"I... I'm not really sure either," Yin Zhe described the scene he saw to Xie Yifei.
Hearing his words, Xie Yifei trembled slightly and murmured, "It's that serious. Your sister must have been drugged by some bad people."
"Ah?" Yin Zhe was also taken aback.
He then remembered that Qin Si Ye had rather endured his leg injury to hold his sister than allow him to touch her, and had not even let him enter the room.
"Show me your WeChat QR code so I can scan it," Xie Yifei took out her phone. "Hurry back and check, and let me know of any new messages promptly."
"Okay." After adding each other as friends, Yin Zhe rushed out of the house.
When he arrived at Xing Lan Bay in a hurry, the car at the entrance was gone.
He quickly opened the main door using the fingerprint lock that had just been registered that day.
Arriving at the master bedroom door on the third floor, he knocked lightly twice.
A dozen seconds later, Qin Si Ye, dressed in loungewear, came to open the door.
Yin Zhe's heart skipped a beat. He handed over the bag he was holding. "Si Ye Ge, how is my sister?"
"She's fine, she's already asleep," Qin Si Ye replied softly, taking the bag.
Just as he was about to close the door and turn away, he suddenly said, "A Zhe, can you cook?"
"I, I can a little," Yin Zhe hesitated.
During his years abroad, although Qin Si Ye had always arranged for a nanny to take care of his daily needs, he would sometimes learn to cook some dishes from the nanny on weekends.
"Alright then. Go to the supermarket outside now, buy some ingredients, make some porridge, and give it to your sister to drink when she wakes up." Qin Si Ye looked at him with his usual expression.
"Okay," Yin Zhe said, and turned to walk downstairs.
But a question lingered in his mind.
How was the drug in his sister's system actually neutralized?
Back downstairs, he first sent a WeChat message to Xie Yifei, informing her of Shen Xi's condition, and then walked out of the house.
At six o'clock in the evening, Yin Zhe had already finished the porridge and stir-fried two dishes. He sent a WeChat message to Qin Si Ye.
"Si Ye Ge, the porridge is ready. Has my sister woken up?"
"Not yet," Qin Si Ye replied quickly with three words.
He then sent another message, "If you're hungry, you can eat first."
"No. I'll wait to eat with you," Yin Zhe replied immediately.
About half an hour later, Qin Si Ye slowly walked down from upstairs.
Hearing his footsteps, Yin Zhe suddenly stood up from the sofa.
"Si Ye Ge, why did you come down yourself? Where is my sister? Has she woken up?"
"No," Qin Si Ye replied with two words, then walked towards the dining room. "Let's eat first."
He figured that if he didn't come down, Yin Zhe would just keep waiting like this.
"Oh." Yin Zhe quickly went into the kitchen, reheated the dishes, and brought them out.
The two sat facing each other, silently lowering their heads to drink the porridge in front of them.
"Si Ye Ge, was my sister drugged?" After a long pause, Yin Zhe suddenly looked up and asked.
Qin Si Ye was very surprised. "How did you know?"
"I, I guessed," Yin Zhe replied calmly.
"Yes. You guessed correctly. However, it's fine now." A flicker of coldness flashed in Qin Si Ye's ink-like eyes.
Yin Zhe's eyes reddened, and his voice involuntarily rose a little. "Who did it? Why would they do such a cruel thing to my sister?"
Qin Si Ye said with a stern face, "You don't need to know so much. In any case, not a single one of those people escaped. They will receive a punishment ten times more painful than what your sister went through."
Hearing this, Yin Zhe suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Did you help her detoxify the drug?"
Qin Si Ye looked up at him. "No. A doctor friend of mine came just now and gave her an antidote pill."
"Oh." Yin Zhe finally felt relieved.
It seemed Si Ye Ge was indeed a gentleman.
He hadn't misjudged him.
Qin Si Ye's lips curved upwards slightly. "A Zhe, I know what you're worried about. Although I like your sister, I also cherish and respect her. I would never take advantage of her in her unconscious state."
"Thank you, Si Ye Ge," Yin Zhe smiled slightly at him.
Shen Xi only woke up around five o'clock in the morning.
She slowly opened her eyes and, using the dim light in the room, looked around.
Seeing the unfamiliar yet somehow familiar environment, she raised her right hand to rub her eyes, only to find a large hand holding it.
Only then did she realize that a man was sleeping beside her.
Immediately, she let out a scream.
