one answered. When she used the key to open the door and went inside, the house was empty, only the humidifier in the living room was humming, emitting wisps of white smoke.
"Fourth Master?" She placed the thermos on the table and called out softly twice, but there was no response.
Where was he?
Could he not be ho?
She tried calling Jiang Chengsi, the ringing ca from the second floor, following the sound she made her way up, arriving at his bedroom door.
Could he have drunk too much?
He looked quite clear-headed when he left her house, but the alcohol’s aftereffect was strong. Her father was at ho, sleeping heavily, making her worry if Jiang Chengsi might have drunk too much and had problems.
She tentatively knocked on the door, but there was no movent. But she was sure the phone was inside.
Hesitating, she still reached out and turned the doorknob.
It was an inward-opening door, and she pushed it carefully. As she pushed it slightly, her fingers tightly grasped the doorknob, cautious and anxious...
Without warning, soone inside was also opening the door, much stronger than her. The door was suddenly pulled open, and her fingers were still gripping the doorknob tightly...
Unprepared, she lost her balance, falling inside, and crashed headlong into the arms of the person in front of her.
Jiang Chengsi was in the middle of showering, heard the phone ringing, guessed it was her, quickly wrapped a bathrobe around himself, and intended to go downstairs. He didn’t expect that when he opened the door, soone would throw themselves into his arms—
He instinctively reached out, grabbed onto her body that was sliding down, and caught her in his embrace.
Si Qingxiao was now completely dazed, falling headfirst into his arms, and that was one thing, but he was only wearing a white bathrobe down to his knees, the belt tied around his lean waist, exposing a small patch of his chest muscle, where her face was now just pressed against that bare patch of skin.
