Fortunately, Ye Tian was quite well-behaved, helping with the dishes and cleaning after meals.
Although Song Xi found it a bit strange, a sense of relief inexplicably surged in her heart, like she was taking care of her younger brother.
Ye Tian and Yang Yang were close in age, and both were patients, their tempers somewhat similar in certain aspects.
So gradually, Song Xi truly began to treat Ye Tian as her own younger brother.
She had no upcoming engagements recently, waiting for news about "Da Gong Ren."
Every morning, she slept until she naturally woke up. Lou Yu Ming had been busy with something lately. Apart from making sure Yao Yi Fan delivered the Chinese medicine on time, he hadn't shown his face at other times.
According to Yao Yi Fan, he seemed to be discussing some collaboration.
Song Xi was uninterested. She silently prayed that Ye Tian wouldn't make any noise in the bathroom, otherwise, with Yao Yi Fan's sharp senses, he would surely detect something.
Yao Yi Fan noticed Song Xi's nervousness and didn't press further or expose her. He only glanced towards the bathroom as he closed the door.
That glance sent a shiver down Song Xi's spine.
Fortunately, Yao Yi Fan seemed to have discovered nothing. For the next two days, Song Xi's life was peaceful and quiet. The Chinese medicine he delivered remained in the kitchen, untouched.
Every time Ye Tian came in, he would see it. Finally, on the last day, he curiously asked, "Sister Song Xi, aren't you taking that Chinese medicine?"
Song Xi leaned lazily on the sofa and retorted, "Do you like taking medicine?"
"Of course not!" Ye Tian said with some concern, "What's wrong with your health that you need to take Chinese medicine?"
Song Xi sneered. She didn't know if she was feeling unwell, but the smell of the medicine made her want to vomit.
Since Lou Yu Ming wasn't around, and no one was supervising, why should she be so obedient?
The most crucial point was that he hadn't transferred any money.
Song Xi was someone who was swayed by money. If there was money, things were negotiable. If there was no money, get lost!
Today was the broadcast of the fifth episode of "Everyone Loves Talk Show," which was the one Song Xi had participated in.
But strangely, until today, the official Weibo account hadn't posted any promotional material for her.
Song Xi found it very odd. She sent a WeChat message to ask Dai Ze, but Dai Ze hadn't replied yet.
After dinner, Ye Tian was planning to go back to rest. But as soon as he browsed Weibo, he discovered that Song Xi was trending. That's when he learned Song Xi had participated in a talk show!
Seeing him still standing there, Song Xi asked, "Why aren't you going back yet?"
Ye Tian immediately sat down, "Sister, I want to watch the talk show with you."
"How did you know?"
"Trending topics," Ye Tian handed her his phone, "Sister, you're trending."
Song Xi looked closely and indeed, she was. She scrolled down, and the plaza was abuzz with discussions.
"No way, the official account hasn't posted any promotion!"
"Hahaha, why does everyone want to get involved in talk shows? Do they even understand it?"
"Don't know if they understand, we'll know when the show airs."
"Ah, I'm quite looking forward to it. Song Xi looks like she'd be a good fit for the show."
"Fans are already coming to defend her so quickly?"
Song Xi and Ye Tian exchanged glances.
It seemed… the reaction wasn't very good.
Ye Tian immediately snatched the phone back, "Don't listen to their nonsense! These people are deliberately trying to blacken your name! It's likely your rival!"
Song Xi raised an eyebrow, "Who is my rival?"
Only one name came to Ye Tian's mind: "Jin Ying!"
"Pfft."
Ye Tian chuckled. It seemed he still didn't know what had happened during his illness.
Knock, knock—
There was a knock on the door.
Song Xi glanced at the time. It was that fast.
Ye Tian looked wary.
Song Xi got up to open the door. The next second, Ye Tian heard a strange yet familiar female voice.
"I'm exhausted, quickly, get me a glass of water..."
Ye Tian peeked and saw her – speaking of the devil, it was indeed Jin Ying.
Even stranger, she actually collapsed onto Sister Song Xi, and Sister Song Xi didn't push her away!
What in the world was going on?!
Jin Ying also noticed the petrified Ye Tian standing nearby and waved, "Hello Ye Tian, long time no see."
Ye Tian's features twisted.
"So heavy."
Song Xi pushed Jin Ying away.
Jin Ying smiled, then walked towards Ye Tian, "Is your body okay now?"
Ye Tian froze, too shocked to speak.
